Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Chapter 408 Turn your elbows outward
Prime Minister's Mansion

"Master." The housekeeper walked quickly to the courtyard, looked around and saw no one else, leaned over and said something in Prime Minister Yun's ear.

Prime Minister Yun was startled, the hand holding the chess piece froze, and he frowned and asked, "Did you hear that correctly?"

The housekeeper nodded, lowered his voice and said, "It is indeed a gift from the Young Madam of the Lian family. I opened it specially and checked it. There is a luminous pearl as big as a fist in the box."

"At least..." the butler pursed his lips and spread his palms, "it must be worth this amount."

Prime Minister Yun frowned, put down the chess piece, and murmured, "The young lady of the Lian family...isn't she the legitimate lady of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion?"

The housekeeper nodded repeatedly and whispered, "Yes, it's her."

"What kind of gift did she give me?" Prime Minister Yun couldn't figure it out, so he simply waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Back off, who knows what she is pretending to be thinking."

"This..." The butler looked embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Master, I'm afraid this gift cannot be withdrawn."

Prime Minister Yun raised his head, looking puzzled, "Why?"

The housekeeper shrank his neck and whispered, "When the old slave was unpacking the gift box, he happened to meet the madam returning home... She liked it, so she took it..."

Prime Minister Yun slapped the table and stood up, and the chess pieces on the table trembled, "Nonsense! You have long hair and short knowledge!"

The housekeeper bent down and cautiously advised, "Master, please calm down..."

"...Go and send someone to keep an eye on the Yongcheng Hou Mansion and the Lian Family. If there is any trouble, get back to me immediately!" Prime Minister Yun frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "By the way, I want to return the favor to Xie Wanzhou, so as not to attract any attention. "

"Yes."

Lian's new house
There was a sound of smashing in the house, and the servants in the yard looked at each other, not daring to breathe.

Lian Yan happened to be back, and as soon as he stepped into the yard, he heard the quarrel between a man and a woman in the house.

Lian Yan paused on the spot and stood with his hands behind his back, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Yunting beside him also looked confused. He raised his hand to call the maid in the yard and asked in a low voice, "Why is there a man's voice in there?"

The girl lowered her head, bowed to Lian Yan, and then whispered, "Master Xie came to the house. He said he came to see the young lady, but for some reason, he didn't stay long before he started to quarrel."

Lian Yan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Xie Li?"

Before the little maid could nod, the door of the room was opened with great force. Xie Li had a cold face before crossing the threshold and saw Lian Yan standing in the courtyard.

Xie Li paused, then his face became a little gloomier, and he walked past him without saying a word.

Chang Fan behind him had a look of fear on his face. He bent down and saluted Lian Yan before following in the footsteps of his eldest son.

Lian Yan looked into the room, saw the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and heard Xie Wanzhou's uncontrollable crying, and his expression became subtle.

"Xie Li."

When the two of them passed each other, a voice came from the side. Xie Li stopped and did not look back at him.

Lian Yan turned sideways, his eyes fell on Xie Li's gloomy handsome face, and he said coldly, "What big thing happened, to make Wanzhou cry?"

Xie Li sneered, looked back at him, and said in a deep voice, "Instead of asking me here, why not go into the house and ask what you did with your lifeblood."

Lian Yan wanted to reason with him, but he was scolded for no reason, and his face turned ugly, "I treat you like a brother, and Wanzhou is your biological sister. Even if the sky collapses, you should not treat your own family." Get angry."

"Family?" Xie Li said with a sarcastic look on his face and gritted his teeth, "Why don't I regard you as my family? But Xie Wanzhou turned her elbows outward for a little profit, and I scolded her. She was already Save face for her!"

"Who needs you to save face?" Xie Wanzhou rushed to the door and leaned against the door frame, looking shaky. Her bun was messy, her face was full of tears, and she looked sad, "You came to my place to make trouble today. After a while, I was angry. If you still haven't left, are you waiting for me to send you out with the gongs and drums?" Lian Yan was confused when he heard this, and couldn't believe that his wife, who always respected his brother, had such a bad temper.

I felt something was wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong.

Xie Li looked at her and said lightly, "It's unreasonable."

As soon as the words fell, Xie Li walked away, no longer paying attention to what happened behind him.

Xie Wanzhou leaned on the door frame, slowly sliding down, sobbing softly.

Lian Yan looked distressed, so he quickly walked over to help her up, lowered his head and comforted her, "Don't cry, the ground is cold. If you have any questions, tell me in advance. If there is any misunderstanding, I will go after Xie Li and ask for his forgiveness."

Xie Wanzhou leaned against his chest, just shook his head, unwilling to speak, and cried into tears.

Lian Yan put his arm around her shoulders and entered the house with her, not forgetting to comfort her in a low voice.

Outside the house, the servants looked at me and I looked at you, tacitly concealing the matter and doing their own work.

Zhutao looked at Yunting, who had a solemn look on his side, walked over and asked in a low voice, "Hey, why don't you go in and give me some advice?"

Yunting glanced at her and said in a low voice, "I don't dare to go. In the past, when the young master wanted to hit me, the madam could stop me. But now the madam is angry, so if I rush over, isn't it because I want to have a mixed doubles match?" "

"You have been with Madam since you were a child. Why don't you come over?"

Zhutao pursed his lips and did not respond.

It was obvious that she was also afraid of being offended.

Yunting snorted softly and pretended to be profound, "As the saying goes, if you know that there are tigers in the mountains, don't go to the mountains knowing that there are tigers."

"You and I, just stick to your duties as a domestic servant and be a considerate mute, that's better than anything else."

Zhutao nodded repeatedly, feeling that what he said was extremely reasonable, and she cheered up with him.

On the carriage, Xie Li held a tea cup and took a big gulp of tea before calming down. He turned his head to look at Changfan and asked in a low voice, "How is it? My performance is not bad, is it?"

Changfan hurriedly gave a thumbs up and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is really amazing. That face is so hateful. I almost want to slap you!"

Xie Li looked at him, and the smile on his lips fell.

Changfan suddenly realized what he had said, smiled, and started to pretend to be dead.

If I say a few more words, I'm afraid I'm going to clean Gongtong.

Xie Li rolled his eyes at him and said in a deep voice, "Everything is ready now, all that's left is an evil wind blowing from the clouds."

"But... there's something I don't understand," Chang Fan scratched his head and whispered, "Why does the prince have to hide this plan from his uncle?"

Xie Li raised the corners of his lips and said quietly, "Lian Yan is a stupid young man. If he knew that Wan Zhou was setting up a trap, he would probably fall out. I had to hide it from him just in case."

"Only if Lian Yan believes it, then that old fox Yun Jianshan will believe it."

Changfan blinked and said cautiously, "But if my uncle finds out later, given his temper, I'm afraid he will make the prince unhappy..."

Xie Li was startled, the hand holding the tea cup was shaking slightly, but he still said firmly, "With Wan Zhou here, does he still want to rebel in front of me?"
