Lu Li actually didn't want to go to Pingwangfu at all. It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I feel troublesome.

After being in Shangjing for half a year, Lu Li learned all kinds of information that expressed the same meaning: Zhao Zhu's stepmother is a special housefighter. House fighting, as the name suggests, no matter whether this woman is smart or stupid, scheming or foolish, her life probably revolves around a fighting word, or is she living in a square inch.

As the saying goes, people go to high places, water flows low and live, no matter when, people are not satisfied, they will put their eyes on high places, hoping to live a better life. Lu Li didn't know what life Lu Li had before the step-concubine, but now she is a widow and has a powerful stepson who has inherited the prince, and then compared to her own son, who looks much worse...... It's normal to want to plan more things for your parents and children.

She is a woman, she can't be an official and can't fight, and there are too few things she can do outside, so she just uses all her heart and soul on the house fight?

The general mind of people who are good at fighting at home is very sensitive, and they think deeply, and if you say a word, people have thousands of 800 interpretations, and there are many hidden meanings in a word...... It's not that Lu Li can't deal with it, or he is too tired to deal with this matter with all his heart.

With this time, he might as well read two more books!

If he is a concubine who begs for a living under his mother-in-law, or if he is weak, he has to rely on people to build up power, there is no way, and he has to do it if he feels troublesome. But now, he hasn't married Zhao Shu yet, it's time to be free; Second, Zhao Zhu inherited the prince of Ping, was favored by the emperor, held heavy power, and according to the etiquette law, let the stepbrother leave the palace with his stepmother and let others say nothing; Third, Zhao Zhu has no sisters who may be affected by coercion......

Lu Li didn't understand, what did the concubine do? In this case, shouldn't we take good care of Zhao Zhu, and everyone lives in harmony, so that it is a win-win situation? The mode of getting along with yourself should be out of sight and out of mind, everyone, don't mess with me, I won't mess with you, calm place, peace is the best.

But this concubine has been tossing......

Lu Li has a current report.

Baibaolou's main business now is to auction treasures, but before it was a news business, don't be too familiar with the doorway. Zhao Shu felt that those things at home were annoying, and he could suppress them again, so he didn't talk to Lu Li. Qian Kun and Hu Weiwei are not at ease, and they pay attention to the master's living environment at any time!

From time to time, they reported to Lu Li.

There are years of past, such as the step-concubine looks gentle and courteous, but she is actually very good at coaxing people, and the coaxing Lao Ping King only likes the youngest son and does not like the eldest son, and he doesn't even pay attention to the death of the concubine in the family; For example, Zhao Shu was only eleven years old, so she put all kinds of goblin-like girls into his room in an attempt to seduce him; For example, Zeng stretched his hand very long, bought Zhao Zhu's personal guard at the border gate, and wanted to put a cold arrow on his back to kill him during the war...... Usually, entering the palace and quietly applying eye medicine in front of all kinds of characters is a trivial matter.

There are recent incidents, such as knowing Zhao Zhu's marriage contract, and pretending to care about him without a queen, entering the palace and begging, saying bad things about the one in front of him, but the grandfather was born to continue the incense heir, and she didn't mention the male wife or anything, but just asked her to choose a girl for Zhao Zhu; Pick a girl for Zhao Shu to find a short one head everywhere, and show Zhao Xi a daughter-in-law to get a famous family, preferably the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter, and wipe her tears at the end: I also want to find a good one for Zhu'er, but who is willing to give the pearl in the palm to a male wife as a concubine?

She also actively participated in various banquets, saying that she would not be able to enjoy the blessings of her daughter-in-law, so she simply took on a little more to support the family. The daughter-in-law didn't see her once in Beijing, and she also said that she didn't mind, but the two children had a good relationship, and the boy was different from the girl's family, with distant ambitions and great ability, and it was normal for her to not like to go to the back house to serve her mother-in-law, although her mother-in-law tried her best to plan a lot for them......

