Chapter 983: The East Strikes the West

Zhuo Hua and Zhuo Yu ate quickly and quietly.

Li Wenyuan looked at the two, but he didn't expect that these two seemingly informal people in the rivers and lakes should have no less etiquette. Zhuo Hua is just that, Zhuo Yu is next to Zhuo Hua, and he is as docile as a little sheep, in short, looking at the scar on his face, he can't see it at all, he will be so polite.

Like, appearances are still deceptive.

If Zhuo Yu knew Li Wenyuan's inner thoughts, it was estimated that he would be fried again. He was originally a man who knew etiquette and knew how to advance and retreat, okay! How did he become so unbearable in Li Wenyuan's eyes.

However, for Li Wenyuan, anyone who hurts his baby daughter, even if his nature is not so bad, in his eyes, he will be treated with prejudice. Who let him dare to kidnap his daughter, and let Huan'er blow the cold wind on the mountain, hum.

Zhuo Hua and Zhuo Yu had just finished their meal, and the next person also thoughtfully sent water to rinse their mouths. The two brothers had probably never been served like this, and they were a little restrained and unaccustomed for a while, but they didn't want to be ridiculed because of this, so they still rinsed their mouths hard.

Li Wenyuan looked at the expressions of the two brothers, and could probably guess how they were feeling at the moment, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't seem to notice it.

Zhuo Yu wiped his mouth, raised his head, and subconsciously glanced at Li Wenyuan, and found that his expression was not the slightest abnormal, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He always felt that with Li Wenyuan's temperament to treat him, it didn't look like Li Wenyuan's style if he didn't seize the opportunity to complain about him at this time.

But Li Wenyuan didn't do this, but it made Zhuo Yu feel a little better. After all, as a man, no matter what, there is still something difficult in terms of self-esteem.

He is not used to such a life of being served, but also because he has been wandering the rivers and lakes, after all, there was no son's life in the first place. Zhuo Yu had long been accustomed to that kind of life, and he was suddenly served like this at this time, so he naturally couldn't react.

Although Zhuo Hua had a little awkwardness in his heart, he was more knowledgeable than his younger brother, so he didn't show it on the surface.

After the subordinate had just removed the tableware, the subordinate who had gone out to investigate came back.

The steward stood at the door and saw the subordinate coming, hurriedly beckoned to him, and said, "But there is news?" ”

The servant nodded, and the steward went into the hall for instructions, and led him in.

The next person re-brewed the tea, the original tea had already cooled, and now in April, the wind blowing is still cold, with a hint of spring.

The smoke of the tea slowly floats, and the emerald green tea leaves jump up and down in the hot water, like a tireless child, immersed in his own world.

Li Wenyuan looked at his subordinates and asked, "But what did you find?" ”

The subordinate saluted Li Wenyuan, and then said: "Master Hui, Lan Xin did go out once a few days ago, and the reason she said was to go back to her hometown to visit relatives, but her subordinates sent someone to check, and the relatives she said had not seen Lan Xin that day. Therefore, it can be judged that Lan Xin probably lied. ”

When Li Wenyuan heard the news, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Did you find out, where did Lan Xin go that day?"

The subordinate lowered his head and continued to speak: "Later, the subordinates followed the clues to check, and that day Lan Xin seemed to have gone to a teahouse and entered a private room. This teahouse is also quite famous in the city, sir, you have been there a few times before, there is a master over there to tell the story, so there are still a lot of people who go. ”

As soon as these words came out, the housekeeper glanced at Li Wenyuan and saw a trace of disappointment in the eyes of his master.

As Lan Xin, how can he go to such a teahouse to consume? What's more, she entered a private room.

Then there is only one possibility, she went to meet someone, and this person's identity is not ordinary.

"And when did she come out of that private room?"

The subordinate put his hands in his sleeves and replied respectfully: "Back to my lord, Lan Xin seems to have only been in for less than an hour before she came out of the teahouse, and then she went around and bought some small things. thing, about to stall for time. Then she came back before dark. ”

Obviously, Lan Xin secretly went to meet someone that day, and it was in a place she couldn't afford. If it weren't for the ghost in his heart, why would Lan Xin lie?

Li Wenyuan can't think of any other reason now.

"Master, now do you want to call Lan Xin to ask?"

The housekeeper on the side noticed that Li Wenyuan's face was a little gloomy, and he was quiet for a long time before asking.

