Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 472: Courting Death? The Maid's Thoughts Revealed

The next morning, Wan Mei ran to Lu Huaijin, knelt on the ground and begged, "Master, what did I do wrong? You want to drive me away? Since I saved you, please forgive me!"

"Wan Mei, even if you weren't there, the Pavilion Master could have escaped anyway. You don't have to always talk about your life-saving grace! Someone, take her away." The housekeeper began to scold. At this critical juncture, she still didn't know what she had done wrong. The master was merciful by driving her out.

In fact, when Lu Huaijin was being chased, Wan Mei blocked the knife for him. Everyone present knew that even without her, they would not let their master get hurt. Moreover, the killer was some distance away from him and had no time to react. Who knew that she would suddenly appear and block the knife.

The Pavilion Master, mindful of her eagerness to protect his master, immediately invited a famous doctor to treat her and allowed her to recuperate on the farm. Although she was a servant, she was no different from the eldest lady. Even the housekeeper was polite to her on weekdays.

"Master, please don't chase me away." Wan Mei was not giving up. She continued to run to Lu Huaijin and begged, "It's you. You bitch must have said something in front of the Master!" Wan Mei glared at Yao Qingnian.

"What does it have to do with me? Don't bite people randomly!" Yao Qingnian didn't want to take the blame.

"It was you last night. You were the one who threw those disgusting things at me?!"

"So what if it was me?" Yao Qingnian admitted frankly that she was the one who did it.

"Master, you heard everything. She was the one who did what happened last night, not me. I am also a victim."

"Didn't you ask someone to catch these things and put them in my room first? I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine. What do you think, aren't those little cuties funny?!" Yao Qingnian looked at her with amusement.

"I did have a conflict with Miss Shen yesterday, but those were just minor quarrels between girls. Why would Pavilion Master kick me out?" Wan Mei thought that it was because of what happened yesterday and what Yao Qingnian said in front of the Pavilion Master.

"Originally, I allowed you to come to this farm to live out your life in peace and stability because of your loyalty and the fact that you protected me from the knife. But you were still not satisfied and had thoughts that you shouldn't have. Now that I've shown mercy and spared your life, you don't even cherish it?" Lu Huaijin said coldly.

"I...I didn't." Wan Mei shook her head.

"No? I think you won't cry until you see the coffin! Do you think that what you did was not known by anyone? You acted like a mistress in the manor and bullied others. You even put drugs in my soup. Yesterday, you had someone release snakes and insects into Miss Shen's room. Do you think I don't know?"

"What, you drugged the master?! Wan Mei, the master treats you very well, what are you dissatisfied with?! For all these things, it would not be too much even if I take your life! What else do you have to say now?" The housekeeper stared at her in shock.

"Master, that's because... because I admire you, I was confused for a moment and did such a thing." Wan Mei didn't expect that he knew all these things, and she panicked.

It turned out that the night before, she had waited for Lu Huaijin with great difficulty. In order to get him, Wan Mei secretly put the poisonous drug in the bird's nest and tremella soup, and sent it to him after dressing up carefully. Unexpectedly, Lu Huaijin was not tempted by her and directly drove her out. The bowl of sweet soup was placed on the table. Thinking that he would definitely eat it, she waited for the opportunity outside the yard. Unexpectedly, she saw the sweet soup was brought out and poured away by the housekeeper as it was. She thought that the master did not want to eat it, but unexpectedly, he had discovered that she had put the drug in.

"Shut up, come on, tie her up and throw her to the slave market, life and death are decided by fate!" the butler ordered.

"Master, please spare my life!" Wan Mei panicked when she heard that she was going to be sent to the slave market. If she went there, she would never have a chance to turn things around. No, she couldn't go.

"The Pavilion Master gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. You could have packed up your things and left this morning, and the matter would have been over. But you insisted on coming here to die. Who can you blame?!" the butler scolded.

"Pavilion Master... um..."

Soon a servant came over, blocked Wan Mei's mouth, and took her away. The yard became quiet.

Yao Qingnian, Lu Huaijin and others packed their things and got on the carriage back to the capital. The little girl Shi Liu even came to see her off and asked her to come back and play with her when she had time.

After two days of travel, Yao Qingnian and others finally returned to the capital. After returning, she did not go to the Shen Mansion first, but asked Lu Huaijin to take her to the villa to find Shen Nianran.

"I'm back." Yao Qingnian came in and saw several people sitting in the courtyard. He smiled and greeted them, "Uncle Zhou, Sister, Linglong."

"Miss, you have had a hard journey." Zhou Hao sat in a wheelchair. He had gained some weight and his face looked much rosier. He was no longer the sickly and thin man he looked when they first met.

"Uncle Zhou, how are you feeling lately?" Yao Qingnian asked with concern.

"I'm fine! Linglong takes care of me like a treasure. I don't know how many lifetimes of blessing it must have to have a daughter like her." Zhou Hao's eyes were full of happiness when he mentioned Linglong. Thanks to Haitang for giving him such a good daughter. It's a pity that if he could have been born a few years earlier, maybe Haitang wouldn't have gotten into trouble. Thinking of this, his eyes turned red unconsciously.

"Qing Nian, you're back just as we were talking about you. That's great. If we hadn't received the message, we would have sent someone to look for you." When Shen Nianran saw her, he also ran over excitedly, looking her up and down. Seeing that she came back safely, the stone in his heart finally fell.

"Miss!" Linglong came over and knelt down in front of her.

"Linglong, I haven't seen you for just over a month. What are you doing? Why are you kneeling down in front of me?" Yao Qingnian hurriedly helped her up.

"I want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that Miss Nianran was still alive. Thank you for finding her."

"What are you talking about! She is my biological sister, isn't it my duty to find her? We two sisters can meet each other from such a far distance, it must be destined, this is fate, I should be happy, ok, stop crying."

"Miss is right. I will prepare something right away and cook a table of delicious food. We will celebrate tonight." Linglong said happily.

"Okay, go ahead. I have something to say to Nianran." Yao Qingnian nodded.

"Then you guys continue chatting, I'll take my dad out for a walk." Linglong said and pushed Zhou Hao out.
