Chapter 373 Who told you to do this?
When they arrived at the Marquis of Guanyong's residence, the Queen Mother said, "No need to inform the old lady. Let's just show up in front of her and see how frightened she is."
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother also had a naughty side, and Shen Li agreed with a smile.
Everyone gathered in front of the fog and watched it fly over the Guanyong Marquis's Mansion.
Shen Li had been here before and knew the old lady's yard.
Just as I paused over the courtyard, I happened to see a maid standing at the door and asking the people inside, "Madam, would you like to have roast venison for lunch today?"
After waiting for a while, a maid's voice came out, "Go and tell the Madam to roast some tender meat and stew some venison soup."
The little girl in the yard bowed and retreated.
Obviously, the old lady was inside the house.
Shen Li led everyone and rushed in.
Sure enough, the old lady was lying on the couch, two little girls were massaging her legs, and an old nanny was standing behind her, bending over and talking to the old lady.
"The pavilion in the backyard is almost finished. I went to check it out early this morning. The colors are much brighter now, and it looks really nice. There's also a feast ready. A lot of game has been delivered from the farm, and the venison was just delivered..."
All the chatter was about the preparations for the Plum Blossom Banquet.
The old lady listened quietly, as if she was half asleep, and occasionally responded, asking the old nanny to send someone to keep an eye on it and make sure the venue was ready.
It was the first time for the Queen Mother and Nanny Zheng to be so close to someone without being discovered. They were like children playing hide-and-seek, feeling curious and excited.
Looking at Old Madam Yan lying lazily, almost asleep, the Queen Mother said, "We'll show up suddenly later, but don't scare her into a state of panic."
Shen Li thought about it, took out paper and pen, and asked the Queen Mother to write a few words.
Then, while the old nanny serving Old Madam Yan was out and the two maids were beating their legs with their heads down, he swooped out, put the note next to Old Madam Yan's face, and then suddenly slipped into the space.
Old Madam Yan opened her eyes in confusion. It seemed like a gust of wind had just blown by. It was cold outside and the doors and windows were tightly closed. Where did the wind come from?
Out of vigilance, she looked up at the beams, but there seemed to be no one there.
Turning around, she felt something next to her cheek, and the old lady picked it up casually.
Where did the paper come from?
After taking a look at the content, she sat up suddenly.
"You two go down first. Have Mammy guard the door and don't let anyone in."
"Yes." The two little girls didn't understand and retreated obediently.
As soon as the little girl went out and closed the door, Shen Li took the Queen Mother's hand, muttered something, and took the Queen Mother out of the space.
The note to Madam Yan said, "Send everyone out of the house, I want to look for you secretly."
The Queen Mother suddenly appeared in front of Old Madam Yan. The old lady stared at her in surprise for a long time, "You, is it you?"
She rubbed her eyes, thinking she was dazzled.
In his surprise, he even forgot the etiquette, did not use any respectful title, and did not stand up to salute.
He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat up, "Oh, it really is you."
When the Queen Mother saw her expression, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"You didn't expect that? Hahahaha, do you know how we got here?"
Madam Yan shook her head.
He was surprised to see Shen Li suddenly bring Nanny Zheng and Mu Heng to him.
She recalled what Guan Yonghou had said to her after he came back, "You two, have you entered Miss Shen's cage?"
How else to explain all this?
Madam Zheng helped the Queen Mother sit down and said attentively, "Old Madam guessed right. The Queen Mother is in a good mood today and asked Miss Shen to take her out of the palace to have a look. The first place they came to was you."
Old Madam Yan's eyes lit up.
The Queen Mother knew what she was thinking at a glance and said to her with a smile, "Don't worry, I am here to take you into that cage and go find the old lady of the Chu family together."
When Mrs. Yan heard this, she got up from the couch without saying a word and went to look for her cloak.
The Queen Mother said, "Tell your family so they don't get scared to death if they don't see you for a while."
"Yes, yes," Madam Yan patted her head, "I almost forgot about this."
She shouted to the outside, "Go, call the Marquis, I have something to say."
Marquis Guan Yong had entered the space with Shen Li. As long as he was called to tell her, even if the old lady couldn't be seen later, the mansion wouldn't be in a panic.
Not to mention how surprised the old marquis was when he saw the Queen Mother and Shen Li, let's talk about Old Madam Yan. She hurriedly said a few words and hurriedly put on her clothes. She took the Queen Mother's hand and said, "Hurry up, if you are any later, you will miss lunch at the Chu family."
"Then let's eat at her house." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Chatting and laughing, several people were brought into the space in front of the old marquis.
As soon as they entered, Mu Heng couldn't help showing off the photos Shen Li took for them. Madam Yan also took a long time to take photos.
The few of them soon arrived above the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Looking out through the fog, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has been renovated and looks spacious, majestic and imposing.
"The old lady's yard is over there." Mu Heng pointed to the yard on the east side of the main courtyard.
He had been here before and knew the layout.
Shen Li brought everyone to the sky above Old Madam Chu's yard and was stunned.
Xiao Chenze is actually here too.
At this time, he was sitting next to the old lady, looking coldly at Ao Nian who was being stepped on by Xu Fei, and Cui who was kneeling in front of the old lady.
Cui is crying out for injustice.
"Who told you to do this?" Old Madam Chu was too lazy to pay attention to Cui and asked Ao Nian.
Ao Ana didn't speak.
The old lady raised her hand and a maid came over.
You wouldn't have guessed how strong the old woman's hands were. After squatting down for a few times, she pried open Ao Ana's mouth, then took out something like a wooden board from her waist and stuffed it into Ao Ana's mouth.
Then, the old woman said to Xu Fei, "Please don't let him move his hands or feet."
Xu Fei immediately sat on Ao Nian's legs and then trapped his hands with his own.
The old woman reached behind her waist again and soon took out a small knife that gleamed with cold light.
Xu Fei couldn't help but admire, "You have quite a complete range of stuff here."
The old woman smiled warmly, "Young man, you are so kind."
After saying that, he reached his hand into Ao Ana's mouth and pulled his tongue.
Ao Ana then realized that she was going to cut off his tongue and started to struggle.
Xu Fei fell down and almost gave him a stitch in the side.
No matter how good his martial arts skills were, he didn't dare to act rashly in front of the old lady. What's more, he was just a guard and his martial arts skills were not top-notch. If he really resisted, he would probably be shot to death by these old women before he could even run out of the yard.
"Mmmmm, mmmm..."
There was a piece of wood in Ao Ana's mouth, and he couldn't speak clearly.
The old woman stopped and looked at him grimly, "Don't you want to play dumb anymore?"
Ao Ana nodded hurriedly.
"Do you know how to answer the old lady?"
Ao Ana nodded again.
