Chapter 55
Because of the rush of the trip, Mu Qiu didn't go back to Ping'an Village, but just asked someone to send a letter to the village head.She met shopkeeper Wu again, and told him that she was going to Beiliang City. As for Tianxiangju in the future, she might bother him for the time being.

After simply packing up their luggage, Mu Wen, Li Xianrou and Xuan Ying set off.Li Xianrou was still ill, so Xuanying didn't dare to drive the carriage too fast along the way.

It was about seven or eight days' journey, and they walked for ten days before they saw the gate of Beiliang City.As soon as the carriage entered the city, Li Xianrou couldn't hold back anymore, and she let Xuanying go directly to Andinghou's mansion.

Mu Qiu helped her get out of the carriage, and the three of them walked straight towards the gate of Hou Mansion.

"Who dares to trespass into the Marquis's mansion!" The guard at the door pointed his spear at the three of them with a fierce look on his face.

Li Xianrou tried her best to maintain her good upbringing, and said seriously: "Please inform me that an old friend has come to see Marquis Anding."

"Old man? Why have I never seen you?"

"The two of you just need to go in and make an announcement, and Marquis An Ding will naturally come out to meet you."

"Our Marquis is very busy, how can we have time to see you and other idlers? You should come back another day!"

Mu Qiu snorted coldly: "It's just a watchdog, it's quite good at putting on airs!"

"Hey! Who are you scolding, brat?"

The two made a gesture to catch Mu Qiu, but before they could reach him, they flew out with a chest pain.Xuan Ying glanced at the two of them coldly, and followed Mu Qiu's mother and son directly into the Hou Mansion.

Those two also knew that they had put outsiders into the Hou's mansion easily, and they must have no good fruit to eat, so they hurriedly chased in without caring about the pain.

"You stop!"

Li Xianrou stopped, and the shout attracted the butler and more guards.When Li Mingde saw the three people in front of him, he couldn't hide his panic.He hurried forward and saluted Li Xianrou and Mu Qiu.

"Ma'am, miss..."

The two people who caught up obviously didn't understand what happened: "Butler Li, these three people broke in regardless of our obstruction, and we will drive them out."

"Presumptuous!" Li Mingde scolded the two of them angrily: "You are blind, this is Madam and Missy!"

"Ah?" Li Mingde's roar made the two of them so frightened that their knees limp, and they knelt down in the direction of Li Xianrou and the three of them: "Madam, please forgive me, miss, please forgive me, villains have eyes but don't know Mount Tai..."

Mu Qiu ignored them, she didn't come here for these two insignificant guards.

"Butler Li, I haven't seen you for a while, I wonder if you are okay?" Before Li Xianrou could speak, Mu Qiu couldn't help the anger in his heart.

"This...thank you for your concern, miss, my slave is very kind..."

"Hmph! Hello, I'm not good!" Mu Qiu didn't practice Tai Chi with him, and said with a serious face: "Li Mingde, hand over my brother!"

Steward Li was already sweating, he lowered his head in fear and did not dare to look directly at Mu Qiu.

"I don't know... I don't know where the eldest lady got the news? Lord Hou also... was planning to inform the madam and the eldest miss in the past two days, but he didn't expect the eldest miss and the madam to come to Beiliang City so soon."

"Don't talk to me about these useless things. I just ask you, where is my brother? Where is he?"

"Little...young master...of course he lives in the Hou Mansion..."

"Really? Then ask Steward Li to bring him out! Our family still has a lot of things waiting for me to go back and deal with."

"This... Lord Hou is not in the mansion, this servant... dare not make decisions without authorization."

"I didn't let you make the decision. Didn't you still call me Miss? I will make the decision myself!"

Li Mingde was caught in a dilemma, whether to agree or not to agree.
