After feigning death, the sturdy peasant girl abducted a hunter to give birth to cubs

Chapter 63 Someone coming from the Hou Mansion

"Look, the cotton looks like an orange. It has five petals in total. Each petal of white cotton is wrapped in a brown shell."

A foodie shouted loudly, and other foodies followed him.

"The cotton stalks are very thick and the cotton bolls are as big as steamed buns. Just looking at them makes you want to take a bite."

"The cotton branches are covered with peach-like cotton bolls. There are more than a dozen on one tree. The cotton branches bend down under the weight. When the breeze blows, they sway heavily up and down. It's really beautiful."

The literary young people were dissatisfied and immediately retorted.

"They seem to be nodding to us. The cotton looks like stars from a distance."

"Looking up close, they look like white flowers. Look! The mature cottons in the green cotton field are all coming out of their shells. They are snow-white, just like clouds in the sky. Dolls are on the cotton branches.

Take a rest."

"Sister Lin, do you think cotton looks like a steamed bun?"

"Sister Lin, this cotton is obviously like the clouds in the sky, isn't it?"

"Wocao, they all look alike. Foodies look like steamed buns, and young artists look like clouds."

The silly party kept saying, "The steamed buns we eat recently are golden yellow, but the cotton is actually like white steamed buns."

"Haha... Wocao, Fang Yibo, you have a personality." Lin Fuyue laughed forward and backward.

"Haha... you don't think you're not a foodie if you say this, right?" Xiao Yichen also laughed until his stomach hurt.

Lu Shaoqian patted Lin Fuyue on the back. He was afraid that she would burst out laughing. He wanted to ask her what was so funny about this.

Looking at her with a smile as bright as a flower, he also wanted to laugh. There was no reason as simple as wanting to smile. He suddenly understood why she smiled.

They lived a leisurely and comfortable life in the deep mountains, but outside the mountains was a different scenery.

Before Lin Fuyue and the others returned to the mountains, they heard that the Ding'an Marquis sent a confidant to Shuangjiang Town to visit their eighth lady.

The people who came to the Hou Mansion were more than a dozen guards, including the confidants of the Sixth Aunt Xie Hou, and two maids who were waiting for her on the way.

Although we rode horses or carriages, the journey was still very hard, and it took us two months to finally reach Shuangjiang Town.

They had thought that it would be very poor here, but they never dreamed that it would be so poor.

As we walked all the way, the scene that greeted our eyes could only be described as horrific.

Everywhere you can see crumbling thatched houses that feel like they will collapse if the wind blows, and earthen walls that are so dilapidated that they can collapse with just a punch.

There were very few people on the road. Occasionally I met a few farm men or women. They were all sallow and thin, with dull expressions and shabby clothes.

"Mother Li, how can we, the eighth lady, get used to the poverty here?" a maid asked with disgust.

When Nanny Li left the Hou Mansion, she was the boss among the group. She asked disdainfully: "Can the General Mansion compare with these mud-legged people?"

Everyone was dubious. In such a poor village, how big could a general's mansion be?

The group of people walked for another hour, and the carriage arrived in front of an impressive mansion. A plaque reading "General's Mansion" hung above the red lacquered door.

On both sides of the gate stood two majestic large lions, and were guarded by fully armed soldiers. The gate was tightly closed.

Nanny Li called the guards to drive a carriage and walked straight over. About two hundred paces away, she was stopped by the guards: "Who is coming?"

"We are coming from Anding Houfu in Yanjing. Please report to your wife quickly. Aunt Li is here to visit the general's wife."

A soldier replied honestly: "Our general's wife has been dead for several months. Which wife are you looking for?"

Another soldier noticed and immediately went in to report to the general, "General, the Anding Marquis has sent someone to see the general's wife."

Lu Shaodong was having dinner with his mother and the newly promoted general's wife. The newly promoted general's wife was none other than someone else.

It was Huang Shaotong's eldest daughter Huang Yun from the Shuangjiang Border Protectorate. She was eighteen years old this year, a full ten years younger than the twenty-eight-year-old Lu Shaodong.

The old lady of the General's Mansion, who was also the former Madam of the Duke, was sitting in the upper position, with her son and daughter-in-law on her left, and her three grandchildren on her right.

It's just the white-eyed wolves that Lin Fuyue brought up through all kinds of hardships, and her daughters who didn't come to the dining room for dinner.

The ladies were eating in their respective boudoirs, and the general and beauties were also eating in their own courtyards.

"I am not familiar with the Marquis Anding, why would you send someone to see me?" Huang Yun looked puzzled.

The old lady glared at her fiercely: "Seeing you? Don't put money on your face. Dong'er married the eighth lady of the Hou Mansion a few months ago as his equal wife."

After hearing the old lady's words, Huang Yun's face as white as snow suddenly turned purple. She had not heard it from the servants in the house.

It was said that their evil mistress had strangled Mrs. Ping to death. Huang Yun buried her head in eating, not knowing what to do.

"Invite them in and tell them that the eighth lady of the Marquis was jealous and beat the general's wife to death. She was accidentally injured by the lady, and both the general's wife and his wife died."

After all, Lu Shaodong has been the heir for many years and still has a lot of momentum. Since he dares to throw the eighth lady to the funeral post, he has no fear.

Soon, Grandma Li and her party were politely invited to the General's Mansion and entered the gate of the General's Mansion.

I saw a small venue with various weapons and some stone locks and stone piers placed around it. It must be a martial arts hall.

It was dinner time at this moment, so the martial arts training ground was empty, and the heat wave that became increasingly intense at noon invaded uncontrollably.

The guards of the Hou Mansion walking under the scorching sun became slightly uneasy since entering the General Mansion.

All kinds of scenes make people feel deeply weird and solemn. At this moment, the dazzling bricks are burning and exuding an oppressive atmosphere.

The garden courtyard looming behind the green trees of the General's Mansion is the Back Mansion. A wooden arch bridge collapses over the pond, becoming the only access to the backyard.

Under the sun, the surface of the pond reflects light like broken gold, and purple water lilies are blooming in the water.

The servant of the General's Mansion led the way and informed Nanny Li that Miss Eight was dead.

Aunt Li was the dowry confidant of the Eighth Miss and her aunt. When she learned that the Eighth Miss was dead, she cried loudly at the gate of the backyard of the General's Mansion.

"Miss, your death was unjust. I just watched the lady get into the carriage and leave with my own eyes a few months ago. Why is there suddenly no one there?"

"Miss, you can't just go like this. What will you do if you leave me and my sixth aunt behind?"

She cried and patted the vermilion wall of the courtyard of the General's Mansion.

The servants in the general's mansion looked at her coldly, and some even showed contempt.

The housekeeper of the general's residence came up and asked, "What's going on, you mother-in-law? The general, his wife, and the three young masters are all suffering from headaches due to the noise."

Now they just want to deal with this matter quickly and get Nanny Li away so that she doesn't continue to make noises in their ears.

"What madam? Didn't you say that the vicious woman and our eighth lady were both killed?" Grandma Li roared angrily.
