Chapter 16: Digging Deeper

There was a lot of movement in the courtyard, and when Li heard the sound, he looked sideways, and just saw Le Xi's humming appearance, and beckoned to her. "Since everyone is gone, don't be angry with yourself."

Hearing this, Le Xi pursed his lips and took Li's hand and sat down again. "It's boring."

Li patted Le Xi's hand, "That kid is a little terrible, and he doesn't complain that this Li family was coaxed so much that he didn't even want to see his own daughter-in-law." But Xiaoxi rest assured, she naturally can't just please like that! ”

Le Xi also knew that the Li family was angry, so he just pressed it, and he thought of it with himself.

Fighting a snake is a seven-inch fight!

The mother and daughter whispered, and a group of maids and servants entered the house and saluted the two of them.

Lee's face was stiff, and there was a fierce look in his eyes. "Bofu has the rules of Bofu, if you make a mistake, whether you are decent or not, you will not be spared..."

"If you make a mistake, you can save it?!" Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Li was quite satisfied, and raised his tone before taking a strong pill.

When everyone heard this, they all knelt down, and they knew that they must be doing their best to do their best. Seeing this, Li also eased his face and let everyone disperse on duty.

The house, which had been full, was empty.

Chunya was replaced by Xia He to rest, Qiu Ju and Chaochen went to make tea again, and Xu's mother took advantage of this to tell Li about the latest incident. The daughter-in-law of Liu's steward, who disappeared, was found in a well in the house, but the person was already dead.

Le Xi listened to a palpitation, why did he die again!

"Did you stumble or did you vote for yourself?" Li asked with a solemn expression.

"I should have voted for it myself, and there are no other traces around."

Bang Dang!!

As he spoke, the sound of porcelain breaking suddenly sounded.

Le Xi's eyebrows jumped in shock, and when he raised his eyes, Chao Chen was paralyzed on the ground trembling, with a look of fear.

"Why didn't you even hold a tea bowl?! It's time to clean it up! Le Xi didn't know what was wrong with this always sloppy maid, and said loudly.

At this reprimand, Chao Chen also came back to his senses, hurriedly admitted his mistake, picked up all the pieces with shaking hands, and retreated with his clothes.

"Madam, I didn't say that the girl's yard really didn't have a good one." Qiu Ju frowned and presented the tea in his hand to the Li family. Chao Chen couldn't stand it, and the whole house watched the affairs of Steward Liu and his mother-in-law, and no matter how timid she was, she was not as directly paralyzed as she was. And last night, when she asked someone to ask for hot water for the girl, it took half an hour to bring it up..."

Qiu Ju was dissatisfied, originally she couldn't talk about people behind her back, but Chaochen was too outrageous. And Li's attitude towards Le Xi has changed these days, and she has been temporarily pointed to Le Xi's side, no matter who is dissatisfied with being a good master, it is the fault of the subordinates, she doesn't want to be really implicated.

"This is really, there is a small stove in the girl's yard, how can she not even command the people in her own yard? It shouldn't be playing tricks with those little maids, delaying. Mother Xu also frowned when she heard this, there was a lot of confusion in this house.

Hearing this, Li Shi looked at Le Xi, "She is doing this in front of you?" ”

Le Xi knew about Chaochen's sloppiness, but at this time, he felt more and more wrong. "She was always sloppy, and last time she brought me a white towel to cover the wound, and my grandmother was so angry that she had to punish me. He didn't cover his mouth when he spoke, but he didn't see that he was so timid. ”

As he spoke, Le Xi remembered Le Shaoyuan's previous mention, and suddenly turned cold.

The rumor spread in the house should have been last night, and she was going to be missing for half an hour last night?!

Chao Chen entered the door and dropped the tea bowl, that is, he heard them talking about Steward Liu, and everyone just watched it, but she was afraid of being like that.

Thinking about it in a series of things, there are no ghosts in this morning, but it is a ghost.

Le Xi thought, Fang Qiao went and returned in the morning. The panic on his face was much less, but the hand that served the tea was still trembling slightly.

"Where did you go at half an hour last night?" Le Xi took the tea, took a sip, and stared at Chao Chendao.

With this question, Chao Chen's body shook and his expression was flustered.

"Last night, the slave maid gave the girl Zhang Luo hot water."

Le Xi listened as he put the tea bowl on the table, and his voice sank a little. "It takes half an hour to ask for water, I can't move you, or the people of this Xin Yuan Courtyard have no owner in their eyes! Doing things like this drags on! ”

"Mother Xu, you went and called all the people in Xinyuan Courtyard, this is all about to rebel!" Seeing that Le Xi was angry, Li knew that this morning was definitely not a good one, so he immediately stepped up.

Mother Xu responded, and went in a hurry, Chao Chen's face suddenly turned pale, and his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground.

Seeing Chao Chen's pitiful appearance, Le Xi didn't know that her mind was still a little messy.

In the past, she felt that Chaochen was sloppy and did not do her best, but now everything is connected, as if it is all designed. She was terrified when she thought about it, her maid was unfaithful to her, so she could only be bought. The one who can think of resentment with her in front of me is Le Yan!

Both masters were furious, and the room was so quiet that even the pins could be heard.

Chaochen was trembling on the ground, she was terrified. Last night, she shouldn't have been in a hurry to invite merit to Lancui Courtyard, or she should have picked another time, so she wouldn't have happened to meet Steward Liu's mother-in-law at the eldest girl's place.

At that meeting, Steward Liu's mother-in-law had already said that the Protectorate Mansion was going to withdraw from the marriage, and she was not a good friend of the eldest girl, and she was overly frightened and suspicious because she saw the death of Steward Liu's mother-in-law.

The more Chaochen thought about it, the more scared he became, and the cold sweat on his body had already soaked his clothes. After a while, the people on duty in Xinyuan Courtyard last night came, and under questioning, her whereabouts were afraid that they would be exposed. Timing ......

Maybe if you make the first move, you can be punished lightly!

"Girl, girl! I said, I have no choice but to do it! Chao Chen thought of the end, but calmed down a lot, and fell to Le Xi's feet and cried. Last night, the slave maid went to the eldest girl's Lancui Courtyard, and the eldest girl was kind to the slave and maid's family, so she ......"

"So, you're going to betray your master to repay your family's kindness?!" Le Xi shook his hand and swept the tea bowl to the ground. Can she believe this kind of nonsense about repaying her kindness?!

Chao Chen was splashed with tea, and cried and begged for mercy.

Li Shi also froze when he heard this, this Le Yan has her business everywhere, and she hates Le Xi to such an extent? Even with the people around her, she was framed again and again?!

She is a concubine, even if she has a good reputation, what can she do?! The identity is there, and he can't get past Lexi who is a concubine.

Moreover, in ancient times, there was a girl in the house who had a bad reputation, and even other unmarried girls would be affected. Le Xi already has a marriage contract, and she specially asked, this Le Yan has not yet been decided. Could it be that she is all doing this to get a good marriage?!
