"Mother Zhou, your Hu Yulou is really lively tonight."

Princess Ankang joked with a smile.

Princess Yuan'an on the side was also a little surprised to see that her imperial sister could deal with this kind of person so easily.

She always thought that Princess Ankang was a more introverted character, but she didn't expect to be able to have such a relaxed conversation with strangers.

But personality is a big thing to do with the body.

The former Princess Ankang was weak and powerless all day long, so she naturally didn't have the energy to talk to people much.

But now Princess Ankang is healthy and energetic, so she is unconsciously lively and cheerful.

When Mother Zhou heard Princess Ankang say this, she immediately smiled bitterly and lowered her body, making the scene in front of Li Xuan's eyes even more beautiful.

"Disturb the two young ladies, the slave family is really dead."

Mother Zhou's tone was humble to the extreme.

But from the perspective of serving customers, she has done an impeccable job.

It's just that Li Xuan is happy to see it, but the two princesses are extremely dissatisfied.

Princess Yuan'an snorted coldly, turned her head away, and stopped looking at Mother Zhou.

Princess Ankang couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

"That's too big......"

She scolded in her heart, but she couldn't help but glance down at her chest, her mouth was deflated, and she felt unhappy.

But the mood only lasted for a moment.

Princess Ankang knew that she was still young and had a promising future, so she didn't have to be so depressed now.

She then raised her head and said, "Mother Zhou doesn't have to be too polite, get up and sit down and talk, it just so happens that we also have something we want to ask you." ”

Although it is an ordinary sentence, Zhou's mother is still keenly aware that the identity of the other party may not be simple.

Appearance, tone, bearing, clothing, plus the majestic guards beside him, are obviously not ordinary people.

Zhou's mother came to them for a reason.

She inquired with her own buddies clearly, and the fire on the fourth floor was extinguished by the two guards in front of her.

And the means of extinguishing the fire are appalling, I heard that only one palm appeared, and a water dragon appeared, directly dispersing the fire.

A group of them didn't have much to do with the fire, which was solved in an instant.

Zhou's mother runs Hu Yulou in Flower Street, and she has a lot of knowledge.

People who can do this level can be regarded as a rare master in the capital.

And the person who can use this kind of master as a guard is naturally even more extraordinary.

Zhou's mother is now desperate.

Not to mention the explosion on the stage of their house before, Ayimu disappeared, and Hou San was seriously injured.

In this matter, Ayimu's escape will bring her an unimaginable debt burden, and Hou San was affected, and she had to give an explanation to the Hou family.

Now that it's okay, Hou San was directly burned to black charcoal, and the people of the Hou family can't find out the reason, so they will definitely vent their anger on her.

At that time, she won't even have a chance to rebuild her old business.

She couldn't imagine what the Hou family would do to her.

So Zhou's mother found out that these two young ladies were extraordinary, and immediately posted them to see if she could find a chance to break the game.

"Thank you for the magnanimity of the two young ladies, the slave family is grateful!"

Zhou's mother squeezed out two tears at the right time, and seemed to be overjoyed at their forgiveness.

Princess Ankang was stunned, but she didn't say anything, just pointed to the chair in front of them and asked Mother Zhou to sit down.

After Zhou's mother sat down, Chu Chu wiped her tears pitifully, looking haggard.

"Mother Zhou, it's just a fire, why are you so scared?"

Princess Ankang knew that Hou San was dead, but she still asked deliberately.

"Alas, the two young ladies don't know anything."

The expression on Zhou's mother's face was even more sad.

"The previous fire was so good that it didn't die, but it burned the third young master of the Hou family, Hou Chisi."

"Oh, the guy who was hit by last night's stage explosion."

"There was an accident on the stage of my house, and I had to be responsible for treating others, but it didn't work out, I invited a doctor, and I took a good look at him, but he was burned to death by a fire at night."

"The life of this Hou Gongzi is too bitter!"

Listening to Zhou's mother's words, Li Xuan was amused.

If it weren't for the fact that he endured the humiliation last night, hid under someone's skirt, and listened to the conversation of those flower street mothers completely, I don't know how kind and responsible Zhou's mother is.

Even this Hou San was forced by other mothers to take care of Hu Yulou.

