Chapter Forty-Eight: False Rumors

So Ling Xiao said in a somewhat mocking tone: "Untrue rumors? Scold! ”

There was a bit of nonchalance in the tone of the last word, and she glanced at the twelve mothers who were a little uneasy.

Said slowly, "Really? There was a kind of distrust in these two words, which made her face red on the other side.

Although Ling Xiao has not entered the capital much over the years, he also knows that the whole society is characterized by prominent class contradictions.

During the reign of the first emperor, there was still a bit of a system, and after his death, a new emperor was replaced, and the whole regime became more erosive.

Because the new emperor was jointly supported by some powerful people, after he ascended the throne, he wantonly made his heroes and demoted other officials.

Many upstarts felt that their whole family was going to ascend to heaven, and many people were stunned by the emperor's large rewards, and many people floated up directly.

The powerful people who can stay know that it is not very good, but they can't stop everyone's desire to swell, boast of being superior, and want new tricks.

The ordinary people left in the capital have seen all kinds of tricks and tosses of the magnates, and the so-called King Yongjun is one of them, doesn't he just want to show that he has taken an unusual path?

This is just to show that he doesn't take the usual path, most of the men he likes are strong, anyway, he once made a fuss, but in the end he was suppressed, and there were rumors exposed.

Twelve Niang's face turned pale after listening to Ling Xiao's words, because she naturally understood that it was impossible for her to act arbitrarily, she had her own child, so she naturally had to advance and retreat with the people of the Hou Mansion, and it was impossible to offend the people pointed out by Ling Xiao.

She will never be able to take the safety of her family to save San Lang and Goro, after the new emperor ascends the throne, whether it is her mother's family or her husband's family, her power has decreased a lot, and it can even be said that she can only endure a little, they always think that one day they will be able to get better, and there will be more people together.

There are scruples in her heart, naturally she can't let go, she can't do Ling Xiao's carelessness, and she can also hear the disdain in her words, Twelve Niang looked at her, obviously there is no Tao family behind her now, and there is no support, but it makes her more free and easy.

Twelve Niang looked at her, she was still so calm, and she also felt a little wronged, she was really powerless, because she didn't dare to do anything, and there was no result after doing it, it would only make the whole family suffer a lot of blows, and she had to grovel.

Hearing the mockery in Ling Xiao's words, she also knew that the other party's rebuttal was reasonable, what Ling Xiao said just now was true, and there were also nobles who fell in love with cannibalism, causing someone to sell some children back to fatten up and eat again.

People who know about this are tacit, pretending not to know about this kind of thing at all, and in their opinion, as long as the child being eaten is not their own child, they will put up with it for the time being.

Although she would never dare to resist, it didn't mean that she would agree with the cannibalism, and she felt very disgusted when she thought about it, and prayed in her heart that person would die quickly.

Thinking of this, Twelve Niang felt very uncomfortable, and because of Ling Xiao's tone with a thick disbelief, Twelve Niang was angry and anxious, and felt embarrassed.

The Tao family girl in front of her was very calm, as if everything in Twelve Niang was not in her heart, and it seemed that all her thoughts were known to the other party.

She was a little annoyed and angry, and said, "Forget it, I'm just a troubled person, why bother asking for hardship, but make my cousin feel bad about me." ”

Ling Xiao glanced at Twelve Niang after hearing this, and then said slowly: "Daddy and Niang before leaving." Once asked me to take good care of both of them. ”

"If I don't take good care of them, won't I see my father and mother underground in the future?" Ling Xiao continued.

Seeing that the other party's twelve mothers suddenly lost color after hearing this, their bodies trembled, and their hands grabbed the things in front of them.

She was obviously very resistant to what Ling Xiao had just said, as if she had heard something that she couldn't say.

Ling Xiao saw that there was no change on the surface, but he was still a little surprised in his heart.

Twelve Niang, what's wrong? Why does she feel like she has a lost heart.

You don't seem to have said anything excessive, do you?

Why did this man become like this?

It was as if she had thought of something herself.

How frightened her is?

What the hell is going on with Twelve Niang?

It's as if the whole spirit has suddenly lost a lot.

What secrets does she have? Is it related to the original owner?

At this moment, Twelve Niang is trying to control her body.

But her body was still trembling, as if she had thought of something terrible.

