There was something in the military camp today. When Xiao Qirui returned to the mansion, it was already dark, and the faint light from the Jinxiu courtyard could be seen from a distance, and voices could still be faintly heard in his ears.

He took a few steps closer to hear more clearly, but before he got close, there were footsteps, and Xiao Qirui hurriedly turned to leave.

"Uncle?" A surprised voice came from behind.

The only one who could call him that was the maid next to Yuan Yuwan, Xiao Qirui stopped, and You Bai had trotted a few steps ahead of him to block his way.

Xiao Qirui had no choice but to nod at her: "I passed by."

You Bai didn't notice anything wrong with him, and said happily, "That's right, can the uncle have dinner?"

Xiao Qirui had already used it in the barracks, and was about to nod his head to say that he had used it, when he heard You Bai say again: "This slave has got the lady's order and is going to the front yard to invite my uncle to come to Jinxiuyuan for dinner. I didn't expect to meet you here. Uncle."

You Bai has been happy since hearing Yuan Yuwan's order in the afternoon, and she is really happy.

She knew that the young lady was cold-hearted now, but after a woman got married, she simply lived on the favor of her husband and had a child and a half-daughter by her side.

If her young lady has nothing, and now the Xiao family will treat her kindly because of guilt, what about in the future?

Seven out of the rules, no son is one of them, and You Bai dare not think about what will happen to her young lady.

"What did your lady instruct?" Xiao Qirui asked incredulously, swallowing the words.

Youbai nodded again and again: "Yeah, the lady ordered this afternoon, in order to wait for the uncle, I haven't eaten yet..."

Before her voice fell, Xiao Qirui had already turned around and walked towards Jinxiu Courtyard.

I ordered this and haven't eaten yet, isn't it a joke?

You Bai was stunned for a moment, covered her lips and snickered, look, she said that the uncle has a young lady in his heart.

Glancing somewhere, he snorted and chased after his uncle.

On the trail, a little maid watched Xiao Qirui enter the Jinxiu Courtyard, and hurriedly turned around and ran back to the Magnolia Courtyard to report the letter.

"Hey~" "What did you say, husband went to Jinxiu Academy?" Feng Manman raised his head in disbelief after a needle pricked his finger.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The eldest young master was about to come to our yard, but he was stopped by Young Bai who was next to the young lady. I don't know what she said. The eldest young master turned around and went to the Jinxiu courtyard." The little maid said cautiously. .

Feng Manman can almost imagine Xiao Qirui's expression at that time, happy? surprise?

A strong sense of jealousy came over him.

She didn't understand why Yuan Yuwan, who had always been fake and arrogant, seemed to have changed her personality today.

Others thought that Xiao Qirui was very fond of her. Before entering Xiao's house, even she herself thought he had her in his heart to some extent, but the reality gave her a slap in the face.

Xiao Qirui married her really just to repay her kindness, just to give her a place to live. He would rather lay a floor than sleep with her...

"Auntie, do you want a meal?" the little maid asked.

A flash of light flashed in Feng Manman's eyes, and it was fleeting. She shook her head, lowered her head and continued to do the embroidery work she was doing.

The little maid knew that Feng Manman was disfigured to save the eldest young master, and she could have been the wife of the common people. Seeing her so unbearable, she comforted: "Don't worry, auntie, the eldest young master rests in our yard more often than the main yard. There are a lot of them, so it can be seen that the eldest young master is interested in the concubine, and he will come over in a while."

The corners of Feng Manman's lips under the veil evoked a mocking arc. She took so many rests for you fools, just so that her aunt would not be looked down upon in this mansion.

He is obviously such a good person, yet he is so heartless.

In the Jinxiu Courtyard, the two of them finished their meal quietly, and You Bai thoughtfully put on a tea cup and stepped back.

Xiao Qirui ate a bit too much, didn't touch the tea cup, looked at Yuan Yuwan sitting opposite, and said seriously: "I will try to come back as soon as possible in the future, if I come back late, you don't have to wait for me, don't... don't be hungry. Own."

After he finished speaking, he felt that what he said was a bit wrong, and they didn't say that they would invite him over for dinner every day, which made him seem a little sentimental.

Noticing that Yuan Yuwan had a new hairpin on her head, she quickly changed the subject and said, "This hosta suits you very well."

