Chapter 056: Picking

Li Rui's eyes flashed, and he looked at Li Taiwei in surprise:

"Powder shop?"

Zhao was also a little stunned, and said puzzledly:

"The county lord...... Why do you suddenly ask about this? ”

Showa also put down the teacup, leaned over to Li Taiwei's side, and asked:

"You kid, what kind of dumb riddle is this with your eldest brother?"

Mrs. Li retreated from the servants and paused:

"Yesterday, Mrs. Jin's mansion handed over a post to the concierge, saying that Miss Jin invited me to the mansion to enjoy the flowers. When the little girl sent the post, he happened to mention to me that early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a powder shop in the west of the city sent a piece of incense to Cousin Xue. ”

"I thought that although Cousin Xue has been in Beijing for half a year, she rarely goes out of the house, and I haven't heard of any handkerchiefs in Beijing. It's still an unknown little storefront......"

Li Rui's gaze gradually became solemn:

"The third sister is saying...... Is there a problem with this incense? ”

Zhao Shi took a breath, clutched the handkerchief, and said tightly:

"The county lord is about my father-in-law's reputation...... This...... You can't talk nonsense......"

Even Showa was shocked, holding Li Taiwei's hand, and instructed:

"Ah Luan can't come nonsense, this matter is about your second uncle's backyard......"

Mrs. Li raised her expression slightly, and said with a straight face:

"It's about the second uncle and the second uncle, so I told you this ......"

"Cousin Xue just accepted the incense, and the second aunt collapsed that night, but even the imperial doctor couldn't find out the reason! Coincidentally, on the second day, I met my second uncle again......"

Mrs. Li is a big girl who hasn't gone out, it's not good to say it any further, and she looks at Li Rui without saying anything.

"I just think these things are really a coincidence!"

"Cousin Xue was going to be sent back to the Xue family after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but she stayed on the last day...... What's more, the second uncle and the second aunt have a very close relationship, and the second uncle is not a person who doesn't know the importance of it......"

The more Li Rui listened, the more suspicious he felt.

He had privately asked someone that day, and Cousin Xue originally lived in the west wing, and later moved to Beiyuan.

On that day, he said that he went to the west wing to pick up the embroidery shed that had fallen before, and then he met his father...... It just so happened that the Bai family suddenly fell seriously ill that day, and the begonias were all messed up, and the maids in the west wing were temporarily transferred to serve in her mother's house in Nanyuan, which was the end of this ugly thing!

When he talked to his father about this, Li Qin was full of shame, but he insisted that it was all his fault.

But what if there is a problem with the incense? What if all this was really designed by the Xue family? What if his father was also kept in the dark?

Li Rui stood up suddenly, his face pale:

"If this is true...... That Xue ...... Never stay! ”

Zhao grabbed Li Rui's cuffs worriedly, and said in a trembling voice:

"Don't be anxious, husband, there is no evidence for this matter, we can't go to Aunt Xue's room to search for incense......"

"Besides, it's been a long time, this incense is really problematic, I'm afraid that it has already been dealt with, where can we leave evidence to be found?"

"What's more, the Xue family has already replied yesterday that they should leave this family business, and Cousin Xue will be carried into the backyard one day...... After all, she is her father-in-law's concubine, and her husband must not be rash and fall into his mouth! ”

Showa was also a little flustered, and hurriedly persuaded Li Rui to sit down first:

"This matter is just your third sister's words, and she is just guessing out of thin air! Don't take it seriously, it's not too late to find out the origin of this incense! ”

After that, he handed Li Taiwei an angry look, and then persuaded Li Rui:

"This matter can be big or small, you hide the matter in your stomach first, if you don't do a count, it's just that, if it is really found out that something is wrong, you can tell your third uncle as soon as possible......"

"Right now, there is chaos in the Qiutang Courtyard, your mother is sad and doesn't say anything, your father is only afraid that it will not be easy these days, you must not let others know about this, if it is spread, it may cause a lot of trouble!"

"Brother Pu'er is still young, and now you and your nephew and daughter-in-law are supporting you inside and outside the second room, you must not mess with yourself and make people laugh at it......"

Li Rui listened to Showa make a few points, then eased his face, stabilized his mind, and handed Showa a reassuring look.

"Third aunt, I can save it!"

Li Rui arched his hand towards Showa and said:

"My nephew will go and check this shop, and if there is anything wrong with my mother, I hope my aunt will take care of it."

Where should Showa not go down, seeing that Li Rui and his wife came out of the hanging flower door with their front and back feet, Showa straightened his face and looked at Li Taiwei angrily:

"Ah Luan come in with me!"

Showa has always been the most pampered by her, and there are few such cold-faced moments in my impression. Li Taiwei touched her nose, turned around and whispered a few words to Dafu, and then obediently followed Showa into the bedroom.

Tian's mother Hou was outside, she didn't know what was going on, she glanced at Nian Xia, frowned and was about to go in to persuade a few words, but she was driven out by Showa's order.

Mrs. Li closed the door slightly, and she was the only one in the room standing face to face with Showa.

Showa only diagnosed twins today, Li Taiwei naturally didn't dare to be angry with her, hurriedly brought a plate of snacks from the table and put it on the Showa dressing table, poured another cup of tea, stepped forward to support Showa's arm, and said with a shy face:

"A-Niang lie down first, don't frighten your younger siblings."

Where is Showa really angry with her, just afraid that she will get into trouble, he stretched out his finger, pointed at Li Taiwei's head, and reprimanded:

"You——! It's just that I'm spoiled! How can you trust such a big thing? What if this thing gets out! Your grandmother was the first to take you to blame! ”

Mrs. Li helped her mother to lie on the Luohan bed, and put a pillow behind her, then sat on the side of the bed, and said with a light smile:

"This matter is related to the reputation of the second uncle, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will not spread it, and the grandmother will not know about ......it."

"Besides, how does my mother know that I am the one who is telling the truth?"

Showa sat up straight and looked over.

Li Taiwei knew that some things could not be concealed sooner or later, so she told Tian's mother about buying the Xue family's maid Biyun, and also told Showa about Biyun's words that day.

Showa turned pale when he heard this:

"You actually asked Mother Tian to carry me behind my back in these things? What if something goes wrong? How can you get involved in these things from a girl's family! ”

"Mother!"

Mrs. Li said:

"If there is really a problem with this incense, does my mother really think that the Xue family is going to the second uncle?"

Showa was stunned and looked at Li Taiwei in a daze.

"In terms of talent, appearance and power, which of my father is not better than my second uncle? Besides, Cousin Xue was originally chosen by her grandmother for her father, if she can take advantage of the loophole and climb to my father, isn't the current situation of the second aunt what my mother has to bear? ”

"Mother thinks about it, this Cousin Xue can climb the second uncle with this method on the last day, how could she not have the idea of calculating my father?"

Showa opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute half a sentence for a while.

Mrs. Li eased her voice slightly and said:

"My mother's body is not as good as before, and I don't tell my mother about some things, but I am afraid that my mother will hurt her heart......"

"It's appropriate to leave this matter to the eldest brother to investigate now, let's not meddle in the affairs of the second room, and secondly, we can do our part for the second aunt. If it is really the Xue family's trouble, the second uncle can also take advantage of this to make trouble and eradicate this scourge as soon as possible! ”

Showa was in a state of turmoil, holding Li Taiwei's hand, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Her Ah Luan has really grown up......

"Madam, Xiangye sent someone to ask the county lord to take Miss Rong Zhi to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, saying that it was to be a proof."

Tian's mother separated the door from the outside, and said a little worriedly.
