"How would I know this? He is not from my yard. If you are really curious, just ask your good sister."

Dou Lianyi glared at Lu Shangxuan angrily, her brows and eyes looking a little hazy due to alcohol.

Lu Shangxuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and his mouth became dry.

"Lian Niang, why can't you always trust me? I told you that Lian'er is just my sister. The relationship between me and her is just the friendship we grew up with when we were children, and there is nothing more."

Lu Shangxuan couldn't help but stretched out his hand, grabbed Dou Lianyi's smooth wrist, and spoke affectionately.

"Husband, you just dare to say this when there is no one around. If my sister-in-law and Brother Dong were here, I'm afraid I wouldn't even dare to open my mouth."

Dou Lianyi did not pull her hand back, but moved closer and breathed softly.

This word about a husband made Lu Shangxuan swallow his saliva, his mind was confused, and he kept saying: "Even if they were here, I would say this, not to mention that Brother Dong is just a child, what can he understand."

"Speaking of Brother Dong, he is really pitiful. He is obviously an orphan like Fu Qing, but Fu Qing is more sensible. I don't know if it is because my sister-in-law indulges Brother Dong too much."

Speaking of this, Dou Lianyi sighed deeply, as if she was really thinking about Brother Dong.

Then, as if she suddenly realized something, she frowned, and while trying to retract her hand, she said with doubt in her tone: "Speaking of which, is Dong Geer your husband's child outside? How do you feel about it? Husband, do you also indulge Brother Dong?"

Hearing this, Lu Shangxuan suddenly seemed a little uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and quickly denied: "Of course not! Lian Niang, please don't mention this matter again in the future, and don't mention it in front of Brother Dong." It’s about him being an orphan, and the child is still young, so hearing this all the time will inevitably hurt his self-esteem.”

"That's right, but husband, don't you pity Brother Dong's life experience?"

However, Dou Lianyi stared directly at Lu Shangxuan, insisting to hear what he said with her own ears.

Seeing this, Lu Shangxuan was confused for a moment, so he naturally nodded and admitted, "It's pity."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft sound outside the yard.

The two people heard the sound and walked over, and immediately saw Brother Dong with a pale complexion not far away.

There was also a maid who was trotting behind. She looked panicked and kept shouting: "Young master, please run slowly. In front of you is the young lady's yard. Be careful not to bump into the young lady!"

At this time, Brother Dong was still holding an arrow tightly in his hand. He probably ran here to pick up the arrow, and happened to hear what Lu Shangxuan said with his own ears.

No matter how her mother deceived her before, everything was just a temporary solution, but now she heard her father admit that she was not his biological child, and she remembered the flirtation between the servant and her mother that night, which made Dong even more confused. Brother felt slightly uneasy.

Could it be that he really is not of father's blood?
Then he is not the young master of the county prince's palace?

When he thought of this, Brother Dong couldn't accept it. He clenched his fists, turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Seeing this, Dou Lianyi lowered her eyes, concealed the faint smile in her eyes, and pretended to be confused and asked: "Brother Dong, what's going on? Why did you run away without even saying hello?"

"Brother Dong!"

Lu Shangxuan couldn't sit still anymore and stood up immediately. However, because he had drunk and was in a hurry, his whole body shook a bit.

"Husband, be careful."

Dou Lianyi pretended to help Lu Shangxuan, and at the same time secretly winked at the maid.

After just a short delay, Brother Dong had already disappeared. Lu Shangxuan was so angry that he turned around and got angry at the maid.

"What on earth is going on? Why did Brother Dong suddenly appear here? Didn't you all take a good look at the young master?"

"Young Master, please calm down!"

The maid immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "I have been urging the young master not to come here, but the young master not only refused to listen, but also insisted on shooting arrows here. Servant, I really can't persuade you." Stay young master!"

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi frowned slightly and said with some displeasure: "In the end, it's the fault of you servants. I'll fine you half a month's salary and accept the punishment on your own."

"Yes, young lady."

The maid raised her head, confessed her crime with tears in her eyes and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, Lu Shangxuan suddenly realized something. He stopped the maid and asked sharply: "I remember that you are not the one who serves Brother Dong. What is your name, and which master do you serve?"

"As far as the young master is concerned, my name is Fen'er, and I serve the second young lady."

After Fen'er finished speaking, Lu Shangxuan remembered who she was. He still remembered that he had once praised her for being cute. Thinking of this, Lu Shangxuan's tone softened slightly and asked: "Since I'm here to serve you, Why is the second young lady following Brother Dong?"

"Because, the second lady..."

Fen'er hesitated for a moment and hesitated to answer. It looked like there was something wrong at first sight.

