Xu Xi was about to scold it twice, when he suddenly heard an announcement: "Congratulations to the host, wisdom +50." ”

Xu Xi was stunned for a moment and asked the system: "What's going on?" "Inexplicably give her extra points, isn't it the conscience of this system that has discovered it?

"I—I don't know." The system also seems to be a bit confused.

Xu Xi's wisdom value is not set by it, and it has its own set of evaluation criteria. Otherwise, it directly gave Xu Xi a high score, wouldn't it immediately fill up the energy it needed and repair the faulty part? Where is the need to be held hostage by Xu Xi, begging grandpa to sue grandma and begging her to brush up more points?

It hurried to see what was going on.

"It's an exam, it's an exam." The system was excited, "Host, because you got the first place in the Four Books and Five Classics exam you took in the morning, the system rewards you with fifty wisdom points." ”

Xu Xi's eyes lit up: "Really? ”

She rolled her eyes: "Is it that as long as I take the exam and get the first place, there will be a reward of points?" ”

"Yes." As if discovering a new continent, the system excitedly turned over the heel, "The higher the ranking, the more points; The higher the level of the exam you take, the more points you will earn. ”

"Then why didn't I get points awarded the last time I took the entrance exam? Did you ignore my points? ”

The system jumped three feet high: "Nonsense." I also just learned that there are points for the exam, otherwise I would have asked you to take the exam earlier, and you could have waited until now? ”

Xu Xi thought about it too.

Although this system has a problem with its brain, with its desire for points, knowing this channel, it will definitely not hold back until this time to tell her.

"Well, I'll trust you."

The system snorted coldly: "I guess it's the last entrance exam, and there is no ranking." The academy just eliminated the unqualified, and the rest were admitted. The reason why your name is at the top of the list is because you were the first to take the entrance exam. If you don't have a ranking, you can't get points. ”

Xu Xi nodded: "Makes sense." ”

"Host, you hurry up and brush up all your skills so that you can participate in the various competitions of the academy. Once you get the ranking in the competition, the score will go up, 20,000 points is not a dream, Agile Pill is waiting for you. The system shouted hoarsely.

Although the sound of the system was noisy, Xu Xi rarely continued to scold it.

Let's not talk about agile pills. With these fifty points, if you practice a few more words at night, you will be able to brush one hundred and fifty in no time. Tomorrow there will be another day of class, and it will basically be enough for 200 points. Short-term goals are reached.

For a while, Xu Xi's motivation to brush up points increased a few points.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Xu Xi went to greet the old lady as usual as soon as possible, and happened to meet the eldest lady who was also there. Seeing the eldest lady's complicated eyes looking at her, Xu Xi knew that the old lady had told the eldest lady her guess.

"Did you send someone to investigate what I said yesterday?" Xu Xi couldn't help but ask.

It would be best for the old lady to find out about this matter, so she didn't have to work hard to save points. She let go of such a big thunder last night, she didn't believe that the old lady and the eldest lady could bear not to investigate this matter immediately.

The old lady and the eldest lady glanced at each other, waved their hands to let everyone in the house out, but remained silent and did not speak.

As soon as Xu Xi left last night, the old lady immediately sent someone to call the eldest lady, and the two of them recalled the situation at that time for a night, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that the situation that Xu Xi guessed might happen. For this reason, neither of them slept last night.

At this time, seeing Xu Xi's eyes that resembled Hou Ye, Zhu's mood became even more chaotic. Originally, the matter was not clarified, and she and the old lady did not plan to mention it. But in the face of Xu Xi, she still couldn't help but open her mouth.

"Checked." Her voice trembled a little, "At that time, the Hou Mansion was in a mess, and there was a need for manpower everywhere, so I sent out all the capable people around me, leaving only a grandmother and a maid." The reason why they were kept was because they were loyal, but they were incompetent. I thought, even if I have something, they can't handle it properly, so I can help to call someone. Anyway, it's all in the house, so I'll come as soon as I call. ”

Later, the second lady had a seizure to give birth to a child, she was the first child, and the birth did not go well. I also had a seizure when I went to see her, because I didn't have time to call Wen Po and there was not enough manpower, so I lived directly in the room next to the second lady to facilitate Wen Po to take care of her back and forth. ”

"After arranging for me, my maid went to call someone, and my mother-in-law guarded me. At that time, the labor pain came up, I couldn't care about anything else, just listened to the woman keep talking in my ear, I couldn't hear what she was saying, the only feeling was pain. When the baby was born, I fainted. When I woke up, my mother-in-law congratulated me and said that I had given birth to a son. ”

She raised her head and looked at Xu Xi carefully: "If I give birth to a daughter, and the second lady gives birth to a son or two sons, I may wonder if she has dropped the child." After all, the big house has no son, which is beneficial to the second room. But it was my son who was hugged in front of me, and there was a pair of dragon and phoenix twins on her side, and I didn't suspect it at all. ”

"What about the mother-in-law? Is she still alive? Xu Xi asked. Don't be like the grandma next to Wei's side, suddenly sick and died, right?

"Alive." Zhu nodded, "She was taken out of the house by her son." I sent someone to ask her today, and she is already seventy years old, and she is confused, and she can't speak in the first and second words. ”

If this mother-in-law dies for no reason, she will not be suspicious at all. But the mother-in-law is living well, but people are confused.

She immediately shook her head again: "Even if she is not old and confused, it is estimated that she will not be able to ask anything." This mother-in-law was brought by me from my mother's family, and she is indeed very loyal, but she is not careful enough, confused, and not smart enough. If Wei really did something under her nose, it is estimated that she would not be able to find out. ”

"What about the mother who delivered the baby in the first place?" Xu Xi asked again.

"I asked someone to inquire, and Wen Po moved after she went back. Ask her neighbors, and no one knows where she has moved. ”

If it weren't for such a suspicion, both the old lady and the eldest lady felt that Xu Xi was alarmist and made up lies to gain the love of the eldest lady and make excuses for disobeying their biological mother.

Xu Xi remembered something, and asked again: "She should have opened the road guide when she left, right?" Did you send someone to check in the yamen? ”

"I've checked, but I haven't found it." Zhu shook his head.

They have been housewives for so many years, and these ways are still clear.

"Who else was there but them?"

"In addition to the mother-in-law and the stable mother-in-law, there are only people from the Wei family. But among the people around her, in addition to the dead grandmother, there are two maids. However, the maid did not enter the delivery room at that time, and only helped boil water and deliver things outside. The two have already been married, one died in childbirth, and the other married a small steward on Wei's Zhuangzi. I was worried about startling the snake, so I didn't send someone to interrogate the maid. ”
