Chapter 647: decline

The City Lord's Mansion is very demanding on the servants. Before entering the door, you need to learn some basic etiquette.

Li Haitang followed Mrs. Chen to her house, and listened to her spit and spittle talking about some details, which were similar to what he had learned in the City Lord's Mansion before.

"The old lady of the City Lord's Mansion is the real person in charge."

Mrs. Chen talked about some etiquette rules. After the daughter-in-law Xiaohong came in, there would be a special steward to teach her. She mainly talked about some taboos in the city lord's mansion.

"When you see the old lady, hide away."

Mrs. Chen glanced at Li Haitang, she looked plain, and with such a look, she should be very safe in the City Lord's Mansion.

The old lady is most jealous of the beautiful little lady, and the thoughtful girl who wanted to climb the bed because of her beauty, was made immortal and crippled by her.

"But don't be afraid of this, your appearance is safe."

Mrs. Chen spoke very honestly, that's exactly what happened, Li Haitang touched her chest, feeling a little pricked.

At the beginning, she wanted a mask of a great beauty, but the savage husband refused to give it to her. Now, with an ordinary appearance, she is indeed not hated by others and does not stand out, so the benefits have come out.

"Auntie, I understand this. After all, I'm married, so I don't care about the city lord."

Li Haitang said so, but he was thinking in his heart that Yu Wenshou, the lord of Sishui City, looked like a mature and beautiful uncle, with a dignified appearance, and he was unexpectedly a mama boy.

Her impression of Yu Wenshou immediately fell to the bottom, and her mind was full of pictures of Yu Wenshou sucking milk and acting like a baby.

Li Haitang patted his cheek and told himself not to think wildly.

"The old lady likes fresh and tender young masters who have never been crowned."

Among the peers, there are some people who do this kind of business, of course it is very profitable, but it is detrimental to morality.

In short, the old lady has often brought in the young master over the years, and she has never seen anyone come out in the end.

Li Haitang shuddered twice, thinking in his heart, it was because they were all mummified and kept in sculptures, so of course they couldn't get out.

"Auntie, go to work in the kitchen, what should I do?"

The reason why Mrs. Chen's daughter-in-law was selected was because she had some basic cooking skills, but Li Haitang was not familiar with Manzi's dishes at all. She could cook many styles, but they were very complicated.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to cook. I told the steward to let you make dim sum."

There is no difference in style of dim sum, as long as the taste is similar. Anyway, the city lord and the old lady don't like to eat dim sum, and they usually use it more for entertaining guests.

In this way, Li Haitang was a little more secure.

"I know, if it's okay, I won't wander around the house."

There are several forbidden places in the City Lord's Mansion. When she first arrived here, she had to be stared at. Li Haitang is not that stupid. However, there is not much time left for her, and it is best to make a quick decision.

Mrs. Chen explained some more, and Li Haitang kept it in mind.

In the evening, she went back to her room, but Xiao Lingchuan did not come back, presumably she was either tripped by something, or had a clue, and went to another inn to wait.

Li Haitang left a note and lay on the bed. In the middle of the night, she felt a cold wind blowing beside the bed.

There is no sound, but there is a clear smell, it is undoubtedly my savage husband.

"Husband."

When Li Haitang saw Xiao Lingchuan, he directly burned the note under the oil lamp, and then quickly extinguished the lamp, fearing that Mrs. Chen who was two rooms away would notice.

"Do you have any news?"

Li Haitang asked what she wanted to ask the most. If Liusu was locked in the dungeon, she would break the appointment and find another way.

"Liu Su is imprisoned in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion, as if in the City Lord's courtyard."

Xiao Lingchuan frowned, there was no news about Yun Jinghong, and Liusu's place of detention was not too secretive.

He spent the whole afternoon looking for a job in a labor market, but because he didn't know the basics, no one would use him, so he came to visit the city lord's mansion at night.

The city lord's mansion is heavily guarded, and it is too difficult to bring people out secretly, unless they are upright and come out.

Xiao Lingchuan planned to find another way, but he couldn't think of a way for a while.

"Husband, then look at mine!"

Li Haitang rubbed the face of his savage husband, and told the nonsense he made up.

Xiao Lingchuan couldn't laugh or cry, why did he become a heartless person unintentionally, and even took away the family's belongings?

"I didn't think of how to make it up at the time. I have to explain why I am alone?"

Li Haitang pursed her lips and entered the City Lord's Mansion. After all, she passed the first checkpoint. As long as she didn't take off her mask, she wouldn't be recognized.

"You have to put your own safety first."

Xiao Lingchuan was very afraid of his wife's impulsiveness. To him, Liusu and Yun Jinghong were outsiders, but the soldiers of the camp in the north of the city could not live without a commander.

"Don't worry, I'm sure."

If she was under the eyes of the city lord, facing a shrewd person, she would definitely show her feet, but the place she went to was a big kitchen, and she was a little cook who made dim sum, so she had no intersection with the city lord.

Not only did they not meet each other, but most of the people in the kitchen were open-mouthed, so she was able to find out the news quickly.

"I'm afraid that if I ask for news, I won't be able to deliver it."

Li Haitang was very troubled by this, because the base couldn't be in the inn all the time, so he had to find someone to deliver the news.

"This is simple, go to a grocery store in the street near the City Lord's Mansion."

Xiao Lingchuan's own people were there, and if there was any danger, he would send someone to deliver a letter to the grocery store, and he would go to rescue people as soon as he got the news.

"Well."

After the couple's discussion was over, Xiao Lingchuan flew out of the window, still quietly, there was no one in the room, as if no one had ever been there.

In the middle of the night, Mrs. Chen walked to the door for a while and listened to the noise.

Although she had made an agreement with Li Haitang, she was not at ease, for fear that Li Haitang's husband would suddenly appear and take him away, and she would find someone to replace her daughter-in-law after all the water from the bamboo basket was empty.

There was no dream all night, Li Haitang slept soundly, but Mrs. Chen was tossing and turning, and she looked better when she saw someone in the morning.

"Godmother, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Li Haitang quickly entered the role and became Xiaohong, the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Chen.

After the two checked out, they went straight to the corner gate of the City Lord's Mansion and asked someone to find the steward.

Li Haitang had seen the steward of the inner courtyard before. The stern-faced woman nodded slightly when she saw Mrs. Chen.

"Boss, you see, I'm a rough girl, and I haven't seen much of the world, why don't you find someone who is more dexterous?"

Mrs. Chen was still a little unwilling to give up, and she didn't want to drag people into the water. She always felt sorry for Li Haitang, but she couldn't help it. She couldn't afford to offend the boss.

"It's her, she looks pretty good to me." The chief steward looked at Li Haitang and nodded. She seemed to be an honest person, and she was introduced by an acquaintance. She needed such a manpower right now, so she could make do with it.
