Chapter 17: I can't miss a single point that belongs to me, and I don't have mercy
The old lady sighed, "Sorry girl, are you still blaming your grandmother for ignoring you all these years and letting others bully you?" Her old face revealed haggard and deep helplessness, "Actually, grandmother knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances in the Hou Mansion over the years, but grandmother also has grandmother's hardships, if you don't turn a blind eye to you, how can you live to this day." The old lady took Li Weixi's white hand, "Now, let some things pass!" You don't have to dwell on the past, look for their bad luck, and wait for an opportunity to take revenge. ”
Li Wei did not hesitate to put away his smile, his face was serious, and he said with relief: "Grandmother, you misunderstood, how can your granddaughter be such a small-bellied person." The granddaughters of the past have never blamed you, let alone anyone in the Hou Mansion, so why wait for an opportunity to take revenge. ”
"Then you're ······" The old lady was puzzled, but if you want to say that Li Wei regretted that this return to the door was just a matter of etiquette and did not contain any purpose, the old lady really did not believe it.
"My granddaughter just wants to get back what belongs to her."
"Your stuff?" The old lady frowned, where is there anything else in this Zhongyi Marquis Mansion? ! After thinking about it for a while, the old lady suddenly realized that it was the reward that the emperor gave when he got married? "Sorry girl, you also know the situation of the Hou Mansion over the years, and the rewards that the emperor gave you when he promised the marriage contract······
Li did not hesitate to interrupt the old lady's words, "Look! Grandmother, you misunderstood your granddaughter again, didn't you? ”
The reason why Li didn't regret not letting Lao Taijun continue to talk about it was because she didn't plan to return to those, and she didn't want to listen to Lao Taijun's high-sounding reasons. Li did not hesitate to understand the behavior of the old lady to withhold the reward of the emperor, after all, the huge Zhongyi Marquis Mansion still needs these things to press the bottom of the box, and it also needs to support the façade.
The old lady was even more puzzled, since it was not a reward from the emperor, what did he want? The old lady looked directly at her, waiting for Li Wei's words.
There are some things she can do without, and some things she must ask for back! "What my granddaughter wants is the dowry that my mother left me back then!" Li did not hesitate to say every word.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, "Although the Hou Mansion was a little simple and sloppy on the day you got married, the dowry left to you by your mother was carried into the palace with you intact." How do you ask for it again? "This matter was specially ordered by the old lady.
Li did not hesitate to remain silent, "Grandmother, have you asked someone to confirm it yourself?" "The old lady doesn't seem to be telling lies, I'm afraid that someone is making trouble behind his back.
"This ······" The old lady was not sure, and turned back to ask Grandma Lu'e.
With a "plop", Mama Lu E knelt down to the old lady, "Miss, it's all the slave's fault!" "Mama Lu E was originally the personal maid before the old lady left the pavilion, and the old lady married into the Hou Mansion for decades, but Mama Lu E's name for her has never changed.
"What does this have to do with you?" The old lady asked, she couldn't believe that the person she trusted the most would also be involved.
It turned out that that day, Mama Lu E inadvertently bumped into Mrs. Li's withholding and exchanging Li's uncherished dowry. She wanted to stop it, but when she thought of Li Weixi's stupid appearance now, even more dowry could not make her gain a foothold in King Yan's Mansion. Instead of cheapening Lord Yan, it is better to let Mrs. Li detain things in the Hou Mansion. Seeing that the old lady was frowning for the Hou Mansion all day long, Mama Lu E was really distressed, after all, the Hou Mansion was different from the past. She just needs to prevent Mrs. Li from misappropriating it for other purposes, she will definitely have a useful place in the future, and she must know that the dowry that Li has not regretted is not a small amount.
"The slave should not hide it from the young lady." Mama Lu E simply informed the two of them about the matter.
Hearing this, "You are confused! The old lady sighed for a while, "You have been by my side since you were a child, and you also know my temper, so take the punishment yourself!" ”
Mama Lu'e kowtowed to the old lady, stood up tremblingly, and walked towards the door.
The old lady glanced at Grandma Lu E with tears in her eyes, and then turned back and stopped looking at her.
Li Weixi is a smart person, she knows that the old lady is for her, but in fact, she is reluctant to give up, after all, this green grandmother is not young.
