The two of them went up to the little maid and continued:

"It's true! I heard about it last time, and I still don't believe it! ”

"Although Mrs. is powerful, she has always rewarded and punished clearly, and never favors anyone in the face of mistakes, they have gained benefits by doing more, and they should not be punished if they do not do well."

"yes, I think so too"

The more Xia Li listened, the more he felt that the portrait was strange, but it would be impossible to find it again today, and he didn't stay too long when he thought of it, and when he saw that the person didn't look at this side, he flew out of the Red Lotus Courtyard directly through the open window.

This time, she didn't dare to delay too much time, and flew directly from the roof into the second-room courtyard.

She was afraid that Li Honglian's secret guard would come back, although she could beat these people, but she would suffer if she was found to have her identity exposed.

Xia Li hurriedly took off his night clothes and changed into the original pullover, and after a short time, Chu Han came to report that the eldest lady and they were back.

didn't expect this person to come back so early, she hurriedly asked Chu Han to see if her brother also came back.

Chu Han hurriedly went out to see, and after a short time, he came back to report that he hadn't yet, and only the old lady, the eldest lady and a few young ladies in the big house came back, and several others didn't come back.

Xia Wei wondered, could it be that something happened in the palace, why didn't his father and uncle come back.

I want to find someone to inquire, but I haven't seen anyone at home, and I don't dare to ask a few maids brought by the big house, they are all people's henchmen, and she won't say anything if she asks, but it's a bad thing.

Xia Li walked around the room a few times, and asked Chu Han to go out to wander around the house, she forgot, she hadn't seen it once since Qingyi went to the big room.

It's okay now, so it's okay for the two of them to go and have a look.

When I arrived at the door of the courtyard of the big house, I listened to the mother-in-law who guarded the door: "I'm sorry Miss Li, Madame has ordered, no one is allowed to enter?" ”

Xia Li snorted softly, "I'm not going to your wife, what's the matter with your wife, I want to go and see Qingyi, the master sent by the palace to teach me the rules, don't let go"

Although the mother-in-law was a little scared when she heard it, Erniang confessed that people who were not in the big house would not be allowed to enter at all, so she stretched out her arm and stopped her directly:

"Madame confessed, no one is allowed to enter, so Miss, you can't blame the old woman and me"

"Get out of the way, I'll say it again, it's also to give you a chance, if you don't let me now, don't blame me for being rude"

Li Honglian is more and more reluctant to enter, Xia Libian is about to go in and have a look, she goes to see the light clothes, even if the uncle comes back, she has something to say.

The mother-in-law still didn't let her hear this, she wanted to let Erniang come over for a while, and she would be punished.

Xia Li got angry, and threw his sleeves at this mother-in-law, and threw this person to the ground.

The mother-in-law was already heavy, and because she had been an old man in the house for a few years, she had eaten well and weighed a lot more.

I don't know if I fell unconscious or what, but I lay on the ground and didn't move.

Chu Han was frightened, "Miss...... She's not going to die! ”

"Don't worry, people die so easily! At most, I fainted" Xia Li said as he stepped into the yard, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he took it back again and said to the little girl:

"Go back quickly, see that they are taking this on you, you don't have to follow me, I'll go by myself, you go quickly"

Chu Han shook his head uneasy, "No, Miss, I'm with you"

"Let you go, just go, so much trouble, it's troublesome for you to follow me"

"Okay!" Chu Han nodded when he heard this, and walked out quickly.

Xia Li entered the courtyard with a flat face, she didn't plan to go to Li Honglian's Red Lotus Courtyard, but because she was passing by, she couldn't help but look inside, but the strange thing was that the courtyard door was locked, and there was no one in the courtyard.

She stood in front of the door and listened carefully, but there was no sound inside, like no one?

Isn't Li Honglian back? Why is it that there is no one in the courtyard and no one in the house? Or is it too far away, she heard it wrong! Xia Xuan was strange, and when he saw that Zuo Si was selfless, he quickly flew into the Red Lotus Courtyard.

She quickly rushed to Li Honglian's window with her whole body on alert, she didn't want to come in, but she couldn't stop the curiosity in her heart, she poked open the window paper and quickly looked inside.

Inside, as she had heard, there was no one in the vacuum, there was nothing, what was the situation, no one in the courtyard did not say, not even in the house.

Xia Li didn't dare to stay long, and after a few glances, she flew out of the gate again, but she didn't leave, but pretended to take a walk outside the Red Lotus Courtyard.

She wanted to know what Li Honglian was doing.

After a short time, there was a half-pillar of incense in the gongfu, and she saw that Erniang actually led a group of maids and women out of the next wing of the Honglian Courtyard.

What is the situation, she was already curious, and she wanted to know the whole story, so she stepped over and blocked the second lady in front of her and said:

"Erniang, you are not waiting in front of my aunt, what do you mean by coming out of there? And why don't you people go to the yard and what are you doing? Did you secretly do something bad to my aunt? ”

Erniang now knows Xia Li's history, so she dares to say anything else, so she hurriedly gave a salute and said, "It turned out to be Miss Li!" We're going to ......."

Before this person finished speaking, the big girl next to Li Honglian came over and said: "That's Miss Li, we were ordered by our lady to go to the next room to worship the Buddha statue, this is the rule of our Red Lotus Temple."

"Oh! I can't imagine that your Red Lotus Courtyard has such rules, and your wife can be in the house? ”

"Of course, our wife is also like us, worshipping in the house! Is there anything wrong with Miss? ”

Xia Qian wondered, there was no one in this house at all, and Li Honglian was not in the house at all, why did these subordinates lie.

But he said silently: "I'm going to see the light clothes"

"Miss Nali, the slaves have retired"

Xia Li nodded, stepped aside, and the people walked away again.

After that, she didn't dare to stay outside for fear that others would be suspicious, so she went to Qingyi.

The yard where Qingyi lived was not far from the yard where Aunt Poria lived, except for a few trees in the middle, the rest were almost the same.

The little maid who served the light clothes was not very old, she looked twelve or thirteen years old, she was not very good-looking, her skin was average, but she was very excited, and she may have just bought it from outside.

Although Xia Li hadn't seen it, he still saluted Miss Shengli when he saw it.

"Is your aunt here? I'll come and see her."

The little maid hurriedly said, "Yes, miss, please come in with the slave!" ”

Xia Li nodded and followed, and the little maid shouted as she walked, "Auntie, Miss Li has come to see you"

Qingyi heard in the house and walked out.

Xia Li saw that this person was wearing a brightly colored pink red shirt, and his face was also touched with thick fat powder, and he showed his aunt's usual squeamishness when he walked and twisted, if it wasn't for the closer look and that face, she really couldn't recognize this person.

"Miss Li, you're here, come in and sit!" Qingyi saw that Xia Li was stunned and didn't move, and hurriedly said.

The man's voice didn't change much, and Xia Li obediently entered the house.