As for Zhao Xi, he followed in the footsteps of the concubine, seemed to be polite, and tried to establish a good image of gentleness, courtesy and frugality for himself, but in fact, he jumped up and down, and almost said it when he was thinking about it.

……

Like all this, Lu Li didn't believe that Concubine Ji was thinking about Zhao Shu at all, and hoped that he would be more troublesome and want to see the excitement.

The more Zhao Shu makes jokes, the more her stepmother can show her courtesy, and she can also take advantage of it by the way. Maybe one day Zhao Zhu died, and she pushed her hand again, and the emperor reprimanded the king of Ping for letting her son attack?

Hu Weiwei was very angry when she said: "Before we met, she scolded her master openly and secretly, accusing her master of seducing men, being flattering, and unfilial...... is not a serious mother-in-law, how big is her face! ”

To sum up, Lu Li really didn't want to see this step-concubine at all. The step-concubine obviously doesn't like him, and he doesn't have the time to play house fights with her, he is very busy, and he has a bunch of cases in his hands, so he really has no time.

Moreover, he is a man who has his own established career direction, has a goal to strive for, and is interested in breaking down the gains and losses of trivial words in life, and scheming to calculate this and that...... I'm really not interested.

After the Shou Anbo Mansion case, a bunch of new questions appeared, but the clues could not be found, he was anxious and angry, just happened to meet the change of seasons, and had a small illness. After he recovered from his illness, he was not idle, and while continuing to follow up with Zhao Zhu, he strengthened contact with the Qu family.

Because of the incident of Wenjiabao, he always felt that the death of his mother Miao Hongxiao might also be related to the treasure map, the Qu family didn't know much, but there were some clues, he hoped to find the place where Miao Hongxiao stayed last and see if he could know something.

The Qu family felt that the results of relying only on themselves might not be accurate, and reminded that Miao Hongxiao had two extremely close close friends, one was Mrs. Huai Lan Xin, and the other was Mrs. Zhang Sanniang of Wu'an Hou Cuiluo, Miao Hongxiao wrote a letter to Lan Xin before she died, but when she was close to Beijing, she seemed to have seen Zhang Sanniang!

Mrs. Huai Lu Li has seen it, and he has also heard of the name Zhang Sanniang, but he was in a hurry, and he forgot about it! hurriedly prepared to visit, but unfortunately Zhang Sanniang went out of Beijing to worship her ancestors and didn't see ......

Miao Hongxiao is a very smart person, but as long as there is an arrangement, there will be no back door for people to find out the flaws, even with the help of the Qu family, it is very difficult to determine the location. Lu Li finally circled three locations, but so far, he has only gone to one, and the result is still very disappointing.

So he's busy, very busy, and he can't wait for twenty-four hours a day so he can do something!

……

On this day, Zhao Shu was summoned into the palace by the emperor, Lu Li was busy for several days, and was persuaded by Hu Weiwei, who couldn't look at it, to go to the street, saying that no matter how healthy a person is, he will be locked in the house every day, and sooner or later he will get sick.

Lu Li also knew that it was too late, and the truth that things were slow and round, the body was the capital of the revolution and should be cherished, so he was accompanied by Hu Weiwei to go shopping.

said that he was shopping, but he was actually watching Hu Weiwei go shopping with great interest. He also thought about whether to find Shen Wansha, but the next person replied that Shen Wansha went to the Honglu Pavilion to find the princess......

It was at this time that the people who succeeded the concubine found him.

At that time, the street was full of people, bustling, a neatly dressed mother and two delicate little girls knelt straight in front of him, "Please, go to the palace to have a look!" The concubine has been thinking about you, and you never said anything if you didn't go to see you, but now your aunt has gone to the house, saying that she hasn't seen you for nearly two years, and she especially wants to see you. ”

Lu Li was startled, this is looking for him?

He didn't know it, but Hu Weiwei did. She narrowed her beautiful eyes, leaned into Lu Li's ear and whispered: "The older one is the personal mother of the step-concubine of the Ping Wangfu, surnamed Wang, and the two younger ones are also the big maids in the room." ”

Just to speak, many people were already shocked by Wang's mother's overly intense action language and surrounded them.

