Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 97 Li Yu Confesses, Someone Gets Angry

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang hopped angrily.

Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "Madam doesn't like to make things difficult for me, she just wants to divorce me from the house, and take over the little dowry my mother left me! If it is true that Mr. Jiang was killed by someone, Madam will Just took this opportunity to let me go out, get my dowry, and become the biggest beneficiary! So I have to suspect that Madam sent someone to kill Mr. Jiang and frame me for the dowry in my hand!"

"Lu Xinyan, you are full of blood! Since when did I care about your dowry? It is obvious that you have no respect for your elders and acted improperly. That's why I want to divorce you!"

Jiang's face was swollen purple and red, even though she felt that it was nothing to steal Lu Xinyan's dowry for the sake of her children and younger brother's future, but when someone exposed her thoughts to the sun, she realized how ugly it was. Shame on people.

Especially when she said it in front of her father Jiang Renhai, it made her feel even more embarrassed.

The corner of Lu Xinyan's lips twitched, and a strange smile slowly broke out, "Since Madam doesn't care about my dowry, why don't you let me and your son reconcile?"

The Jiang family stopped, and immediately realized, "Lu Xinyan, don't try to avoid the topic, now someone accuses you of being the murderer behind the scenes, you'd better tell the truth! Maybe my father will spare you, otherwise..."

Lu Xinyan interrupted her and turned to Jiang Renhai, "Master Jiang, if I remember correctly, what you said at the beginning was: Someone testified that the murderer behind the scenes was a lady surnamed Lu, not that the murderer behind the scenes was a woman named Lu Xinyan." Miss, right?"

Jiang Renhai: "...Yes."

Lu Xinyan said: "There are so many people surnamed Lu in Beijing, what evidence can prove that Miss Lu is me?"

Jiang Renhai: "This..."

"Because you have enmity with me! You are dissatisfied with me, and you want to make me sad! This is the biggest proof!" Jiang roared.

"Madam, since the night of the eighth day, you have been imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, and no one will let you out without the order of your grandmother." Lu Xinyan smiled faintly, "You're just a defeated general, why would I go out of my way to murder Mr. Jiang? "

"Amin, you were imprisoned in the Buddhist hall by the old lady?" Jiang Renhai frowned and asked, "What big mistake did you make?"

Wang Renhai knew a thing or two about Feng's temperament, he was strong and upright, he rarely plotted against others behind his back, and he respected Jiang very much.

And the Jiang family has the only son in the mansion, if he hadn't made a big mistake, how could the Feng family have locked her up?
First Jiang was so humiliated by Lu Xinyan's defeat, and then Jiang Renhai questioned him, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

"Master Jiang, what we're talking about now is Mr. Jiang's matter, can you ask about Madam's matter later alone?" Lu Xinyan took the initiative to bring the topic back.

Jiang shi was not grateful for her rescue, but stared at her fiercely with cold eyes.

Lu Xinyan didn't take it seriously, and continued: "Madam thinks that I found someone to kill Mr. Jiang because of the dirty relationship with her. What I want to say is that in the confrontation between me and Madam, Madam has already lost! As a victory On the other side, do I still need to make Mr. Jiang poke Madam's heart? If I really wanted to do this, I would have done it when the outcome was still undecided, so why wait until now?"

"Hmph! Who knows what kind of heart you have? Since it can harm people, you can't judge with ordinary people's thinking." Jiang sneered, but he never let go, and insisted on killing Lu Xinyan.

Lu Xinyan said: "I think it's madam who killed Mr. Jiang and wanted to put the blame on me! Please be careful, my lord!"

Jiang said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! How could I harm Ah Huai? He is my own younger brother!"

"Since it can harm people, you can't judge it with ordinary people's thinking." Lu Xinyan blocked back with her words, "It's clear at a glance which is more important between your own children and your own brother!"

The two refused to give in to each other, not because the other party must have done it, but because they knew that the other party did not do it, but they had to bite the bullet tightly.

Jiang Huai is dead, and the dead cannot be brought back to life. If there is such an opportunity to drag Lu Xinyan into the water, the Jiang family will not let it go. As long as Lu Xinyan is convicted, not only will she get Lu Xinyan's property, but she will come out of the Buddhist hall just around the corner!
Lu Xinyan also knew that Jiang Huai would not be killed by Jiang Huai. After all, Jiang Huai's purpose for wanting her property was to support Jiang Huai.

Although Miyata Yu and Gong Yu are more important than Jianghuai, but now is not the time to choose between the two, so the Jiang family has no reason to kill Jianghuai.

But she couldn't let Jiang shi bite her to death, so she also clung to Jiang shi.

