Li Xiaoyao was silent for a moment and then changed the topic: "How long has your grandma been like this?"

"It's been like this since my death." Aunt Wu said, wiping her tears.

"Have you seen any children in a while?"

"Grandma came in here, and the young master came here once, and it was the same."

"Is this also the case across the railing?"

"yes."

Li Xiaoyao frowned and thought for a moment and asked, "Does she usually love her children?"

"How can a mother not love her children? The young master is grandma's lifeblood."

Li Xiaoyao breathed out: "That's good, she can't go on like this, otherwise, she will be so heartbroken that there will be no difference between life and death. You go back and tell your master to find a way to open the joints and bring the child to

Go to the inner room, go every day, let the children hold her, pester her, call her, cry to her."

"The young master is ill. He said he was afraid that she would be worried and would not tell her." Mother Wu said in a low voice.

Li Xiaoyao sighed: "If she feels that the child can live well without her and has no worries, naturally she only wants to die quickly. If the child is sick, she should give it to her and let her look after the child.

Sickness, seeing the child in pain, seeing the child crying, seeing if she, a mother, can still be so heartbroken."

Mother Wu blinked her eyes and nodded in agreement: "Thank you for your advice, miss. I will tell the master and his wife when I get back that I will bring the young master over tomorrow."

The car stopped behind a side gate of a garden, and Li Xiaoyao got into another car. A girl with a pretty and cheerful face was sitting on her knees in the corner of the car. When she saw Li Xiaoyao coming up, she leaned over to greet him with a clear voice.

Introducing herself like a silver bell: "This slave is Xuan Qing, a first-class maid in the second master Shui's courtyard of Jingjiang Marquis Mansion. I am serving the girl to change her clothes at my command."

Li Xiaoyao looked at Xuan Qing carefully and nodded with a smile. Xuan Qing walked over a few steps and waited on Li Xiaoyao. He took off his dress and changed into a light red brocade pipa-sleeved short jacket and a plain white one.

pleated skirt, opened the dowry box again, moved behind Li Xiaoyao, helped her spread her hair, and combed her hair into a double bun again, took a very small string of gauze flowers from the dowry box, and put it on her two

On the bun.

Just after packing up, the car paused and stopped, the curtains were raised, Li Xiaoyao jumped out of the car and went to the back of a large car with bright paint and a dark blue brocade skirt.

Shui Yan was sitting cross-legged in a corner of the car. When he saw Li Xiaoyao coming up, he smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that Mrs. Shen is taking her children to perform rituals at Kaibao Temple at the moment. Let's pretend to be a girl because I have wronged the Fifth Master."

"You're welcome, Mr. Shui." Li Xiaoyao responded, turning around and seeing the warm cup placed on the front panel of the car: "I'm thirsty, so you're welcome." After saying that, he went to help himself.

Cup, pour a cup of tea.

Shui Yan raised his hand to signal her to help herself. He watched Li Xiaoyao drink the tea in the cup in one breath, poured another cup and drank it slowly before asking: "I heard from Qimei that she happened to meet you."

Already?"

"Well, the Seventh Lady is ice-snowy and very smart, and she is very attractive." Li Xiaoyao said politely.

Shui Yan sighed helplessly: "She has a close relationship with cousin Shuitong. Ever since this happened, she has come to pester me almost every day. If I have a way, how can I not help? Alas!"

Li Xiaoyao looked at him and didn't answer. She had read the file, carefully read it seven or eight times, and Shui Tong had also read it. There was only one way to try to get rid of this heinous crime of death.

, just wait until you see Mr. Shen before talking.

Li Xiaoyao didn't answer, and Shui Yan didn't say anything more. One of them closed his eyes and meditated, while the other held a cup and leaned against the pillow, lost in thought.

After a while, the car stopped, and Shui Yan motioned to Li Xiaoyao to get out of the car first.

Xuan Qing was already standing by the car, waiting with her hands down. Li Xiaoyao quickly stood next to Xuan Qing, imitating her to stand with her hands down. Shui Yan got out of the car, and the boy led him forward. The four of them entered the side door and walked along the high wall.

Take the small road next to it and go all the way to the Ksitigarbha Hall where Shen did his rituals.

There was a young novice monk standing at the back of the Ksitigarbha Hall. He saw Shui Yan and his entourage coming from a distance. He clasped his hands together and greeted them from afar, then turned around and walked back through the hall.

Several people arrived at the back of the hall. The young man opened the door and went in to look around. Then he turned around and stood by the door. Xuan Qing stood guard outside the hall. Li Xiaoyao followed Shui Yan into the back hall of the Dizang Hall.

There was a melodious and peaceful sound of chanting in front of the hall, with wooden fish and cymbals, and Li Xiaoyao walked to the edge of the unusually thick curtain, lifted up a crack in the curtain, and quietly looked out.

This position must have been arranged in advance. When I looked over, I happened to see Mrs. Shen, who was dressed in filial piety and sitting on the futon with her eyes downcast.

On the futon next to Shen, there was a little boy of two or three years old leaning crookedly, his head and shoulders squeezed in Shen's arms, his fat fingers tightly grasping Shen's sleeves, kowtowing and tapping his head.

Li Xiaoyao looked away from the child and looked at Mr. Shen carefully.

Different from Shuitong's refreshing and generous appearance, Shen has slender shoulders, slender waist, white and greasy skin, oval face, pointed jaw, and a pair of long willow eyebrows, which makes her look soft-hearted, and her whole person is extremely soft and charming.

As if she felt someone was watching her, Shen suddenly raised her head and looked towards Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao hurriedly took half a step back, gently lowered the curtain, and signaled Shui Yan to take a look.

The three of them exited the back hall with brisk steps, went out the side door and got into the car.

