Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 57
Li Rui's eyes flickered, and he looked at Li Taiwei in surprise:

"Powder shop?"

Mrs. Zhao was also a little stunned, puzzled and said:
"Princess... why did you suddenly ask this?"

Zhaohe also put down the teacup, leaned towards Li Taiwei's side, and asked:

"You child, what kind of riddle is this playing with your elder brother?"

Mrs. Li retreated from the serving servants, paused and said:
"Yesterday, Jin Yushi's mansion handed over a post to the concierge, saying that Miss Jin Si invited me to go to the mansion to enjoy flowers. When the servant sent the post, he happened to mention to me that on the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a incense powder shop in the west of the city sent a gift to Biaogu Xue. Here comes some incense."

"I thought that although Cousin Xue had been in Beijing for half a year, she seldom left the house. I didn't hear that there were any handkerchiefs in the middle of the capital. Usually, if she wanted to buy rouge and gouache, she would choose the nearest shop in the south of the city. How could she travel to the west of the city? I still don't know." Famous little shop…”

Li Rui's eyes gradually became serious:
"Third sister said... there is something wrong with this incense?"

Mrs. Zhao took a breath, clutched the handkerchief, and said tightly:

"Princess, it's about father's reputation...this...you can't talk nonsense..."

Even Zhaohe showed surprise, held Li Taiwei's hand, and instructed:
"Aluan, don't mess around, this matter is related to your second uncle's backyard..."

Li Taiwei collected his expression and said seriously:
"It's about the Second Uncle and the Second Aunt, that's why I'm telling you this..."

"Biaogu Xue just received the incense, and the second aunt collapsed that night, but even the imperial doctor couldn't find out the reason! Coincidentally, I met the second uncle again the next day..."

Li Taiwei is a big girl who hasn't left the house, so it's not easy to say this further, so she looks at Li Rui hesitatingly.

"I just think these things are really a coincidence!"

"Biaogu Xue was going to be sent back to the Xue family after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but she stayed on the last day... Besides, the second uncle and the second aunt have a very close relationship, and the second uncle is not a person who doesn't know the importance..."

The more Li Rui heard this, the more he felt chills in his heart.

He had asked someone privately that day, Biaogu Xue used to live in the west wing, but later moved to Beiyuan.

It was said that day that he went to the West Wing to pick up the embroidery shed that had been left behind, and only then did he meet his father... Coincidentally, Mrs. Bai suddenly became seriously ill that day, everything in the begonia was in chaos, and all the maids in the West Wing were temporarily transferred to the South Yuan served in her mother's room, which is why this scandal happened!

When he talked about this with his father, Li Qin was ashamed, but insisted that it was all his fault.

But what if there is a problem with the incense?What if all of this was really designed by Mrs. Xue?What if his father was also kept in the dark?
Li Rui stood up suddenly, his face pale:

"If this is true...then Mrs. Xue... must not stay!"

Zhao grabbed Li Rui's cuff worriedly, and said in a trembling voice:
"Husband, don't be impatient. There is no evidence for this matter. We can't go to Biao Xue's house to search for incense..."

"Besides, it's been a long time. This incense is really problematic. I'm afraid it has been dealt with long ago. Where can we leave evidence for us to find?"

"What's more, the Xue family has already replied yesterday, agreeing to this marriage. Cousin Xue will be carried into the backyard someday... After all, she is the father-in-law's concubine. Husband must not be arrogant and talk about it!"

Zhaohe was also a little flustered, and hurriedly persuaded Li Rui to sit down first:
"This matter is only your third sister's one-sided opinion, and she is only guessing out of thin air and can't count! You must not take it seriously, you should first find out the origin of this incense before it is too late!"

After finishing speaking, he gave Li Taiwei an angry look, and then persuaded Li Rui:
"This matter can be big or small. You hide it in your stomach first. If you don't count it, then let it go. If something is wrong, you should report it to your third uncle as soon as possible..."

"Right now, the Qiutang courtyard is in chaos. Your mother is upset, and your father may not be happy these days. You must not let others know about this. If it spreads, it may cause a lot of trouble. !"

