You are back

Chapter 103 Disrespect
"You know what's true and what's false." Li Yan looked directly at Pei Qing, "My current identity as the eldest lady of the Li family was not arranged by you, but, you already knew it."

Pei Qing's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look around. Chen Yanfeng raised his eyebrows high, and turned to stare at Pei Qing.

"Whether Yushu and I are resurrected from real death or fake death, I am afraid no one knows better than you. You also know the origin of Yushu, right? I can't think of what you want to do, but you probably hope that I can Find out the truth I want to find out, is this Li family from Yuzhang City? What happened to the fire? Why did you not recognize the Li family from Yuzhang after you moved to the capital?"

Facing Li Yan's barrage of questioning, Pei Qing's expression returned to normal, "Since the ancestor's notes say that the old Li Xiangguo in the capital is the direct branch of the Li family in Yuzhang, then there should be nothing wrong."

"Which ancestor? That ancestor?" Chen Yanfeng interrupted suddenly, but Pei Qing ignored him, "I don't know the origin of Yushu, the fire, like you, I only know that it is very strange, nothing else I know, as for why the Li family refused to admit it was the Li family of Yuzhang after they moved to the capital, I don’t know like you, but Li Rui, the eldest son of old Li Xiangguo, once gave a poem to a friend, and mentioned in the preface In a word, it is said that he was born in the old house in Yuzhang. From this, it can be inferred that old Li Xiangguo should know the cause and effect of the fire in the Li family and the relocation to the capital."

After a pause, Pei Qing's eyelids drooped slightly, and he continued: "A few years ago, I saw the ruins outside Yuzhang City. Except for official documents, almost none of Lao Li Xiangguo's pen and ink is left outside. I searched for several years and found nothing, so I threw it away."

Pei Qing raised his head and looked at Li Yan, "If old Li Xiangguo's writings are still alive, these writings should be in this mansion." Pei Qing pointed to a two-story building across the lake from Heshu Pavilion, "There It is one of the libraries of the Li family. It is said that five or six years before Lao Xiangguo left, he often read in that building. The ancestor of your family should know about this."

"You sent me to Li's house to find old Li Xiangguo's pen and ink?" This was Li Yan's first thought.

"No." Pei Qing met Li Yan's gaze calmly, "To me, the current Li Mansion is a no-man's land. I think it would be very easy to turn the Li Mansion upside down by looking for old Li Xiangguo's pen and ink. .”

Chen Yanfeng looked around, nodded his head, and expressed his agreement with Pei Qing's words, this Li family is really in decline.

Li Yan said silently, although these words were arrogant and harsh, they were the truth.

"It's not that I sent you to Li's house. It's that you want to come. I'll help you come back. I also want to know what you asked. Others..." Pei Qing's eyes flickered a little, and his voice lowered, "Can there be?" What? I just don't want to see you unhappy."

Li Yan's heart skipped a beat at his low and vague words. Chen Yanfeng took half a step back, tilted his head towards Pei Qing, looked at Li Yan again, opened his mouth halfway and then closed it.

The three of them stopped talking and were silent for a while. Li Yan raised his chin towards the lake and said, "You just said that it would be easy to turn this house upside down. Then tell me first. If you want to turn this lake upside down, How to flip?"

Chen Yanfeng laughed out loud, and Pei Qing smiled bitterly, "Miss, turning this lake upside down is just a metaphor. We need to turn this lake upside down... A lake like this must be completely cleaned every two or three years. A sludge is barely enough to turn it upside down, but nothing more."

Pei Qing looked at Chen Yanfeng, "Hasn't the lake been cleared of silt for decades?"

"The lake in the Li family does not need to be dredged. Don't you know about this? Oh, yes, it is enough for such trivial matters to be taken care of by a steward. The mansion of the Li family was originally managed by a strange person. The beauty, one of them, is that this lake, first, has running water, and second, it doesn’t need to be dredged, as for what kind of wonderful method, I don’t know, I’ve never heard of it.”

Li Yan was a little disappointed, she didn't need to clear the mud... It seems that there is only one method Yushu said, invite the water ghost, but she doesn't know what to look for, how can the water ghost find it?
Pei Qing glanced at the vague disappointment on Li Yan's face, followed Li Yan's gaze at the lake, and then looked at Li Yan, "What are you looking for?"

"It's nothing, it's just...it's nothing, let's talk about it casually." Li Yan didn't intend to talk more about this matter with Pei Qing, and turned to look at Chen Yanfeng, "How is Zhou Rui? Are you okay?"

"Zhou Rui?" Chen Yanfeng was obviously stunned, as if he had never seen Zhou Rui since he entered the capital. "How is he recently?" Chen Yanfeng turned to ask Pei Qing.

"It seems to be fine. A few days ago, I came to the house to look for you and said that I wanted to find some money for musk. I asked someone to pack a bag for him." Pei Qing looked at Li Yan and answered Chen Yanfeng's words. "I heard that he is currently working in the Huainan Palace and often works with Shao Yu on business."

Li Yan hummed, asked a few more gossips, turned his head and looked eagerly at the water pavilion, Li Qiye, who was wandering around on the shore, took the lead to go back to the shore, "I'm going back."

Although Aunt Su didn't say whether what she did today was in compliance with the rules, but according to the big rules she mentioned, it didn't seem to be in compliance with the rules. Let's leave after talking, so as not to cause trouble to the seventh uncle.

Li Yan stood in the Water Pavilion for a long time and was almost chilled by the cold wind. He took Yushu and Grandma Kong and hurried straight to the Nuan Pavilion.

As soon as he plunged into the Nuan Pavilion, Li Ruo immediately lifted the curtain and entered the Nuan Pavilion.

When Li Ruo came in, she quickly scanned the warm pavilion, and saw that everyone was still admiring the plum blossoms and hadn't come back, but she and Li Yan immediately stopped their smiles and lowered their faces, "I have something to say to big sister, Get back first." Li Ruo looked at Yushu and Nanny Kong and ordered in a cold voice, Yushu didn't move, and Nanny Kong looked at Li Yan.

"I'll have a few words with her." Li Yan signaled Nanny Kong to rest assured, and Nanny Kong responded with a bent knee, and pulled Yushu to the side.

"Uncle Qi sent someone to call you just now. Did he tell you anything?" Li Ruo asked, staring at Li Yan.

"Say it, Pei..." Li Yan paused, and swallowed the Qing that welled up in her throat. She now understands that among peers, calling someone by their first name is equivalent to slapping someone on the face. cannot be exported. "Master Pei Shiqi is still nineteen. I want to see how I am doing and how I look these days after I come back. It's nothing serious."

"You didn't go, it's no big deal to send your mother-in-law a good word. Now that you ran over in person and stood in the water pavilion for a long time, it's not a big deal." Li Ruo looked very annoyed.
