CHAPTER XV

"If it were an ordinary mountain bandit, he would never abandon his jewelry and take his life." That day, my father abandoned the belongings behind him and led the two of them to escape, but the mountain bandits chased after them and did not look at the belongings behind them, "Uncle, I want to know who is trying to harm us." ”

There is also the mother-in-law who cooked that day, now that I think about it, it is too obvious.

Because she was staring, the woman didn't drug the three of them's meal. And that time, only the three of them did not faint.

Li Jiabo looked at Mingshu with a gloomy gaze, "Mingshu, I don't tell you this, it's for your own good." He looked away and said in a softer tone, "Sometimes, knowing too much is dangerous. ”

A chill rose up Mingshu's spine.

My uncle loved his mother so much, how could he not investigate the matter. But she doesn't know anything, is it because of this?

Li Jiabo looked at the pensive little girl in front of him with complicated eyes.

"Uncle, I'm the only one who escaped, and I can't get out of this matter. Even if I can't avenge my parents, at least I know who is going to harm us, so I can be on guard. ”

I didn't know anything in my previous life, I didn't know anything and didn't have to live well, what was there to be afraid of.

Li Jiabai showed a hint of a smile on his face, rubbed Mingshu's forehead and said, "It was so panicked and terrible at the time, it's good that you can notice that this matter is not simple." ”

If Ah Lan had this kind of heart, he and his mother would not have worried about her for so many years.

Mingshu frowned, her uncle really only thought she was a little girl who didn't know anything about the world. But with her appearance, there is no way to ask her uncle to treat her as an adult.

Mingshu simply told her uncle about the mother-in-law. Mother seems to be very familiar with the mother-in-law, but mother and father are always outside, and Mingshu doesn't know much about the people around her mother.

"If the medicine was given by that mother-in-law, although it was an inner house method, it was enough to see that someone had reached out to the Gu family......

The Gu family has a foundation of nearly a hundred years, and if this is the case, the people behind it are really terrifying.

At least it shows that the Gu family is also difficult to contend with, let alone the Li family.

Mingshu remembered the indifference of the Li family in her previous life, and a trace of fear rose in her heart.

Li Jiabo nodded, his face solemn, and asked, "Do you remember what she looks like, or what is her identity?" ”

Previously, she was raised by her grandmother's side, she had no worries about food and clothing, she was decent and comfortable, and she naturally had no impression of the people around her.

Mingshu shook her head and said, "I drew the appearance of that mother-in-law later and sent it to my uncle, but I only remember that my husband's surname is Xu." ”

Li Jiabai nodded, and her husband's surname Xu could find out a lot of things. With drawings, it couldn't be easier. I'm afraid that the woman has long been hiding and can't find it.

Or maybe they were wiped out in the chaos.

Mingshu said again: "What did my uncle find out, can you tell me the truth?" ”

Li Jiabai frowned, he was a little unaccustomed to a small person, talking to him in such an equal and old-fashioned tone.

"What do you have to know about? The government has investigated it, and it will naturally be made public. ”

"If you wait for the government to investigate, then why should my uncle be so worried!"

Mingshu was angry this time, but her uncle still fooled her at will.

"Mingshu, uncle will take care of you." After a pause, "You don't need to know these dirty and horrible things. ”

His little niece, like Ah Lan, is a delicate and white clean little girl. As an elder brother, he couldn't protect Ah Lan well, so he decided to protect Ah Lan's daughter.

If a timid little girl in the boudoir is needed to investigate a bloody case, then what else does he, the man who is an uncle, do?

Ah Lan's daughter should be the same as Ah Lan, he used the treasure Luo Qijiao to raise in the inner house, and he has his own ups and downs outside.

Mingshu felt that her eyes were hot and sour, and she spoke in a thick nasal voice, "Uncle, but life is meant to be lived by yourself, and you can't protect me for the rest of my life." ”

Li Jiabai's hand on the back of the chair tightened, and the Gu family was indeed no better than the Li family.

The little girl is still soft and glutinous, but her eyes are clear and clear.

"Uncle?"

"I'll tell you when the investigation comes out. The robbers are still being tracked down...... Almost all over the Huzhou area, there is no shadow, this wave of people is definitely related to the imperial court. ”

Although the Li family has been famous for generations, it is different from the Gu family. Dare to attack the Gu family, that is, he is not afraid of the Gu family.

Mingshu thought about this layer clearly, and she was worried about Li Jiabai.

"I may not be able to find out......," Li Jiabo sighed, "When you return to the Gu family, remember to keep a low profile and forbearance, and listen to your grandmother." ”

He patted Mingshu on the shoulder and got up, obviously unwilling to say any more.

Mingshu bowed and retreated.

After all, her uncle was willing to tell her about the investigation, and Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief, but she also felt that she had to cultivate a few henchmen.

At least, you don't have to ask for everything.

But that's a matter of retrospectiveness.

Mingshu bumped into Zhao head-on.

Zhao was dressed very casually, with a dark green embroidered jasmine skirt under the long blue gown, and a glass jade on his arm jumped off. The footsteps were hurried, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and his sideburns looked a little wet.

As soon as he saw Mingshu, he smiled before speaking, took Mingshu's hand and said with a smile: "I was about to go to see your grandmother, so let Ling go with me." ”

It doesn't matter if you go or not, it's just that the Zhao family is so tightly dragged that it's hard to say that you can't go. He smiled and said, "Okay." What kind of balm did my aunt wear today, it smells so good. ”

Zhao smiled coolly, took Mingshu's hand and walked and said: "It's jasmine balm, and the lead powder used to apply the face is also purple jasmine seeds." ”

Mingshu pouted and muttered: "My bergamot has no fragrance at all." "It's still my aunt's fragrance that is stronger and smells good.

Zhao felt that Mingshu's little temper was funny, and still pulled Mingshu forward.

Before the two of them entered the door, they felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Mingshu and Zhao both knew that the old lady's temper was fickle, and after looking at each other, Zhao picked the curtain and went in.

After a few days of not seeing, the old lady's face was better. did not lie on the kang, but sat cross-legged on the couch on the side, closed his eyes, leaning on the screen with his body leaning slightly.

The maids and ladies in the room all lowered their eyebrows, and they didn't dare to stand next to them.

Mingshu and Zhao saluted, and Zhao smiled and greeted him.

The old lady opened her eyes, put aside her eyes and said coldly: "It's hard for you to remember me as an old woman." ”

When his eyes touched Mingshu, he paused slightly.

Mingshu felt a chill down her spine, and only felt that her grandmother was about to lose her temper again. Zhao insisted on pulling her here, and he didn't know who was bearing the old lady's anger for whom.

She simply looked at her nose and nose.

Sure enough, the old lady looked at Mingshu and said, "Didn't you lose your temper with me, why, you didn't get angry with me last time, so you have to be angry with me today?" ”
