Chapter 61: Ambiguous Background

Ma Xiuying was unmoved, just smiled faintly: "If that's the case, my sisters and I really want to thank my sister for her virtuous move." ”

Li Ningluo saw that Fang Cai's provocative words had no effect at all, and thought about it again and again, and secretly admired Ma Xiuying for being calm and sophisticated. But after all, I was unwilling, I came here today, I originally wanted to take a peek at the reality, if I was not allowed to enter, I would return, it was really a little difficult to hide the embarrassment of this trip.

However, Ma Xiuying didn't pick up the stubble, and Li Ningluo really couldn't think of any tactful and dignified words for a while, so she had to think about it, and glanced at Cui'er, who was already standing behind Ma Xiuying, and said slowly: "Listening to Miss Cui'er, when she was in the mood this morning, Mrs. Ma was careless, infected with the wind cold, and was resting in bed. Originally, it was said that the sister should not come to disturb Sister Ma's recuperation, but the sister she sees now is in good health, and she must be happy to get rid of the medicine. ”

Ma Xiuying heard Li Ningluo say this, and she already understood that when Cui'er was driving outside for herself, she must have opened her mouth to say that she had already had a cold wind and was taking a quiet shot, and she originally wanted to open her mouth so that the other party didn't have to worry about it, but suddenly thought of Xu Biyi, who was sick in the secret room, as Chu Liuyan said, it was not much different from this kind of illness. If he admits that he has this disease, he can send someone out to grab medicine to cure the disease, no matter how hurried Li Ningluo is, he doesn't know the secret of stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix to treat others.

Therefore, his mind moved, he made up his mind, pretended to cough a few times, frowned and said: "Sister Lao bothered, when I got up today, my body was not in harmony, I coughed non-stop, and I saw thick phlegm from time to time, but after taking a picture in the house, I felt much better." As long as you eat a few pairs, it will be no big problem. But earlier, sweating like pulp, it was really a little scary, thank you sister for hanging ......" said and couldn't go on, and couldn't stop coughing.

Li Ningluo came to the outside of the house with some maids and maids just now, wanting to see Ma Xiuying. But Cui'er stopped at the door and didn't let her in, Li Ningluo asked, and Cui'er said that Ma Xiuying's body was not cool enough and should not be disturbed, so she said that she would not let Li Ningluo and others enter, Li Ningluo had already learned from the arranged eyeliner that Chu Liuyan had entered Ma Xiuying's bedroom, so she didn't believe what Cui'er said. Benyu has to break through.

However, seeing Ma Xiuying's situation, it doesn't seem to be a fake, although there are still doubts and suspicions in my heart, but most of them have already gone.

Therefore, Li Ningluo also said with a smile: "My sister's jade body is against harmony, and she should be quiet and recuperate, but at the moment, Wu Guogong is busy dealing with the attack of Han King Chen Youliang, and there are many affairs in the house, no one takes care of it, and my sister has a request, I want my sister to rest for a few days temporarily, and unload the burden of thousands of catties on her shoulders. ”

These words sound very beautiful, but they are actually a move to seize power.

Ma Xiuying naturally sniffed out the sinister intentions of his people from Li Ningluo's thoughtful words, so she snorted disdainfully, and then said: "Sister Lao misses, but in the mansion, there are rules, even if Mrs. Ben's body is against harmony, the people under her will also keep to themselves, take care of everything in the house in accordance with the rules, and don't worry about the sister." ”

Li Ningluo heard Ma Xiuying say this, and couldn't help laughing and said: "What is my sister saying this, I don't believe my sister." ”

Ma Xiuying listened to Li Ningluo's sisters and sisters, but Li Ningluo's instigation of Zhu Yuanzhang to beat Xu Biyi had already made Ma Xiuying fearful.

Li Ningluo is so enthusiastic, there must be another plan, although Fang Cai's words seem to be extremely considerate to Ma Xiuying, but Ma Xiuying has a slight change of thought, and has already understood Li Ningluo's intentions.

As soon as Li Ningluo heard that she occasionally felt cold, she beat the snake with the stick, and thoughtfully wanted to let herself hand over the power of the house, and also said that she would share the labor for herself, but in fact, she wanted to take the opportunity to put the power of the house in her hands.

