Chapter 209 Mrs. Luo's Worries
The second prince was obviously not there, and he did not enter or leave the mansion, but he showed up the next day, which made Aunt Zhou suspicious. When she was not on the stage in Liyuan, she liked to learn some tricks from the old masters of Liyuan, so she I found an opportunity to go out of the house and bought some snakes and some medicinal materials, and it took three days to find the clue to the secret way.

"However, we only found the entrance of the secret passage, and never entered it." Even though Qian Yuru had no intentions for the second prince, she wanted to live a good life. Who knows if there are guards or traps in the secret passage?If they went in and happened to meet the second prince who came back, they would definitely not be able to see the sun the next day.

"If you're not sure, don't act on your own." Luo Xiyao asked Fang Fei to bring her pen and ink, "Aunt Zhou, please draw your discovery, and leave it to me to explore the secret path!"

Don't look at Aunt Zhou who is tall and rough, but she can write and draw, and she has a careful heart. She has marked several secret passages in detail, so that Luo Xiyao, who has touched several times at night, can recognize the approximate location at a glance.

"I can only stay here for one night. If you want to know anything, just ask Aunt Zhou."

Knowing Qian Yuru's intentions, Luo Xiyao nodded with a smile, "I even invited you here, so why would I be polite to you?"

Qian Yurong took out a purse and handed it to Luo Xiyao, "There are Aunt Zhou's method of controlling snakes and the prescription for attracting snake medicine powder, you can take it. But the ugly words are in the front, I saw Aunt Zhou's formula with my own eyes. Medicine powder, I have also seen how obedient the snake is in her hands, but it is not good in my hands, Aunt Zhou said that controlling the snake also depends on talent and fate."

"If I can't learn it, it means my skills are inferior to others, I admit it. Sister Yuru don't worry."

"This time I go out, firstly, to come to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings, and secondly, because my mother is seriously ill, so I begged the second concubine to go out. This time, I don't know if I can see you off when you go to Mobei."

"We will meet each other if we are destined." Luo Xiyao said, "When you go back to Qian's Mansion... you will have a lot of headaches, do you have any useful people at hand? I will go to Mobei, His Majesty Shanqi Prince's Mansion will not take it back, you If you need help, take this to Prince Shanqi's Mansion to find Steward He."

Qian Yuru picked up the teacup, "Substitute tea for wine, wish us all the best."

The housekeeper wanted to urge, looked up and saw Luo Xiyao's deep gaze, and his heart trembled, he bowed and retreated.

"How is this possible?"

Fang Fei nodded, "Maybe so."

Mrs. Luo was a little puzzled when she mentioned the Xu family to her, "What do you mean? The wedding date has been agreed, but Mr. Xu brought Mr. Xu to the door, but he saw your uncle went, and only let the servant He brought me some cloth, saying that Mrs. Xu is not used to the climate of the capital, and she feels a little uncomfortable these days...they don't want to divorce, do they?"

"Yes, the Xu family is very prestigious in academics."

There was irony in Luo Xiyao's eyes, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Luo Xiyao raised her eyebrows, "You go back to the Shangshu Mansion first, I'll go and talk to the prince before I go."

"Yes."

After the morning class, Luo Xiyao's always turbulent heart was rarely at peace. She left the Taoist temple after eating a small bowl of noodles.

Luo Xiyao smiled, "Let's go! Let's go and see if Mr. Xu is a dragon or a worm."

Mu Xiang has experience in dealing with little beggars, Luo Xiyao found two guards to accompany Mu Xiang to inquire about this matter, "Just go back to the palace when things are done, you don't need to go to Shangshu's mansion to find me."

"Ah."

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm just telling you the worst side." Luo Xiyao said, "Auntie is busy with Fourth Sister and I and Jili these few days, so she rarely goes out, right? Do you know that now Can’t even see a beggar in the streets? The Yujiang earthquake, the murder case in Wei County, etc. have already spread. Mr. Xu brought Mr. Xu to see his uncle, maybe to discuss disaster relief. Master Xu was the first to be an official in Beijing, and he knows more things than Master Xu."

Qian Yuru smiled and took her hand, "Thank you. You don't have to worry too much about me. My father and brother are ruthless to me. For the sake of the second prince, they won't kill me. It's you, be careful."

"Second Master Xu is already a jury, and this time he came to Beijing to participate in the general examination. If he is a Jinshi, with Mr. Xu's ability, he will definitely be able to enter the Imperial Academy. Once an official is selected, he will be really short." Fang Fei was in the palace for a long time. , these are still well understood.

When Qian Yuru left, Luo Xiyao didn't see her off, she just stood in the pavilion on the top of the Taoist temple and watched the carriage go away.

If it's about the marriage of the two families, Mrs. Xu will bring the son to the door. Why does Mr. Xu come to the door?
Luo Xiyao asked Hong Ming to go ahead and inquire, "A few people have come to the Xu residence, if there are no female relatives from the Xu residence, then go and check to see if Mrs. Xu is sick in bed."

"Wish us all the best."

"I remember... the second son of the Xu family hasn't achieved fame yet, has he?"

Before returning to Shanqi Prince's Mansion, he was stopped by the butler of the Luo Mansion outside the palace, "Ninth Miss, Hello, Mr. Xu came to the door with the young master, Madam asked the younger one to invite Ninth Miss to accompany Fourth Miss."

On the carriage, she noticed that not only were there no refugees in Beijing, but even beggars were gone.

As soon as Luo Xiyao entered the Shangshu Mansion, she was taken to Mrs. Luo's place.

Luo Xiyao said, "If a cow doesn't drink water, it's not good to force its head. Even if you want to quench your thirst with a twisted melon, it must be that the person who twists the melon doesn't care whether the melon is sweet or not. The fourth sister looks straightforward, but in fact Sensitive mind, if the marriage goes well, let it go, if the Xu family regrets it, then don't force it."

What Luo Xiyao really cares about is whether Luo Siniang will be wronged if she marries, "Master Xu has already served as an official in Beijing, if you want to come to the Xu family's children, you can only let them go."

Mrs. Luo said: "Even so, the two families have finally agreed on the marriage, and it's just a matter of time. At this time, even if Mrs. Xu can't come to the door, other female family members of the Xu family should also come!"

"So what if I give it away? Apart from empty blessings, there are only tears in my eyes. Why bother? What should be said has already been said, and what should be done is also clear to each other. If we can meet alive, everything will be fine." It's possible. If not...forget it, I agreed to go to morning class yesterday, let's listen to the scriptures and cleanse our hearts."

Fangfei said, "Miss, what are you talking about?"

"The children of the Xu family must go to school regardless of their descendants?"

Yun Pian said softly: "Since the girl is reluctant, why don't you send Mrs. Qian away? Even if someone sees it, it doesn't matter. If you meet in the Taoist temple, it is fate. They are both women, so you can't say a few words?"

If the Xu family really cared about Si Niang, they would not point out a few pieces of cloth. The Xu family is deeply rooted in Yuzhou. Yuzhou brocade is rare for others, but it is common for them. I can't help but speculate from time to time.

If the Xu family repents their marriage and doesn't say it directly, but delays slowly... that would be despicable and shameless.

Luo Xiyao thought for a while and said, "What does Fourth Sister say?"

"I haven't spoken to her yet."
