"Mother...mother..."

Seeing that Fang Xu's steps were a little shaky, Liu Fanyin's heart tightened and she quickly went over to help him.

Fang Xu looked at the farce in front of him with cold eyes, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his fingertips were trembling a little, "I don't know how we offended this gentleman and suffered such a misfortune."

Wei Yan looked at Fang Xu and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "It seems that we made a lot of noise, even Mrs. Hou who is bedridden was alerted."

Fang Xu's back was straight, and although his expression was not good, he still had some momentum, "Baiji, go and call everyone in Chengyuan. This package is strange. If we don't find out, I will be afraid." I can’t get out of the Hou Mansion.”

"Yes."

Bai Ji turned around and ran away. After a while, he brought back twenty or thirty people, all of whom were Chengyuan's slaves.

Bai Ji stood at the front with a cold face, glanced around, and said in a loud voice, "Everyone is standing, Madam wants to ask a question."

The slaves looked at me and I looked at you. No one knew what was going on. There was only one person whose expression was not very natural.

Fang Xu walked down the steps slowly, walked up to everyone, and looked at them one by one with cold eyes, "Where have you been from last night to now?"

The servants looked at each other in confusion. Although they were confused, they still answered the madam's words honestly.

"Madam, I was on duty last night and was guarding the entrance of the courtyard. I just went to bed."

"It rained heavily yesterday, so I couldn't wash my clothes. There happened to be a shortage of people in the small kitchen, so I followed the people inside to prepare the dishes. I took advantage of the fact that it didn't rain today and washed my clothes."

"This slave has also helped Master Liu. Everyone in the kitchen has seen this slave. He is making medicine for you in the pharmacy."

"Yesterday, several new batches of materials were received in the Nichang Pavilion. Sister Su Zi led the slaves and Cuixi to show the masters. They are still sorting them out this morning."

Everyone answered one by one, until only the last person remained.

Bai Ji recognized who that person was at a glance, frowned and asked, "Baozhu, where were you at that time?"

Baozhu, who was named, was stunned, lowered his head, and spoke timidly, "This slave has been cleaning the house."

"You are lying."

Fang Xu's expression was indifferent and his tone was calm, "There is mud on your shoes and it has dried. You have been to the backyard and stepped on the mud."

Baozhu was shocked and quickly changed his words, "I remember wrongly. I was sweeping the yard."

"Only the green brick floor needs to be swept. How come your shoes are stained with mud?" Su Zi's face darkened and he asked in a loud voice, "Tell me, what on earth did you do!"

Baozhu was Su Zi's maid. Someone committed a crime under his nose, and Su Zi looked particularly ugly.

Baozhu's legs were a little weak, and he kept shaking his head, and once again overturned his excuse, "My slave's things fell into the flower bed, and I tried to pick them up, but they got stained with mud."

Fang Xu looked at her coldly and said calmly, "But you also have mud spots on your sleeves."

Hearing this, Baozhu lowered his head suddenly and looked at his sleeves.

Seeing how stupid this girl was, Wei Chen closed his eyes and didn't want to look at her anymore.

Fang Xu glanced sideways, looking faintly at Bai Ji aside.

Bai Ji understood and left the yard. Not long after, he returned to Chengyuan carrying a package with seven or eight patches on it.

With obvious anger on his face, Bai Ji smashed the package on the ground with all his strength.

The package fell apart and spread out, revealing what was inside, which was a small hoe and half a package of long needles.

<divclass="contentadv">"Then how do you explain these things you hid under the quilt!" Bai Ji was obviously very angry and slapped her immediately, "What is it about the Hou Mansion that I can't forgive you for?" , I was framed like this by you, and almost everyone was arrested!"

Baiji's strength was so great that Baozhu was staggered. When he saw what had happened, his heart was filled with despair. He bent his knees and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Su Zi was even more angry and wanted to curse, "Baozhu, I remember when you first entered the house, your name was Pandi, and you had to send your monthly silver back home. You were as skinny as a little monkey, right?" Madam changed your name, bought you some clothes, and gave you a new life."

"Madam has undoubtedly given you a new life, how could you... take it seriously like an immature beast!"

Baozhu lowered his head, not daring to raise his head to look at Fang Xu.

Either fear or guilt.

"It's so lively here."

A high-pitched voice came, and everyone followed the sound and saw Lin Sheng walking into Chengyuan holding a fly whisk.

Seeing Fang Xu, Lin Sheng was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked with concern, "Mrs. Hou's face is so pale, but she is not feeling well?"

Fang Xu bowed to him and said in a low voice, "Thank you so much, Eunuch Lin, for your concern, but I have a cold, so it doesn't matter. I originally thought of leaving all the matters in hand to the children, but unexpectedly something bad happened. Don’t come forward to solve it.”

The smile on Lin Sheng's face faded a bit. How could he not understand the meaning of Fang Xu's words if he was so smart? He immediately turned to look at Wei Han and said with a cold face, "The trouble is over, why don't you get out quickly?" !”

Wei Yan was unwilling to give up, gritted his teeth under the pressure, and said, "Eunuch Lin, I am acting under the emperor's order. I will never leave in despair without getting to the bottom of it."

Lin Sheng's face was gloomy. He had been a great eunuch for more than 20 years, so he naturally had a lot of momentum. "The Queen Mother ordered not to be rude to the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion. Please close the team immediately and follow me back to resume your duties."

"Eunuch Lin..."

"Commander Wei, do you dare not listen to the Queen Mother?" Lin Sheng interrupted him, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Here, it's not your turn to have the final say."

Wei Han's eyes turned red with anger, he raised his feet and walked outside, saying coldly, "Retreat."

"stop."

Wei Yan paused, looked back with suspicion, and met Fang Xu's cool eyes.

Fang Xu coughed twice, unable to hide the sick look on his face, and said calmly, "The good Marquis Mansion asked you to behave badly, and you want to leave without cleaning up the mess. Commander Wei has a very good idea."

"I..." Just as Wei Han was about to speak, he saw Lin Sheng looking at him coldly from the corner of his eye. His words were stuck in his mouth and he couldn't say anything.

After being silent for a long time, Wei Yan slowly turned around and said, "Recovery."

"Mrs. Hou, he is confused. He has offended many people just now. Don't take it personally." Lin Sheng smiled again, as if he wanted to comfort Fang Xu.

Fang Xu looked indifferent and was indifferent to his advances.

Lin Sheng expressed his displeasure and laughed awkwardly, "Mrs. Hou, the Queen Mother is still waiting for this servant to go back, so I will leave first."

After saying this, Lin Sheng stopped smiling and turned to leave.

"Eunuch Lin."

Lin Sheng had only taken two steps when he heard Fang Xu's voice coming from behind him and hurriedly turned to look at her.

Fang Xu's expression was calm. Even though his face was pale, he could not hide his aura. "I'd like to ask Eunuch Lin for me, does he still remember the contribution made by the Marquis Mansion during the mutiny in the palace?"
