Liuli ate a large bowl and added more to the bottom of the bowl. Xiao Zhen even finished three bowls in a row.

"It's actually more delicious than the royal meal." Xiao Zhen said in disbelief.

"Jiulang is hungry." Liuli smiled, "Didn't you hear what others said? When you are hungry, eating bran is as sweet as honey, but when you are full, eating honey is not as sweet."

"No, no." Xiao Zhen shook his head seriously, "It really tastes good."

"Ingredients don't use too many tricks, but they lose their true flavor. Moreover, you can eat them coarsely, and you can eat them carefully."

Food can soothe people's soul. No matter how many things Liuli has in her heart and how many mountains she is burdened with, she is relaxed and happy at this moment. With her like this, Xiao Zhen is far away from the palace, government affairs and those overt and covert attacks, so why not

The same thing? The two of them suddenly felt close to each other over a meal.

But the atmosphere was getting warm, and the people at the table next to them were talking louder and louder, and they couldn't help but get into their ears. Listening carefully, they heard that the topic actually turned to her, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Eleven.

The group of people seemed to be business travelers, ranging in age. Seven or eight people shared a large table, including a middle-aged woman who was definitely a man. She must have been excited about eating and drinking enough, and her speech gradually started to change.

No taboos.

One of the young men looked in the direction of the sea and said, "Those big ships have been anchored at the anchorage for a long time, why haven't they been unloaded? I can't wait. I wish I could swim over there and have a look."

"Young men are just impatient. If you dare to get close to that ship, you are seeking death." The female man said with a sisterly air, "After the imperial court lifted the ban, this is the first batch of ships coming from overseas. We have to wait for the government to give us permission."

We can't move until we get the official customs clearance documents. Besides, we have to wait for all the princes and ministers in Tokyo to go around before it's our turn."

"What's your turn?" said a middle-aged man with two moustaches. "The ship is full of rare and imported items. It's a huge profit when they change hands. You don't even have to look at it. Whoever grabs it at that time will get it. Whoever grabs it will get it."

What. Boy, you look like you are new to the Tao. This shopping mall is no weaker than the battlefield, but this time there are more wolves and less meat."

The young junior scratched his head irritably, "This is the only major event for our country this year, right? The government is still dragging its feet?"

"Who said this is the only major event in Zhao Kingdom this year?" The female man's eyes suddenly lit up.

Women, no matter whether the skin they wear is that of a man or a little white flower, the nature of gossip is the same.

"You mean Miss Shui from the Cao Gang came to Beijing?" the rat-bearded man asked.

"What big deal is that?" said a fat man, with a hint of ridicule, "Second Sister-in-law Sun is a woman after all, and she always keeps an eye on the affairs between men and women..."

The female man named Sun Ersao sighed and didn't say anything. The person next to her, wearing a short jacket and pulling her shirt to reveal her chest and arms, with a very informal appearance, took over the words, "Don't say it, it's been spread around Tokyo.

The most exciting thing is what’s happening with Miss Shui! Only those of us who do business really pay attention to the exchange of seafood."

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" The young man spoke with a southern accent and seemed a little ignorant.

The fat man said, "It's just that Miss Shui is restless and Hongxing is cheating on her."

After hearing this, the young man said "Ah" and seemed very surprised. It happened to cover Liuli's coughing.

Xiao Jiu's face sank, but just as he was about to stand up, Liuli grabbed him and whispered, "Don't worry, rumors only stop with wise men. I'm curious, what are the people outside planning for me?"

A man who was silent at first and looked like a cashier said, "If we talk about Miss Shui, we have to talk about Shui Shiqiao, the leader of the Cao Gang. She is a young hero, but it's a pity that she is not from the main wife."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a mysterious look on his face that was about to reveal the secret. He really looked like a storyteller rather than a businessman.

With his tone and expression, even those who knew the life experiences of the Dianshui brothers and sisters were stunned and fell silent for a moment.

Xiao Zhen took a peek at Liuli and saw that her expression was almost indifferent, as if what she wanted to say had nothing to do with her, so he felt relieved.

"The old leader of the former Shui clan was named Shui Quan. His direct wife, Ling, followed him when he was young. She was fierce and martial. She joined forces with Shui Quan and fought countless river battles, and even jumped into the rapids of the river.

"We fished out the seriously injured Gang Leader Shui Quan, and it can be said that we have shared life and death with Shui Quan. However, I don't know if the killing was too much, but she never gave birth to a son and a half for the old gang leader Shui." Mr. Accountant added.

"A woman who is too aggressive is really not able to have children." Sister-in-law Sun interjected, "Miss Huo from the northwest married someone like the Marquis of Ning'an. She managed to get pregnant, but didn't she die in childbirth in the end?"

With a click, the bamboo chopsticks held in Liuli's hands broke, and the sharp fracture pierced her palms, causing blood to flow out.

Xiao Zhen looked at the people at the table and was surprised when he heard the sound, but Liuli reacted very quickly and threw away the chopsticks in time. He moved his injured hand under the table, made a fist to cover up the wound, and said with an embarrassed smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I'd rather

I couldn't bear to hear such a tragic incident, so I knocked my chopsticks away."