At the same time, her face turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Ling Xiao, who had been holding her up, showed a somewhat surprised expression, because it felt really strange.

Thinking back to the conversation between the two people, Twelve Niang didn't have any problems at first, until just now.

It is said that the current San Lang and Wu Lang have nothing to do with Twelve Niang, so she doesn't have to be so afraid.

Even if something happens, it can't involve her, could it be that she thinks of some future? The scene is terrifying, and it makes her feel terrible?

There is this possibility, so that she feels unable to fight after discovering something, which causes Twelve Niang to look like she has a nervous breakdown.

Anyway, the Twelve Niang at this moment gave her a very weird feeling, and she struggled and smiled under Ling Xiao's gaze, this smile was extremely erratic.

It actually made Ling Xiao feel a strange feeling, and saw that the lips of Twelve Niang at this moment became a little pale, her hands were clasped, and her body trembled extremely slightly.

Looking at Ling Xiao's eyes with a bit of desperation, and a little pleading, Twelve Niang shook her head, obviously she didn't want people to know everything in her heart, she wanted to be quiet.

Ling Xiao didn't stay any longer, smiled and said, "Then thank you for the hospitality, it's not too early, I should also say goodbye, goodbye, Twelve Niang." ”

After saying that, she took Ah Wu away, and the twelve mothers behind did not stop her, and after watching the figure go away, she couldn't hold it anymore, and the whole person softened.

She feels that her head hurts so much, she is still her, she is still so good, why is she not as good as her no matter how hard she works?

Obviously, everyone unanimously said that she was a virtuous and generous woman, and she was still a talented woman with real materials, and she could be said to be a top noblewoman.

But when she saw it today, she found that she had changed, she had not deteriorated, and now she was even more eye-catching.

What she said just now made Twelve Niang feel very uncomfortable, as if she was a trustless person at all.

But this is the reality that forced her to be a faithless person, but she has no drag and has become dazzling.

What's even worse is that Twelve Niang can't say what the other party said, what she said is wrong.

The words that the other party said were cut in his heart like a knife at the moment.

If she could, she would rather not provoke the calculating Ling Xiao herself.

It's a pity that Twelve Niang knew all this too late.

She didn't like her very much.

Ay! Twelve Niang was finally helped back.

I had to rest well for a while after being in bed.

As for Ling Xiao, she didn't care about the attitude of the Twelve Niangs when she left.

She decided to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the capital and buy something useful.

Just when she walked out into the street after buying a lot of things, she heard someone say, "Mama Dou." ”

This sentence suddenly made Ling Xiao follow the sound, because she had been looking for someone all these years.

The person who instigated the poisoning of Mama was called Mama Dou, and she had no clue all this time.

In ancient society, it was impossible to find out a black technology computer, and a few women surnamed Dou could be found.

And most women stay at home, which leads to Ling Xiao never finding the mastermind behind the buyer's grandmother.

The main reason is that Ling Xiao has never found that Mama Dou, she is not familiar with the magnates in the capital, so she has not met Mama Dou.

In addition, she was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to get rid of Mama Dou to prevent the whole thing from leaking out, so she didn't think that she would definitely find out the initiator.

I didn't expect that I was so lucky today, I came out for a walk and met Mama Dou, Ling Xiao pretended not to know anything and looked over, and saw a woman at a glance.

It was a woman who was very neatly tidied up, and that face was exactly the same as what Mama Fang had described, Ling Xiao had asked Mama Fang about Mama Dou's physical features, and she also drew it with charcoal in the form of a sketch.

After the portrait was drawn, it was recognized by Mama Fang's mother and daughter as Mama Dou, which is really very similar. After a few years, I saw that Mama Dou was a little old, and there were people around her, and the two of them said while walking, Mama Dou turned her head as if she felt something.

And before that, Ling Xiao had already turned her head to look at the other side, looking at something else, Mama Dou looked at it and didn't find who was looking at her, so naturally she didn't think much about it, because it was a relatively normal operation to walk on the road and look around. Ling Xiao decided to follow Mama Dou to see if it was someone from that place. It takes a while to go to Yandi, and you must notify the other party first, so that the people in Yanwangfu know.

After seeing Mama Dou, Ling Xiao planned to let people stare at Mama Dou, and then go to see Eighteen Niang later, but now she still finds Mama Dou's lair first.

