Chapter 171: A Corner

The days flew by. After only three days, the Forget Worry Pavilion was cleaned up and renovated. The room is small from the window paper furnishings to the bookcase wardrobe, all of which are based on Xiyan's preferences and habits. As for the eldest brother Jingyi, he was placed in the hugging house behind the Xiyan House, and he also moved in a day ago.

………………

Li Xuan sat by the window drinking tea, it was still drizzling outside, only the hot steam gradually rising in the lamp finally gave his slightly cold face a faint warmth.

"In the future, you will be the master of this house, please take care of everything in Xiyan." He smiled faintly, "I know that she has always trusted you in this family. ”

"Don't worry, the prince." Mama Yun said respectfully. "The slave and maid must serve Gege wholeheartedly, and they will never dare to live up to the prince's entrustment."

Li Xuan nodded, "Xiyan is very weak now, her spirit is not very good, and there is no shortage of people around her, please pay more attention to Mama and choose some reliable girls with quick hands and feet to serve her in the house." ”

"Yes." Mama Yun thought for a moment and asked, "You see a few girls who served Gege personally, but you still want them to come back and continue to serve?" ”

Li Xuan looked at the floating tea leaves in the bowl, pondered for a while, and then asked seemingly casually, "......What are you talking about?" ”

"It's just two of Xia Shuang." Mama Yun replied with a smile. As for the collection of books, there was an old Fu Jin Kai En earlier, who pointed it out to the steward of the outer courtyard, and when he got married after the New Year, he stayed in Jingyi's house as a housekeeper, and he was also a very safe and good child.

Li Xuan took the tea lid and stroked the tea leaves, and wrote lightly, "Mama thinks these two people are available?" ”

"Available." Mama Yun said affirmatively. "Although Xia Shuang, this kid has jumped out a bit, but in the past two years, he has become much calmer and more sophisticated than before, and he has served by Gege's side since he was a child, and he is the most loyal to Gege. As for chessβ€”"

Li Xuan raised his head and said slowly, "How about picking chess?" I remember...... She had come out of the house before. ”

"Yes." Mama Yun didn't know what Li Xuan was thinking, and replied very happily, "Cai Qi was sold by her mother when she was eight years old, and after entering the mansion, she was first assigned to the pharmacy to do some chores, and then Lao Fujin saw that she was clever, so he stayed by his side. This child has been able to do it since she was a child, she is willing to endure hardships, she doesn't care, and she has a good heart, and everyone likes her very much. Among girls of the same age, there is no one better than her. ”

Li Xuan smiled faintly, "Listening to Mama's words, my opinion of her seems to be very high." ”

Mama Yun couldn't help laughing and said, "Ye probably saw Caiqi's lonely temperament, so he thought that the slave maid was exaggerating - thinking about how dangerous it was when Gege gave birth to the eldest brother, everyone else was dumbfounded, and she was the only one who was in danger and always comforted and encouraged Gege's side - this girl is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, she seems to be cold, but she is the most enthusiastic to others." ”

"Hearing you say that, she is indeed loyal to Xiyan." He slowly put down the teacup, "It's just that I heard something two days ago......"

…… He can trust Mama Yun and trust her judgment. But is there a secret to that? After two years, the person in question is dead, crazy, and he really needs someone reliable to give him some information.

"This ......" Mama Yun muttered for a long time after hearing this, "The slave doesn't know what's going on. It is not unreasonable to say that the master doubts her because of this...... But what's the benefit of her doing that? If she really had the intention to harm Gege...... When Gege was pregnant with the eldest brother, how many opportunities did she have to do it a hundred times and a thousand times? And that was the ...... The ...... who was killed" Mama Yun's voice gradually lowered - everyone knows that it is not Xi Yan who really has a miscarriage and is sterilized because of this, it is Ning Ruo.

He was silent. It's not like he hasn't thought about it. If the chess is bought by Ning Ruo, then how does Ning Ruo benefit from it? She bore the brunt of the accident, could it be that she became the heir of the competition for favor and gambling for a lifetime? There is no such reason.

As for the others......

He thought for a while, looked at Mama Yun and said, "Maybe ...... What did E-Niang ask her to do at that time? "E-Niang meddled in the affairs of Xiyan Courtyard, and it was not unheard of before. If it is really E-Niang, what does it command...... Mama Yun shouldn't be ignorant.

Mama Yun looked at him deeply, and after a while, she sighed and said in a low voice, "Please also ask the prince to forgive the slave and maid for saying something overstepping - your misunderstanding of Lao Fujin is too deep." ”

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, and after a moment's distraction, he smiled bitterly, "If it's not, then it's really a coincidence." ”

And he, obviously, does not believe in such a coincidence.

Mama Yun thought for a while, "If the master can trust the slave and maid, he will leave this matter to the slave and maid to ask." The slave and maid have lived for most of their lives, and they dare not say anything about their skills, but they are always a little accurate when they look at people. The truth is true and false, you will know it when you hear it. In any case, she didn't believe that the child she watched grow up with her own eyes could hurt others.

"In that case...... Then there's Mama Lao. He nodded slightly.

She just told her the truth, otherwise, he would never have been able to tolerate such a disaster.

……

An hour later, Mama Yun went into the study to report.

"You say, the money...... Was it given by Xiyan? Li Xuan frowned.

"Yes." Mama Yun said, "Her mother was desperate, and no relatives were willing to borrow any more money, so she had to come to the house to find her." At that time, Caiqi was still sick, and Xia Shuang went to see him. Gege took pity on her mother's old age and her brother's lack of talent, so he gave her some silver taels and a set of jewelry. These slaves and maids also asked Xia Shuang, and they were all true. ”

He nodded, unconsciously relieved, "So, I really thought too much." ”

"That'...... Not really. Mama Yun listened to his words, not only did not show any relief, but instead stood up.

Li Xuan was stunned.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Cai Qi was waiting outside, she said...... There are some things I want to say to you in person. Mama Yun bowed her head and said.

……

"Chess girl, the master told you to go in." After a while, Little Enzi came out to call her.

Cai Qi smiled at him reluctantly before taking a deep breath and stepping over the threshold.

……

It was quiet in the house. You can hear the "crackling" sound of almost every drop of rain hitting the eaves.

It seemed that it had been a long time before I heard Li Xuan suddenly ask in a deep voice, "That's it?" ”

"Yes." Cai Qi knelt straight on the ground. "What the slave said is true. If there is half a lie, the sky will thunder. ”

He sneered, his face covered with ice, "Do you think I'll believe it?" ”

"I don't believe it." Cai Qi shook his head with a wry smile. "If the slave is the prince, I am afraid that I will not believe it." So this matter was hidden in her heart, and she couldn't explain it clearly, and she was always overwhelmed.

"You said, at that time, there were two maids who didn't know each other openly under the porch and talked about the right and wrong of the master-"

"Yes."

Li Xuan laughed angrily, "Don't you treat me like a three-year-old child?!" ”
