Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 144 Guess
Li Yao had a private meeting with a man in the palace?
Li Taiwei was taken aback when he heard this, his eyes lit up faintly:

"Can you see who it is?"

Xiangling shook her head, trying to recall:

"It's too far away, and the man is half hidden in a corner, so I can't see clearly... I just vaguely see a tall guard wearing silver armor..."

Silver Armor?

Then they are not from the Jinwu Guard...

But there are thousands of guards in the palace, who exactly did Li Yao go to see?

Thinking of Li Yao's abnormality these days, Li Taiwei couldn't help thinking carefully.

First, she quietly handed over a letter to ask someone from the Bai family to pick her up, then she flattered her grandmother and eldest aunt, and today she begged Mrs. Zhao to take her into the palace...

Mrs. Li frowned slightly:
"Young Mistress...didn't ask about Fourth Sister when you came back?"

It's related to Li Yao's reputation, no matter who she met in private, if it gets out, the second room is in such a situation now, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for her to marry in the future...

Xiangling hurriedly said:

"The eldest young lady asked in a low voice on the way back, but the fourth girl refused to say anything..."

"I just went back to the mansion, and before the eldest young lady mentioned this matter again, the fourth girl locked herself in the room, and she refused to see anyone. The eldest young lady was afraid that the fourth young lady would be forced to do something bad, so she didn't dare to force her way in." , ask the servant to come and tell the princess, do you want to report this to the old lady?"

Ah!Against her!

Li Taiwei sullenly, was about to reprimand a few words, but suddenly remembered something!

Li Yao seldom goes out of the mansion, not to mention the guards, even the handkerchiefs are handed in. But half a month ago, she went out of the mansion privately because she was going to give birth to her mother, Bai Shi, and it was Sheng Rubai who gave it to her. she sent it back
That Sheng Rubai seems to be working in the military department at the moment, and he is willing to join the army. Could it be him who is wearing the silver armor today?

Thinking about it this way, Li Taiwei felt more and more credible in his heart!

But Sheng Rubai died tragically in Lu Xiao's hands for some reason in his previous life, and he may not be safe in this life. If Li Yao gets involved with this person, nothing good will come of him!
Li Taiwei thought for a while, and said to Xiangling:
"Let's put this matter on hold for now, don't talk about it with grandma, don't tell my sister-in-law to be a bad person in the future"

"Tomorrow my second cousin Xiumu, when he returns home, I'll talk to him first and tell him to go in private and ask fourth sister about the situation."

Hearing this, Xiangling's expression became much looser, and she hurriedly saluted Li Taiwei and said:

"The Princess is right! The second young master and the fourth young lady have always been brothers and sisters, so it is definitely more appropriate than our eldest young mistress."

After receiving her gift, Li Taiwei ordered:
"At the fourth girl's end, you still have to take care of your sister-in-law, and she must be put in jail! Send a few more women to guard the yard, so don't let her have the troubles of last time."

"Also. Send a few able-bodied men to watch in the dark. The Fourth Younger Sister can't happen to meet that guard today. Someone must have passed the news these days."

When Xiang Ling heard this, her face turned pale with fright.

"The princess means that the fourth girl is with someone else." Secretly giving and receiving?
After all, Xiangling was a servant girl, so she didn't dare to continue speaking, she hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and bowed her head in silence.

Nian Xia just opened the curtain and came in. Seeing that Xiang Ling's face was not looking well, she hesitated and went forward to salute:
"Princess, my aunt just sent someone here, please go to Yanyu Building to talk."

Li Taiwei was a little surprised, how could the eldest aunt look for her at this hour?Thinking about it again, I'm afraid it was probably because of today's selection of the Jinwu Guard, so I asked Nian Xia to comb her hair again, and went to the Yanyu Building.

Li Shu finished making tea and waited in the small flower hall, when she saw Li Taiwei coming, she smiled.

"Miss Wei, come and sit down."

Li Taiwei stepped forward to salute, and sat down opposite Li Shu with her skirt corners pulled back.

Li Shu handed a cup of brewed Maojian tea to Li Taiwei, and said with a smile:

"This tea was sent by your eldest cousin a few days ago. He said that the errands were done well. His Royal Highness personally rewarded you. You should try it."

Li Taiwei didn't dare to refuse, took a small sip and praised a few times.

Li Shu smiled even wider and asked:

"You went to the palace today, have you ever seen your cousin?"

Li Taiwei shook his head and said:
"Cousin didn't run for election today, and I didn't meet him this trip to the palace."

Li Shu was surprised for a moment, frowned and asked:

"He never ran?"

Li Taiwei thought for a while, Ming Cheng is average in martial arts, if she participated in the election today, she might not be able to survive a few rounds, but her eldest aunt has a bit of face, she didn't go to the palace today, probably because she was afraid that she would make peace with King Fenyang The matter caused Mingcheng to be criticized in public.

Li Taiwei cleared his mind and said:
"Perhaps it is because His Royal Highness ordered the other errands for my cousin, so I had no choice but to miss it. My cousin has already entered the Jinwu Guard, and this election is just a formality, so don't worry about it, Auntie."

Li Shu nodded, thinking about the same reason, she couldn't help turning her head to ask Li Taiwei:
"Which son took the top spot today?"

Li Taiwei said truthfully:

"It's Lu Shizi of the Marquis of Changping."

Li Shu's eyes paused, and her face became a little dignified:

"It's him?"

Taking a closer look at Li Taiwei who was sitting opposite, she saw that she was calm, not as blushing as she was when she mentioned her sweetheart, Li Shu couldn't sit still, she held the handkerchief and said tentatively:
"Sister Wei, what do you think of your cousin?"

Li Taiwei immediately keenly caught the deep meaning in Li Shu's eyes, thought for a moment before saying:
"My cousin has a good temper and is a rare gentleman."

When Li Shu heard this, her eyes lit up:
"Sister Wei is willing."

"aunt!"

Before Li Shu finished speaking, Li Taiwei interrupted her.

Li Taiwei looked at the eldest aunt frankly, and said without hesitation:
"Is my aunt interested in A Luan? Or is she interested in the power behind A Luan?"

Li Shu didn't expect that Li Taiwei could break through this layer in person, so she asked directly, her face flushed in shock, she opened her mouth, and said with some embarrassment:
"Naturally yes"

"If my aunt had a crush on A Luan, then when my cousin got engaged to a girl from another family, my aunt shouldn't have agreed."

Li Taiwei still didn't give Li Shu a chance to continue, she calmly said,
"If my aunt is planning for the future of my eldest cousin, then there is no need to point to the level of marriage. My cousin must be fully supported by my Li family! Don't say that my father is obliged to take care of my nephew, even A Luan will definitely help my cousin. brother to take back his rightful position of power.”

"As for the others, it's better not to worry too much about the eldest aunt. They all say that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Cousin is young and promising, with a clear mind. In the future, he will be able to marry a happy family."

Li Shu stared blankly at Li Taiwei's demeanor without anger and prestige, she couldn't connect the naughty and spoiled little princess in childhood with the noble girl in front of her.

She took a deep breath, and finally couldn't say anything.

After drinking a cup of tea, Li Taiwei got up and said goodbye to Li Shu.

Just after leaving the Misty Rain Tower, a maid walked towards Li Taiwei and bowed to Li Taiwei:
"Princess, Miss Si invites you to the Begonia Courtyard"