Because Ling Xiao's image is very recognizable, it is naturally impossible to run to track people by herself, but let the old-looking coachman who follows her do it.

Speaking of which, the coachman is still the man left by the original owner's father, although he is nominally a coachman, but according to Ling Xiao's observation, it is just a name.

The coachmen who followed their siblings were all good and had the nature of bodyguards, so they should have been specially trained.

Later, when Ling Xiao trained those children, they followed the study, and their skills improved a lot, and they were very loyal to Ling Xiao.

Over the years, they have seen Ling Xiao's powerful methods, and after hearing the order, the old coachman slowly followed Dou Mama and them.

And Ling Xiao couldn't stand on the street and wait, so he took Ah Wu into a teahouse on the side of the road to rest.

The teahouse is not too big, it looks very well cleaned, and after sitting down, it feels like a good word.

Ling Xiao knelt down and ordered some snacks, but she didn't order tea.

As someone who has drunk green tea, black tea, and black tea.

There is some acceptance of the current way of drinking tea.

Ling Xiao has long known that the way of drinking tea now is different from that of later generations.

The tea leaves are crushed into tea powder, and then brewed into tea soup.

In addition to the tea powder, the problem is that there will be all kinds of other things in the tea soup, such as those with added salt.

EMMMMM! Ling Xiao couldn't afford this way, this was not drinking tea at all, but eating tea.

In the process of brewing, there are many beautiful patterns, for which many people are very fond of competitions, called tea fights.

Ling Xiao crossed over and found that the original owner didn't like to drink tea very much, and one of the important reasons was that she couldn't sleep at night after drinking tea.

This situation leads to Ling Xiao being able to skip tea after passing through, of course, he will occasionally taste it, but he still can't accept it, if it is milk tea, it is okay.

Of course, Ling Xiao also knew that tea was actually edible, and in later generations, there were still people who ate tea, such as matcha cakes, and special banquets with tea as ingredients, which proved that they were completely edible.

But she still can't accept tea drinking in this era, each other's concepts are different, Ling Xiao naturally can't force others to be the same as herself, she would rather drink boiled water. Of course, she feels that she is fortunate to be a bystander, and she is lucky to open her eyes, which is a process in tea culture.

After Ling Xiao sat down, there were two waves of people fighting tea in today's teahouse, and they were competing with each other with their own tea, and Ling Xiao didn't attract their attention at all after he came in.

Ling Xiaole was idle, just sitting in one place and waiting, Ah Wu followed aside, only the doctor in the teahouse was a little surprised, and someone came in with a mask?

Fortunately, I could see that this guest was wearing a mask to cover his face, but the exposed part was very good, but I didn't know more about it.

But it can be seen that this person is still relatively cultivated, but Dr. Tea still doesn't dare to say anything, and he doesn't even dare to look more.

Ling Xiao ate slowly, as a person who has experienced a lot of worlds, her demeanor will definitely not be bad.

The whole person is sitting there like a landscape painting as a whole, and the whole person seems to be very leisurely and contented.

It wasn't until the tea fight was over that he noticed Ling Xiao, and he couldn't be sure what his identity was for a while.

They were all thinking what was this guy here for? It's impossible to go up and ask who it is?

said that she was born in a lowly person, but her whole personality is very noble.

said that she was the daughter of a wealthy family, and only brought a maid.

But I don't know why they didn't dare to speak out loud.

Maybe it's because she senses the atmosphere around her, which is very elegant.

They were reluctant to leave for a while, but they didn't dare to come forward to disturb them.

Ling Xiao naturally sensed the prying eyes of others, but she didn't plan to pursue anything.

At this time, the old coachman who was sent out to follow Mama Dou had already come back and talked to Ah Wu.

Ling Xiao asked Ah Wu to let the old coachman go to eat first, and followed them out of the teahouse with a relaxed expression.

And the people in the teahouse waited for her to leave, because they could tell that this woman should be a Taoist child.

I just don't know if I'm practicing at home? Or do you practice in a Taoist temple? Someone was a little anxious when they saw Ling Xiao leaving, and wanted to come forward and ask.

As a result, Ling Xiao glanced back, so that the person who wanted to make friends didn't dare to step forward, Ling Xiao didn't have a vicious outside, but after facing those calm eyes, the person didn't dare to move forward at all.
