Chapter 51 The angry young general

Walking outside to the vegetable garden, Li Xiaoyue asked in a low voice: "Chang Huan, think carefully now, did you mention tofu in front of Yuyao before breakfast?"

Li Changhuan was stunned and looked suspicious, "Mom, why do you ask that?"

Li Xiaoyue pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell Li Changhuan that after all, the eldest daughter lived with Qin Yuyao, so they spent more time together, and it was easiest to observe Qin Yuyao.

"I don't know how to say it, but I don't know why. When I heard that Qin Yuyao did not hesitate to marry your third brother, I felt it was against the law."

Li Changhuan pouted, a little unhappy, "Mom, my third brother is very good, don't underestimate my third brother."

The sons at home are very kind to Li Changhuan, and Li Changhuan also remembers the kindness of his brothers.

Even the second brother Li Changlu, who originally wanted to push her out to eliminate the disaster, rushed to fight when the Zhao family came to beat someone.

Lady Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your third brother is my son. Of course I know how good my son is. Because of this, I should be more cautious. How can marriage be a trivial matter?"

"If Qin Yuyao has ulterior motives and marries your third brother, or even takes advantage of our family, it will be your third brother and our whole family that will be harmed in the end, so I have to be cautious."

"Now, think about it carefully and then answer my question. From the time Qin Yuyao came to our house to the time of dinner this morning, did you ever mention tofu or food made with tofu?"

Li Changhuan was stunned for a moment, his expression became serious, and he thought carefully for a while, "No, mother, I didn't mention it."

"You were washing clothes by the river this morning. Did Zhou Xiaohua pick up your clothes?" Li Xiaoyue asked again.

Li Changhuan shook his head, "No, the second sister-in-law is more concerned about Qin Yuyao's life in Jiangnan, and yearns for the wealth of Jiangnan."

Li Xiaoyue thought for a moment and nodded, "Your second sister-in-law is indeed such a person, and she probably won't say anything. Okay, from now on, when Qin Yuyao asks you anything, you answer truthfully. However, you have to write it down and take the time to tell me. explain."

Li Changhuan nodded, "I understand, mother."

Qin Yuyao stayed with Li Changhuan, learning to do housework and understanding everything about the Li family.

It was almost noon when Old Man Li came back from selling pork in the town.

Li Xiaoyue quickly handed her old father a glass of warm water, "Dad, how is your business today?"

Old Man Li smiled and said, "Business is very good. Your second brother and I have also sold a lot of stoves and briquettes one after another. I will ask your second brother to deliver the goods in the afternoon."

"Thank you for your hard work, dad and second brother." Li Xiaoyue said with a smile. The family's briquette and stove business was really good, exceeding her expectations.

"You should be paid for your wages," Old Man Li said with a smile, "You were waiting for me, are you okay?"

Li Xiaoyue pointed outside, "Dad, it's a bit hot in the house. There are trees by the river and it's very cool over there. Let's go over there and talk."

Hearing this, Old Man Li was startled. This was because his daughter had something to say to him alone, "You are right, I am indeed hot."

The father and daughter came to the river one after another, "Xiaoyue, what do you want to ask?"

"Dad, since you met Qin Yuyao, have you ever mentioned tofu in front of her?" Li Xiaoyue asked, "This question is very important. Dad, please think about it carefully."

When Old Man Li heard this, he waved his hand and said, "As soon as I saw Brother Qin's loyal servants and Qin Yuyao, and learned what happened to Brother Qin, I hated His Majesty for his debauchery and the chaos in the court. He only thought about repaying his kindness, so how could he have any thoughts to talk about it? Tofu?"

When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she felt even more tangled in her heart, but soon, she was sure of one thing. Their Li family might be under surveillance.

"Xiaoyue, I'm a little confused. What do you mean?" Old Man Li asked, "If you have anything, you can tell me. Don't hide it."

