As soon as Li Shi asked this, the fifth girl became cautious, lowered her voice and said, "Mother, I'm afraid that something big is going to happen to the Zhenguo family." ”

Li also knew that this matter was not trivial. She was sure that she had heard the words Lord Chaohua in a panic. But in the past, I didn't see the county lord, but Seventeen Niang was unconscious in Xiao Wu's arms, so there must be a "fork" in it.

If you can say it, it's fine, if you can't say it, then you know the secret of other people's families, and if you meet someone with an impure heart, you will be implicated and cause trouble.

So she had to personally check and support her.

She comforted: "Don't be afraid, with me, no matter what it is, you can say it directly, and I will make decisions for you." ”

The fifth girl was very moved. She smiled and said, "Something happened, so I was waiting there for my mother and big sister to come, and I didn't dare to go with anyone." ”

When the feast bell heard this, he realized that he was really immature. Because she reacted quickly, she was surprised: "It turns out that it's not because the seventeenth girl is unconscious that it's hard to break free of your hand, but because you don't want to leave people's sight?" ”

If my aunt and fifth sister hadn't said this just now, she would not have thought of this.

Then his face turned even paler, "Fifth sister, what happened?" ”

The fifth aunt comforted her first, "It's okay, it shouldn't matter, don't panic first." ”

Then he said to the Li family: "After I separated from you, I took Su Xin and followed the little maid of the Zhenguo Mansion to the side room to go to the toilet." ”

Su Xin is the personal maid of the five girls.

"The mother of the wing also knows, not far from the small garden where we were talking at that time."

Li nodded, "I know there." ”

It's not the first time they've been guests to the Zhenguo Mansion, and they know a little bit about the places where these guests feast.

The fifth girl said: "When I came out of the wing room, I saw Seventeen Niang. She said that she also came to the toilet, but she was not in a hurry, so she pulled me to greet me, and held me for today's clothes to look good and the jewelry was luxurious, I didn't want to talk to her more, so I wanted to leave. ”

"Seventeen Niang was still holding me down, and I explained that my mother and eldest sister were talking to Yanling, and I had to go back and listen. She smiled and said, 'Why don't you take the rockery stone path on the right path, which leads directly to the small garden, and walk the fastest.' I thought at the time that she was deliberately delaying me. ”

Li nodded, "Very likely." ”

Feast Ling also said: "If you speculate with malice, it seems that she deliberately asked the fifth sister to go to the path she said." ”

Fifth girl: "Although I have little calculation, I am not a fool, I would rather be more cautious, where do I dare to take it lightly, naturally I refuse to take the small road, so I categorically refused." The fifth girl let me go, but as I walked, I became afraid, for I was afraid that she would come the other way around—what if she deliberately said that the trail led me to the avenue? ”

Feast Bell: "But, even if she doesn't stop you, you still have to take the avenue......"

But before she could finish speaking, she realized to herself, "No...... No! She also procrastinated! Does she want you to meet someone or something on the avenue at that time? ”

Li Shi looked at the two little ones with satisfaction, with a proud face, and looked at how smart her girls were! She said categorically: "Seventeen Niang must have ghosts." Her temperament...... It really doesn't seem like a well-intentioned one. ”

Fifth girl: "Yes, so I don't dare to leave." I didn't dare to encounter those things, and I didn't dare to go back, so I just pretended that my stomach hurt, took a few steps back, and sat on the rockery without moving. It was then that I heard the cry of a child in the path, like the sound of drowning. ”

At that time, I couldn't take care of much, so I took the two maids and went over there, and I saw that Seventeen Niang rescued the drowning Chaohua County Lord, and there was only one palace maid on the shore, wearing the clothes in the palace, and she was taking over the county lord from Seventeen Niang. But Seventeen Niang herself seems to be entangled in the grass underwater. When the palace maid saw me coming, she didn't care about Seventeen Niang, she only nodded to me, and then rushed away with the county lord in her arms, today's birthday banquet, the maids and daughters-in-law were in front, and there was no one nearby, so I had to call people while personally taking Su Xin and the little maid who led the way down to save her. ”

Li Shi frowned, "Call someone directly next time!" It's up to you to save yourself! It's underwater, she's still entangled in aquatic weeds, no matter how good you are in the water, what if something happens? What's more, there are maids here! ”

scolded again, "A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, you read so much, why did you forget this!" ”

Five girls listened to the training. But she looked up and had something to say.

Only then did Li Shi stop, frown and asked, "I have been worried about you just now, but I forgot about Su Xin, what about her?" What about the little maid who led the way? ”

The fifth girl's expression was already starting to be bad at this time, and she lost her calm just now, and said: "After I rescued Seventeen Niang, they were still by my side at first, and then they were taken away by the mother-in-law of the Zhenguo Mansion who came to find someone first to change their clothes. I was very scared, I felt how strange this matter was, and I didn't dare to leave, so I told them that Seventeen Niang grabbed me and didn't let go, it was not easy to move, if I moved, all the internal organs were moved, that was a big sin, let them go to the doctor as soon as possible. ”

Su Xin didn't dare to leave, but the fifth girl asked her to follow her mother-in-law.

It was only at this time that other ladies and girls came. Only then did the mother-in-law retreat.

Later, in just a moment, Li and the others arrived. ”

The Li family breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and scolded the Zhenguo Mansion angrily, "I have heard that there are many daughters in his family, except for the crown princess, who is upright and virtuous, the others have their own thoughts, and it is estimated that you are involved in the lawsuit with whom Seventeen Niang is involved." ”

Again; "It's right for you to let Su Xin go with you to change your clothes, you're afraid that you will be involved in dirty things, and you will be involved in the lord of Chaohua, so it's good to let the mother-in-law take Su Xin and them over to secretly make a plate, so that they can know that you just happened to save people and were innocently implicated."