Before Lu Shangxuan could speak, Dou Lianyi had already started scolding: "Young master is asking you something, is there anything you dare not say!"

"Yes, it was the second lady who sent the slave away. The second lady said that it would be good if Li Ke was by her side to serve her. No one else was allowed to enter the house to serve her without her order, so the slave was sent to serve the young master. "

Perhaps because she was frightened by Dou Lianyi, Fen'er confessed like she was pouring the beans. After that, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Lu Shangxuan's face.

"Li Ke? Why is this maid's name so strange?"

Lu Shangxuan was a little suspicious. He squinted his eyes and whispered to himself.

This name was a bit unfamiliar to him. He had never heard Lian'er say that she had such a servant beside her.

"Master, that Li Ke is not a maid, but a servant."

Hearing this, Fen'er explained carefully.

"What did you say?!"

It was okay if he didn't explain it. Once he explained it, Lu Shangxuan's face suddenly turned ugly. He raised his voice and asked in disbelief: "You mean that the second lady not only let a servant serve her, but also even treated you Have all these personal maids been driven away?"

"Master, please calm down. Master, it may be because Li Ke is the child of the second lady's relative, so the second lady takes good care of him. This is not what you think, young master. Please trust us, the second lady!"

Fen'er was so frightened that she kowtowed on the ground several times. Dou Lianyi, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but call her out: "That's enough! This matter has nothing to do with you. You should get up first."

Chapter 115 The show begins
"Speaking of this Li Ke," Dou Lianyi also said hesitantly at this time: "The osmanthus wine that my husband drank with me just now was also brought by him. I am still wondering how a servant can be so good. It turned out that the fine wine I received was from my sister-in-law."

"good very good!"

Hearing these words, Lu Shangxuan became even more angry and his chest heaved up and down. He turned around and saw the osmanthus wine on the table. He raised his hand in anger and swept it to the ground. He kept muttering: "What a relative." My child, I want to see what kind of relatives can be so close!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he angrily stomped on the messy ground and strode towards Lu Lianzhi's yard.

"Husband, please calm down first. If there is a misunderstanding, wouldn't it affect the relationship between you and my sister-in-law?"

Dou Lianyi pretended to call loudly from behind, but Lu Shangxuan turned a deaf ear and even walked faster.

And Dou Lianyi didn't even move a step, just watching Lu Shangxuan go away.

After Lu Shangxuan was no longer visible, the expression on her face became indifferent.

"Madam, is this considered a success?"

Fen'er also took a step forward and asked in a low voice, somewhat uneasily.

"Of course," Dou Lianyi raised the corner of her mouth, but there was no trace of smile in her eyes, "You did a good job, and there will be a good show next."

"What should this slave do now?"

"Wait, just wait patiently."

Dou Lianyi raised her hand and summoned a servant to come over and clean up the broken wine glasses. She said with some pity: "What's the crime with these osmanthus wines? I can only wait until next year to brew another vat to taste."

After saying that, Dou Lianyi took a handkerchief and wiped her wrist carefully.

Dou Lianyi felt sick when she thought about being held by Lu Shangxuan for so long.

I don't know what kind of unsightly scene Lu Shangxuan saw when he rushed to Lu Lianzhi's yard. I only know that the next day, news came that the second lady was banned from taking a step out of her house.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Dou Lianyi did not call Fen'er over to ask for details.

She just waited patiently for several days until Xiao Liuzi found an opportunity to secretly report to her.

"Madam, good news, great news!"

Before Xiao Liuzi arrived, the sound of joy could already be heard.

"Madam, does he want everyone in the hospital to hear his voice?"

Bai Zhi complained in a low voice, but Dou Lianyi, who was practicing calligraphy, smiled and raised her hand to stop her: "Okay, everyone already knows what they should know. If he likes to yell, let him yell."

While he was talking, Xiao Liuzi ran in with a smile on his face. When he saw Dou Lianyi, he bent down and saluted.

"Young madam, have you heard? There are rumors in the mansion that Brother Dong is not an orphan. His biological parents are in the prince's mansion right now!"

"Oh, yes."

However, Dou Lianyi didn't look surprised. Instead, he slowly put down the brush and raised his eyebrows at Xiao Liuzi and smiled.

"Young lady, you don't seem to be surprised. This is great news!"

On the contrary, Xiao Liuzi was a little confused by Dou Lianyi's reaction. He scratched the back of his head and asked in confusion.

"Then you can tell me why this is good news?"

"Originally, Young Master Dong Ge'er was adopted by Madam You because he had no parents. If Young Master Dong Ge'er's parents were still alive, Madam Dong would not need him as an adopted son."

