"Now go and pay a hundred taels of silver to your account, and then go to Xiaorong Village and visit the village chief and clan chief. You will definitely let them suppress today's matter and don't spread it everywhere." She ordered.

With that said, she turned to the eldest maid and said, "Go and tell Grandma Jin that she doesn't need to send anyone to Xiaorong Village anymore, but you have to hurry up about going to the government office."

"yes."

After Aunt Ruan and the eldest maid had all left, Mrs. Hou rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Yesterday when Ah Ruan went to pick her up, Sister Xi refused to come back with her. After today's commotion, I'm afraid she will be even less willing to come back.

"

She sighed: "I'm afraid that child is not very obedient. Even if he is brought back, there will be a lot for everyone to worry about."

Zhu said: "How many people got on the carriage without saying a word when they heard that they were the children of the Hou family. But she was unmoved and asked us for certificates. In my opinion, this is a child who does not admire glory and wealth.

She is also very independent, which shows that she is a good person. Such a child is easy to teach. As long as we treat her well, she will not be ignorant of good and evil."

"What you said makes sense." Mrs. Hou nodded.

What she is most satisfied with about her eldest daughter-in-law is that she is generous, upright, decisive, and sensible. It is a pity that the men in the family are not up to par, and they cannot be successful in civil and military affairs, so they cannot restore the former glory of the Hou Mansion. The women in the back house

No matter how good you are, it won't be of much use.

"If Sister Xi refuses to come back, I will go see her in person." Zhu said again.

"That's fine." Mrs. Hou nodded.

On the other side, Mrs. Wei was also telling Nanny Li: "This is one hundred taels of silver. You change into a coarse cloth dress and quietly go to the head of the Xu family and ask him to persuade Xu Yongyi to agree to send Xu Xue to the Hou Mansion. Xu

When Xue is delivered to the Hou Mansion, we will give him another hundred taels."

Although Grandma Li didn't know why Mrs. Wei wanted to use such means to recognize her daughter, she still agreed. She went back to find clothes, put them on again after leaving the house, hired a mule cart on the street, and went out again.

to Xiaorong Village.

Aunt Li set out earlier than Aunt Ruan, but it took some time to change clothes and hire a mule cart. When she arrived at Xiaorong Village, she didn’t dare to go in directly. Instead, she got off the cart at the entrance of the village and asked along the way to find Xu Chengguan’s.

Home.

Nanny Ruan took the Marquis's carriage and traveled quickly. Although she set off late, she and Butler Liu arrived at Xiaorong Village, just as quickly as Nanny Li. When she found Xu Chengguan's house and entered, she followed Nanny Li.

When they met, the three of them stared at each other.

"Ruan, Nanny Ruan, Butler Liu Liu Liu." Nanny Li was so bluffed that her words were useless.

Although buying Xu Chengguan to persuade Xu Xue to return to the Hou Mansion was not a bad thing in Grandma Li's opinion, Wei's sneaky demeanor of not wanting others to know when she ordered her still made her feel inexplicably guilty. This

Huizi was bumped into by Nanny Ruan and Butler Liu, and she was really frightened.

Nanny Ruan frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Without waiting for Nanny Li to answer, she asked Xu Chengguan: "Clan Chief Xu, why is Nanny Li here?"

Nanny Ruan has been to Xiaorong Village twice, and Xu Chengguan knew that she was Mrs. Hou's confidant. Even Wei and Zhao Yuanliang did not dare to act like masters in front of Nanny Ruan. Moreover, Nanny Li was frightened when they saw her.

This way, you know that she is afraid of Aunt Ruan and Butler Liu.

He immediately took out the one hundred taels of silver notes given to him by Nanny Li: "This nanny is here to persuade me to persuade Xu Yongyi to agree to send Xu Xue to the Hou Mansion."

After all, Grandma Li is an old man who manages things. She is very smart and capable to be chosen by the Wei family and sent to do this kind of thing.

Her mind turned around at this moment, she calmed down, stood up, bowed slightly, and explained to the two of them: "The second lady said that she would never admit the wrong daughter. But the Xu family insisted that Xu Xi was the one who carried the wrong child.

This matter was bound to cause trouble. If word spread to the capital, the Hou Mansion would be embarrassed again. So the second lady sent an old slave over and asked Patriarch Xu to give Xu Yongyi a good advice.

The biological daughter was sent to the Hou's Mansion to enjoy glory and wealth. As long as Xu Yongyi and his wife don't do evil things, Miss Xue, a little girl, will definitely not be unwilling to return to the Hou's Mansion. Solve this matter as soon as possible to prevent others from seeing the joke of our Hou's Mansion."

These words were explained in a reasonable and reasonable manner. Xu Chengguan and Butler Liu didn't think much about it, they just thought it was true.

However, Nanny Ruan is very experienced in house fighting and thinks more than these men. And based on her understanding of the Wei family, she always feels that things are not that simple.

For just a moment, she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

She nodded and said: "That's it."

She walked in, sat down in the seat given by Nanny Li, and said: "You followed the second lady back home at noon, and you didn't see Mrs. Xie. You didn't know the situation, so it's excused for you to come here.

I don’t know, but the appearance of Xu Xue and Ms. Xie are very similar. I also asked the villagers, and there is no doubt that she is indeed Mr. Xie’s biological daughter. Therefore, Miss Xi is the wrong one from our Hou Mansion.

child."

"Ah? Really?" Grandma Li said in surprise.

"His family should be at home at this time, why don't you come with me to take a look?" Nanny Ruan said, "Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to explain to the second lady."

Although the old lady didn't ask her to go to Xu's house again before she left, Nanny Ruan knew the virtues of the Wei family. If she didn't let her give up, she might be able to cause some trouble. Now Nanny Li takes the place of

She went to see Mrs. Xie, hoping that Mrs. Wei would be able to calm down a bit.

Aunt Li was the wet nurse of the Wei family. She never gave birth to another child after her son's death. She regarded Wei as her daughter and was the most loyal to her. The Wei family was deeply scheming and suspicious.

Grandma Li is the person she trusts the most.

"Yeah...that's fine." Nanny Li agreed hesitantly.

Before leaving, Nanny Ruan winked at Butler Liu and signaled him to stay here to handle the matters assigned by the old lady. She followed Nanny Li out, got on the Marquis's carriage, and drove to Xu's house.

go.

Xu Chengguan's family is in the east of the village, and Xu Yongyi's family is in the south of the village. They are half a village apart.

After getting on the carriage, Mother Li saw the coarse cloth dress she had specially worn and pulled at it uncomfortably. Mother Ruan just pretended not to see it.

The Xu family was tired after working for a long time. After eating some snacks that Yongyi bought in the county town, they went back to their houses to rest. It was said to be a rest, but in ancient times, due to diligence, no one had the habit of taking a nap.

Everyone in the house is doing their own thing.

Xu Xi was practicing calligraphy when she heard someone knocking on the courtyard door. She put down her pen and saw Xu Yongyi coming out of the hall and opening the door.

"You...why are you here again?"

Hearing Xu Yongyi's confused and somewhat frightened voice, Xu Xi quickly walked out of the house, stood on the porch and looked over there.

Xie and Xu Xue also came out of the house.

"My second wife doesn't believe that Miss Snow is born to Mrs. Ling, so she specially sent Nanny Li over to have a look." Nanny Ruan's voice came from the door.
