The inner courtyard of the Su family, an exquisite small courtyard.

Su Xiaomei was sitting under the eaves and embroidering.

Embroidery is a necessary craft for women in the Ming Dynasty, and the lady in the Word Pavilion, in addition to reading some poetry books, practices embroidery most of the time to pass the time, but Su Xiaomei is an exception, and there is not much time to stay in the boudoir, how can there be time for embroidery.

The ancients said that industry is good at diligence and frolic.

This is not wrong with Su Xiaomei, the craft has not been practiced well, and after a long time, it will be completely unfamiliar, and a peony is also crooked, so that the maid who was waiting on the side pursed her mouth and snickered.

"Laugh if you want!"

Su Xiaomei glanced at the maid, and her face was not angry.

"Don't dare!"

The maid was busy straightening her face, desperately trying to control her cheeks from twitching.

Su Xiaomei obviously had something on her mind, sighed, put the embroidered canvas in the basket on the side, and prepared to get up and walk.

At this moment, a mother-in-law rushed in with a happy face.

"Miss, good news!"

The mother-in-law is a woman in her thirties who has been following Su Xiaomei, as if she had picked up gold, her face was full of excitement, she couldn't care about the salute, she rushed to Su Xiaomei with a quick step, and said excitedly: "The son of the Xu family is dead." ”

"What?"

Su Xiaomei was stunned, a little unable to come back to her senses.

The mother-in-law lowered her voice and said: "The news that the slave maid just heard, I heard that a few days ago, the son of the Xu family went to the flower building by the Qinhuai River to find the girl, and when he came back, he was killed, and I don't know what weapon the thief used, I heard that the head of the little boy Xu was directly exploded into a rotten watermelon, and the government has arrested people everywhere in the past few days, and many ruffians in Jinling have suffered." ”

"This ......"

Su Xiaomei looked surprised and a little incredulous.

Someone dared to kill the son of Wei Guogong, who was so bold.

It won't be ......

Su Xiaomei was not calm, remembering what Li Chuan said that day, she suddenly felt a little frightened, she couldn't believe that Li Chuan had such courage, and really wanted to go to Li's house immediately to ask Li Chuan in person.

The mother-in-law also said excitedly: "The surname Xu is dead, and the young lady doesn't have to marry into the Xu family as a concubine." ”

Su Xiaomei said: "Don't make a noise about this, so as not to provoke the family." ”

"The slave knows."

The mother-in-law nodded again and again, her face full of excitement and schadenfreude that could not be concealed.

The situation of the Su family is special, the men are more useless than the other, relying on Su Xiaomei, a woman who has not left the cabinet, to take care of the housework, don't look at Su Jizu as the head of the family, but in the hearts of the Su family's servants, it is Su Xiaomei who is the most popular.

Su Jizu accepted the Xu family's dowry, and the servants of the Su family were not worth it for Su Xiaomei in private.

It's not worth it, and no one can change anything.

Now when he hears that the son of the Xu family has been killed, he is the happiest person than the servant of the Su family.

If it weren't for their scruples, the servants of the Su family would definitely set off two firecrackers to celebrate.

Su Xiaomei quickly calmed down, he was not an uninformed woman, after thinking about it, he felt that Li Chuan might not have done it, otherwise Xu Wenxiao would not have died so coincidentally, and the way he died was so weird.

Even if the Xu family had other enemies, they would not do this kind of thing.

The death of a Xu Wenxiao will not affect the overall situation, but will anger the Xu family.

This kind of thankless thing is mostly disdainful of people who can have enmity with the Xu family.

Besides, even if you want to kill, you should kill the Xu family's son to vent your anger, and you won't kill a concubine who hates Jinbala.

If Xu Wenxiao's enemy did it, it is estimated that Xu Wenxiao would have died, and he would not have survived now.

After thinking about it, Su Xiaomei felt that it was very likely that Li Chuan did this.

Just as he was about to go out for a walk, another servant hurried in.

"Miss!"

The servant's face was ugly, as if he had some unspeakable addiction.

"What's the matter?"

Su Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat, and she was inexplicably a little uneasy.

"Yes......"

The servant looked hesitant, and seemed a little embarrassed.

Su Xiaomei said calmly: "Say, what is the matter?" ”

The servant knelt on the ground with a plop and said sadly: "The master wants to let someone send the young lady to Xu's house." ”

"What?"

Su Xiaomei was stunned, and the news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, directly knocking her out.

The maid Ping'er reacted a little slowly, and she didn't understand what it meant.

The mother-in-law instantly understood and was stunned.

……

The Li family.

Li Chuan walked out of the treasury and met Li Changyue who came in a hurry.

"Young Master!"

Li Changyue bowed and said: "Just now there is news from the Su family, Master Su heard that Xu Wenxiao was killed, and wanted to send Miss Su to the Xu family, Miss Su wanted to commit suicide by hanging the beam, and was rescued by the servants of the Su Mansion, and now the Su family is in trouble." ”

"What, and this?"

Li Chuan was taken aback, and was also a little surprised.

I thought that if I killed Xu Wenxiao, this matter would pass like this.

Unexpectedly, something happened again, Xu Wenxiao is dead, what are you sending Su Xiaomei to Xu's house for? Naturally, he was widowed for Xu Wenxiao's dead ghost, which was really cruel to Su Xiaomei.

Tiger poison still does not eat children, how is Su Jizu's approach different from that of beasts?

And for Su Xiaomei, how can her biological father be so ruthless?

"Hey!"

Li Chuan couldn't help but sigh, feeling worthless for Su Xiaomei.

Reading books like Su Ji's grandfather and son, how different is it from the scum of the house, it is better to be a pig and a dog than to look up to them, and there are not a few people like Daming who read books, this is the elite taught by Confucianism, I really don't know whether to be angry or sad.

"Is Su Xiaomei okay?"

Li Chuan asked, a little worried that Su Xiaomei would not be able to withstand the blow.

Li Changyue said: "It's okay for the time being!" ”

Li Chuan was a little relieved, paced back and forth for a while, and said, "Hand in a word, I'll see Su Xiaomei alone." ”

Li Changyue answered and hurriedly went to do it.

……

At night, under a locust tree by the river.

Li Chuan stood with his hands in his hands, looking at Su Xiaomei who was walking slowly.

Su Xiaomei's face was haggard, her eyes were a little red, and her eyes were more silent than dead.

When the mother-in-law who followed behind saw Li Chuan, she immediately walked away with interest, and talked to Zhao Tiezhu and Huang Tianxiang, who were guarding not far away, and she was really surprised in her heart, when did the young lady pick up with Young Master Li Chuan.

However, this young master Li has changed since the Li family suffered a great change, although he no longer reads, but he is really good at business, not only the Li family is becoming more and more prosperous, but I heard that he was summoned to the capital by the emperor twice.

Especially recently, there have been rumors that Young Master Li is going to Songjiang to become an official.

This is amazing, what kind of official is not an official, the Li family can be regarded as an official family.

What's even more rare is that Young Master Li is still very clean, he rarely hears of going to the land of Fireworks Willow Lane, and he has not taken concubines until now, and he has always taken care of the Su family's business, so he is a good match.

The only thing that is uncertain is whether Young Master Li will care if Miss Li has been divorced by the Sun family.
