Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 91
Many things happened one after another in the past few days, Li Sheng's eyes were full of exhaustion, and when he heard this, he frowned.

"You say that Mr. Wenxiu is a fake? How do you say that?"

Li Taiwei said:

"I was a guest at Jin Yushi's mansion the day before yesterday, and I heard Miss Jin Si mentioned that the ancestor of the Jin family happened to be in Lingnan County, and Mr. Wenxiu happened to be from Lingnan as well."

"I heard from Miss Jin Si that there is a custom in Lingnan. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter men, women, old or young, they wear golden osmanthus sachets to drive away evil spirits and avoid pollution. The sachets should not be soiled, even beggars on the roadside are afraid of getting bad luck because of it. In the afternoon, I heard the servant girl in Beiyuan say that Mr. Wenxiu threw the sachet on the ground at will."

"Father, have you ever asked someone to investigate Mr. Wenxiu's background carefully? I'm worried that there is something wrong with this person, and I'm even more afraid that he used Li Wenxiu's name to infiltrate our prime minister's residence."

Li Sheng stared at Li Taiwei for a long time, then quietly said:
"Only with a sachet?"

Mrs. Li nodded slightly.

Li Sheng said:
"A Luan came back from Xiliang this time, and it's even more different."

Li Taiwei's heart trembled, looking at Li Sheng made her feel a little guilty.

"Let's not talk about Li Wenxiu's matter, it's the death of Nanny Qin this morning, Aluan looked very calm, and was even more able to follow the clues to find Hong Zhu."

"There are also the previous rebirth beads"

Li Sheng fixedly looked at Li Taiwei, with sharp eyes and asked:

"We haven't seen each other in just half a year. With such a change, does Aluan have to confess to his father?"

Li Taiwei frowned slightly, knowing in her heart that Li Sheng's shrewdness would detect something one day, but she didn't expect to show her flaws so soon.

She gathered herself together, and was hesitating whether to open her mouth to tell him about the rebirth, when she heard commotion outside.

Li Sheng was startled, and said loudly to the outside:

"What's the noise?"

Hearing the sound, the gatekeeper hurriedly ran to the front hall to check, and came back after a while, saying happily:

"Master Hui, Princess Fenyang is here, and Master Biao"

Li Taiwei was taken aback, it was the eldest aunt and eldest cousin who came?
Li Sheng was also stunned for a moment, and quickly got up to greet him.

Li Taiwei also followed behind, thinking in her heart that in her previous life, when her mother died of illness, only her eldest cousin came to pay respects, then she heard that her eldest aunt was ill and had been recuperating in bed, why did she come in person now?

Suppressing his doubts, Li Taiwei followed his father all the way to the front hall, and sure enough, he saw his eldest aunt Li Shu and his eldest cousin Ming Cheng resting on the grand teacher's chair in the front hall with a sick face.

Seeing that Li Sheng came with Li Taiwei in person, Li Shu showed a long-lost smile on her face, and pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.Mingcheng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, called the third uncle, and greeted Li Taiwei again.

Li Taiwei looked at her aunt and cousin, and was also very happy in her heart. She saluted Li Shu and stood beside her father with a smile.

"Why did my sister come here suddenly? I didn't hear anyone report in advance."

Li Sheng sat next to Li Shu, and couldn't hide his excitement on his face. Seeing Li Shu's expression was very bad, he said worriedly:

"Sister's complexion is so bad, but you got tired on the road?"

While speaking, Li Taiwei looked at the servants carrying the ceremony back and forth in the front hall, watching the servants carefully lift a red coral screen with sharp eyes, doubts appeared in his eyes.

This coral screen is extremely precious, and it was also the dowry of my aunt Li Shu when she got married.Li Taiwei once heard Zhaohe mention that there was once a priceless coral screen in the mansion, the whole body was red, very precious.Back then when her grandfather was still alive, he asked Mrs. Li to add it to the eldest aunt's dowry list to support the eldest aunt.

Li Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and the smile fell on his face.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Li Sheng was surprised for a moment, then looked at Mingcheng who was standing aside.

Mingcheng pursed his lips and glanced at his mother, his face a little embarrassed.

Li Sheng was even more puzzled. He raised his head and glanced at the boy who was carrying them back and forth. He carried dozens of nanmu boxes into the door, and Li Sheng's expression sank.
"Sister, didn't you tell that bastard King Fenyang to hurry back?"

Li Sheng seldom swears at others, and what he swears at is the King of Fenyang. Li Taiwei raised his eyes and looked over, feeling that today's matter is not easy.

Sure enough, Mingcheng opened his mouth when he heard Li Sheng scold his father for being an asshole, his face turned pale for a moment, and he lowered his head.

"Uncle. Yes. My mother wants to reconcile with my father."

"what?"

Li Sheng turned his head in surprise, looked at Li Shu who was crying suddenly, and asked:

"Sister, what wronged you?"

Li Taiwei quietly ordered someone to close the door, and poured tea for Li Shu and Mingcheng herself.

Li Shu gratefully took it, held Li Taiwei's hand, and asked a few words about Zhaohe's body.

Li Taiwei knew that the eldest aunt had something to say and it was not good to say it in front of her.She guessed in her heart that something unclean happened in King Fenyang's backyard, so it's hard for a girl like her to know about it.So he called Mingcheng and took him to Hua'antang to pay his respects to his grandmother.

Mingcheng said goodbye to Li Sheng, followed Li Taiwei to walk in the corridor, looking at everything that seemed strange, with a gloomy expression.

Because of the feud between King Fenyang and Li's family, he rarely had the opportunity to come to his grandmother's house in the past, and even if he came, he would just take a quick look at his grandmother and two uncles, and he would return home after staying for a few days.

The mother broke up with the father this time, and from now on...he might find it difficult to see his mother again.
Just as he was lost in thought, he saw the boy in front of the Qiutang courtyard picking up something. Seeing the mess in the house, he asked:
"Cousin, what happened in the house?"

Li Taiwei paused, followed his gaze, and understood something.After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't hide this matter from him, so he told Ming Cheng about the things in the mansion in the past few days.

The blood color faded from Mingcheng's face, and he said in surprise:

"You mean the second aunt is gone?"

"How could she do such a thing!"

Li Taiwei showed a wry smile on his face, turned his head to look at Mingcheng, and said:
"It is said that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. In a person's life, how can there be so many smooth times?"

Turning the subject, he said to Ming again:
"Fenyang King's backyard is on fire again?"

When Ming Cheng heard this, his ears turned red.

Li Taiwei was straightforward since he was a child, and he was spoiled by his third uncle and third aunt, so he spoke very straightforwardly.Mingcheng raised his eyes and glanced at Li Taiwei, and responded in a low voice.

"Ah."

Mrs. Li sighed slightly, sat down on a stone bench next to the rockery, tilted her head and said:
"Cousin, sit down and talk about it. What happened in your house?"

Mingcheng looked at Li Taiwei with some shame, how could he tell her this to a girl who hadn't left the court?

"Let's greet grandma first."

Li Taiwei couldn't look down on his submissive look, took a few steps forward and took his arm, wanting to ask him to sit down and talk about it.

Just put this hand on Mingcheng's cuff, and then he heard a male voice behind the rockery, saying sadly:
"Li Taiwei, it's in broad daylight. Can you show some face?"