Xiao Zhen didn't pay much attention and continued to listen to those people talking, silently remembering their appearance in his heart. If they really said something particularly outrageous, they would have to be punished for the crime of slander.

These people are completely unaware of this, or else they are just talking about it.

Liuli, on the other hand, was trying hard to control herself not to tremble with anger. She thought it was just her gossip, but she never thought it would involve her relatives!

The fingers were connected to the heart, and the new wound was very painful, and it was probably a prick. But no matter how painful it was, it couldn't compare to the heart-breaking feeling she felt. My sister was obviously murdered, so how could she bring it on herself in the end? She deserves to be so unlucky?!

My sister killed someone on the battlefield, against the enemy! It was to protect the northwest border of Zhao and the people of Ning'an County. For this reason, she spent the most precious youth time for a woman! When others

The woman was full of tender happiness, waiting to marry her husband, but she was galloping on the battlefield in the wind and snow! When she put down her body, washed her hands and made soup for a useless scholar, she was killed.

One body and two lives. Who has saved more people than my sister, and who is more gentle and kind than my sister?

But why, when these things are heard by ignorant people, the facts have changed? How can black and white be so reversed between heaven and earth? If my sister had a spirit in heaven, would she feel cold and unwilling! But she didn’t allow it! She didn’t allow her sister to die like this.

Unjust! She wants to use those shameless people to destroy her sister's innocence!

She tried hard to maintain a superficial calm, and tried her best to ignore the bleeding in her heart. But the anger and pain were so strong that they occupied her entire mind, so that she, who was always sensitive, did not feel the attention of a certain man.

The man seemed to have drunk too much. He was sitting on the table near the window in the restaurant, where he could see what was going on outside. However, he had been lying on the table, and no one could see his handsome face. But the beauty on his body

The coarse cloth clothes and the long hair combed randomly on his head accentuate his tall figure and broad shoulders.

His eyes fell on Liuli's hand hanging under the table. There were traces of blood dripping into the dust, but no blood was visible.

"Xiao Liuli, where have these untouchables poked your heart?" He muttered to himself, slightly frowning, and it turned out to be Xiao Yu.

"Don't go astray, tell me about the leader of the Shui Gang." The young man's eyes were bright, and his face showed admiration when he mentioned Shui Shiqiao, as if he had never heard the detailed story of the young gang leader's victory over the throne.

The accountant took a sip of wine, smacked his lips, and finally said, "Men, there are three ways to be unfilial, and the worst is to have no heirs. The old gang leader Shui has reached the age of forty, and his knees are still empty. How can he not be anxious? However,

There is a Hedong lion in the family, and they are very kind to each other. Although having no children is a violation of the rule of seven births, he has no words to divorce his wife, but Jianghu people are loyal, how can he get another wife? Even if he pays

Concubine, I don’t dare to do that.”

"Then the leader of the Water Gang..." the young student asked anxiously.

"It was born from the aunt of the old gang leader Shui." The fat man couldn't help but interjected, "You can't let other women in the house, isn't it also possible to live outside? To say that the aunt is quite worthy, not only did she give birth to such a capable woman,

A few years later, his son gave birth to the beautiful Miss Shui. However, the Ling family was too strong and refused to let the mother and son in. The old gang leader Shui had no choice but to raise the three children outside until he died. The Ling family

He was quite ruthless, and even committed suicide as an undertaker. Before he died, he called the gang elders and allowed Gang Leader Shui, who was only thirteen years old at the time, to take over."

"Lao Gang leader Shui may have bad luck in his destiny, and the women around him are also tough-minded. You just say that the Ling family is ruthless, and that Shi family is also very proud. When her son takes over the throne, she is still living in seclusion in the countryside. Shui

The old gang leader didn't let her in when he was alive, and she didn't care about her after she died!" Mr. Accountant said, "So far, I heard that very few people have seen Mrs. Shi."

"My... mother..." Liuli whispered, stuttering, because she almost called out the word "Aunt Shi", "She is not my father's wife, she just encountered water bandits and was rescued by my father. She

She gave birth to us brothers and sisters to repay her kindness, and she rarely has any contact with the Cao Gang... Auntie is not who they say she is." In fact, she didn't need to explain, but today, she really couldn't stand the people around her being slandered and slandered by the world again.

misunderstanding.

Aunt Shi was originally the daughter of a scholarly family. She and Shui Quan were already close to each other because they rescued each other in the water. At that time, her whole family died, so she simply gave up her life to give birth to a son for Shui Quan. She never thought about getting involved in other people's families.

, Ling refused even though she sincerely asked. After giving birth to Shitou, she never saw Shuiquan again. The girl she replaced, Shitou's sister, was actually an abandoned baby, the same age as her, but at the age of seven

Luojiang drowned. Originally, he had no blood relationship with Gang Leader Shui Lao, but no outsiders knew about it.

Her nominal father, Shui Quan, is a tough man. Although her aunt, Ling, is fierce, she is a sensible person. Aunt Shi repays her kindness, but she does not take credit for her son, let alone be greedy for wealth. The three people of the previous generation were all from the common people.

He has the most noble character. Otherwise, with Shitou's arrogance, how could he be willing to take over this mess after the sudden death of the old gang leader Shui?