There is no servant in the entire county prince's palace who hopes that Brother Dong will become the young master. Now that he has such a good opportunity, Xiao Liuzi will naturally not conceal his inner thoughts. "So, now only Fu Qing is the young master of the county prince's palace!"

Only then did Bai Zhi react, with a look of joy that could not be concealed between her eyebrows.

"Ah."

Only then did Dou Lianyi really laugh out loud. She held her chin with one hand and asked casually: "What did he think?"

Xiao Liuzi and Bai Zhi looked at each other for a while, and then Bai Zhi tentatively asked: "Is the young lady asking about the young master or the young master Dong Ge'er?"

"I want to hear from your young master first."

Hearing this, Xiao Liuzi quickly replied: "The young master feels that he has lost the face of the county prince's palace because the second young lady had a secret relationship with a servant. His face has been ugly these days. I heard that many of the servants who serve the young master are because of this." Small things were punished heavily.”

"Brother Dong, the young master has been clamoring and saying that he has nothing to do with that servant. He absolutely cannot be the servant's child. He also said that he is truly the young master's bloodline..."

"I didn't expect this show to be so exciting," Dou Lianyi slowly raised the tea cup, lowered her head and took a sip, and then continued: "But it still has to be witnessed to be interesting, Xiao Liuzi, last time Has the handkerchief given to you been given away now?”

"Don't worry, young lady, Fen'er has been sent out, and it's still being kept by Li Ke."

Dou Lianyi nodded with satisfaction, pointed her fingers on the rice paper in front of her, and gently read the words on it.

"Alum, table salt."

These are the four words she just wrote down, and they are also the prelude to the fun that will follow.

That night, when Dou Lianyi was washing and changing clothes and preparing to rest, Lu Shangxuan's deep voice came from outside the house.

"Lian Niang, are you asleep?"

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi reached for a cloak, walked out and opened the door, and raised her eyes to look at Lu Shangxuan standing in front of her.

When she saw that the other person's eyes were blue and his stubble had not been combed out, and he was obviously tired after not sleeping well for several nights, she felt uneasy at all.

She originally thought she would gloat or make some sarcastic remarks about the other party.

Seeing that Dou Lianyi was silent, Lu Shangxuan thought it was disturbing her rest, so he said with some embarrassment: "I really have something on my mind that keeps me awake, so I thought I would come to Lian Niang to tell you a few words."

"Come in and talk."

Dou Lianyi lowered her eyebrows and said nothing else. She just stepped aside and allowed Lu Shangxuan to enter her room.

Bai Zhi had already poured two cups of scented tea, brought them to the two of them, and then silently withdrew.

The osmanthus fragrant wood in the house was still burning. It was obviously a cold winter night, but it was as warm as a spring day.

Coupled with the fragrance of scented tea in the mouth, Lu Shangxuan's irritable mood for several days eased a bit. After taking a few sips, he hesitated and didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Dou Lianyi also sat there patiently and cut the candle wick with silver scissors. The candlelight made her concentrated features look picturesque, and the occasional glance over her made people feel nervous.

Chapter 116 Send Brother Dong Away
Lu Shangxuan took a deep breath and finally hinted: "Lian Niang, you must have heard some rumors in the house these days."

"what you mean?"

However, Dou Lianyi not only didn't answer, but looked back with a blank expression, which made Lu Shangxuan speechless for a moment. He hesitated for a long time before continuing: "There are some rumors about Brother Dong's life experience. In fact, he is not an orphan... …”

Seeing Lu Shangxuan's unspeakable expression, Dou Lianyi responded with a sudden realization: "So this is what happened. I thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be true?"

"Yeah, it's not true either..."

Lu Shangxuan opened his mouth, then closed it helplessly. He looked like he had a headache and said, "Mother Lian, it's too troublesome to explain this matter. Anyway, you just need to believe me."

"it is good."

Dou Lianyi nodded and said directly under Lu Shangxuan's incredible gaze: "I believe you. I know you must not have known that Brother Dong's parents were still alive before. There must be some misunderstanding in the middle."

"What, what?"

Hearing this, Lu Shangxuan was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe what he heard. He involuntarily avoided Dou Lianyi's eyes and stammered: "Lian Niang, do you really believe me?"

"Of course, if you had known for a long time that my sister-in-law would be living with a servant and gave birth to Brother Dong, how could you let my sister-in-law come back to the house? My mother would definitely not allow it. After all, this is too much. It’s a disgrace to the prince’s palace.”

Dou Lianyi sighed and said sympathetically.

"No, no," Lu Shangxuan was a little dumbfounded. He subconsciously denied, "How can Brother Dong be the child of Lian'er and that lowly servant!"

Even though he had Lian'er confined in the courtyard in anger these past few days, he had never doubted that Dong Ge'er was not of his bloodline.

