Liu Yingyi took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels from his body, "Take it first." I also have some contacts in Yancheng, so I asked someone to ask if anyone would like to buy your restaurant another day. ”

"Thank you, Brother Liu." Yuan Yishan breathed a sigh of relief and put the silver ticket in his sleeve.

"I haven't been to the Yuan Mansion for a few years, when did the Yuan family have an extra Mrs. Yuan?" Liu Yingyi picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Yuan Yishan just received Liu Yingyi's silver, and immediately replied honestly, "It was three years ago, my father rescued an orphan girl who sold herself to bury her father, and after burying her father, the orphan girl knelt at the door of Yuan's mansion every day, only saying that she had fulfilled her promise and came to Yuan's house to repay her kindness." Seeing that she was pitiful, her father took her in Yuan's mansion, and after a long time, he gave her a name, and she also called herself 'Mrs. Yuan' to the outside world. said that it was Mrs. Yuan, but in fact she was an adopted daughter, and her father had never had sex with her. ”

When Liu Yingyi heard this, her face began to become solemn.

Shui Qingxiang said in her heart that Yuan Yishan didn't treat that woman as Mrs. Yuan, but looking at that woman's expression today, she really didn't regard herself as an outsider.

"Who do you think is most likely to be poisoned in the Yuan Mansion?" Liu Yingyi's sudden question frightened Yuan Yishan into paleness.

"Brother Liu, you can't talk nonsense. Although several of us are not born to our father, we have long regarded him as our biological father after so many years of nurturing. Even though my father has been a little estranged from us in the past few years, we all respect him as an old man, and no one dares to harm his thoughts. Or is it the enemy that my father made in the palace in the early years? Yuan Yishan can also be regarded as a cunning old fox, and the last sentence is obviously to test Liu Yingyi and pick himself and the Yuan family cleanly.

Shui Qingxiang on the side sounded like a thunderbolt, it turned out that Yuan Lao was not the biological father of the three brothers of the Yuan family, and the so-called "Mrs. Yuan" was just Yuan Youcheng's adopted daughter.

Yuan Lao has a great relationship with the former emperor, I haven't heard that he is an official in the imperial court, but he has done errands in the palace, could it be ......

An astonishing guess came to Shui Qingxiang's mind, but she didn't dare to ask Yoo Young-yi to confirm it.

"I won't give up on the death of my master, I will personally go to Yuan's Mansion to investigate the case these days." Yoo Young-yi put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Although Lord Liu let go and check, Yishan will definitely make it convenient for adults."

Liu Yingyi got up to leave, and Shui Qingxiang also left with him.

It's noon in a blink of an eye, and after so much busy coming and going, Shui Qingxiang has an empty stomach.

It's a pity that she was busy eating melons in Yuan Yishan's restaurant just now, and she didn't eat a few bites of food, and Shui Qingxiang felt a little regretful in her heart.

After leaving the restaurant, Liu Yingyi took Shui Qingxiang and walked straight to a remote alley.

"My lord, where are we going?" Shui Qingxiang asked.

Liu Yingyi turned her head and smiled kindly at Shui Qingxiang, "Don't you want to try Yancheng's delicious snacks?" I'll take you to taste it. ”

Shui Qingxiang saw Liu Yingyi's smiling face, as if it was a plum tree in the cold and snow, or a small green bud growing in the soil in spring.

At that moment, Shui Qingxiang felt like her heart was skipping a beat.

Yoo Young-yi takes Shui Qingxiang to an alley noodle shop, which is very simple and has not too many customers.

The owner of the noodle shop was a silver-haired woman who looked to be in her seventies, but she spoke with a lot of energy.

As soon as she saw Liu Yingyi, she shouted very enthusiastically: "Xiaoyingzi, you haven't come to me to eat noodles for so many years, I thought you didn't live in Yancheng." ”

Liu Yingyi smiled at the woman: "Granny Ding, I just went back to Yancheng today, and as soon as I come back, I will come here to taste the noodles you made, I haven't eaten them for so many years, and I miss them very much." ”

The old woman looked proud: "That's natural, my noodles are the most delicious in Yancheng, otherwise they wouldn't have been open for so many years." Xiaoyingzi, this is your daughter-in-law, right? I haven't seen you all these years, and it's a blessing to find such a handsome daughter-in-law, today's face is mine. ”

Liu Yingyi found a place where no one sat down, Shui Qingxiang felt that her face was hot, and she said in her heart that this Lord Liu was real, and he would not explain it if he was misunderstood.

"My lord, this noodle shop ......"

