Chapter 606 The Butler
To know about the general's family affairs, in this huge protector general's mansion, only one or two of the general's confidants and guards know about it, and it is impossible for others to know.
"You are waiting here."
"Many thanks to Butler Duan," Su Jin saluted, and then said after a little consideration: "The little lady has an unkind request. Can Butler Duan report this matter to the general in person? In order to avoid any misunderstandings that may be caused by spreading the word."
Butler Duan hummed softly, ignored her, and turned away.
Is not this nonsensical? Few people know about the general's family affairs at all, and there is no need for people to know about it. It is about the general's family affairs, so he naturally won't ask people to spread the word, and naturally he will report to the general himself.
As soon as Butler Duan left, Mei Niang slumped on the chair, trembling all over, tears streaming down her face.
Su Jin sighed inwardly when he saw this, and hurriedly advised: "Sister Mei, don't cry, it's a good thing, your family is finally reunited, you should be happy."
Mei Niang quickly wiped away her tears and nodded: "You are right, you are right, I, I just feel like a dream. Sister Su, am I dreaming?"
"It's not a dream, it's real!" Su Jin shook her hand.
At this moment, Duan Fu was discussing matters with the two lieutenants in the study. Outside the courtyard of the study, Liu Wanwan was waiting there.
The study center, Liu Wanwan is not qualified to enter.
Once she pretended to be foolish and stupefied once, but Duan Fu was very annoyed and invited her out on the spot. Liu Wanwan, who was crying pitifully, repeatedly admitted her mistakes and apologized, saying that she only cared about Big Brother Duan and wanted to accompany Big Brother Duan to help him do whatever he could, and did not deliberately break into the study.
But since then, she never dared to break in and never went in again. What General Duan said in front of Mei Niang before can't write official documents without her researching ink. This is all a lie that she put gold on her face.
But every time Duan Fu entered the study, she would wait outside the yard, waiting for Duan Fu to come out, so as to express her concern.
Anyway, Duan Fu does not spend more than five days in the mansion a month, so doing so will not tire her.
She always thought that she expressed her sincerity so that as time went on, Brother Duan would definitely be moved, and he would definitely be allowed to enter the study.
She knew very well that as long as he was willing to let himself into the study, he would treat her as his own. At that time, she was the upright mistress of the general's mansion, not the unknown concubine as she is now.
Even at the beginning, General Duan wanted to send her away and arrange her properly. It was she who finally cried and fought for it to stay.
Joke, what better place to put it than the General Protectorate? Besides, General Duan was young and powerful, and he was so tall and handsome.
What's even better is that his family is all dead, his wife and children are also dead, marrying him, she can enjoy the glory of a lifetime in comfort and wanton.
She won't leave unless she's stupid.
No accident, butler Duan saw Liu Wanwan's figure again outside the yard of the study, and couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth with a look of disdain.
This woman's thoughts of climbing high branches were clearly written on her face, and he was very disdainful in his heart.
Although Wushui City is open-minded and not as particular as in the Central Plains, what does an unmarried girl look like in the General’s Mansion with a stubborn face?
She had the idea of getting the moon first, but it has been nearly two years, and the general has not given her a second look. Has she not counted yet?
General didn't drive her away, but just treated her like a subordinate in the manor, with a shelter. She was very rude, and she acted like a mistress every day, which was really disgusting.
Liu Wanwan greeted Steward Duan with a smile on her face.
But the tone of greeting is vague, but with a two-point attitude of being the mistress of the house to greet the big housekeeper in the house, people can't pick out the fault, but they feel uncomfortable.
Butler Duan smiled: "Miss Liu really works hard!"
said Bi walked into the yard with big strides.
The position of the two in Duan Fu's mind is clear at a glance.
Liu Wanwan still had a gentle smile, but her palms were tightly clenched. When she became the general's wife, the first thing she did was to replace this very ignorant housekeeper.
Now the border is fairly peaceful. Although there are turbulent storms and changes in power among several large tribes on the grassland, it has not affected Wushui City.
Therefore, there are no important military affairs. The most talked about by the generals recently is the training of recruits.
Therefore, Steward Duan dared to come in and disturb him.
After all, the general has always been brooding about his deceased family members and regretted them in his life. Since the two women could say such things, it can be seen that they are more or less related to the general's family. This matter is important and it is not easy to delay.
The two lieutenants saw Steward Duan coming, knowing that there was something important, so they left with a smile.
Duan Fu didn't leave the two of them, but only said that he wanted to stay in the mansion for two days this time, and let them return to the military camp tomorrow.
After the two left, Steward Duan reported what Su Jin said to Duan Fu.
Duan Fu's face changed suddenly, "Follow me to meet them!"
Regardless of their origins, he always had to ask them clearly.
He even had a little excitement and anticipation in his heart. Could it be that they have news about Mei Niang and the child? Did Mei Niang and her child not die?
More than two years ago, he sent his confidant and personal guard back to his hometown, but the news was that his mother died of illness, and Mei Niang and his son, whom he had never met, were washed away by the flood and disappeared.
At that time, he was extremely sad, he only felt that he was the most pitiful and desolate person in this world, alone, without any blood relatives.
But deep down in my heart, there is still a hint of hope, what if? What if a miracle happens?
At this time, the flower hall was busy.
Liu Wanwan brought seven or eight male servants with him, and stepped forward to grab Mei Niang and Su Jin, insisting that they were swindlers, and threw them out of the house.
Besides, Liu Wanwan saw Steward Duan enter the study, and soon the two lieutenants said goodbye and left, and Liu Wanwan also left.
Big Brother Duan is also so confused for some reason, preferring to trust the dead old man more than her.
As long as the dead old man is there, she has almost no sense of existence.
So very interesting, Steward Duan went in, and she simply left.
Besides, she was also a little uneasy. I don't know why Tsui Er went to follow Mrs. Na Mei for so long and didn't come back. I don't know if something happened.
When she was in a state of restlessness, she accidentally heard that there were guests coming to the mansion. She asked casually, and when she learned that it was the two ladies, she had a bad premonition in her heart.
She quietly peeked out the window, and when she saw Mei Niang's complexion suddenly changed, thinking of Butler Duan hurriedly looking for Big Brother Duan, she gritted her teeth even more angrily.
At this time, she can't care about anything else. She can't mobilize the guards in the palace, but many servants listen to her.
