It's a Red-faced Disaster, and I'm Also Very Disappointed.

Thinking of this, Xia Li stopped thinking too much.

I found a dignified and decent dress, and called the maids so that they could put it on and make up a little by themselves.After all, Lu Man is lustful, so she naturally has to dress appropriately.

--Well......

—— Find a chance to show the other party's true face again, and it should be completely settled.

Xia Li did not forget how Lu Man saw her for the first time, she was so greedy that her saliva almost flowed out, but fortunately she covered it quickly, otherwise Lu Man would make a fool of herself on the spot.

"Mrs. Sheng, please stay longer."

"Ok?"

After Xia Li finished tidying up and walked out of Taoyuan, the sound of slightly hurried footsteps suddenly came from her side.

She turned her head, and it was a maid she had never seen before.

The perceived cultivation level is actually fourth grade, which is higher than her own, so her status in the Lu Mansion must be extraordinary.

—— Lu Man's people?Or Cheng Qian's?

After several days of secret observation, Xia Li discovered that Xiang Yi had no confidants.

The Maid of Meiyuan was soaked and riddled with holes...

As for the servants in this mansion, more than half are loyal to Lu Man, and the other half are loyal to Cheng Qian.The remaining three or five are old people who have followed the previous palace master, and their strength is not bad.

Just do the job of looking after the house and keep neutral.

"You are......?"

Thoughts were spinning in my mind, but Xia Li kept her face calm and asked with a trace of doubt naturally.

"Returning to Mrs. Sheng, the servant girl is Mrs. Qian's personal maid, Xiao Qi."

Hearing Sheng Sheng's question, the maid bowed respectfully, as if she really respected her as a wife.Then he quickly continued to explain, his articulate words were clear, and he spoke in a leisurely manner.

"...Master Lu Man specially hosted a banquet for Mrs. Sheng, and this time invited three other Lord Yin Generals to accompany her. Please take a bath and change clothes to go to the banquet, so as to show off Mrs. Lu Man's face."

heard here.

Xia Li figured it out.

He left in a hurry halfway that day, probably because Lu Man felt a little sorry for her, so he organized a more grand reception banquet again.In addition, it also has the meaning of showing off.

Lu Man had seen her true face.

so......

Occasionally get a peerless beauty, how can we not share the joy of being a seal?

Of course, other people can't see it, so I guess it can make you feel better.

——but... is it true or not?

Since Sheng Sheng had sensed that there would be a conspiracy on Cheng Qian's side in advance, Sheng Sheng naturally couldn't be careless.

——should be true.

After a little thought, she came to a conclusion.

One, the maid calls herself Cheng Qian.

If it was fake, he would have to pretend to be Lu Man's maid in order to gain his trust.Openly admitted that this means that this is not a conspiracy but an overt conspiracy.

Sure to see the light...

both.

The maid was articulate and calm.

This matter also involved three other yin generals. Even Cheng Qian would never dare to lie or cheat, otherwise it would not be fruitful for her to spread the word. It is not a trivial matter to fake the name of a yin general.

"Where is the banquet?"

"Return to Mrs. Sheng's words, in Weilanju."

Weilanju is a restaurant in Renwang City. Although it is not the largest, it is the most luxurious. Human beings and ordinary ghosts are not allowed to enter, and they do not use coins for consumption, but Yin jade.

——Looks like Lu Man listened to someone's rhetoric and wanted to show off there.

Sheng Sheng thought to himself.

This is not a good thing for her.

Because, the more you can fly, the easier it is to pounce!

Chapter 31 Seeing the tricks

The bathroom has always been guarded by dedicated servants, even if it is not in use, the water temperature should be maintained for bathing.

Maybe it's because of the haunting memories before time travel, or because of her personality...Xia Li likes to take a bath alone, even if she wants to take a bath with other people, she must have a very close relationship.Not long after she became the young lady of the Xia Mansion, she explicitly refused the service of the maids, with the excuse that she was no longer a child at the age of six.

"Wei Lan lives in front of the public, so if Cheng Qian wants to deal with me, she definitely can't do it, she can only use tricks."

"...But, what the hell is she thinking?"

After letting all the maids go out, only Xia Li was left in the bathroom.

These days, the maids all know that Mrs. Sheng doesn't like being served by others when she takes a bath, so they all leave voluntarily.

In the quiet bathroom room, there was light smoke and mist curling up.The girl didn't take off her clothes for the first time and went into the bath, but stared at the petals floating on the water.

She is thinking about Qi Chengqian's "chess way"...