Li Wenyuan came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "I just can't understand why Lan Xin would do such a thing. If Huan'er knew, how sad she would be. After all, Lan Xin has been by Huan'er's side for more than a year, and she has already been friends. ”

The steward also sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't know what the old man was thinking in his heart, what the old man was thinking about was never why others would do such a thing, what he thought of was only his daughter's mood. can only say that I pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

The eldest lady is such a kind person, how could God bear to treat her like this? But fortunately, the eldest lady is fine, and the lord and the lady can finally rest assured.

It's just that this Lan Xin, the person in charge doesn't know what to say. It stands to reason that the old lady, the eldest lady, and even the entire Li Mansion are not thin on her, if she didn't do such a thing, why would she lie and deceive everyone?

In fact, at this moment, everyone doubted her heart, and she had already seven or eight points, and the rest was to determine whether this matter was true or false.

The steward felt that in the master's heart, there was probably already an answer.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such a thing.

Now, the person in charge only hopes that Lan Xin will not go too far in this matter. But betrayal is betrayal, so what's the difference? I hope that the eldest lady knows about this matter and can suffer less blows.

Zhuo Hua and Zhuo Yu saw Li Wenyuan's somewhat gloomy expression, and they could probably guess who this Lan Xin was.

Zhuo Hua still has a little impression of that little girl, after all, when he was setting up the stall that day, the maid shouted at the eldest lady while passing by the stall, and seemed to glance at herself in a hurry, but she didn't pay attention to herself, and soon flashed in front of her stall.

It turns out that the person who responded to the prefect was that little girl?

looks young, and there is an innocence in his eyes, is he actually such a person in his bones?

Zhuo Hua didn't say anything about this, and just shook his head lightly in his heart. In this world, there are many such people, who seem harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but in fact they are full of scheming and city government in their bones, and do some things to hurt others when others are not defensive, but on the surface they pretend that nothing has happened.

He has also seen many such people.

Dealing with such people is the most tiring, because I don't know when, maybe I will fall into the pit by myself.

And Zhuo Yu was more impressed by that little girl, after all, after he was caught in the Li Mansion last night, this girl ran in front of him and scolded herself, looking angry for her eldest lady.

But he didn't expect that this little girl was actually the one who hurt the eldest lady. I'm afraid that the eldest lady will find out and feel uncomfortable.

Zhuo Yu's eyes saw the girl's stubborn look, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. Although he did make a move on Li Qinghuan, he didn't really want to hurt this girl in his heart, he was in a hurry, afraid that Li Qinghuan would escape, so he wanted to catch her, but he was also worried that after the matter was revealed, his brother would be affected because of this.

From the subconscious in his heart, Zhuo Yu didn't want this girl to be hurt. It's probably because last night, she sat in front of the big tree, staring at the fireworks with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the happiness and love in her eyes were not hidden at all.

For Zhuo Yu, who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, such a simple happiness has not been possessed by him for many years. And after going through so many ups and downs, it is difficult to have such pure emotions. It was about that moment that the girl's expression touched his heartstrings, and when she rolled down the mountain, he didn't do his best to get her back.

Zhuo Yu has always buried this matter in his heart and did not say it. He didn't want to let his brother get hurt because of himself, but he had already done such a thing, and he couldn't change it.

Now, my brother has nothing to do, and his heart is finally a little more stable.

Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't forgive himself for the rest of his life. But when it comes to what he did, he doesn't regret it.

"Sir, what do you want to do now?"

The steward was quiet for a long time, and then asked softly.

Li Wenyuan came back to his senses, let go of the teacup in his hand, and said slowly: "This matter, don't look for Lan Xin first, it's not finalized yet, let's not startle the snake first." ”

Although the steward knew that Li Wenyuan said this, in fact, in his heart, I am afraid that he had already confirmed that this matter was done by Lan Xin.

But he didn't say anything after all, no matter what the master did, he respected the master's decision.

"Yes."

Li Wenyuan waved his hand lightly, and the steward responded knowingly, and then retreated with his subordinates.

"What does Gongzi Xie think is more appropriate?" Li Wenyuan suddenly turned his head sideways and looked at Xie Yu who was sitting beside him.

Xie Yu was coldly named, and when he raised his head, he saw Li Wenyuan's slightly melancholy expression.

It seems that Lan Xin's matter is indeed a bit of a blow to Master Li.

"Xie believes that since it can't be dealt with directly, it's okay to use other methods."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Sound to the west."

Xie Yu's thin lips opened lightly.
