"Brother, what are you thinking?" Zhong Li couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhong Xiao stunned on the side.

Zhong Xiao came back to his senses and smiled wryly, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking, since my father returned to the court, what you have encountered is too strange, why come back and forth at you." ”

It's okay not to say it, Zhong Xiao said this, which couldn't help but make Zhong Zihong suspicious. Although he has been away from the court and guarding the border all these years, the affairs of the house are all presided over by Lin Yue, and he can only know about many things through letters. But these days, he has seen a very different situation.

"In the future, you should be more careful, and I will let people investigate this matter. There will never be such a thing again, and as for the old nun who deceived the people, for the sake of the father, he threw her into prison and punished her. Zhong Zihong's mind flashed the scene of Zhong Li's assassination not long ago, and he was inevitably afraid, so he couldn't help but comfort.

Zhong Li listened quietly and didn't say a word, just looked at Zhong Zihong, and Zhong Zihong was uncomfortable. And Zhong Xiao on the side also looked at the father in front of him, who he hadn't seen for many years, and floated out a leisurely sentence, "Father, it's better not to send that old nun to prison, after all, what happened to hers ......"

Zhong Zihong raised his hand to stop Zhong Xiao's words, "You're right, this person can't be sent to prison, otherwise there will be a big disaster." But it is not a long-term solution to be placed in the house. ”

"It's better to place her in the Tingxue Pavilion first, firstly, so that she can do things for her mother, and secondly, she will not be babbling nonsense everywhere and recruiting people for the family. Zhong Li, who hadn't spoken for a long time, opened his mouth and said, seeing that Zhong Zihong and Zhong Xiao did not object, he continued, "There is one more thing, I have doubts in my heart, her appearance is too coincidental, and the other is that the Lin family and the concubine in the ancestral hall insisted on seeing the grandmother's unjust soul, which made Li'er very puzzling, how did the grandmother become a wronged soul in the grange. ”

Zhong Xiao squatted down suddenly, was at eye level with Zhong Li, and said eagerly, "Li'er, you said before that after you came back from worshipping your ancestors, you had something to say about your grandmother, could it be that this is it?"

One word stirred up a thousand waves, Zhong Li's words were undoubtedly another blow to Lin Yue, shaking her weight in Zhong Zihong's heart, coupled with Zhong Xiao's unconscious words on the side, Zhong Li's doubts were even more confirmed.

"What!" Zhong Zihong looked at the brother and sister in astonishment, and exclaimed, "Li'er, what is going on? How did you know that your grandmother is still alive?" At this moment, Zhong Zihong had already lost his mind, grabbed Zhong Li's shoulder and kept asking, "How could your grandmother live in the world, the Grange was ...... fire that year" He couldn't help choking up when he said this.

Zhong Li was silent for a long time, "My daughter only learned about this matter for a short time, and my daughter originally thought that her grandmother was buried in the fire." But a few days ago, I learned from Mama Feng that year...... Over the years, the grandmother has not returned home, and the daughter has doubts, so she made her own opinion and secretly visited, which confirmed that the grandmother was in the grange of King Ling's mansion. ”

"Sister, are you sure that your grandmother is at King Ling's?" Zhong Xiao couldn't believe his ears, he only knew that Zhong Li had not been easy to live these years, so that she was so thoughtful at a young age, who would have thought that Zhong Li in front of her had already exceeded what she thought, as for dealing with the Lin family, Zhong Li had already taken a few steps ahead of him, and it could be said that he was doing it step by step.

Zhong Zihong heard that his mother was still alive and was in the grange outside the Lingwang Mansion, so he couldn't wait to take her back to the mansion to live for the rest of his life.

But Zhong Li stopped him, "Father doesn't want to know what has happened all these years, why would grandmother prefer to stay in the Grange incognito than go home?"

"Li'er, what do you mean by this?" Zhong Zihong looked at Zhong Li suspiciously, puzzled.

"Father knows very well, why did he come to ask his daughter what she meant?" Zhong Li smiled faintly, stood up and looked at Tingxue Pavilion, "Grandmother almost died the year she left the house, if it wasn't for the girl who accidentally hit the soup sent from the kitchen, it happened that Princess Ling came to visit with the imperial doctor, and found that there was something wrong in the soup, maybe grandmother would have been poisoned and died unknowingly." ”

Zhong Xiao walked up to Zhong Li and gently patted her on the shoulder as a sign of comfort. looked at the courtyard coldly, "This house has never been calm, and my mother's death is already strange." No, my grandmother was also in danger of being poisoned, and that fire would not be as simple as accidentally walking through the water. ”

At the same time, the secret of Zhongfu has become everyone's talking point, and the indispensable person in all the talking points is Zhong Li. Some elderly people say that Zhong Li is not a human being but a goddess who has been born into the world, and that the whole capital is full of sunshine on the day she was born for a long time; some people say that Zhong Li is not Miss Zhong Fuyan at all, and some people can't tolerate her mother, Zhong Zihong was only ordered to marry her, but the matter is still known, so she was secretly poisoned; some say that she is an ominous person, a disaster star came to the world, killed her biological mother and grandmother, and brought all kinds of disasters to Zhong Fu......

