Chapter 8 Searching for Someone Has Faith
The crisp voice of the girl's house startled Steward Liu, and he hurriedly looked back. However, Le Xi's place happened to be a corner, and there was a pillar to cover it, and Steward Liu only saw a little bit of bright green clothes exposed behind the pillar.
Steward Liu was pondering whether this was the girl in the house or the maid beside the old lady, but when he saw that the prince of the protector had turned around, he had to hurriedly follow him and guide him. Then he hid the look on his face, and saw that there was no blame, so he put his mind at ease. I guessed in my heart whether the son of this world had already seen someone behind the pillar and said those words.
Le Xi was sullenly reaching out to untie the stuck ribbon and green silk, completely unaware that someone had passed by in the corridor earlier.
"Really, I knew I still had that bead hairpin, and this bun was loose." After a little effort, after Lexi untied the ribbon, he found that the bun felt like it was going to fall apart, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed that he disliked the heavy matter of the pearl hairpin.
"Girl... Girl, Uncle and Shizi Ye came out of Wufuyuan. ”
Holding his hair in a bun, Le Xi was distressed, and trotted all the way to Chaochen. From afar, he opened his mouth and called.
Hearing that it was said that his adoptive father and brother had come out, Le Xi couldn't take care of his hair, smiled and walked forward quickly, and swept Chaochen by, causing Chaochen to stomp his feet.
"Dad... Daddy, brother!! ”
Le Xi walked for a while and met Le Shaoyuan. There was a figure behind him, and Lexi shouted excitedly and ran forward, pounced on his adoptive father, whose face was ten years younger than his memory.
"Xi'er, why are you so unruly, how can the girl's family run, and her appearance is not neat."
Le Yu stood up from behind his father, and when he saw his sister-in-law's unladylike appearance, Zou raised his eyebrows and said.
Hearing Le Yu's voice, Le Xi raised his head from Le Shaoyuan's arms.
I saw a young man, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, dressed in a sapphire blue embroidered auspicious cloud dark pattern robe, gentle and elegant with nobility. He frowned, looking at himself disappreciatively.
This man is not an elder brother......
Although Le Yu's appearance and temperament are similar to those of her adoptive father, she does not have half the appearance of the brother she knows at all, and there is a faint alienation in the flashing gaze in his eyes.
The smile on Le Xi's face froze, just now she was excited, and now that she thinks about it, there is indeed no mention of her brother in the letter.
"Xiaoxi is just happy to see us go home, you will scare her like this." Le Shaoyuan secretly pinched Le Xi's palm, and shook his head slightly when Le Xi's eyes came.
Suddenly, Lexi, who understood the meaning, turned a little pale. Firmly grasped Le Shaoyuan's hand.
was reprimanded by his father, and Le Yu's face changed. In the past, the father didn't care too much about his children, and he was also indifferent to his sister-in-law, but now this kind of concern is rare to see.
The father's words are as he will be, no matter how strange Le Yu feels, he can only follow him and respect him.
lowered his head slightly, no longer looking at Le Xi, Le Yu said: "It's my son who is too serious." ”
Chaochen stopped in fright when Le Xi pounced, and the conversation between the three of them was also clear, and when he saw that his girl was not scolded by his uncle, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Le Shaoyuan sighed, and said that he would go back to the courtyard first, and the Li family would accompany the Duchess of the Protectorate. Chao Chen hurriedly gave way, and Le Xi suppressed the panic in his heart, changed to Le Shaoyuan's sleeve robe, and half-led the way to Ronghui Courtyard.
Halfway through, I met Steward Liu, who went and returned.
When Steward Liu saw Le Xi, who was dressed in tender green, his expression was strange for a moment, and after bowing, he reported to Le Shaoyuan, saying that the prince of the protectorate came to the mansion to pick up his mother. Le Shaoyuan heard that he asked Le Yu to go to the front to accompany the prince of the country, and asked Steward Liu to go to Wufuyuan to report to the old lady and let him make an idea.
Le Yu and Steward Liu both responded and went separately. But Steward Liu walked far away, and secretly looked back at Le Xi's side, and the strange look that had just been hidden came up again.
Without Le Yu's company, Le Xi was not so restrained, but with Chaochen by his side, it was difficult to ask about his brother, so he inquired about the sudden marriage with Le Shaoyuan. Le Shaoyuan gave her a rough idea, just let her not worry, it depends on what the Li family said about it.
The father and daughter didn't feel that there was anything wrong with discussing the marriage, but Chao Chen, who was following behind him, blushed, thinking that his girl was a little too violent, where could a woman who had not come out of the cabinet ask this. Uncle also followed Miss Ren to mess around.
Le Xi and Le Shaoyuan stepped into the courtyard gate, and Xu's mother greeted them and respectfully saluted the father and daughter, with a sad face.
"Girl, Xia He has come back from a few inquiries, and is anxiously waiting for Mrs. to come back and give her ideas."
This is faithful.
Hearing this, Le Xi pulled Le Shaoyuan to the main room, and explained the cause and effect in a low voice. Le Shaoyuan frowned when he heard this, and he felt that this was all a bad thing.
When Le Shaoyuan came back, after the maids saw the ceremony, they were busy making tea and serving Le Shaoyuan to clean the noodles. Le Xi was hung up by Xu's mother's previous words, and he didn't like the maid to contact his adoptive father, so he personally gave Le Shaoyuan a handkerchief, and by the way, let a few people return to the matter.
"Girl, Xixia and a few little girls have disappeared in the past two days!" When Xia He said this, his face was extremely bad, and he looked like he had palpitations, and his hand kept pressing his heart.
Gone?!
Le Xi didn't react for a while, what did this mean, she looked at Xia He in a daze, Xia He misunderstood that she was scaring her, and Po Dong knelt down to ask for guilt. Even Qiu Ju and Dong Tao also knelt down.
"This horrible thing should not have been said in front of the girl, and the slave should be punished."
At this time, Le Xi came to his senses, and it was gone, which meant death. His face was a little pale.
How could they all be dead? What happened two days before and after? Lexi's hand gripping the handkerchief tightened and tightened.
Seeing this, Le Shaoyuan pulled out the handkerchief in Le Xi's hand, threw it back into the copper basin, and motioned to Mother Xu on the side to take her to the compartment inside. Le Xi was stubborn and wanted to listen to the process, and Le Shaoyuan saw that her face had improved, so he gave up. Command a few people to come.
Xia He and the three of them explained everything one by one.
After Le Xi's accident, the maids and women who accompanied him that day were beaten with fifteen boards and punished to do the hardest and most tiring rough work.
Fifteen boards, the strong body boils up, and ten days and a half months will be fine. These people are all serving by the master's side, and they are more delicate, and the weather is hot, and they have to do manual work, and the injury is not healed but is more serious. After a few days, I couldn't bear it, and it was gone.
This ancient medical condition was not good, and it should be a complication caused by a wound infection.
After listening to Lexi, he thought of the helplessness of this era. Not only is the medical treatment backward, but the system of respect and inferiority is also the main reason for their deaths, and she is almost punished by the Yu family with a filial piety because of a white scarf.
"All gone?" Le Xi asked after sighing.
At this time, Dong Tao spoke again, with the same embarrassed and anxious look on her face as Xu's mother before. "The girl's nurse said that she was punished to Zhuangzi, who was in the suburbs of Beijing, and now I don't know the situation. That's why the slaves and maids were in a hurry, and they didn't know what to do. ”