Li Xiaoyao sat in the car, exhaled a long breath, looked at Shui Yan and said with emotion: "This Chen Zhongliang is very lucky. These two, Chunlan Qiuju, are both good at each other, and they are both so smart. He

I am so blessed that I cannot bear the kindness of this beauty."

Shui Yan smiled bitterly after hearing this.

Li Xiaoyao looked at Shui Yan and continued: "There is only one way to do this. Maybe we can give it a try. Let me think about it more. When will the decision be finalized?"

"After the Double Ninth Festival, we can no longer delay. This case must be settled."

"Well, please tell me about the situation in Chen Zhongliang's family and the Chen clan."

"Okay, that's easy." Shui Yan agreed hurriedly: "I'll take the fifth master back home first."

Li Xiaoyao changed cars twice, put on his long gown, and went directly back to Liushu Hutong.

The next day, as soon as Li Xiaoyao entered the Prince's Academy, Nanning stepped forward with a smile and informed Li Xiaoyao: "I have granted you the title of Prince of Liang."

Li Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows.

Su Ziyi defeated Beining and granted him the title of King of Ning. Su Zicheng now granted the title of Prince of Liang. It seems that the Beiping Kingdom has no rule of granting the title of king or vassalage.

Two or three days later, Shui Yan came over and told Li Xiaoyao about the situation in the Chen family and the Chen clan: "...Chen Zhongliang's parents have passed away and he has no brothers. Several of his sisters are married, and there is not much at home.

In the clan, Chen Zhongliang is the only flagpole of the Chen family in Qingzhou, so it’s nothing.”

Li Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, there is no need to worry too much about the Chen family.

Shui Yan frowned, looked at Li Xiaoyao and continued: "What you said last time about the Guo family's retreat, I really can't think of anything that can be changed. The military, state and court are all big things. Apart from this, Guo

There was really nothing that the Queen and the Guo family could not ask for. The only thing was that the third master had been weak since he was a child. Queen Guo once mentioned to the emperor that she wanted the third master to follow Master Lu and work hard to strengthen his muscles. Later, Master Lu returned

Without Xinyang, this matter will be settled..."

"This is feasible!" Li Xiaoyao interrupted Shui Yan in surprise.

Shui Yan frowned even more and was about to open his mouth to explain.

Li Xiaoyao waved his hands and said, "I know what you mean. I'll go tell the prince about this... I have a way to get the best of both worlds." As Li Xiaoyao spoke, he jumped off the bed neatly: "I'll do it now.

Go, you come too."

The young man standing at the door of the main room passed the message. Shui Yan and Li Xiaoyao opened the curtain and went in. They saw the ceremony and sat down. Li Xiaoyao said with a smile: "I just heard from Mr. Shui that the third prince is weak, and the emperor wants him to

Follow Master Lu to strengthen his muscles and strengthen his body. I heard from Lu Feng that Lu Hua, the eldest son of the Lu family, will be able to go to Kaiping Mansion in the twelfth lunar month. I heard that Lu Hua’s kung fu is very good and he is better than his master. It’s just right, so I might as well ask Lu Hua to replace his ancestor.

Teaching skills is also the filial piety one should fulfill as a son of man."

Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyao quietly, waiting for her to continue.

Li Xiaoyao paused, seeing Su Zicheng looking at her but not saying anything. The situation was not sold, so he had to continue: "It's just that Lu Hua is the direct eldest son of the Heavenly Master. He must not stay in Kaiping Mansion for too long. The third prince

Naturally, there is no reason to go to Xinyang to practice martial arts. I think it is better to let Lu Feng stay and teach the third prince. They are all the direct grandsons of Master Lu, so there is no difference."

"Lu Feng?" Shui Yan looked puzzled at Li Xiaoyao, who kept laughing, and Su Zicheng, who had a strange expression on his face.

He had met Lu Feng several times. He had a handsome personality, elegant manners, and well-spoken words. Although he didn't know what Lu Feng's temperament was like, how could he be so different from the Celestial Master's family?

Su Zicheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, wanting to laugh but holding back, holding back and wanting to laugh again.

With Lao San's temperament, it would be good to follow Lu Feng...

Su Zicheng let go of his hand, looked at Li Xiaoyao and suppressed a smile and said: "What you said is that this is the filial piety we should fulfill for the son of man. I will discuss it with my eldest brother later. You go back and restrain Lu Feng. Don't let anything happen...

Anyway, restrain him."

Shui Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, but for a moment he couldn't figure out why Lu Feng, who had such an outstanding character, should be restrained.

In the blink of an eye, it was only a few days before the Double Ninth Festival. Li Zongliang sent someone back with a letter and wanted to go home for the festival. Mrs. Fan was very busy preparing all kinds of things for the festival. The Double Ninth Festival is a big festival and there is no room for carelessness.

Li Xiaoyao got up early and rushed to the front yard. Together with Lu Feng, they hid in the attic of the foyer and watched the prisoner officers who came to sign in.

Just after Maozheng, there were two prisoner officers with disheveled hair and thick eye mucus at the corners of their eyes. Their robes were stuffed into their belts at the front and back. Their clothes were stained with unknown things. They just entered the courtyard gate, and they were so far apart.

The fishy smell rushed over my face.

Lu Feng pinched his nose and introduced in a low voice: "These two work as busboys in the fish market. Look, it looks like that, right?"

Li Xiaoyao didn't seem to hear Lu Feng's words and only looked at the two of them intently. It didn't take long to stay in this abalone restaurant. Just ten days would be enough.

In less than half an hour, people were almost done with the signing. Near Chenzheng, Liu Mingyi stood for a moment at the gate with a swollen face and a gloomy expression, leaning on a wooden stick. When Zhang Gouzi saw him, he didn't say a word, leaning on
Chapter completed!
