Chapter XXIII: Framing and Counter-Framing

Back in the courtyard, Li Chu sat on a rocking chair under the big tree, moving his muscles and bones, sitting in a precarious position at the family banquet, his bones were stiff, Yun Mo walked behind her and kneaded her shoulders.

"Comfortable." Li Chu squinted and enjoyed his service, well, the technique was good, suddenly remembered what happened last night, turned his head and asked him, "Did the person last night find out, whose person is he?" ”

The timing of that person's appearance was too coincidental, he had just lived in Loei, and he came, obviously for himself, maybe it had something to do with his mother?

"He's a dead man, so I guess I can't ask anything." Yun Mo said lightly.

In the evening, Yun Mo's people came to report that the person who was captured last night was dead, and someone broke into the room and killed him.

There weren't many people guarding the house on East Street, so it wasn't strange that someone had sneaked in, but Yun Mo didn't care, and he couldn't ask anything anyway. It is easier for them to leave clues when they take action, so that it is convenient for their own people to investigate, and at this time, the people in the shadows should have already followed the other party's people.

When Li Chu heard him say this, he couldn't help but sigh that he was really a trick...... Uh, smart. Dare to love him This is deliberate, it seems that the man was just a bait last night, this guy is too calculating, fortunately he is not his enemy.

"So, who is Song Hanshi? Is he really just a distant relative of the Li family? "A poor relative in the eyes of the Li family? How can it be! Li Chu didn't believe it, and his surname was Song, so he wouldn't be from the Song family.

"I have investigated, and the Song family in Xichen Mountain does not have such a person as Song Hanshi. Whether he is from the Song family or not, he is not as simple as he seems. "Yun Mo has investigated Song Hanshi's identity, although the investigation shows that his identity is very ordinary, I am afraid that there are other identities, but they have not found it for the time being.

"You've investigated the Song family, tell me about it."

"The current head of the Song family is named Song Qi, the Song family has been in business for generations, and the business is all over the world, but it is very low-key, Yipin Pavilion is the industry of the Song family, but not many people know about it. Recently, Song Qi picked up one of his exiled sons, named Song Yu......"

"Song Yu?" Li Chu exclaimed?

Knowing what Li Chu was thinking, Yun Mo explained, "It's Baoyu's jade." ”

"Oh, you go on." For some reason, Li Chu remembered Song Yu in the Forest Underground Palace.

"Song Yu suddenly appeared not long ago, but everyone in the Song Mansion had no opinion on Song Yu's appearance, but was very respectful to him. And it was only after he appeared that the Song family made frequent moves, and this person is afraid that it is not simple. The Song family seemed to be looking for someone during this time, Yun Mo kept an eye on it, not knowing what they wanted to do?

"You said that this Song family should not be the descendants of Song Yu." Li Chu had a flash of inspiration, and this idea suddenly popped up.

Yun Mo paused, maybe he ignored something.

On the day of the appointment to swim in the lake, when Li Chu appeared in front of everyone with Xiaobai, the young masters and young ladies were startled, how could there be a white wolf? Although they didn't seem to be threatening, they all stayed away from Li Chu.

Early in the morning, Wan Qiyu took Xiaobai over, Li Chu played with the rope, uh-huh, if there is someone who doesn't know each other, let Xiaobai bite him.

Due to Xiaobai's existence, no one wanted to sit in the same carriage with Li Chu, Li Chu was happy to be quiet, and Yun Mo helped her into the carriage.

Li Jinshu looked at Li Chu's carriage angrily, she originally planned to take this opportunity to get close to Yun Mo, but she didn't want Li Chu to actually bring a wolf, she was still scared in her heart, and she didn't dare to come up.

When the people of Loei Province arrived at the lake, Xia Ziheng was waiting there with a lotus leaf in his hand, and when he saw them arrive, he threw the lotus leaf to the ground, but he was impatient.

In the past two days, Li Chu and Yun Mo stayed in Li Mansion, and Xia Ziheng was bored, so when he learned that they went out to visit the lake today, Xia Ziheng also came over cheekily.

Seeing that Xia Ziheng was obviously waiting for them, the young masters and young ladies of the Li family were all surprised, after all, the two families usually barely moved, and the fifth young master of the Xiahou family actually wanted to swim in the lake with them?

"Xiahou Yun, we didn't invite you here."