Jiang Renhai had a splitting headache from the quarrel between the two.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he also knew that there was no evidence for what the two said, it was just the woman's random guess.

"Butler You, take them..."

Before the three words could be uttered, a slight male voice uttered weakly, "My lord, that man in black also said a word that night."

"What else did you say? Tell me quickly!" Jiang heard with the tip of his ear, and asked hurriedly.

Ming Wei, who had been standing aside like air, was signaled by Jiang Renhai, and said, "Then it's so late, I don't know if it's okay to enter the Hou's mansion?"

The Jiang family was overjoyed when they heard that, "It's the Hou Mansion again, and the surname is Lu? Lu Xinyan, what else do you have to say?"

The harsh voice made Jiang Renhai frown, but this was not the time to accuse Jiang of being impolite, "Ming Wei, why didn't you say that before?"

"Return to your lord, before I finished speaking earlier, Mrs. Gong came in and said she knew who it was." Ming Wei shrank his shoulders, "At that time I heard that he was not only a murderer, but also a thief. Which marquis' mansion did he want to enter Stealing things, did not associate the previous language. So..."

Jiang showed a gloating expression, "Lu Xinyan, now that the evidence is solid, do you still want to deny it?"

Lu Xinyan slightly curled her lips, her beautiful eyes that see through everything lightly glanced at Jiang, her words were sarcasm, "It seems that the so-called madam treats Mr. Jiang as a son, and the heartbreak before is nothing more than that."

For the sake of her dowry, even the real culprit will not be arrested, and she must be punished to death!
Jiang's complexion changed, and he clenched his hands into fists, "It's useless to change the subject and deny it any more! Father will make a fair judgment!"

As long as there is enough money, not only can Yu'er Yu'er have a better future, Shi's mother and daughter can also live a more comfortable life.

As long as you have enough money, are you afraid that you won't find the real culprit in the future?
But if he misses this time, he doesn't know when he will have to wait to bring down the shrewd Lu Xinyan!

Under the balance between the two, Jiang chose to seek money first without hesitation!
"Lu Xinyan, now everyone's testimony is pointing at you, I need to take you into custody before trial..."

"Master Jiang, I can prove that Mrs. Gong Shao is innocent!" A familiar, cold and pleasant voice suddenly came.

Lu Xinyan turned her head.

I saw a tall and straight figure appearing at the door, with handsome and profound features behind the back of the light, and the dark blue robes on his body fluttering, making people dazzled.

The air in the room suddenly became noble and cold because of his arrival.

"You..." Jiang Renhai's eyes widened, as if he didn't understand why the person in front of him suddenly appeared here.

"Master Jiang, the son's body was sent back by the lower officials." The man said calmly.

"It turned out to be the kindness of Mr. Xiao!" Jiang Renhai quickly stood up, "Thank you Mr. Xiao."

In terms of official position, he was higher than Xiao Yichen, but Xiao Yichen was the son of the Duke of the first rank, the nephew of Concubine Xiao Gui, and the cousin of the third prince.

"It's just a small effort!" Xiao Yichen didn't wait for Jiang Renhai's questioning, and took the initiative to explain what he saw that night, "That night, when I was on duty at night, on my way back to my residence, I passed by Zhixin Street, and saw a man in black standing by the river turning around. Leaving, Xiaguan wanted to chase him, but found a human-shaped object floating on the river by moonlight, Xiaguan gave up chasing him, went into the water to pick him up, and took a breath..."

Xiao Yichen's pale glazed eyes deepened by two points, "When the official found out that Mr. Jiang was dead, he wanted to go after the suspect, but that person was very light-hearted, and he disappeared not long after he entered the water."

His indifferent eyes swept over Ming Wei, "I've never heard the man in black say a word."

Ming Wei's face turned pale, "I arrived first, it was...you said it before the future."

Jiang Renhai slapped the desk vigorously, and said angrily: "As soon as the murderer left, Prince Xiao had already arrived! If you arrived before, why didn't you see Prince Xiao? If you came later, how did you know that the man in black How did you kill my son? Ming Wei, how dare you lie to tease me?"

Ming Wei knelt on the ground again in fright, but didn't say a word.

Jiang Renhai sternly said: "Ming Wei, tell me the truth, what happened that night? If you don't tell me, I will treat you as the murderer of my son and put you in prison!"

Xiao Yichen said: "Master Jiang, the man in black was tall that night, it didn't match his figure."

Jiang Renhai said: "He can tell the cause of my son's death. Even if he is not the murderer, he may be one of the accomplices!"

Seeing Ming Wei's head drooping, his whole body trembling, he was obviously extremely frightened, but for some reason, he just refused to speak again.

