The teacup in Xiao Kun's hand rested on the long table, and his voice was neither light nor heavy, just interrupting Xiao Yuruo's words.

"Yuruo, sit down." Xiao Kun tightened his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Jiu Lang is the son of the Xiao clan in Yunling, the established young master of the Xiao family, he is now fifteen years old, and it is natural for him to try to take over the clan affairs." ”

Xiao Kun pondered for a moment, and said: "Even if there is no change this time, I also plan to do so. ”

"Father, he's just a child, and he's so ......"

Xiao Yuzhi, who closed his eyes and recuperated, slowly opened his eyes and said slowly: "The second uncle is reasonable. ”

Xiao Kun looked at Xiao Yuzhi with some surprise, his eyes were unpredictable.

Xiao Yuruo was not as calm as Xiao Kun, and glared at Xiao Yuzhi incredulously: "Second brother, you ......"

Xiao Yuzhi coughed, cleared his throat, and said hesitantly: "You can't just look at the floating watch in everything. ”

Perhaps, they had neglected this silent and non-fighting child too much in the past, and this child was not quite the same as their old impression.

"I suspect ......" Halfway through his words, Xiao Yuzhi suddenly glanced at the subordinates who were still serving in the hall.

Xiao Kun immediately spoke out and withdrew all his subordinates.

Xiao Yuzhi knew it, it seemed that the second uncle had the same idea as him, and in Xiao Yuruo's urging eyes, he lowered his voice a little, and said slowly: "I suspect that Liuniang's child ...... Didn't die. ”

"What?" Xiao Yuruo's voice rose sharply.

A cup smashed towards him from Xiao Kun's direction, shattering at his feet.

Xiao Yuruo reacted suddenly, covered his lips, and couldn't help but say in a dumb voice: "How is this possible?" We all watched him carry the dead baby to Lin Kite, if the child is not dead, then how can Lin Kite be willing to give up? ”

Xiao Kun looked at him thoughtfully: "The doctor and Wen Po you arranged were all tied up by Jiulang, so who delivered Liuniang?" Didn't you say that Liuniang had a difficult birth, and the situation was very dangerous at that time? ”

"This ......" Xiao Yuruo's expression was sluggish, and his eyes widened and blinked and blinked.

Yes, who treated Liuniang for the delivery? and the daughter-in-law of the Qin Er family.

The three people in the room, you look at me, I look at you, fell into an eerie silence.

Until a knock on the door broke the silence.

"Uncle and grandfather, Qing Yan has something to say."

As Xiao Qingyan pushed the door in, the three people in the hall were stunned.

Xiao Kun looked at the seven or eight slaves and servants behind him who were tied up and gagged with their mouths gagged: "Jiulang, what are you doing?" ”

"Hmm! Uh-huh, hmm! One of them struggled to ask Xiao Yuruo for help.

Xiao Yuruo couldn't name several other subordinates, but he was very familiar with this person, it was his personal attendant Liu Ping.

"Liu Ping? What's going on? Kuro, what are you going to do again? ”

The door to the hall was shut, and more than a dozen guards from the North Courtyard were firmly guarding the door.

Xiao Qingyan behaved modestly and saluted respectfully, and then said calmly: "Uncle and grandfather, Qingyan has ordered someone to investigate carefully, these people are all spies who deliberately infiltrated my Xiao family, just this morning when Lin Yuan came to the door, the guards of the North Courtyard found that these people tried to take advantage of the chaos in the front yard and sneak into the North Courtyard, as if they were looking for something, so they immediately took them down." ”

Before Xiao Kun could speak, Xiao Yuruo said unhappily: "What about Liu Ping?" He was always with me. ”

Xiao Qingyan turned sideways slightly, his phoenix eyes looked directly at him, calm and calm: "He really didn't sneak into the North Courtyard, because he was busy passing the news of the Xiao family's inner courtyard to Lin Yuan at that time. ”

"Hmm, hmm." Liu Ping shouted, realizing that no one could understand what he was saying, so he shook his head desperately at Xiao Yuruo.

Xiao Yuruo never believed it, because Liu Ping had been with him for a long time and had always been loyal.

"What evidence do you have?" He asked.

Xiao Qingyan's tone was calm: "Has the third uncle ever thought about how Lin Yuan knew that the sixth sister was going to be born prematurely?" ”

Xiao Yuruo was stunned, he thought about it carefully for a while, when Lin Yuan came to the door, he was annoyed that Xiao Qingyan had caused trouble to the Xiao family, so he angrily went to the inner courtyard to find Xiao Qingyan, and then the two went to the front yard together, on the way Xiao Qingyan told him the news of Liuniang's premature birth, and later ......

"At that time, I went to the front yard with my third uncle, and I dealt with Lin Kite, and I vaguely remember that the third uncle seemed to have spoken to my uncle and grandfather at that time."

"That's right, it was at that time that Yu Ruo quietly told me that Liu Niang was going to give birth prematurely...... Xiao Kun said, realizing something, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he shot at Liu Ping, "I understand, at that time, apart from me and Yu Ruo, there was only Steward Qian and you." ”

Xiao Qingyan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, looking at Xiao Yuruo.

At this point, it is already very clear that Steward Qian was very busy after hearing the news, not only to follow Xiao Yuruo's instructions, to find the doctor and Wen Po to give up the small and protect the big, but also to go to Qin Er to do "ideological work" in private, this busy man has never approached Lin Yuan at all.

Only Liu Ping!

Xiao Yuruo suddenly remembered that at that time, he grabbed Liu Ping, originally wanting to ask where Jiulang went, but now that he thinks about it, Liu Ping's reaction at that time was too frightened, and it was obviously a weak heart!

"You dog stuff inside and out!" Xiao Yuruo had nowhere to vent his anger, so he was angry, and went up and kicked Liu Ping down, "I ask myself if I treat you well, why do you collude with outsiders?" ”

Liu Ping no longer struggled, nor did he ask for help "hmm", he suddenly became unusually quiet, and there was even cold disdain in his eyes.

"He is not colluding with outsiders," Xiao Qingyan said, "because he was originally arranged by the eldest princess of Nanyang." ”

Empress Dowager Yang and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess are really worthy of being mothers and daughters, and even these things are surprisingly consistent.

"What......" Xiao Yuruo seemed to be stuck in his throat and couldn't make a sound anymore.

Not only him, but also Xiao Kun and Xiao Yuzhi, who had been silent, were like being poured down with a basin of ice water on their heads at this time, and they were cold all over their bodies, cold to the bone.

The fear from last night had barely dissipated a little, and a new haze was coming over them.

Their Xiao clan has obviously declined, even if there are still clansmen who are officials, they are only minor officials, but why did Empress Dowager Yang and the eldest princess of Nanyang install so many fine works in the Xiao family?

This is clearly not because of the involvement of the Ji family, but because of ...... Deliberately targeting their Xiao family!

Xiao Kun's whole body was propped up on the rosewood wood table at his side, his old wrinkled hand clenched the armrest, he raised his hand and waved weakly: "...... these people for the time being"

He looked at the people who were tied up with a complicated expression, and he really couldn't make up his mind, so he just said, "Escort them down first, it seems." ”

The people in the North Courtyard only obeyed Xiao Qingyan's orders in their hearts.

They didn't show any different colors in front of Xiao Kun and the others, but just caught a glimpse of Xiao Qingyan nodding without a trace, so they all made a respectful gesture and took everyone away from their orders.

After everyone retreated, Xiao Kun couldn't wait to look at Xiao Qingyan: "Jiulang, do you know what these fine works are trying to find?" What does Empress Dowager Yang want to do to our Xiao family? ”
