In fact, Li'er's age is not much different from Cuizhu, and she is even older than Dongmei, but because she was only sent to listen to Yuxuan on an errand later, and she is only a second-class maid, she is not as good as Meilan Zhuju in terms of qualifications and status, so it is reasonable to call the four sisters sister. And because she was specially arranged by the old lady, she was not as trusted by Xia Xue'er as Mei Lan and Zhuju as the four of them, although she was not isolated, but many things were also avoided. Especially after the escalation of the conflict between Xia Xue'er and the old lady, Li'er became the most embarrassing storage in this listening to Yuxuan, even if the old lady arranged for her to come in three years ago, when she still loved Xia Xue'er as her precious granddaughter.

Judging from Li'er's intelligence and attitude, efficiency and efficiency, she should have been among the first-class maids, but after all, she was not her own person, and she was not very relieved to use it, so Xia Xue'er never promoted her, leaving her to do some inconsequential things in the outer courtyard.

It may be that she has been busy dealing with Bai Yining and Uncle Rong's affairs recently, and she is so tired and sad that Xia Xue'er didn't expect that she would fall asleep on the table! In a trance, I heard that there seemed to be movement outside, but when I heard it carefully, it was the voices of Cuizhu and Li'er.

"Miss is taking a nap right now, you can ask her to come back another day!"

"But this Aunt Liu doesn't come to listen to Yuxuan often, there must be something important, do you want to ......?"

"Li'er," Cuizhu interrupted her a little angrily, her voice was not as gentle as usual, and her eyes were even more fierce when she looked at the person in front of her, "You also know that Miss is weak, and she hasn't slept well for several nights in a row, and now she finally sleeps peacefully for a while, can you bear to wake her up?" Besides, what is the identity of the young lady, what is the identity of the aunt, if there is really something important that must be said, then it can come back later, is it really that I can't wait for a moment? ”

Li'er naturally heard the meaning of Cuizhu's words, in short, she was gone, and it was obvious that Cuizhu was not very happy today, and then saw that she had a wounded cloth wrapped around her palm, thinking that she was accidentally injured while doing something to hurt her mood. She could only lament that she was unlucky and bumped into the muzzle, so she hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to be well-behaved, "Sister taught me a lesson." ”

Xia Xue'er listened to the conversation between the two word for word, but she really muttered in her heart. On weekdays, she doesn't interact with this Aunt Liu frequently, and her friendship is not good, so how could she think of coming to see her?

After Cuizhu sent Li'er away, as soon as she turned around and entered the house, she saw that Xia Xue'er had already sat up straight, and she couldn't help but count Li'er in her heart.

"Miss, are you going to sleep with your son?"

"No, let's put on my makeup, it's time to go to the Livable Pavilion to say goodbye."

Although he didn't have a good relationship with the old lady, he couldn't do without a reason for this morning and dusk. Xia Xue'er sat in front of the dressing table and let the maids fiddle, but her thoughts had already flown to Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu is the eldest daughter of the Binzhou Liu family, the Binzhou Liu family was the local overlord, flourishing, the most glorious time Binzhou people only know that there is a Liu family in the world and do not know that there is an emperor, it is affected by this, afraid of local hegemony and set up the imperial power of the Mu family, since the previous emperor succeeded to the throne began to drastically reform the local management system, the Liu family is naturally also within the scope of the crackdown, after ten years of debasement and release, until now, the famous Binzhou Liu family has ceased to exist. And the reason why the Liu family appeared in the Xia Mansion, became the concubine of Xiahou Ye, and even gave birth to the eldest lady Xia Jinfeng, these are completely unexpected things.

Twenty-five years ago, Xia Qingxuan, who was only a general at the time, escorted the dowry to the Zhao family in Jiangnan and asked to marry Zhao Yulan, the daughter of the Zhao family, according to the marriage contract. Just when the ritual team went south, he encountered a group of robbers who were not long-eyed, fortunately, Xia Qingxuan was a general who had gone through the battlefield, not only martial arts, but also his people were like tigers descending the mountain, and they would solve the harassment of the robbers in three or two clicks, but after that, he also mercifully left them with a life, only hoping that they could change their ways, but helplessly this group of robbers was still obsessed, and when they saw that the robbery team was not successful, they shifted the target and robbed the Liu family who moved their family, and the whole family was more than 40 people. Whether it was the Huangkou child or the old man, they were all killed, and none of them were spared, and the Liu family escaped because they were frightened.

Providence made people, she fainted on the official road when she fled, and happened to be saved by Xia Qingxuan, and after waking up, she said "The hero's life-saving grace, the little woman can't repay it, only by making a personal promise can she repay this kindness", and Xia Qingxuan knew that it was because of his own temporary soft-heartedness that he made a big mistake and caused the Liu family to be destroyed, and he felt even more guilty about the Liu family, and couldn't bear to see her wandering in the world, lonely, so he took her back to the house, although he couldn't marry her as a wife, but he also gave her a name, Guarantee her prosperity and wealth in this life.

Although the Xia family has the blessing of the ancestors and enjoys the hereditary title, Xia Qingxuan is not the son of the family and cannot become the successor of the family's honor, but the Zhao family is different. Although the Zhao family has no children to enter the office, it is a real family, even if he later became a businessman, it did not affect its weight in the eyes of the people at all, and it could not weaken his light as a nobleman, and the Zhao family's industry was all over the world, and it was a real rich country.

The Zhao family's daughter-in-law marrying the eldest son of the Xia family's second room was purely a subordinate marriage, which was a sensational event in the world at that time, and the man actually accepted a concubine before marrying his wife, which caused a lot of turmoil, and gossip was overwhelming.

In the traditional concept, it is believed that a man can have a girl before getting married, but he must not take a concubine, and a concubine cannot conceive a child before his wife, but these are all broken by Xia Qingxuan. Aunt Liu's entry into the house had a great impact on the reputation of the Xia family and the career path of the children of the Xia family, and there were even rumors that the Zhao family intended to regret the marriage. The Xia family's big house was afraid that this matter would implicate him, although he already had the position of the son in hand, he didn't want to be ruined by the second room for no reason, so the big house and the second room were separated.

Xia Qingxuan is a high-minded person, and after the family was separated, he only left the Hou Mansion with the property he deserved, and relocated the house, no matter how hard it was, he never stretched out his hand to the big house again. Fortunately, the Zhao family kept their promises and never gave up, and married their daughter Zhao Yulan into the capital a year later as promised, and even relied on the face and relationship of the Zhao family to settle many problems, and Xia Qingxuan's career has also soared from then on, from a front-line general to today, he has become a first-class military marquis, and he has also enjoyed the grace of hereditary replacement!

These are the results of Xia Xue'er's inquiries in the past year, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, and at the moment, I am afraid that there is no one in this mansion that she does not know about the background of the master's background. Except, of course, Bai Yining! It's just that Bai Yining is no longer afraid, and it doesn't matter if he is clear or not.

Just as she was thinking about it, Cuizhu leaned over and said in her ear, "Aunt Liu is here again." ”

Xia Xue'er frowned, and the playfulness in her eyes became a little stronger.

"Pass in." [To be continued]