"Come here, take him to the sky prison, and set up a case for retrial at another day!"

After Ming Wei was pushed down, Jiang Renhai said wearily: "Xiao Shizi, I'm busy with family affairs, so I'm afraid I won't be negligent..."

"Your official understands, Lord Jiang's condolences!" Xiao Yichen cupped his hands and said, "I will take my leave first."

From the beginning to the end, he never took a single look at Lu Xinyan.

Lu Xinyan wanted to thank him, but seeing his indifferent expression, she curled her lips and swallowed the words of thanks.

"Amin, it's fifteen tomorrow, you take them back home first, Ah Huai will come back in the first seven."

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival, and the water splashed by a married daughter is already a member of the family, so this kind of festival cannot stay in the natal family.

Seeing the great situation, Jiang Shi clenched his teeth angrily when Xiao Yichen suddenly appeared and reversed the situation with a few words.

When packing up and going back to Guangping Marquis Mansion, Jiang Shi didn't wait for Lu Xinyan, directly pulled Gong Tian Yu Gong Yu into the car, and told the driver to speed up and gallop away.

Lu Xinyan also didn't want to go with Jiang Shi, and when she came out, she saw that there was only one carriage, so she couldn't wish for Jiang Shi's move.

He also deliberately asked the driver to drive slower on the grounds of Baizhi's motion sickness.

The two carriages were one behind the other, and soon they were separated by a street, and they couldn't see each other.

After walking for a while, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the coachman hummed, but there was no sound.

The memory of being framed before was still fresh, Qingtong was secretly on guard.

"Who?" Lu Xinyan asked.

"It's me, little monkey."

"Little monkey?" Lu Xinyan moved to the side of the carriage and opened the curtain, "What do you want from me?"

Standing outside was not only a little monkey, but also Xiao Yichen with his hands behind his back, drooping eyes, slightly raised chin, and an expressionless face.

The moonlight covered the whole body, making it more cool and luxurious.

"Master Li asked me to bring you a letter." The little monkey took out a letter from his sleeve.

Li Yu wrote to her?Lu Xinyan reached out to take it in doubt, and under the moonlight, she vaguely saw the words on it: Young Madam, after hearing what you said that day, I decided to have a showdown with my mother. If my mother disagrees, I will go on a hunger strike until she agrees!

Hunger strike?Lu Xinyan looked at those words speechlessly, Li Yu, Li Yu, can you be more successful?Just learn from your mother, cry, make trouble, and hang yourself!

Suddenly my hand was empty.

Lu Xinyan stared, and stretched out her hand to the man who approached the carriage at some point, "Give it back to me!"

It turned out that the letter had already arrived in Xiao Yichen's hands.

Xiao Yichen quickly read the above content, his eyes were frighteningly dark, he suddenly stretched out his left hand, and pulled her off the carriage amidst Lu Xinyan's exclamation, his right hand tightly wrapped around her waist, "Little monkey, don't allow anyone to chase after you!"

A few jumped and disappeared.

Qingtong, who had reacted, was about to chase after him immediately.

The little monkey stood in front of the carriage, his whole body tensed up, completely different from the restless and frizzy one before, "The young master said, no one is allowed to chase after him!"

Qingtong didn't want to fight with the little monkey, "What does your young master want to do?"

Who knows what he wants to do? "Master has his own thoughts." The little monkey said with a serious face.

"Get out of the way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"You can't beat me!" The little monkey told the truth.

Qingtong was provoked by him, and directly attacked.

The two came and went on the street, sometimes on the roof and sometimes on the treetops, their figures were as fast as ghosts.

Qingtong was secretly startled, she wanted to get rid of the little monkey and go to find Lu Xinyan, but she didn't know that the little monkey didn't directly conflict with her too much, but just stopped her and wouldn't let her go.

Bai Zhi shouted in the car: "Sister Qingtong, little monkey, save your strength, don't hit me, I don't think Mr. Xiao will hurt Miss."

Tired of beating, Qingtong gave the little monkey a hard look, and stopped.

The little waiter immediately returned to his nature with a hippie smile, "Sister Qingtong, don't be angry, the young master told me, I dare not disobey."

"I'm not angry, I'll just tell Xiao He what happened tonight." Qingtong snorted coldly.

"Sister Qingtong~" the little monkey acted like a baby.

The voice sounded like an opera, and it made people's skin crawl. Bai Zhi couldn't help laughing, "Little monkey, Sister Qingtong is teasing you."

She sat in the car and waved with a smile, "Come up and sit for a while."

Qingtong jumped into the carriage first, the little monkey thought about it, and then got into the carriage.