Ma Xiuying saw this, and naturally she was reluctant to hand over the power to Li Ningluo.

Seeing Ma Xiuying's tone so resolute, Li Ningluo couldn't do anything, and in a blink of an eye, Ma Xiuying was followed by a woman in red with a sassy posture, a little familiar, and she was stunned. Soon recalled that when Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, punished Xu Biyi on a single day, he killed Cheng Cheng halfway to save Xu Biyi, and it was this person.

Li Ningluo couldn't help but raise his eyes and looked at Chu Liuyan deeply, Chu Liuyan knew that this person was a great enemy he had never encountered before, he was clever in his methods and secretive, and he was really an opponent who was extremely difficult to deal with.

Therefore, not to be outdone, Li Ningluo looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt a shock in his heart, thinking about what was the important matter of Chu Liuyan's visit to Wu Guogong's mansion this time.

From the eyeliner arranged by Wu Guogong, it was said that Chu Liuyan had already begged for Xu Biyi, and Wu Guogong opened up the network, and he didn't stop this woman.

The deliberate arrangements of his own side these days are about to come to fruition, which makes Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang and Generalissimo Xu Da have a bad relationship because of Xu Biyi's affairs, and they didn't expect to be destroyed by Chu Liuyan in the end, and they fell short, which is really regrettable.

What's more, after Xu Biyi was rescued by Chu Liuyan, he wanted to send someone to find Xu Biyi in the mansion several times and kill her to arouse the mutual distrust between Zhu Yuanzhang and Marshal Xu Da, but he didn't expect to dig three feet into the ground, and he didn't find the slightest trace of Xu Biyi, as if this person disappeared on the spot in Wu Guogong's mansion for no reason.

After secret visits and whistleblowing, Li Ningluo had already learned that Xu Biyi was most likely hidden by Ma Xiuying, but he sent a lot of eyeliner to spy for a few days, and even Ma Xiuying's maids and maids did not let go, but there were still no clues at all.

Hearing that Ma Xiuying's diet is as usual, even the cook in the house said that Ma Xiuying has not suddenly increased her appetite these days, and Li Ningluo, who was originally suspicious that Ma Xiuying hid Xu Biyi in the house, was also a little shaken, and she was at a loss, not knowing where Ma Xiuying hid Xu Biyi.

Today, from the conversation between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chu Liuyan, Wu Guogong, I finally learned that Chu Liuyan was going to visit Ma Xiuying, and Li Ningluo moved his mind and understood that the opportunity to find Xu Biyi from the mansion had come.

With this opportunity, Li Ningluo was naturally unwilling to let it go, so he rewarded the informant with a few ingots of silver, and then brought a group of maids and maidservants to ask to see Ma Xiuying.

The rest of the mansion has been searched, and there is no trace of Xu Biyi, and the only place that has not been searched is Ma Xiuying's bedroom.

At present, Chu Liuyan has come to ask to see Ma Xiuying, and several threads have come here, Li Ningluo feels that Ma Xiuying must be a little weird.

Therefore, he was very interested in asking the master of crime, and wanted to ask Ma Xiuying why she secretly hid Xu Biyi, who had committed adultery with the play.

However, when she arrived at the door of Ma Xiuying's house, she was stopped by her personal maid Cui'er, Li Ningluo saw that Cui'er didn't even give herself any face, so she was naturally extremely suspicious that Ma Xiuying's residence was a little weird.

After Ma Xiuying and Chu Liuyan appeared together, Li Ningluo knew that the possibility of figuring out Xu Biyi's hiding place in Ma Xiuying's residence was already very small, so he was a little angry at Ma Xiuying and others, and now that he saw Chu Liuyan, he resented this person for ruining his own big things, and naturally he didn't have a good face.

Chu Liuyan is the same, he also thinks that Li Ningluo is his great enemy, and now that he thinks about it, there are so many things in Wu Guogong's mansion, and it seems that there is a shadow of Li Ningluo behind everything.

For Li Shanchang's righteous daughter, there are really too many strange things.

However, before today, Chu Liuyan was a little suspicious, but when he saw Li Ningluo's clean and neat move, Chu Liuyan naturally understood that Li Ningluo was not only scheming, but also not weak in martial arts, and was definitely not an ordinary boudoir woman.

