Chapter 007: Flaws
Li Taiwei vaguely remembered that in his previous life, in October of this year, on His Majesty's Autumn Hunting Ground, his eldest cousin Ming Cheng accidentally broke his leg while riding a horse and injured his knee, and since then he has become a waste.
Not only was the original marriage contract withdrawn, but even the hereditary title was taken by the eldest son!
The eldest aunt was blinded by crying because of this, and her body completely collapsed. Later, her mother Showa died, and her eldest aunt held on for more than a year, but she also died of depression, and her eldest cousin's life in Fenyang Wangfu was even more difficult......
Later, I heard that it was her grandmother who begged herself to come to His Majesty, so she received grace and took Ming Cheng back to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to recuperate from her injuries.
Until she came back from Xiliang, the eldest cousin seemed to be a different person......
Mrs. Li sighed slightly.
In this life, she must plan in advance and smooth out all these bad things inside and out.
Merely......
It's not the time to worry about her aunt right now, she, Cousin Xue, is really a hidden danger!
Counting the days, in the previous life, it was this Xue who climbed into her father's bed before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and only then did she get her mother out of anger!
Mrs. Li's heart moved slightly.
The top priority at the moment is to get rid of the scourge of the Xue family, perhaps...... In this life, the number of lives will be different......
"Go and ask someone to keep an eye on Cousin Xue, find out where she has been this afternoon, and then go to the old lady to hear if there is any news."
Nian Xia was a little uneasy in her heart, and asked hesitantly:
"Girl, do you want to talk to Madame first? It's not been a day or two since the cousin moved into the house, and she's the old lady's guest again......"
"What kind of guest is she?"
Mrs. Li's tone cooled down,
"An old girl who is held in her hands still wants to compare with my mother, and dares to covet my father, it is simply delusional!"
This Xue family is just a distant niece of Old Madam Li's mother's family, why she was invited to live in the mansion for a long time, everyone knows it.
It's just that her mother's stomach hasn't moved for a long time, and Mrs. Li has only one son, Li Sheng, who is the son of Li Sheng, who likes the second room again.
Showa has a noble status, is harmonious with Li Sheng's husband and wife, and has a very good relationship, Mrs. Li is not good at tearing her face and asking Li Sheng to marry the side room. I had no choice but to find my niece Xue Suqin to enter the house, wanting to find an opportunity to quietly include the Xue family into Li Sheng's room and spread the branches for the Li family's room.
Even everyone can see this, how can her mother Showa not know?
She just felt guilty about her husband, so she had to bear it.
Mrs. Li has been sinking for a lifetime, how can she not understand her mother's current state of mind.
Thinking of her mother's sins in her previous life, her eyes immediately set off a solemnity. The bloody rain and bloody wind that I had experienced step by step in my previous life, the light of swords and swords, turned into boundless anger at this time, making people dare not look directly.
Nian Xia looked at Li Taiwei in a trance, and always felt that the county lord was back this time...... It's a little different.
Huichun twisted the veil, his eyes trembled, and he hurriedly hid it.
"Cousin Xue...... What did my father say? ”
Nian Xia slapped a fan for Li Taiwei, and was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and said:
"Xiangye...... Xiangye didn't want to......"
"After the county lord left, I heard that Xiangye and the old lady had a few private disputes...... But the old lady is iron-hearted this time......"
Nian Xia sighed.
Li Taiwei was a little surprised in her heart.
In her previous life, she grew up under the protection of her parents, and her temperament was innocent and delicate. There were some things in the mansion that were deliberately hidden from her, so she didn't pay special attention to the Xue family.
It wasn't until she came back from Xiliang this trip that the long room had problems one after another.
In her previous life, she watched Xue being carried into the door, and watched her mother fall ill, so she only naturally blamed all these faults on her father.
But she didn't know that her father was Xue Suqin, and she had several disputes with her grandmother......
So in his previous life, why could he acquiesce to Xue's climb into his bed?