"Can't I come uninvited, what? Not welcome? ”

Xia Ziheng was very thick-skinned, Xiao Bai saw the master, and rushed up happily, Xia Ziheng opened his hands and was about to greet it, but he didn't want Xiao Bai to run past him with a turn, and bit the lotus leaf that Xia Ziheng had just thrown on the ground...... Uh, no, it's a little fish still alive in the lotus leaves.

Xia Ziheng froze, this stupid dog is going to rebel, he is so faceless, he will definitely teach him a good lesson when he goes back.

The others wanted to laugh out loud when they saw this, but they still held back, Li Chu burst out laughing, and Xia Ziheng turned his head and looked at her resentfully.

Although the Li family and the Xiahou family did not deal with each other, everyone knew this, but they still had to do a good job on the surface, so they didn't plan to tear their faces, so they had to turn a blind eye to Xia Ziheng mixing into their team.

The location of the lake tour is in the Yunze Lake on the outskirts of Pingyang City, the scenery here is beautiful, the lake water is clear, the lotus flower blooming in the lake is a major feature, it is the season when the lotus flower is in full bloom at this time, there are many literati tourists who visit the lake, and the young master and lady of Loei are coming, and many familiar people come to say hello.

They booked the painting boat in advance, and Li Jinshu also made an appointment with the young lady of the family who was good friends with him, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, the painting boat slowly drove out.

A group of young masters and young ladies got together to just chant poems and play chess, singing and dancing, Li Chu was not interested in this at all, so he took Xiaobai to sit on the bow of the boat to blow the wind.

Xiaobai was very excited and ran fast, Li Chu let go of the rope and let it play on its own. Xiaobai lay on the side of the boat, stretched out his paws to play in the lake, but found that he couldn't reach it, saw the big lotus leaf not far away, jumped over excitedly, and wanted to stand on the lotus leaf to play, who knew that the paw just touched the lotus leaf, and then sank, Xiaobai fluttered in the water and made a miserable cry.

Li Chu squatted on the bow of the boat with great interest and watched it row in the water, but it would not sink, Li Chu had an epiphany, this is the dog planing style.

Xia Ziheng also learned from Li Chu to squat next to him, ignoring Xiaobai, who was fluttering indiscriminately, "Senior sister, what are you looking at?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You don't want to save Xiaobai quickly. ”

"Oh, good." Xia Ziheng floated towards the lake, tapped his toes in the water a few times, leaned over to scoop Xiaobai up, turned around and returned to the boat, put down the frightened Xiaobai, and patted the water droplets on his sleeves in a dashing manner.

Light power floating on the water, handsome! Li Chu was very envious, if only he could fly around on the water, but unfortunately he was still at the level of a half-ass, and he could barely fly.

The people on the boat also noticed the movement here, and a group of people gathered around to see the excitement, and many young ladies saw Xia Zihenglu's hand, and many of them were young ladies from Loei, but they thought of the grievances and hatreds between the two families, and they could only regretfully let go of their thoughts about him.

Xiaobai stood up and shook his body vigorously, wanting to dry the wet water on his body, so the water droplets thrown out flew towards the people next to him, and many people suffered from them, but fortunately, Yun Mo reacted quickly and took Li Chu out of the suffering area.

Looking at the group of young masters and ladies who suffered, Li Chu, who escaped the catastrophe, said secretly, Xiaobai did a good job!

"Ahh My clothes! ”

"My face! ……”

For a while, many people were complaining.

Li Jinshu's face was also ugly, her clothes were also wet, and there were water droplets on her head, she glared at Xiaobai fiercely, but in her heart she counted all the accounts on Li Chu's head.

"Xiaobai, you're too ignorant, look at the ...... everyone Gee. Xia Ziheng was gloating on the side, the excitement was not so good-looking. Although he also has a lot of water droplets on his body, he has so many people with him, so he doesn't blame Xiaobai.

Xia Ziheng said so, if he cares, wouldn't he seem stingy and scheming with a beast. Although they were angry, everyone swallowed their breath and was helped by their subordinates to deal with the water stains on their bodies.

Li Jinshu became more and more unaccustomed to Li Chu, glanced at her, snorted coldly and walked away.

Li Chu seemed to be aware of it, and looked at the back of Li Jinshu leaving.