Bai Zhi asked: "Little monkey, what did you write in Mr. Li's letter?"

The little monkey spread his arms, "I'm only in charge of delivering letters."

"Did Shizi Xiao know the contents of the letter before?"

The little waiter said: "Mr. Li told me not to let others see the contents. I must hand it over to the Young Madam. Since I promised him, I can't break my promise."

This can explain why Xiao Yichen suddenly rushed to read the letter.

It's just that I don't know what was written on it, but it actually changed his complexion and took Lu Xinyan away in disregard of etiquette.

There was a whistling wind in her ears, and the clothes on her body were fluttering with the wind. After Lu Xinyan regained her senses, the first thing she felt was not fear, but a sense of wonder!
This is the ancient light work?

Wow!It's really amazing!
Looking down, I can see the lights of thousands of families below, reflecting the bright moon in the sky.

The man next to her is holding her waist tightly with one hand, and spreading the other hand across, as if balancing his body, his toes are sometimes lightly stepping on the cornice, and sometimes lightly tapping on the treetops.

In this situation, Lu Xinyan couldn't help thinking of a pair of clothes fluttering like a fairy couple.

Just like what you see on modern television.

I suddenly felt a little romantic in my heart, until I stopped suddenly, and inexplicably, she was placed on a tree.

The moment Xiao Yichen wanted to stretch his body to leave, Lu Xinyan reacted quickly and hugged his waist back.

He froze all over, squeezed out two words between his teeth, "Let go!"

"Don't let it go!" Only a fool would let it go!
It's so high, what should I do if I fall?
She is not afraid of heights, she is not afraid of death, she is afraid of dying ugly!
Not only did Lu Xinyan not let go, but she hugged her even tighter like an octopus.

She buried her head against his chest, her nose smelled fresh and pleasant.

The towering bun pressed against Xiao Yichen's chin, itching.

The faint fragrance kept inhaling into the nostrils, and it was not known whether it was the fragrance of hair oil or the fragrance of her body.

Liuli's eyes darkened by two points for no reason, her body became more and more stiff, and she was at a loss for a moment.

The plain white dress blends into the dark blue, and when viewed from a distance on a moonlit night, it looks like an elegant landscape painting.

The surrounding air became extremely hot because of this embrace, and even the night wind blowing through the treetops seemed to have a hint of ambiguous warmth.

"If you don't let go, I'll throw you down!" The voice was low, with imperceptible hoarseness in the anger.

The threat in the voice was obvious. Although Lu Xinyan felt that he might not do this, just in case, she slowly let go, grabbed the branch with one hand, and grabbed his sleeve with the other.

Lu Xinyan questioned: "Why did you arrest me?" If he was taken away for no reason and placed on a tree, Buddha would be on fire.

Xiao Yichen's eyes moved down, and inadvertently glanced at the smooth and white hands lined by dark blue sleeves.

The moonlight shines through the leaves, and the stars are scattered on the hand, making the hand as soft and warm as jade. The extremely neatly trimmed nails are light pink, reflecting bright light.

Originally planning to get rid of her and sit in two trees with her, suddenly changed for some reason.

The anger in his heart burned up again after hearing her question.

He snorted coldly, "Don't you know what Mrs. Gong Shao has done?"

"What have I done?" Lu Xinyan felt quite innocent, "I just got rid of the suspicion of being a victim. On the way back to the house, I met you and the little monkey. The little monkey gave me a letter from Li Yu..."

She widened her eyes, "You didn't arrest me because of the letter, did you?"

Liuli's eyes became colder, "Li Yu's name, can you call it?" Li Yu?It's so affectionate!

"Shut up..." It's none of your business!Lu Xinyan originally wanted to answer him like this, but when she met those deep eyes, she realized that she was in a bad situation, so she swallowed the second half of the sentence, "Mr. Li..."

Interrupted her with an angry voice, "I have warned you many times, Li Yu is a simple person, you are not allowed to have evil intentions against him! How dare you ignore him?"

"How can I have any ill intentions towards him?" Lu Xinyan cried out.

"With the letter as proof, do you still dare to deny it?" The man next to him became more and more annoyed, two clusters of small flames seemed to be ignited in his eyes, "Do you need me to read it again?"

No matter whether Lu Xinyan agrees or not, she unfolded the paper that was about to be crumbled in her palm, and said word by word: "Young madam, after hearing what you said that day, I decided to have a showdown with mother. Agree, I will go on a hunger strike until she agrees!"

Every time he read a word, Xiao Yichen felt that his breathing became tighter. After reading, for some reason, he felt breathless.

Lu Xinyan blinked.