Li didn't hesitate to take a few quick steps to stop Mama Lu'e, who was about to push the door out, and turned back to comfort the old lady.
"Grandmother, don't be angry!" Li did not hesitate to pull the guilty Mama Lu E in front of the old lady, "The granddaughter thinks that the grandmother can't blame Mama Lu E, Mama Lu E, she only thinks about her grandmother and this Hou Mansion, and she has never had the slightest selfishness." ”
Li did not hesitate to snuggle up to the old lady's side obediently and sensibly, "Look, Mama Lu'e is also old now, how can she stand the family law of the Hou Mansion." Besides, you can trust Grandma Lu'e the most in this Hou Mansion, if she really has three long and two short, don't you even have a person who can speak considerately! ”
Li didn't hesitate to smile softly, "According to my granddaughter, this time I will be exempted from the punishment of Grandma Lu'e." "She is happy to sell this favor, and older people value affection the most, so why not do it!
The old lady sighed, "That's it! Today, for the sake of the girl, this matter has been revealed. ”
"The old slave thanked the little lady here."
Mama Lu'e wanted to kowtow with gratitude, but was stopped by Li Weixi, "Mama Lu'e doesn't have to be polite. After finishing speaking, Li did not hesitate to pretend to be worried and frowned, "It's just that my mother ······ there." Favors are favors, and this dowry is still worth it.
The old lady didn't know what Li didn't regret, but she didn't expect this girl to be stupid and stupid for five years, and no one had ever trained her to be so smart. The old lady decided to sell it to her, "Sorry girl, don't worry, your mother's dowry grandmother will help you get a lot back today." ”
"Lu'e, do you know what things Madame has changed?" The old lady asked.
Mama Lu'e thought for a moment, "Miss Hui's words, the slave and maid were far away that day, and they didn't see it clearly. However, the slave and maid kept an eye on it, and counted and found that twelve boxes of dowry had been withheld. ”
The old lady frowned, "Sorry girl, how can you clear the algorithm like this?" "The old lady did it on purpose, and since he had the heart to ask for it, he should naturally have a way.
Li Weixi seemed to have thought of it, and smiled lightly, "What's so difficult about this!" She took out a few pieces of paper from her bosom, "This is the details that my mother left back then, as for the dowry that my mother gave me······ I brought it all to the door today, and I think I am now being carried into the treasury of the Hou Mansion. ”
Li didn't hesitate to think about it, she felt funny, she was really worried about this Mrs. Li's IQ! obviously deducted her dowry, but put the original details in it as it was.
The old lady praised in her heart: Although this girl came prepared, she also left a few points for the Hou Mansion on her face, and couldn't help but look at her granddaughter again. The Li Wei in front of her made her feel strange and expectant, it seems that there is finally someone in this Zhongyi Marquis Mansion who can be counted on.
"Pity girl, you go to the front hall first, don't snub the prince. As for the dowry······" After all, family ugliness should not be publicized, "Lu'e, you go and call Mrs. to say that I have something urgent to find her." ”
Li did not hesitate to understand what the old lady meant, and withdrew. The old lady's position made Li Weixi a little surprised, she whispered a few words to Chun Tao, and Chun Tao took the order and left. Li did not regret but quickened his steps and walked towards the antechamber······
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Li Weipian was dragged back to the room by Mrs. Li, and he was very dissatisfied and unwilling. Although she was in the boudoir, her mind was full of Zhao Qingcheng's cold and handsome appearance and majestic and upright posture.
When Li Weilian instructed the personal maid to repeatedly confirm that Mrs. Li had gone away and had no time to take care of her, Li Weilian couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't wait to rush to the front hall. Her idea is very simple, that is, to take the rare opportunity to get close to Zhao Qingcheng, let him fall in love with her, and when the time is ripe, she will take the position of Princess Yan.
Here, Zhao Qingcheng, who was left alone in the front hall, really didn't dare to compliment the hospitality of this Hou Mansion, but fortunately, from time to time, someone came to pour tea and water for him, and he was also happy to be quiet. He drank tea, estimated that Li did not hesitate to go to the old lady's time, thinking that it was time to come back······
A sound of broken footsteps came, Zhao Qingcheng frowned, from the footsteps he heard the comer, and knew in his heart that this tranquility was over.
