Chapter 203 Personal Maid Amei
"Xiaodie, listen to me."
Lu Chenhe raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally placed it on the little girl's head and stroked it gently: "I know you are worried about Uncle Ding and me... But, things like fighting are better taught to us men. Since ancient times, men have gone to the battlefield. You just rest assured and take care of everyone with Xingluo and wait for us to come back."
"But there have always been Mulans who joined the army..."
Ding Xiaodie really wanted to go, because only she knew that although she looked like a twelve-year-old girl on the surface, her heart was actually an experienced female criminal police officer.
Although she had never been on the battlefield, she believed that she would be useful.
But she didn't expect that before she could finish her words, Yun Liu, who was waiting impatiently, actually walked straight up behind her and slapped her on the back of the neck...
The opponent came too fast, and Ding Xiaodie fainted with her eyes closed before she could react.
Lu Chenhe quickly embraced her in his arms, a hint of anger on his face: "Yun Liu, how could you?"
"Hey, big brother, we're going to rescue our adoptive father this time, so we definitely won't let Xiaodie go with us. If that's the case, why don't you just knock her out and leave it at that, instead of wasting time talking nonsense."
What Yun Liu said makes sense.
only……
Lu Chenhe placed Xiaodie under a big tree with a calm and handsome face, and nodded to Lu Xingluo, "Xingluo, protect her."
Lu Xingluo nodded with a worried look on his face: "Brother, you must return safely. We are waiting for you in Wuming Village."
…
When Ding Xiaodie woke up again, she found that the scenery in her sight was receding step by step. She was startled and her eyes widened: "Where are we going?"
"Xiaodie, sleep a little longer. We are on our way to Wuming Village." Lu Xingluo forced a comforting smile.
It was then that Ding Xiaodie realized that she was actually sitting in a unicycle, and it was Lu Xingluo who was pushing her.
The second young master took the lead, pushing her slowly. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and his jade-like face was misted with a blush. But he did not complain at all, but was so determined and unyielding.
"Second Young Master, Eldest Young Master and the others?"
This matter couldn't be known to others. Ding Xiaodie sat up and looked at the long line of people following behind them. Her mood instantly fell into the abyss.
It seems that Lu Chenhe and the others have already set off.
As expected, Lu Xingluo nodded silently.
“Stop.”
A mist rose in Ding Xiaodie's eyes.
"Xiaodie, don't."
Fearing that her stubborn temper would flare up again, Lu Xingluo lowered his voice and said, "No, you can't catch up with them anyway!"
Ding Xiaodie lowered her eyes dejectedly: "I know. Please let me get off and give the car to the children or the elderly."
“…”
Finally, under the scorching sun, the team of nearly a hundred people, including the Lu family, young and old, finally arrived at Wuming Village at a slow pace.
By the time each household had settled down, it was almost evening.
Because it was just a short stay, they had to eat the meat brought by each family. As for water, they had to get it from the person specially designated to take care of it in the village.
In short, in this dry weather, as soon as the sun sets, mosquitoes appear as if they want to suck people dry.
So having a house to block mosquitoes is better than having no house at all.
Who would have thought that just when we had taken a break, something happened at the Lu family.
This time, Mrs. Lu had several personal maids and nannies around her. Some of them brought clothes and bedding for her, and some were responsible for the food and drink of their Lu family.
There is only one special personal maid, who is the person Mrs. Lu trusts the most besides Qiuju.
My main task is to help Mrs. Lu keep her valuable jewelry.
As for the gold, silver and banknotes in the family, they are all kept by Uncle Jiu, the chief steward. He is also in charge of the accounts and finances. In short, the three of them belong to the same department.
Even if someone wants to embezzle something, it is difficult to do so.
The only thing missing is the management of jewelry.
It's not a big deal at home on weekdays, but there are many potential dangers along the way.
But Mrs. Lu still uses the same management method as when she was in the Lu Mansion.
Look, that girl named Amei who was in charge of managing the jewels, actually ran away with all those jewels!
"Run away?"
When Ding Xiaodie heard that something happened to the Lu family, she hurried to their house to ask and was shocked when she learned what she had learned.
Ah Mei looked honest and simple. It was said that she was a beggar when she was young. Mrs. Lu saw her on the street and couldn't bear to see her, so she took her home and raised her.
Now that I have lived in the Lu family for more than ten years, I can be said to be a member of the Lu family.
But she didn't know how to repay the kindness, and ran away with the jewels out of greed.
Lu Xingluo's expression was speechless: "Yes, I didn't expect the human heart to be so unpredictable."
When he was in the Lu Mansion, he felt like he was born in a honey pot. Now that he has come out and experienced this, he has seen through the world and human nature.
Ding Xiaodie hated seeing him frown, so she encouraged him, "Go ask the others when was the last time they saw Ah Mei?"
In the room, Mrs. Lu was silent with a haggard face.
This incident was the biggest blow to her.
She was already very anxious because Mr. Lu didn't come back on time, and now A-Mei is taking advantage of him.
I have to say that this kind of thing will have a greater impact on the simpler people.
Lu Xingluo is like this, and his mother is not much better. The previous Mrs. Lu was also protected too well by Master Lu.
Now when I think about the fact that Ah Mei, the person I raised, actually did such a thing, my whole world view collapsed and I was speechless for a long time.
Heartbroken Qiuju wiped her tears and walked out of the house: "Second Young Master, I asked the other servants, and they said they saw Amei before entering the village. I guess that bitch must have made her plan when she entered the village."
"If that's the case, will she continue along the official road to Wo County?"
Ding Xiaodie looked at Lu Xingluo.
At this time, Dabao and Erbao, who had almost settled the affairs of the village, also came to inquire about the situation.
There was no smile on the faces of his two brothers these two days.
They were also worried about their father, but they could only endure it silently.
Ding Xiaodie glanced at them and naturally couldn't bear to tell them that Uncle Lai Fu and the others had been captured and sent into exile.
If this matter were to get out, Dabao and Erbao would be heartbroken, let alone his 90-year-old ancestor.
So, let’s continue talking about Amei!
Lu Xingluo had already sent two guards: "Go along the official road. It's getting dark. Ah Mei is timid. Besides, with her speed, she probably can't walk more than two miles."
The two guards were loyal to their master, and one of them asked, "Master, what are you going to do with A-Mei? Are you going to kill her on the spot?"
"No."
Before Lu Xingluo agreed, Madam Lu inside choked up and said, "Let her go. Just let her go on her own."
