As soon as Li's words came out, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little strange.

Li raised his head and found that the servants around him were looking at each other, and their surprises were overflowing.

In the past ten years, the Li family has been unprincipled and protective of Miss Nine at any time and in everything, and has never scolded her, and there are few people in the family who do not praise this aunt for being gentle and generous, and pampering her niece.

Bai Lao Taijun and Zhu Luan's faces were a little surprised, this may be the first time in Li's life that he reprimanded Miss Zhu Jiu in public.

"Auntie said this," Zhu Luan said with a smile, "How dare I lie about such a thing." ”

"Don't think that the princess is high and powerful, and the British government doesn't dare to ask the princess to verify, so you use the princess as an excuse." British Gong Zhu Kuan stroked his short beard and said with a majestic face.

Miss Zhu Jiu's uncle in the past was so frightened that she couldn't speak as soon as she spoke.

"How so." She said with a smile.

Thinking of his daughter who is still lying unconscious on the bed, and then looking at the smiling girl in front of him, the sour anger in Li's heart can't be restrained and only rises up.

She gently stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, and the person who had just questioned her niece seemed to be not her, and continued to say softly, "Nine girls, you know, I have always been very protective of you, alas, but this time, you have really gone too far." ”

Lee's words were full of hatred for iron and steel.

"Seven girls, even if it's not my daughter, but she's your cousin after all, I don't ask you to treat her like she did to you, but how can you watch your cousin being kidnapped and be indifferent?" Li Shi wiped a handful of tears with a handkerchief, "How do you let outsiders look at our girls and the British government!?" ”

"Besides, no matter how much you want to marry Duan Ergongzi, how can you stop the princess's guard of honor, you ......" Li pointed at Zhu Luan with a trembling finger, "You are trying to force the British Mansion to death!" ”

Old Lady Bai's pupils shrank.

The old lady suddenly became furious, and the thin old hand grabbed Zhu Luan behind him and threw him to the ground, shouting, "Evil obstacles! What the hell did you say to the princess? ”

Zhu Luan staggered a few steps to the ground with the strength of the old lady Bai, and her long skirt covered her legs, looking like she had been thrown to the ground.

"Grandmother, don't be angry," Li stepped forward and stroked Old Lady Bai's back, "Nine girls, she is ignorant and doesn't know what is at stake, wait for us to ask," she persuaded softly.

"What do I have to be angry about," Old Lady Bai's dragon head crutch stomped on the ground, "So many difficulties have passed, I didn't get angry ten years ago, and now what's there." ”

Ten years ago, the bloodline of the British government withered, and Zhu Hao, the third generation of the British duke's eldest grandson, died, and Zhu Zhai, the father of Miss Zhu Jiu, who was the eldest grandson, succeeded to the British dukedom. However, less than a year after inheriting the title, Zhu Zhai also died unexpectedly. It was the turn of Zhu Kuan, the second grandson of the concubine, to inherit the title of Duke of England.

Bai Lao Taijun has only one son in this life, that is, Zhu Jian, the only son-in-law of the old British Duke Zhu Hong, in addition to this sister-in-law, the old British Duke also has a concubine, but the eldest son Zhu Jian and daughter-in-law both died young, leaving only one eldest grandson Zhu Hao, I didn't expect Zhu Hao to inherit the title at the age of fifteen, and died unexpectedly at the age of twenty.

The huge British Mansion did not have a descendant bloodline who could inherit the knighthood for a while.

There are rumors outside that it was the old British prince who killed too much when he fought the world with Taizu, so that the British government withered, and the children could not be kept one by one, and no one even inherited the title.

Fortunately, although the concubine who was ignored by Zhu Hong at the beginning has also passed away, he left two sons, namely Zhu Zhai and Zhu Kuan.

With a thick old face, the old lady rushed to the Shendu and asked the royal family to recognize and let the concubine inherit the title.

Although the royal family did not take away the Danshu iron coupons of the British government because of Zhu Hong's merits back then, after all, it is very rare for a family surnamed A to have only a grandson inherit the family business, and now the inheritance of the title of the British government can be in the royal family's thoughts.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Bai's weather-beaten face couldn't help but show a trace of sadness.

"I didn't say anything," Zhu Luan squatted on the ground, his little face was slightly lowered, and he couldn't help but look weak, "I just talked about the customs of Huizhou, the princess is extremely gentle, and the rumors between her and Duan Ergongzi are nothing at all", her words were innocent.

The brows of the three adults present furrowed.

After provoking the Duan family, he also provoked the princess.

Old Taijun Bai's hand tightly grasped the dragon's head crutch, and his expression was complicated.

She has lived for more than eighty years, she has lived enough, half of her body has been buried in the ground, and now the only thing she can't rest assured about is the title that her husband fought so hard to fight back then, if she can't keep it, where will she get the face to see him in the future?

For the sake of the stability of the entire British government, all unfavorable factors should be eliminated, not to mention that his great-grandson has been jumping up and down to cause trouble.

Without the title, all the people here are nothing.

"Someone," Mrs. Bai instructed, "Lock Miss Nine in the west courtyard of Shou'an Hall, send ten family members and ten guards to guard the courtyard, and if you lose anyone again, let these guards come to see you!" ”

……

……

Shou An Tang West Courtyard.

Zhu Luan looked out from the crack in the nailed window, compared to the last time of the grounding, this time the security is more and more strict, there are teams patrolling back and forth outside day and night, and the servants who deliver the food have changed to fully armed guards, she understands that Bai Lao Taijun is serious this time.

"What the hell is this place, how can you do this to Miss." The little girl Yuying was grounded again with her master, and her mood changed a lot from the beginning when she hoped that someone would come to save her to being released as soon as possible.

"Miss, what are you doing?" Yuying thought it was strange. Each time, she sat in the center of the hall, while Miss Nine kept moving around the room.

It was the first time Yuying saw someone under house arrest and she was so busy.

"Didn't do anything," Zhu Luan's hands kept moving, still groping for everything in the room.

Zhu Luan knew very well that this punishment would never end with a grounding.

These few days of confinement are just to give the old ladies and wives of the Zhu family enough time to choose their own way out in the future.

She had to find a way to get out of here on her own.

At this moment, when she walked to the wall near the main courtyard, she suddenly felt some disobedience, carefully tapped the wall and the ground she had just stepped on, and listened intently, and a very faint and somewhat hollow voice came out.

It's very flat and hard to discern, but this subtle hollow sound is still familiar to her.

This is?

Chamber?