Therefore, he stood behind Ma Xiuying, looking at it without moving, trying to see some flaws in Li Ningluo's words and deeds.

Unexpectedly, Li Ningluo was scheming, and his words and deeds were very measured, blindly pretending to be jealous, insinuating, and pointing at Sang and scolding Huai without revealing any flaws.

Chu Liuyan looked at it for a long time, but he didn't find any flaws in this person.

Chu Liuyan looked at Li Ningluo quietly, but he didn't expect that Li Ningluo was also extremely curious about her, and then immediately recognized her.

After recognizing Chu Liuyan, Li Ningluo did not immediately reveal Chu Liuyan's identity, but turned to Ma Xiuying and asked: "My sister is in poor health, and my sister is not welcome to come to visit, but she is very generous to outsiders." ”

Ma Xiuying hurriedly denied it and said: "Sister, don't misunderstand, it's not like that, Miss Chu is not an outsider, she is a military advisor under the command of Wu Guogong, when I was a girl's family, I had a very secret relationship with Miss Chu, Wu Guogong and Miss Chu have known each other since childhood, and they are still good friends." ”

When Li Ningluo heard this, he pretended to be surprised and bowed deeply to Chu Liuyan, and said slowly: "Who am I, it turns out that it is the military advisor Chu Liuyan girl that Wu Guogong often mentions, and my father-in-law who I often heard mention before I passed the door, it was like thunder. Today is really a privilege to be able to see the dignity and admire the style, amazing talent, no one has ever passed. Sister Liuyan, please accept the worship of Little Sister Condensation. ”

Chu Liuyan heard her say this, and for a while she didn't know whether she was sincere or false, so she had to reply with a false and aggrieved snake and said: "Sister Ningluo doesn't need to be polite, thanks to the love of the generals and soldiers in the army, she has just gained some false fame, but in fact, she has no merit and no achievements." It's a shame for my sister to say that. ”

Li Ningluo said with a smile: "Sister Chu doesn't have to be humble, my sister sneaked into Hanyang alone, and designed to make King Han obey his words and defeat Longwan, which is really a masterpiece of the world." With this great achievement, my sister still has no intention of making any contributions, which is even more rare, how can it not be admired. ”

When Chu Liuyan heard this, his heart didn't move, it was a fact that he helped Zhu Yuanzhang to lure the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang to drive his troops straight into Longwan, but when he declared it to the outside world, he didn't say that this matter was his own credit, I don't know why Li Ningluo knew so much, not to mention a delicate and frail lady, how could he have heard such a secret matter.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuyan was not surprised, but his face was already silent, and he did not tell all the questions in his heart, but just asked: "Sister Ningluo, I heard that you are the righteous daughter of Li Junshi, and Li Junshi and I are colleagues, but I have never known when he accepted such a righteous daughter as you." ”

Li Ningluo listened to Chu Liuyan's words, smiled slightly, and said eloquently: "It's really thrilling to say this, my sister's ancestral home is a village outside Yingtian City, and my clan is also a giant clan, there are no other brothers in the family, my parents are old and have daughters, and there is no one else under my knees, so I naturally love me more than my life, since I was a child, I am the pearl of my palm, and there are a group of servants in the family, although it is not Zhong Mingding's family, it can be regarded as a solid family." However, after years of war, the soldiers have been in trouble, and there is no paradise anywhere. At the beginning of the year, the soldiers of the king of Han lost the battle, scattered and fled, passing by our village, seeing that our village was rich, and had evil intentions, they slaughtered all the men, women, and children in our village, and cut off the heads of the men as prisoners of war, hoping to return to repay the merits. My parents saw that it was not good, so they locked me in the firewood room, and I saw the Han soldiers carrying knives between the cracks in the door of the firewood room, and my parents pulled out of the house, and then killed them after asking where the soft house was, and I was afraid and frightened, and I cried out loud, and the Han soldiers heard my crying, so they found me in the firewood room, and wanted to find me. ”

Chu Liuyan heard what she said miserable, although he didn't know if it was true or not, he couldn't help but say: "My sister's life experience is really pitiful, in this troubled world, the small people who are fighting are all hungry, and they are still harassed by stragglers who have no humanity at all from time to time, and even their lives can't be saved if they are wrong, it's really sad to think about." ”

