Chapter 225 Calculated step by step
The door of the ancestral hall opened, and an old nanny led four unfamiliar maids to stand outside the door. Yu Meixue was shocked, thinking that her husband was really a man of foresight.

The old nanny solemnly told her to take her son out, but Yu Meixue did not move until her husband comforted and urged her. Remembering the conversation the couple had had the night before, Yu Meixue looked at her husband reluctantly. Under her husband's gentle gaze, she held her son's hand and firmly stepped out of the ancestral hall gate.

Along the way, Yu Meixue could hear the old nanny's chattering. She listened silently, but nothing went in one ear and out the other. When they were almost at the reception hall, the old nanny stopped, stared at Yu Meixue and asked.

"Sixth Grandma, do you remember what I just said?"

Yu Meixue held Yang Ge'er's hand tightly and nodded obediently. The old nanny was satisfied and pointed to the four maids behind her.

"Since Sixth Madam has remembered, I will not waste any more words. These girls are the capable maids that the old lady has sent to serve you out of consideration for her grandson's wife. Sixth Madam, take them out to visit guests. Grandma, please remember that Sixth Master is still waiting for you. Don't embarrass the Marquis's Mansion and don't say anything that is inappropriate."

Yu Meixue glanced at the four people who stood out. She didn't intend to refuse, but... "Mammy, grandma is considerate, and as a granddaughter-in-law, I dare not refuse. But my girl is already very familiar with it. She also knows all my habits. Naturally, she is more convenient than these four. It's not good to be rude when going out as a guest. What do you think, Mammy?"

The old lady's eyelids drooped, she knew what Yu Meixue meant.

Seeing that the other party seemed as if he would not leave until her personal maid came out, the old nanny was secretly annoyed that this man was not tactful enough to hit the snake with a stick. She secretly took note of it in her heart, snorted, and called a maid to come and report to Rongxitang quickly. After getting the approval of the old Lord Feng, the old nanny sent someone to find Yingchun who was in custody. Luanshan was still in custody.

Although Yu Meixue was anxious, she knew that the Marquis's family might not agree if she went there again. If she got angry, her niece's plan would fail. So she stopped arguing and called Yingchun, who was crying with joy. She took her son to the flower hall and met the nanny sent by Fang. Yu Meixue pretended to be honest and dull and socialized with the powerful old nanny.

Finally, they got out of the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. Only the nanny was in the carriage with Yu Meixue and her son. The maid and Yingchun they brought with them were now sitting in the next carriage sent by the Marquis' Mansion. This was the result of a special arrangement by the nanny.

On the way, the nanny was considerate and comforting, which made Yu Meixue gradually feel at ease. Then she followed him into the mansion of Duke Cheng'en and personally paid a visit to the wife of Duke Cheng'en. The four followers behind her were also sent away by the experienced nanny. Then, when she successfully met Li Yaoguang with her son, she was very excited.

"Guang'er, why are you here? Did you arrange all this?"

Li Yaoguang greeted Fang first, then helped up her excited aunt and explained, "Aunt, I don't have such a great ability. You and Yang Ge'er were able to leave the house safely, thanks to Madam's help."

Yu Meixue quickly pulled her son to greet Fang, "Thank you very much, Madam, for your help. I am so grateful for your kindness."

Fang happily refused Yu Meixue's greeting and asked the nanny to help her up. "Ah, it's just a small matter. No need to be polite. I also like Yaoguang very much. There is no need to say these polite words. Okay, good child, you have been wronged. You can live in our house safely these days. The Marquis's Mansion does not need to be afraid of it."

Yu Meixue was moved and nodded repeatedly to thank her, but was held back by Fang. It was her son's request and it was something that could be done easily. It would be better to ask this little girl Yaoguang to arrange a few more new plays for her!
Fang was complaining in her heart, but she interrupted him, "Good boy, good boy, I'm sure you and your nephew have a lot to say. Go, go, and talk properly."

Both the aunt and the nephew appreciated the favor and thanked him together. Then they were led by the maid to the guest house that Fang had asked her daughter-in-law He Wanniang to arrange personally to rest. The only one who followed them was Yingchun. As for the four people who were following them, Li Yaoguang didn't care what they looked like at the moment.

After entering the yard, the servants were sent away and she was left with only her own people. Yu Meixue handed Yang Ge'er to Yingchun's care and took Li Yaoguang to ask.

"My son, what you said last night was not clear. I only knew that you wanted to find a way to get us out. What happened today? Why are you and your brother the only ones here? Where is your uncle? What about him?"

Li Yaoguang knew it would be like this, but his uncle...

"Aunt, yesterday's incident was urgent. I was not completely sure when I went to visit you in the evening. Besides, my uncle said he had his own plans. And it is reasonable for the wife of Duke Cheng'en to invite you and your cousin to come to the house for a talk, but it is not appropriate to ask my uncle. But it doesn't matter. I will have my own plans later. At most, I can ask the second young master Lu to go there. I am sure that they will not dare to stop me given the nature of the Marquis's family." Yu Meixue felt relieved when she heard what her niece said. She patted Li Yaoguang's hand and thanked the child for his hard work. She made up her mind to wait for her husband with peace of mind and not to cause trouble for her husband and children.

Little did she know that the husband she was thinking about had another big trick up his sleeve.

In the mansion of Marquis Zhenwei, after Yu Meixue and her son were taken away early in the morning, the masters of the mansion could not sleep anymore. The old lord sat in the Buddhist hall of her Rongxi Hall, kneeling and chanting scriptures unsteadily, twirling the Buddhist beads in his hand, and asking questions from time to time.

"Have the Rokuro family returned?"

The old lady shook her head.

Not long after, he couldn't help asking again: "I asked you to tell her to be polite and not to say nonsense. Did you tell her?"

The old lady nodded.

Another hour or so passed, and the person he was waiting for still hadn't returned. Old Lord Feng couldn't help but call the old maid over and ask, "The front asked you to send someone smart and reliable to follow. Do you have enough people?"

The answer he got was still a reassurance, "Don't worry, old lady, bring enough."

In the Buddhist temple, the smoke from sandalwood curled up. Everything was apparently normal and she should be calm and collected. But for some reason, she always felt uneasy.

This uneasiness reached its peak in the afternoon when the four clever maids sent by the old nanny were all sent back to the Cheng'en Mansion, but the maids from the sixth room and their son were missing.

Old Fengjun was so angry that he slammed the Buddhist beads on the table, not caring that several of the beads he had been playing with for most of his life were broken, and asked fiercely: "What does the Cheng'en Mansion mean?"

Everyone below was silent, especially the old maid who was personally ordered to handle all these matters. She shrank her neck and dared not answer.

Old Fengjun glanced at the useless people in the room, narrowed his eyes, pointed in the direction of the ancestral hall and said, "Go, go to the ancestral hall and call Lao Liu to me."

The old lady was busy moving. Just as she stepped out of the door, she heard the old Lord Feng shouting, "Wait!"

The old nanny's legs froze in mid-air. She turned around and waited for instructions, only to hear the old Lord Feng suddenly change his mind.

"Forget it. I am old and don't want to see that rebellious grandson. You go and tell him that he can rest easy just by getting his wife and children out. If he doesn't want me to go to the government office and tell him about the rare incident of his grandmother being seriously ill and the grandson's wife refusing to take care of her and only caring about her own happiness, he should do the job honestly. Otherwise, I will show no mercy."

The old nanny nodded and hurried to the ancestral hall to convey the old lord's final warning.

After hearing this, Cheng Su licked his back teeth, his eyes shining.

This is what you've been waiting for!
