Everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Wenxi's body, but he was not allowed to defend himself at all, Ling Shu was his little servant, his person, and this book fell from him, and Ling Shu's begging for mercy seemed to confirm that this book was Zhao Wenxi's.

The guests looked at each other a little, Zhao Tingshan's bad account of abandoning Wen Congwu is not a secret in Dengzhou, and he also knows that the old lady Zhao has always tabooed this, and Zhao Wenxi is talented and intelligent, and it is well known that he has high hopes for the Zhao family, and now this situation, it seems that Zhao Wenxi is going to follow in his father's footsteps?

When Liu saw that it was her son who had an accident, she immediately panicked, and a pair of children was her weakness.

She hurriedly walked out, so fast that Zhao Siyan didn't stop her, saluted the old lady Zhao, and then said: "Back to my father's words, this book belongs to the husband, the sun fell in Wenxi's study, today I specially asked the book to be taken back to the husband." ”

Zhao Siyan couldn't help but shake his head, Liu's explanation is not tenable at all, but it will confirm that this book is Liu's, the words of a small guy are not the same as the words of a master, Liu's wants to defend Zhao Wenxi, but it hurts him.

Zhao Wenkang raised his eyebrows, and his little face was full of innocence: "Second aunt, is this the second uncle's book?" The second uncle is strong in martial arts, and he still needs to watch this? ”

Liu's face immediately turned pale, it is exactly like this, Zhao Tingshan has been practicing martial arts for many years, but this book is entry-level, how could Zhao Tingshan read this?

Liu couldn't help but look at Zhao Siyan for help, Zhao Siyan also had a headache for a while, his brain was running fast, and he didn't know how to say it.

Zhao Tingshan also stood up, protected his daughter-in-law and son behind him, and said in a relaxed tone: "Dad, this book is indeed mine, and it was inadvertently left in Wen Xi's study that day, I am not worried about causing a misunderstanding, so I want to bring the book back." ”

Yes, Liu's pit son is not enough, and the father will also step on it, Zhao Siyan sighed helplessly.

The eldest lady said at this time: "Second brother, don't protect Wen Xi, don't let him take a detour, Wen Xi is a rare good seedling, my father still expects him to shine on the lintel for the Zhao family, it is enough to have a soldier in the family, Wen Xi will not be interested in martial arts, right?" ”

The eldest lady would not let go of such a good opportunity, and sure enough, hearing this, Old Lady Zhao's face became even more ugly, and even Old Lady Zhao's face was very unswerving.

Today is her birthday banquet, Li Junze was able to come in person to give her enough face, but something like this happened in the second room, isn't this embarrassing for her?

Old lady Zhao stared at Zhao Wenxi with a pair of cloudy eyes: "Is this book yours?" ”

Zhao Wenxi couldn't help but tremble slightly, in the Zhao family, Old Lady Zhao was definitely an authority, and he had an instinctive fear of his grandfather.

Before Zhao Wenxi could speak, Ling Shu began to kowtow, "Please be kind to the old lady, spare the little one's life, the fifth young master, the fifth young master, you save the little one, this book is yours, it has nothing to do with the small one, the little one is just doing it according to orders, the little one is doing his best for you, you can't ignore the little one!" ”

Ling Shu's words made everyone's faces change.

Zhao Wenxi looked at Ling Shu stubbornly, this little guy who had been with him almost since he was a child, but he seemed to know him for the first time.

Just dared Zhao Wenxi was still thinking about it, if something like this happened, he would definitely not be able to be good, he was still hesitating, he should do things alone, and he couldn't even affect Lingshu, but before he could save Lingshu, Lingshu actually betrayed his master!

Zhao Wenxi suddenly remembered what Zhao Siyan had reminded him before, when Zhao Siyan found out that he had read the martial arts book, he also reminded him, be careful of Lingshu, he was still excusing Lingshu at that time, but now it seems that he has betrayed him a long time ago!

This is the first time Zhao Wenxi has felt betrayed, and it is from the person who has accompanied him since childhood, which makes him feel very uncomfortable, and this sadness is even greater than the fear brought by this crisis in front of him.

He couldn't understand why Lingshu betrayed him, if he treated Lingshu well? He looked at Ling Shu's gaze with deep disappointment.

But Ling Shu avoided his gaze and did not look at him.

"I'll ask again! Is this book yours?! Old Lady Zhao asked sharply.

Zhao Wenxi trembled, everyone was looking at him, and Zhao Siyan, who had always loved him, did not stand up this time, he closed his eyes, and then opened them, his eyes were clear: "Back to grandfather's words, this book belongs to his grandson." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, even Zhao Wenkang didn't expect Zhao Wenxi to admit it so simply, the young Zhao Wenkang couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips and showed a smug smile.