Otherwise, Hou San would probably have to lie down on the flower street by now.

Although Hou San was burned to death after being moved to Hu Yulou to take care of him, it was better than lying on the street all the time.

Of course, Hou San may not think so.

Princess Ankang listened to Li Xuan's detailed experience before, and naturally it was impossible to believe Zhou's mother's nonsense, but she didn't have a low EQ enough to expose others in person, she just smiled and continued to ask her curious questions:

"Mother Zhou, I heard that this fire tonight is not simple, it is not only a weird green fire, but also water that cannot be extinguished."

"Some people say that this is a ghost fire, and it is a female ghost on the flower street who comes to ask for her life."

"Mother Zhou, are you saying this is true or false?"

Zhou's mother's expression immediately became unnatural.

"Miss, don't scare me, how can I be haunted in this Hu Yu Building?"

"Those ghost stories are all jokes of the guests after drinking, and they can't be true."

Seeing Zhou's mother's reaction, Li Xuan's eyes narrowed.

From the tone and expression, Zhou's mother's reaction was fine.

But Li Xuan clearly saw that before Zhou's mother answered, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Although she quickly returned to normal, Li Xuan knew that Zhou's mother was lying.

"Is this flower street really haunted?"

Li Xuan thought to himself, he didn't think at all that there would be ghosts in this world.

"No, it's too early to say whether it's a human or a ghost."

Before seeing it with his own eyes or seeing the relevant records in the official records, Li Xuan still decided to remain skeptical.

Princess Ankang saw that Mother Zhou avoided talking about ghosts, and she didn't force it, but turned her head to inquire about Hou San.

In this regard, Zhou's mother knew everything, and even took the initiative to mention the details that Princess Ankang did not ask.

In general, Hou San is a typical gentleman, who brings his fox friends and dog friends to Hu Yulou every day to have fun.

Compared with the time he spent at home, Hou San spent more time in Hu Yulou.

And they played wildly, hurting many girls in their Hu Yulou.

If it weren't for Hou San's generosity in giving money, Zhou's mother would not be willing to receive such a guest.

Zhou's mother complained of bitterness, and Princess Ankang listened quietly on the side.

"Oh, the slave family is talking and talking, and it's not over, but you can't delay the rest of the two young ladies."

"I have already sent someone to clean up the room on the third floor, and I have invited the two young ladies to come over and rest."

"Something happened on the fourth floor, so it's better not to continue sleeping there."

"There are a lot of things in the small shop tonight, and there is a lot of trouble, and the expenses of the two young ladies will be counted on the slave family's head, so it will be regarded as making amends for the two of them, and please be sure to give the slave family a chance to make amends."

Zhou's mother said, got up and saluted, this time she didn't sell her capital again.

Through a previous temptation, she already knew that the two young ladies in front of her were not interested in her.

Princess Ankang turned her head to look at Princess Yuan'an on the side and asked her, "Sister, are you still sleepy?" ”

"I'm not sleepy, I'm not sleepy for a long time."

Princess Yuan'an muttered dissatisfiedly.

Mother Zhou apologized to Princess Yuan'an again and again, but Princess Yuan'an just turned her head and didn't pay much attention to it.

For those who have caused trouble to themselves, Princess Yuan'an will not have a good face.

And she is also a little unaccustomed to Zhou's mother, she shows off her career line when she has nothing to do, and she doesn't know who to show it.

This made Princess Yuan'an very dissatisfied, so she didn't even have a good attitude towards Zhou's mother.

"I don't feel sleepy anymore, if Mother Zhou is fine, you might as well talk to us."

"It's the first time I've come back to Flower Street, and we're very curious about things here."

When Zhou's mother heard that Princess Ankang was still willing to talk to her, she immediately smiled.

Although the other lady was not angry with her, it was good if there was one more young lady waiting to see her.

And Zhou's mother also knows very well that Princess Yuan'an is out of a girl's little mood, and it is not a big problem.

Sure enough, Mother Zhou praised and pasted it silently several times, and Princess Yuan'an's little face gradually added a lot of smiles.

In the past, Princess Yuan'an was surrounded by cautious eunuchs and palace maids, which was completely different from Zhou's mother's path.

