Master fake high cold

Yu Shilang thought of his old friend who had become powerless since his beloved daughter disappeared, so he sent the token with a thought, maybe it could make a good relationship.

Coincidentally, their departure time was on the same day, and when Li's carriage left the city gate, local officials such as the magistrate were seeing off Minister Yu.

About ten days later, the carriage left the boundary of Huangzhou Mansion, passed through Xiyue Mansion, and entered the range of Jintian Mansion. Jintian Mansion is next to the capital, and most of their journey has passed.

The originally somewhat desolate vision finally became more green, and the carriage stopped in front of an inn.

Mu Lan jumped out of the carriage first, although Li's carriage was much more comfortable than the ox cart, and the journey was smoother, but she always felt tired from sitting and lying down in the carriage, and there was nowhere to go. Comfortable.

The inn is very big. Jintianfu is not only close to the capital city, but also located in the south-central region of Baiyue. Both the environment and the economy are much better than Huangzhoufu.

There are also many merchants coming and going, which makes the business of inns and restaurants flourish.

Li Jubai lifted the curtain of the car, she waited patiently for the driver to put the small stool away, and then she stepped out of the car.

Standing aside, Mu Lan twitched the corners of her mouth, and then stepped forward to give her a hand. She was used to the journey, used to being a poor scholar, and used to jumping off the carriage.

If she hadn't seen Li Jubai stepping down on the small stool gracefully and self-sufficiently every time, she would have almost forgotten that she was also the eldest lady of the Shangshufu in the capital, and she had been hugged by the maids to get on and off the carriage.

But now, hey, her life is getting rougher and rougher, and she still doesn't look like a young lady of the Shangshufu.

The waiter greeted the customers with a smile all over his face. After seeing Mu Lan's appearance, his eyes flickered unnaturally, and hesitation and entanglement appeared on his face.

Mu Lan took a second look at Xiao Er's expression, and when she checked out, as expected, she saw an unnatural scrutiny on the shopkeeper's expression.

She interacted with a group of boudoir girls in the middle of the capital. She didn't learn other skills, but she developed the ability to observe words and expressions. When others speak, they must judge whether they are sincere or false.

The two of them still only needed one room, after tidying up, Mu Lan and Li Jubai went to the hall to order some food.

"Aren't you going to have a drink?" Li Jubai asked unexpectedly.

Mu Lan shook her head: "Drinking too much wine will hurt your health."

Li Jubai was even more surprised, this person always ordered a jug of wine every time he stayed at the hotel along the way, and he didn't drink too much, just one or two glasses, a little drunk was enough.

She could probably see that Mu Lan had something on her mind, and the closer she got to the capital, the more worried she looked, so it didn't hurt to drink a little wine every time, it was supposed to help her sleep, but today was a bit unexpected.

Mu Lan did have something on her mind, but she drank to strengthen her confidence. After all, the fear left by death was great, and everything was unknown, so it was inevitable that she would be a little scared.

It's human nature to want to run away from danger, but she can't dodge, so every time she drinks a few sips of wine, it's a cowardly act.

However, the people in this inn are a bit weird, even if it is an important place in the prefecture, you should be more careful.

At this time, some people couldn't sit still anymore, and after looking at her, they ran out of the inn one after another, and the weirdness became stronger.

"Little two."

Mu Lan opened her mouth and called the second brother over, her eyes were full of inquiry.

"Your command, sir."

Xiao Er came to the table with a slightly bowed waist, as if he did not follow orders.

Mu Lan took out an ingot of silver and put it on the table: "When you entered the door, you looked at me twice."

Xiaoer looked at the silver on the table, his eyes lit up, and he quickly complimented: "The girl has beautiful eyebrows and starry eyes. She has an extraordinary appearance. She is so small and shapeless. I offend you."

Mu Lan smiled, and pointedly said: "My friend is also pretty, you just glanced at her and never looked at her again."

"This... small... small offend you, guest officer calm down."

Li Jubai looked at it in confusion.

Mu Lan picked up the money again: "The shopkeeper also looked at me twice, it seems that the second brother doesn't want to earn this money."

Xiao Er was taken aback, and then whispered: "Miss, I don't know something. A few days ago, an old woman took a portrait and searched all the inns and restaurants near Tianfu. The person in the portrait is somewhat similar to you." Similar, but the old woman who was looking for someone said that if someone sees the person in the portrait, if they tell the news, they will give a hundred taels of gold."

