Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 26 Apologize
A few days ago, Lu Xiao was sitting upright in the Golden Luan Hall with the little emperor, majestically being worshiped by all the officials.Unexpectedly, in front of outsiders, he was being chased and beaten by his father with a feather duster!
It's really a turn of events!
But it's okay for others not to know his details, but in front of her, Li Taiwei!How can he bear this?
"Master Xiang! Bingmasi sent someone here..."

Just as Lu Xiao was about to explode, he saw that his father withdrew his hand.

"What? What happened in Shengjing City?"

Lu Hou put down the feather duster in his hand, turned around and asked Li Xiang in surprise.

The Bingma Division is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, so it stands to reason that they shouldn't come to the prime minister's mansion.

Li Sheng raised his eyebrows and put down the teacup.

"Please come in!"

Luo Shi was startled for a moment, got up and stepped forward, blessed his body, smiled slightly and said:

"The concubine has not yet visited the old lady, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is about to come. The mansion has made some mooncakes with lotus seed paste. I don't know if the old lady likes it."

Li Sheng nodded:

"Thank you madam for your kindness."

Turning to Li Taiwei, he said:
"Aluan sent Mrs. Lu there, I have something to say to Marquis Lu."

Li Taiwei felt a little anxious, but did not refute, and saluted Marquis Lu so that Luo Shi could go out together.

"Father, I will go with my aunt to pay my respects to the old lady!"

Seeing that this was wrong, Lu Xiao hurriedly bowed and saluted, and ran out without waiting for Lu Hou's reaction.

Lu Hou hissed with a cold face, but he didn't stop him, a junior came to the door, he really should salute the old lady.

As soon as everyone left, Li Sheng's expression darkened, and he briefly talked to Lu Hou about Zhao He's pregnancy discovery and Fang Taiyi's overturned car yesterday.

Lu Hou's face also turned serious.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Do you think there are still articles in this?"

Lu Xiao's mother also passed away while pregnant. Although it has been more than ten years, this matter has always been a thorn in Lu Qing's heart.

Right now, Princess Showa is having a good time at this moment, but something like this happened to Imperial Physician Fang, but Lu Qing can understand Li Sheng's mood at this time.

Li Sheng's eyes were filled with turmoil, and he said:

"If you can find someone, maybe you can find out one or two, otherwise... it's hard to say."

Lu Qing twirled his beard and nodded.

Fang Tan is the director of the imperial hospital, not to mention how many ladies and nobles in the palace are seen by him, even the princes and nobles outside have many intersections with him.

What's more... There is no conclusive evidence yet, and it is not easy for the Yamen to file a case for a thorough investigation based on only three-point doubts.

"The humble Song Tao sees the Prime Minister!"

The boy led a man in, with big ears, wearing the official uniform of the military commander, and saluted Li Sheng as soon as he entered the door.

"There is Lao Song joining the army, get up and speak."

Song Tao got up, raised his eyes and saw that Lu Hou was there, Fang wanted to bow again but was stopped by Lu Qing raising his hand, and said solemnly:
"You don't need to pay attention to these false etiquettes, let's talk about how the doctor Fang's investigation went?"

Song Tao's face was a little unhappy, and he cupped his hands and said:
"Humble and incompetent, soldiers and horses searched the river downstream for a whole night, but still found nothing. I'm afraid it's a bad luck."

Li Shengrao made a general idea last night, but now he heard Song Tao say this, his heart still sank.

Li Sheng and Lu Qing looked at each other, the lives of his wife and children were at stake, so he had to be cautious.

"The body of the coachman has been examined? Is there any clue?"

Song Tao cupped his hands and said:

"Master Hui, last night it was reported that the autopsy was conducted overnight. It was said that this person drank a lot of alcohol before his death. It is suspected that he was drunk and caused a catastrophe. The case has been handed over to the Jingzhao Mansion early today. , I’m afraid most cases will be closed with this.”

Li Sheng frowned, asked a few more questions, thanked Song Tao, and asked someone to send him out of the mansion himself.

A servant came in to refill hot tea, Li Shengping retreated from the maid, and whispered to Lu Qing again.

