Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2465 Reconciliation 7.0

"Wait!" Xue Ruitian interrupted Wanyan Xi, looked at the shocked expressions of the people around him, and then looked at Wanyan Xi's ashamed look, and reached out to pick his ears, "Excuse me, tell me again, what did you do?"

"Yeah, what did you do?" Dai Yi, who was sitting next to Wanyan Xi, also felt as if he was hallucinating, as if he had heard something extraordinary, but this thing seemed not something he could understand all at once. He reached out and pulled Wanyan Xi's sleeve, "You..."

"Don't doubt your ears. You heard it right. I did give Master Qi something and locked him up with Yelu Nan."

Although Wanyan Xi covered his face to prevent everyone from seeing his expression, his red ears betrayed him, and everyone could still sense his state at the moment.

"You are so young, how come you know all this nonsense?" Dai Yi sighed, "I thought only people like us who come from the market and have seen everything since childhood would understand this."

"You're wrong." Wanyan Xi took his hands away from his face and looked at Dai Yi's red face. He looked at Dai Yi embarrassedly, "In fact, the more powerful the family, the more common this kind of thing is, and the more unbelievable it is."

"Ah? Is that so?" Dai Yi looked at Wanyan Xi in bewilderment, then looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian who had suddenly fallen silent, and then looked at Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu who were pretending not to exist, "Why?"

"After all, there are still many people with ulterior motives in such a large mansion." Wanyan Xi looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and then at Xue Ruitian. "There are not many people in the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion now, but there must have been many in the past, right? There may not be so many people with ulterior motives here at the border, but there must be many in the mansions in the capital." He took a sip of tea and said, "I dare to guess that this is probably the reason why there are not so many maids in the two mansions, right?"

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, and then exchanged glances with Xue Ruitian. Although they didn't say anything, everyone understood what they meant. The fact that there were so few servants in the two mansions was indeed related to this aspect.

"It's not what you think. When we were very young, there were very few maids in our family. It didn't start from our time." Xue Ruitian touched his chin. "It seems that my father, mother, uncle and aunt didn't use maids very often. There were only mother and aunt, and there were two or three palace maids around them. As for the others..." He thought for a while and shook his head gently. "I have never seen them."

"My uncle and Uncle Xue were both very handsome young men when they were young, and many of them wanted to do something to get promoted." Xia Jiu ate a piece of dessert calmly and said, "Especially my uncle, he is completely different from the previous princes-in-law. Generally speaking, if you become a prince-in-law, you have to stay away from the center of power, and it is even more impossible to control military power, but my uncle is not like that. My aunt would rather give up her identity as a princess and marry my uncle. Although it caused a great disturbance in the entire court at that time, my aunt's original intention remained unchanged, and my grandfather also supported it, so..." He took a sip of tea and continued, "In this way, my uncle is an exception, a prince-in-law with military power, a high position and the title of Duke, then who wouldn't be jealous?"

"Really?" Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Haolin curiously, then at Shen Cha, "I've never heard of it." "Don't look at me, I haven't heard of it either." Shen Cha shook her head gently, "But one thing is that their relationship has always been very good, and no one has ever had the opportunity or possibility to destroy their relationship."

"That's for sure." Xia Jiu smiled at Shen Cha, "When my uncle was young, that is, when he had just married my aunt, several maids in the mansion in Beijing were beaten to death. The reason was that they sneaked into my uncle's study and wanted to steal secrets or something. But in fact, it was not the case at all. They did sneak into my uncle's study, but when they entered the study, my uncle was there."

"I see!" Jin Miaomiao nodded. "No wonder Aunt Shen, as the eldest princess, has only a few servants around her. After Aunt Shen passed away, there were no maids in the Duke's Mansion. The Duke and Xiaocha did everything themselves. So this is the reason."

"There are none here, but there are some in the mansions in Xijing City." Shen Cha smiled, "But they are all elderly. If we really need help, we can still find a few people from the palaces or palaces to help." She looked at Xue Ruitian, "It's the same in Brother Xiaotian's mansion. We are not short of hands and feet. We don't need to ask others to do what we can do ourselves. If it really doesn't work, there is still Xiao Linzi to help!"

"Yeah!" Merlin leaned aside and nodded slightly when she saw everyone looking at her. "And the sisters in the Shadow Camp can all help. We really don't need those powerless girls to make things worse." She yawned and looked at Wanyan Xi. "These kinds of tactics are only used by those little girls to fight for a so-called future for themselves, and they are even willing to sacrifice their reputations. But why did you do this to Master Xiao Qi and Master Yelu Nan? To ruin their reputation? Everyone has seen their relationship and knows it well. They don't care much about what they did."

"I didn't know that everyone knew about it before. I just wanted to embarrass them, to see them in trouble, to see them being scolded by adults, but I didn't expect that there was a secret passage in that house that led to another place, so."

"After this farce is over, you're the one who's embarrassed, right?"

"Not really. All the servants in the Prince Regent's Mansion were replaced. It seems that the replaced batch were all imprisoned. No one knows whether they are alive or dead. But that night, Yelu Nanming gave me a warning. He said he knew what happened. If he does something like this again in the future, he will not hide it for me."

"How did you do it?"

"What else can I do? I can only pretend not to understand, talk about other things, and roll on the ground when I get angry." Wanyan Xi sighed, "I can't really admit that I did it, right? Later, Master Xiao Qi also hinted that he knew who plotted against him, and I still could only pretend not to understand." He shrugged helplessly and said, "If it were now, I might not do it. Even if I did it, I would admit it. However, from that time on, Master Xiao Qi and I have some grudges. When I see him, I feel a little guilty, and when he sees me, he is not much better. After all, he is not a grudge who will not take revenge. After this incident, he also tricked me once."
