Chapter 184 Where to start?

The room was all silent.

Apart from Shen Xi's private worries, although giving a marriage is decent, it also depends on who it is placed on.

If it is someone who has always been favored, then the person who bestows marriage must not be too bad.It can be regarded as icing on the cake.

But if it doesn't occupy an important position in the emperor's heart, then whether the marriage is good or not depends on luck.

Although the Shen family has improved slightly, they are still far from being favored. As the pearls protecting Shen Xi, they would naturally prefer that she choose a good man to marry instead of letting the emperor mess up the mandarin ducks.

"Probably not." Ping Shuang said anxiously, "The girl is the leader, if marriage is to be given, shouldn't it be the girl first?"

How can such a thing be said accurately?There is no rule as to who should come first.

But no one refuted it. After all, it is not a good thing to make people panic.

"Okay, go pass the message, it's almost noon." Aunt Pei greeted.The maids immediately dispersed.

Seeing that everyone had left, Yuan Bei stopped in front of Shen Xi and said, "I've already found out."

Shen Xi then motioned for her to follow into the inner room, and sat down on the south couch, before letting her continue talking.

Yuan Bei said: "Mi Xiang and Liu Xu are both Mrs. Han's dowry. It is said that there were eighteen men, women and children who passed through the Han family together from the Zhang family in the past.

"In the year when the Zhang family died, a group of old servants followed secretly to the south, and then stayed behind with inconvenient legs. Later, their whereabouts were unknown, and they all passed away.

"Mi Xiang and Liu Xu were originally the youngest maidservants in front of Mrs. Han, and later along with the old ones, the two of them also became the maids in charge of the old lady by virtue of their cleverness.

"I heard that catkins were more useful a few years ago, and my husband and children all found good jobs in the Han family.

"It's just that because of angering the old lady, Liu Xu, the youngest son and daughter-in-law all moved to Zhuangzi, except for the eldest son who stayed in Hange old courtyard as a servant.

"Today's Anrongtang of the Han family has Mi Xiang as the most senior qualification. In the Han family, she has a courtyard with two rooms and three rooms. Although her husband is gone, her daughter is also the second steward in the big kitchen. The granddaughters are all the big maids in front of the two girls of the Han family.

"It is said that the old lady once thought of releasing them as slaves. Although she didn't say anything, it is estimated that this kind of favor is not far away."

In Shen Xi's memory, Mixiang Liuxu still looked like a little maid with long hair, but he didn't have any deeper memories.

However, I heard that some of the servants who went with the Han family secretly came out to follow the south, and I felt comforted in my heart.

Can the Zhang family have such a loyal servant, isn't it in vain for the Zhang family's benevolent reputation?
"You just said that Liu Xu was sent to Zhuangzi for offending Mrs. Han?" she asked.

"Exactly." Yuan Bei nodded, "I heard from the maidservant that the incident happened about seven or eight years ago, when Mrs. Han was still on the sickbed.

"I can't find out the details, but I heard that Liu Xu accompanied the old lady to serve the decoction in the old lady's room, but for some reason, the old lady called her out in the middle of the night, and rushed to Zhuangzi the next day.

"If Elder Han Ge had not already held an important position in the court at that time, and Liu Qin, Liu Xu's eldest son, was very useful in front of Elder Han Ge. After Elder Han Ge came forward to protect him, otherwise, the entire family would be expelled. Went out of the house."

"Master Han?"

Hearing this, Shen Xi suddenly straightened his back.

The old man of the Han family, Han Ruoji, has played a significant role in Wen Chan's 50 years of life.

But because of his death, Shen Xi never paid attention to him before his death.

Liu Xu turned out to be Wen Chan who offended him before his sick bed, what was the reason?Is it related to Han Ruoju?

Liu Xu was able to stay by Wen Chan's side for such a long time, and it was so useful, so it could be seen that she would not be reckless.Then why did she still annoy Wen Chan when she was old?

Or, it was Han Ruoju who angered her, and Wen Chan just took the blame?
But no matter who offended, Liu Xu has no reason to act impulsively.

Unless someone fell into the trap.

As for the person who dug the hole for her, Mi Xiang was most likely to be suspected.

After all, Mi Xiang couldn't monopolize the power if Liu Xu was there, and after Liu Xu left, she now lost an opponent for no reason.

In this way, it can be preliminarily inferred that there is a rift between Mi Xiang and Liu Xu.

Even if it wasn't for Mi Xiang's digging, Liu Xu's status is very different from hers now, in comparison, no hatred can become hatred.

"Can I get close to Liu Xu?" she asked.

Yuan Bei frowned and shook his head: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult.

"The Han family village is full of people from the Han family. Liu Xu and her family are farming there, and they won't come out easily. Even if we can go in, we probably won't be able to let her guard down."

This is true.

Even though Liu Xu was punished in Zhuangzi, she was still living with the grace of the Han family.

What's more, there is still an eldest son staying by Han Dun's side.So even the days of losing power will not suffer much.

She was someone who had stayed by Wen Chan's side for decades, so she had to be more or less scrupulous about Wen Chan's methods. With all these obstacles, it was not easy to get her to confide something.

However, she had a hunch that this thread was extremely useful to her.

After all, these two people have come here with Wen Chan for 50 years, maybe even Han Dun and the others may not know about some secrets, but the two of them do.

For example, when she killed Zhang Ying back then, Wen Chan certainly couldn't have done it all by herself from beginning to end. There must be some things that need to be done by someone else?
Even if there were no clues back then, she might have wiped out those who knew about it long ago, but after all these years, Mi Xiang and the others really couldn't detect any traces?
She was still in a daze when she asked her to beg for the blood jade bracelet.

"These two people, you and Wang'er are trying to help me keep an eye on it. It's convenient to talk to Pearl where money is needed." She confessed.

Yuan Bei responded, but after thinking for a while, she still asked: "I dare to ask, is there any festival between the girl and the Han family?"

Shen Xi looked sideways.

She quickly explained: "I don't want to inquire about anything, I just feel that if I have a bottom line in my heart, I can judge what happens."

Shen Xi thought about it for a while and said, "Just take it as it is."

Yuan Bei immediately said yes, and quickly turned out.

The little emperor granted nine marriages in one day, and the news seemed to have grown wings and flew all over the capital.

Of course, most people still accept it. After all, the woman is a lady who has shown her talents in the school field, and the man is also a powerful child who thinks he can marry the newcomer from the second rank of the doctor and the servant of the Ministry of Justice.

Except for the temperament and other things that still need to be understood, in fact, they are really a perfect match.
