Chapter 210 Human Skin Mask
Liu Yunniang raised her hand slightly, signaling everyone to stand up.
She left the managers of the front and back yards behind and asked everyone else to leave.
The servants stood up one after another, their eyes full of gratitude and respect, and then retreated in an orderly manner, each going back to continue their work, but they were all full of energy in their hearts.
Liu Yunniang felt a little relieved as she watched everyone leaving.
After all, this general's mansion is not the Liu residence. She was still a little uneasy about taking over the finances rashly. Fortunately, there was Sun Momoy there, and the two managers were also old people in the mansion. Liu Yunniang quickly flipped through the account book and had an idea in her mind.
Although the general's mansion is large, there are not many interpersonal interactions, so no major mistakes have occurred and the account books are all acceptable.
"Thank you for your hard work, both managers. Everything will remain the same from now on. If there is anything that needs my attention, please report it to me. For the rest, just follow the previous handling of the mansion."
Upon hearing this, Steward Zhang and Steward Wang both heaved a sigh of relief. They had long heard that the madam was good at business. Not long after Su Jinge opened, it had already become one of the best shops in the capital.
I thought that the first thing a new official would do upon taking office would be to take over all the household affairs in the mansion, but who knew that the lady did not value power at all.
In other words, this is also the lady's trust in them!
"Yes, everything is up to Madam's orders."
Liu Yunniang nodded slightly, a gentle smile appearing on her face.
"Then you guys go and get busy first. If there's anything important, come back and report it at any time."
The two stewards bowed respectfully and left the room.
Liu Yunniang sat on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief. Yuezhu saw this and hurried forward to serve her tea.
"Madam, you must be tired! Drink some water to moisten your throat first."
Liu Yunniang also felt a little tired at this moment. She took the cup from Yuezhu, took two sips, and put it down.
Seeing that Liu Yunniang looked tired, Nanny Sun said a few simple words and did not stay long before leaving.
Liu Yunniang sat there and rested quietly for a while, but her thoughts drifted away involuntarily.
This is the first time Xiaoxiao has left his side since he got married and moved into the General's Mansion yesterday. Although he knows that she is in the Liu Mansion, he is always worried.
Thinking of this, Liu Yunniang stood up and said to Yuezhu,
"Yuezhu, go make some arrangements and pick up Xiaoxiao from Liu's residence."
Yuezhu replied,
"Yes, ma'am. I'll go right away."
Yuezhu acted quickly and soon took her people to Liu Mansion.
Ye Xiaoxiao, who was in the Liu Mansion, had already known that her mother would come to pick her up today, and had been waiting in the mansion in advance.
Chunxi did not go to Su Jinge today, but stayed in the yard with Ye Xiaoxiao.
When Yuezhu and others arrived at Liu's house, Ye Xiaoxiao had already packed everything.
Because the two mansions were close to each other, it only took a short while for Ye Xiaoxiao to stand in front of the general's mansion.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the magnificent gate and the majestic walls, and a different emotion surged in her heart. If she had felt that everything was new and strange when she first came to the ancient capital, but now looking at the high walls, she actually had an urgent desire to leave this cage.
She got off the carriage and was respectfully welcomed into the mansion by the servants.
Liu Yunniang had been anxiously waiting for her daughter's arrival in the main hall. When she saw Ye Xiaoxiao, a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Xiaoxiao, you're here."
Liu Yunniang walked up quickly and held Ye Xiaoxiao's hand.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at her mother, her eyes full of joy.
"Mother, are you doing well in the General's Mansion?"
Liu Yunniang nodded, but she was reluctant to leave her daughter after only one day of separation. She was afraid that Ye Xiaoxiao would notice her feelings, so she took Ye Xiaoxiao on a tour around the mansion.
"Xiaoxiao, this will be your home in the future, see if you like it."
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the pavilions, towers and beautiful gardens of the general's mansion. Although she felt it was beautiful, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Mother, this place is so beautiful, but..."
Liu Yunniang noticed her daughter's hesitation and asked gently.
"What's wrong, Xiaoxiao? Just tell me what you want to say."
Ye Xiaoxiao bit her lip and mustered up the courage to say,
"Mother, I know you are doing this for my own good. You want me to come to the General's Mansion and live with you. But I think it's better for me to stay in the Liu Mansion."
Liu Yunniang was slightly stunned and a little surprised.
"Why? Xiaoxiao, isn't this place good? Or do you feel it's difficult to stay in the general's mansion?"
Ye Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head.
"Mother, that's not the case. Liu Mansion is my home. There are people I know there. Mother Xu and Chunxi are both there. I can take care of myself in Liu Mansion. Besides, mother, aren't we going to leave the capital soon? Instead of moving around like this, it's better for me to live in Liu Mansion first. Besides, I'll be more comfortable in Liu Mansion."
Liu Yunniang knew that Ye Xiaoxiao was telling the truth, but she still felt a little uncomfortable, fearing that her daughter had been wronged because of her.
"Xiaoxiao, you are my daughter. I just want you to be by my side so that I can feel at ease."
Tears flickered in Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes.
"Mother, I know you love me, but you also know that I study strange things every day. I am used to it in Liu Mansion. Besides, Chunxi is with me. What else are you worried about?"
Liu Yunniang sighed softly. She knew that her daughter had a stubborn personality and once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.
"Okay, since you have made up your mind, I won't force you. But you must take good care of yourself. During the day, if you have nothing to do, you should come to accompany your mother more often. Sun Momo has already asked someone to prepare your room in advance. If you want to stay here, you can do so anytime. Don't think too much about other things."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile on her face.
"Don't worry, mother. I will."
The mother and daughter chatted for a long time, and Ye Xiaoxiao left only after dinner.
Before leaving, Ye Xiaoxiao saw "Xiao Mu" up close for the first time.
She was seen looking up and down at the secret guard wearing the human skin mask, making the man feel a little uncomfortable.
The secret guard secretly groaned in his heart, but could not show it, so he could only try to remain calm.
Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of curiosity. After walking around the secret guard, she asked,
"Do you look like General Xiao?"
The secret guard was slightly startled, then replied respectfully,
"Miss, I am ugly, so I cannot compare with you, General."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and shook her head.
"Your mask is too real! If it weren't real, I would really like to see your true face. Can you take it off and show me?"
what?
What is this requirement?
The secret guard was nervous, but tried to remain calm.
"Miss, this human skin mask is unusual. I am afraid it will scare you."
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't care. She was full of curiosity at the moment. This thing made her look like General Xiao when she wore it. If she could learn it, wouldn't she be able to imitate anyone she wanted?
