Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 152 The Inner Ghost
Lu Xiao asked Nian Xia to explain the matter to Gu Yu who was guarding outside, and said to Li Taiwei:

"You asked me to meet yesterday, but there is something else you want to tell me?"

Li Taiwei showed caution when he heard the words, looked around, and then said seriously:

"I have something to tell you about Li Wenxiu..."

"Li Wenxiu?"

Lu Xiao frowned, suddenly remembered something, and said:
"What? Did your father find out something?"

Li Taiwei paused, then lowered his voice and said:
"This person... is the person my uncle placed in the prime minister's residence..."

Lu Xiao paused the hand holding the jade tablet, and said in surprise:
"What did you say? Li Wenxiu is from Xiliang?"

"You... Your eldest uncle is crazy? If this gets out..."

Li Taiwei also sighed and said worriedly:
"I didn't expect my uncle to be able to act like this... He just wrote back a letter to my father a few days ago. Not only did he admit it, but he even wanted to ask my father to give him back the person intact..."

Mrs. Li smiled wryly:
"You said... Maybe this is fate. A person like him... was destined to miss the throne in his previous life, and I'm afraid he won't be able to count on it in this life..."

Lu Xiao frowned and asked:

"What did Xiangye say about this later? Can you accept it?"

Li Taiwei shook his head:
"My father had ordered Li Wenxiu to be guarded a long time ago. He just took care of my uncle's face and hasn't used torture yet..."

"The eldest uncle said in the letter that Li Wenxiu is also a talent, and he should not die in vain. He asked my father to save his life, and he is willing to exchange it with a thousand gold."

Li Taiwei suddenly looked at Lu Xiao, hesitant to speak between his brows:

"My mother doesn't know about this..."

Seeing her expression, Lu Xiao knew that Li Taiwei had no good intentions, so he snorted and asked:
"What? You want me to be this villain?"

Li Taiwei was not polite to him, nodded his head hurriedly, and said earnestly to him:
"You and I both know that this person is not simple, disturbing the court, harboring evil intentions! Maybe he will collude with Beishuo in the future... If he is left behind, it will be a big disaster!"

"Besides, how much effort did you spend searching for this person in your previous life? Didn't you return in vain? Can you swallow this breath?"

Lu Xiao twisted a small piece of candy and threw it into his mouth, turned his face, and sneered at her:
"Say it as if you don't want to kill him..."

"I don't know who in the previous life was looking for this Li Wenxiu and ordered thirty thousand forbidden troops to turn Shengjing City upside down. I thought you planned to coerce the emperor to make the princes and become the empress yourself!"

Li Taiwei immediately rolled his eyes at him, stroked the begonia hairpin in his hair, showed the great dignity of the former princess protecting the country, and said stubbornly:

"What? With my intelligence, if I really have the heart...won't I be the empress?"

Such irony fell into Lu Xiao's ears, and he regarded it as a joke, and looked at her with a light smile:
"Governing the country requires Wentao and Wushu. You have Wentao. Wushu depends on Lao Tzu..."

"If you become an empress, you still can't do without me...I'll do whatever you like..."

As soon as the words were finished, Li Taiwei suddenly looked at Lu Xiao in a daze. She never expected him to say such a thing.

Li Taiwei's face became inexplicably hot for a moment, and he poked his neck and said arrogantly:
"You... what do you mean?"

"My Great Zhou Dynasty is full of talented people...how can I not live without you?"

Lu Xiao suppressed his smile when he heard this, clapped his hands and stood up, making a gesture to leave:
"What the princess said is, about Li Wenxiu, whoever you want to go to... The Great Zhou Dynasty is full of talents, how can you not do without me?"

Li Taiwei grabbed Lu Xiao's sleeve subconsciously, and blurted out:
"But... but when it comes to black hearts, no one can compare to you... This matter is still left to you!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiao froze for a moment, turned around and stared at Li Taiwei, and smiled at her showing his white teeth:

"You just... called me dark-hearted?"

Li Taiwei shuddered, thinking quickly, if she blamed him for killing Luo Shi's mother and son in his previous life, would she be able to survive the turbulent current situation in Shengjing City just based on their friendship as a neighbor? situation……

Before he could figure it out, Li Taiwei suddenly remembered something, hurriedly pulled Lu Xiao to sit down, and said anxiously:
"There is one more thing I forgot to ask you. Why was your righteous brother Sheng Rubai cut into pieces by you in his previous life?"

As expected, Lu Xiao's complexion turned half dark on the spot, and he just gritted his teeth and said:

"What else can it be for? My heart is dark!"

Li Taiwei made him choke for a moment, then pulled his sleeve twice, warning:

"I'm telling you the truth! What did this man do that fell into your hands?"

This coquettish attitude fell into Lu Xiao's eyes, and his heart seemed to be teased, his face eased, and he gave her a helpless look, and said:
"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Li Taiwei thought for a while, then raised her suspicions about Li Yao and Sheng Rubai to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao suddenly raised his eyes and looked over, his expression a little nervous:
"When did it happen?"

Li Taiwei did not expect Lu Xiao to have such a reaction, and said in surprise:

"If the man who met Li Yao in the palace yesterday was really him, the two of them have probably had a private relationship since the day Li Yao ran away from home and was sent back to the mansion by Sheng Rubai..."

"Although there is no evidence at the moment, I still understand Li Yao's temperament... Thinking that this person died tragically at your hands in the previous life, there must be a reason for it... What? What's wrong with this?"

Lu Xiao looked at Li Taiwei with heavy eyes, and said after a while:

"Since the day you and I were reborn, I have asked people to watch Sheng Rubai secretly... If these two people really have a relationship in private, why would I not know about it?"

Li Taiwei's heart skipped a beat:
"Are you suspecting... there is a ghost among your people?"

Lu Xiao's face was slightly cold, and he tapped his fingertips on the armrest of the grand teacher's chair, and he didn't make a sound for a long time...

"Third brother, my sister-in-law said that you have something to ask me..."

Li Pu came in from the outside suddenly, his eyes fell on Lu Xiao's unfriendly expression and Li Taiwei's fingertips clutching his cuff, and he was stunned for a moment.

"You...you..."

Li Pu pointed at the two sitting very close together, with a strange expression on his face.

Li Taiwei came back to his senses, quickly withdrew his hands, got up and greeted her.

"Second brother, why did you come back home...you can have lunch?"

Lu Xiao lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the small folds that Li Taiwei had just made at the corner of his sleeves, and he frowned slightly.

I thought to myself that the old hag had been talking to him for a long time, but why didn't she ask me if I had dinner?
Listening to Li Pu's rambling words, Lu Xiao felt extremely anxious.

Fang wanted to stand up and interrupt them, but Mother Tian walked in from the outside, saluted Li Taiwei, and said solemnly:
"Princess, just now someone came to report that Ying'er was found..."

Li Taiwei and Lu Xiao were stunned, and hurriedly asked:

"How? Where is the person now?"

Mother Tian shook her head with a pale face, and said:
"I was looking for it in the alley behind Xinghua Street. The person has... disappeared..."