Because of this little episode, everyone didn't have the heart to continue swimming in the lake, so they ordered the boatman to return.

Li Jinshu looked at the clear lake, his eyes flashed, he walked to Li Chu's side, and whispered to her, "Cousin, I have a secret to tell you. ”

Li Chu raised her eyebrows, what was her idea? So he remained silent and did not respond.

"It's about my aunt, come with me, I'll tell you only one person." After Li Jinshu finished speaking, she walked to the corner where there was no one on the side of the boat, and she was very sure that Li Chu would definitely follow.

Li Chu was indeed very curious about what the secret in her mouth was, anyway, she had nothing to be afraid of, so she gave Yun Mo a look to reassure him, and followed.

"Say it." Li Chu looked at her calmly.

"Do you know why my aunt disappeared in the first place?" Li Jinshu stared at Li Chu, as if studying the expression on her face.

Li Chu didn't speak, just looked at her calmly, not at all curious.

Li Jinshu approached her, and his tone was full of mockery, "Auntie, she didn't disappear, but eloped with a wild man." ”

After speaking, he saw that Li Chu's face had not changed, and he was still very calm. The mocking expression on Li Jinshu's face froze for a moment, "Aren't you curious about who your father is?" ”

"Not too curious." Li Chu was telling the truth.

Li Jinshu choked, and stretched out his hand angrily, as if to push Li Chu.

They were standing next to the boat, and it was easy for one to fall if they didn't stand firmly.

Li Chu has been paying attention to her movements, and when she sees this, she can't help but have black lines on her head, is she going to push herself down? It's a pity that I've been used to this kind of trick for a long time, okay, it's too stupid. In that case, let me be kind enough to fulfill her.

As soon as Li Jinshu's hand touched her, Li Chu fell into the water, and didn't forget to shout, "Ah, help!" ”

Li Jinshu's outstretched hand stiffened, she didn't want to push Li Chu down, but fell down herself to frame Li Chu, but she didn't expect her to fall suddenly, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Hearing the cry for help, everyone rushed to this side, Yun Mo arrived here the next moment Li Chu shouted, and when he saw Li Chu falling into the lake, he jumped down without thinking about it.

When the others arrived at the scene, they saw Li Chu and Yun Mo in the water, and Li Jinshu stood by the boat with a panicked expression, many people guessed the reason, and suddenly looked at Li Jinshu differently.

Xia Ziheng glared at her coldly, and asked the boatman to stop the boat and run to the front to see the situation of the senior brother and sister, not that she didn't want to pull people up, but that with the senior brother here, the senior sister would naturally be fine, so there was no need for her to make trouble.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How did you jump off, I can swim. Li Chu looked at Yun Mo helplessly, he hugged him so tightly that he couldn't move at all, seeing the two of them sinking, Li Chu hurriedly pushed him, "Let go, you can't swim?" ”

Yun Mo was silent, the strength of his hand was still relaxed, still hugging her waist, Li Chu hurriedly pulled twice with his hand, and the two did not sink.

Li Chu sighed lightly, "Let go of me, I'll take you up." "Looks like this guy really can't swim.

Yun Mo originally wanted to say that he could take her back to the boat with light skills, but seeing her eagerness, he let her pull her to swim to the painting boat.

Xia Ziheng pulled them onto the boat in front, Yun Mo stood in front of Li Chu, and said to Xia Ziheng in a deep voice, "Take off your clothes." ”

Li Chu reacted that his clothes were soaked, and this situation was really difficult to see, so he obediently nestled in his arms.

Xia Ziheng obediently did so, took off his coat and handed it to his senior brother, Yun Mo wrapped his coat around Li Chu, turned around and glanced at Li Jinshu coldly, and took Li Chu to perform light skills, and arrived at the shore of the lake with a few ups and downs.

On the painting boat, the atmosphere was solemn, and Li Jinxuan looked at Li Jinshu coldly, "Fourth sister, you must give your cousin an explanation for this matter." ”

"Some people are so poisonous that even their own sisters can do it, alas, it's terrible." Xia Ziheng sneered on the side.

Suddenly, everyone present looked at Li Jinshu, but they didn't expect her to be so vicious.

Li Jinshu's eyes were full of tears, and he was very aggrieved, "I didn't push her." ”

"It's not you, is it my senior sister who jumped off by herself?"

