"This is a toxin from a fish from the sea that can make people covered with scales, like eagles and feet, delirious, and if there is no way, they will go crazy to death. ”

In the courtyard of the shallow flower pavilion, the girl stood in the center of the courtyard, calmly narrating, as if she was reading something that had nothing to do with her. Snowflakes fell on her shoulders and were reluctant.

And right in front of her, at the main entrance of the house sat the mistress of this mansion, Mrs. Li.

"These, how do you know?" The jade phoenix hairpin was lifelike, and the blue Buddha beads in her hand were shining, sitting there without being angry.

Tao Xi glanced at Li Xiangqing, who was sitting at the bottom of his wife, who was talking to the little maid, and seemed to be completely unaware that he was being questioned by his mother.

Tao Xi retracted his gaze, he had expected such a result, didn't he? If he helps, he will not necessarily be grateful, but will in turn be suspicious. But Tao Xi felt a little unusually sad at this moment.

Is it because of him?

The nobleman's purple clothes were still so bright, but Tao Xi gave up chasing the figure and gaze of that person.

"When I was a child, the people in the village ate such fish by mistake, and at that time there was a young woman in the village, and she healed the villagers in this way. As he spoke, Tao Xi spread out his palm, revealing the gold in his palm,

"The five elements are born together, so they use gold. ”

The gold in Tao Xi's hand was only a small piece, but it was carved into the shape of a fish.

"Where did this gold come from?"

Mrs. Li glanced at it and asked, the Buddhist beads in her hand slowly turned, but it gave people a sense of oppression.

Tao Xi lowered her eyes, and she didn't mean to open her mouth at all, but from Li Xiangqing's angle, she could see her biting lips.

And after a while, as if she had made up her mind, she raised her head, and her calm eyes faced Mrs. Li above.

"Madame......"

"Mother. ”

Two voices sounded at the same time, Tao Xi looked at Li Xiangqing in surprise, and the latter said slowly, "Now that my father is fine, this is the most important thing, my mother also tossed for a night, and turned around and asked Imperial Doctor Xu to give you a prescription to calm your nerves, just in case, as for other people's affairs, we still don't want to ask." ”

Seeing her children speaking for others, Mrs. Li was puzzled and inevitably looked at Tao Xi's appearance more. Xiangqing actually opened her mouth, which was beyond her expectations. It was a little strange when the girl raised her head just now, could it ...... Did she make up her mind to leave?

The secret that she has to protect even if she leaves, the thing that she can't lose even if she lives on the street, is this what Xiangqing wants to hide for her?

In an instant, Mrs. Li thought of another situation.

"Today's matter, thank you, it's not early, Miss Tao will rest for the time being, let's talk about other things tomorrow, what do you think?"

"Madame arranges that's it. ”

"Songzhi, send Miss Tao to Xianyueju to rest. ”

"No. ”

The maid named Songzhi was Mrs. Li's personal person, and she led Tao Xi out of the door, and when she turned around, Tao Xi couldn't help but glance at the person before leaving.

After the two left, Mrs. Li put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and swept her gaze over the other people present.

"No one is allowed to spread today's incident, if it is known to people outside, let me find out who leaked the news, don't blame me, the housewife, for being ruthless. ”

Mrs. Li has always been kind-hearted when she eats fasting and recites Buddha, and if this incident is spread out, it will have a great impact on the lord's official authority, so it is natural for her to have such a resolute attitude.

"No. Everyone said in unison.

"Madame, don't worry, we will be tight-lipped, just ......" Steward Cui was interrupted by Mrs. Li when he was about to say something,

"The last few days of the injured have been mainly recuperation, and it is not early, so let's go and rest. Steward Cui, Xiangqing, you stay. ”

"No, Mrs. Xie is compassionate!"

The injured family members were helped out of the yard in twos and threes, but fortunately, their arms and legs had been bandaged and prescribed medicine by Dr. Zhang invited by Mingxing, and they could recover as long as they rested for a few days.

Li Xiangqing looked at Steward Cui, who was left behind, and listened to him,

"Madam, it's hard to guarantee that other people in the mansion won't know about today's matter, this ......" Steward Cui finished saying Fang Cai's words, and Mrs. Li waved her hand,

"I have my own way, Steward Cui has something else to do?"

Mrs. Li glanced at him, and then said, "Since it's okay, let's rest early, Steward Cui has been working hard for a long time, and now he is injured, if there is anything that needs to be erranded, it doesn't hurt to hand it over to someone else." Your hard work, the lord sees it. ”

Decades of loyal servants, no one with a clear eye and a clear heart will not be treated badly, after Steward Cui left, Mrs. Li finally stood up, and Li Xiangqing hurriedly stepped forward to help her mother into the house,

"My mother tossed all night, and she had to appease the people in the house, which was really hard. ”

An outstanding son is a source of pride for Mrs. Lee, but the constant perfection makes people feel alienated and even stressed.

"Although I don't know what's so special about that child, since you want to keep her, my mother will naturally not let you down. Every word and deed is a loving mother, Mrs. Li patted her son's hand affectionately, her eyes were full of love and care,

"It's just that I see that the child's temperament is not very pleasant, if it is in an ordinary place in the house, I am afraid it is not a place to stay for a long time. ”

Tao Xi's cold eyebrows, Mrs. Li saw in her eyes, and there was stubbornness and hiding.

It's not a good thing for a ten-year-old child to go through too much, at least she wants her son to be happy, healthy, and safe. This is perhaps the wish of any mother.

"If the mother is worried about this, it would be good to put her by her son's side, first, she will have a place to live, second, she will not let the family say that she has wronged the person who saved her father, and third, she will ......."

Li Xiangqing didn't speak, but noticed a faint smile on the corner of his mother's lips, as if he had expected him to say this.

"Three, she has you in her eyes, but my mother still has to ask, if she wants to be a master in this house, it is not impossible, my mother only has another daughter. ”

A sentence that she has you in her eyes surprised Li Xiangqing, but she was also a little more happy.

"Go ahead, I'll take care of your father here. ”

"No, the mother rests early, and the son goes back first. ”

"Go ahead. ”

Looking at the back of Li Xiangqing leaving, Qi's mother walked over, held Mrs. Li's hand, and said, "What is Madam looking at?"

"It's nothing, children's affairs have their own children's creation, and what I can do is to try to maintain a huge mansion. ”

"In a few days, the eldest young master will marry a wife, but he can help his wife share his worries. Qi's mother said.

"Well, the sonin-law of the Marquis Ning Bo Mansion has always been virtuous, and I think it will be much easier for me when I come. ”
