Chapter 27

Seeing Nanny Lin jumping on Lin Long's body, she was about to howl, but Xu Zhaoning rushed ahead of her and spoke in a very quiet tone.

"Well, although 10 taels is not a small amount, it is not for Madam to take it from her private treasury. Madam, why is she so excited. I am afraid that I will have to recuperate for a while after this fall. The second sister in Yanran Courtyard is still ill. Besides, Madam and Lord Hou have been in love for many years, and Lord Hou must have been used to her care for a long time, how could she just fall down like this."

After Xu Zhaoning finished speaking, he still sighed in a dignified manner, as if he really thought about Lin Long.

Aunt Bai at the side took a deep look at her. Is the girl in front of her the pitiful little girl she knew?

The seemingly simple two sentences not only confirmed the fact that Lin Long guarded himself from stealing, but also directly blocked the possibility of Lin Long pretending to be in a daze to avoid compensation.

Both her daughter and her husband are sick, it would be unreasonable for her to pretend to be dizzy and take time to recuperate.

Sure enough, just as Xu Zhaoning finished speaking, she heard Xu Zhou angrily slapping the table and standing up.

"Come here, take Mrs. Lin to Ke'er's courtyard for me. Her husband is injured, so she should go to attend to the sick. If she still doesn't wake up, just ask someone to pour a basin of cold water on her."

When she thought of Lin Long holding 10 taels of silver, but not showing any respect to her, and even daring to lie to her, she was so angry that her heart ached.

Now she still dares to pretend to be dizzy in public, maybe she really thinks that no one in this manor can cure her.

After Xu Zhou finished speaking, she was even more furious when she saw Nanny Lin hugging Lin Long to keep her from approaching, so she yelled at Uncle Bai on the spot to go up and take her away.

"Old Bai, what are you still doing blankly! You don't hurry to get him away, it's an eyesore!"

Uncle Bai quietly glanced in the direction of the old waiter, Xu Renyu also wanted to end the matter earlier so that he could be quiet.So he nodded, as acquiescing to Xu Zhou's order.

Thus, Lin Long was carried out of Songhe Courtyard by Uncle Bai.

Such a thing has never happened in the Zhongyonghou Mansion in the past, Xu Zhaoning watched silently, the arc of the sneer on the corner of his mouth never restrained.

According to the original owner's memory, this has always been her treatment, but now that someone else is the protagonist, it really makes people feel very relieved.

Xu Zhaoning, who easily won a battle, felt that he should go back to his room and count the banknotes. After all, 10 taels is really a huge sum of money.

"Sister Ning," just as she walked out of the gate of Songhe Courtyard, she heard someone calling from behind.She stopped at the same spot, turned around and looked back, and saw Aunt Bai, accompanied by Shao Yao, walking towards her.

Xu Zhaoning raised his eyebrows, and greeted Aunt Bai lightly, "What's the matter with Aunt Bai?"

Aunt Bai's smiling face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal.

Walking in front of Xu Zhaoning, his tone was very friendly but implied to be tentative, "Sister Ning has changed a lot recently?"

"My aunt was joking," Xu Zhaoning laughed in his heart, but his face was still gentle and delicate, and at the same time, he was a little shy, "Thank you aunt today, otherwise the old waiter and the old lady would not have trusted Zhao so easily. Ning, maybe he will be kicked out of Songheyuan."

Aunt Bai wanted to test her, but she had to see if she was worthy or not.When it comes to acting on occasion, Xu Zhaoning feels that Oscar owes her a little golden man.

"Sister Ning thinks, madam, does she really know how to guard against herself?" Aunt Bai's eyes locked on Xu Zhaoning's face, for fear of missing any subtle expression of hers.

Just as Lin Long knew her well, Aunt Bai felt that based on what she had known Lin Long for many years, it was impossible for Lin Long to be so stupid as to shout "stop the thief".

Moreover, when Lin Long sued Shao Yao, her emotions were very real, which means that Lin Long probably really lost the 10 taels of silver notes.

But later, Xu Zhaoning easily convinced everyone to believe that Lin Long's thief was calling out to catch the thief and stealing the bell.

It's not that Lin Long didn't plan enough, but Xu Zhaoning was too scheming and planned all this early.

Trying to understand some of the joints, Aunt Bai suddenly felt chills all over her body.When she wasn't paying attention, this young girl who had been bored since childhood had such a deep temper?

"I don't understand what my aunt is talking about. Isn't it obvious to everyone that Madam is guarding herself? I heard that when Madam was in charge of the house, Aunt Bai and the third younger sister also had a hard time. Could it be that Aunt Bai just said that Is it true that you want to return the power of the house to your wife?"

Facing Aunt Bai's more provocative words, Xu Zhaoning's eyebrows were tinged with coldness, but his voice was still soft and pleasant.

"If Aunt Bai really thinks that her abilities are limited, why don't we go back now and let the old waiter reassign?"

Aunt Bai choked up, how could it be possible to hand over the power of the family that she had obtained.

Now she can be sure that Lin Long must have underestimated Xu Zhaoning, which is why she lost so badly this time.She has been fighting with Lin Long for many years, so it is naturally impossible for her to follow Lin Long's old path.

Thinking about it this way, the smile on Aunt Bai's face was even bigger. Before she found out the details of Xu Zhaoning, she would just have to offer delicious food and drink.

"Sister Ning, what are you talking about? If you don't know it, you can still learn it. Besides, Madam comes from a wealthy family and has countless things to do, but Auntie's place is much simpler. If you need anything in Shaoyuan, you can directly Report it to Auntie."

Xu Zhaoning chuckled, reconfirming that, compared with Lin Long, Aunt Bai's rank is indeed higher.

Since Aunt Bai intends to show her favor, she can't wrong herself, Dang even stepped forward happily, grabbed Aunt Bai's hands, and said innocently and honestly: "Auntie is so kind, it just so happens that my yard was given by my second sister a few days ago. It's ruined, I really want to plant some flowers and plants. I'm about to go to the cashier to pay the money, and now that my aunt is in charge of the house, I'll tell my aunt directly."

The corners of Aunt Bai's mouth twitched fiercely. Could this person be too straightforward? Could it be that she meant to be polite?
But after thinking about it, how much are some flowers and plants worth?Xu Zhaoning had a request so she could handle it, but at the same time, she began to despise her. She really was an ignorant and cheap girl who asked for some rare and antiques on purpose, but only wanted some flowers and plants.

Thinking of this, she responded politely, "OK, Sister Ning will go directly to the cashier to pay the money in a while, and my aunt will greet the cashier."

"Thank you, Auntie, Zhaoning will definitely support Auntie." Trying to squeeze out some silly and sweet smiles of satisfaction, Xu Zhaoning's laughter became louder.

I really look forward to Aunt Bai's expression when she knows the amount of money she went to the cashier to collect. Alas, the days to come will definitely not be too boring, she thinks.

Aunt Bai doesn't have the function of a prophet, so she doesn't know what Xu Zhaoning is thinking at this moment, she was relieved by Xu Zhaoning's short-sightedness just now.

And because of Xu Zhaoning's resolute support, she won her heart.So when she returned to Tinghe Courtyard, Aunt Bai called Steward Xu and told him to find Ren Yazi and buy some servant girls for Shao Courtyard.

Butler Xu was very quick in his work, so after lunch, he led a group of girls sent by Ren Yazi to Shao Yuan.
