Zhou Yunxi had already known about Xilingying's difficulty, so there was no surprise in her reaction at this time. She only glanced at Xiling Ying, and then said, "I have a lot, and it is not rare to lie to you." ”

At the end of these words, Xiling Ying's eyes suddenly became resentful, as if he regretted that he didn't ask for more just now.

Zhou Yunxi's scalp was numb by such a look, and he immediately turned his face slightly, took out the ornaments inside and put them on the stone table, and then soaked the clean white handkerchief with the water in the small porcelain bottle, and at the end, the gold and silver ornaments were carefully wiped with a white handkerchief.

"No problem." After the last small bracelet was wiped, Zhou Yunxi spoke softly, "It's just that who will send something to your unborn child?" Or was it transferred by a maid? ”

"I don't know." Xiling Ying shook her head, "When the girl came back, she said that she hadn't seen that person, and the people from the Western Regions hadn't entered Beijing, so she wasn't from my side." ”

"Even if they want to give a gift, they won't let the maid pass it on to me."

Xilingying's face is not very good-looking, although the person who gave the gift does not seem to have malicious intent, but he doesn't know his identity, which is the most headache for Xilingying.

"You brought this box back?"

Zhou Yunxi thought for a while and looked at the maid who presented the box.

"Yes." The maid stood up very cooperatively and saluted Zhou Yunxi slightly, "That person is a head taller than the slave maid, he looks very young, and his appearance is relatively ...... Erudite? Seeing that there was no danger or attack power, he stuffed the box into the slave maid, and left a sentence of 'a gift for the child in the womb of the county lord of your family', and then left. ”

"The slave felt that it was inappropriate at that time, and wanted to ask, so she stopped the man." The maid said for a moment, and then said with some shame: "Later, I found out that I was not as good as that person, so I let him run away." ”

The maid was knowledgeable, knew that Zhou Yunxi's status was not low, and she also knew that she had a good relationship with her master, so she made it clear what happened at that time without Zhou Yunxi asking.

Moreover, looking at Zhou Yunxi's posture, it was clear that he wanted to find out the person who sent the things.

In this case, what is there about the maid not to cooperate?

"So you brought this unknown thing back to the Northwest Hou Mansion?" Zhou Yunxi frowned, Xilingying's maid should not have such a low-level mistake, so there should be other reasons.

"Because the bottom of this box is engraved with the word 'Northwest', which is very similar to what the slave maid saw on the Hou Mansion token, I brought it back."

"But I haven't opened the box, I wanted to tell the adult, but a few days ago, the adult was busy, and he was in a hurry to take care of the county lord when he returned home, and the slave was afraid that there was a problem with the box, so he didn't dare to hand it over when the adult and the county lord were together."

"It's been dragged on until today."

The maid's voice was unhurried, and it was clear that she was not worried that they would suspect her. As for what she said, it is true, Lin Qing really didn't have a time when she was alone.

Xiling Ying often couldn't think of it, and the maid couldn't find a chance, so she could only drag it again and again.

As for the Northwest Hou and the second son, in the eyes of the maid, they are actually not as reliable as Lin Qing. Besides, this is Lin Qing's matter in this room, what's the matter with telling the people in the other room?

Even if the relationship between the two brothers is good, Lin Qing can't handle it?

"Engraved with the word 'Northwest'?" Zhou Yunxi didn't care about the maid's words, she saw the box turned over, revealing the words engraved on the bottom, "I don't know if Lord Lin is wearing the token from your mansion?" ”

"Nature."

Lin Qing bowed his head, he was familiar with these two words when he looked at the traces, and a person flashed in his heart. It's just that things have just started to be queried, and it is impossible to determine.

"It's so similar."

Zhou Yunxi put the token and box handed over by Lin Qing left and right, and carefully checked the handwriting and workmanship on it. After a while, he looked at Lin Qing meaninglessly.

"Maybe you, the elder, are interested in repairing the relationship with your Northwest Hou Mansion."

This statement was meaningful, making Lin Qing frown fiercely.

He knew that the so-called 'elders' in Zhou Yunxi's words were talking about Yang Zheng, but Yang Zheng, a wolf with ambition, had already been blacklisted by Chu Ci. As Chu Ci's confidant, Lin Qing can be said to be clear.

Such a person intends to repair relations with the Northwest Hou Mansion, saying that he has no other purpose, and no fool will believe it! What's more, Lin Qing is still very smart, how can he not notice that something is wrong?

Yang Zheng was not stupid, he knew that Lin Qing must be on Chu Ci's side. Coupled with the dirty things of the previous generation, he didn't come to visit the Northwest Hou Mansion when he first entered Beijing.

That being the case, why did Yang Zheng give this gift?

"I am happy to find out my conscience and care for my younger generations." Zhou Yunxi shrugged, "It is already obvious that he does not identify himself, and only uses this box that people have to pay attention to." ”

"I'm afraid there are other intentions."

Qin Fengyi's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he gently put down one of the bracelets.

At this time, Zhou Yunxi remembered that Qin Fengyi had just sniffed the tip of his nose with this small bracelet. Combined with those words, Zhou Yunxi's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

"It's not poisonous, but something else?"

Zhou Yunxi and Lin Qing said in unison, Xiling was in the clouds, and raised his hand to pick up a bracelet to look. But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was taken into his arms by Zhou Yunxi, and at the same time looked at Lin Qing with a slight warning.

She said: "The county lord can't touch it, and you can't touch it either." ”

Lin Qing was stunned, then pursed her lips and nodded.

He knew that Zhou Yunxi was afraid that if there was another problem with the hand ring, after he touched it, he would be involved in Xilingying.

"There's spice on it!" Following Qin Fengyi's action just now and sniffing the bracelet, Zhou Yunxi's complexion changed suddenly, "Although it is non-toxic, I remember that this spice is added to some medicinal herbs." ”

"What herbs?"

Lin Qing asked, but had no intention of touching it.

"Make some sachets or herbs for sachets." Zhou Yunxi frowned, not wanting to talk more on this issue, "People who wear this kind of sachet or medicine pouch will attract beasts. ”

"Where are the beasts in Beijing? And isn't it just the taste of spices? Xiling was puzzled, "In this case, the spices on it are useless?" ”

"Who said there were only spices?" Zhou Yunxi glanced at Xiling Ying, and her face became more and more ugly, "It's just that this smell is relatively strong, and those medicinal materials have been mixed in." ”

"Yang Zheng raised three wolves in a house." Qin Fengyi spoke in a deep voice, looking at Lin Qing's eyes with a little depth, "You guys are very lucky, you haven't opened this box." ”

Qin Fengyi's words made Lin Qing's forehead ooze cold sweat, and he knew the meaning of Qin Fengyi's words.

If Lin Qing opened it without knowing it before, and then gave it to Xiling Ying, so that both of them were contaminated with this smell, and then he wandered around the street, those three wolves would definitely notice!
