Chapter 130: Seeking the Skin of the Tiger

There is no need for Zhong Lifu to say this, Situ Xi also understands that drinking hurts his body, Wei Lan is too weak, he follows himself this time, if something goes wrong with drinking too much, he will still be responsible, and then it will be troublesome.

As for Zhong Liwu's loyalty, Situ Xi was noncommittal, even if he was extremely loyal, it was impossible for Zhong Liwu to confess everything.

Since entering this study, Zhong Liwu has been unilaterally asking questions and instructing Situ Xi, Situ Xi actually has some doubts in his heart and wants to ask Zhong Liwu, first of all, Mi's matter, she always feels that something is wrong, but she can't say it.

Mi's matter was too sudden, she was suddenly dismissed by Zhong Li, and suddenly accidentally fell into the water......

He didn't know Zhong Liwu's attitude towards the Mi family, so he didn't know if he was suitable to ask him, and after thinking for a while, Situ Xi couldn't help but speak.

"Father-in-law, about the Mi ......"

"Yes, you have some crossroads with her...... You are also half of her junior, remember to pay a stick of incense later. ”

Zhong Liwu held the scroll in one hand, tilted his head and read the words on it intently, and when he heard Situ Xi mention Mi, he didn't raise his head, as if he was saying something inconsequential, and casually ordered Situ Xi.

"Father-in-law...... Did Mi really accidentally fall into the water? ”

This is what makes Situ Xi most puzzled, I heard that the Mi family is from the family of the official eunuch, although it is not the family of Xuan'an, but these years with the power of Zhong Lifu should not be very bad, although the Mi family was retired this time, but in any case, the people who are in love with the Mi family should also send someone to pick her up.

Even if the Mi family didn't do this, Zhong Liwu would have sent someone to give her a ride, whether it was for love or just to do superficial work.

And Mi herself should have some money, and it shouldn't be a problem to ask someone to escort her, she must have someone by her side to take care of her trip, how could she easily die by falling into the water?

Unless it was Mi himself who had the will to die......

"These are not things you should care about, think more about your situation."

Huai Minggong was not disgusted by Situ Xi's question, he continued to flip through the book, and said to Situ Xi with joy or anger.

Situ Xi pondered for a moment, then shook his head, too, since this matter has nothing to do with him, then why should he bother.

At first, he was only worried that Mi's death was related to her head injury, after all, this injury had something to do with him, and now it was enough to know that it had nothing to do with it.

In the end, there are too many things he has encountered in recent days, which makes his nerves a little sensitive, and now it is easy to think deeply about everything, which is sometimes not a good thing.

Simpler is easier.

"Don't think about it, she did something bad for the house a few days ago......"

Zhong Liwu finished reading the contents of the current page, he reached out and turned the page, and at the same time glanced at it casually, and saw that Situ Xi was still sitting on the futon in a daze, and suddenly whispered to him such a sentence.

"She left Xuan'an four days ago, and unfortunately fell into the water the day before yesterday, there really won't be such a coincidence......

As soon as these words came out, Situ Xi's body sitting at the foot of the steps suddenly tightened, is this really the case?

He raised his eyes again to look at Zhong Liwu, who was sitting cross-legged on the main seat, reading a book at ease, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Mi Shi, the most beloved concubine of Duke Huaiming, Situ Xi suddenly felt that this statement was a little funny.

Looking around the Heart Seeking Pavilion, he was sitting beside Zhong Liwu at the moment, and now that he thought about it, it was like seeking skin with a tiger.

The middle-aged man in front of him who looks quite elegant, his somewhat rudeness and his behavior of burying his head in the study all day long make it easy for people to forget his identity and past experience.

Huai Ming Gong, a peerless general with thousands of rumors of bravery, this is one of the most ruthless people in the entire Chu State.

"Let's get out." The study was a little too quiet, and it wasn't until Huai Ming Gong closed the book and waved his hand at Situ Xi that Situ Xi came back to his senses.

"The son-in-law retired." Without any extra words, Situ Xi left with his sword.

……

Situ Xi and his wife had lunch at the Huaiming Mansion, and they helped in the mansion until the evening.

After sending Zhong Lixuan home, Situ Xi went to his own Situ Mansion again.

Situ Mansion is located in the center of the imperial city, which extends in all directions and is relatively prosperous.

The courtyard by the water can only be called a mansion, and this Situ Mansion is a real mansion, and its specifications seem to be comparable to the Huaiming Mansion, and the courtesy that Emperor Chu initially prepared for Situ Xi is still good.

This is not the first time Situ Xi has been here, he has been staying at the house until the evening and then returning to the mansion every day.

Hua Yaoying lives in the guest room of the house these days, and she is responsible for teaching Wen Qi'er to practice the piano.

Wen Wei'er already knows how to play the piano, but her piano skills are far less superb than Hua Shaoying, the two get along quite well during this time, Wen Qi'er is quite polite to others, she seems to be a little willful only when communicating with Situ Xi.

Situ Xi is now Wen Yu'er's nominal master, and he says it nominally because Situ Xi has not taught him anything so far.

Situ Xi worshipped Bian Lao as a teacher before, whenever Bian Lao was free, he would come to this house to teach Situ Xi some basic medical knowledge, Situ Xi would sometimes share some ideas of later generations with Bian Lao, and both sides would gain something when the two communicated, so in the past few days, the relationship between the two has improved a lot.

"Your Highness."

When Situ Xi entered the mansion, many people met him on the way, and the maids all stepped back and saluted him.

The housekeeper's surname is Meng, who is about fifty years old, and he came to see Situ Xi as soon as he entered the mansion.

Most of the people in this mansion were gifted by the Emperor of Chu, and some of them came from Zhong Li's house, which Zhong Liyi found for him.

Situ Xi's reluctance to live here is also due to this reason, these people cannot go back, and it is extremely uncomfortable to live under their visits every day.

After a few brief words with Steward Meng, Situ Xi asked him to go about his own affairs, and he walked to the side courtyard alone.

"Master? Why did you come here so late today? ”

"Childe."

As soon as he came in, Situ Xi saw Wen Qi'er eating fruit in the courtyard, she was sitting next to Hua Shaoying, the two were laughing and talking, and when Situ Xi came in, both of them stood up and greeted him.

"I should ask you this, it's already unitary time, if you don't go back, I'm afraid that Wen Lao will be worried and anxious for you."

"No, grandpa knows that I am in your house, and he won't care about me even if I spend the night here." Wen Qi'er said indifferently.

Situ Xi glanced at him, this is nonsense, if she really spends the night outside, it is estimated that Wen Lao will come to look for her immediately.

"What is the master busy with today, could it be that there is something interesting, he didn't bring me ...... last time the Jade Wine House opened."

Wen Qi'er approached Situ Xi, and Situ Xi pressed her forehead with his fingers.

"I went back to the Guogong Mansion, I had some family affairs, and I also received a sword by the way." Situ Xi patted the saber on his waist.

"Sword?" Wen Qi'er glanced at the saber, and suddenly lost interest, she was not very interested in weapons and the like.

And Hua Shaoying was attracted by the sword, "Childe, I don't know if this sword has a sword name?" ”