"This noodle restaurant is the noodle restaurant I've been frequenting since I was a kid." Liu Yingyi said eloquently, "The most famous food in Yancheng is a little noodle and a soup, which refers to pastries, Yancheng's pastries are salty, sweet and crunchy, and many people who come to Yancheng like to take them back." This soup is beef bone broth, and I will treat you to it later. As for this side, it naturally refers to the trouser belt noodles of Yancheng, because the noodle somersault resembles the belt of the trousers, hence the name. ”

"When I was a child, I liked to eat the trouser noodles made by Granny Ding, and I grew up eating her noodles, when she and her two sons just opened a shop here, and now their grandchildren will run all over the ground, it's really like an arrow." Liu Yingyi sighed.

"My lord, you didn't want to go to Yuan Yishan's restaurant to eat just now, is there anything inconvenient? Yuan Yishan is not a good person, I heard that he is a good gambler, and the silver given to him by the adult may not be returned to the creditor, but may be used to gamble. Shui Qingxiang kindly reminded.

"What kind of person is Yuan Yishan, how can I not know? He sold half of the Yuan family's shop, and the business he ran lost money year after year, if it weren't for his wife's rich dowry, he was afraid that the people in the gambling house would break his dog's legs. But after all, he is my master's adopted son, and I can't help but miss the old feelings, and besides, I have to start with him to find out the truth about my master's poisoning. ”

"The three of them are really Yuan Lao's adopted sons?" Liu Yingyi asked cautiously.

Liu Yingyi nodded: "Yuan Yishan and Yuan Yihai's biological mother has some relationship with the master, and after their biological father died, the master married the master and became their father." As for Yuan Yichuan, it was the abandoned baby that the master picked up at the gate of Yuan's mansion. The master was clean in his early years, and it was impossible to have children. ”

Shui Qingxiang had a little joy in her eyes, she guessed right, she guessed right, and she was sure to guess right.

When she heard the Yancheng County Order mentioned in the Yuan Mansion just now, Shui Qingxiang had a guess in her heart, but she didn't expect it to be as she thought in her heart.

Because Yuan Youcheng was a eunuch in the palace and had a good relationship with the emperor, even if he was not an official in the imperial court, he was deeply respected by the emperor.

However, even if this old Mr. Yuan is really a eunuch, adopted three adopted sons who are not related by blood, and cultivated Liu Yingyi and Ning Wuze into talents, what he did was quite great and worthy of the title of "Great Benevolent".

"However, if Yuan Lao can't have children, why should he marry a young new lady?" Shui Qingxiang asked puzzled.

Yuan Yishan said that the woman said that she was Mrs. Yuan, but in fact she was just an adopted daughter, and the two did not have the same room, why did Yuan Youcheng do such a thing in his old age, if he was really a kind person, there was no need to do more to ruin this young girl's life.

Liu Yingyi also frowned, "This is also what I think is strange, with my understanding of the master, he is not a person who likes Fengyue." And when did he marry the new lady, he never told me and Ning Wuze. ”

The silver-haired grandmother who was in good spirits had already brought two bowls of trouser noodles to the table, "Xiaoyingzi, the noodles are ready." It's still the same old thing, you put an extra spoonful of sauce and a spoonful of chili pepper in that bowl. ”

Liu Yingyi smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandma Ding." ”

The two of them bowed their heads and ate their noodles. Shui Qingxiang took a bite and felt that this noodle was a bit like the knife-cut noodles in her previous life, but the noodles were a little wider.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

A middle-aged woman hurriedly ran in with a child of a few years old: "Mother, Xiao Mian was hit by a car. ”

When Grandma Ding saw that her baby grandson was hit with blood all over his head and unconscious, she immediately looked surprised: "Who knocked my grandson like this?" You didn't go to the procurement with Da Kun, why can't you even look down on a person? ”

Grandma Ding's daughter-in-law cried, "Originally, the three of us were about to arrive at the flour shop, but a carriage rushed out of nowhere on the way, and knocked down Xiao Mian and didn't stop. ”

"This blue sky is too arrogant, and it doesn't stop knocking people down."

"It must be the second ancestor of which family dares to be so stubborn."

Some diners were talking indignantly.

"You stupid woman, don't call the doctor yet." Granny Ding anxiously carried her grandson to bed.

The daughter-in-law with red eyes hurriedly ran out to find the doctor, and Liu Yingyi stepped forward: "Granny Ding, I know a little bit about medical skills, let me take a look first." ”

Liu Yingyi carefully examined Xiaomian and found that it was only a few external injuries on the forehead, and it should be no big problem to stop bleeding and bandage.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly came to report in a hurry: "Granny Ding, go and take a look, your son is about to be killed by the coachman!" ”