These rumors are getting more and more outrageous, far exceeding some people's expectations, and among the rumors, some people say that Zhong Li and Situ Lin were close in the past, and the two did not shy away from suspicion. However, there are not a few voices of rebuttal, praising her for her benevolence, righteousness, humility, and knowledge, and they even hope that the emperor will marry the prince and her.

Situ Lin looked at the secret letter in his hand, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, "Qu Ming, how many of them do you say are Miss Zhong's handwriting?"

Qu Ming was stunned aside, looking at Situ Lin in disbelief, his whole person was messy, "Master, what do you mean...... This is unreasonable. "Where would he have thought that there are so many rumors and Miss Zhong's own handwriting.

"Qu Ming, let me ask you, how is Miss Zhong different from those princesses and young ladies. ”

"Miss Zhong looks weak, but when she encounters trouble, she is arrogant. And those princesses and young ladies are too pretentious. ”

Situ Lin nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked to the stable, Qu Ming followed by the side, "The prince is going to Zhongfu, do you think we want to do it...... , the princess always talks to you about missing Miss Zhong, and besides, Mr. hurried to Zhongfu, there must be an accident. ”

"Qu Ming, this king thinks that you are a little abnormal this time. Situ Lin retracted the expression on his face, looked at Mo Feng, and before he could reply, he spoke again, "Let's go, go to the Zhong Mansion with this king, it's time for the old lady's belongings to appear." ”

Qu Ming heard Situ Lin say that he was going to Zhongfu, and a rare smile appeared on his face. The master and servant rode their horses one after the other and left the palace, and along the way they detoured to South Street, reined in their horses, and observed the three-story restaurant that was being watched. The ears are all passing by here, stopping to see what is going on, and they are speculating about what kind of shop is going to be opened.

Seeing this scene, Situ Lin couldn't help but feel good. Although, he didn't know what it looked like inside, but Zhong Li covered the entire restaurant, and he couldn't explore everything inside from the outside, which hung everyone's appetite.

"Prince, the little one let those long-tongued women scatter. But I heard that this Miss Zhong was a little ......" He Zhong walked slowly beside Prince Yeyang's carriage and replied in a low voice.

Inside the carriage, Ye Yang had a gloomy face and asked coldly, "Can you find out who reported this?"

He Zhong has followed Ye Yang's side since he was a child, and naturally knows his character, "I have already checked it, and the little one has also been carefully traced, it is an old mother Lin's family slave surnamed Sun, not long ago Zhongfu was attacked, and then somehow her nephew died inexplicably, and then she spread rumors everywhere that Zhongfu's young lady Zhong Li ...... As for the other rumors, they are all false. ”

"Hmph~!" Ye Yang snorted coldly, picked up a corner of the curtain, and glanced at He Zhong, "Go check on the prince of Lingwang and see what he has to do with Miss Yan of the Zhong Mansion." His tone was cold, and his eyes were full of calculation. Withdrawing the hand that lifted the curtain, he unfolded the box on his side, brushed a set of gorgeous clothes and jewelry inside, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Master, now the rumors are so unbearable, do you see if it's ......" He Zhong asked Ye Yang in a low voice.

Ye Yang in the carriage fiddled with the ornaments in his hands with interest, "Let those mothers-in-law withdraw, take care of their tongues, if the matter of this prince is ruined, wait for the whole clan to meet underground." With a smile on his face, the look of the gloomy owl revealed his vicious nature.

"Yes. He Zhong naturally knows what to do to save his life for the time being, and they all say that a companion is like a tiger, but his master is like a poisonous snake lying on the side, he will show his fangs at any time to kill the other party.

In the Xin Xue Courtyard, Zhong Zihong had a gloomy face, drinking tea in the Yanxi room and chatting with Zhong Xiao about the things of the year without saying a word. Bai Li Xuan on the side closed his eyes tightly, and from time to time he said 'evil', expressing his opinion on what their father and son were talking about.

Zhong Li, who returned to the house, looked at the news sent by An Ran, and couldn't help but worry, the rumors were not to be feared, but the remnants of the hidden capital were ready to move, and according to the time, it was more than a month earlier than what she originally knew. Another piece of news is that the crown prince Ye Yang is on his way to Zhongfu, which makes her immediately vigilant, and there will be a demon all of a sudden. If it weren't for the various things that penetrated into the bone marrow in his previous life, where would Zhong Li, who was as calm as Si, be so out of shape.

Zhong Li quickly adjusted her mood, walked out of the inner room wrapped in fox fur, and slowly came to the Yanxi room with a handstove in her hand, she was already weak, and her whole person was wrapped in fox fur, looking more and more delicate, "Father, it is not appropriate for Qingqiu to be in the study." It's better to let An Ran and Xiaofei invite her to Xinxue Courtyard, if she really has a problem, wouldn't it be a surprise to be in the study, and she can't see what her purpose is. It's better to be in Xinxue Courtyard, so that people who have a heart think that it is good to be dark under the lamp. ”
