Wan Huhou's pupils shrank, his eyes darkened as he looked at her, he thought for a moment and then said, "I have nothing to talk about with you."
Tang Miaoxin was not too surprised by his answer.
She folded her hands in front of her chest and said lightly with eyes: "That's it, then I'll talk to Mrs. Li."
Marquis Wanhu: "..."
She is so direct!
Tang Miaoxin looked at Mrs. Li: "Madam, do you want to live?"
Of course Ms. Li wants to live. A shallow and selfish person like her would cherish life the most.
Li Shi glanced at Tang Miaoxin with some suspicion: "We are the people the emperor personally ordered to kill, and you can't save me at all!"
Tang Miaoxin said disapprovingly: "Since I can come in silently, do you think it is difficult to take you away silently?"
Ning Guzhou glanced at Tang Miaoxin and saw that she was calm and calm at this time, with bright and confident peach blossom eyes.
Only he knew that her words were actually false, because he was taking care of everything.
But if she really wants to save Mr. Li, he will help her.
It is not an exaggeration to describe the relationship between Li's Tang Miaoxin as water and fire, but no matter how bad the previous relationship was, it would be a trivial matter in the face of life and death.
Li asked in a deep voice: "Why do you want to save me?"
Tang Miaoxin smiled: "Madam, you may have made a mistake. I am not saving you, but making a deal with you."
"As long as you tell me everything you know, I can rescue you."
Li was very moved: "Why should I trust you?"
Tang Miaoxin smiled: "You can tell me half of the news first. After I rescue you, you can tell me the other half."
Mrs. Li became even more excited. Wanhu stood by and said, "Ms. Li, you can't say it! If you do, you will die immediately!"
Li said coldly: "Are we going to die soon? We are all on death row. We are all going to die anyway, so we might as well fight for it!"
Wan Huhou: "..."
His expression was very ugly, because what Li said was basically the truth.
Li looked at Tang Miaoxin: "What do you want to know? Just tell me directly and I will tell you the truth."
Tang Miaoxin praised her: "I just like Madam's neat temperament!"
"I want to know what kind of person my mother was back then. Which of the men in Beijing was she closer to?"
She knew that Mr. Li was unlikely to directly tell her what happened back then, so she asked in a different way.
As long as she knows the people who were close to Su Ling'er back then, she can find out more information about Su Ling'er.
Although Mrs. Li had guessed before that Tang Miaoxin came to her to ask about Su Ling'er, her question directly brought her back seventeen years ago.
Li still remembers the first time she met Su Ling'er:
At that time, the Li family was still in its heyday, and she was still a woman spoiled by her parents. She had just been married to Wan Huhou for four years and had already given birth to a pair of lovely children.
Wan Huhou went out and drank for more than ten nights with Emperor Cheng Ming, who had not yet ascended the throne, and her anger was aroused.
At that time, Emperor Cheng Ming did not have the majesty of the emperor he does today. He was just an ordinary prince, so she was not afraid of Emperor Cheng Ming back then.
That night she broke into their wine shop with a few maids and boys.
The moment she entered, a woman in a snow-colored feathered coat jumped down from the high platform, with petals flying all around, as beautiful as a fairy in a fairyland.
Mrs. Li was stunned at that time, not to mention the four men sitting in the audience.
She originally went to make trouble, but after seeing Su Ling'er, she gave up her intention to make trouble, which made her feel ashamed.
It wasn't until she later learned that Su Ling'er was not someone's daughter, but an oiran from a brothel, that she realized the crisis again.
What surprised her the most was that among the four young masters, Wan Huhou, who seemed the least likely to get a beauty, actually took Su Ling'er as his concubine.
When Su Ling'er entered the Houfu, she was far less energetic than when she first met her, and her whole person was filled with unspeakable sadness.
At that time, Wanhu Hou ran into Su Ling'er's room every day, making her aware of the huge crisis.
At that time, Mrs. Li often tried various ways to embarrass Su Ling'er, and once wanted to kill her, but she suffered a big loss at the hands of Su Ling'er.
After this back and forth, the two of them developed a deep hatred.
At least in Li's mind, she only wanted to kill Su Ling'er.
Tang Miaoxin's voice brought back Li's thoughts: "Madam, what are you thinking about?"
There was a bit of ferocity in Mrs. Li's eyes, and she sneered: "Your mother was the oiran of a brothel back then."
"There is no young man in the entire capital who would not bow down to her!"
"If she is close to anyone, it's really no one, because she is close to every man."
If Tang Miaoxin didn't know that Su Ling'er was the eldest lady of the First City and a person as noble as a princess, she might still believe it.
But after she learned about Su Ling'er's life experience and knew that Su Ling'er plotted against Li to protect her, she knew that these words were Li's slander.
She said quietly: "Madam is so insincere and bent on seeking death, we don't have to talk anymore."
She turned around to leave, and Mrs. Li suddenly realized that now her and Tang Miaoxin's identities had been swapped, and it was she who was begging for Tang Miaoxin.
Mrs. Li doesn't want to die, she just wants to leave this hellish place as soon as possible!
She immediately said: "Although your mother has many ministers under her skirt, there are five people who are extremely close to her."
Tang Miaoxin asked: "Which five people?"
Li Shi smiled: "Of course the first one is Marquis Wanhu. Back then he was willing to abandon his wife and children for your mother!"
Tang Miaoxin didn't want to hear her nonsense: "Who else?"
Li replied: "There is also the brilliant scholar who was the number one scholar back then, who is now the chief of staff of the Imperial College, Cheng Lixue!"
Tang Miao was a little surprised. Cheng Lixue and Su Ling'er had a good relationship back then?
She and Su Ling'er looked at least 70% similar, and Cheng Lixue recognized her as Su Ling'er's daughter the first time she and Cheng Lixue met.
It's just that he didn't teach her a single lesson after he accepted her as his disciple, and he still thought of ways to trick her every day. What on earth did he want to do?
Could he be her father?
When she thought of this possibility, her body trembled unconsciously.
She also felt that this possibility was unlikely. If Cheng Lixue was her father, their relationship during this period would have been too cold.
She asked again: "Besides them, who else?"
Li didn't know what she was thinking of, and her expression became subtle: "You don't want to use these clues to find your biological father, right?"
Tang Miaoxin thought Li was stupid and poisonous before, but she didn't expect that she would be smart again at this time.
Mrs. Li laughed when she saw Tang Miaoxin's expression: "It seems that I guessed it!"
"Actually, I'm also very curious about who your biological father is, but I know it's definitely not Tang Zhennan!"
