Chapter 80

Although the sun is shining brightly, because this Yazhuju has not seen the sun for many years, it looks more and more gloomy.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and everyone felt their bones shiver. They backed up a few steps in fright, and looked at the mulberry tree warily, as if a ghost would appear under the tree if they were not careful.

The old monk also took a few steps back in shock, holding a compass and muttering words.

Tao Zhizhang smiled slightly and walked towards the old monk. The old monk just looked up at Tao Zhizhang. At this time, the shadow of the tree was mottled on Tao Zhizhang's face, flickering bright and dark, making the red spot on her face even more contrasting. It was terrifying, the old monk backed up a few steps in fright, and shouted: "No, don't look for this old man! This old man is..."

He was about to say the word "false", when the manager saw something wrong and shouted, "Master, please take a look at the monster under the mulberry tree!"

The old monk was woken up by the sound of drinking, and he woke up suddenly, what happened to him?To actually look at the eyes of this second young lady and get dizzy?

This second lady is really evil.

Guiltyly avoiding Tao Zhizhi's teasing smile, he walked under the mulberry tree.

Tao Zhizhang followed him lightly with his eyes, and there was a smile on his lips that was not a smile.

Suddenly, she felt a scorching gaze staring at her closely, making her feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She turned her head abruptly, but met Prince Zhuo Lingyi's gentle and fairy-like smile, which was clear and shallow, It is like a floating light, ethereal and soft, as if walking on the clouds, making people feel dreamy and blurred.

At this time, Zhuo Qihua's yin and yang voice came from beside his ears, saying: "Master Tao, it's really annoying to have peacocks in your yard!"

"Peacock?" Tao Ju was stunned, where did the peacock come from in his yard?Immediately looked at Zhuo Qihua foolishly.

Zhuo Lingyi's face sank slightly, and he moved his eyes to the old monk calmly.

Tao Zhizhang chuckled, looked at Zhuo Qihua with wonderful eyes, Zhuo Qihua blushed, moved his eyes away, moved his lips slightly, and said silently: "Tricking flowers and messing with grass!"

Momozhizao's face instantly sank.

Seeing Tao Zhizhang slumped, Zhuo Qihua was happy again, and raised his head proudly.

Tao Zhizhi made a face in secret, and also scolded him for being childish with his lips.

The interaction between the two was not seen by others, but Zhuo Lingyun saw it clearly, his face was ashen, and he stared at Tao Zhijian gloomyly, trying to warn Tao Zhijian with his eyes.

But Tao Zhizhang didn't even look at him, he just regarded him as a transparent person.

Zhuo Lingyun was so angry that veins popped out of his forehead.

But Tao Qiwu's tender little face was distorted because of resentment, and he stared at Tao Zhixun fiercely, wishing he could peel Tao Zhixun's skin and eat Tao Zhixun's flesh.

Tao Zhizhi was stunned by the look, and looked at her, but the moment he met her eyes, he saw Tao Qiwu's perfect smile, innocent, cute, and pure.

Peach's heart sinks slightly, and peaches live in Wu, it's not easy!
At this time, I only heard the old monk say: "Director, the old monk sees that you are full of yang energy, and you are afraid of ghosts and gods, why don't you go with the old monk!"

Tao Zhizhang was slightly stunned, and couldn't help laughing sarcastically, he didn't expect the manager to find such a timid old monk after looking around!
If he didn't know that the manager is from the Lian family, he would have thought that the manager was here to demolish the Lian family!

The steward glanced at the old monk contemptuously, regretting why he found such a timid old monk!

But I regretted it, but now I had no choice but to shoot, and followed the old monk to the mulberry tree with a cold face...

After arriving under the mulberry tree, when he saw the things in the pit, his face darkened and he stayed there.

Taoju said anxiously: "Housekeeper, what did you see?"

The housekeeper looked at the skinned and bloody dead cat under the mulberry tree with a stiff face, and he didn't recover for a while.

No, isn't there a villain with countless silver needles that should be placed here?How did it become a dead cat?

His silence made Taojuxia even more uneasy, even Zhuo Lingyun and Zhuo Lingyi were curious.

Zhuo Qihua pursed his lips slightly, and mockingly outlined a faint smile.

"Butler, what the hell is it?!" Lian winked anxiously at the butler.

The butler was startled, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Prince Hui, Fourth Prince, Eldest Son, Lord Marquis, Madam, there is a dead cat under this mulberry tree!"

"Dead cat? How is this possible!" Lian Shi screamed and said anxiously, "Housekeeper, you didn't see it clearly? You have to take a good look!"

The butler also thought that he had read it wrong, but it was indeed a bloody dead cat inside, so he said angrily, "Mrs. Hui, it is indeed a dead cat!"

"Dead cat!" Lian Shi staggered and murmured, "How could it be a dead cat? Why not..."

"Mother!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Tao Qiwu immediately interrupted Lian Shi's words: "Maybe someone buried the dead cat under the tree as flower fertilizer, but it's nothing more than beating the cat to death, how can you peel it into bloody pieces?" How about putting it down? This cat killer is too vicious!"

Speaking of this, his eyes turned to Tao Zhijian. You must know that this yard belongs to Tao Zhizhi, and the person who can bury a dead cat under the mulberry tree must also be Tao Zhizhi.

So she said this to destroy Tao Zhijian's image in front of Zhuo Qihua, and let Zhuo Qihua know that Tao Zhijian is a cruel and merciless person, so she detests Shang Taozhi.

Who knew that Tao Zhizhi smiled slightly and said, "Fifth sister, how do you know that there is a bloody cat buried under the mulberry tree without even looking at it?"

Tao Qiwu was taken aback for a moment, and then said proudly: "What's so difficult about this, if a normal dead cat can frighten people into fainting, it must be a dead cat with a terrifying image that can have this effect, so I think about it The scariest thing to do is skinning."

