"Mother, why are you here?" Li Xiu was also stunned when he saw the woman walking out from behind the tree, just now he saw a corner of the dress behind the peach tree, he thought it was the naughty Qi Niang or Liu Er, but he didn't expect it to be the red whisk girl who came out, although he and Li Jing fell out, but the red whisk girl was good to him, so Li Xiu was still called "mother".

"Hugh, you...... When did you get together with Princess Binh Duong? The Red Whisk Girl asked with a serious face.

Originally, the Red Whisk Girl had something to look for Li Xiu, but Li Xiu was not there, and she waited in the living room for a while, but she didn't see him come back, so she went out of the yard to see when he would come back, but after a while, she saw Li Xiu pushing a woman back, which made the Red Whisk Girl also feel very curious, and worried that Li Xiu would be embarrassed to see her, so she hid, but she didn't expect that it was Princess Pingyang who came back with Li Xiu.

"What do you mean to come together? Oh, mother, are you asking me why I came back with the princess? Today I was out on an errand, and I happened to meet the princess, and I also had something to give her to recover from her injuries, so naturally I came back together! Li Xiu deliberately pretended not to understand and asked.

"Stinky boy, don't play tricks on me, I'm also from here, the tone and action when you talked to the princess just now can't deceive people, especially the princess even asked you to support you, not even the maids around you, don't tell me that the relationship between you and the princess is just a doctor and a patient!" The red-whisked girl asked sharply at this time.

If Li Xiu likes an ordinary woman, the red whisk girl will only be happy for him, but if the other party is the famous Princess Pingyang, it is another matter, first of all, there is an insurmountable gap between Li Xiu and the identity of the other party, of course, this is not the most important thing, the key is that Princess Pingyang has already been married, although her marriage with Chai Shao is in name only, but at least Chai Shao is a concubine canonized by His Majesty the Emperor himself, Li Xiu is like Fei'e putting out a fire, and in the end he can only kill himself.

"Hehe, mother, you misunderstood, I don't deny that my relationship with the princess is indeed closer than ordinary people, but in fact, we are just friends who can talk to each other, and it is by no means what you think!" Li Xiu explained with a smile that through this period of contact, he admitted that he and Princess Pingyang had some good feelings for each other, but it was only a little good, not to mention that there was a Chai Shao between the two, if he really didn't marry Princess Pingyang, I am afraid that he would have already found a way to solve this problem at this time.

"I'm still quibbling, and I'm not blind in my eyes, can't I see your little thoughts?" Seeing that Li Xiu didn't admit it, the red whisk girl snorted coldly at the moment, and then said with some bitterness, "Xiu'er, you are also an adult, and you have to know the importance of doing things, Princess Pingyang is really not a good match for you, of course I don't mean that the princess is bad, but her identity has long been doomed, and it is impossible for you to be together!" ”

Seeing the anxious look of the red whisk girl, Li Xiu showed a calm smile at this time and said: "Mother don't worry, just like you said, I am already an adult, and I know the seriousness of the matter, and I also know what to do in the future." ”

Li Xiu only said that he knew it in his heart, but he didn't say what he would do, which made the red whisk girl sigh and didn't say anything more, after all, Li Xiu did grow up and had his own ideas, and he couldn't force him to do what he wanted, which Li Xiu's father Li Jing did very badly, which led to a huge difference between their father and son.

"By the way, is there something wrong with my mother's visit today?" Li Xiu said that he invited the Red Whisk Girl into the living room to sit down and talk, in fact, even if the Red Whisk Girl didn't say it, he could guess something, and it must be related to Li Jing's family.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Xiu's words, the red whisk girl was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Xiu'er, I used to be away from home with your father all the year round, and I was indeed a little negligent about things at home, Mrs. Xing and the things she did before, I have also found out, and your father is also very angry, but it is just that Mrs. Xing has been running the family for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, so although your father did not kick her out of the house, he also did not let her take care of the housework anymore!" ”

"Mother, since I left the Li Mansion, everything in the Li Mansion has nothing to do with me, so you don't have to tell me this." Li Xiu said with an indifferent expression at this time, after Li Jing knew what Mrs. Xing had done, he just didn't let her manage the affairs of the family, and this punishment was too light, which made Li Xiu even more annoyed, and he felt even more correct about leaving the Li Mansion that day.

The red-whisked girl also heard the resentment in Li Xiu's tone, and immediately sighed and continued: "Actually, your father also wants to punish Mrs. Xing severely, but Mrs. Xing's identity is special, so ......"

"Special? I don't see anything special about her, of course, if she is one person in front of another, and she is extremely vicious, it is also a special place! Without waiting for the Red Whisk Girl to finish speaking, Li Xiu interrupted with a sneer, he hated that Mrs. Xing very much, if possible, he really wanted to slap her a few times with his own hands to avenge Qi Niang!