"Brother Pu is still young, right now you and your nephew and daughter-in-law are in charge of the second house, you must not mess around and let people see a joke..."

Li Rui listened to Zhaohe's several points, and then he calmed down, stabilized his mind, and gave Zhaohe a look of peace of mind.

"Third aunt, I can save it!"

Li Rui cupped his hands towards Zhaohe and said:
"Nephew, I'm going to check the shop now. If there is anything to do with my mother, I hope my aunt will take care of it."

Zhaohe couldn't help but look at Li Rui and his wife's front and rear feet out of the hanging flower gate, Zhaohe scowled, and looked at Li Taiwei angrily:

"Aluan come in with me!"

Showa has always been the one who pampered her the most, and there is rarely such a cold-faced moment in my impression.Li Taiwei rubbed his nose, turned around and whispered something to Dafu, then obediently followed Zhaohe into the bedroom.

Mother Tian was outside, not knowing what was going on, she exchanged a glance with Nian Xia, frowned, and was about to go in to persuade her, but she was kicked out by Zhaohe's order.

Li Taiwei closed the door, only she and Zhaohe stood face to face in the room.

Showa just diagnosed twins today, so Li Taiwei naturally didn't dare to be angry with her, and hurriedly brought a plate of snacks from the table and placed it on Showa's dressing table, poured another cup of tea, stepped forward to support Showa's arm, and said shyly:

"Aniang lie down first, don't startle the siblings."

Zhaohe was not really angry with her, but he was afraid that she would get into trouble, so he stretched out his finger, tapped on Li Taiwei's forehead, and reprimanded:
"You——! I'm just spoiled! How can you be so credible about such a big thing? If it gets out, it will be a big deal! Your grandmother will be the first one to blame you!"

Li Taiwei helped her mother half-ly on the Arhat bed, and put a pillow behind her, then sat on the side of the bed, said with a slight smile:

"This matter is related to the reputation of the second uncle. The eldest brother and sister-in-law will not spread it to the outside world, and the grandmother will not know..."

"Besides, how does mother know that I am talking nonsense?"

Showa sat up straight and looked over.

Li Taiwei knew that some things would not be concealed sooner or later, so she told about Tian's mother buying Biyun, Xue's maid, and told Zhaohe about Biyun's words that day.

Showa turned pale when he heard this:
"You actually asked Mother Tian to carry me behind my back? What if something goes wrong? You are a girl, how can you get involved in these things!"

"Mother!"

Li Taiwei said seriously:

"If there is something wrong with this incense, mother really thinks that Mrs. Xue went after the second uncle?"

Zhaohe was stunned, staring at Li Taiwei in a daze.

"In terms of talent, appearance and power, is there anything my father is not better than my second uncle? Besides, Aunt Xue was chosen by my grandmother for my father. If she can take advantage of the loopholes and climb up to my father, isn't the second aunt's situation now that the mother has to bear?" Is it?"

"Mother, think about it, this cousin Xue was able to use this method to climb up to the second uncle on the last day, how could she not have the idea of ​​plotting against my father?"

Zhaohe opened his mouth, but couldn't refute half a sentence for a while.

Li Taiwei slowed down her voice and said:
"Mother's body is not as good as before. I won't tell my mother about some things. I'm afraid she will hurt her heart..."

"It's best to leave this matter to the elder brother to investigate right now. First, we don't intervene in the affairs of the second wife, and second, we do our part for the second aunt. If it really happened to Mrs. Xue, the second aunt can do it too." Take advantage of this to make trouble, and eradicate this scourge early!"

Zhaohe was in a difficult mood, clutching Li Taiwei's hand, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Her A Luan has really grown up...

"Ma'am, Master Xiang sent someone to ask the princess to take Miss Rong Zhi to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, saying that it was to prove it."

Mama Tian said worriedly with the door separated from the outside.

　Thank you for rewarding and recommending monthly tickets,
　　Thank you for your company. Although we can't meet each other through the screen, I feel full of happiness when you are here!