Mother Zhou can make a name for herself on the flower street, these are basic businesses, and it is not easy to deal with the relatively simple Princess Yuan'an.

After a while, the three women chatted enthusiastically.

Most of Zhou's mother told some interesting stories on the flower street to share with the two young ladies.

She also quickly figured out the preferences of the two princesses, and immediately began to do what they liked one after another.

At the beginning, Princess Ankang also wanted to get some words out of Zhou's mother's mouth to solve her curious questions.

But when she came back to her senses, the topic had already been guided by Zhou's mother.

Looking out the window again, it was already white, and it was about to dawn.

"Ouch, it's been this hour before you know it."

Zhou's mother heard a noise gradually coming from the street.

These are the hardworking people who are preparing for a new day.

In the past, it was time for them to catch up on sleep, but because of last night's fire, many girls were still awake and helplessly worked overtime.

"The two young ladies are hungry, the slave family asked people to buy some early on Dongshi Street and come back, our breakfast here is also a must, you must try it when you come."

Zhou's mother said, and recruited a guy from Hu Yulou and asked him to go to the street to buy a few copies of all kinds of breakfast.

Mother Zhou is very enthusiastic about the two princesses, but she will not make people feel uncomfortable, she will only think that they are in love.

That's where she excels.

Originally, the three of them were happily talking, but after Zhou's mother sent her guys to buy breakfast, she suddenly sighed for no reason.

Princess Yuan'an immediately quipped: "Mother Zhou, isn't she worried about the breakfast money?" ”

Zhou's mother immediately had a pretty face, her eyes flew, and she was full of charm.

Then she sneered and continued:

"Miss doesn't want to look down on the slave family, although my business in Hu Yulou is not big, I can afford to have two breakfasts."

Then Zhou's mother's smile gradually faded, revealing a little lonely.

"It's just that in a few days, this Hu Yulou will cease to exist, and the slave family can't help but feel sad, but it has disturbed the interest of the two young ladies."

When Princess Yuan'an heard this, she immediately asked a little strangely: "I saw that your business here was very good last night, why is it going to close?" ”

Li Xuan sneered in his heart, Zhou's mother paved the way for a long time, and finally got into the topic.

"The two young ladies don't know that the Hou Gongzi who burned to death here last night is the son of the current servant of the ministry."

"Now that he is dead here, he has to settle accounts with the slave family."

"When the time comes, I'm afraid that the slave family will never have the opportunity to talk to the two young ladies like now."

Zhou's mother was so sad that she wanted to cry.

But both princesses were very calm.

Zhou's mother wiped her tears, but she was confused in her heart.

"Huh?"

"Why aren't they surprised at all, and I've invited them to breakfast, aren't they sad for me at all?"

Princess Yuan'an held back for a long time, and finally said without being salty:

"Oh, I see."

Mother Zhou was so angry that she scolded in her heart: "Oh, you big-headed ghost, is it true that the conversation we had just now was fake?" Can you be a little sympathetic? ”

"The female doll is very beautiful, how can she be as ruthless as those men."

Mother Zhou saw that Princess Yuan'an was unreliable, and couldn't help but turn her hope to Princess Ankang.

After all, from the very beginning, Princess Ankang was much easier to talk than Princess Yuan'an.

As a result, Mother Zhou saw that Princess Ankang just looked at her with a smile, and she didn't even say oh, which was worse than Princess Yuan'an.

"I'm crying so sadly, how can she still laugh?"

Mother Zhou's tears suddenly became much hotter, and she cried even more seriously.

Princess Ankang laughed heartlessly for a while, and only then did she comfort her with hindsight, but it was a little perfunctory.

"Mother Zhou, don't be too sad, people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn and change."

Zhou's mother cried even louder on the spot, thinking: "I'm not dead yet, the stinky girl will curse me to death!" ”

But the next moment, she wanted to understand that Princess Ankang was talking about Hou San, so angry that she immediately stood up and hurriedly left a sentence:

"The slave family is out of shape."

Mother Zhou knew that these two young ladies were unreliable, so she chose to give up directly.

I thought it was two official ladies who were beautiful and kind-hearted, and they might be able to get some shelter after winning favor, but they didn't expect to be two chicks who just watched fun.