Brother, are you mistaken?
The person Li Yu wants to showdown is Sigu, not me!

But Li Yu pointed out that the letter was for Lu Xinyan, because Lu Xinyan knew the ins and outs, so he didn't write anyone's name, and he didn't expect that it would be seen by others and cause misunderstandings!

Lu Xinyan wanted to explain, but suddenly she had a thought and stopped explaining.

"Xiao Shizi, I have no control over what Mr. Li thinks in his heart and what he wants to do." She lazily said: "If you want to stop, you should stop Mr. Li, not come to me."

"For Li Yu, I will wake him up myself." Xiao Yichen said coldly, "But if you hadn't teased him first and given him hints, how could he have such thoughts?"

"Xiao Shizi, you have wronged my concubine. I can't bear this pot of concubine. I don't know what to flirt with. How about Xiao Shizi teach me how to teach me?" Lu Xinyan's voice suddenly became delicate, and she leaned towards Xiao Yichen. Damn, in the blink of an eye, the eyes are brighter than the moonlight in the sky, "Is it like this? Has Xiao Shizi been teased?"

The innocent and clear autumn water has its own seductive style, the red lips flutter and the fragrance in the air becomes more intoxicating.

Obviously he didn't lean against him, but he automatically felt the soft touch, which should be the same as the slender waist that he once hugged, or even more fragrant and soft.

Lu Xinyan got closer and closer, he wanted to push her away, but when he lowered his head, he caught sight of the deliberately raised chest, his eyes quickly moved away as if in shock, and he didn't know how to do it for a while.

Finally, he reached out and blocked her shoulder.

It feels extremely slippery under the hand.

Even through clothes.

He gritted his teeth, and there was a hint of forbearance in his voice, "Mrs. Gong Shao, please respect yourself."

Lu Xinyan saw his expression, smiled and said: "Didn't you say that I have no shame? Now that I have no shame, why should I respect myself!"

The hand pinching his sleeve suddenly slipped, sticking to the skin of his wrist like a snake.

Xiao Yichen shook it vigorously as if being burned.

"Ouch!" Lu Xinyan was caught off guard, her figure swayed, and she was almost thrown off the tree by him.

She changed her face instantly and said angrily, "Did you make a mistake? Do you really want me to fall to my death?"

Xiao Yichen's heart stopped beating for a moment, but his face was indifferent and disgusted, "A good person doesn't live long, and a disaster will last for a thousand years! If you fall to your death, you can count as eliminating harm for the people!"

This black-hearted guy!Is there something wrong with your brain?

Tried to harm her again and again, and saved her again and again, what went wrong?
"You're not dead, how could I be willing to die?" Lu Xinyan sarcastically returned.

The two glared at each other, and there seemed to be a bright light flashing in the sky, like thunder and lightning, setting off countless dark surges.

The surroundings were quiet, only the rustling of the leaves blown by the wind was heard. After a long time, it suddenly became a little awkward.

Lu Xinyan's eyes were tired, and she decided not to argue with him, "When will you let me go? If you don't go back for so long, the mansion will be suspicious! At that time, if the madam makes another excuse and says that I have an adulterer at night, I will say that the adulterer is You! Anyway, Qingtong Baizhi, and the little waiter can testify that you are the one who kidnapped me!"

adulterer!Xiao Yichen's face changed instantly, and the uncontrollable aura in his body seemed to burst out from his body at any moment.

The surrounding air seemed to be affected and became irritable.

Being framed as an adulterer by a woman I hate, anyone would vomit blood with anger!
Lu Xinyan thought Xiao Yichen was like this, so she turned a blind eye to the anger around him, and instead raised her chin provocatively.

Because of this movement, Yanjue's face is more clear under the moonlight, and the small face covered with a layer of moonlight adds a unique elegance.

Xiao Yichen stared at her fiercely, breathing suddenly short of breath.

He looked like he was annoyed by Lu Xinyan's shameless words.

But only he knew in his heart that he was mad at himself.

Because of the word adulterer.

Obviously hearing these two words, he should be so angry that he wants to kill someone.

However, when these two words came out of her mouth, and the target was him, he found that he was not angry.

Not only was he not angry, but he even had inexplicable expectations.

And this lack of anger and expectation is the real reason for his anger.

He gritted his teeth, without saying a word, suddenly put his arms around Lu Xinyan's waist, and jumped towards the roof opposite the tree.

Lu Xinyan was startled at first, then cheered.

"Fly higher, fly higher!"

Xiao Yichen's face darkened: What do you think I am?
But the breath in the body unconsciously stimulated them, making the two of them fly higher.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" She couldn't help admiring.