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "The thing is like this. As soon as breakfast was served, Qin Yuyao recognized tofu and mentioned tofu rolls, a food that only appeared on our dining table..." Old Man Li listened to Li Xiaoyue's narration and doubted it. After passing by, his pupils shrank and he remained silent for a long time.

Old Man Li frowned, and his heart skipped a beat, "Xiaoyue, do you think Qin Yuyao might be pretending? Isn't your fourth brother very dangerous?"

Li Xiaoyue thought for a while, then shook her head, "Dad, what's fake can't be true, and what's true can't be fake. If it's fake, it's easy to expose, so I guess Qin Yuyao should be Uncle Qin's granddaughter."

"Uncle Qin may be disappointed with the court and hopes that his granddaughter can have a safe place away from the right and wrong place in the capital. However, Qin Yuyao may not think so. There may be other purposes or there may be someone else behind it."

"These are all our speculations. What is the purpose? We don't know who is behind it. But from this small detail, I can conclude that we are being targeted."

After hearing this, Old Man Li looked into the distance, squinted slightly, and touched his gray beard like a steel needle.

"I have retired to the countryside for so many years. Not many people remember me, and even fewer people know my whereabouts. After thinking about it, there is nothing worth remembering about our family."

After thinking about it, Li Xiaoyue came to this conclusion. She pointed to Dongshan, "Is it because of the new training ground?"

Old Man Li also looked at Dongshan and nodded, "Yes, focusing on Dongshan's training ground, or on General Huo, should this be done by the court?"

Li Xiaoyue pondered for a moment and shook her head, "Dad, it may not be His Majesty's fault. The old emperor is fatuous and the princes are old and have their own purposes. It may be them."

"In addition, the Qin family ended up in the current state of ruin because of the emperor's stupidity. Qin Yuyao went from being a proud daughter of heaven to becoming a slave of sin. She may also be resentful and bribed by the enemy."

Old man Li's eyes flashed and he took a breath of cold air. Brother Qin may not be treason, but Qin Yuyao may not be!

"Qin Yuyao, an unarmed woman with no martial arts skills, may not be able to contact Dongshan Military Camp when she marries into our family. Why is this?"

Li Xiaoyue was also quite upset because she couldn't figure it out either.

Although there are briquettes and stoves at home, and even if there is a white jade ointment recipe that can make money, it is not worth Qin Yuyao marrying into the Li family.

"Dad, I'm also puzzled."

"Now that we have discovered something strange, we should pay more attention in the future. I will keep an eye on outsiders who come into contact with Qin Yuyao."

Old Man Li nodded, "Well, okay, we have a clear conscience and are not afraid of ghosts and gods, let alone people full of conspiracies."

"You were able to discover something strange so quickly. No wonder you disapprove of Qin Yuyao's immediate marriage to Changshou. I was negligent."

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Dad, you are worried about Uncle Qin, and you are worried about Uncle Qin. Moreover, Qin Yuyao is a woman, so it is not good for you to pay too much attention."

The father and daughter reached an agreement, and Li Xiaoyue took a few big bones given by her old father and turned around to go home.

As soon as she reached the door, Li Xiaoyue saw a dozen people galloping past on horseback.

Among them, Niu Dazhuang drove his horse and dismounted in front of Li Xiaoyue, "Aunt Li, can you make some bacon biscuits for our Major General and the military counselor? They are in a bad mood today and need something delicious to adjust their mood."

Li Xiaoyue blinked her big eyes and lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong? If you can, just say it. If you can't, just pretend I didn't ask."

"Is there anything you can't say?" Niu Dazhuang smiled honestly, "Our major general and military advisor have been very lucky recently. When we go out, we always meet beautiful women who are bullied by bullies, or stunning beauties who sell their bodies to bury their fathers... But these Most women have problems and are arrested by major generals and military advisors.”

Li Xiaoyue, who was originally confused, suddenly had a flash of light after hearing Niu Dazhuang's words. She finally figured it out!
