Early in the morning, Li Hanyao was having breakfast with her parents, watching chess and holding a pair of delicate silver chopsticks, standing between Li Zhuohang and Jiang Yuzhen to serve; Tingqin was waiting beside Li Hanyao, and the rest such as Zheng's mother were outside.

Pin Ming came with a food box.

The book connoisseur hurriedly lifted the curtain.

Tasting tea came in, opened the food box, and brought out a blue and white porcelain bowl sent by Guanyin, a large bowl of delicate bean curd, and a plate of sesame oil shrimp and tender bamboo shoots seasoning, put it on the table, fragrant, appetizing.

Guanqi shrugged his nose and said, "It's so fragrant!" ”

Hurriedly scooped a small bowl and put it in front of Jiang Yuzhen.

"Mrs. drink a bowl. The craftsmanship of tea tasting is good. ”

Then, he scooped it for Li Zhuohang.

Jiang Yuzhen said: "I'm full." You can eat this bowl. And this crystal dumpling, eat it while it's hot, so that you can accompany your girl to get busy. ”

Guan Qi said: "Hey." Mrs. Xie. ”

If you really pick up the bowl and eat it.

I took the crystal dumplings and ate them.

Jiang Yuzhen saw her standing like this, and ate a bowl of bean curd and two dumplings in a moment, and said busily: "Sit down and eat." Don't choke. ”

Guan Qi said: "No. The servant was soon full. ”

Jiang Yuzhen pursed her lips and said, "You are really easy to feed." ”

Guanqi said proudly: "The servant is very easy to feed, hard, and the most tenacious." ”

The crowd laughed.

Jiang Yuzhen's smile was also clearer, and he stared at Guan Qi's face carefully, and said, "I made a fuss all night last night, you are okay, you don't look like you stayed up all night." He looked at Li Hanyao again and said, "Yao'er is not as good as you, her eyes are a little blue." ”

Li Hanyao was drinking bean curd when she stopped hearing the words.

Guan Qi hurriedly asked: "The girl didn't sleep well last night?" ”

Li Hanyao looked at her resentfully and was silent.

At this moment, Zheng's mother came in.

"Master, wife, girl, Pan Meilin is dead."

Li Zhuohang and the others were stunned.

Li Hanyao lost her voice and said, "He is willing to die? ”

Li Zhuohang said: "He has resisted all his sins and kept Concubine Pan!" ”

Guan Qi intercepted: "It's not that simple! If he is not sure, he will die in vain - the queen mother and the queen will not let go of Pan Guifei. He is willing to die, there must be a conspiracy, but he can keep the concubine and the Pan family safe. ”

Li Zhuohang said: "Call the housekeeper!" ”

Zheng's mother said, "Yes." ”

Hurriedly went out and sent someone to call Steward Mo.

When I was young, Butler Mo came.

Li Zhuohang instructed: "You asked Mo Wen Mowu to investigate: From last night to this morning, Pan Meilin has seen whom." Then inquire about what to do with Lord Chincha. ”

Butler Mo said, "Yes." ”

Turned around and hurried away.

Here, the servant woman had just cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and she continued to go back and forth outside: "Young Master Luo is here." "Uncle's wife has arrived."

Everyone was busy seeing Mrs. Jiang first.

The red tide on Luo Wuchen's face has not yet faded, and he is nervous in his heart, half because of shame, and half because the poison in his body has not been eradicated.

He didn't dare to go back to the Li family, but because Ning Zhiyuan went back and told him that the Li family had taken Pan Zichen's master and servant, he was surprised in his heart: What about the woman?

It turned out that he didn't tell Ning Zhiyuan last night about the woman he met in the painting boat, he thought that he had already sent someone to report to Li Zhuohang, and Li Zhuohang only needed to send someone to search the painting boat, and all men and women would be searched.

Who knew that only Pan Zichen's master and servant were found!

What about the mysterious woman?

What about the maid who deceived him?

In order to find out about this, Luo Wuchen was even more afraid that Li Hanyao would be calculated by an unknown opponent, so he hurried back without caring about the poison in his body.