Mother Wang kowtowed to Lu Li again and again, "Please, the concubine doesn't dare to be unfavorable to you...... The old slave is offended and collided with this trip, and he will also ask for his own guilt later, just ask you to raise your feet and go over and have a look! ”

Lu Li almost applauded, looking at other people's threatening skills, this looks pitiful in front of everyone...... If Lu Li hadn't been the one she knelt down to, it was estimated that she would have complained about her.

What kind of master raises what kind of subordinate, just this one, Lu Li has a guess about the character of this step-concubine.

Hu Weiwei asked Lu Li seriously, "Shall we go directly, or will we beat them up before leaving?" In her opinion, it is impossible for the master to go to the palace, and this breath cannot be bearable, she has a chance of winning if she quarrels and fights back, but she has to ask the master what he means, is it to be disabled or to keep a breath?

There were a lot of onlookers, and there were a lot of whispers around them. Lu Li has been solving the case for a long time, and there is one thing he doesn't like the most: he doesn't want his private affairs to become the talk of others, especially those that have been misinterpreted.

Although public opinion can be guided and used, he still doesn't like it. It's like putting yourself on the table and breaking it down, letting others stare at it, this is your heart, this is your lungs, your heart is like this, your lungs are like that...... Something like that.

He tried his best to solve this problem, and he also wanted to know what Feng was doing in the Pingwang Mansion...... So he agreed.

Hu Weiwei's eyes widened, and she was shocked, "Lord, master, are you going?" His voice stammered.

Lu Li smiled and bowed, "Hmm." ”

"But the prince is not ......"

"Depends on him for everything, won't he die of exhaustion?" Lu Li looked at Hu Weiwei with a smile, "Or when you get to the Pingwang Mansion, you can't protect me?" ”

Hu Weiwei's delicate chin was raised high, "How is it possible!" ”

"That's not it."

Lu Li thought as he spoke. No matter what happened to Zhao Zhu, he would not be in a bad mood to kill a woman to vent his anger, since the concubine was in that position, they would have to meet sooner or later. It's better to take this opportunity to fight her head-on, so that she knows the taboo and don't mess with him obediently.

But how can you kill with one blow?

……

When Lu Li was thinking about how to deal with it, Wang's mother was still kowtowing and begging until she was stopped by the little maid next to her.

Mother Wang's fierce eyes passed, the little maid trembled, and before she could explain, Hu Weiwei spoke, "Tsk, this mother is really deep in the play, my master has agreed, why are you still kneeling?" ”

Mother Wang was slightly stunned and looked at the little maid beside her: Did he really agree?

The little maid nodded with a pale face.

Hu Weiwei burst out laughing, "This is a long time ago that my master will not agree!" ”

The onlookers now understood, "It turned out to be a play!" ”

"Who is forcing whom......

"Your circle is really messy, I and other civilians really don't understand......"

……

In this way, Lu Li asked his entourage to send the things Hu Weiwei had just bought back to the garden, and he took Hu Weiwei with Wang's mother and others to Pingwang's mansion.

The architectural style of Pingwangfu is very majestic, and Lu Li was not uncomfortable with the previous scene, and he still has the mood to enjoy the scenery. Walking all the way through the atrium, Lu Li concluded that the Ping Wangfu is really good, it is very suitable for Zhao Zhu's temperament, and it is a pity that he can't stay.

"You, you, you, how are you!"

Lu Li was attracted by the sharp shout, and when he looked back, he was dressed in brocade with a high crown and a white face and red lips...... Still an acquaintance!

"Zhao Xi."

"How do you know my name!" Zhao Xi was very vigilant.

Lu Li smiled: "Because I'm smart." ”

So the people who don't know who he is...... Just stupid?

Zhao Xideng's eyes narrowed, "It turns out that you are such a person!" "What a humble gentleman, gentle and polite, but a sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed bully!

Lu Li ignored him and walked past him inside.