Zhou's mother consciously walked away, walked to no one to wipe away her tears, and scolded a few bad words.

Looking at the back of Zhou's mother crying and leaving, Princess Yuan'an asked puzzledly:

"It's just a mere marquis, and the servant of the ministry is not a big official, why is she crying?"

Princess Ankang grinned and said casually:

"I guess I didn't sleep last night."

When Princess Ankang noticed that Zhou's mother was leading the topic, she became vigilant, and when she threw Hou San's question, she knew what she wanted to do.

So there was no such thing as last week's mother.

As for Princess Yuan'an.

Princess Ankang felt that she should also be aware of it, and then pretended to be stupid.

Those of them who live in the palace are naturally sensitive to topics of interest.

It is estimated that Princess Yuan'an also figured out what Zhou's mother wanted to do at the last moment.

is just an old bustard in a green building, how could Princess Yuan'an get involved in their affairs by virtue of a relationship.

Don't look at Princess Yuan'an's words, but the servant of the ministry is not a petty official.

The Ministry of Officials, also known as the Heavenly Officials, is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion, transfer, and awarding of civil officials across the country.

And the six ministries have Shangshu and Shilang as the chief and deputy governors.

Therefore, this official is a powerful official, and he has a pivotal position above the court.

In the past, Princess Ankang didn't know much about the common sense in these courts due to the lack of news.

But as she has read a lot of books in the Thousand Stars Pavilion in the past few months, she has long been aware of such common sense.

Of course, both of them are princesses.

Even if Princess Ankang is not favored now, she will not be afraid of a servant.

But I am not afraid, and there is absolutely no need to get involved in the affairs of an old bustard in a green building to oppose the servant of the ministry.

Seeing that Princess Ankang was carrying it clearly, Li Xuan also obediently lay in Princess Ankang's arms.

When they were talking before, Li Xuan stared at Zhou's mother tightly, just to see what she was hiding.

Sure enough, under his scorching gaze, even with a lot of cover-ups, Zhou's mother's mind was easily seen through by him.

"Hmph, under my fiery eyes, nothing can confuse me."

Li Xuan stared at the direction of Zhou's mother's embarrassed departure, and did not withdraw his gaze for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Princess Ankang angrily pulled up his little ears.

"Ah Xuan, I see that you just watched Mother Zhou very seriously."

"Then let me ask you, what color of clothes is Mother Zhou wearing?"

Li Xuan's pupils immediately shook, and he found that he couldn't remember these details.

"Clothes?"

"Did Mother Zhou get dressed just now?"

"Why can't I remember anything about it?"

"My memories are like they're gone."

"Charming!"

"This must be a very clever trick!"

Li Xuan wanted to defend himself like this, but looking at Princess Ankang's kind smile, he knew that all explanations were pale.

"You little perverted cat, look at how I teach you!"

Li Xuan closed his eyes resignedly, did not resist, and accepted the destruction of Princess Ankang.

Princess Yuan'an on the side looked at it enviously, thinking that it would be good if she could be bullied with her.

……

There was a murder on Flower Street, and it was impossible for the government to be indifferent.

Not to mention, it was the son of the servant of the ministry who died.

Early in the morning, the officials of Wannian County came to Hu Yulou to investigate the scene and collect the body.

Hou San's black body was carried to the county government for an autopsy, and more people from the Hou family came, in front of the officials, took down Zhou's mother, put her under house arrest in the room on the fifth floor, and took over all the affairs of Hu Yulou.

If the government wants to investigate the case, their Hou family will not stay still.

Steward Fan has reawakened, and Ah Biao, who left last night, also brought a thin man with thief eyebrows.

Thinking about it, this is the tooth who sold Ayimu to Hu Yulou.

Princess Ankang and the others sat in the private room, eating a hearty breakfast, watching the lively scene below.

When Zhou's mother was angry in the morning, she forgot to explain to the guy, but the guy who went to buy breakfast stupidly bought all kinds of breakfast and sent it directly to them.

If Zhou's mother knows, I'm afraid I'll be angry again.

Doctor Fang stood downstairs, being interrogated by the officials.

The officials seemed to be familiar with the other doctor, but they were not unkind to him.