Flying into the sky again, Lu Xinyan lost even the slightest fear.

Looking at the lights of thousands of families below like a sea of ​​stars, I just feel so beautiful.

She looked up, and the bright moon in the sky seemed to be rounder, brighter and closer, and she could reach out and touch it.

The corners of the mouth couldn't help but curl up, and the eyes inadvertently glanced at someone's firm chin, and the extremely light lips under the moonlit night.

Those lips didn't look as hard as expected, they seemed to be very soft, with a slight upward curvature.

Unexpectedly, this guy is always cold and hard, but his lips are soft.

The shape is also very nice.

If it's a kiss, it should taste good.

However, she has no chance.

She dared to tease him once in a while, but she didn't dare if she really teased him. If this guy got angry, he might really get rough on her!

Forget it, men who are rough on ladies are not good birds!
Lu Xinyan was thinking wildly like this, but she didn't notice that Xiao Yichen's speed was much slower than when he came here before.

But no matter how slow it was, the destination was reached soon.

As soon as his eyes touched the roof of the carriage, Xiao Yichen's lips tightened even more, and the slight curvature at the corners of his lips disappeared.

Before letting her go, he warned again: "Don't seduce Li Yu!"

Lu Xinyan curled her lips and ignored him.

"Miss, are you alright?" Qingtong Baizhi got out of the car quickly.

"It's okay, wake up the coachman and go home." Lu Xinyan got into the car first.

"Miss, what is Xiao Shizi looking for from you?" Qing Tong was really curious.

"Something personal." Lu Xinyan said casually.

Qingtong complained silently: It's really a private matter, just find a place far away from them and talk about it, why do you take people away with the expression of catching rape?
No, what about catching rape, Xiao Shizi is not the lady's husband, Gong Shizi!

Qingtong thought and thought in her heart, but found that she couldn't find another suitable word to describe the expression on Xiao Shizi's face when he took Lu Xinyan away.

She shook her head, thinking that the moonlight must be not bright enough, Xiao Shizi arrested people too fast, she misread it!

The coachman just got acupuncture points tapped, and after the acupuncture points were unlocked, he was at a loss as to what happened.

Then, amidst Qingtong's urging, he drove the carriage to Guangping Marquis's Mansion.

And Xiao Yichen took the little monkey to the General's Mansion.

The waiter asked puzzledly: "Master, what are you doing in the general's mansion if you don't go back to the mansion so late?"

"I have something to do." Xiao Yichen's suppressed and indifferent voice sounded, "Stay here, I'll go find Li Yu."

You bastard, you're so tired of working, you dare to hook up with a married woman!

Li Yu is still awake.

Thinking about the showdown with his mother tomorrow night, I feel excited, nervous, scared, and have a headache...

Too many emotions mixed together made it impossible for him to fall asleep, so he had to think of countermeasures first.

Tomorrow he will wear two more clothes inside, in case his mother loses control and hits him, it can relieve some pain.

The incense yard had to be locked early in the morning, in case his mother was unwilling to beat him and smash his incense yard.

I have to wait until after dinner and grandma returns to the yard to rest. Grandma is getting old and can't stand his mother's troubles.

And we have to prevent his mother from rushing to the Guangping Marquis Mansion to make trouble after she finds out...

Oh, what a lot to worry about!
Li Yu was feeling emotional when there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Alu, what's the matter?" He thought it was his valet, Alu.

"It's me." The deep voice was filled with dull anger.

Li Yu was so shocked that he almost rolled off the bed, "Xiao Shizi?"

He quickly got up and opened the door, "What happened?"

Running to the general's mansion to look for him so late, could it be that something major happened in the army?
"But grandfather..." Li Yu's voice trembled.

Xiao Yichen had been at the border for three years and had a good relationship with the army. Li Yu instinctively thought that something happened at the border. Xiao Yichen was afraid of disturbing his grandmother and mother, so he came to him on purpose.

"There is nothing wrong with the border!"

Li Yu let out a long, suffocated breath, and patted his chest, "Fortunately, I'm fine, I was scared to death just now! Xiao Shizi, then why are you here?"

"Come out with me." Xiao Yichen said coldly, picked up Li Yu's collar, and jumped out of the general's mansion in twos or twos.

Li Yu was first strangled by the neckline, his breath was hard to breathe, and his face was flushed, and then he was so frightened that his legs were weak when he was flying up and down suddenly.

Although he secretly learned the three-legged cat kung fu from his mother a few times, but the three-legged cat kung fu is the three-legged cat kung fu. He is as light as a swallow, and he has never experienced it before.

Xiao Yichen took him to experience it without saying hello, and Li Yu's flushed face turned pale with fright.

