Chapter 122: Stepping Stones

Visiting with gifts, but being blocked from the door, no matter how you look at it, it is a shameful thing.

But for Li Huyue now, the word "shame" is no longer a big deal.

Li Lanqi, who has always been regarded as a "thorn in the eye" by him, has won the blue eyes of the third princess because of his painting snake, and now, he has been accepted by Ling Jun, and their father, Deping Bo Li Ming, also generously gave him a pardon and allowed him to return to live in the house.

And just yesterday, he was blocked outside Deshui Xuan, Li Lanqi, but because of Lingjun's hunting and assassins, the aftermath was meritorious, and he got a special gift from the third princess.

He and Li Lanqi are both on the list of bribes, and according to the habit of Depingbo and Li Ming, the children of the clan like them who will cause hidden dangers to Depingbo will be "brought to justice", unless they can prove that they have greater value than hidden dangers.

In other words, if he wants to live, he must prove to his father as soon as possible that he has the "necessity" to continue living, otherwise, within three days, he will be sent to Zhuangzi outside the city to wait for death just like Li Lanqi in the past.

But not everyone can be as lucky as Li Lanqi and be dragged out of the mud by his stupid opponent!

Thinking of this, Li Huyue made the hand that had just removed the splint and slapped him in the face twice.

Although the prospective princess's method of treating the wound of a broken bone looks a little ridiculous, I have to admit that it works very well, no, it should be said that he has never encountered it, and it is better than her.

Li Huyue thought about it as he moved for a moment, and his fingers, which had even faded from the hard calluses of the past, leaned back into the circle chair.

The change in the attitude of the prospective princess is inevitably a little too big.

Although, when she was in Jiangnan, she didn't show that she liked him very much, but judging from the fact that she told herself, after returning to Yanjing, help her pay attention to whether there are people with "long tongues" who want to cook delicious dishes with their tongues.

Could it be that Li Lanqi said something bad about him, leading this prospective princess to have something to do with him?

This kind of possibility is very large.

It seems that it is time for him to come out with a "sincere" gift to obtain the "understanding" of this princess-to-be, and take the opportunity to find out the reason for her change in attitude!

Thinking of this, Li Huyue took a deep breath, stood up, took a book that had been hollowed out in the middle from the shelf next to him, and "picked out" the one, which he planned to use as "sincerity" and give Liu Qingxin as a "thank you gift" The title deed of the medicine shop.

However, before Li Huyue could put the title deed into the newly folded envelope, his newly promoted cronie, Li San, stumbled into the study.

"Oh no, young master, it's a big deal!"

changed his usual steadiness, and Li San, who rushed into the door, even turned pale with a pale face.

He "pounced" and fell down in front of Li Huyue's bookcase, shaking like chaff.

"The slave knows, knows why, why Her Royal Highness the Princess, will, will have a sudden change of attitude!"

Early this morning, he was sent by Li Huyue to "visit" Miss Li Jiayan, who lived next door to the Three Princes' Mansion all the year round, and Li Jiangxue, the younger sister of Li Huyue's mother, and conveyed to him Li Huyue's attitude of "suggesting" her to give up the house.

Who would have thought that when he first entered the mansion, before he could convey Li Huyue's words, he witnessed it with his own eyes, which made him unbelievable and his back was cold!

The people of Yanjing, everyone knows, this Miss Yan from the Li family is a "crazy woman" who has been coveting the position of the third prince's concubine since many years ago, regardless of her father, Depingbo Li Ming, is the mainstay of the eldest prince's faction.

However, what everyone from the Yanjing family can't understand is that for Li Jiangxue, the "crazy woman", Depingbo Li Ming, did not use the means that most famous families would use to shut up or shut up forever, but just kicked him out of the house, cut off the moon silver, and did not even make a statement about dissociating from him.

Since then, he moved to the house next door to the Three Princes' Mansion and began his "plan to climb over the wall and climb the bed" day and night against Ling Jun.

It is said that it was her mother, Sun, who bought this house for her, using the silver to add makeup to her, totaling 130,000 taels.

Some people say that Li Ming did not "eliminate all evil" of Li Jiangxue because he doted on her daughter differently from other children, but Li Huyue knew that this was not the case.

Depingbo Li Ming, his father, is a person who likes to leave a way back for himself.

Although even he didn't think that Ling Jun would have any chance of winning in the competition with the eldest prince, out of instinct, he still "indulged" Li Jiangxue, the daughter who already coveted Ling Jun, in the hope that in the future, when Ling Jun won by luck, Deping Bofu could still rely on her daughter to have a little room for maneuver with the Three Princes' Mansion.

