Yuan stayed in the Yan'an Marquis Mansion until it was almost curfew before returning home.

But when she returned home, she realized that Li Yan had not returned.

"I'm really fascinated by the fox!" Yuan cursed viciously, washed himself and fell asleep.

And in an ordinary house in the capital, the young woman with a good face said to Li Yan with worry: "Doesn't it matter if Master Hou doesn't go back tonight?" Madame she ......"

"Don't mention that to me!" Li Yan, who was a little drunk, waved his hand very unhappily, "If it weren't for her, how could you and Hao'er not be able to return home?" ”

This young woman's name is Xia Qing'er, and she is the outer room raised by Li Yan.

Although he is not angry with the old marquis to raise the outer room, he also learns the same way, and he has not delayed at all.

Now that Xia Qing'er's son is seven or eight years old, he also has the idea of taking them to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.

That Xia Qing'er is not an ordinary woman, she was born in a Qinglou, and she knows how to please men the most.

"As long as the Hou Ye doesn't dislike it, the concubine is willing to live in this courtyard for the rest of her life, but she pities Hao'er," Xia Qing'er rubbed the corner of her eyes with her sleeve, "I'm afraid of delaying him......"

"You don't have to rush on this matter." Li Yan patted his chest, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I can't lose you and Hao'er!" ”

When Xia Qing'er heard this, she knew that she would accept it if she saw it.

So she blushed and said, "Since Hou Ye won't go back tonight, it's better to let the concubine serve Hou Ye to wash and change clothes!" ”

With that, she summoned the maid Xiaohong into the house.

As soon as Xiaohong entered the house, Li Yan's face changed greatly, and he grabbed Xiaohong's wrist and asked, "Where did you get this incense!" ”

It turned out that Li Yan actually smelled the smell of the new incense brought by the shopkeeper Zhou not long ago from Xiaohong's body.

Xiaohong was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and where had she ever experienced such a thing, she was so frightened that she threw the copper basin in her hand on the spot, and the water in the copper basin naturally splashed all over the ground.

"Master Hou spares his life!" The instinct to survive made Xiaohong lie on the ground without hesitation.

"I'll ask you, where did this incense come from!" Li Yan, who has been worried about this matter for the past few days, naturally has no good face.

Xiaohong didn't know what she had done wrong, so she had to reply tremblingly: "I bought it from the merchant for a bunch of copper coins." ”

"Merchant?" Li Yan obviously didn't believe it.

He may not know about other incense, but he listened to Zhou's shopkeeper say that making one or two incense sticks costs almost two taels of silver!

A copper coin can't be said to be buying incense, and it is impossible to buy even incense foam.

"I ...... I'm not lying! Xiaohong looked at her master Xia Qing'er as if asking for help, "When the merchant came that day, his wife was there." ”

Hearing Xiaohong say this, Xia Qing'er finally remembered that there was such a thing a few days ago, and she asked puzzledly: "Master Hou, is there anything wrong with this incense?" This is indeed what Xiaohong bought from the merchant half a month ago. ”

Half a month ago?!

As soon as he heard this, Li Yan felt that something was not right, but for a while, he couldn't remember what was wrong.

"Do you know the merchant?" Li Yan grabbed Xia Qing'er's hand and asked.

"It's considered to be acquaintance......" Xia Qing'er, who was dragged by Li Yan to the point of pain, struggled, "Over the years, he has been carrying his burden outside the door every once in a while......"

Hearing this, Li Yan's mind was full of that merchant, and he was no longer interested in doing anything else.

Xia Qing'er and the maid Xiaohong, who didn't know what was going on, were also nervous, and hurriedly waited for Li Yan to rest.

Before they could do it, they heard the merchant shouting in the alley outside.

Li Yan didn't say a word and arrested the person to Jingzhao Mansion and sued the merchant for theft.

For this trumped-up charge, the merchant was also confused.

"Wronged!" The merchant also knew that he would not cry out for himself this time, and he would not have a chance to shout again later.

Listening to the words of the two sides, Master Yin naturally had a big head, so he slapped the startled wood on the table and said angrily: "What the hell is going on!" ”

No matter how poor Li Yan is now, he still has a knighthood, and the old man of this mansion naturally didn't dare to really do anything to him, and ordered someone to move the Taishi chair, and let Li Yan sit and tell him about someone stealing incense from his Xixiang Hall to sell it.

When the merchant heard this, he naturally didn't recognize it.

"Lord Qingtian! What a great injustice! The merchant wailed, "My incense has come in from the Li family's incense shop in the West Market!" Please also take a look! ”

Li Jiaxiang shop in West Market?

Li Yan's face changed as soon as he heard this name.

After so many years, he still thought that this Li family incense shop would not be able to close down for a long time!

This Jingzhao Mansion Yin is not stupid.

Everyone in the capital knows that this Xixiangtang belongs to the Li family, and this Li family's incense shop is also from the Li family.

Don't let the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple, their family doesn't recognize the family.

Therefore, Nafu Yin smiled and said: "Since this is the case, it is better to call the steward of the Li family's incense shop to ask, it is not good to cause any misunderstanding!" ”

Li Yan just snorted coldly when he heard this, and then Fu Yin hurriedly sent someone to find someone from the Li family's incense shop.

Coincidentally, when the errand officer ran to the Li family's incense shop, Shi Jinxiu was taking Tang Quan in the shop, talking to the old man Zhu about what to do next.

"We can't leave this matter alone!" Shi Jinxiu said to Tang Quan and Zhu Laohan, "People were arrested for helping us sell things, if we can't fish out all the people, who else is willing to help Li Jiaxiang's shop sell things in the future?" ”

Tang Quan also thinks this is the reason.

He hugged his fist at Shi Jinxiu: "Tang Quan is willing to accompany Mrs. you to Jingzhao Mansion!" ”

"I'll go with the old man, too!" Zhu Laohan listened and followed.

The group followed the messenger to Jingzhao Mansion.

That Jingzhao Mansion Yin just wanted to find someone from the Li family's incense shop to ask about the situation, but he didn't expect that so many people came.

And he recognized Tang Quan.

Although he knew that Tang Quan was just a steward under Yu Wenyan, Lord Yin of Nafu still got up and greeted him personally.

Even Li Yan had never enjoyed such treatment, so Li Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Steward Tang, why did this still alarm you?" Nafu Yin asked with a smile.

"Didn't you want to find out the situation from the steward of the Li family's incense shop? I am the steward of Li's incense shop. Tang Quan said coldly.

Although he is lame now, after all, he is a person who has been a Yulin guard, and when he puts on his face, he gives people a sense of slaughter.

Nafu Yin was shocked when he heard it.

This Tang Quan is Yu Wenyan's manager, and Tang Quan said that he is in charge of the Li family incense shop, could it be that this Li family incense shop is actually in the name of the living Yan Luo Yu Wenyan?

As soon as he thought of this, the Jingzhao Mansion Yin smiled all over his face: "May I ask ...... this Li family incense shop?"

"Yes!" Before the Jingzhao Mansion Yin finished speaking, Tang Quan answered, "That shop is indeed my family's adult!" ”
