Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 126 It's Okay

"Well, Manager Li—very capable!" Besides that, what else could she say?
Mrs. Xue looked at her and smiled slightly, "Although I rarely see the child raised in the front yard, they say he is a good child—if you think about it, the child's parents are loyal servants no matter what. He should also follow his parents..."

Shaking her head, the old lady Xue said indifferently: "Although the status is too low, it's great that we girls are not going to marry us, just force it, let's forget it..."

"Grandmother..." Xue Wanying called out, her eyebrows furrowed.

Gu Sixiao thought in her heart: If you know that your sister has refused to recruit Li Chongyang as her son-in-law, you probably won't have such an expression.

Just thinking about it, Li Chongyang has already opened the curtain and entered.

As soon as he entered the door, he greeted the old lady Xue with a smile, "It's been a long time since I came to greet the old lady. Bring it back."

As soon as Li Chongyang entered the door, Xue Wanying's eyes were fixed on him. Just thinking about it, her eyes became a little sad, and she lowered her head.

Gu Sixiao has been watching her situation all the time, but she doesn't know if the old lady Xue has also seen it, and she is even more indifferent to Li Chongyang.

But maybe the usual old lady is not very enthusiastic about Li Chongyang, and Li Chongyang doesn't care.

Looking at Gu Sixiao, she said with a smile: "Little lady, we will go to the shop together in the future, so please take care of me."

Seeing Li Chongyang's smile, the corners of Gu Sixiao's mouth twitched, "Didn't you say you're resigning from the manager's position? I'm afraid I won't be able to see Brother Li in the shop from now on."

Taking Li Chongyang's face directly, Gu Sixiao looked at his froze smile, and the smile became a little bigger.

"What resigned as steward? What happened?"

Because of the quarrel with Li Chongyang, Xue Wanying didn't go to the shop recently, so she couldn't help being suspicious when she heard Gu Sixiao's words.

"Little lady, you have misunderstood me too much." Without answering Xue Wanying's words, Li Chongyang just looked at Gu Sixiao with pity, "Maybe I will explain this matter again, but the little lady won't listen to it, it's okay I have made this matter clear to Uncle Xue, and he has allowed me to remain in charge."

"Daddy agreed? Then my second sister agreed too?" Glancing at Xue Wanying, she didn't say it directly, but said vaguely: "I think second sister doesn't want to work with you anymore..."

Li Chongyang's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.

Instead, the old lady Xue didn't know what to think, and suddenly laughed: "It's really interesting, I thought you two have such a relationship, you should take care of each other..."

As if she felt that she had slipped her mouth, Mrs. Xue kept her voice shut and kept silent, which made Gu Sixiao secretly suspicious.

How could she have any relationship with Li Chongyang?Did the old lady say this unintentionally or on purpose?
Xue Wanying didn't care about these things. When she heard the old lady say such words, she pouted her mouth and pretended to be coquettish: "Grandma, you are wrong, obviously Brother Li belongs to the eldest sister!"

Smiling slightly, Li Chongyang turned to look at Xue Wanying, the ambiguity in his eyes was annoying.

Gu Sixiao twitched the corner of her mouth, and said deliberately: "Sister Wanying is wrong, Brother Li is not someone from the eldest sister, the eldest sister explained it to Brother Li during the day, and she will never ask Brother Li to be her son-in-law! Don’t say things like this in the future, as it will damage my sister’s reputation if it is misunderstood.”

Covering her mouth and exclaiming, Xue Wanying looked at Li Chongyang with surprise and doubt in her eyes.

"Sister Wanhua and I have said before... In short, we are not destined."

One sentence was vague, as if Xue Wanhua didn't recruit him as his son-in-law because of what he said.

Gu Sixiao sneered in her heart, seeing Xue Wanying's surprised and happy expression, she despised Li Chongyang even more.

Before, it was flattering, but now it is better, and I can try my best to seduce Xue Wanying.

I don't know what the two father and daughter of the Xue family said. Although Xue Wen said in front of his own family after Li Chongyang left that he was not allowed to mention Li Chongyang as his son-in-law, Li Chongyang still returned to the shop as usual. go to work.

"Some things always require an exchange..." Although Xue Wanhua's tone was calm, she looked at Gu Sixiao in a strange way.

"Hua'er, can I trust you? If you had to choose between me and Brother Li, which one would you trust?"

"Why would my sister say such things? What does Li Chongyang have to do with me? Naturally, I want to turn to you, my sister?"

In front of them, Gu Sixiao just laughed, but then went to find Su Jingchun.

"I want to know who exactly is Li Chongyang? How did Xue Wen bring him home and adopt him—what relationship does he have with 'me'?"

However, within ten days, Su Jingchun had already found out the details of Li Chongyang.

"Li Chongyang, a native of Jinan Prefecture, whose father, Li Cang, was former General Weiyuan's family general. 12 years ago, General Weiyuan was demoted due to an incident. On his way back from Beijing to his hometown in Jinan Prefecture, he encountered robbers and was brutally killed. This Li Cang and his wife died at the same time. I just don’t know why it was Officer Xue who adopted Li Chongyang in the end.”

Looking at Gu Sixiao, Su Jingchun seemed to want to say something, but turned away with a smile and said nothing.

"Was the whole family killed? Or was it just General Weiyuan?" Lowering his voice, Gu Sixiao unconsciously covered his mouth after asking.

"Master Su, was this General Weiyuan really killed by robbers? Isn't it absurd for a general to die under the knife of robbers?!"