He tried hard to keep his legs from trembling, "Xiao...Xiao Shizi, it's so late, you...you take me out...do...what?"

Li Yu felt ashamed of himself, his voice was trembling so much that the wind was leaking out, it would be worse if his legs were trembling, at least he was covered by his clothes, and it was night, so he couldn't see clearly.

The man opposite had an indifferent face, and the cold moonlight made his handsome face even more unparalleled. His thin lips were slightly parted, and his voice was as cold as ice, "If you are not firm in your will, run ten laps around the general's mansion!"

"What?" Li Yu suspected that he had misheard, why was his will not firm, what the hell?

What has he been up to lately?

He doesn't seem to be doing anything!Li Yu thought hard.

"Immediately, execute!" The man ordered coldly.

Li Yu didn't dare to disobey, with a bitter face and an inexplicable mood, he began to run resignedly to his fate.

If you want to talk about why he listens to Xiao Yichen so much, it's because he asked Xiao Yichen to teach him his three-legged cat kung fu two years ago.

At that time he was fourteen, Xiao Yichen said that his muscles and bones were already stiff and he was not suitable for martial arts, so he refused to teach him.

After struggling for a long time, he finally got Xiao Yichen to agree and taught him a few tricks.

With these few tricks, Li Yu regarded Xiao Yichen as half a master in his heart.

After running for a short while, Li Yu was out of breath.

In the past, when he was in the mansion, he didn't think how big the General's Mansion was. Now running around in circles, Li Yu wished that the General's Mansion could be reduced to the size of a pavilion, so that he wouldn't have to suffer such a strange crime.

When Li Yu finally ran ten laps and stopped in front of Xiao Yichen, big drops of sweat kept dripping from his forehead, and his whole body was soaked, as if he had been fished out of the water.

His legs seemed to be greatly frightened and trembled uncontrollably.

Li Yu panted heavily, "Xiao...Xiao Shizi, can...can you?"

Although he was simple and not stupid, he knew that he might have accidentally offended Xiao Yichen somewhere, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The man's eyes were like ice knives, falling on Li Yu's body, instantly scraping off the heat from his body, and a trace of coolness crawled in from the open pores, making him shiver several times.

"For the glory of your Li family, Old General Li, with his old, sick and disabled body, fought against the young and strong enemy at the border! For your marriage, your mother, regardless of gossip, brazenly inquired about suitable people everywhere! Do you know what they do? What are these for?"

Li Yu lowered his head in shame, "I know, as the only son of the Li family, I shoulder the heavy responsibility of continuing the blood of the Li family, and I dare not forget it for a day."

"Now that you know, don't make mistakes in the future and be confused by people you shouldn't. Xiao thinks you shouldn't be people and things like Xiao thinks!"

Li Yu looked up in astonishment, "Xiao Shizi, what are you talking about..."

Looking at the cold and indifferent glazed eyes, Li Yu changed his words tactfully, "What Xiao Shizi said is true, I will definitely remember it in my heart."

There was a long silence.

"Let's go back."

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and just when he was about to say goodbye, a dark blue flashed in front of his eyes, and Xiao Yichen had disappeared.

He opened his mouth wide and stared blankly for a moment, then belatedly remembered, how should he go back?

He can't fly.

Can't knock on the door either.

If he, who was supposed to be sleeping in the house, suddenly knocked on the door from the outside, it would be terrible for his mother to find out.

Fortunately, there is a dog hole dug for running out in the middle of the night to learn martial arts.

Li Yu sneaked in from the side door dog hole as appointed.

Hey, this miserable little life!

Inexplicably being caught from the bed and running around ten times, Li Yu was at a loss and couldn't figure out why.

It's not all bad, though.

After running ten laps, Li Yu, who was half dead from exhaustion, took a shower and changed clothes, fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed, and put aside tomorrow night's affairs completely.

-

Here, Lu Xinyan returned to the pomegranate yard, remembered something and ordered: "Qingtong, ask Uncle Tian tomorrow how Bingqiao and Agui's injuries are doing now."

Before Qingtong could answer, Nanny Lu, who brought her hot water, said, "Miss, you don't need to ask, I know."

Lu Xinyan looked at her in surprise, and Nanny Lu said: "Yesterday, I heard people say that on the eleventh night, at the place where Bingqiao and Agui were recuperating, there was a fire in the next room where children played with fire and burned three or four houses next door. The house and other houses are all fine, only Bingqiao and Agui are injured, they were burned to death before they could escape."

"What?" Lu Xinyan was taken aback, the coolness in her heart spread to her limbs, and her whole body was like falling into an ice cellar.

