It was the first time that Li Guanwen had the opportunity to carefully visit the inner mansion of Prince Zhongshun's mansion, and although he had been holding a shelf with a tense face all the way, his eyes were looking around flexibly.

Xu Weizhi led the way in front, and turned back enthusiastically from time to time to greet him.

It's just that Li Guanwen can see his nervousness and embarrassment from Xu Weizhi's expression.

Or when he doesn't know?

It's no wonder that the palace housekeeper is embarrassed, the prince is not a child of a few years old, such a big person, and he was punished by his mother to kneel, or because he was fighting outside. If this matter is left to him, he will be embarrassed.

The group entered the inner house and went straight to the upper courtyard, and Li Guanwen asked without a trace: "After Mrs. Xiao returned to the house, she lived in the upper courtyard?" ”

"Yes, after Mrs. Xiao returned home, the old lady said that Mrs. Xiao was the housewife of the Xiao family and should be respected, so she moved Songhetang out of the upper courtyard and moved it to the back courtyard."

"Oh?" Li Guanwen couldn't help but be surprised: "The old lady is so righteous, it's really admirable." ”

It stands to reason that Prince Zhongshun is not even Mrs. Xiao's concubine, and there were still those entanglements in the family back then, and the Holy Admiral sent Mrs. Xiao to Prince Zhongshun's mansion, and Prince Zhongshun only treated him with courtesy, and no one would say anything bad. Who would have thought that Prince Zhongshun would treat his mother so well.

Regardless of whether the reason for this kindness is out of respect for his mother-in-law or his loyalty to the saint, Li Guanwen is really admired for being able to do this.

"What about the old lady and the lady in the house?" Li Guanwen asked again.

Xu Weizhi said with a smile: "Now I also live in the Songhe Hall in the back yard. The old lady lives with the old lady and the lady. ”

Li Guanwen nodded and wrote it down.

When he arrived at the upper courtyard while talking, Li Guanwen happened to see a little girl running in, thinking that the little girl had just gone to the second gate and told the mother-in-law who was guarding the door, and the mother-in-law was looking for the little girl to pass the word, so it was a little late.

Li Guanwen walked two steps quickly, and saw the little girl running into the yard,

And in the middle of the courtyard, sure enough, kneeling the familiar tall figure.

Prince Zhongshun was really punished by his mother-in-law and knelt!

Rao is Li Guanwen has already heard some of them, and he can't help but be stunned at this time.

It's really because the image of the tyrannical majesty is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that Li Guanwen can't connect this embarrassed person who was punished by his mother-in-law for a while with the god of war prince in his memory who can make the enemy frightened with a glance.

Xiao Na Xu listened to the little girl's words, turned around suddenly, and saw Li Guanwen entering the courtyard under the leadership of Xu Weizhi.

Li Guanwen clearly saw the emotions of unwillingness and embarrassment on Xiao Xiao's face.

Xiao Xiao didn't care about continuing to kneel, so he stood up and looked at Xu Weizhi with a calm face: "Steward Xu, how did you do it?" Mr. Li is here, why didn't he spread the word earlier? Let this king snub the general manager so much, what kind of system is this? ”

Li Guanwen has served by the saint's side all the year round, and he is a little clear about the thoughts of this kind of superiors, even if Prince Zhongshun has been cut off from his military power now, his prestige in the army is still undiminished At the beginning, this is the master who is a little jealous of the saint, he is a chief of internal supervision, where can he be guilty?

It was to bow his head and serve respectfully on the side, without the swagger when he came.

Xu Weizhi lowered his head in fear, and saluted: "Back to the prince, the chief manager Li came by order, and the villain can't, please forgive the prince." ”

Xiao Xiao looked at Xu Weizhi with a calm face.

Before he could speak, the curtain of Fushou in front of the main house was lifted.

A plump woman, over fifty years old and gray-haired, went out with the help of her maid.

Mrs. Xiao's face was already wrinkled, especially the deep Sichuan character lines at the center of her eyebrows, which made her whole face look full of anger, even if she had no expression, it seemed to be in a rage. Her appearance when she was young is no longer distinguishable, but now she seems to be a short-tempered person with thin lips.

"Lord Wang. Don't be angry with others. Mrs. Xu frowned and said, "Manager Xu is also doing his best for the house, and Manager Li came by order, can Manager Xu still stop it?" ”

This rebuke......

The truth is true, but is it really good to say it?

Li Guanwen is an outsider, and the corners of his lips twitch when he listens.

Xiao Xiao saluted respectfully, and his attitude was not close, but he said very respectfully: "Thank you Madame for teaching." ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Xiao answered in a long voice, slowly walked down the steps, and when she arrived in front of Li Guanwen, her attitude had completely changed.

There was a smile on his face full of anger, and his voice was not as serious as when he talked to Xiao Xiao, but said with a smile: "It's really rude." The old body has only arrived in the mansion for a short time, and it is too late to rectify it, and this mansion is not a look, which really makes the father-in-law laugh. ”

"Where is it, the old lady's health is important, and the saint is also concerned about your health."