"No—how can you get here!" It's just a little love raised by my brother, and I dare to come to the door in a big way!

Lu Li spoke lazily, Hu Weiwei smiled and said to Zhao Xi and blessed her body, "I want to teach you to know that the surname of my master is Lu Mingli, and his biological mother Miao is good friends with the princess, and the two families have made a marriage contract to marry the two surnames." ”

Princess Chang ...... Engagement......

Zhao Xi's face turned pale after reacting, and he pointed at Lu Li's back tremblingly, "He, he, he's my brother's fiancé?" "It looks like you can pout at any moment.

Hu Weiwei smiled at him, "You're so smart. ”

Clever...... It's stupid!

Zhao Xi jumped up angrily!

Lu Li and Zhao Shu have a marriage contract! It's his future sister-in-law! Not only did he not know and disrespect, but he also made a bet with Shen Wansha on the street, saying that if Lu Li was the one who married Zhao Zhu in the end, he would take his mother out of the house alone!

This group of people knows everything, but they are hiding it from him and playing with him!

Zhao Xiqi's face was swollen red, and his nails pinched his palms fiercely. Today, I heard that Zhao Zhu's man's wife's mother's family came to discuss marriage, and he wanted to come over to see the joke, who knew that this kind of thing would happen...... No, he must not let Lu Li succeed!

Zhao Xi calmed down for a moment, strode after Lu Li, and walked towards the main room.

……

There were only two people sitting in the main hall, and the Feng family Lu Li, who was sitting at the bottom, knew him, and the one sitting at the top was naturally the well-known step-concubine.

The concubine has a slightly round face, upright and soft facial features, naturally upturned lips, and bright eyes, giving people the feeling that she is a beauty with a gentle personality. She is wearing a brocade auspicious cloud pattern phoenix fairy skirt gown, elegant and generous ginseng bun, a whole set of head and face with tired silk inlaid gems, with a well-maintained face, the whole person is rich and kind, not at all like a person with a small belly and chicken intestines.

She is also very well maintained, with no gray hair on her sideburns, only two fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and she looks like a woman in her thirties.

Lu Li felt that he probably understood the reason why he could still mix well according to this concubine.

People will always have more tolerance for beautiful people, especially the concubine, who is born with a round and joyful spirit, and feels comfortable when she sees it. After getting along for a long time, I am afraid that when I hear the rumors outside, I will not think that she did it......

"You're Lu Li?" Concubine Ji seemed to be very surprised, and looked him up and down, "It's a neat child, but it's a pity that Zhu'er has been hiding it, but she doesn't show it to me." ”

Feng's slender eyes glanced at Lu Li, helped the red gold silk bracelet on his wrist, turned to the step-concubine, and smiled, "Don't praise him, he's naughty!" ”

This atmosphere of peace and gentleness ......

Lu Li sneered in his heart, and bowed to the two women to say hello - how can they say that they are also elders.

He was not polite, and asked on the spot: "The concubine stopped me on the street, adding laughter, I don't know what's going on?" ”

The smile on the concubine's face cracked. She inquired privately, this Lu Li is a gentle person and has some brains, and Feng Shi also said that he is a good man, why is this the case?

Feng Shi was also stunned, when did Lu Li become so bold? No matter how much he bullied him at home, he didn't say a word until he couldn't stand it anymore...... What's going on right now? Obviously, he has been very well-behaved in the past two years, and he knows how to write a letter to his family, and he listens to whatever she says!

The concubine was worthy of going through a big scene, she only paused, her face immediately came over, and she looked coldly at the people around her, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Li came over with Wang's mother, and the house naturally got the news, and the errand runner was faster than Lu Li, so he handed the news in the morning. After the maid finished saying this and this to the concubine, the concubine slapped the table with her hand, "It's okay!" How dare you threaten your master? Pull people out, and the rod will be killed! ”

Lu Li's heart chilled. Hu Weiwei said that this Wang's mother is the step-concubine's personal mother, even if she is not a confidant, she is also a person who needs to be used on weekdays. Lu Li didn't believe that Mother Wang's actions today didn't know about the concubine, but the concubine's order was so simple...... I really don't treat others as human beings.