Li Weipian took small steps, and sneered at the maid beside him: "My mother is really true, how can she leave the prince alone in the front hall, and don't find someone to talk to." If the prince misunderstands that the Hou Mansion is disrespectful to him, how can it be good? She spoke, striding into the antechamber.
Li Weilian's voice when he said this was not loud or small, just enough to enter Zhao Qingcheng's ears, and he knew that this was obviously for him.
"Lord Wang." Li Wei was merciful, "I hope you will forgive your sins, the Hou Mansion is not negligent." ”
Zhao Qingcheng put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly, "It's okay." ”
Zhao Qingcheng's coldness made Li Weipian feel a little disappointed, but he didn't give up. Li Weipian didn't believe that Zhao Qingcheng would not be moved by her appearance, would she just let Zhao Qingcheng misunderstand her intentions towards Ye Xizhi in her mother's words, so she deliberately distanced herself, and Li Weipian secretly guessed.
Li Wei owed a debt, and moved to sit on the chair beside Zhao Qingcheng, only a few cases between the two.
Li Weipity's move made Zhao Qingcheng, who already did not have a high evaluation of her, even more discounted, and said in his heart: It is no longer appropriate for a girl who has not left the cabinet to meet a man who already has a family alone, let alone her brother-in-law. is so shameless, the tutor of the Hou Mansion is really disagreeable.
Li Weilian didn't know what Zhao Qingcheng was thinking at the moment, and was busy explaining to him, "Lord Wang, don't take my mother's words to heart, Li'er and Ye Gongzi are only one-sided, how can they think about him." Li Wei pouted, his face full of grievances, "My mother is really, she actually messed up the mandarin duck spectrum." ”
Zhao Qingcheng was funny, what does this have to do with him? Why bother. Zhao Qingcheng glanced at Li Weipian noncommittally.
Li Weilian was already devoted to Zhao Qingcheng, but he was more and more heartbroken by his look, and looked at Zhao Qingcheng with charming eyes, "Don't hide it from the prince, Lian'er already has someone in mind." After finishing speaking, Li Wei covered half of his face with a handkerchief and shyly, and his eyes looked at Zhao Qingcheng fiercely.
Zhao Qingcheng is a fool! Even if he didn't notice it at first, the various actions of Li Weipi at this moment and the meaning revealed in her words could not be clearer.
Zhao Qingcheng looked at the delicate and pretentious Li Weipian in front of him, and felt that his scalp was numb for a while. He deliberately turned his head to take the tea cup, and resented why he didn't come back for a long time, if it weren't for her, he was afraid that Zhao Qingcheng wouldn't want to stay for a moment.
Li Wei saw that Zhao Qingcheng never spoke, and his face was a little unbearable, "Lord Wang, but I am tired of seeing Pian'er, so I don't want to deal with it." She had a mist in her eyes and said aggrievedly.
"This king has always been silent." Zhao Qingcheng really didn't want to say much to her.
"In this way, the poor child is relieved." Li Weipian smiled like a flower at this time, and turned his head around, "Hey, the eldest sister still makes the prince marry into the door like this, and there can't be other concubines, but I really wronged you." Li Weipian was unhappy for Zhao Qingcheng on the surface, but in fact, he wanted to explore Zhao Qingcheng's attitude towards this marriage.
As for Li Weipi's careful thinking about where he could escape his eyes, Zhao Qingcheng said quietly: "This matter is the will of the emperor. ”
Seeing that Zhao Qingcheng's attitude towards this marriage was not clear, Li Weipian tried again, "Could it be that the prince is willing to only guard the stupid eldest sister in this life?" ”
Zhao Qing Chengfeng's eyes were half-narrowed, her thin lips were slightly curled, and she looked at Li Weipian as if she was inquiring, guessing her next words.
And Zhao Qingcheng's appearance really made Li Weipian stunned, she finally settled down, and seemed to have to offer a plan to Zhao Qingcheng, "There is a way for the prince to get rid of the eldest sister, and not to fall into the hands of others, which can be described as the best of both worlds." ”
Zhao Qingcheng smiled coldly in his heart, this Li Weipi actually calculated his eldest sister for his own selfish desires, no wonder he never heard Li Weixi mention it, it must be an unspeakable thing for her to have such a sister.
Having said that, Zhao Qingcheng's face was not visible, "Oh······"