Seeing Li Xiu's angry face when he mentioned Mrs. Xing, the red lady shook her head helplessly again and said, "Xiu'er, you don't know, Mrs. Xing's identity is indeed a bit special, and even I want to give him three points!" ”

"Huh? This is strange, mother, you are the main lady of the Li Mansion, how can you care about a concubine? Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, although the Red Whisk Girl was from a lower background, she had a deep relationship with Li Jing, coupled with the Red Whisk Girl's military attainments, she helped Li Jing make a lot of contributions, and was even named a first-class lady by the imperial court.

"Actually, I wasn't your father's first wife, he had a wife before me!" The Red Whisk Girl said something very surprising at this time, at least Li Xiu never knew that Li Jing actually had a wife before, so he immediately showed a curious expression and listened carefully to the Red Whisk Girl's story.

I saw the red whisk girl stroke the hair on her forehead, and then continued: "When I first met your father, he was already in his thirties, and he was born in a nobleman, and his uncle was the famous general Han Baohu of the Great Sui, such a family background naturally became a relative early, and his first wife's surname was Xing ......"

"I see!" Hearing the Red Whisk Girl say this, Li Xiu immediately showed a sudden expression of realization, and immediately interrupted the Red Whisk Girl eagerly, "That Mrs. Xing is the current Mrs. Xing, right?" Li Jing must have seen his mother, and when he saw that he had a strange idea, he demoted Mrs. Xing to a concubine, and then helped his mother to be the main room, and it was precisely because of this that he felt guilty about Mrs. Xing, even if Mrs. Xing did something wrong, he couldn't bear to punish him, otherwise he couldn't bear to go in his heart! ”

The more Li Xiu talked, the more excited he became, there were too many vulgar episodes in later novels or TV series, but I didn't expect that Li Jing, who looked thick eyebrows and big eyes, was still Chen Shimei who abandoned his bad wife, no, maybe Chen Shimei also learned from Li Jing, after all, Chen Shimei would not be born until hundreds of years later.

"Smack!" As soon as Li Xiu's words fell, he was slapped on the back of the head by the red whisk girl, and then saw her angry face flushed and said angrily: "What nonsense is the stinky boy, if your father is really such a person, then what kind of person has your mother and I become?" And you stinky boy dare to call your father's name, do you want to find a fight? ”

Seeing the angry appearance of the red whisk girl, Li Xiu also knew that he wanted to go wrong, and he didn't dare to speak again when he smiled, which made the red whisk girl glare at him again, and then continued: "Although your father married that Mrs. Xing, but the other party was a blessed person, he died in less than two years, and he didn't leave any children. ”

When she said this, she saw that the red whisk girl paused for a moment and then said: "But although Mrs. Xing has passed away, Mrs. Xing's father values your father very much, so he has always wanted to marry Mrs. Xing's sister to your father as a stepfamily, but later your father met me and married me, for which the old man Xing was still very angry with your father, and swore that he would not associate with your father until he died!" ”

Li Xiu also heard it at this time, and now Mrs. Xing is probably the sister of the original Mrs. Xing, but at this time, he had a question that he couldn't figure out, and asked strangely at the moment: "Since the Xing family was able to marry the Li family before, the family background must not be weak, but later Li ...... Whoever marries his mother, the Xing family will definitely not send their daughter to be a concubine, so why did Mrs. Xing enter the Li Mansion later? ”

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the Red Whisk Girl couldn't help but sigh again and said: "The Xing family is indeed a local family, but later the Xing family angered the court because of something, and the whole family was convicted for it. ”

After listening to the Red Whisk Girl's story, I saw that Li Xiu was silent for a moment, and then suddenly raised his head and said: "Actually, mother, you don't have to explain so much to me, the reason why I left in the first place, although I had the relationship with Mrs. Xing, but the most important thing is Li ...... That man's attitude towards our brother and sister is too cold to be a father at all, so if you want to persuade me to go back with these words, I don't think you need to! ”

Seeing that Li Xiu's attitude was still so resolute, the Red Whisk Girl also said a little anxiously at the moment: "Xiu'er, your father did not care enough about you before, but he is your father after all, can't you be considerate of him?" As long as you are willing to go home, I can convince your father to correct the mistakes he made before! ”

"How is that possible? If he had been willing to listen to his mother's persuasion, I'm afraid we wouldn't have gotten to this point! Li Xiu smiled at this time, he can be regarded as a teacher, Li Jing's temper is stinky and hard, even if it is a red whisk girl, it is difficult to move him.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, I saw that the red whisk girl showed a smug smile and said: "Your father may not listen to my words, but there is a person who will definitely listen to it, and he will not dare not listen, and this person will come to Chang'an soon!" ”