After checking and seeing that there was nothing suspicious about him, he went to check on the other customers in the store.

A middle-aged man who looks like a headcatcher, after coming to Hu Yulou, he muttered endlessly to Steward Fan, and he didn't know what he was discussing.

"Sister, do you think they can find out why?"

"I heard from those officials that someone really saw a female ghost on the street last night."

"There were also people who saw the green ghost fire, fluttering on the street, and then swished into Hou San's room, which caused the fire."

Princess Yuan'an said it decently, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

She went downstairs before, and Princess Ankang also said what she was doing, it turned out that she went to inquire about the news.

Compared to the case assigned to them in this month's competition, it is obvious that the case in front of them is more interesting to these two princesses.

"Ghosts?"

Princess Ankang muttered a sentence and said to herself:

"If there is, it would be good."

Her eyes looked a little sad.

Li Xuan raised his head, meowed at Princess Ankang, stood up from her arms, and rubbed her with a loving hug.

"Hehe, it's just talking, Ah Xuan don't worry."

Princess Yuan'an, who was originally happy on the side, was sour when she saw this scene.

This person and cat always sprinkle dog food in front of her, and they don't care about her feelings at all, she can't stand it anymore.

"No, I have to take Bai Xiao with me from tomorrow, wherever I go!"

Princess Yuan'an bit her red lip and pressed her determination.

And at this time, Steward Fan walked outside their private room alone.

He knocked lightly on the open door twice, then bowed respectfully from outside to inside.

"Villain Fan Changming, I am here to thank you for saving your life."

What Steward Fan said should be that the eunuch in Huayi helped them put out the fire before.

Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an overheard Li Xuan talking about what happened before, but they understood what he was talking about.

"Steward Fan, it's better to come in and talk."

Princess Ankang asked Steward Fan to come in.

Steward Fan thanked him again, took a step forward, and stood in the private room.

He did not go on, but stood against the doorway, half-bent over, looking very respectful.

If it weren't for the arrogance he had shown at Doctor Fang last night, Li Xuan would have really thought of him as an honest man.

"Steward Fan doesn't have to be polite, we are also here to save ourselves."

"It's just that I heard this morning that the young master of your mansion has ......"

"Please also mourn and be obedient."

Princess Ankang said.

Steward Fan also turned pale, but still thanked: "Thank you two young ladies." ”

It's just that Princess Yuan'an on the side couldn't bear it a little impatiently, and immediately asked:

"This Steward Fan, I heard that the fire last night was caused by ghosts, but is there such a thing?"

Steward Fan slowly raised his head with a complicated expression.

Li Xuan was also very curious about his answer.

Last night, he and a few other girls from Hu Yulou took care of Hou San, who was injured by the explosion, in the room.

It stands to reason that if it was just a fire, Steward Fan would have absolutely no reason to throw Hou Sanyi in the fire.

But the result was that Hou San was burned to charcoal alone in the fire.

This is also what Li Xuan has always been unable to understand.

He was also very curious about why Steward Fan threw his young master on the bed alone and ran away by himself.

"The two young ladies have a great kindness to Fan, if it weren't for this gentleman who warned that the green fire was poisonous and helped extinguish the flames, I am afraid that I and the other Hou family's family members would be more than lucky."

"Therefore, there is no need to hide the two young ladies from what happened last night."

"To tell you the truth, I did see a female ghost outside the window last night, and there were a few ghost fires around her, and I saw the female ghost pointing at me from afar, and a ghost fire flew towards me slowly."

"That ghost fire went out in the middle of the road, I thought someone was pretending to be a ghost, but when I turned around, I saw that my young master was actually burning."

When Li Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

No wonder Steward Fan didn't take Hou San out of the fire, his feelings were the ignition point.

And listening to Steward Fan's meaning, there are really female ghosts on this flower street.

At this moment, not only the three little ones, but even the most curious Princess Yuan'an on the side couldn't help but swallow and spit in unison.

"There are ghosts."

Thanks to Benbi and Angel Love for their support.

Thank you for your monthly ticket support.

Today is also a two-in-one, and it is more refreshing to write in one breath.

I woke up early in the morning, so I wrote pretty fast today.

I hope I can get up early tomorrow.

Good night everyone, see you tomorrow~