"really?"

However, Dou Lianyi asked with a puzzled face: "Have they ever shed blood to recognize their relatives?"

"unnecessary!"

Lu Shangxuan waved his hand impatiently, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.

At this time, Dou Lianyi suggested thoughtfully: "Actually, it is not a shameful thing to do a bloody acknowledgment. As long as you know that I know, and God knows and the earth knows, it doesn't need to be known to everyone, right? ?”

This suggestion made Lu Shangxuan a little excited. He hesitated for a moment, stared at the scented tea in front of him, and did not immediately respond.

Seeing this, Dou Lianyi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, lowered her voice, and said softly, as if she was trying to confuse something: "Husband, what are you hesitating about? Or are you afraid that the child you adopted will turn out to be a lowly child?" The blood of the servants?"

"enough!"

"Husband, that's all. But the young master is the direct grandson of the county prince's palace. I'm afraid he will inherit the entire county prince's palace in the future. If this bloodline is unclean, wouldn't it be a joke to outsiders?"

Lu Shangxuan couldn't listen anymore this time. He stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and said with a gloomy face: "I will consider it. If that is really the case, I will not let his conspiracy succeed!"

"Also, my sister-in-law couldn't help herself and did such a disgraceful thing. If mother found out, I'm afraid her old man's body wouldn't be able to bear it."

Dou Lianyi added fuel to the fire and continued: "But no matter what, husband, you have seen Brother Dong as your own child. If it is true..."

Dou Lianyi did not say the next words, but looked at Lu Shangxuan with pleading eyes and begged: "But no matter what, the child is innocent after all. Husband, please don't anger Brother Dong."

"understood."

Lu Shangxuan reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly. Even if he was full of anger, he didn't want to show it too obviously in front of Dou Lianyi, lest she notice something fishy.

"Since your husband knows this, Lian Niang won't waste any more nonsense. It's already late at night, and when it's time to rest, Lian Niang won't send her away."

After that, Dou Lianyi also stood up, saying polite words, but had no intention of leaving Lu Shangxuan behind.

However, when Lu Shangxuan looked at Dou Lianyi, who was even more beautiful than before under the candlelight, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

"Lian Niang, actually I shouldn't have ignored you so much. It was my fault in the past and I didn't treat you sincerely. How about we start from scratch?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of disgust quickly flashed across Dou Lianyi's face.

Fortunately, she stabilized herself in time so that Lu Shangxuan didn't notice.

"Okay, it's too early to talk about this now. Husband, it's better to solve the immediate problem first before mentioning anything else."

Dou Lianyi called Bai Zhi and asked her to send Lu Shangxuan out, but she turned around and went back to the inner room, closing the door tightly without leaving any cracks.

The provincial Lu Shangxuan went crazy again in the middle of the night, wanting to find her to renew his old relationship.

It's really unlucky. Tomorrow I need Yuzhu to ask for some talismans to avoid villains.

The next day.

In the evening, just as Dou Lianyi was preparing to have dinner, he heard loud noises coming from Lu Lianzhi's yard in the distance.

From time to time there were a few crying and shouting sounds, which sounded really pitiful.

Dou Lianyi stopped and listened for a long time, vaguely hearing one or two words that had no beginning or end.

"...Please tell me clearly whose child it is!"

"What about this handkerchief? And why is it..."

"Bitch! You have lied to me for so many years. You are so shameless and unruly. I thought you and Brother Dong..."

Dou Lianyi could actually guess the next words. She smiled and did not continue to listen. Instead, she let Bai Zhi support her and continue walking farther away.

"Young madam, Xiao Liuzi is really clever."

Dou Lianyi did not comment, but glanced at Fu Qing who was practicing martial arts in the distance, and sighed in a low voice: "Alumen makes blood blend, but salt can make it difficult for biological father and son to recognize each other face to face. It is really interesting."

This good show has finally come to an end.

There would no longer be a place for her, Lu Lianzhi, in this prince's palace.

Mrs. Lu didn't realize anything was wrong until a few days after the incident settled.

Although she didn't like Brother Dong very much, he was her direct grandson after all. She hadn't seen him come to greet him for many days, and she hadn't seen him in the house, so Mrs. Lu summoned a servant who was passing by. asked.

"Returning to the old lady, Brother Dong was sent to a village in the suburbs by the young master a few days ago."

Mrs. Lu's eyes suddenly widened and she shouted angrily: "How dare you! How dare you call the young master by his first name!"

"But the young master said that Brother Dong is no longer the young master of the county prince's palace," the servant was stunned for a moment and hurriedly explained: "The young master also said that Brother Dong is just a..."