He only asked to see Li Zhuohang.

Li Zhuohang saw him in the study, but Li Hanyao and Guanqi also came after a turn in front of his uncle's wife, and asked him about something.

Luo Wuchen saw the two of them and didn't dare to raise his eyes.

Li Zhuohang asked: "Wuchen, tell me carefully, what happened last night?" ”

Guan Qi also said: "Yes, Young Master Luo." We are all confused, and we are worried about you, afraid that you will be plotted by others. You okay? ”

Luo Wuchen nodded shamefully and said, "I'm fine." He asked Li Zhuohang again: "Uncle Li, did you really only catch Pan Zichen?" ”

Li Zhuohang said: "There is also a small guy. When questioned, the little guy said that they had two helpers who had put down the boatmen on our boat before leaving, and watched the wind on the other side of the river. We didn't catch it, so we ran away. ”

Luo Wuchen asked: "No woman?" ”

Li Zhuohang said: "No." ”

Luo Wuchen lost his voice and said: "It's strange! ”

Li Hanyao asked, "Have you met a woman?" ”

Luo Wuchen's face was originally red, but at the moment it was even redder with blood, and even his ears were red, his neck was bruised and his tendons were bulging, and he stammered: "No, no, I met!" ”

He weighed the stakes and made a quick decision, and told him about the fact that he had been tricked into going to the painting boat by a girl, and told him again about seeing a woman in the painting boat.

All he said was that he saw a woman collapsed in the cabin.

After all, he still didn't want to tell Sister Li about his hugging with another woman, even if he was calculated.

Li Hanyao hurriedly asked, "What does she look like?" ”

Luo Wuchen said: "I didn't see it clearly." ”

Watching the chess asked, "What are the characteristics?" ”

Luo Wuchen hurriedly said: "Yes! She has more than two inches of nails on both ring and little fingers, which are very sharp. ”

There was silence in the room.

The three of them all looked at him strangely, as if wondering why he had been so clear about the details when he hadn't seen each other clearly.

Luo Wuchen was so embarrassed that he was about to cry, and reluctantly said to Li Zhuohang: "The junior found out that something was wrong at that time, and he wanted to escape in a hurry. She stretched out her hands and asked me to save her, and the moonlight that came in through the window saw her with long nails on her hands. ”

Li Zhuohang didn't say anything, he saw that Luo Wuchen was wrong, and this matter was probably not so simple, so he wanted to find an excuse to send his daughter out.

At this moment, someone outside replied: "Master, Li Zhuowang has returned from Huizhou." ”

Li Zhuohang immediately said to Li Hanyao: "Yao'er, you go, ask how the situation of the Taiping business in Huizhou is, the silver can be brought." ”

Li Hanyao hurriedly got up and retired from watching chess.

Luo Wuchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zhuohang asked him carefully, and after asking clearly, he said in a deep voice: "What kind of medicine do you use, ask Mozhu to help you get a copy of it, and then you can get rid of the poison on your body first." Just in case, let Mozhu follow you these days. ”

Luo Wuchen hurriedly got up to thank him and say goodbye.

Mo Zhu accompanied him back to the guest house to take a bath.

Li Hanyao met Li Zhuowang in the flower hall.

Since Butcher Ye came to Li's house, Li Zhuowang has freed his hands and often traveled back and forth between Huizhou and Huzhou, spreading news and escorting goods.

This time, Li Hanyao sent him to draw the silver root.

After sitting down, Li Hanyao ordered someone to serve tea.

Li Zhuowang couldn't care about drinking tea, and hurriedly said: "Girl, Li Zhuoyuan said that he had no money, and he was pressed on the goods, and he couldn't turn away for a while." ”

Li Hanyao's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it: "He really said that? ”

Li Zhuowang nodded, also very angry.

Li Hanyao said fiercely: "His wings are hard!" Thinking that the ten-year period was approaching, and all the transactions in Huizhou Mansion would belong to his house, he refused to listen to the dispatch of the general firm. And that's not there yet! ”