Zhao Siyan also smiled, she sighed lightly, and said in a low voice: "It's stupid." ”

Green Lotus glanced at her young lady quickly, and always felt that her young lady didn't mean this, obviously scolding the fifth young master for being stupid, but why was that expression so gratifying?

Of course, Zhao Siyan is pleased, her younger brother, at a young age, has learned to take responsibility, which is actually a rare quality.

A child as old as Zhao Wenxi, especially the one who is favored by the family, makes a big mistake, and is generally worried that he will fall out of favor and not be loved by his elders, so his first reaction is to shirk responsibility, and even go to find a scapegoat, and even find a way to pick himself clean, and even believe himself.

But Zhao Wenxi didn't, when something happened, he chose to bear it, even if he knew that this mistake was very big, and it was likely that he couldn't afford it himself, but he didn't run away and didn't throw the mistake to others, which in Zhao Siyan's view, was even more commendable.

Old lady Zhao's face was pale, Zhao Siyan was about to stand up and relieve the little guy, but there was a person who was one step faster than her.

Li Junze glanced at Jiang Yi.

"What's your book? It's my book, but if you pick it up, it's yours? How can it be so good! Jiang Yi said lazily: "You kid, do you still want to take away people's favors?" ”

Everyone was stunned and set their eyes on Jiang Yi.

Old Lady Zhao was about to be furious, but at this time, he was angry and held back, he looked at Jiang Yi in disbelief: "This book belongs to Jiang Guard?" ”

Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhao Wenxi: "You said it yourself, is this book mine?" ”

Zhao Wenxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "It's yours." "But you've already given it to me! He also said that when my face is better, Ma Bu will start to learn the above moves!

This was given to him by Jiang Yi the last time they met, and this was still a martial arts book that Jiang Guards had selected for the enlightenment of children, but it took him a lot of trouble.

Zhao Wenkang was stunned, he had already bought the order book, knowing that Zhao Wenxi had secretly hidden martial arts books, and had been trying to find an opportunity to debunk him, so that his grandfather and grandmother would be disappointed in him.

But he didn't expect that this book was actually Jiang Yi's.

"This book was dropped last time when I lived in Zhuangzi with the prince, and it was ...... by this kid was picked up by the fifth young master, this kid is sincere, he has to say that he has to return it to me, and he has to return it to others if he says anything he picks up, he is too stupid to do it...... Well, it's not okay to be honest and well-behaved. Jiang Yi said, "I originally said that I could just let Lord Zhao help turn the corner, but Lord Zhao was busy with official business, and I forgot it several times, and this time I saw that I came to the Zhao family with the prince, and the fifth young master quietly found me and said that he would return it to me in person, and specially asked this little guy to go back to get it." ”

This is also said in the past, no one will suspect that Jiang Yi is lying, he is Li Junze's guard henchman, his identity is there, questioning him is not to give Li Junze face.

Even though most of the people who come today are scholars, they also know how to understand current affairs.

Zhao Siyan glanced at Jiang Yi gratefully, today's matter, even if she has a way to justify herself, I am afraid she will not be able to calm the anger of Old Lady Zhao, although Old Lady Zhao may not believe it now, but on the bright side, she can't use this matter anymore Zhao Wenxi, otherwise it will be embarrassing for the prince.

There must be someone who the Zhao family can't afford to offend to explain this matter.

Li Junze naturally saw Zhao Siyan's eyes, and he was depressed in his heart, that was obviously the way he thought of to let Jiang Yi come out! It's him!

So Li Junze also glanced at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi had a happy expression on his face, the prince was praising him for doing a good job! He also thinks his performance is great!

"You are a person, why are you always lost, and the little young master has carried the black pot for you." Li Junze said lightly.

Even Li Junze opened his mouth, and this matter is finalized.

Zhao Wenkang was so angry that his expression changed, such a big thing, practicing martial arts, this is almost a big thing in the Zhao family, and it actually passed like this?

Li Junze glanced at Zhao Wenkang, but he didn't speak, Jiang Yi said again: "This is the seventh young master of the Zhao family, right?" Seeing that he was so excited to see this book, could he be interested? Do you want me to teach you? ”

Zhao Wenkang was startled, his face turned red, and the eldest master Zhao Tingxu hurriedly stood up: "Thank you for the kindness of the Jiang guards, the dog doesn't have the talent to practice martial arts, so I won't worry about the Jiang guards." ”

Jiang Yi continued to ask, "Do you really don't think about it anymore?" I was amazed by the bones of my son, he was really a genius in martial arts! If such a talent does not practice martial arts, wouldn't he miss it? I heard that you are not very envious that the second master can go into battle to kill the enemy, so that the son can cultivate it well, maybe he will also be a young hero in the future! ”

Zhao Tingxu's face turned pale, in fact, he didn't have any talent for reading, and he was even inferior to Zhao Tingshan at the beginning, so Old Lady Zhao used to pay more attention to Zhao Tingshan, or later Zhao Tingshan was not angry, and he was willing to fall into the field and learn martial arts, so he successfully ascended to the throne and became Old Lady Zhao's favorite son.

