Xia Li looked at Xia Ye there and said, "Thinking that you have been to the big house for so long and have not returned, I will come and have a look" She pretended not to know and asked, "What did Uncle say to you?" ”

Xia Ye opened his mouth and said, "Nothing?" Let's go, go back and talk about it."

The brother and sister entered the courtyard of the second room, and Xia Ye said, "Li'er, you and your uncle will go and talk to Wang Yushi tomorrow to make it clear, right?" This was originally a misunderstanding, and our own affairs were better solved by ourselves, so why bother to spread it to the court. ”

Xia Li had guessed that his brother would say this, after all, he and his father had similar temperaments, and they were both family-oriented people, she said there:

"You go and tell the eldest uncle, as long as the eldest aunt returns my mother's things exactly right, I will go and tell him about it, otherwise he doesn't want me to compromise, even if this matter goes to the emperor, I have to make it clear."

Xia Ye saw that her sister was in a temper, and she was there: "Li'er, whether it is the eldest aunt or what, it is our Xia Mansion's own business, do you think it is appropriate to make trouble in the court because of this little thing?" ”

Xia Li snorted softly, "Why is it inappropriate, why can't you say it, do you want to do what Yushitai does?" ”

Xia Ye persuaded him with good words:

"You are making such a fuss that is tantamount to pushing the private affairs of our Xia Mansion in front of everyone, although it is to force the aunts and aunts to admit their mistakes, but what can you do! It's a big fuss, and my father and I don't look good on our faces, besides, even if Wang Yushi really says this to the emperor tomorrow, can the emperor really be able to uphold justice? To put it bluntly, this is a housework, and no one can say it without a father, and it will only make people laugh."

Xia Li knew that this brother had listened to the words of the eldest uncle, so he said this, she said there:

"Uncle told you to say this! You can tell him that if you want me to compromise, you can let my aunt return my mother's things to me, otherwise he is not afraid of losing face, what am I afraid of? ”

"You...... Li'er ...... "Xia Ye doesn't have the slightest way to deal with such a sister.

Xia Li said there: "What? Am I not right, she will be embarrassed if she encroaches on her mother's things, if she is not afraid of what I say, she will come, anyway, I can't frame her as a junior? It's all the truth, but it's because she's at fault, so she's afraid, she's shameless, I still care about these dispensable things, and this matter has nothing to do with you, it's all caused by me, so you and the eldest uncle just say it's my personal meaning" She didn't want to burden her brother.

Xia Ye said there: "What are you talking about, what do you mean alone, I'm my brother, don't I say it?"

Xia Li said there: "No, brother, you just need to be the bridge between me and Dafang, your temperament is not suitable for this." ”

Xia Ye said there: "No, I'm your brother, how can I let you rush forward"

Xia Li said there: "Brother, I don't want you to stand in front of me directly, I want you to stand behind me and become my backer, isn't it better?"

Xia Ye wanted to refute, but Xia Li didn't let him say it, and continued: "Does my brother want to expose himself and let me have no backer at that time?" ”

“……”

"Brother, I know you're doing it for my good, but sometimes you have to talk about methods, don't you? After a while, you can let people tell Uncle what I said, and what we want to do depends on what they want to do first."

Xia Ye couldn't help it, and finally nodded.

After the brother and sister finished talking, they went back to their respective rooms.

It didn't take long for Xia Li to hear Chu Han say that the uncle's little servant went to his brother's place, and he went back again after staying for a long time.

She guessed that the uncle must have asked someone to ask her brother what he had just said.

As long as the eldest aunt gives her something, she will compromise, otherwise everything will not be discussed.

Now that Xia Fu's every move is on the cusp, what does the eldest aunt dare not do to their brothers and sisters? But there's no guarantee that she'll be ruined, and she'll have to give her some warning.

Xia Li looked at the sky outside before it was dark, and said to Chu Han; "Go, come with me to the eldest lady, I have something to say to her"

Although Chu Han didn't understand what Miss was doing there so late, he still promised to say "yes", and said with some worry after replying: "Miss, don't you need to go to the young master to go with you"

Xia Li said there: "You must not let him know about this matter, otherwise my brother will not be able to do it if he is soft-hearted."

"Yes, Miss"

Chu Han didn't dare to propose a refutation again when he heard the young lady say this, so he only followed behind.

After a short time, the two arrived at the door of the big house, and saw that the mother-in-law Xia Li, who was guarding the door, was just about to open the door, but when he saw this person, he glanced at her and hurriedly turned around and ran inside.

Chu Han shouted a few times in the back, and the mother-in-law didn't even turn his head, and the one who ran was fast.

"Miss, this person didn't even care about the gate and ran away"

Xia Li snorted lightly, "Don't worry about her, she must be going to call someone, let's go."

"Yes" Chu Han obediently walked in with Miss, but she wondered in her heart, is Miss so terrible? It's really annoying that these people run away when they see people.

Before the master and servant walked halfway to the Red Lotus Courtyard, they saw Erniang and the mother-in-law who had just left coming together.

Seeing Xia Li, he hurriedly saluted and said: "It's Miss Li, Mrs. is resting now, I'm afraid I can't see Miss Li, if Miss has something to do......"

Xia Li glanced at this person and didn't wait for this person to finish speaking, and still walked inside.

Erniang was afraid and anxious, and chased after her: "Miss Li, how can it be good for you to break into Madame's yard like this and spread the word?"

Xia Li glanced at this person and said, "I have something to say to my aunt, so you might as well take advantage of my efforts to stop me and tell my aunt, do you think that the person I want to see will not be able to see him?" ”

Erniang was trembling when she heard this, and she didn't stop anymore, and hurriedly ran back to the Red Lotus Courtyard to report.

Li Honglian didn't think about Xia Li, today she saw this person's martial arts, and she was a little worried, so she intuitively didn't want to see this dead girl.

At this time, when I heard Erniang's report, my face sank; "Then let her in, I'd like to see what she has to say?"

Xia Li was let into the house, and saw that the eldest aunt was still sitting there leisurely as every time.

She didn't salute when she looked at the man, sat down on her own and said, "Auntie, I want to talk to you about something alone, but I don't mind if you want them to listen."

Li Honglian snorted lightly in her heart and said secretly: This dead girl can have something secret to say, not just her mother's, but she can handle it no matter what she says, and she doesn't care about it:

"Say it! I don't have outsiders here to listen to it."
