Just when Du Ziqian and Wei were muttering and planning in the room, Du Ziwu and Li were also looking at each other at the dinner table, and there was unconcealed surprise in their eyes.

The girl who passed the word bowed and retreated, and Li glanced at Yi'er, who was sitting quietly at the bottom, and the suspicion in her eyes was even worse.

After dinner, the maids removed the table and cleaned up, Yi'er was about to get up, when she heard Li's say: "Kite, you stay for a while, my mother still has a few words to ask you." ”

Yi'er saw Li's expression and knew that Li must have noticed something, so he responded respectfully.

The Li family sent the maids out, and even Du Yu let Mama Xu take them out, Du Ziwu only said that the two of them had something to whisper about, and they had to go out with them, but they were stopped by the Li family: "Don't go, the concubine still needs the master to get an idea." ”

Du Ziwu saw that Li's expression was solemn and curious, so he sat down on the Taishi chair on the main seat.

Seeing that Yi'er had been calm, not impatient or impatient, Li Shi was relieved in her heart, she took a sip of tea, and said directly: "Iris, you tell your mother honestly, who is He Rui and He Gongzi who met in Sifangkou that day?" ”

Yi'er knew that the Li family must have seen Jiang You in Qiao's mansion, and she didn't have the intention to hide it, and she had just known Jiang You's identity, so she said generously: "My daughter didn't know it before, but after falling into the water this time, my daughter knew that he was Jiang You, the son of Ningguo. ”

The Li family already knew, so he was not surprised, but Du Ziwu was taken aback, and suddenly stood up from the Taishi's chair and said, "What? Is he the prince of Ningguo? ”

Li Shi glanced at Du Ziwu and said, "After you fell into the water, but he saved you?" ”

The eldest princess of Yunping is Jiang You's maternal grandmother, Yi'er fell into the water, how could she be saved by the eldest princess so coincidentally? Coupled with this invitation from the Ningguo Mansion, where did the Li family still not understand the reason?

In fact, Yi'er didn't intend to hide it from the Li family, so she nodded frankly at this time.

Li said: "He can think of handing you over to the eldest princess of Yunping first, and then the eldest princess will come forward to send you back to the house, and it is considered considered thoughtful." The world says that this prince of Ningguo is cold-hearted and cold-hearted, he can do so much for you, but he has that mind for you? ”

Yi'er said: "My daughter doesn't know, but he saw his daughter fall into the water in Qiaofu Nanhu Lake, jumped down to save him, and was swept into the dark river with his daughter and rushed out of the city. The daughter feels that he can ignore his own safety in order to save people, and the so-called cold heart and cold lungs of the world are afraid that there are many misunderstandings. ”

Seeing Yi'er standing there timidly, as if he had done something wrong and was being reprimanded by his elders, Li couldn't bear it, pulled the person over and hugged him into his arms, and said, "Mother's stupid girl, can't you see that he can desperately jump down to save people, just because the person who fell into the water is you?" ”

Yi'er hung her head and was silent.

Du Ziwu frowned and said, "But you are lonely men and widows, and you have been entangled in the water for so long, this is ...... spread."

Li Shi shouted: "Master, the prince of Ningguo is saving people, the so-called urgent matter is in power, besides, after that, people can be for the name of the kite, even Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Yunping is alarmed, what else does the lord want him to do?" Besides, the kite fell into the water, and she couldn't save herself, how could she control these things? ”

Du Ziwu sighed: "I also know that I can't blame him for this, and I can't blame it on the head of the kite, but my daughter's body is innocent......"

"Sir! The prince invited the eldest princess of Yunping to come forward, isn't it just to protect the innocent reputation of the kite? ”

"This is just the eyes of the world, blocking the mouths of the people, doesn't the world know that this thing has never happened?"

Li Shi became angry and said loudly: "This has never happened in the first place. ”

Du Ziwu was stunned for a moment, and saw that the Li family was really angry, so he softened his tone and said, "That's it, according to Mrs. Niang's meaning, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Li Shi looked at Yi'er and said, "Iris, tell your mother honestly, are you interested in this prince of Ningguo?" ”

Yi'er is no matter how cool she is, when she was asked about this directly, her face was always a little uncomfortable, she blushed slightly, and called out coquettishly: "Mother." He bowed his head and shut down.

