Chapter 187 Attacked
Xiao Man, who hadn't gone out all day, was really bored, and Lei Yuxiu never returned home.Xiao Man, who had nothing to do, began to search around in Lei Yuxiu's study.

A small brocade box was hidden in the deepest cabinet, which aroused Xiao Man's curiosity.

She gently opened the box, and inside was a chalcedony grape silver hairpin.Picking up the hairpin, reflecting the dim light of the candle, the chalcedony grapes are crystal clear, not expensive but very chic.

Xiaoman remembered that it was left for Lei Yuxiu when she had to follow Gu Yunzheng back to Dapei in Nanyi, but he kept it.With a knowing smile on her face, she frowned.

There were footsteps outside the door, Xiaoman's eyebrows and eyes became more smiling, and he ran out with the hairpin in his hand, saying as he ran, "Why have you been hiding this hairpin and not returning it to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoman raised his head and found that only Shen Lie came back, and there was no sign of Lei Yuxiu.

Her smile froze straight across her face.

Shen Lie bowed to Xiaoman and said: "Madam, the general has urgent military affairs in the army today, so I asked my subordinates to send you a message."

Even if Shen Lie didn't look up, he knew how disappointed Xiaoman's expression was at this time. He bit the bullet and handed a small bag of snacks to Xiaoman: "The general prepared a small snack for you. Come back with you."

Xiaoman took the small bag of snacks, said "Got it" wearily, and walked towards the green garden with the bag of snacks.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Shen Lie didn't dare to say anything, so he wanted to back down.

But suddenly Xiaoman stopped him again: "Shen Lie, did he tell His Majesty about the wedding when he entered the palace?"

Shen Lie was stunned, and shook his head: "Madam, the military affairs are urgent, so the general didn't have time to go today..."

Xiaoman waved his hands and said: "I'm not your wife, don't call me that in the future. Just be like Mai'er, call me Miss... I'm just the adopted daughter of the Chang family who was fostered in Lei's Mansion. You can call me Miss." It's just flattering me, I can't bear the word 'madame'. It would be bad for Princess Shuiyue to hear you if you call me fluent in the future."

Cold sweat came down Shen Lie's head, and he quickly explained: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, the general will definitely go to the palace to find His Majesty after finishing his military affairs."

"Shen Lie," Xiaoman walked up to Shen Lie, looked at the seven-foot-tall young man with a perplexed expression on his face, and said, "Go back and tell Lei Yuxiu that Princess Shuiyue married into Lei's Mansion. I, Chang Xiaoman, have no opinion and dare not have any, just let him abide by the imperial decree. There is no need for him to hide outside and dare not go back to the house because of this matter."

"It's not like that, you misunderstood the general." Shen Lie explained anxiously, "The general is really delayed by something."

Xiao Man chuckled lightly, turned around and walked towards Cuiyin Garden without saying anything else.

When she returned to her own room, she found that the chalcedony grape hairpin was still in her hand.

"Why am I like this, like a resentful woman who is looking forward to her husband's return every day." Xiaoman put the hairpin into the jewelry box, looked at himself in the mirror, "I have to find something to cheer myself up Get up, don't look decadent."

Early the next morning, Xiaoman asked the housekeeper to find a construction team to repaint and renovate the small courtyard where he lived before moving into Cuiyinyuan.

In addition, she also ordered the construction team to renovate and clean the Shanhai Garden where General Lei and his wife lived in Lei Mansion.

Then, she asked people to hang the best red curtains in Jinxiufang in Shanhai Garden, and asked people to hang high-quality lanterns from Blossoming Artisan Shop in the corridor.

The twelve budding plum trees sent from the nursery were planted in the courtyard ingeniously, and the road was paved with white stones in the plum forest, and several glazed lamps were placed under the trees beside the road.

After some repairs and renovations, the plum groves in the Shanhai Garden are fragrant, the lights are shining, and the Roman gauze curtains are beautiful.

Then Xiaoman sent someone to buy brand new furniture from Mulongfang, matching it with celadon vases from Zhenbao Pavilion.There are red plums waiting to bloom in the bottle, which is very festive but not tacky.

Everyone whispered in whispers, thinking that Xiaoman's overhaul of Shanhaiyuan must be moving here to live with General Lei.After all, General Lei is now the owner of Lei Mansion, so he really shouldn't continue to live in the Wutong Garden where he lived when he was still a son.In the same way, the entire Lei Mansion defaults to Xiaoman as the eldest wife of Lei Mansion, and it is reasonable to live with the general in Shanhai Garden.

After working for two consecutive days, Xiaoman took Maier to Shanhaiyuan, "Maier, do you think I redecorated Shanhaiyuan, isn't it beautiful?"

Mai'er was dumbfounded from the moment she entered the door.

