Chapter 273
Shutong smiled, "You don't have to be embarrassed, in fact, I already knew what you were going to say to me? Isn't it just to marry in place of your eldest lady? I agree!"

The old lady and Ms. Wang were shocked at the same time. The old lady coughed violently, and Mrs. Wang stared at Shutong in horror.

"You, how did you know?"

She was terrified and nervous, only the two of them in the village knew about the young lady's escape, it was an important matter, especially since the people from the mansion would be arriving soon, there must be no leak of news.

The old lady coughed violently nervously, beat her chest vigorously, tried to take a deep breath, and finally suppressed the coughing sound.

Picking up the cold tea and taking two sips, he managed to hold his breath, and stared at Shutong sharply, "Little girl, how do you know?"

Shutong chuckled, "Look at how nervous you are, I overheard the two of you talking in the room last night!"

Mother Wang's face was stiff, "You, you actually eavesdropped on us!"

The old lady sighed, and the guards on the village and the Missy's accompanying maids were all let go to accompany the Missy to the southern border. Now there are only herself, Mama Wang and two little girls in the kitchen. Someone eavesdropped on the window in the middle of the night , No one really noticed!

"You didn't tell anyone?"

Shutong smiled and said: "This is your secret, I won't say it carelessly!"

Mama Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "My good girl, you don't have to agree to this matter, but don't let the wind out!"

Shutong nodded, "Don't worry, I'm not those gossips!"

After she finished speaking, she tilted her head and looked at the two of them, "I see that you are very loyal to that eldest lady! Wouldn't it hurt your family if you let her go like this?"

Mother Wang sighed, "The girl heard what we said, and I don't want to hide it from you. We have all been kind to the late Marquis and Mrs. How can we betray our promises!"

The old lady stared at Shutong, "little girl, how old are you?"

Shutong blinked, "I just had my tenth birthday a year ago!"

The old lady was disappointed, "You are too young, but you can marry at the age of twelve!"

Shutong was taken aback, how could he be twelve when he had just passed his tenth birthday?

Mama Wang had already heard what the old lady meant, she shook her head quickly and said: "Old lady, I think it's better to let go of this matter, Missy and the others have been gone for a few days, even if the people in the house know, they can't chase them back, we just push The eldest lady went away secretly, we didn't know about it!"

The old lady sneered, "You're thinking too simply. How can Mrs. Hou be a fuel-efficient lamp now? She originally regarded us Mrs. Xianhou's subordinates as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh. If she seized such a big handle, she might kill our whole family." Sell ​​it to a bitter kiln!"

"You and I are old bones, just suffer hardships, don't you give up your children and grandchildren at home? Think about your grandson who is still nursing, if he is really sold to a bitter kiln, he may not survive!"

Mother Wang's face was pale, they were all servants of the Hou Mansion, and their lives and deaths depended on their master's thoughts.

Seeing Mama Wang's ashen face, Shutong couldn't help but wonder: "Since this master is not good, you can change it!"

The old lady sneered, "Little girl, you are so naive. We are all servants of the Marquis Mansion. The deeds of prostitution of the whole family are in the hands of the master. Even if the master kills you on the spot, there is nowhere to redress the grievances!"

Shutong still can't figure it out, the deed of selling his life is just a piece of paper, so let's just ignore it.

She also suggested, "You can move out completely while your master is not here!"

Ms. Wang was about to cry, "The deed of prostitution is all recorded in the government, where are we going to escape? If we are really caught, we will definitely be killed on the spot!"

As a person of the last days, Shutong didn't understand the seriousness of the ancient master-servant contract at all. Seeing the ugly faces of the two of them, she still didn't understand.

Asked: "Then the only way is to find someone to pretend to be the eldest lady?"

Mama Wang nodded with a bitter face.

The old lady looked at her expectantly, "Miss Xiaoyue, I heard that you and your family are separated, are you willing to marry the fourth son of Zhao Wang? With your status, you have no chance of getting such a good marriage! Look... ..."

"Old lady!"

Mother Wang interrupted her suddenly, "Miss Xiaoyue is still a child, we can't push her into the fire pit!"

The old lady blushed, coughed a few times, and hummed: "If it's possible, why would I be willing to sacrifice an innocent girl? I wish I could replace it myself, but it's a pity that it won't work!"

Shutong waved his hands and smiled: "I know you want to say that the fourth young master is too powerful and killed two new daughters-in-law, I'm afraid I will be killed by him too!"

Mama Wang's fat face flushed red, "Miss Xiaoyue, stop talking, I'll find someone to take you back to Ancheng!"

The old lady covered her mouth with a veil, coughing a little out of breath.

Shutong has tried it out and knows that the two of them have not lost their humanity.

Nodding: "I agree!"

"If you say that I have similar eyes to your eldest lady, I won't be recognized if I pretend to be!"

Mother Wang smiled bitterly, "Miss Xiaoyue, you don't understand the seriousness of the matter, I really can't hurt you!"

The old lady suppressed the numbness in her throat, and asked excitedly, "You really agreed?"

Shutong knew that action is worse than talk, and saw a table for the Eight Immortals in the middle of the room, walked over, and pinched a corner of the table with white tender hands.

Grabbing lightly, there was only a click, and a leg of the rosewood Eight Immortals table was snapped off by her.

Shutong raised the table leg and smiled brightly at Mama Wang, "Look! I'm very good!"

Ms. Wang's mouth was wide open, she was too terrified to speak.

The old lady managed to recover from the cough, but when she saw her actions, she gasped and coughed again.

Shutong threw away the table legs, clapped her hands, and said with a smile: "Mother Wang, don't look at me for being young but I have great strength. Don't worry, the fourth son will not hurt me!"

Mother Wang was stunned for a while and finally came back to her senses, and stammered, "Xiaoyue girl, you have so much strength!"

Seeing the old lady next to her who was coughing and out of breath, she hurried over to relieve her, "Old lady, Miss Xiaoyue is so powerful, look!"

The old lady nodded while coughing, and it took a long time before she panted heavily.

"If it's an ordinary girl, I'm really worried, but Miss Xiaoyue is so mighty, so there's nothing to worry about!"

Shutong pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Actually, I was not interested in replacing your eldest lady at first, but I heard that the fourth son of King Zhao is very skilled in martial arts.

The old lady's heart finally fell to the ground, and she took two sips of cold tea to suppress her cough.

"Thank you Miss Xiaoyue, Ms. Wang, don't be in a daze, hurry up and wash and dress up for Miss Xiaoyue!"

Mother Wang finally laughed, but soon she couldn't laugh again, she worried: "Miss Xiaoyue is strong, but she is young after all, can she really deal with that Fourth Young Master?"

Shutong waved his hand and said seriously: "I can fight very well, one against a hundred is no problem, don't worry!"
