Otherwise, how can there be a saying that "brothers settle accounts"?

Tao Xue is the aunt of the second prince and the sister of the second prince's mother, in principle, she is towards the second prince, if nothing else, Tao Xue's husband's family is also on the side of the second prince, but it is not absolute.

It's okay that the second prince just loses, in case he is demoted, or his life is not guaranteed, Tao Xue's husband's family is not looking for another way.

Therefore, those things, before they were handed over to Tao Xue, were clearly written in black and white, although Tao Xue's name was on them, but the actual owner was the second prince.

After the second room of Qiao's family entered Beijing, in order to show his trust and reuse of Qiao Erye, the deed of "Shu Embroidery Building" was also handed over to Qiao Erye.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yixi couldn't help but sneer.

In order to accumulate strength, the second prince also fought hard.

Of course, the second prince also knows what to do, the deed is placed in Qiao Erye's place, it is just a piece of waste paper, and Qiao Erye can't use it to change his name. It's just to give Second Master Qiao a reassuring pill and make him work harder for himself.

"Miss, this is Tao Xue's name on it, will it be troublesome for us to close the shop then?" Astragalus asked uneasily.

"No matter whose name is on the deed, as long as the deed is genuine," Qiao Lixi was not very worried, "The loan contract between Qian Zhuang and Qiao Ningdai is very clearly written, and 'Shu Xiulou' is an asset mortgaged by Qiao Ningdai." Whether Tao Xue knows it or not, my contract with Qiao Ningdai is valid and protected by the laws of the dynasty. Regardless of whether this deed was stolen by Qiao Ningdai, robbed, or taken openly, in short, now in my hands, I just forcibly took over the shop, and there is nothing I do in court. ”

She is now the daughter-in-law of the head of the Dingguo Mansion, and the granddaughter-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

No matter how powerful Tao Xue's husband's family is, compared to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, it is nothing, she lent the silver to Qiao Ningdai according to the procedure, and there is no problem with the deed that Qiao Ningdai takes, so it is not illegal for her to take away the shop.

Solving the matter on Qiao Ningdai's side, Qiao Lixi also relaxed a lot, took the greeting post received by the concierge from Mama Feng today, and paused when she saw the top one.

"The Lord of Nishang?"

"Yes, miss, this is a post personally ordered by the county lord of Nishang, and it was specially sent by the Feng family."

Qiao Yixi nodded.

The greetings received by the concierge will be sent to the Feng family, and after the Feng family has read it, it will be distributed to various courtyards.

"Peach Blossom Club?" Qiao Yixi flipped through the post and glanced at it.

The ladies of the capital are keen to hold all kinds of flower parties, and she only went to the eldest princess's mansion to participate in the apricot blossom party before, and now it is the turn of the peach blossom party.

There are not many opportunities for ladies to go out, and all kinds of flower parties have become an opportunity for them to leave the backyard temporarily, as long as there are no major contradictions, but all such posts will generally come down.

It's just that it's interesting for the county lord to give her a post.

"Miss, it was the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion that held the flower party, and the daughter of the Ministry of Shangshu had a good relationship with the lord of Nishang County, and she used to be the companion of the lord of Nishang County, this time, the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion held a peach blossom party, and it was given to the Marquis Mansion to make a post, I don't know why, the lord of Nishang County gave Miss a post alone, or as the owner."

With the relationship between the county lord and Wu Baoyan, it is understandable for her to post as the master, but it is intriguing to give Qiao Lixi alone.

To tell the truth, Qiao Lixi didn't think that her relationship with the county lord of Nishang was very good, but she met at the eldest princess's mansion that day, and the county lord of Nishang said a few words to her in private, and she didn't talk about any substantive topics, she didn't have that much ability, and she fell into the eyes of the county lord of Nishang.

The flower party is over, and she has no intersection with the lord of Nishang, and the other party can't deliberately post to her.

Unless......

Qiao Yixi's eyes flashed slightly.

The eldest princess was the first to support the old emperor to seize the heir, so whether it was before or now, the eldest princess is from the old emperor's faction. Now, she has done so many things on behalf of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the old emperor must not be able to sit still, and he will talk to her through the eldest princess and the Nishang County.

Although Marquis Zhenyuan did not publicly support the second prince, the actions and messages she revealed on behalf of Marquis Zhenyuan all pointed out that the final candidate for Marquis Zhenyuan was the second prince, and it was strange that the old emperor did not make any moves.

The throne is the throne of the old emperor, and the prince is the son of the old emperor, which son does he want to inherit his position, naturally he has the final say, what does it have to do with an outsider?

Could it be that the Marquis of Zhenyuan said that if he assists the second child, then the throne is the second child?

Does that mean that he can sit in this position because of the acquiescence of the Marquis of Zhenyuan?

Without the acquiescence of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, his position would not be stable?

The majesty of the old emperor was once again provoked by the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and he was so naked, so merciless, and so slapped in the face.

"Miss?" Seeing that Qiao Lixi had not spoken, Mama Feng called out indefinitely.

