Quick Travel: The host only wants to make money

The system was originally in a very depressed mood, but when it saw its host's stupid look, it couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xia Mian finally bit the bullet and stepped forward to knock on the door.

The housekeeper was a little surprised when he saw Xia Mian and hurriedly took the big and small bags from her hand, "Miss Xia, why are you back?"

As she said that, she thought of something and looked behind her in surprise, but she didn't see anything and was a little confused.

Of course Xia Mian knew what he was looking at, it was just to see if Cheng Yu had followed him back.

But this result disappointed him.

Xia Mian smiled awkwardly and followed the housekeeper to the house. She asked Xia Mian to sit down first while he hurriedly went to find Mrs. Leer Cheng.

When Mrs. Cheng heard that Xia Mian was back, she immediately stood up and asked, "How did she come back?"

The housekeeper choked and said, "I didn't ask. It looks like he came back in a carriage from the temple."

Mrs. Cheng rolled her eyes at him angrily, "Oh! Who asked you this? Did she come back alone, or did Yu'er come back with her?"

The housekeeper suddenly realized that this was what the lady meant!

He said with some pity: "Miss Xia came back alone and did not see the young father-in-law."

Mrs. Cheng paused when she heard this, and then sighed, "Oh, I know this child is not so easy to persuade. How can a little girl like Xia Mian be persuaded?"

The housekeeper thought so too, "Yes! The young master's temper is so stubborn that even nine cows can't pull him back. How could he follow Miss Xia back so easily?"

Mrs. Cheng thought so. Although her face was a little disappointed, she still put away the sad look on her face after seeing Xia Mian.

"Good boy, why don't you say anything when you come back, so I can send someone to pick you up!"

When Xia Mian saw Mrs. Cheng, she hurriedly stood up from her chair and grabbed Mrs. Cheng's hand.

Then he gestured, "I'm sorry, I couldn't bring Cheng Yu back."

Mrs. Cheng clapped her hand and said, "I have already heard from the housekeeper about this matter. It doesn't matter. That boy Cheng Yu has always been stubborn. I haven't persuaded him for so many years. If you, a little girl, say it, he will How could you listen?"

When Xia Mian heard what Mrs. Cheng said, she felt even worse.

But one thing, Mrs. Cheng was right. Maybe Cheng Yu was really stubborn. Maybe he left Huguo Temple and chose to travel. He should have guessed the plan between her and Mrs. Cheng.

Therefore, when he glanced at her before, it was probably because he had noticed her thoughts and felt that her presence would affect his tranquility, so he wanted to avoid her.

Xia Mian was a little depressed, this was really a waterloo in her career.

After Xia Mian came back, she ate three bowls of rice and turned her grief and anger into appetite.

Mrs. Cheng looked at Xia Mian and felt a little distressed, and kept picking up food for her.

"Eat more. Everything you eat in the temple is vegetarian food, so you won't be able to eat well. Now that you're back, tell the kitchen what you want to eat and let them cook it."

Xia Mian ate without raising her head, just nodded repeatedly, thinking to herself that Mrs. Cheng was really good. If she had such a good mother as Mrs. Cheng, she would not run away to become a monk.

When the meal was delicious, the butler came over with something in his hand.

"Madam, I just saw the lion at the gate of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. The pearl in its mouth was pulled out by some ignorant person. It must have been done by the Young Master of the Liu family. I regret that you disgraced him last time. "

Hearing this, Mrs. Cheng put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, "Huh! He dared to molest my future daughter-in-law. I just gave him such a small lesson, but he still dared to come to my town to act wild. , It’s really outrageous!”

Xia Mian originally felt a little guilty when she saw the housekeeper coming over with the bead.

Unexpectedly, they thought it was Liu Zhengqing who did it, and Xia Mian's bent waist straightened up immediately.

What does the bad thing Liu Zhengqing did have to do with her Xia Mian?

He immediately let out a sip and put a piece of meat into his mouth.

Mrs. Cheng said angrily: "The Liu family is just a low-ranking official, but they dare to go against our government. Even if the government is gone, my son is still here! It's their turn to be arrogant!"

Xia Mian nodded repeatedly, that's right.

Too presumptuous!

Mrs. Cheng asked the housekeeper to find someone to pluck out the beads from the lion's mouth at the door of Liu's house. Not only would the beads be plucked out, but the eyes would also be plucked out and the legs would be broken.

"I want to see if his lame lion can still ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters!"

The housekeeper took the order and went out with the bead. He kept mourning for the Liu family in his heart. It was not good to offend anyone, but it happened to be offended by the government of their country. If the madam found out, why not punish them to death?

Xia Mian was also shocked. When she first met Mrs. Cheng, she thought she was an older woman. She looked kind and amiable, and she seemed very easy to get along with.

Xia Mian swallowed her saliva. Who is this domineering and arrogant woman now?

Xia Mian thought of a sentence inexplicably, "The boys in Nancun bullied me because I was old and weak, but I moved my hands like a thunderbolt."

She is worthy of being a woman who was able to raise a child by herself after the death of the Duke of Guo, and support the entire Duke's residence.

Mrs. Cheng calmed down and looked at Xia Mian, "Why don't you eat? Are you angry at the Liu family's shameless behavior? Don't worry, I won't make it easy for the Liu family. If I don't show off my power, I will really Do you think there is no one in the government office of our town?"

Xia Mian didn't dare to speak. Since she had determined that the bead was picked out by Liu Zhengqing, it had nothing to do with her.

Liu Zhengqing is not a good person, so it is understandable to take the blame. One more person is not more, and one less person is not more.

Xia Mian decided that this was Liu Zhengqing's unilateral apology to her.

So, when the Liu family went out the next morning, they found that the eyes of the mythical beast at the door had not only been gouged out, but also its legs had been smashed. Now the two lions were blind and lame. .

Mr. Liu was furious and furious.

"Let me check! Who did this? Are you tired of living if you dare to go against our Liu family?"

This incident was regarded as a joke and circulated in the capital for many days.

These days, the Liu family has become the talk of the people after dinner.

He even lost face among these aristocratic families in the capital. Mr. Liu could not even lift his head when he went out.

When Mrs. Cheng heard about this, she sneered in her heart, "Humph! Go and find someone to deliver a letter to the Liu family, asking them to take care of their son. If he dares to come out to do evil again, let them look good."

When the Liu family received the note, they thought that this matter in their own family was related to their unfulfilled son.

Mr. Liu was even more angry and locked Liu Zhengqing at home, not allowing him to go anywhere.
