Mrs. Yang smiled faintly with satisfaction.
What's the difference between a county lord and a county lord? When you come here, you have to know the truth that a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Since you have high aspirations, you have to see if you have the fate to do so!
After today, let’s see if the honorable Royal Highness the Eldest Grandson will even look at her again.
Men are such a thing, tsk tsk...
There was a knock on the door, so the master and servant stopped talking about the matter. Madam Yang turned around and saw her daughter's maid coming over. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Where's Qingyu?"
The girl shook her head in fear: "Girl, I don't know where the girl has gone."
Madam Yang's face darkened, but Miss Yang San had indeed often gotten up early or went out for a walk at night because she couldn't sleep. The Ji family now had patrols everywhere, and there were also capable servants from the Yang family in their yard. Madam Yang San was not worried about her daughter's safety, but just glanced at the girl and said, "Go down and take someone to look for the girl. It's time for breakfast."
The girl's shoulders relaxed and she responded quickly.
Madam Yang had breakfast by herself. Seeing that the maid and Yang Qingyu had not returned yet, she became angry again: "This girl is becoming more and more out of line!"
She was just about to ask someone to go check it out when Nanny Yang came in and whispered, "Madam, Madam Liao is here."
Madam Yang raised her eyebrows and went out to greet them. She saw Madam Liao asking her anxiously, "Madam, have you seen the county lady?"
"It's so early in the morning, the county lady must be in her room. Why are you asking this?" Madam Yang looked very surprised and looked at Madam Liao in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Liao was extremely anxious: "Where is she? The county lady is not in the room at all. Mrs. Yuan came over and said that Niuniu had a fever again in the middle of the night. She went to look for the county lady but couldn't find her. It's already early in the morning and the county lady's yard is still empty. No one is there!"
Madam Yang frowned, then shook her head: "Madam, why are you so panicked? The county lady is in the inner house, and the guards outside are very strict. And what happened with Feng Chun and Lord Deng just now, the defense is so tight that not even a mosquito can fly in. Besides, there are guards patrolling outside the county lady's yard, so it's not a big deal. Maybe the county lady herself is unhappy and went out for a walk."
Mrs. Liao felt a little toothache: "That's true, but before leaving, Master Bo repeatedly told us to take good care of the county lady. She didn't come back all night, which always made people worry."
Madam Yang smiled and said, "You too, there is nothing to worry about. The county lady is not an ordinary woman. She has always been used to doing what she wants. The rules that are usually used to restrain women cannot restrain this county lady. Who can control her? You just need to make sure she is well."
Mrs. Liao sighed and rubbed her temples with a headache: "Forget it, I'll ask someone to look around. Besides, I have to go and take a look first..."
Before she finished her words, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, followed by someone anxiously calling "Madam".
This was a servant of the Liao family. Mrs. Liao was a little anxious when she heard the shouting, so she hurried out: "What's going on? Is there any news about the county lady?"
The one who came was Madam Liao's nanny. When she heard what Madam Liao said, she said with some embarrassment: "Madam, it is true, it is said that there is a fire in Young Master Ji's house!"
What
Mrs. Liao frowned and asked, "If there is a fire, how will the Ji family guard the house?"
However, since they live in the Ji family and such a thing happened in the Ji family, Ji Yunting still rescued the injured Su Yao, and Mrs. Liao also wanted to go over to take a look.
Madam Yang followed suit and said, "I'll go with you. It's not good to pretend not to know when you're staying at someone else's house."
What she said made sense. How could Mrs. Liao disagree? She nodded, and Mrs. Yang followed her.
The outside of Young Master Ji's yard was indeed burnt black, and the door panel was half burnt. At the moment, it was full of smoke and fire. When Mrs. Liao and Mrs. Yang arrived at the door, they knew that the matter was not serious - they saw that only some outer walls were blackened, and the building was still intact.
But since they were already there, they still had to go in and take a look. When Mrs. Liao and Mrs. Yang entered the house, they saw many servants everywhere holding buckets, fire sticks and other things. Mrs. Ji was in the middle of the yard, surrounded by many other ladies.
The courtyard of Young Master Ji is not his usual courtyard. He just rescued the injured Su Yao here, so he recuperated here. There are small courtyards nearby, all of which are arranged for officials' wives to live in. When the fire broke out here, everyone came to see the situation.
Mrs. Ji was extremely anxious. When she saw that the fire was out, she finally had the heart to apologize to the other ladies: "This is all due to the servants' incompetence. Fortunately, there is no damage. It was just a false alarm. Please forgive me..."
Since nothing serious happened, no one would say anything unpleasant. After all, although the Ji family was a good business family, they had a good relationship with Xiao Heng, and their eldest son had saved Su Yao, so they all talked at once to comfort Jita Tai for a while.
The lady also said in a strange voice, "By the way, why is there such a big commotion? There is no movement from Young Master Ji's place. Is he okay?"
After these few days, everyone has realized that Young Master Ji has a good future, so naturally everyone is somewhat concerned about him.
Mrs. Ji was naturally worried about her son, and she found it strange to hear that. She hurriedly lifted her skirt and walked inside to see her son. Mrs. Yang smiled slightly at the threshold.
There was such a big commotion. Although the fire was not big, there were many people putting out the fire, and the ladies came to check the situation, so the yard was crowded with people. Even if Young Master Ji was injured, he should have asked someone to come out and check, but there was no movement. Mrs. Ji was a little worried, but when she walked to the door of the room and saw a pair of women's embroidered shoes, her face suddenly changed.
The embroidery on the upper of this pair of shoes is so exquisite that you can tell at a glance that they are not something that an ordinary servant can own.
Since he is not a servant, whose shoes are they
Whose shoes would appear at my son’s door so early in the morning
Before Mrs. Ji had a thought in her mind, a sharp-eyed lady exclaimed, apparently having also seen the shoe.
The lady coughed immediately and shook her head with a half-smile: "No wonder such a big commotion didn't alarm Master Ji. It turns out... there is a reason."
They were all wives of the head of the family, and had seen all sorts of things before? As soon as they saw the shoes, even if there was something they didn't understand, they all understood, and immediately smiled knowingly. Then some people felt it was not good to see what was going on in other people's rooms, and said goodbye to Mrs. Ji.