"Put it down, I'll reply to a post later."

Since it is a post under the county lord himself, how can she say that she also has to reply to a post to be official.

As for whether the lord of Nishang really invited her to enjoy the flowers, or helped the old emperor to tempt, it will be known when the time comes.

The Feng family didn't send someone over to ask Qiao Lixi, anyway, this was the "Wutong Pavilion's" own interpersonal communication, and Qiao Lixi made his own idea.

Two days later, with a happy mood, Qiao Lixi followed the Feng family and Chang Yulian out and arrived at the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials.

Although this is not the first time Qiao Yixi has participated in activities in the circle, everyone still ignores her very exclusively.

Even if she got out of the carriage with the Feng family and the others, even if she and Chang Yulian stood beside the Feng family on the left and right, the ladies who came to greet each other never paid attention to her at all.

Qiao Yixi can understand this.

Although everyone is standing in line in private, there is no one like the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Now, in the eyes of outsiders, she is a person from the second prince's faction, no matter who gets a little closer to her, outsiders will inevitably be careful.

At this time, it's good to know how deep the water is, there is no need to make it known to everyone, especially if the old emperor knows, then hehehe.

Therefore, it is the best attitude for everyone to avoid her.

The group talked and laughed and entered the Shangshu Mansion, and followed the mother-in-law to the second gate.

Today happened to be the day of rest, because the guests who came to the house were all female dependents, so the official Shangshu went outside to drink with his colleagues, so that the guests were not so restrained.

For this peach blossom party, Lady Wu has made sufficient preparations, and strives to be perfect in every detail.

The people in the circle are all exquisite, especially the noble circle, the taste is cultivated with the heritage, for example, the teacups for drinking tea are exquisite, not to mention today's highlight, peach blossoms.

There is a special courtyard in Shangshu Mansion, all planted with peach blossoms, because the purpose is to watch rather than bear fruit, so each peach blossom tree is very short, but the branches are very lush, it is the season of flowers, the pink of the courtyard makes many ladies find the girl's heart.

In fact, the Flower Club is not a very formal banquet for these women, and they may go out for a walk and be in a good mood, not to mention that these women have to help them when they can't come forward.

Therefore, over time, such a flower party has become a gathering for noble ladies to show their talents, form gangs for men, and wander for interests.

Qiao Yixi followed the Feng family around the circle, and Mrs. Wu came over with her daughter, "Mrs. Hou, Grandma Gu, Second Grandma Gu." ”

"Witch Lady." Feng replied politely.

"There are a lot of people today, and there are places where hospitality is not good, Mrs. Hou will take care of it," Mrs. Wu's attitude towards the Feng family was not flattering, but she was extra attentive.

Qiao Lixi pouted secretly.

So, that's the benefit of identity.

"Lady Wu is serious, the peach blossom party held by Lady Wu is not the highlight of the capital in which year. I look at the peach blossoms every year, I never get tired of seeing them every year, the yard is full of old peach trees, and only such old peach trees can bloom such delicate flowers. ”

"Madame Hou praised it falsely," Madame Wu said modestly, "The peach blossoms in Shangshu's Mansion are just touted by everyone, how can they be compared with those in the circle." These peach blossoms can enter the eyes of Mrs. Hou, and it is not in vain that they bloom once. ”

Qiao Yixi quietly listened to the witch lady's flattery without a trace, and nodded secretly in her heart.

Therefore, it is really not easy to mix in the circle, not only technical work, but also IQ work, stupid people, really can't live.

"Grandma Gu." The delicate voice beside her recalled Qiao Lixi's divergent thinking.

Following the voice, it was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

The face plate is a little round, with baby fat, medium size, a little fat, but the temperament is very gentle, a typical lady's appearance.

Wu Baoyan's appearance subverted Qiao Yixi's perception of the nobles.

In fact, the beauties in the circle she came into contact with were all weak and couldn't help it, and it was the first time she saw such a healthy body, so she couldn't help but be surprised.

However, it was only a moment, and it was back to normal in the blink of an eye.

At the same time that Qiao Lixi looked at Wu Baoyan, Wu Baoyan was also looking at Qiao Lixi, so she didn't miss the surprise that flashed in Qiao Lixi's eyes.

Unlike every time she saw it, the surprise in Qiao Lixi's eyes was not accompanied by contempt and ridicule, it was just a simple accident.

Originally, her curiosity about Qiao Yixi brought a little good feeling, and the smile on Wu Baoyan's face was also a little sincere.

"Grandma Gu is going to Taoyuan for the first time, I'll take you around."

Qiao Lixi looked at the Feng clan inquiringly.

Feng nodded, "It's not fun to follow our group of old women, you can follow Miss Wu and take a look around, the peach blossoms in Taoyuan are famous in the capital circle, and they are worth seeing." ”

Chang Yulian followed Qiao Lixi, but she had just taken two steps before she was stopped by her cousin.

After Chang Yulian introduced Qiao Lixi, she followed her cousin to the side apologetically and whispered.