In Hua'an Hall, Mrs. Li kept watch in the middle of the night yesterday, and her complexion was not very good when she woke up this morning.Hearing that someone came to the Marquis of Changping, he couldn't help but think of the incident that the Lu family's son bullied Li Taiwei that day, and his eyes turned cold.

"I pay my respects to the old lady!"

Luo Shi just came to the door to give a big gift, and Mrs. Li's expression eased.

Lu Hou realized that his wife died, and he kept his wife's filial piety for three years before bringing in a house of aunts.Now the Changping Marquis Mansion is run by Luo Shi alone, even though he is only a concubine, he is no different from his regular wife. I heard that all the servants in the Marquis Lu's mansion call him "Madam", which shows that Luo Shi is quite valued by Marquis Lu.

Li Taiwei also stepped forward to kowtow to Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li's mood immediately eased a lot.

"You don't need to be so polite, Madam Lu, take your seat, come and serve tea."

Mrs. Li said to Li Taiwei again:
"Is your mother awake? How is your body now? Is there any discomfort?"

Because of yesterday's incident, Li Taiwei's face was a little stiff, but when Mrs. Li asked, in front of outsiders, she naturally couldn't help but answer.

"Going back to grandma, I heard from Nanny Jin that my mother woke up earlier, and her complexion was fine. When she got up in the morning, she took half a bowl of blood swallow, but she was a little tired, and she probably fell asleep again right now."

Mrs. Li nodded, feeling a little relieved.

Roche laughed:

"As soon as I entered the door today, I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion is such a happy event, and the old lady has a golden grandson. What a joy!"

"I was so sleepy during my first pregnancy. My wife is very lucky to be able to eat! I think back when I was pregnant with brother Yuan, I couldn't eat anything, and I suffered from morning sickness. When our brother Yuan was born, he was only the size of a palm. Our wife is a lucky man, and this birth will definitely give the old lady a big fat golden grandson!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li put on a smile on her face, boasting that Luo Shi could speak.

The two chatted and laughed a few words, and then they heard the servant report that Changping's prince had arrived.

Mrs. Li closed her smile and looked over with frowned.

When the maid opened the curtain, she saw Lu Shizi coming in with a huge jar.

Lu Xiao was wearing a lake-blue brocade robe, with a silver crown on his head, and his face was like a jade crown, resembling Pan An, but this attire was somewhat incompatible with that porcelain altar.

Li Taiwei was also taken aback, and moved back cautiously.

Lu Xiao gently put down the porcelain altar under everyone's amazed gaze, saluted Mrs. Li respectfully, and said:
"Lu Xiao pays homage to Mrs. Li!"

"A few days ago, I disturbed the carriage on the house and ran into Princess Chonghua. Today, I came to the house to plead guilty!"

"I heard from the princess that the old lady loves Jinling's sweet-scented osmanthus wine very much, so I went there personally, and happened to catch up with a new pot made by Lao Jinji this year, so I brought it to invite the old lady to try it out!"

Mrs. Li Fang was still frowning, and her eyes lit up when she heard the words.

"Is it Jinling Xiangshui's Lao Jin Ji?"

"I heard that the shop has been closed for a long time, and the descendants of the Jin family have changed their livelihood. How did you get it?"

Lu Xiao smiled slightly, his old face faintly showing the light of a heartless man:

"It's Lao Jinji from Xiangshui County. The Jin family really doesn't make wine anymore. This jar was originally brewed for the family to drink. I got this jar because of my friendship with the descendants of the Jin family. If the old lady drinks By the way, I will order someone to fetch some some other day."

Mrs. Li's brows and eyes widened immediately.

"Okay, it's rare that you have such a heart, you and Sister Wei are good children"

"There is no need to mention what happened that day. In the future, you will treat each other with courtesy and abide by the courtesy. Our two families will still be close."

Mrs. Li's heart is very ironic, she never thought that Sister Wei is usually a careless person, but she is so concerned about her grandmother's preferences, and for a while, she forgot to ask Li Taiwei why he talked about this with Lu Xiao in private thing.

Luo Shi suddenly raised his eyes, and looked at the two with complicated eyes.
