Chapter 232: The Farce at the General's Mansion
"lady!"
Xiaohong hurried back to Nanshe and said to Su Li as soon as she entered the door, "Miss Lu fell into the water."
"what?"
Su Li was eating walnuts to nourish her brain, and asked hurriedly when she heard this.
Xiaohong couldn't help laughing, but she thought that she shouldn't be too outrageous, so she held back her laughter and recounted the whole story in detail.
"As soon as I turned around, Miss Lu disappeared. When I heard the cry for help and rushed to the river, I saw Miss Lu struggling in the water."
"Oh my, what if he fell into the water in such a cold weather? Where is he?" Su Li was really worried. She hoped nothing would happen during the New Year.
Xiaohong Road:
"Madam, don't worry. The young master, Young Master Xie, and two young princes happened to be passing by and helped rescue the man. He is currently changing clothes in the guest room."
After that, Xiao Hong continued, "Madam, I think Miss Lu has ulterior motives. She even asked me about the general's whereabouts along the way."
At this point, there was nothing Su Li didn't understand.
This person must be coming for Pei Heng!
She is very good at cutting off romantic relationships.
"Come on, follow me to the guest room."
A group of people surrounded Su Li and walked out of Nanshe, heading towards the guest room in the front yard. Before they even entered the room, they heard Madam Lu's pig-slaughtering cry:
"Oh, which damned little bastard pushed my precious daughter into the water? It's freezing cold, and he's trying to kill someone!"
Seeing Su Li coming in, Mrs. Lu screamed and rushed over. Song Tao quickly stepped forward to separate her and prevent her from rushing over to Su Li.
Mrs. Lu's face was covered with tears, and two strands of glistening snot were hanging from her nose. She cried to Su Li:
"Ah Li, your cousin and I came to visit you during the Lunar New Year, and this is how you treated us! Not only were your servants disrespectful and rude, they also attempted to murder my daughter. How do you think we're going to settle this?"
"Servant? Murder?"
Su Li was confused and turned around to ask.
Lu Xuan'er on the bed had changed into clean clothes, but the fear of falling into the water and the cold made her tremble and shiver uncontrollably.
Because she was trembling, her upper and lower teeth knocked against each other, making a clattering sound, and she finally spoke clearly with great difficulty.
"There were... four... four boys who tricked me... onto... the bridge, and then pushed... me off!!!"
Four servants?
Su Li immediately understood and turned around and said:
"Go call Huan Ge'er and the others over."
Huan'er and the other three first pushed the person off the bridge and teased him for a while before calling for help to pull Lu Xuan'er out. By then, they had already gone back to their rooms to change clothes. When they heard their mother calling them, they hurried over again.
"It's them!"
As soon as Huan Ge'er and the other three entered the room, Lu Xuan'er pointed at them with red eyes!
"These four brats are trying to kill me!"
"presumptuous!"
As soon as Lu Xuan'er finished speaking, Song Tao shouted:
"How can you casually defile my young master?! And this one is the young master of Duke Xie's family, and these two are the young princes of Prince Heng's mansion! You will be punished for your disrespectful remarks!"
The son of the general's mansion?
The young master of Duke Xie's family? And the young prince?!
Lu Xuan'er stared in disbelief, and then looked carefully. The four brats had all changed their clothes. Each of them looked noble and extraordinary, and none of them seemed easy to mess with.
She blinked in disbelief.
Thinking of the purpose of her trip, she rolled her eyes and pretended to faint.
"Daughter! My daughter!"
Mrs. Lu threw herself on the bed, crying and shouting.
At this time, Su Li said, "Madam Lu, the doctor said that Miss Lu just caught a cold and her life is not in danger. I see it's getting late, so I won't keep you any more food. I'll send a carriage to take you back."
Mrs. Lu was stunned.
What's going on? With her daughter already fainted, shouldn't Su Li just let them stay overnight? If they stay overnight, they can find another way to get closer to the general. By then, the matter will be settled.
Lu Xuan'er on the bed was also surprised. She half-closed her eyes and desperately signaled to Mrs. Lu to find a solution quickly.
Croissant moved even faster. With a wave of her hand, two strong maids came forward, packed up Lu Xuan'er along with the quilt, and carried her and the quilt out.
"Mrs. Lu, it's a rare visit to the General's Mansion. You were in such a hurry that you didn't even have time to eat. Madam said that Miss Lu likes the dim sum at Guiyue Tower, so I packed a few extra packets for her. You can enjoy them on the way."
In addition to the food boxes containing Guiyuelou snacks, the maids and servants also threw a heavy package onto the carriage. Before Madam Lu could say anything, the general's guard couldn't wait to slap the horse's butt hard.
The horse was frightened and ran away.
Humph, you want to play tricks in the General's Mansion?
no way!
The maids and nannies in the general's mansion were filled with righteous indignation and shared the same hatred for the enemy!
In the carriage, Lu Xuan'er finally managed to stick half of her head out of the quilt, and tears came to her eyes when she saw her mother's grievance.
"Mom! We came here and didn't get anything. Are we just going to go back in disgrace?"
Mrs. Lu was happily rummaging through her bag.
The bundle was heavy, and it looked like it contained a lot of goodies. Indeed, the General's Mansion was rich and luxurious, and even just one item would be enough for people like them from a humble family to show off for a long time. Although they didn't successfully keep it, this heavy bag would be enough for them to chew on for a long time.
I'm really curious, what gifts will they give them in return?
Mrs. Lu opened the bundle with great interest, but what caught her eyes was a pile of wet clothes, which were exactly the ones Lu Xuan'er had worn.
"impossible!"
Mrs. Lu continued to flip through the pages in disbelief.
But there was really nothing in the bag except wet clothes!
"hateful!"
Mrs. Lu threw the dirty clothes in her hands.
"I heard that Su Li was a fierce woman. She set fire to all the handkerchiefs, purses, and love poems that the noble ladies of Shengjing City stuffed into the general's mansion. Today, it seems that she is really a petty and vicious woman!"
"This virtuous woman, even when she was pregnant, would have arranged for her husband to take a concubine. Why is she so jealous and vicious? She's just as arrogant and domineering as she was when she was little, looking down on everyone!"
Lu Xuan'er had tears in her eyes, but she was secretly angry in her heart:
"Mom, there's a long way to go! I just don't believe that her long pregnancy can prevent the general from having an affair outside? The general is also a man, a man full of blood and energy! I will always find a way!"
……
After sending the Lu family mother and daughter away, Su Li sat upright on the warm couch, looking at Brother Huan and the others.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Li Xun and Li Shou were already frightened.
They had heard a lot of rumors that the eldest brother was an uneducated playboy who often fought cocks and ran dogs, and either skipped school or got into fights.
Ever since Madam Pei married into the family, she has been very strict with the children. She has transformed my eldest brother, a troublemaker, into a top student in the academy, and all the teachers are full of praise for him.
I don’t know how Mrs. Pei will punish them for causing such a disaster this time?
The two brothers were trembling with fear when Xie An cried out, pulled out a dried fish from his sleeve, and jumped onto the warm couch while chewing it.
