Tibetan beads

Chapter 157
There was movement from downstairs.

Not long after, a maidservant helped a unconscious woman up.

"Second Young Master." She was out of breath, "He brought it here."

Li Da walked over quickly, placed the woman on the soft couch, raised her head again, and stared at her face fascinated.

Li looked at the woman's appearance and turned pale with shock: "Second brother, what are you going to do to Miss Xu? No, she is the fiancee of eldest brother!"

Li Da sneered and asked, "Brother's fiancée? Why don't I remember that they are engaged?"

Li Guan was dumbfounded.It has only been two quarters of an hour since he came out with Li Da, and his whole cognition has been subverted.After being blocked by Li Da, he choked for a long time, and finally said: "So you are so jealous of elder brother, his position as the eldest son, and his fiancée."

"Jealous? Yes! I'm just jealous." Li Da said coldly, "He doesn't have to do anything, these are his from birth. Why?"

Li Guan said as a matter of course: "The elder brother is the only son of the uncle, so he should be the son of the eldest son, so what's the reason?"

This sentence just irritated Li Da, he kicked the table heavily, the vase made a sharp sound when it fell to the ground, and his face was clouded: "Yeah! You see how unfair it is, because he was reincarnated well, so he has everything But I don't believe in this evil, after today, I see how he should do it!"

Li Guan was frightened, and said blankly: "But... we are also reincarnated well! If we were cast into those peasant families, we would have to work in the fields!"

As soon as he said this, Li Da gave him a hard look.

This brat, usually with a clumsy mouth, knows how to tear him down right now.

Seeing his murderous eyes, Li Guan didn't dare to say a word, lowered his head and shrank back.

At this time, footsteps sounded again at the stairway, and a guard came up and said, "Second Young Master, the prince has come out."

Li Da was overjoyed, and asked back, "Did he not doubt it?"

The guard replied: "No, as soon as Miss Xu asked for an invitation, he came directly."

Li Da turned his head to look at "Xu Si", and sneered: "It is said that he is so dignified and self-sufficient, so it turns out that he is so easily deceived by beauty! Okay, hurry up and get ready."

"Yes." The guards went down, Li Da couldn't care about Li Guan any more, and walked to the window, looking at the male guest's banquet place.

……

"Your Majesty." Li Wen heard the voice and realized that it was Jin Ling, his maidservant.

With a gentle expression, he asked, "What's the matter? Didn't I tell you to go and have fun? Why are you back again?"

Meeting his face, Jin Ling's heart trembled.It has been five years since she was sent to the crown prince at the age of 13.

The son came from a noble background, but treated others kindly, and was born with a dignified appearance. Regardless of his status, he was also a first-class son of Dongjiang.

She originally thought that if she came to the prince's side, there would be a high probability that the house would be confiscated.Unexpectedly, five years later, the prince had no such intentions, and the princess even warned him several times.Hearing that before the eldest son gets married, the girl in the mansion has to take care of it, and she is on the match list, so she finally couldn't sit still.

Who is going to be matched?Marrying a servant who runs errands is nothing short of a steward... She was used to someone like Shi Zi, and she couldn't even think about it.But Shizi doesn't mean anything, what can she do?until someone finds it...

"Jinling?" Li Wen frowned slightly, "If you feel unwell, go back earlier and ask a doctor to take a look."

Jin Ling recovered and sighed inwardly.Look, Shi Zi is so considerate, but unfortunately this thoughtfulness will soon become someone else's.

She restrained her mind, smiled, and said softly: "Thank you for your concern, the servant is not uncomfortable, but has something to report."

"Oh?"

Jin Ling lowered her voice: "Just now, the slave girl walked halfway and was stopped by a girl. She said she was from the Nanyuan Governor's Mansion, and she wanted to pass a message for the master."

Li Wen raised his eyebrows in surprise.The maid of Nanyuan Governor's Mansion, the master is naturally Miss Xu's family.

Sure enough, Jin Ling continued: "Your marriage will be settled today. Miss Xu doesn't know what Shi Zi thinks, so please go to Wangjiang Tower to see her."

Li Wen frowned and said, "Why did she say it today? Didn't she have a chance before?"

Jin Ling hurriedly said: "Maybe I just remembered it. The lifelong event is so important to a woman, it is human nature for Miss Xu to feel uneasy."

Li Wen was persuaded, nodded and said: "Okay, you go and call Mr. Xu."

When an unmarried man and woman meet, it is not impolite to have her brother present, and he is very considerate in doing so.

Jin Ling panicked, and hurriedly called out: "My lord, Miss Xu wants to see you alone."

Li Wen looked at her in surprise, as if to say, how could Miss Xu be such an impolite person.

Jin Ling didn't dare to look at him, she lowered her head and said: "I think it's not suitable for people to hear what Miss Xu wants to ask. Even my brother would be embarrassed."

Li Wen stared at her, and asked meaningfully: "Are you sure?"

Jin Ling was flustered, she couldn't hear the meaning behind his words, she nodded indiscriminately: "Yes."

Li Wen smiled and said, "Alright."

He didn't ask any more questions, explained a few words to the left and right, and then left the table.

Jin Ling heaved a sigh of relief and led the way ahead.

When passing by the garden, she suddenly heard the sound of the wind. The next moment, she felt a pain in the back of her neck, her whole body froze, her eyes lost focus, and she fell down.

"My son." The chief guard came over and dragged Jin Ling away.

During the whole process, Li Wen's expression was indifferent, and his eyes did not move.

Yanling came out from the bushes, and said with a smile, "Li Shizi, where are you going?"

Li Wen sighed and asked, "Wangjiang Tower is furnished?"

It was Xu Yin who answered him. She came out immediately and said, "Those people have all entered Wangjiang Tower. If you want to go, there is Longtan and Tiger's Den."

Li Wen nodded: "How many people?"

"More than 50!" Yan Ling replied, "All of them are first-class masters."

Li Wen smiled wryly: "Find so many people to deal with me, my second brother wants my life!"

Yanling's own brothers were friendly, seeing him like this, felt a little sympathetic in his heart, and said, "Don't go, even if you have prepared for it, it would be too dangerous to go in."

Li Wen didn't say anything, he still wanted to go, and wanted to ask Li Da personally, did he really have no brotherhood in his heart?
But Xu Yin's words persuaded him: "Li Shizi, your life and death are related to too many important matters. If there is any accident, what should the prince and princess do? What should the whole Dongjiang do? Li Da is a wolf with ambition, and the third son is like that. No one can be the big one.”

Li Wen thought for a while, but she really couldn't refute her words, so she asked, "If I don't go, who will?"

Yan Ling and Xu Yin looked at each other with a smile, and took out a human skin mask: "Me!"