But Zhao Wenkang is different, Zhao Wenkang is young, but he is a seedling who reads, although he is always pressed by Zhao Wenxi, but it is much better than him as a father, so he has great expectations for Zhao Wenkang, and even hopes that he will try Tongsheng first next year, and strive to become the youngest child in Dengzhou.

Now Jiang Yi actually said that his son has the talent to practice martial arts! It's unbearable!

Zhao Tingxu's face was completely cold: "Don't worry about the Jiang guards." ”

Jiang Yi had a regretful expression: "That's a pity." ”

Jiang Yi glanced at Zhao Wenkang affectionately as he spoke, and Zhao Wenkang couldn't help but shrink in fright.

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes in his heart, just this little guts, still practicing martial arts? Do they believe that? No wonder they all say that the nine sons of the dragon are different, but this is too different, Miss Zhao San forced their prince to be bitter, and she could even help the prince solve so much trouble, but the rest of the Zhao family didn't look very smart.

Could it be that all the wisdom of the Zhao family was born in Miss Zhao San's head? But in an instant, Jiang Yi's thoughts had drifted away.

Zhao Tingxu didn't dare to mention Zhao Wenxi's matter anymore, so he looked forward to this matter and hurry over.

Zhao Tingshan and Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Li Junze with a grateful face, Li Junze was satisfied, and couldn't help but glance at someone, grateful that people want to find the right target, do you know!

Zhao Siyan didn't notice the prince's vague intentions, she frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jiang Yi suddenly looked at Ling Shu, pinched his chin, and said with a sigh: "Your name is Ling Shu, right?" As a minion, he is not loyal to his master, and he actually bites back, and he doesn't know what An's intentions are! I hate such a traitor the most, this is in the Zhao family, if you change the palace, you deserve to be killed with a board! ”

What he said made the expressions of the people of the Zhao family sneer, after all, if something like this happened to their own subordinates, it seemed that their Zhao family had no rules.

The eldest lady immediately said: "Come on, pull him down and lock him up first, today is the old lady's birthday, it is not appropriate to see blood, and then make a decision after today!" ”

After today, I'm afraid there will be no good end.

But before waiting for today, Mrs. Zhao spoke: "Rules are rules, you can't stop obeying it just because it's my birthday, this slave is actually treacherous and abandons the master, and my Zhao family can't tolerate such a slave!" Pull down and hit fifty boards, life and death are up to heaven! ”

I don't know if the old lady has to compare with the palace, and also said the number of fifty boards, but in fact, if the fifty boards are played, there will be no life.

Ling Shu trembled with fright, he looked at Zhao Wenxi, and kowtowed desperately and begged: "Fifth Young Master, Fifth Young Master spare your life, Fifth Young Master save the slave!" ”

Zhao Wenxi had a small face, but his eyes trembled, and finally turned his head silently and did not look at him again.

What else did Ling Shu say, but the eldest lady hurriedly said, "Come on, don't you cover your mouth and bring this dead slave down to me!" So as not to disturb the guests! ”

Why did Lingshu bite out Zhao Wenxi, the eldest lady knew, so she was worried that Lingshu would say something that shouldn't be said, so she couldn't wait to dispose of Lingshu.

Lingshu was quickly taken down, and he struggled desperately, but he was gagged, and he couldn't say a word, only a pair of frightened eyes, full of his unwillingness.

But no one cares about the life and death of a minion, especially a little guy who betrays his master.

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up and said two more words before the feast continued.

The eldest lady didn't care about the difference between men and women, so she was worried that Jiang Yi would arrest her son to practice martial arts, and pulled Zhao Wenkang to her side.

The next big house people were probably scared by the people in the second room, after all, they didn't take advantage of the road for a day today, and it was time to rest.

It's just that the eldest lady has stopped, and it doesn't mean that others have also stopped.

Chen Wanying was so angry that she had already quietly prepared this congratulatory gift, and she planned to make a big show at this birthday banquet, Zhao Siyin had asked her several times before what she wanted to give, but she had concealed the past very well, and she did not reveal it.

Everything went as she expected, and she was in the limelight at the birthday party, but why! Why did Zhao Siyan come out!

Zhao Siyan already has a lot, she has a capable and outstanding father, even if she is in the army, she is also appreciated by Li Junze, and even has a smart and clever younger brother, the future is limitless, according to her mother's words, that is Zhao Siyan's future dependence.

And what about her? There is nothing, everything can only rely on a little bit of his own planning, and finally there is this opportunity, Zhao Siyan still has to rob her!

Some people's logic is like this, even if they don't do anything, but if they get in the way, they feel that it is a mistake.