Mu Lan put the silver on the table: "Thank you very much."

Xiao Er's eyes lit up again, he picked up the silver and complimented him a few words, then went to work.

After eating and returning to the room, Li Jubai took a deep look at Mu Lan: "What's wrong?"

Mu Lan doesn't know where to start, the person who is looking for someone must be someone from the Shangshu Mansion, maybe someone she is familiar with.

According to what Uncle Yu said, her parents said she was ill, but someone was looking for someone in Jintian Mansion adjacent to the capital, presumably out of reputation considerations, looking for her in secret.

Just now, someone must have reported the news with a reward in mind, so she only needs to wait quietly, and then she can wait for who is looking for the person and see if it is credible.

"There is nothing wrong." Just as the voice fell, someone knocked on the door.

Mu Lan stood up abruptly, but she didn't dare to open the door. She said in her heart, "Here we come", but she couldn't move her footsteps. She was afraid that the person she saw would be unfamiliar, but at the same time, she was afraid that she was familiar. Closer to nostalgia, more timid mood.

Li Jubai glanced at her, got up and asked, and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the person who had just answered said anxiously: "Quickly see if this is the person you are looking for."

The woman surrounded by people came into the room, she stared at Mu Lan and shook her head, she said in a lost tone, "There are some similarities, but it's not the person I'm looking for."

After speaking, he turned to leave, but couldn't help but look back at the eyebrows and eyes similar to his own lady.

Mu Lan froze on the spot, it was her wet nurse, it was Feng's mother.

Seeing that the person was about to leave, she hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I don't know if the person you are looking for has a similar face to mine, maybe I can provide some information."

Mother Feng turned around quickly and said excitedly: "What the girl said is true? If the news is true, I will give you a hundred taels of gold."

Mu Lan adjusted her emotions, calmed down and looked at Li Jubai: "Please take all the irrelevant people out, Master, I will have a chat with her alone."

Li Jubai nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable, why not?

She couldn't tell, probably because of the sentence that all irrelevant people should go out.

She stood outside the door with deep eyes, and she came out too.

In the room, Mu Lan asked calmly, "Is He Er, the eldest maid in the house, well?"

"The little girl is well." Mother Feng replied subconsciously, and then she was taken aback for a moment, why did she answer so smoothly, as if she was answering the young lady's question before.

"I've seen a man who looks similar to me. I wonder if it's the man you're looking for?" Mu Lan's heart was a little cold, and her original thoughts about getting acquainted were all gone.

He'er was her personal maid, the person who followed her to the moat that day, and mother Feng's biological daughter.

But the problem is that He'er is still alive, and being alive means that he is an insider, and even participates in it.

So she couldn't recognize Feng's mother, even if she believed in the nurse emotionally, reason always prevailed.

Mother Feng showed disappointment, she was a man.

Then she realized something: "Miss, how do you know that there is a maid named He'er in the mansion?" Doesn't that mean that she is from the Hubu Shangshu Mansion?Why does this woman in front of me know?

Mu Lan said indifferently: "It's just a chance acquaintance. I met Your Excellency once in a long way, so I know you are Miss He'er's mother, so I asked this question."

The answers were well-organized, and there was no problem listening to them, but Mother Feng always felt that something was wrong. Could it be because this woman and Miss looked similar?

Leaving this inn, Mother Feng returned to the inn where she was staying. As soon as she opened the door to enter, she saw a lady with luxurious makeup come up to her: "How are you, have you met anyone?"

Mother Feng looked at the haggard lady, and shook her head with difficulty: "This old slave has seen someone, and he looks somewhat similar, but he is not Miss."

The woman sat back in a daze, and murmured: "Wanwan, where have you been, where should I find you, my mother?"

"Ma'am, let's go back to Beijing." Mother Feng was also very sad, but seeing the majestic Mrs. Shang Shufu running around and checking all day, and almost lost her appearance in the past six months, she felt sorry for Madam even more.

"I won't go back. If I go back, no one will look for Wanwan." Mrs. Qiu shook her head again and again, although she understood that the master announced that her daughter was ill in order to take care of the Shang Shufu and his daughter's reputation, and for long-term plans.