Tao Zhizhang listened and praised: "Fifth Younger Sister is really smart, she can reason so accurately, it would be unexpected to me!"

Tao Qiwu was very proud when he heard Tao Zhizhi's praise, but when he thought about it carefully, it was not a pleasant feeling. This Tao Zhiwu clearly satirized her for being cruel and merciless to reason such a result!
At that moment, his face was so gloomy that it almost dripped water, and he stared at Taozhizhang solemnly.

Tao Zhizhang ignored her, but looked at Lian Shi and said, "Ma'am, just now you said it shouldn't be a dead cat, so what do you think it should be?"

Lian Shi was a little embarrassed, avoiding Tao Zhizhang's eyes, and said forcefully: "How does this lady know what it should be?"

"Oh, so Madam didn't know either! Madam's excited look just now made me think Madam knew what to bury under this tree!"

Tao Juzheng thought of Lian Shi's performance just now, looked at her suspiciously and said, "Lian Shi, what do you think is inside?"

Lian became annoyed and said: "Master Hou asked this, how would I know what is buried in the ground? This is not where I live, Master Hou will ask your good daughter if you want to ask!"

Taoju was being refuted by Lian Shi in front of so many people, and suddenly felt that he lost face, and glared at Lian Shi bitterly.

But Zhuo Qihua was still afraid that the world would not be chaotic and said: "Master Tao, it's not my son who said you, your house should really be ruined, it's just a dead cat, and it's such a fuss, if it really happens What's the big deal and what's the panic?"

Tao Juzheng's expression changed, he said this as if he was incompetent, he was thinking about being a nobleman, if the emperor knew that he couldn't even manage the inner house, how could he let him continue to be a nobleman?

Immediately, with a dark face, he reprimanded Lian Shi: "Lian Shi, look at you, how do you train these servants on weekdays? You can even faint from a dead cat. It's really embarrassing! Thanks to the prince, the fourth prince and the eldest son who came here today, they are all acquaintances who would not laugh at this Marquis, so if you change someone else, wouldn’t it make people laugh at you for being incapable of managing the family?"

In a few words, Tao Juzheng pushed all the faults to Lian Shi, and then used words to hold the prince, the fourth prince and Zhuo Qihua, so that they would not spread the matter.

Zhuo Lingyi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile: "Don't be angry, Lord Hou. The Hou's mansion is so big, it's understandable that Mrs. Hou didn't take care of it. With so many concubines, Lord Hou, how can you find a few capable concubines?" Just help Mrs. Hou share the burden."

Tao Juzheng's heart skipped a beat, that's right, that day he gave Fang Shi the housekeeping right in front of everyone, but Fang Shi passed out, and now Lian Shi is still in charge, and Lian Shi is getting more and more inconvenient in doing things now. His heart is broken, why doesn't he use the prince's words to share some of Lian's power, and let those concubines have a chance to control the housekeeping power?
One must know that he had let the Lian family take care of the house before. Firstly, the backstage of the Lian family was too strong, so he didn't dare to stroke the tiger's beard lightly. Secondly, those concubines were all playthings, and none of them had a back.

But it's different now, and it's his good fortune that some of these concubines' fathers and brothers have been promoted, and one of them has become a fifth-rank governor.

Isn't this a good opportunity to win over?
Immediately, he expressed his gratitude and said: "It's really better to hear the words of the king than to read ten years of books. Hearing the prince's words awakened the dreamer, so I will do as the prince said."

Zhuo Lingyi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't say that, this palace is also a suggestion, but the specifics can only be determined according to the situation of the Hou Mansion!"

"Haha, what the prince said seems to be that he is afraid that the prince will blame the prince afterwards. Don't worry, the prince, what you said is exactly what the prince thinks. Thank you, prince!"

Zhuo Lingyi then pursed his lips and remained silent. He used his power to promote the family members of Tao Juzheng's concubines, in order to let these concubines have the opportunity to manage the backyard of the Tao family.

Peach House...

Thinking of the treasure, a scorching heat flashed across his eyes, which was completely different from his indifference.

Zhuo Lingyun looked at Zhuo Lingyi strangely, wondering why Zhuo Lingyi would meddle in such nosy matters.

Zhuo Qihua squinted his eyes thoughtfully, and exchanged a glance with Tao Zhizhang, who shook his head, expressing that he didn't see what Zhuo Lingyi was thinking.

Lian Shi was going crazy with anger, if Zhuo Lingyi was not the crown prince, she would have wished to go up and slap him.

She tugged at Tao Hanrui, and pouted at Zhuo Lingyun, wanting her to encourage Zhuo Lingyun to persuade Tao Juzheng.

Who would have thought that Tao Hanrui smiled slightly, and asked in a voice that everyone could hear: "Mother, what's the matter?"

Lian Shi froze there, with storms in her eyes, she was really stupid, this Tao Hanrui was not her beloved daughter, but a fake one, how could she help her?
He smiled awkwardly and said: "Oh, it's nothing, I see that the sky is quite hot, and I'm afraid that the heat will spoil the fourth prince, so go and pour a cup of tea for the fourth prince."

Zhuo Lingyun looked at Tao Hanrui with calm eyes, and smiled gently at her.

Tao Hanrui blushed, and said in a low voice: "Fourth Prince, are you thirsty?"

"I'm not thirsty, thank you Miss Tao."

Tao Hanrui said shyly and timidly: "It's all due, thank you for what."

Zhuo Lingyun was about to speak when Zhuo Qihua said impatiently: "Brother Sihuang, you want to kiss me and I will do it after we leave. By that time, even if you roll on the bed, it has nothing to do with us. Right now But there is business to do!"