After seven days of understanding, Xia Li understood that Lv Man's harem was managed by Xiang Yi on the surface, but in fact Cheng Qian had the final say.Moreover, the latter has a high prestige in the army that Lu Man belongs to... Such a person is by no means simply capable of fighting for favor in the backyard.

In other words.

If Cheng Qian fell in love with Lu Man and was determined to have Lord Yin Jiang alone, then she should have taken the initiative to eradicate Xiang Yidu and clean up the backyard thoroughly!

If she doesn't have a deep affection for Lu Man and just uses this relationship to develop and consolidate her own status.

Then you shouldn't meddle in the internal affairs of the Lu Mansion...

But in fact, Cheng Qian got rid of the beautiful ghosts around Lu Man one by one, leaving behind Xiang Yi.But the hostility towards her, Xia Li, was very obvious, and she had to be targeted in a hurry when she first entered the mansion.

--why?

Stopping by the bathing pool to think for a while, the doubts in Sheng Sheng's eyes gradually disappeared, and she had a bold guess in her heart.

However, whether this is the case remains to be further corroborated.

"Well, let's clean up first."

"I'm going to Weilanju to meet Cheng Qian and see how many evil generals face to face. What embarrassment is she going to give me?"

Xia Li sneered in her heart...

The other party may not know how deep Lu Man's obsession was at that moment when he saw her eyes.If she is only made to embarrass her in front of many people, not only will Lu Man not underestimate her, but she will feel more pity for it.

— hum.

Thinking of Cheng Qian's disappointed expression after her trick failed, the corners of the girl's lips curled up in secret pleasure.

While chuckling, she walked to the wooden frame beside the bath, ready to take off her clothes...but at the moment when this action started, she stopped suddenly.

Candlesticks!

Each of the four corners of this bathroom has a copper candlestick...  

This copper candlestick is in the shape of a column, and there is a bayonet for placing a long candle in the center of the copper plate unfolded at the top.Speaking of which, this thing was designed by Xia Li herself.

Here is Taoyuan.

It's called Lu's Mansion, but it's actually the former Xia's Mansion!

The Taoyuan bathroom had always been exclusive to Xia Li during his lifetime.When she was ten years old, the house was renovated and rebuilt on the grounds that the place she lived in was not beautiful.

From the layout of the rooms in Taoyuan, to the placement of trees and flowers, to the vanity mirror in the master bedroom, to the copper candlesticks in the corner of the bathroom...all of them are designed by her, and Hua Shuangxue finds someone else to make them .

If she wasn't so familiar, she would have fallen into that Cheng Qian's trick at this moment!

—Yes, cub.

The arc of the girl's lips became larger.

The original pleasant smile became colder, and his eyes were gloomy, containing vague anger.

Until this moment, Xia Li finally figured out Cheng Qian's plan today...

The other party first used Wei Lanju's welcome banquet as a bait to attract almost all of her attention.Even if Xia Li was vigilant at the beginning, the main direction of her defense was shifted to the subsequent banquet.

In addition, when Cheng Qian made arrangements for Xiao Min and other confidantes, she might have expected that these maids would show their signs.Without professional training, emotional traits are underlying moods that are difficult to fake.Cheng Qian expected this, so she simply followed her plan.

This guy is not afraid that Xia Li will be on guard, because he is very confident that Xia Li's defense will be useless!

In fact.

almost so...

If Xia Li wasn't the original owner of this Taoyuan, she wasn't the executor who renovated this bathroom with her own hands.She will never discover the secrets in it!

—Brass candlestick, turned.

Yes.

The candlesticks in the Taoyuan bath room, corresponding to the two candlesticks on the left and right sides of the bath, can be moved.

The long support of the copper candlestick is painted with silver lines on one side and gold lines on the other side... The gold line faces the corner of the wall, so the bathroom and the secret passage hidden under it are locked.

The gold lines are all facing outward, and vice versa.

Xia Li, who was about to take off her clothes just now, subconsciously glanced at the copper candlestick, and found that the gold thread was facing outward.

Let her know that the candlestick has been touched!

In the past few days, when she took a bath, the gold thread was facing inward.

She has a habit of looking at the gold and silver threads of the candlesticks before taking a bath... After all, she supervised the construction of the secret path. At first, she thought that Xia Ye would rob the relics and treasures from outsiders and provoke powerful enemies. If the enemy came to Renwang City to destroy Xia Yeman's gate, it would be a bad situation in which the city gate caught fire and affected the fish in the pond.

It was specially built so that she could escape through secret passages in case of emergency...

It's a pity that it has not been used.

The girl counted so many times, she didn't even think that even Renwang Castle fell.
