Xiao Lingxiao told Xiao Fengming the words of the divine wolf, and Xiao Fengming's face changed. Although Chufu Mansion looks like an ordinary restaurant, it is extremely heavily guarded, and Xiao Fengming's secret guards can only wait outside. I thought that no one would do anything here, but I didn't expect to be targeted.

"Sister, let's go." As he spoke, Xiao Fengming was about to get up.

Xiao Lingxiao smiled and grabbed his arm and said, "If you just want to eat a meal, why bother here?" ”

Xiao Fengming frowned, and couldn't help but pick up Xiao Lingxiao from the warm couch, "I know you want to see what is famous here, but I'm not in a hurry." You give me two days, and I'll look into it. ”

Seeing that Xiao Fengming insisted on leaving, Xiao Lingxiao had no choice but to put on her shoes and go out with him. As soon as he went out, an attendant stepped forward to greet him with a smile. Xiao Fengming took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to him, and took Xiao Lingxiao down the corridor.

Unlike the staircase, the cloister here spirals slowly downward, and it is impossible to tell how many floors it has reached. If anyone who knows Qimen Dunjia comes here, they will know that there are actually many secret passages in this building, some of which are for the convenience of the attendants here, and some are specially reserved for the departure of distinguished guests. These passages are more convenient than the corridor, so before Xiao Fengming and Xiao Lingxiao reached the end of the corridor, the people who were eyeing them had already appeared in front of them.

"Ling Xiao?"

The fourth prince heard that a man and a woman came here with the bronze medal of Wanguanzhuang, so he asked his subordinates to keep an eye on them, but he never thought that the person who came turned out to be Xiao Lingxiao. It was the first time he had seen her since the last time he had said goodbye to the palace banquet.

Looking at Xiao Lingxiao, the four princes' minds flashed like lightning flashed over what had happened during this time, and his face gradually turned cold, and he spoke softly, "It turned out to be you, I haven't seen you for many days." ”

Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help but sneer when she saw his attitude change drastically, "Your Royal Highness must not want to see me, so please don't get in the way." ”

After the emperor gave Xiao Lingxiao and Su Donghan a marriage, the imperial concubine called the four princes to persuade them in the palace, and the attitude of the imperial concubine was also the attitude of the Ji family, and the four princes could not disobey them no matter what, so they had to suppress other ideas. Now the four princes really don't want to see Xiao Lingxiao again.

It's just that Su Donghan died, and their marriage contract was gone, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Lingxiao became free again. The fourth prince looked at her, and countless thoughts flooded in his heart.

At this moment, the door next to him opened, the pink light veil fluttered, and a young woman walked out slowly with lotus steps.

This woman is petite, wearing gorgeous clothes, wearing luxurious accessories on her head, her face is fair, a pair of apricot kernel eyes, the tips of her eyes are slightly upturned, she holds her hands together, holds her head high, looks at Xiao Lingxiao with a high look, and then said, "I thought that His Royal Highness came out to see a distinguished guest, hum, I didn't expect it to be you." ”

Xiao Lingxiao looked at this woman's appearance and felt that she seemed to be vaguely similar to someone. At this time, the fourth prince glanced at the woman with a cold face, and then introduced Xiao Lingxiao with some helplessness, "Miss Xiao probably doesn't know much, this is Qi Huile, the daughter of Lord Shangshu Qi of the Ministry of War." ”

Xiao Lingxiao glanced at the fourth prince, just now he didn't call her Lingxiao again, but called Miss Xiao, which shows that he has some scruples about this Qi Huile in front of him. No wonder I thought this woman looked like just now, take a closer look, she and the eldest lady Qi are similar in appearance and temperament, especially the appearance of no one in the eyes of the two, it is exactly the same. Qi Hongzhi, the eldest son of the old man of the Qi family, Qi Guogong, worships the military department, and although this Qi Huile is not as favored as his eldest daughter Qi Huiying, it can be regarded as the pearl of the Qi Mansion. Qi Huiying seems to have already made a marriage, and it seems that the fourth prince has turned the spearhead to win over the Qi family, so he has set his sights on Qi Huile.

Xiao Lingxiao snorted a little contemptuously, nodded slightly at Qi Huile, said hello, and then said to Xiao Fengming, "Fengming, let's go." ”

When the four princes heard this, they turned sideways and didn't plan to say anything more to them, but at this time, Qi Huile stepped forward and blocked Xiao Lingxiao's way.

Qi Huile was half a head shorter than Xiao Lingxiao, she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Lingxiao, and said with a mocking smile, "What? Is the eldest lady of the Xiao family so ignorant of etiquette? Haha, I forgot, I heard that you used to be blind and dumb, and you didn't learn any etiquette at all. Miss Xiao, we are also relatives, if you don't know the etiquette of meeting people, why don't I teach you? ”

Xiao Fengming immediately frowned when he heard Qi Huile's disrespectful words, he raised his eyes to look at the four princes, and saw that his face had become a little gloomy, but he didn't say anything to stop him.

