289 Traces

Raising his eyes and seeing that it was not early, and in another hour it would be the time for the prince to marry, Liu Xuanchen faked coughing twice, so that both of them came back to their senses, and then spoke unhurriedly:

"That, Brother Xu, do you know that today is the day when the prince marries?"

Hearing this, Xu Li's eyes slipped a trace of puzzlement, and a happy smile appeared behind him:

"Is the prince marrying? Is it because he and Man'er are getting married? But why haven't I heard the news from home?"

Xu Li was happy, but he couldn't help but show a puzzled look on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Xuanchen shook his head, and then sighed softly:

"Brother Xu, you misunderstood, the prince is not marrying a concubine, but a side concubine. ”

"What?

The loud voice attracted the surrounding passers-by, who frequently looked back and watched.

Seeing this, Liu Xuanchen hurriedly pulled Xu Li up the steps for a few steps, and then suppressed his voice and said:

"Be quiet, I don't know the specifics, I only know that the emperor issued a holy decree three days ago, saying that today the prince will marry Bai Muci, the eldest daughter of Ding'an Houfu, as a side concubine. ”

"It's... How is this possible? The crown prince hasn't even married the main concubine yet, so how can he marry the side concubine and enter the door? Where is this going to be Man'er? Didn't Man'er say anything?" Xu Li's chest rose and fell.

Hearing this, Liu Xuanchen couldn't help but shake his head, and then frowned and said:

"I don't know about this, anyway, I didn't hear what Man'er said, and I only came back from Tongxiang yesterday, and I don't know what the situation in the capital is now. ”

After Xu Li heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and there was a burst of uneasiness in his heart, and he and Liu Xuanchen were silent.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Liu Xuanqin looked at the expressions of the two, and then spoke cautiously:

"Third brother, Gongzi Xu, we are all standing at the gate of the Taishou Mansion now, we might as well go in first and have a look, if you see Miss Yu, it's not too late to say anything. ”

Hearing this, Xu Li came back to his senses violently, nodded to Liu Xuanqin and said:

"Yes, yes, I forgot to be standing at Man'er's doorstep now. Brother Liu, Miss Liu, let's go into the Taishou Mansion and have a look. ”

"Okay, Brother Xu, please. Liu Xuanchen made a gesture of invitation to Xu Li.

"Brother Liu, please, Miss Liu, please. Xu Li followed politely, and stepped forward to knock the knocker of the Taishou Mansion.

After the door was slammed, it was opened from the inside after a few moments, and then the face of the old butler was revealed.

The old man of the housekeeper couldn't help but pause when he saw three young men and women with extraordinary bearings and noble clothes standing outside the door.

Liu Xuanchen's light cough brought the old man back to his senses, and when he looked closely, he found that it was Liu Gongzi who had been sending oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and silver money to the house since the past three months.

There is also a cousin of the eldest lady, Xu Gongzi of the General's Mansion, and the other girl looks extremely beautiful, but she doesn't know what her identity is.

But seeing that several people were coming together, the old man of the housekeeper hurriedly pushed open the door, walked to Xu Li and bowed:

"The old slave has seen Xu Gongzi and Liu Gongzi. ”

"Housekeeper, is the eldest lady in the mansion?" Xu Li couldn't wait to ask.

Hearing this, the old man of the housekeeper was stunned at first, and then shook his head:

"Back to Mr. Xu, the eldest lady is not in the house. ”

"Not in the mansion? So where is she now? Did she go to the general's mansion?"

"No, Master Xu, the eldest lady has never come back. ”

"How is this possible? Obviously, the divine doctor Lu Baile is ......," Xu Li said as he stopped, and there seemed to be a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Xuanchen on the side also felt a little uneasy in his heart, but his face was still calm and said to the old man housekeeper:

"Steward Wang, is your lady here, take us to meet her first." ”

"Madame is here, Madame is here, Liu Gongzi Xu Gongzi please, the old slave will take you to see Madame." The old butler nodded hurriedly.

Seeing this, Liu Xuanchen nodded, pushed Xu Li, who was standing in place, gave him a look, and then raised his feet and walked towards the house.

The old man of the housekeeper invited a few people to Heyanju, and ordered the maid to bring tea and snacks, and then went to Pingyuan to report to the Feng family.

Feng Shi got the news, hurriedly felt the crane Yanju, looked at Xu Li and the others were stunned for a moment, and then eased his mind and slowly walked into the room and smiled at a few people:

"I just heard Steward Wang say that Liu Gongzi and Xu Gongzi are here, I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true, a few people are really rare guests, please bear with me if I am slack. ”

As Feng spoke, he curtched slightly to a few people.

Seeing this lady who was carried from her aunt to the main room, she was still cautious in her words, spoke respectfully and politely, and thought that she was her depressed biological mother, Xu Li couldn't help but feel a little good, waved her hand to Feng and said softly:

"Madame is polite, we came uninvited, Madame doesn't blame us for being abrupt. ”

"How could it be? Xu Gongzi and Liu Gongzi are willing to come to the Humble House, which really makes the Taishou Mansion shine, and I can't even be happy. Feng Shi smiled lightly, and then cautiously walked to the main seat and sat down.

Liu Xuanchen saw Feng sitting down, so he put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head and looked at Feng Zhengse:

"Madam, I came here today to ask you something. ”

Seeing that Xu Li and Liu Xuanchen were both serious, Feng couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.

In the tightly clenched fists, there was already a faint sweat, but he still made a calm appearance on his face and spoke:

"Oh, what's the matter? Liu Gongzi might as well say it directly. ”

Liu Xuanchen's eyes were like torches, and he could see Feng's nervousness, and he couldn't help but show a smile, trying to dispel Feng's uneasiness:

"Madam, don't be nervous, we don't want to ask you anything else, but want to ask if the eldest lady in your house has been back?"

Hearing that Liu Xuanchen was asking Yu Manman, Feng Shi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that they would ask something.

Seeing that Xu Li, Liu Xuanchen, and the beautiful girl were all staring at him tightly, Feng cleared his slightly hoarse throat, shook his head at a few people, and said:

"No, the eldest lady has not returned since she left home three months ago. ”

"Madam, are you sure?Man'er, she never came back?" Xu Li asked in disbelief.

"Xu Gongzi, I will never dare to lie about this, dozens of people up and down the Taishou Mansion can testify, and the eldest lady has never returned. Feng looked serious.

Hearing this, Xu Li still didn't believe it in his heart, and couldn't help but continue to ask:

"If she didn't come back, then why would Doctor Lu enter the palace to treat the third prince?

After hearing this, Feng Shi couldn't help frowning slightly, and thought carefully before speaking:

"I don't know about this, I always thought that the eldest lady was delayed on the way, so she would come back a little later than the road doctor. ”

After Liu Xuanchen and Xu Li heard this, a trace of disbelief slipped in their eyes.