Sometimes others don't believe these words, but let others interrogate them, and they believe them.

But to say a thousand things and ten thousand, this is all a lawsuit of the little girls, and it is not a big deal. What she was most afraid of was that something would happen to the county lord of Chaohua. But judging from Xiao Wu's description just now, the county lord of Chaohua should have fallen into the water and was rescued by Seventeen Niang, and Seventeen Niang was saved by Xiao Wu again.

As for the lawsuit of Seventeen Niang, it is none of their business.

She patted the fifth girl's hand, "It doesn't matter, it's good to say this clearly." ”

But she stopped talking abruptly, and she asked, "No...... You're a smart kid...... Don't dare to leave everyone's sight because of this? No, tell me, what's the matter! ”

The fifth girl said guiltily: "Mother, I may really cause trouble for you." When I went into the water to save people, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a man behind the rockery in the place where I saved Seventeen Niang. ”

One sentence shocked Li's back, and he hurriedly asked, "What man?" ”

Fifth girl: "A man who wears a veil during the day, showing only one pair of eyes. ”

This is certainly unusual.

Fifth girl: "He was dressed in a dark coat - I didn't see his body, he was hiding behind a rockery, he should have wanted to poke his head out first, but I saw it at a glance." He had a veil on his face, and his whole body was well hidden, but the lower robe showed a foot, which I saw, and the robe looked like coarse linen. ”

"But for a moment, I didn't see anyone else. I thought I was wrong, it just so happened that Seventeen Niang kept sinking down, and as soon as my mind was scattered, I forgot to call someone to arrest it. ”

"When I got ashore, I had the strength to remember it, but I definitely couldn't catch it, so I was afraid of startling the snake, so I could only pretend that I didn't see it at all, so I allowed Su Xin to change clothes first, and I didn't dare to go while guarding Seventeen Niang. As the mother said, let them take a plate of Su Xin first, and Su Xin didn't see it anyway. ”

Li's heart was really going to be cold at this moment, but he still said, "So what? You are the girl of my Ningguo Mansion, even if you break through the selfish person, you are frightened. ”

The fifth girl breathed a sigh of relief, "Mother, I'm just afraid I'm going to get you into trouble." ”

She and her mother both knew that it was unbelievable that a man could appear masked in such a birthday banquet and in the backyard in such a daytime.

Feast Ling pondered for a while and understood, she said: "Today, the prince is coming, the princess is coming, and the Zhenguo Mansion will definitely strictly investigate people." But there are still people who come in with masks......"

When you think about it, you will think of the prince. Could this be to kill the prince? And at the beginning, it was Lord Chaohua who fell into the water. The lord of Chaohua is still the daughter of the crown prince.

She took a deep breath, "Auntie, do you want to talk about this matter with the Zhenguo Mansion?" ”

Li shook his head, "Naturally, I want to say." ”

He said to the fifth girl: "You still tell the truth, or only to the Duchess of Zhenguo." ”

The fifth girl nodded. Li Shi hugged her and sighed: "You are not afraid now, but you are afraid when you go back and think about it carefully, how dangerous it is!" Good boy, don't worry, I'll report you when I go back, and don't go out. ”

Feast Bell was horrified by this sentence, "Will anyone come to take revenge on the fifth sister?" ”

Li: "Be careful. ”

After telling the five girls a few more words, he took the two girls out of the house. The maid outside had been waiting, and she was not in a hurry, and when she saw them come out, she said with a smile: "Duchess Ningguo, the fifth girl, Miss Sheng, the crown princess and our lady invite you to come over and have a cup of soothing tea." ”

Li nodded, and the three of them followed the maid to the front. At this time, it was still lively outside, and you could still hear the singing sound of the stage, babbling, beating gongs and drums, so lively.

With the sound of the drums, they circled several rockeries and lake stones, as well as the verandah and water pavilion with carved railings and paintings, and then arrived at the main courtyard. The maid stood at the gate of the courtyard and refused to enter, so Li took two small ones in, and as soon as he entered, he saw the Duchess of Zhenguo standing outside the door in person, and Li hurriedly smiled and said, "How can Madame be so polite." ”

The Duchess of Zhenguo looked grateful, "If it weren't for your family Xixi, Seventeen Niang would be fierce and auspicious, so naturally she would have to pick it up in person." ”

Li Shi said: "Where is it." ”

But he whispered, "But...... The kid was terrified. ”

Duchess Zhenguo's heart sank, "What? ”

Li: "Say it inside, say it inside." ”

Inside the house, the crown princess was sitting in the outer room, and next to her lay the lord of Chaohua.

The little girl was apparently asleep. There was no one else in the room but them. Seeing the Li family and the others coming, the crown princess smiled and whispered: "Madam, don't blame, now I really don't dare to move Chaohua out of my sight." ”

Li Shi expressed his understanding and asked, "Is Seventeen Niang awake?" ”

Duchess Zhenguo: "I haven't woken up yet, the doctor said that it won't be until night." ”

Li sighed, and asked the fifth girl to tell what she saw - of course, she would definitely not say that she would speculate that Seventeen Niang was cheating, but said: "At that time, my stomach hurt, so I rested for a while, and when I heard the cry for help, I hurriedly took the maids over." ”

And he talked about the masked man.

"There are so many people that I don't dare to say it."

The crown princess's hand slowly curled up.