Seeing her shy, how could the Li family not be able to guess her thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said, "Kite, do you know what kind of family the Ningguo Mansion is?" Not to mention the nobility of the court, but also the power in his hands, not to mention the big official eunuchs next to him, among the emperor's relatives and relatives, they are also second to none. ”

Seeing that Yi'er was silent, Li Shi continued, "Everyone in the world says that a high-ranking family marries a daughter-in-law, and a low-door marriage, but it is generally the right one!" It's not that my mother wants to object, it's that people like us really can't climb a family like Ningguo Mansion. ”

Yi'er thought for a while and said, "Mother, when he saved his daughter's life, his daughter was grateful to him, but at that time, his daughter didn't know his identity and origin. The daughter thought that if he was really interested in his daughter, he naturally cared about his daughter's identity. Since neither of them is aware of their identities, my daughter ......"

Li said: "Mother knows, he saved you, and you are grateful to him in your heart, but stupid daughter, do you know that gratitude is not feelings." Besides, have you ever thought that as the son of Ningguo, he was born with a talent, and what kind of famous and noble girl he wanted to marry, but why he was nearly eighteen years old and still hadn't even finalized his marriage? It's not that my mother thinks too much, for you, my mother always has to have a heart, you don't know, there have been rumors in the market that this prince of Ningguo has quirks, that ...... It's not a good match anyway. ”

"Quirks?" Yi'er was stunned, a little strange.

Seeing Yi'er's appearance, Li obviously didn't believe it, so he couldn't help but simply blurt out: "People say that all the people he is waiting for are small servants, and there is not even a rough maid in the yard, because of him, because he is actually good at men, and he has a habit of dragon yang, so at such an old age, he doesn't even mention family affairs." ”

Yi'er was a little stunned, it took a long time to understand the meaning of Li's words, and she immediately couldn't cry or laugh, thinking in her heart, this person can really toss, and it is glorious enough to have a reputation of being cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and now he has been deducted from a good man's hat, anyway, these are all made up by this guy himself, let him solve it himself in the future, why should she quarrel with his mother in order to help him speak and whitewash him?

Then he said: "Mother, do you take hearsay seriously?" Besides, the daughter's affairs are naturally decided by the father and the mother, and the daughter listens to the mother. ”

Li Shi saw that Yi'er was relieved, but Yi'er listened to her words, so he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "If Iris'er can think like this, my mother will be relieved." ”

Du Ziwu also said: "What your mother said is also right, think about the first time you met, he actually gave you the jade pendant, so frivolous, I don't think I'm a stable person." That day in the Quartet, he looked arrogant, unruly, his father looked at him, and he was not a kid who would hurt people, and it was a good thing that you had no idea about it, but he had to return the favor of saving you, I think so, eighteen is not his birthday banquet, we prepare a generous gift to send to express gratitude. ”

Li Shi also said: "The master is right, I see that the concubine has started to prepare for this matter, the Ningguo Mansion is extremely rich, I am afraid that ordinary gifts will not be able to enter the eyes of others at all." ”

Du Ziwu said: "I think the lady of this gift may wish to hand it over to the kite, after all, this is her life-saving grace, and she is more or less a heart, at least it can show that we are sincerely grateful." ”

Li thought about it, and agreed, Yi'er took the errand, and accompanied her parents to talk, so she quit the two and retired from the Ripple Courtyard.

But who knew that as soon as her front foot came out of the gate of the Ripple Courtyard, Du Ziwu rushed up from behind, and did not beat around the bush, and directly let the green Fu who followed Yi'er to avoid it, he said: "The matter of preparing a gift for the Ningguo Mansion, I have thought about it for my father, it is too gorgeous and precious, but it is not appropriate, you bother to find a chic and exquisite one." As a father, I heard that the prince of Ning Guo is good at fists and feet, and he should like weapons such as knives, guns, swords, and sticks. ”

Yi'er responded, but she was strange in her heart, this Du Ziwu chased her out, was it just to tell her this?

Sure enough, Du Ziwu said again: "Kite, just now your mother is here, it's not easy for your father to ask you, for your father to look at your look, I'm afraid it's not a simple gratitude to this prince of Ningguo, right?" ”

Yi'er was stunned, and then she understood Du Ziwu's intentions, and when she began to mention gifts, she was talking about a gift to the Ningguo Mansion, but Du Ziwu's words just now made it clear that they were for Jiang You. Originally, it was given out as a gift for Jiang You's birthday banquet, and it makes sense to say that it was a gift for Jiang You, but if it was only given to Jiang You, then it would be a little inappropriate for Yi'er to take care of the operation as a woman in the boudoir.

But Du Ziwu moved this matter from Li's body to Yi'er, that is, there is only one explanation, Du Ziwu hopes that Yi'er and Jiang You will continue to date.

Yi'er became more and more puzzled, she knew that Jiang You's identity was precious, and she knew the influence of the Ningguo Mansion on the entire court, but she didn't believe that Du Ziwu would let her deliberately approach Jiang You for these reasons, in order to cling to the powerful.