Mrs. Li covered the worry in her eyes slightly, pinched the lid of the cup, and asked with a sideways face:
"Who does Cousin Xue usually deal with in private? What is the temperament? Who else did she bring into the house? ”
Nian Xia was slightly sluggish, as if he didn't expect Li Taiwei to ask this question, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"This ...... The slave maid didn't know, but there was a maid named Biyun next to Miss Xue, and I heard that she was the son of the Xue family, and she had met with the slave and maid a few times. ”
"Miss Xue has lived in Hua'an Hall since she entered the house, and she often serves in front of the old lady, but she rarely comes to our main house. The slave only heard that the old lady praised her for her demure temperament, and the slave didn't know the rest......"
Mrs. Li nodded slightly.
Since this Xue family has the intention of climbing the high branches, she must make enough face in front of her grandmother. She is a girl who has not left the cabinet, and she has to stay in Hua'an Hall to serve from time to time, so it is always inconvenient to enter and leave the mansion without permission.
Mrs. Li pondered carefully with calm eyes, if her father really didn't have this kind of thought about the Xue family, then how did Xue Suqin succeed in climbing to the position of her aunt in her previous life?
"Pick two reliable ones, let people keep an eye on them, especially these days, don't let her get close to the main room!"
When Huichun heard this, he was stunned, and the force of pressing on Li Taiwei's eyes through the handkerchief became a little heavier.
Mrs. Li hissed slightly and frowned.
Huichun was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said:
"The slave missed! Ask the county lord to atone for his sins! ”
Nian Xia was startled, lost the fan in his hand, and hurriedly stepped forward to carefully check Li Taiwei's face to confirm that there were no scars on his face, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and reprimanded with a face:
"Have you lost your soul these days? If you accidentally hurt the county lord, how do you want to explain to your wife! ”
Huichun's frightened face turned pale, and he didn't dare to make a sound cowardly, so he hurriedly leaned over and kowtowed to Li Taiwei.
Mrs. Li looked in the mirror, and her face was not tight.
When he lowered his eyes, his gaze inadvertently fell on a silver silk butterfly hairpin on Huichun's head.
The hairpin was small and delicate, and it was not eye-catching when it was hidden in the hair, but Li Taiwei still recognized it at a glance.
"This hairpin was rewarded by the second uncle?"
Huichun was stunned for a moment, clutched the handkerchief and said:
"Yes...... It was the slave maid who embroidered a sachet for the four girls, and the second lady saw that it was still eye-catching, so she rewarded the slave maid ......"
Mrs. Li bowed slightly.
This hairpin is the Lantern Festival at the beginning of the year, and it was appreciated in the palace, and it was not a valuable thing, just for the ladies to make a fresh fun.
When she first arrived at the house, her mother asked her and her fourth sister Li Yao to pick the ones they liked first, and the rest would be taken care of by the second aunt who was in charge of the feed. These hairpins and silk flowers are usually used to reward the powerful people.
This butterfly hairpin was quite liked by Li Yao at the time, but unfortunately there was a scratch in the corner, which made Li Yao very regretful, so Li Taiwei left an impression.
Huichun's embroidery is the best among the maidservants, and it is not unusual for the second aunt to reward her with only hairpins.
"County lord, the second master and they have just come back, and the lady called the slave to ask the county lord, would you like to go over and eat?"
The maidservant came in with the curtain open, interrupting Mrs. Li's thoughts.
Today, the old lady was sad and had no appetite, and the second room went back to Yongping Bofu Province before returning, and dinner was placed in the Yunshui House in the main room.
Unexpectedly, the second aunt and the others came back early, Mrs. Li thought slightly, most likely she heard about the fight between her and Lu Xiao......
Go!
Why not?
Li Taiwei was surprised in her heart, and turned her face to the bronze mirror to take a closer look......
Get!
Li Pu's mouth inevitably had to be blocked again......