Chen Wanying felt angry, thinking that she was also the daughter of the official family, and her father was also a county magistrate, and she was also pampered to grow up at the beginning, but after her father died, the building collapsed, and she and her mother became orphan girls under the fence.

She dreams of raising her eyebrows, and Li Junze is the best opportunity she can grab, and she must not let it go!

Li Junze intends to give the Zhao family face, so his attitude is very good, even if what happened just now, the guests are happy.

Zhao Tingxu toasted Li Junze with a glass of wine, Li Junze didn't care, he picked up the wine glass and was about to bow his head to drink, but his hand was slightly stunned, and a touch of playfulness flashed in his eyes, but he lowered his head and drank it without changing his face.

Chen Wanying has been quietly paying attention to Li Junze's movements, no one cares about her small movements, who doesn't care? That's the prince of the world, the grandson of the former emperor.

Li Junze is really happy today, he has drunk a little too much, and his consciousness is a little unclear, but even when he is drunk, Li Junze still maintains a good royal demeanor, he is not rude, and he keeps smiling, but his mind is a little unclear, and his legs and feet are a little weak.

Old lady Zhao was a little happy when she saw this: "The prince has drunk too much today, for example, let's stay in the mansion for one night, this weather is not good for him to leave." ”

The weather is indeed a little bad, I don't know when, it was already snowing outside, it was snowing, and I drank too much, so naturally I couldn't let Li Junze leave like this.

After Jiang Yi pretended to excuse himself for two sentences, he agreed.

Seeing this situation, the guests looked at the Zhao family's eyes with a little envy, the identity of the prince, is it easy to stay overnight? If it weren't for someone who was very close, Li Junze wouldn't have stayed even if he was unconscious.

It seems that Li Junze is closer to Zhao Tingshan than he imagined.

The eldest lady is very happy, even if many of her plans have failed today because of Li Junze, she still has a natural awe of Li Junze, and the eldest lady diligently arranged the courtyard where Li Junze rested, and personally stared at the new bedding for people.

Li Junze took the lead in retiring and went back to the courtyard to rest.

As soon as Li Junze left, the banquet was about to disperse, and the guests left one after another.

The eldest lady was unable to do anything, so the Liu family had to help send off the guests, and after a busy time, she was also exhausted, and the birthday banquet finally ended successfully.

Mrs. Zhao was really happy today, her face was full of red light, Zhao Qingru looked at her mother, and did not leave immediately, but helped Mrs. Zhao back to Helan Garden, and while walking, she turned her head and glanced at Chen Wanying.

Seeing this, Chen Wanying fell half a step behind without a trace, did not follow, and took advantage of the crowd to turn around and leave quietly.

Zhao Siyin didn't realize that she was the eldest lady of the Zhao family, and she had already followed the eldest lady to learn to usher in the send-off, and she was helping the Liu family to send off guests at this time.

Today she is the biggest loser, and she did not emerge as expected, so she had to find another way to show her excellent behavior as a lady.

I have to say that this made her win back a few points of goodwill.

But Zhao Siyan noticed, she frowned faintly, she glanced at Yun Cui, and whispered two words, Yun Cui answered, turned around and left.

Zhao Siyan glanced outside, the wind and snow were gradually getting heavier, and the goose feather snow was falling, a quiet and beautiful, but she felt that what was hidden under this beauty was the surging undercurrent.

After sending off the guests, Liu took Zhao Siyan and Zhao Wenxi back to Tingyu Garden, Zhao Wenxi's little face was timid, and it was the first time he showed such an expression.

After entering the room and closing the door, Liu sat on the small collapse, his expression suddenly sank, and he slapped the table with a bang: "Wen Xi, you kneel down for me!" ”

Zhao Wenxi knelt down without saying a word, but his eyes were quietly red, he bit his lip, but his immature little face was full of stubbornness.

Seeing this, Zhao Siyan secretly sighed in his heart, took a step forward, and persuaded: "Mother, what are you doing?" Wen Xi is still a young ......"

"Still young? Yes, I am still young, so I am so ignorant that I actually went to learn martial arts! Liu shouted.

Most of the time, Liu is a loving mother, and she doesn't even speak out loud to a pair of children, and the first time she is so inward-looking, it can be seen that she is really angry.

"Mother, the Jiang guards all said that the book was the ...... he left behind"

Before Zhao Siyan finished speaking, Liu interrupted her, stared at her sharply and said, "That's just to fool the old lady, where are you going to fool me!" After a pause, she reacted and met Zhao Siyan's eyes: "You, you know it too, don't you?" You brothers and sisters are here to hide it from me! ”

Liu is really sad, her face is sad, she has always regarded a pair of children as the most important, but she didn't expect that a pair of children had already had their own little secrets, and they hid it from her, which made her very sad.

Yes, Zhao Siyan can't escape this time.