After all, there has always been a lot of tolerance for the Wuhou family and the Zhu family dynasty, which established the world with martial arts.

The emperor of flowing water, the martial artist of iron.

Since Emperor Jianwen was "on the side of the Qing monarch", there have been few emperors who have thought about supporting Wenchen and suppressing Wuxun.

Face, everyone needs it, let alone the emperor and the prince?

At that time, even if Ling Jun looked down on Li Jiangxue, a "crazy woman", she could always take advantage of her "infatuation" and establish an "intimate relationship" with Depingbo Mansion as a side concubine or even a concubine, so as to stabilize her newly acquired power.

This kind of thing has never been less common in all dynasties.

And the young ladies from famous families are also very clear about their own position, knowing that they are destined from birth, from the time they are born as women, they can only be their fathers and brothers' tools for power and profit, and there is no one exception.

But that doesn't stop them from fantasizing, or rather, from fighting.

After all, there are so many young masters from famous families who can get on the stage, and the royal family is sparse......

"What's the name of the ghost?"

"Speak slowly!"

Seeing that in recent days, Li San, who was reused by him because of his steady and orderly work, only went to Li Jiangxue's residence once, and showed such a flustered look, Li Huyue suddenly felt that his heart "chuckled".

However, his education since childhood taught him that at this time, he must not mess with himself, otherwise he will make the already poor situation even worse and unable to turn around.

"Miss, I'm afraid I'm mad!"

"She made people, she made people in the courtyard, tied a straw man who was the same height as a person, and put on a woman's clothes for the straw man, and pasted a yellow paper with the name of the prospective princess on the door of her head, and whipped and abused every day, every day!"

The synopsis of the matter is not long, but after saying these things, it seems that Li San's whole strength has been exhausted.

He was prostrate on the ground, even his hands and feet seemed to be called by him, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't straighten his waist again.

This action made him, who was wearing a long grass-green jacket, like a pole, and when he was dying, he was still trying to move the caterpillar to survive.

Damn woman!

She's this, she's leading him to his death!

This was Li Huyue's first reaction.

But after a long time in officialdom and accustomed to seeing the honor and disgrace of life and death, he did not wail when he heard the "bad news" like Li San.

Straw man.

Name.

Whipping and insults.

If it is spread to Emperor Longqing, no, it doesn't need to be spread so far, just let their father, Deping Bo Li Ming hear that his branch, including their mother, will have to follow the fun!

"Calm down, Li Huyue."

"You have to be calm, you have to be calm."

"The worse the situation, the more we need to hold on to Qingming, not to cross the thunder pool, and not to fight impulsively."

"In this world, there is never a certain death."

Li Huyue silently muttered a few words, and then felt that his tight shoulders had regained a little softness, and even the eyebrows that were instinctively tightened were slightly loosened.

This matter seems extremely dangerous, but it is not without room for maneuver.

It's just that the price he needs to pay for this "room for maneuver" is a little "painful", no, it should be said that it is like a bony pain.

But Rao is like this, he still has to pay, and he can't bargain for half a copper!

"You rest for a while, and then go and put the car on it."

"I'm going to ask my mother if the title deed of the house is in her hands."

Li Huyue took a deep breath, moved, and walked out of the door, "What I saw and heard today, don't tell anyone to know, unless, my father heard the rumors and asked you about it in person." ”

"Yes, yes, young master."

Seeing that Li Huyue had already taken countermeasures, Li San was also frightened.

He struggled twice more before he reluctantly straightened up and answered him.

After serving by Li Huyue's side for several years, before that, Li San, who was worthy of his attention and raised his identity, did not want him to lose in this battle.

Although, even if Li Huyue was "defeated and died", he did not have to worry about his life.

But the young master in this house, even if he is a concubine, there is no shortage of relatives around him, thinking that he is a dead original owner, and then serves on the side of others, how can there be any possibility of being reused?

He is looking forward to the future of the steward of the Pingbo Mansion, if the master he serves cannot take charge of the family or does not value him enough, then the beauty and the poor will have his share!

Winter in Yanjing is always very cold, especially two or three days after the snowfall.

Li Huyue, who had just come out of the study, shivered from the cold, hurriedly tightened the cloak on his body, walked quickly, and went to the courtyard next door, where his biological mother lived.

When he was a child, his uncle spent a lot of money and hired a gentleman for him, and told him that no one is born to be a stepping stone for others, but if you are not diligent and trample others under your feet, one day you will be treated like this by others.

He has always kept these words in his heart, and he never dares to forget them.