The entire Shanhai Garden has been transformed by Xiaoman in this way, the plum garden is cold and fragrant, the white stone road is winding, the stream is bubbling with thin ice, and the red paint of the wooden bridge is particularly unique.It just so happened that a thin snow fell the night before, which made the whole courtyard more quiet and dignified, very pleasant.

"It's much prettier than before," Mai'er said appreciatively, "When will Miss move in here?"

"It's not me," Xiaoman said with a smile, "Princess Shuiyue has to find a decent place for her to live when she arrives in Leifu. After thinking about it, she will be the eldest wife of Leifu and live with General Lei." It is not suitable for other places, so I chose this place without authorization. In terms of the status of the princess, this is the only place that is suitable, don’t you think, Mai’er?”

Maier's expression froze for a moment: "Miss, what did you say?"

"Don't you know yet? Shen Lie told me that your general never entered the palace to talk about divorce with Emperor Xian. And these days, he was afraid of being questioned by me, so he hid in the army and didn't even dare to come back." Xiao Man smiled wryly. He said, pursing his lips and brushing the side hair behind his ears, "I think if this is the case, I met him once, and there is nothing I can do to help him get married. I suddenly thought that the new house has not been properly furnished. So I Made it what it is now."

"Miss..." Mai'er was at a loss for words, not knowing how to persuade her, "The general will definitely cancel the marriage of Princess Shuiyue."

"Will it? Mai'er, you count that there are still five days before the big wedding day, and he hasn't even seen him, do you still believe that he will really call off the engagement?"

"Miss……"

"Forget it, I've packed up this house," Xiaoman said indifferently, "I've packed up all my things in Cuiyin Garden, and today I'll move back to the original small courtyard. After thinking about it, since you don't Let me leave the mansion, as long as it is remote and quiet, and I will not meet the general and princess when I go in and out, it is best for me to live there."

"Miss, what you are saying is all angry words. No matter what, the general will not agree with you to live back in the original courtyard." Mai'er was a little anxious, and quickly stopped Xiaoman, thinking in her heart that Xiaoman should not be allowed to move out of Cuiyin Garden no matter what. .

"He doesn't agree? He can't even see a shadow for a few days in a row, does he still care where I'm going to live?" Xiaoman said coldly.

When Mai'er heard this, she, who was always calm, also showed embarrassment at this moment: "Miss, you must not be angry with the master, everything will be discussed after the master comes back."

Xiaoman forced a smile and said, "Mai'er, when he comes back, it's time to welcome his relatives and become the bridegroom's official."

After finishing speaking, Xiaoman went back to Cuiyin Garden.

Mai'er was really in a hurry, thinking what happened to Shen Lie, if the general didn't come back, I'm afraid that Miss Xiaoman at home really lost her temper, and no one would be able to stop her.Thinking of this, Mai'er felt that nothing could be trusted, she flew away from Lei Mansion, and ran straight to the Dapei Army barracks outside the city.

On the other side, Xiaoman returned to Cuiyin Garden and began to order the people to move things.

The servants and maids moved the things from the Cuiyin Garden to the remote courtyard one after another, all panting from exhaustion.

At this moment, the sound of weapons colliding and the shouts of guards suddenly sounded outside Lei Mansion.

People in the mansion stopped and looked around one after another, wanting to know what was going on outside the mansion.

Only Xiao Man immediately realized that something happened, and hurriedly said to the maids: "Quick, everyone will hide in the room!"

The maids didn't react for a while, but saw that Xiao Man had drawn out the murderous knife, and immediately threw away the things on hand in unison, and ran into the house one after another.

Xiaoman jumped onto the wall with one step, and could vaguely see that the guards outside the mansion were fighting with someone.Soon, five masked assassins in strange costumes killed the guards at an astonishing speed, rushed into the Lei Mansion, and attacked Xiao Man with the same target.

Xiaoman didn't have time to hesitate at all, and immediately started to fight.

"Who are you?" Xiaoman questioned while responding to the masked assassin's extremely fierce moves.

These assassins moved as fast as lightning, and their moves took people's lives, leaving no chance for Xiao Man to catch his breath.Apart from attacking frantically, he didn't say a word.

After several rounds of fighting, Xiaoman knew that she was no match for these five assassins, so she had to retreat.

At this time, more Lei Mansion guards came to support one after another, but they were killed one by one by the assassins mercilessly.

Xiao Man watched the guards fall one by one, and cried out in her heart that it was not good. She rushed quickly, taking advantage of an assassin's unpreparedness, and tore off the black scarf covering his face.

The skin of the face under the black scarf was purple and black with scales, and the eyes were dark blue like dark fire.

Seeing this extremely ugly face, Xiaoman exclaimed immediately: "It turned out to be a Shura demon!"