"It's absurd, but the official rhetoric is like this, just like when we were robbed before and Commander An was killed, it was just the robbers..."

Su Jingchun sighed softly, and said softly, "Sixiao, do you really want to know?"

"Yes, I want to know. Though I'm not—no, I'm her, and I want to know what's going on."

Nodding his head, Su Jingchun took out a letter from his pocket, "Everything I found is written here. If you want to read it, you can read it. If you don't, you can burn it."

There was no response, and after Su Jingchun sat quietly and stopped talking, Gu Sixiao slowly opened the letter.

The letter had been torn off the letterhead and inscription, judging by the tone, it was a secret report from Su Jingchun's subordinates.

The letter mentioned that 12 years ago, General Weiyuan died, but his wife and a three-year-old baby girl survived. For some reason, that Mrs. Li did not return to Jinan as planned, but panicked. Fleeing to the south of the Yangtze River, there has been no news since then.

It was not until eight days ago that Su Jingchun sent a letter to re-investigate the matter that no one traced the whereabouts of this lady.He also suspects that Mrs. Mu, the minister of rites in Beijing, is the wife of Mrs. Li back then.

However, the details of how this Mrs. Li became Mrs. Mu are unknown. It is only vaguely found that Mrs. Mu is from Jiangnan, and lived in Songjiang Mansion in Jiangnan ten years ago before winning the first prize.

"Songjiang Mansion!" Gu Sixiao murmured in a low voice, and subconsciously let out a long sigh.

She had heard of this Muda man before.There are many talented people in Songjiang, and those who are talented are mostly arrogant, with an appearance that no one looks down on.

However, the existence of Zhuangyuan Gong will be proud of those literati even in ten years, and they will talk about it to show off to outsiders.

"I have checked that Mrs. Li's natal family is also in Jinan, and she has some friendship with Xue's family. The lady's surname is Bai, and her boudoir name is Mudan."

Peony under the moon? !
For some reason, Gu Sixiao suddenly laughed.

"Didn't your people find out that Mrs. Li's daughter is still in Mufu?"

Perhaps, she is not the daughter of General Li at all!
Looking at Su Jingchun who was silent, her smile gradually disappeared.

Su Jingchun has identified her as General Li's daughter, right?It was herself, and thinking about it, it seemed that she should be like this.

Mrs. Li and Xue Wen have a relationship, and there may even be an old relationship that is difficult to tell to outsiders. The fan pendant should be the birthday present he gave Mrs. Li back then.

That General Weiyuan was demoted and died in an inexplicable way, so Xue Wen didn't dare to reveal her identity, but chose to recognize her as his daughter.

It was because of his relationship with Mrs. Li that he brought Li Chongyang back and took good care of him. Even after knowing what Li Chongyang had done, he still forgave him and let him work in Xueji.

Looking at the silent Gu Sixiao, Su Jingchun suddenly laughed, "If it's as we guessed, then you and Li Chongyang really flooded the Dragon King Temple!"

Frowning, Gu Sixiao was silent for a while, and said: "Who is his relative?! Even if Li Chongyang's parents died for that General Weiyuan, it doesn't mean that I have to regard him as a benefactor. Based on his behavior, I think , really didn’t inherit half of his parents’ benevolence.”

After saying this, Gu Sixiao's expression also became serious, "The Xue family has adopted him for 12 years, but he has been playing with the Xue family's ideas, wanting to take their property as his own. A villain like him , I disdain to discuss friendship with him."

"Although he is a villain, sometimes this kind of villain is the best pawn if you use it..." Seeing Gu Sixiao turned to look at him, Su Jingchun raised his hand and smiled bitterly, "I won't talk about this Li Chongyang anymore, he loves to play tricks." Just do whatever, what does that have to do with us?"

"If I tell you, you will be happy."

Gu Sixiao looked up at him, his eyes were as bright as stars in the sky, for some reason, Su Jingchun's voice froze, and it took a while before he smiled.

"That Mrs. He now regards Su Mei as a confidant, and even went to the theater to watch him several times..."

"Madam He went to the theater to watch a play?"

Gu Sixiao's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but also smiled.

Generally speaking, a married woman like Mrs. He respects her identity, and if she wants to watch a play, she can at most ask the theater troupe to come in and sing a couple of songs.But now, she actually went to the theater to see it in person. It can be seen that she really has a heart for Su Mei.

The scene where the hero saved the beauty was indeed not in vain.

"This can be regarded as a beauty trick..." After finishing speaking, Gu Sixiao's face became slightly hot, and she lowered her head and did not speak.

Speaking of which, their methods are really a bit embarrassing.However, if Mrs. He herself behaved properly, their beauty trick would not work.

"I think it won't be long before there should be news." Su Jingchun didn't think as much as Gu Sixiao did.

Opening the bead curtain hanging on the window casually, he looked down, but laughed in a low voice, "It seems that there are still people who are using beauty tricks!"

Hearing what he said, Gu Sixiao couldn't help turning around and looking out.

The long street was bustling, and at a glance, she happened to see the two she was familiar with.

On the opposite street, Xue Wanying was haggling with a small vendor with a smile on her face, and beside her was Li Chongyang.

Really happy, Xue Wanhua's side failed, and immediately turned around to hook up with Xue Wanying, and he was still so bold.

I'm afraid that the identity of the Xue family's son-in-law really can't escape.

Li Chongyang, really good means!Good idea!
