Chapter 16 The evil servant in the prefect’s mansion blocks the way

On the auspicious day of the zodiac, Shen's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and the gongs and drums were noisy.

Shen Qinglan's Wenlan Courtyard was relatively clean, so she slept until three o'clock in the morning.

When she woke up, she even called "Yan'er" a few times, but no one responded.

After a while, Min'er ran in happily, apparently having received a red envelope from her new uncle.

"Miss, you have forgotten that Sister Yan'er followed your order and went to see the bride with gifts. She must have arrived at the Meng Mansion by this time." Min'er said while counting the coins in her hand.

"Gress me up."

Shen Qinglan stretched out. She was a little worried about Yan'er's situation and feared that the Meng family would deliberately retaliate.

When dressing up, Min'er chose jewelry and clothes for her according to the original owner's habits, but she said she didn't like them. She only asked to find some plain clothes and took off a lot of jewelry on her head.

"Miss, you usually like this hairstyle the most. Why are you so elegant today?"

Min'er said that she wanted to choose earrings for Shen Qinglan again, and she chose the largest pearl earrings from left to right.

"No, that's enough." In fact, it's not that Shen Qinglan doesn't like those things, but that she doesn't like restraint. Unless it's a solemn occasion, she doesn't like to dress too gorgeously. It's really a burden. If you are not careful, If you lose it, you still feel sad.

Yan'er arrived at Meng's house early in the morning with Shen Qinglan's congratulatory gift along with the wedding party.

In the last life, Yi Feng worked as a handyman in the Meng Mansion. He had to do all kinds of dirty and tiring work at a young age. Today is the Meng family's big day. He must be chopping firewood in the backyard to prepare for today's wedding banquet.

Sure enough, he was chopping firewood in the dilapidated courtyard, still injured and walking with a limp.

"Yi Feng." Yan'er stood at the door and called softly.

Hearing his name, Yi Feng subconsciously buried his head lower and chopped wood harder, for fear of being punished again.

Seeing his frightened look, Yan'er felt a little distressed. She walked to him and said softly: "Yi Feng, you...do you still remember me? It's me!"

He slowly raised his head and saw a face that was not very familiar to him. He tried to think back and then remembered that he had only met her once, and there should be whip marks left by the young master on her body.

"you……"

Yi Feng wanted to ask her why she was here, but she didn't ask and turned around to continue chopping firewood.

It doesn't matter to him whether she comes here or not, but if he doesn't finish chopping these firewood, he won't have anything to eat today.

"Yi Feng, I don't mean anything else. I just want to thank you for speaking up for me that day."

Yan'er was talking to him at the side, but he didn't respond. He just limped to get firewood, and then swung the ax clumsily.

"I'm sorry, it's me who has caused you trouble...I, I am the personal maid of Shen Qinglan, the daughter of the Shen family. My name is Yan'er, you..."

Before Yan'er finished speaking, Yi Feng stopped and looked at her, with dirt on her childish face and very cold eyes.

"You ladies, the maids around you, don't know what our lives are like." Yi Feng's voice was hoarse, as if he had been crying for a long time.

"I'm really sorry. You were punished because you interceded for us. However, my lady has promised me that she will help me buy you out of the Meng family. You won't have to suffer like this again in the future."

Yan'er's words were sincere and a little choked. After saying these words, Yi Feng became much less wary, but he did not dare to believe it easily and still had doubts in his heart.

"Why do you want to help me? Just because I said a word for you?"

Facing Yi Feng's question, Yan'er didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

She didn't dare to mention the matter of rebirth to others. No one would believe her if she told her, which made her look like a liar.

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Yi Feng sneered and bent down to continue chopping firewood.

Yan'er took his arm, put a heavy purse into his hand, and said: "Whether you believe me or not, you should keep this for now. I will rescue you within seven days."

Yan'er left in a hurry after saying that. Yi Feng opened his purse and found five silver ingots, a total of fifty taels of silver.

-

The wedding ceremony was over and all the guests were seated. Yan'er hurriedly walked to the door. When passing through the backyard corridor, she happened to meet Meng Jingming's personal servant Ma Jin.

Yan'er didn't want to pay attention to him, she just wanted to leave quickly, but this rogue blocked her way.

"Isn't this Miss Yan'er? Why did you come to our prefect's residence today? Could it be that Miss Shen is here too?"

Ma Jin had a wicked smile on his face. This girl had been raving and insulting his young master that day. Wouldn't it be a great achievement to bring her to him?

"I'm here to give a gift to my young lady."

Yan'er said, wanted to continue walking forward, but Ma Jin stretched out his arm.

"Send a congratulatory gift? How come the congratulatory gift is delivered to the inner house? The girl is probably lost!" Ma Jin said.

"What do you want to do?" Yan'er was a little scared and backed away unconsciously.

Ma Jin grinned with yellow teeth and said, "It's rare for Miss Yan'er to come to our prefect's mansion. Today is my son's big day, so Miss Yan'er should stay and have a wedding drink!"

"I don't want to drink!" Yan'er mustered up the courage to push away the disgusting guy in front of her, but after all, a woman's strength was no match for a man.

"Don't be so shameless!" Ma Jin slapped Yan'er hard, "Who do you think you are! You're just a maid from a merchant's family. Our Prefect's Mansion is not for you to come and leave whenever you want.

place!"

At this moment, Yi Feng, who was hiding in the dark, picked up a stone from the grass. When he was hesitating whether to go out, a figure rushed out from behind Ma Jin.

"damn thing!"

It's Shen Qinglan. Before she went out today, she hid a riding crop in her sleeve, and it came in handy now.

She raised her arm and whipped Ma Jin in the face, then kicked him in the chest.

She only brought two maids here today because she didn't want others to notice, so she found an excuse to go out and look for Yan'er secretly by herself.

"Who do you think you are? It's your turn to show off your power here!" Shen Qinglan helped Yan'er up and asked with concern: "Yan'er, are you okay?"

"It's okay...Miss, why are you here?" Yan'er said, covering her face.

At this moment, most of the guests were in the front hall, and there was no traffic in the backyard. If a commotion really broke out, the two women would not get much benefit.

Ma Jin tilted his mouth, half of his face was burning with pain at the moment. He noticed that Shen Qinglan did not bring anyone here, and sneered: "Sure enough, there are slaves like masters. Miss Shen is fierce, so

The slaves we brought out are so ignorant of the rules."

Ma Jin quietly pulled out a dagger from behind. At this moment, he just wanted to go to his young master to claim credit, and no matter what, he had to take down the two of them before others saw it.