Nanny Lu rarely saw Lu Xinyan's groggy expression, she thought she couldn't bear to blame herself, and comforted her: "Now the weather is dry and fires are easy to break out. I have heard three cases in the past month, but Bingqiao and Ah It's just unlucky for you! The two of them committed capital crimes earlier, and the lady has already given them a slack. It's their fate that ended up like this, and the lady doesn't need to take it to heart!"

Lu Xinyan waved her hand in despair, "Understood, Mother Lu, you go down first."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Nanny Lu left, Bai Zhi asked, "Miss, do you suspect something?"

Lu Xinyan answered irrelevantly, "Qingtong, do you still remember what you said about venting your anger?"

Qingtong shook her head.

Lu Xinyan said: "You said, 'Don't allow Mrs. Lu to kill his dispensable uncle and young master just because he couldn't bear Madam's disrespect to her?' Do you remember this sentence?"

Qingtong thought for a while, "It seems that I said it, but I just said it casually at the time, and now it has been proved that the possibility of Lu's killing uncle and young master is very slim."

Lu Xin's face turned pale, and she asked, "Think about it, who has Madam offended recently?"

Bai Zhi said: "Madam has offended Lord Hou by causing Lord Hou to be incapable of impregnating a woman."

Lu Xinyan asked again: "Who did Bingqiao and Agui offend?"

"The two of you had an affair, and it was Lord Hou who offended you." "Miss, do you suspect that Lord Hou is the person behind the scenes?"

Bai Zhiqingtong spoke in unison.

Lu Xinyan said quietly: "Master Hou is certainly one of the suspects, but apart from him, there are other suspects in this mansion."

After thinking for a while, the two suddenly changed color and looked at each other.

"Miss, you doubt..." Bai Zhi asked cautiously.

"I don't know, I'm a little confused." Lu Xinyan shook her head, "I'll be alone, you guys go to rest first."

"Yes, miss." After Bai Zhiqingtong left, Lu Xinyan did not fall asleep, sat at the table and meditated for a long time, got up and put on a cloak, and left the pomegranate courtyard.

The moonlight was very bright, Lu Xinyan stepped on the moonlight and went to the Buddhist hall where the Jiang family was.

When Jiang came back from Jiang's residence, Uncle Fu, who was guarding the gate, told her that the old lady told her that there was no need to ask for peace, and that she could go back wherever she came from.

Originally, Jiang Shi planned to take this opportunity to ask Feng Shi to please her, pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic, and let Feng Shi release her.

In the end, Feng Shi didn't even see her, so he sent her back to the Buddhist hall directly, making it clear that he would not forgive him easily.

Jiang had no choice but to go back to the Buddhist hall bitterly.

Thinking about Jiang Huai and what happened in the past few days, Jiang was so angry, angry and sad that he couldn't sleep.

Boom boom, boom boom.

"Who is it?" Jiang frowned, who came to look for her in the middle of the night?

"Ma'am, it's me." Lu Xinyan outside said calmly.

At this time, in the small Buddhist hall, apart from Jiang Shi, there is not a maidservant, Jiang Shi remembered that today in Jiangfu, she insisted that it was Lu Xinyan who killed Jiang Huai, she was afraid that she was here to trouble her, how could she dare to open the door?
"What's the matter? I fell asleep." Jiang stood up to turn off the lights.

Looking at the silhouette of Jiang Shi getting up and blowing the lamp on the window, Lu Xinyan said calmly: "Bingqiao and Agui were burned to death on the eleventh night."

"Bingqiao and Agui died as soon as they died. What does it matter to me? I didn't send someone to do it. What do you want me to do?" Jiang's tone was very sharp, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, his voice was shrill and trembling, "What did you say?"

Lu Xinyan repeated: "Bingqiao and Agui were burned to death on the eleventh night, the night before your brother was killed."

"No, it's impossible, it's impossible..." Jiang said incoherently in the room, "No, it's impossible..."

"Ma'am," she said lightly and calmly, in this troubled night, it has a strange power to comfort people's hearts, "you open the door first, let me in, let's have a good talk."

At this time, Jiang was in a state of confusion, and was lured by the voice, so he opened the door involuntarily.

"Maybe, maybe it's just a coincidence." Jiang muttered, as if speaking to Lu Xinyan, but also as if speaking to herself.

"There are two possibilities." Lu Xinyan said calmly: "The first situation, the two things are not coincidences, they were deliberately done! The person who caused these two accidents is probably the person you guessed in your heart; the other situation Well, the two things are coincidences! The death of Bingqiao and Agui was an accident, and the death of your brother is a warning from the people behind you who are dissatisfied with your failure to frame me every time!"