Li Ningluo's face was also gloomy, and he nodded at Chu Liuyan and said: "My sister is right, after Ningluo's parents were killed that day, the rout heard my cry coming from the firewood room, so they searched for it, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move, and I almost fainted." Seeing that a few stragglers were about to arrive at the door of the firewood room, I suddenly heard a group of Yingtian officers and soldiers coming behind, I don't know where the strength came from, I rushed out of the firewood room, and asked for help from the Yingtian officers and soldiers. In this catastrophe, I originally thought that I would definitely die, but fortunately I was rescued by Li Shanchang's military division, so that I was able to live in the world secretly, and my sister recognized Li Shanchang as my father-in-law. ”

When Chu Liuyan heard Li Ningluo say this, it was also reasonable, without the slightest flaw, if she was a weak female streamer, she would naturally behave like this in the face of great difficulties.

Thinking like this, Chu Liuyan unconsciously moved his heart of compassion, and said to Li Ningluo sadly: "Sister Ningluo, you have suffered, I didn't expect your life experience to be so miserable. ”

Saying that, Chu Liuyan walked up to Li Ningluo, grabbed her hand, put it in his hand, and quietly comforted her.

Chu Liuyan did this because he wanted to see how Li Ningluo's pulse was, and after a while, Chu Liuyan had already realized that Li Ningluo, who he had just seen, pushed aside the embroidered stool that flew in front of him was not a temporary fluke, but that this woman had deep internal strength in her body, and she really had unfathomable martial arts.

After Chu Liuyan verified this from Li Ningluo, he was also suspicious of what Li Ningluo had personally said.

With Li Ningluo's martial arts, even a group of soldiers couldn't get close, why could a few stragglers scare Li Ningluo so much that he didn't dare to move. According to Chu Liuyan's inference, not to mention that three or five stragglers could not pose any threat to Li Ningluo, even if a pair of Han troops under the command of Han King Chen Youliang came that day, I am afraid that within half an hour, Li Ningluo could beat them to the ground one by one, and he didn't even have the strength to move.

Thinking of this in her heart, Chu Liuyan suddenly felt that Li Ningluo was still suspicious, and it was definitely not that she was powerless as she said.

It seems to be weak, but it is actually strong.

Why did Li Ningluo act like this, deliberately concealing his skills, what was his intention.

Chu Liuyan's heart was full of doubts, and he was a little stunned.

Ma Xiuying saw the opportunity very much, when she saw Chu Liuyan's appearance, she knew that there must be something in her heart, I am afraid it is still related to Li Ningluo's true identity, if Chu Liuyan is allowed to think about it, if it arouses Li Ningluo's suspicion, it will be terrible.

Therefore, Ma Xiuying took a step forward, stepped in front of Chu Liuyan and Li Ningluo, reached out and grabbed Li Ningluo's hand in Chu Liuyan's hand, and said with a strange smile to Chu Liuyan: "Miss Chu, Sister Li originally came to see me, please say hello to me, you are so noisy, don't you want me to make love with Sister Li." ”

As he spoke, he stopped Chu Liuyan behind him, when Chu Liuyan heard this, he suddenly woke up, and he regretted it in his heart, if he showed a flaw on Li Ningluo's side, I am afraid that Li Ningluo would be suspicious of himself in the future, acting more secretively, and it would be more difficult to get the handle of others.

Li Ningluo also said to Ma Xiuying with warmth: "How come, Miss Chu is a good sister of Ningluo, and Mrs. Ma is also a good sister of Ningluo." No matter how light and thick, they are inseparable from each other, how dare the sister snub Sister Ma. ”

Ma Xiu said in an earnest voice: "I know, I know, what else does my sister not know, just say that today is just an occasional minor illness, but my sister works jade toes and comes to see the disease in person." This thought, my sister will also remember the five. ”

Li Ningluo also smiled in agreement, and then frowned and said: "My sister is not feeling well, and I don't know how the sick prisoner is, but my sister knows a few doctors who are proficient in the way of Qihuang, so it is better to let them come over and show my sister how it is." ”

Ma Xiuying hurriedly excused herself and said: "There is no need to be like this, I know this disease in my own heart." This is also an old disease, and the doctor still keeps the prescription, and takes the medicine according to the prescription, as long as he rests quietly for a few days, he will naturally be fine. Don't worry about my sister. ”
