"How do our servants know these things?"

The little maid lowered her head and shook her head, knowing well what to say and what not to say.

Li Lingsu got up and left the bed, walked to the table, put his hands on the table, leaned forward, looked down at the little maid in a very aggressive posture, and raised the corner of his mouth:

"A little girl must be obedient and well-behaved to be lovable."

Du Juan's little face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Li Lingsu, and said weakly:

"Just, I just know a little bit. Master, you have to promise not to reveal it, otherwise this slave will be in misery."

My eyes are as bright as stars, my facial features are handsome, and my temperament is extraordinary. Who is a young girl who can resist my charm?

Li Lingsu sighed as if he was feeling cold from the height.

"Don't worry, I won't reveal it."

He promised with a smile.

"The relationship between the eldest lady and the master is naturally very good, but the eldest daughter seems unwilling to marry into the Huangfu family. She has begged the master many times and went on a hunger strike for several days."

Chai Lan was unwilling to marry into the Huangfu family. In order to resist, she even went on a hunger strike. Li Lingsu frowned and thought, "Why didn't Myolie tell me this..."

"Then, what about the relationship between the eldest lady and Chai Xian?" Li Lingsu asked thoughtfully.

"As close as brothers and sisters," Du Juan said.

"Is there any affection between them, um, between men and women?" Li Lingsu asked tentatively.

"Well, how does this slave know?" Du Juan wondered.

He then asked about the relationship between several core members of the Chai family. When asked about the relationship between Chai Xinger and Chai Jianyuan, Du Juan said:

"My aunt and the head of the family had conflicts before."

Li Lingsu squinted his eyes and said calmly: "Oh? Tell me in detail what happened."

Du Juan hesitated and said:

"That happened many years ago. My former uncle's surname was Liu. The Liu family and the Chai family were family friends. Later, the Liu family fell into decline. My uncle married into the Chai family. Later, my uncle encountered an accident when he and the head of the family were out and he did not survive.

return.

"But I heard that there seems to be an inside story about my uncle's death. My aunt had a big quarrel with the head of the family."

She paused and did not continue.

Speaking of this, it was already over the line, and even her maid didn't know the details.

Is there something strange about the death of Xing'er's ex-husband? Well, during the time when she and I were getting along, how come I never heard of Li Lingsu frowning secretly.

He immediately figured out that of course no one would mention his aunt's ex-husband in front of him, Aunt Chai's new love.

"Thank you Miss Dujuan for telling me!"

Li Lingsu smiled as warmly as a central air conditioner, making the little maid feel comfortable and rosy in the cold winter months.

After sending the maid named Du Juan away, Li Lingsu returned to the room, fell on the bed, and tried to grasp the truth of the incident in the chaotic fog.

Chai Lan doesn't want to marry into the Huangfu family. If I were Chai Xian, wouldn't I just elope with him?

How did Xing'er's ex-husband die? It seems to be related to Chai Jianyuan? Otherwise, why would the two of them have such a big fight? In addition to being the biggest beneficiary, she has another motive for murder.

Li Lingsu sighed, turned over and sat up, planning to go to the inn and tell Xu Qian the news.

"Really, I can definitely investigate on my own. Although Xu Qian has a high level of cultivation, it doesn't mean he can investigate cases. Who does he think he is, Xu Qian?"

Li Lingsu muttered, but did not give up the idea of ​​reporting the news to the bad old man.

Beijing, Xu Mansion.

In the inner hall where the charcoal fire was burning, my aunt peeled an orange in her hand and said:

"In a few days, when you go to the palace, you must be polite and well-behaved. You must not let the wives and female relatives of the palace look down upon you. Do you understand?"

While speaking, she raised her head, looked away from the oranges, and looked at the little girl next to her who was eagerly waiting to eat the oranges.

"I am talking about you!"

Auntie said angrily: "I know how to eat all day long. Sooner or later, I will send you to Si Tianjian to learn art."

Today she wore a jacket with embroidered cloud patterns, paired with a dark pleated long skirt, and her exquisite bun was decorated with hostas and golden steps. She was dignified and beautiful. At first glance, she looked very wealthy.

The style of a woman.

Of course, anyone who knows Auntie well knows that she is an embroidered pillow.

"Okay, okay, then I can play with Sister Caiwei."

Xu Lingyin, who wore her hair in a boy bun, said happily.