Mrs. Xiao's eyes narrowed with a smile, "The old body is rude, and I have to worry about the saint." It's scary. Please rest assured, the old man will definitely admonish the prince for a long time, and there will be no such absurd things in the future. ”

"Oh, don't say that." Li Guanwen was already wailing in his heart, how capable is this lady, how many years has her husband been dead, and she still talks like this to a high-ranking prince like Xiao Xiao, who has neither accepted him as a concubine nor has the grace of nurturing.

"The prince is the holy humerus, and this time our family came to visit the prince's injury. If Mrs. Xiao doesn't mind, our family will call the imperial doctor to come over and take a look at the prince. ”

"Then thank God for your kindness."

Li Guanwen went to call Dr. Matthew.

The wound on Xiao Xiao's arm had been bandaged, but there was still blood on the snow-white gauze, which looked shocking, and there was a bruise on the corner of his mouth. Even if Li Guanwen didn't see the scene of the two fighting with his own eyes, he could imagine that the two of them must have been heavy at that time.

After Dr. Matthew re-bandaged the medicine for the squire, Li Guanwen saluted and asked respectfully: "Lord Wang, the Holy One means to instruct the slave maid to ask you what was going on at that time." ”

Xiao Xiaojian raised his eyebrows, and snorted angrily: "That bastard, just owe a beating!" Whoever seizes the opportunity of this king must avenge this sword! ”

In the end, it was the person who rushed to kill on the battlefield, and under the churning of anger, he couldn't help but shrink his neck when he was bluffing.

Mrs. Xiao was not afraid of the slightest, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang! You are a courtier, but the horse is a relative of the emperor, how can you talk like this! You don't remember the family motto of the family? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao's brows tightened, and he could see that he was on the verge of rage, but he still didn't refute.

Mrs. Xiao said: "In the end, you don't have the fate to raise in the house, but you learned some scoundrels in the market, how did your mother teach you?" If you grow up in the house, you won't be so unruly and distant. If your father is still alive, and sees that you are not growing like this, he will not break your legs! ”

When Li Guanwen heard this, he almost knelt for Mrs. Xiao.

Among the people in the world who are not related to him, I am afraid that only Mrs. Xiao dares to talk to him like this.

Xiao Xiao, who had endured it all day, finally couldn't control his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Xiao, this king respects you, and that is also for the sake of my father, who has never met, don't you want to gain an inch!" ”

Mrs. Xiao was stunned.

Since she came to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, she has never seen Xiao Xiao blushing with herself!

It is precisely because of Xiao Xiao's polite treatment and retreat everywhere that Mrs. Xiao has the confidence to discipline him

I didn't expect that a person who usually looks docile and harmless would be so terrifying when he released a murderous aura that can only be found on the battlefield.

Xiao Xiao said: "If it wasn't for Mrs. Xiao's jealousy, how could I not be raised in the mansion?" You know better than anyone what happened back then, this king respects you, but please also stop in moderation, my mother was driven away by you, and was assassinated by you, it was her life that escaped by luck. Since then, she has nothing to do with your General's Mansion!

"I have never been recognized by you, my title was also won by my own fighting, I did not borrow a little light from your family, I am courteous to you now, that is my cultivation, if you want to continue to pinch my mother, looking at her or the servant girl who persecuted you before the menstruation, then you are wrong idea!

"I don't have any other skills, it's just that, as you say, I'm a scoundrel! Then I'll kill you, and see who can do what to me!" ”

"You, you ......" Mrs. Xiao's face turned pale, and she didn't know whether she was angry or frightened. You are hopeless, reckless! ”

Xiao Xiao smiled coldly, turned around and asked Li Guanwen: "Has the chief manager seen today's events?" ”

Li Guan lowered his head and said: "Yes, the slave has been watching carefully, Lord Wang, what do you command?" ”

Xiao Xiao said: "It's good that you can see Mrs. Xiao's unreasonable trouble." Later, I went to the palace to ask for the saint, and asked the chief steward to testify on behalf of the king. ”

"Testify?" Li Guanwen said inexplicably: "Lord Wang, do you want to?" ”

Xiao Xiao said: "The saint helped my family find Mrs. Xiao, and the king is very grateful, but the king's palace temple is small but it can't accommodate two families." Mrs. Xiao harassed my grandfather and grandmother at every turn, and my mother was still instructed by her. Seeing this, this king didn't know why he wanted to oppose the tyranny of the Northern Ji Kingdom in the first place. The Northern Ji Kingdom did not object at that time, didn't they live like this. ”

A woman who causes trouble is enough to make the whole family mess. Xiao Xiao didn't want to keep Mrs. Xiao, but it was arranged by the saint at the beginning, so he could only obey the order, and now that so much time has passed, he might as well take advantage of today's bad mood to borrow the lead and pull this nail out of the palace.

Li Guanwen sighed in his heart when he heard this.

Even Mrs. Xiao's face changed greatly, and she said anxiously: "What right do you have to send me away?" If it weren't for your father, would you be in this world? I am the wife that your father is marrying, and you have to do your filial piety even in front of your father! ”

"That's what Mrs. Xiao thinks?" Xiao Xiao sneered, "Filial piety and filial piety, obedience is filial piety, but this king is a hard bone, the least will be soft, Mrs. Xiao continues to live in the palace, it is very likely that she will be angry, how can this king be responsible?" It is better to ask for the grace of God now, and set up another house for you to live in. ”