"That's right......" Many people whispered and discussed the matter.

"You ...... It's too much of a deception! Li Jinshu finally couldn't help crying and ran away.

Xia Ziheng snorted coldly, "Li Sanshao, my senior sister was pushed into the water, maybe she was frightened, your Li family has to give her an explanation." Otherwise...... Hum! We're not easy to bully either. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Naturally, I would never let my cousin be wronged. ”

Back in the small courtyard and changing his wet clothes, Li Chu reached out and pinched Yun Mo's face, "Okay, don't keep your face, don't I have nothing?" ”

Yun Mo stared at her for a long time before he said slowly, "Ah Li, you can kill her directly, but don't let yourself be hurt, I will feel distressed." ”

When he saw Li Chu struggling in the water, no one knew how scared he was, he couldn't afford to lose it again.

Seeing him weak, Li Chu said, "Okay, I know it's wrong." Seeing that his face was still not good, Li Chu hurriedly assured him, "I promise you, I won't in the future." ”

Yun Mo just looked at her, Li Chu felt his emotions, his heart softened, he took the initiative to hug him, and gently kissed him on the face, "Yun Mo, it's good to have you." ”

Yun Mo was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he hugged Li Chu tightly, imprisoned her in his arms, and kissed her red lips hard, as if he was venting something.

Li Chu's eyes widened in startle, but he didn't push her away, his hands around his neck, and he closed his eyes to bear his kiss.

After a long time, Yun Mo slowly let go of her, Li Chu felt that his lips were numb, and quietly leaned on Yun Mo's arms, listening to his heartbeat, neither of them spoke.

Hearing the news that Li Chu fell into the water, Old Man Li hurriedly came to see her, and only relieved himself after making sure she was fine, and heard that Li Jinshu pushed Li Chu down, and even punished her severely.

Li Jinshu was very aggrieved, obviously he didn't do it himself, why did everyone put the blame on themselves. Why is everyone looking towards Li Chu, grandpa, cousin, cousin, Yun Mo, they are all looking towards that wild seed, obviously they are the serious young lady of Li Fu, why!

Li Jinshu clenched his fists, letting his nails sink into his palms, as if he couldn't feel the pain, his eyes became fierce, and he had murderous intentions towards Li Chu, "You wait, I won't let you go." ”

"Knock knock", there was a knock outside the door, Li Jinshu came to his senses, looked at the red nail prints on his palms, hid the expression on his face, and his voice was gloomy, "Come in!" ”

"Fourth cousin, I've come to see you."

Li Jinshu looked at her coldly, would she be so kind?

"Fourth cousin, the old man is too ruthless."

The person who came was Miss Bai Xuan from Loei Province, who had lived in Loei since she was a child because of the death of her parents, and heard that the fourth lady was severely punished by the old man, so she came to visit her.

Li Jinshu was grounded, and he was holding his breath in his heart at this time, "What are you doing here, watching my joke?!" ”

"I'm sure the fourth cousin wouldn't do that kind of thing, they must have misunderstood." Bai Xuan hurriedly expressed her attitude.

"Hmph, of course I didn't do it." Li Jinshu snorted coldly.

Bai Xuan was disdainful in her heart, she didn't believe it, but she said, "It's all to blame for that Li Chu, if it weren't for her, my cousin wouldn't be ......."

"I don't know where the wild seed came from, sooner or later she will be cleaned up." Li Jinshu clenched her fists and dared to calculate herself, she would definitely not let her go. Afterwards, Li Jinshu thought about it seriously and felt that Li Chu fell on purpose.

Bai Xuan's eyes flashed, and after comforting her a few more words, she got up and said goodbye.

Stepping out of the room, the smile on Bai Xuan's face disappeared instantly, this Li Jinshu usually looks superior to herself, but she didn't expect that there would be this day, hasn't she always looked down on herself......

It feels uncomfortable to send people under the fence, Bai Xuan has to look at people's faces in the mansion and live to please everyone, but Li Jinshu looks arrogant in front of him, often sneering at himself, and making himself unable to get off the stage in public.

Li Chu is obviously under the fence like himself, and he is even a wild seed of unknown origin, why is he so good. Thinking that the subordinates in the house were respectful to Li Chu, the masters were also polite to her, and there was an outstanding fiancΓ©, Bai Xuan was crazy with jealousy.