What she really wants to say is that Sister Caiwei has a lot of money and can always buy all kinds of delicious food.

But she is no longer the Xu Lingyin she used to be. Now, now she is

"Mom, how old am I now?"

Xu Lingyin asked loudly.

The aunt ignored her and turned to Xu Lingyue and said:

"But you can't be bullied. You know, in a wealthy family like Wangfu, none of the ladies in it are easy to get along with. You have a weak temper, and you won't say anything if you are bullied.

"If you are bullied, just go to Simu. In short, you have to use your discretion and know if you know. By the way, the eldest son of the palace and the second son of the prince are about the same age as Lingyin. The most troublesome among the children is that they can't explain clearly.

The truth is, don’t let the ringtone break people’s minds.”

Xu Lingyue said "hmm": "I understand, mother."

Xu Erlang and Miss Wang are getting engaged, and some etiquette is required between the two families. As the matron of the family, my aunt must not show up casually, as it is not in line with her status.

Therefore, the communication between the female family members was left to the sisters Lingyue and Suzin.

But my aunt was worried. She thought that she was a wonderful woman with a combination of beauty and intelligence. Except for giving birth to a promising Erlang, her remaining two daughters were far from satisfactory.

Xu Lingyue is too weak and a soft-spoken doormat, while Xu Lingyin is not very smart and is a naive and stupid girl.

The aunt was afraid that they would be bullied by the Wang family if they went to the palace.

This is not an unfounded worry of my aunt. A wealthy family like the Wang Mansion has a strong sense of superiority. When a young lady from the Wang family marries Erlang, she is completely marrying down. How much can the female members of the Wang family think highly of the Xu family?

Although it is not a shameful thing, I think there will be a lot of beatings hidden in the cotton wool.

With Xu Lingyue’s weak temperament

"well!"

Auntie sighed, hating that iron could not become steel.

She stopped thinking about these nonsense and complained: "That Yang Qianhuan, after all, I met your elder brother. I wrote to him and asked Si Tianjian to accept Lingyin as his disciple, but he didn't reply for a long time.

"

Xu Lingyue peeled the orange and said, "Mom, Si Tianjian has already given you a reply. I forgot to tell you about the letter I received yesterday."

Auntie's eyes lit up and she was surprised: "What did Si Tianjian say?"

Xu Lingyue said in a soft voice: "Senior Brother Yang said that Lingyin is extremely talented and cannot be taught by him. He introduced Lingyin to Jianzheng, but Jianzheng ignored him and even refused to let him go to the Bagua stage."

It turns out it’s because Suzune is extremely talented!

Auntie felt much better. After thinking about it, she thought it would be better to let her practice with Lina first.

To this day, my aunt has given up on the idea of ​​starting a lady from a baby, and is looking forward to Erlang and Miss Wang getting married soon and giving her a granddaughter.

The account I raised is useless, so I can only look forward to the trumpet account raised by my son.

Thinking of this, my aunt showed some relief:

"Simu is very talented and smart. Although she is a woman, she is well-read in poetry and books. Erlang is also a promising scholar. Their children will definitely be smart in the future."

As she spoke, she raised her hand, and on her snow-white and slender wrists was a pair of emerald green bracelets.

"This bracelet was given to me by your father when I married him. He said it was passed down by your grandmother. My mother-in-law passed away early and could not pass it on to her daughter-in-law in person, so she entrusted the bracelet to him for future generations.

When you get married, give it to your daughter-in-law with your own hands."

The aunt remembered her youth for a moment and said with a smile: "From now on, I will pass it on to Simu. Well, I will only give it to one, and the remaining one will be given to the elder man's wife."

"Wow! So beautiful."

Xu Lingyin stretched out her chubby little hand: "Mom, show me, show me."

The aunt still doted on the little girl. She took off the bracelet and handed it over, warning: "Be careful, don't break it."

Just as he was talking, Xu Pingzhi entered the inner hall holding his armor and a sword at his waist.

Xu Pingzhi is now the sword guard Qianhu, with a high position and great power. He has become a new noble among the five guards in the capital. Although he does not have a title, ordinary nobles must treat him with respect when they see him.

Auntie sniffed it, frowned and said, "Why did you buy green tangerines again? There are sweet ones at home."

"I like eating sour food lately."

The nephew and son were not around, so Xu Pingzhi kept his face open and told lies.
