Chapter 229: Being Rejected at the Manor Gate
Following Leng Xian's instructions, Liu Da rushed to Banshan Manor to pick up Leng Rongyue.
He came out late, so naturally he arrived late too.
In the mid-afternoon, Liu Dacai drove a horse-drawn carriage to the Banshan Manor.
When he arrived here, Leng Rongyue had already left Banshan Manor and went to Banshan County with Qingyi and a few others.
Liu Da drove the carriage all the way to the Banshan Manor.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the biggest possibility was that he would make a wasted trip...
No, it’s definitely a wasted trip!
However, he had to make this trip because he had received the order from above.
When they arrived at the gate of Banshan Manor, Liu Da stopped the carriage.
Looking at the plaque "Banshan Manor" on the door, he knew that it was written by the Duke himself.
Looking at the plaque and then at the gate, Liu Da couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
But now that he was there, he couldn't just turn his horse around and run all the way back.
No matter what, I have to ask to see the eldest lady and get a definite answer so that I can report back!
Liu Da walked forward and knocked on the door.
The servants on duty at the door had already received instructions from the two ladies.
At this time, two servants were sitting in the gatehouse drinking tea, waiting for someone from Marquis Qinxing's Mansion to come!
Hearing the knocks on the door outside, the two looked at each other, curled their lips at each other, and refilled the tea in their cups.
I heard the voices outside the door shouting, "Please open the door!
Is there anyone at the door?
Please open the door!
I am a servant of Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion, and I am here on the Marquis’s orders to ask to see the eldest lady!
Please open the door or pass the message!
......"
Liu shouted countless times before he heard the sound of footsteps coming from inside.
Liu Da stopped knocking on the door and just stood quietly outside, listening and waiting.
There was a clang from the inside of the door... probably the sound of the bolt being removed;
With a creak, the door opened a crack, and a servant leaned half of his body out to look outside.
When he saw Liu Da, he looked him up and down, and then looked at the emblem on the carriage behind him...
"From the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion?" asked the servant at the door.
"That's right! I am from the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion!
I am here to ask to see our eldest lady!" Liu Da replied quickly.
"Seeking to see the young lady?
Our eldest lady just arrived at Banshan Manor, and people from your Qinxing Marquis Mansion came to ask for a meeting right after. They really don't let us have peace!
Tell me, what is the matter that brings you here to see the young lady?"
Liu Da saw that the servant inside the door was talking to him through the crack in the door, and had no intention of opening the door to let him in to meet the young lady. Liu Da didn't dare to force his way in, so he had to continue talking in a friendly manner.
"It's just that the eldest lady just left the Marquis' Mansion and something happened in the Mansion.
Therefore, the Marquis asked me to come and pick up the young lady!"
"Um?
From what you said, the trouble in your mansion was caused by our eldest lady's departure?" The servant narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Da and said.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!
I just said that after my eldest daughter was taken away by your two ladies, something happened in our mansion..."
"Oh I see!
You mean to say that when something happened in your mansion, not only our eldest daughter is responsible, but also the two ladies of our Duke's Mansion are responsible?"
Before Liu Da could finish his words, the servant interrupted him!
"Ouch! That's not what I meant!
I am just discussing the matter at hand and explaining the situation.
How dare I say that our eldest lady and the two ladies of the Duke’s Mansion are responsible…”
"So what you mean is not that our eldest lady and the two ladies have no responsibility, but that you dare not say that our eldest lady and the two ladies of the Duke's Mansion have responsibility, right?" Liu Da's words were blocked again!
Liu Da was wailing in his heart!
Oh my God!
Doesn’t this boy understand what people say?
Still can't speak human language?
Or you still don’t allow people to speak human language?
He keeps twisting his neck around like that, isn't he afraid of making himself dizzy?
But right now, he was standing in the Banshan Manor, which was the territory of the Anguo Mansion.
Whether he came to ask for an audience with the eldest lady, or the marquis had his eyes on the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, to put it bluntly, they all came to ask for help.
The situation is better than people.
Liu Da knew that the Marquis of Qinxing's Mansion was not even close to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion;
As a servant of Marquis Qinxing's Mansion, I am no match for the servants of Duke Anguo's Mansion.
What's more, he came to ask for an audience with the eldest lady;
And the Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion is in such a predicament now!
How could I, a servant of Marquis Qinxing's Mansion, have the confidence to be so arrogant?
Liu Da had no choice but to bow his head and apologize with a smile, "My dear brother, I can't speak.
But, what the younger one said doesn’t have that much meaning!
I just want to say that something happened in our Marquis' Mansion, and the Marquis sent me to pick up the eldest lady and bring her back to the mansion. He has something to discuss with her.
Please go and inform them that Liu Da from Marquis Qinxing's mansion wants to see the eldest lady."
The servant at the door began to look Liu Da up, down, left, and right several times, and then the door closed with a bang.
With a "bang", the bolt was inserted.
Liu Da was dumbfounded outside the door. What did this mean?
At this moment, an impatient voice came from the door, "Wait!"
Then I listened to the slow, tapping footsteps fading away until they could no longer be heard.
Liu Da looked at the tightly closed black lacquered door in front of him...uh...there was nothing he could do, so he had to swallow his anger and wait.
One stick of incense passed, and then another stick of incense passed...
Liu Da’s waist and legs are sore from standing so long!
He simply sat down on the steps outside the Mid-Mountain Manor.
With my back against the door, I stretched my legs and waited! Waited!
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Liu Da's heart felt like it was on fire.
Thinking that it was getting late, if I rushed all the way back to the capital, I might not even be able to enter the city gate!
Just as Liu Da was about to stand up and knock on the door again, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from inside...
The boy is finally back!
Liu Da was waiting anxiously!
He also didn't know how big this manor halfway up the mountain was.
How long does it take to walk from the front door to see the master?
But at this moment, I finally heard a noise from the door.
Liu Da stared at the two doors with a glimmer of hope.