And after being killed like this, when it was mentioned later, it was probably not the step-concubine who was blamed, but him, the person who stirred up trouble.

But if he intercedes for Mother Wang, it is estimated that Mother Wang will not only not be grateful to him, but will also praise Concubine Ji's high means, and she has already expected the result!

Lu Li didn't want to be calculated, so he simply decided not to speak.

But time passed little by little, the step-concubine didn't speak with a cold face, and the subordinates had already begun to act. Lu Li is not an ancient, and the concubine can really be ruthless and want people's lives, but he can't bear it...... It doesn't matter if others deserve to die or not, even if they deserve to die, they shouldn't die like this.

He frowned heavily, and finally felt the pain of the house fight.

"Master, it's hot?" In the end, Hu Weiwei was smart, and took advantage of the time to hand over the fan, and quickly wrote a few words on his back.

Lu Li was stunned, gave Hu Weiwei a look of approval, and became steady again, "Concubine Ji, is this going to kill people?" ”

The step-concubine is indeed a continuation, but she hates that others call her the step-concubine the most! She forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and her face was aggrieved, "What do you mean by this?" I'm just fixing up the people who collided with you. ”

"I'm not proficient in it, but I have a little experience in deducing and analyzing things. I heard that Concubine Ji is smart and kind, but she is the most kind, and she is especially good at teaching people," Lu Li slowly posed a fan, and there was a dark light in his eyes, "Mother Wang is your personal mother, you may not know when she eats and drinks, she deliberately stopped me on the street, intending to smear your face, make King Ping's mansion shameful, and make King Ping faceless...... Do you behave like this, and you don't know it at all? ”

"I—"

Lu Li prevented the step-concubine from speaking, "When I asked me on the face, I immediately ordered the cane to be killed, but my heart is weak?" Worried about her saying something she shouldn't have said? ”

"Concubine Ji, you are not the only smart person in the world, even if today's events are spread, the people on the street will suspect you more and blame me less. You're not going to work. ”

The room was abruptly quiet.

Feng Shi looked at this, then at that, and played an embarrassing round, "What does the master blame his subordinates for not working, that is, if they are in a bad mood, they will be killed, and others will not say anything, Lu Li, be careful when you speak!" ”

Concubine Ji smiled, the handkerchief in her hand was clenched, her eyes were surging with affection, but the words in her mouth were relaxed, "You kid, you think a lot, how can I harm you?" It's just that I want the next people to see clearly, and don't slack off on you in the future. If you are not pleased, I will spare them. Someone-"

In this first round, I don't know who wins and who loses, but Lu Li vaguely understands something......

The women in the house pay attention to the method, like to stab people with a secret knife, and like to take advantage of all the righteousness, even if they do disgusting things, they have to say beautiful reasons, if everything is clear...... Unlike their usual ways, they will be unaccustomed, unpleasant, and unhappy.

For example, everyone says a sentence and turns three corners, scolding people without dirty words, but to the last woman in the market, rolling on the ground and scolding the street, greeting your ancestors, trying to have sex with your ancestors, one mouth is a reproductive organ...... Following the concubine, I'm afraid I'm going crazy.

Lu Li lowered his eyes slightly, and his thoughts were churning in his head.

At this moment, Zhao Xi laughed, ran in with the wind, pointed at Lu Li and shouted: "What are you proud of!" I just asked, your aunt came to discuss the divorce, so she won't let you marry my brother! ”

"Oh?" Lu Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Feng, "Is that so, aunt?" ”

Feng Shi was chilled by his eyes, when did this kid have such a dangerous look!

She thought about the Miao relics she had there, and then thought about Lu Li's usual nest appearance, her heart slowly calmed down, and she said slowly: "Didn't you always want to admit this family affair?" It just so happens that Prince Ping is noble and unparalleled, and it is not good to give up his family status, and the blood relationship is low to you, I thought about it, this family, it is better to retire. ”
