As soon as Xing Peng entered the study, he sat in the first position. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 With a cold face, he looked at Li Jiangyuan, who followed behind.

"Father-in-law." Li Jiangyuan had an elegant smile on his face, and sat down at the bottom of him, "Why did you come to Gaoyang in person?" If there is anything, ask someone to call your son-in-law to your house. ”

Xing Peng didn't speak, just looked at Li Jiangyuan, his eyes didn't move, his eyes were cold, and he didn't have any temperature.

"What kind of tea do you drink?" I'll send people to soak it, and that's it. Li Jiangyuan still had the same smile on his face, and his tone was also earnest, "But I was negligent, I have to arrange someone to clean up the guest house for you first." You come, Rong Niang doesn't know yet, her temperament, if she knows that you are coming, I don't know how happy she should be. ”

"Come on, go and tell Madame, just say that your father-in-law is here, and tell her to make proper arrangements." Li Jiangyuan said, then stretched out his hand and beckoned, and the kid under the corridor heard the words and beat a thousand children, so he trotted and turned away.

"Ma'am? I don't know which lady it is. Xing Peng smiled, his face was still as cold as frost.

"Naturally, it's Rong Niang." The smile on Li Jiangyuan's face has not changed, it is still the same, and there is a look of doubt in his eyes, as if he doesn't understand why Xing Peng has this question, "You are here, you should be entertained by her Mrs. Hou." ”

"But I heard that your middle feed from the Yuanhou Mansion is not in the hands of the old lady, nor is it in the hands of Rong Niang, it seems to be in the hands of your widowed sister-in-law, yes or no?" Xing Peng asked in a non-hurried tone, but he didn't go around in circles with Li Jiangyuan, and asked bluntly, "Rong Niang, Mrs. Hou, can you really arrange the affairs of an old man like me?" ”

"Mrs. Hui'an is indeed in charge of the Hou Mansion." The smile on Li Jiangyuan's face was a little thin in an instant, and a pair of eyes did not look at Xing Peng, but fell on the Duobao Pavilion, "This middle gift was originally given to her by her mother." When I succeeded Guiyuanhou, I had not yet married Rong Niang, so she took the helm of Zhongfang. Now, she is alone and widowed, and she has no sons and half daughters under her knees. As for Rong Niang, Shizi and Ci Niang, they are not very old, she raised two children, it is inevitable that she lacks skills, and it may not be bad if she doesn't feed in the palm of her hand. ”

Xing Peng listened to him say this long paragraph, but he sneered when he landed, and the look on his face was as indifferent as a blade. Although he didn't make any moves, Li Jiangyuan also knew that his father-in-law was afraid that he was already angry at this time, and he couldn't contain it.

"Zhongfeng does the repatriation, or you pity Rong Niang, this is the first time I have heard this kind of truth. It's your family's business, and I don't want to ask. But there is another thing, and you must explain to me, why did my grandson, your eldest son, fall into the water a few days ago? Why did the word mother raise it with Mrs. Hui'an? What about my daughter? ”

Li Jiangyuan sighed secretly, he knew that Xing Peng was not good at this time, but such a sharp Xingshi questioning was also beyond his expectations.

"Father-in-law, as you said, Baocheng is my eldest son, and even more so my only son. This huge Guiyuan Marquis Mansion has only such an inheritor. I want him better than anyone else, and I fear that something will happen to him more than anyone else. Li Jiangyuan smiled bitterly and sighed, "After Baocheng fell into the water, I immediately called someone to investigate." You also know that this matter is not a glamorous and beautiful thing, and I think you also know the selfishness in the big house. For the sake of the face of the Guiyuan Marquis's Mansion, no matter what, it is impossible for me to publicly punish this person who has done dirty things. ”

"But now, since you are running this trip yourself for this matter, my son-in-law can't hide it from you. In the final analysis, you and I are both elders of Baocheng, and the hearts to be Baocheng are the same. Even if I shake off the ugliness, I have to give you an account. Li Jiangyuan saw Xing Peng's gloomy complexion, which eased a little, although he still looked angry, how much better he was, so he continued, "You also know that in the Hou Mansion, I, the previous Hou Ye, and the current Hou Fu Second Master are all compatriots of the same mother. There is only the third brother, not his mother. I was an unlearned person in my early years, if it weren't for the eldest brother who went early, and the second brother who didn't care about these officialdoms, no matter what, I wouldn't have been able to sit in the position of the distant marquis. My third brother is ambitious and talented, and when my father was there, he was also very fond of him. If it weren't for the identity of this concubine, this Hou Mansion might not be his. ”

"You mean, the third master of the Guiyuan Marquis Mansion plotted to kill his nephew?" Xing Peng raised his eyebrows slightly, and then interrupted Li Jiangyuan's words, "But even if Baocheng is dead, you are still alive, what can he get?" ”

"What if there is collusion between inside and outside?" Li Jiangyuan sighed, his expression was serious, and he looked at Xing Peng's eyes, full of sincerity and worry, "When you are in the future, the little son-in-law doesn't know that it is already like this outside. I don't know where you heard the secrets of my mansion. Not to mention the side, it is the matter of the word mother, in fact, it is not as complicated as you think. Baocheng fell into the water, and his wife was with him day and night in front of the bed, and the word mother was young and could not be left unattended. She has always gotten along well with Mrs. Hui'an, the eldest aunt, so I will take her over and raise her for a few days. Let's say, if it's not for the side, it's for the future of the word mother, and it is naturally the best to raise it in front of the biological mother, how can I be confused? ”

"Internal and external collusion? What you mean is that people outside are meddling in your Hou Mansion and even the entire Longxi. Xing Peng raised his eyebrows and smiled, a face that was not young, but it was not against the harmony to make this expression.

"The son-in-law does have this guess." Li Jiangyuan nodded, "After all, Qingyuan is not pleasing to the eye in Longxi, and it is not a day or two. The juniors of Qingyuan's generation can also be regarded as full of talents, and if they want to get ahead, they must make a difference. And now, they are the ones who made a fuss. This fire, perhaps sooner than we thought, will burn to Longxi. ”

"Listening to the meaning of your words, it seems that you want to take the Li family and resist to the end." Xing Peng's speed of speech was still unhurried, and his tone was also cold, "In this way, the entire Longxi will be involved by you, yes or no?" ”

"Father-in-law, what is stubbornness? Your Majesty's edict is missing, and those who are courtiers must naturally be loyal. To be loyal is to make this untrustworthy will not be carried out, so that you can keep your majesty's sanctity. As a courtier, and admonishing the king, he should not hesitate to do so. Li Jiangyuan said this with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, but there was a completely inconsistent smile on his face, "You say, but so?" (To be continued.) )
