Chapter 230 Leaving Here and Returning There
With a "bang", the bolt fell.
With a creak, the door opened.
It was the same servant, in the same posture—a head and half of the body poking out from the crack in the door.
The servant looked at Liu Da and said, "Why are you still here?"
Hearing this, Liu Da almost fell down on the spot.
I'm here to see the eldest lady, why are you leaving?
Where to go?
Liu Da was sure that this servant was deliberately not understanding what people were saying!
Absolutely!
But he didn't dare to lose his temper, nor did he dare to argue, so he could only patiently ask: "Excuse me, young man, have you reported back to my eldest lady?"
The servant looked at Liu Da and shook his head impatiently, "No."
"what?
Then you just...just now..." Liu Da didn't know what to say!
"Just now... just now..." The servant imitated Liu Da's way of speaking and almost made Liu Da cry!
"I just met the two ladies in our mansion." The servant suddenly changed his expression and said, "The eldest lady said that the eldest daughter was tortured in the mansion of Marquis Qinxing and became sick and weak. She needs to rest well.
The eldest lady is sleeping at this moment, and the eldest lady doesn't want to be disturbed.
The Second Madam asked you to go back by yourself.
It is said that no matter what happens in the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion, the eldest daughter's father, the Marquis Qinxing, is there.
Oh, by the way, there is also the second wife Yin.
They are all here, so just deal with whatever happens. Why would they come all the way to pick up our eldest daughter?
Our eldest daughter is still just a little girl who has not yet reached marriageable age.
In the past, when our eldest daughter was in the Marquis' Mansion, she was not only tortured by the concubine Yin, but also treated harshly by her biological father, and then bullied by the two little beasts in the Marquis' Mansion. Even her grandmother was biased!
Since when has our eldest daughter been in charge of the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion?
Now that something has happened, they are in a hurry to pick up our eldest daughter.
Can't you see our young lady having a comfortable life?
What are you going back for?
Do you still want to continue to torture the young lady?
Or do you want to sell our eldest daughter for silver?
Come on, I won’t waste any more time talking to you.
The two ladies in our house said that you should go back to where you came from!
I also told you not to hang around outside our Mid-Levels Manor, it’s annoying!
We in the Anguo Mansion are not happy to deal with people from the Qinxing Marquis Mansion!"
After saying that, the door closed again with a bang.
As the sound of footsteps faded away, silence returned to the gate.
Liu Da stood alone outside the gate of this manor halfway up the mountain, looking at the dark gate, the carriage behind him, and the sun in the west...
Liu Da was in tears.
It's over! We are doomed to return empty-handed.
And I definitely won’t be able to enter the capital today!
I traveled a long way to do this unfortunate job, not only did I not make any money, I also had to pay for my own meals.
Now it seems that I have to pay for the hotel accommodation!
Liu Dan untied the reins with a droopy head, climbed onto the shaft, and drove the carriage away from the manor halfway up the mountain.
He turned his head to look at the red sun in the west that was about to set over the other side of the mountain, then looked at the rolling hills, and remembered what Peng Lu had said before he came: telling him not to hold out any hope, but to just enjoy the autumn scenery along the way.
Liu Da smiled bitterly.
Yes! He didn't even get to see the eldest lady, and was blocked outside the gate by the people from the Anguo Mansion.
What else can I do besides enjoying the autumn scenery?
In fact, I know that although the eldest lady is good-tempered, the Anguo Mansion has already taken the suffering eldest lady back home. How can they not protect her well?
Can we still let the Marquis plot against us?
Can a servant like me, sent by the Marquis, be allowed to see him whenever he wants?
"Oh!" Liu Da sighed again, shook his head, looked at the sky, and thought that even if he hurried to the capital, he would not be able to enter the city gate!
You have to pay for it yourself and find an inn outside the capital to stay for the night, and you can enter the capital the next morning.
Liu Da thought again, when he returned tomorrow morning with nothing, the Marquis would definitely scold him.
I am the unlucky servant...
Alas! It is really hard to express my suffering!
Only half an hour after Liu Da left, Leng Rongyue and a few others returned in a carriage.
The two large lanterns outside the gate of the Banshan Manor have been lit and can be seen from afar.
The carriage had just stopped outside the manor gate, and before the man in blue got out of the carriage, the gate creaked open.
It was the same servant who had just stuck his head out and looked outside. Seeing that it was the eldest lady who had returned, he quickly raised his hand and opened the door.
The servant came out and called out, "Miss, you are back. The old lady and the two ladies are very anxious and are waiting for you in the hall!"
Leng Rongyue smiled and nodded, and got off the carriage with the help of Qingyi, "Got it, I'll go in and see my grandmother and two aunts."
"Yes, Miss, please come in!" The servant said, and took the whip and reins from the blue-clothed man. "The ladies have worked hard, follow Miss, and leave the carriage to me."
Lan Yi smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much, young man!"
"Oh, no, no, it's a trivial matter!" The servant took the whip and reins, led the carriage, and entered the manor halfway up the mountain from the side door.