At this time, I heard Xiao Lingxiao smile indifferently, "If you don't say that I forgot, you are the Qi family, my mother is also the Qi family, she is your aunt, then I am your cousin." Qi Huile, how old are you this year? According to the elder and youngest, should I give you a gift, or should you give me a gift? ”

Xiao Lingxiao's words changed Qi Huile's face. She knew that Xiao Lingxiao was fifteen years old, and she was thirteen years old, so she should call Xiao Lingxiao a cousin, of course, she should give Xiao Lingxiao a gift. But now she started the conversation first, how could she not bow her head like this, so Qi Huile rolled her eyes and snorted coldly, "If I were you, wouldn't you dare to walk around outside at this time, now it is rumored all over the street that you Xiao Lingxiao is an ominous daughter, and she killed Su Donghan, the little prince of the Mudd Palace." Miss Xiao, aren't you afraid of being poked in the back and discussed? The Xiao family's face has been lost by you. If you want to say that my aunt is pitiful enough, she entered the Xiao family as a steproom, and she has to worry about such a daughter who is not her own. I'm here

When I saw it, I felt distressed. ”

"If you enter someone's door and then take care of someone's business, if I were you, before I left the cabinet, I wouldn't chew my tongue like this." Xiao Lingxiao glanced at the fourth prince with a pointful smile, and then said, "Although my mother is a stepfamily, she has never complained in front of others, I am not her biological daughter, should she ignore me?" Hmph, which of the rich and noble families is not three wives and four concubines, if the housewife of the house only cares about her own children and abandons the children of the concubine, what kind of system is it? Could it be that this is the tutor of the Qi family? ”

When Qi Huile heard this, she was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, and then she glanced back at the fourth prince, and saw that his face was very bad, and she was even more panicked.

"Xiao Lingxiao! What did you say! You dare to insult our Qi family! Qi Huile was annoyed and angry, shouted at Xiao Lingxiao, then turned around and ran to the side of the fourth prince, and said aggrievedly, "Fourth Highness, look at Xiao Lingxiao, she insulted our Qi family!" ”

The fourth prince showed a very gentle smile and said to Qi Huile, "I think Miss Xiao is just a momentary gaffe, the Xiao family and the Qi family are connected by blood, and Miss Xiao will not intentionally insult the Qi family." ”

When Qi Huile heard this, he couldn't help frowning, looked at the four princes, then looked at Xiao Lingxiao, secretly gritted his teeth, and didn't say anything anymore.

Xiao Lingxiao saw that she flinched, and she no longer entangled, and left Chufu Building with Xiao Fengming.

In the next few days, Xiao Fengming took Xiao Lingxiao to see several properties he had purchased, a magnificent inn, a thriving pharmacy, and a large teahouse close to the water.

"I originally planned to open a rice village, but Shang Lingyu said that the business was too entangled with the official family, and it had long been controlled, so I couldn't ......do it for the time being," Xiao Fengming introduced these businesses to Xiao Lingxiao one by one in an indifferent tone.

Xiao Lingxiao was surprised after looking around, she didn't expect Xiao Fengming to do so many things in such a short period of time, if these things were handed over to Xiao Lingxiao to do in person, she didn't have the confidence to do it like this.

"Bongming! You're amazing! Xiao Lingxiao looked at the account books that Xiao Fengming brought and praised them sincerely.

Xiao Fengming turned his head to see Xiao Lingxiao's face of surprise, and said with a smile, "Isn't it because you earned so much silver?" If you want to say that you are amazing, you are still amazing. ”

In the past few days, Xiao Fengming has changed his name to Ling Xiao on his own, Xiao Lingxiao resisted several times, and finally it was invalid. He called too many times, Xiao Lingxiao didn't care, this guy was a little older than himself, and he kept asking him to call him sister, but it wasn't like that.

The two were chatting in front of a pile of ledgers, when they heard the sound of footsteps, and as soon as the door opened, Bao Rong'er flashed in.

Bao Rong'er insisted on coming back after recuperating for a few days, she was not seriously injured, so Xiao Lingxiao asked her to recuperate with her. As soon as she entered the door, she said, "Master, the Sixth Prince is here again." ”

The sixth prince, Li Jingxuan, has been to the Prime Minister's Mansion several times, but he doesn't know what Xiao Lingxiao has been busy with these days, and he hasn't been able to see her every time he comes. finally heard that Xiao Lingxiao was at home, and Li Jingxuan hurriedly asked people to go to Qinghe Courtyard to spread the word. The maid who passed the message came back and said that Xiao Lingxiao invited him to Qinghe Courtyard, and Li Jingxuan was secretly happy. Xiao Lingxiao was able to receive him in his own courtyard, which seemed to mean that Xiao Lingxiao regarded him as an unguarded friend to Li Jingxuan.

Li Jingxuan entered the main hall of Qinghe Courtyard and found that not only Xiao Lingxiao was there, but Xiao Fengming was also there. After greeting the two of them, he sat down and said, "The Yamen of the Criminal Department has collected all the evidence, Su Donghan is the flower thief, and his father, King Mude, has also gone to his father to plead guilty." ”

Li Jingxuan couldn't hide the excitement in his words, because when the dust settled on this matter, it also showed that he, the prince, had escaped from this incident. This time, the emperor will not only not abandon his son again, but will reward him, and even use him more in the future. Li Jingxuan wanted to tell Xiao Lingxiao the good news as soon as possible and let him share his joy. Only Xiao Lingxiao, who knew his situation, understood his mood and made him endure for a while, can now experience his pleasure.

However, after Li Jingxuan finished saying these words, he found that Xiao Lingxiao's gaze at him was unexpectedly cold.