His expression didn't seem to be fake, it was clearly the first time he saw this hosta.

Guessing what, Yuan Yuwan smiled lightly: "Really? Aunt Feng gave it to me."

The two of them had very little time to sit and talk together, and it was the first time that Feng Manman was mentioned.

Without waiting for him to speak, Yuan Yuwan continued: "I heard that the major general chose him, which means that the major general has a good vision."

Xiao Qirui was stunned: "She said I chose it?"

He did buy a hairpin, but that hairpin is still in his study to this day.

Yuan Yuwan picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Well, I made some snacks today and asked the maid to give it to her. This is her return gift."

A few pieces of dim sum will return a hosta, either too rich or too rich.

Xiao Qirui woke up from the joy of Yuan Yuwan inviting him to have dinner together. He pursed his lips and stood up and said, "There is still something to do in the study, I... I'll come back later."

After speaking, Yuan Yuwan was afraid of misunderstanding, and explained: "I'm laying the floor, you are in charge of the house now, it's not good if I don't come."

Yuan Yu nodded and did not refuse.

As soon as Xiao Qirui left, You Bai came in and said happily, "Uncle said that he will come over later."

"I know." Yuan Yuwan took off the hosta and put it in front of the dresser: "Let them fetch me water and take a bath."

"Hey." Youbai ordered to the outside, stepped forward to help Yuan Yuwan put down her bun, and sighed, "Miss, you can't be stupid again in the future, there is no reason to push your husband into another woman's room, It should be like today."

If she had known that Mrs. Song could persuade her young lady, why would she have been worried for so long.

Yuan Yuwan glanced at her and didn't explain that she had ulterior motives, otherwise the girl would have to talk again.

On the other hand, as soon as Xiao Qirui left Jinxiuyuan, he asked Xiao Li to check what happened in Bairi.

Big families have always been male and female, but that doesn't mean they really don't know anything about the affairs of the back house, but they seldom ask about it if it's not a big deal.

If you really want to investigate, there is really no way to hide them.

After a while, Xiao Li came back and said again what Shen Yijia had come to the house during the day and what Feng Manman said in return with the hosta.

As for what Shen Yijia and Yuan Yuwan said, I don't know. At that time, there was no one around them.

Xiao Qirui frowned, Feng Manman always told him that he hoped that he and Yuan Yuwan would clear up the misunderstanding, but...

"Young master, my subordinates have asked. You asked the housekeeper to buy the jewelry in Aunt Feng's room." Xiao Li admires the young lady who just entered the door. This time, the young master should always see that Aunt Feng is like that. Face to face with a set of people behind a set of it.

Xiao Qirui also remembered this at this time. That day, he heard a few maids in the Magnolia Academy talking behind his back that Feng Manman was so abysmal that he didn't even have any decent jewelry.

This kind of maid who didn't even care about the master was naturally sold by him, and he also ordered the steward to arrange some things to send to the Magnolia Garden.

Thinking about it, Feng Manman mistakenly thought that he had chosen it himself.

Xiao Li couldn't hear his voice, otherwise he would be so angry that he vomited three liters of blood, and sighed again, his young master is really helpless.

After all, it is the life-saving grace of protecting each other. Yuan Yuwan didn't expect Xiao Qirui to doubt Feng Manman so easily, but the seeds were planted, and they would always take root and sprout.

Besides, she did this mainly to show Feng Manman and remind Xiao Qirui that it was just incidental.

Shen Yijia never thought that the original intention of what she told Yuan Yuwan was to make her be careful about Feng Manman, but it turned out that they did the opposite and deliberately angered Feng Manman, trying to lead the snake out of the hole.

It's true that Feng Manman was overwhelmed by jealousy, so he couldn't think too much about what he did, and it was easy to reveal his faults.

On the other hand, Yuan Yuwan was even more dangerous.

Shen Yijia was lying on the bed and told Song Jingchen about the Xiao family.

"General Xiao knows what he knows." Song Jingchen knew that she was holding grievances for Yuan Yuwan, and her heart was sour, but she still had to comfort her.

"I know, otherwise he wouldn't have arranged for two maids who know martial arts to go to Sister Yuwan." Shen Yijia puffed out her cheeks, turned over and rolled into Song Jingchen's arms: "I also asked Mo Yuan to go to Feng Manman's room to see if she could. If you can't find the antidote, I didn't expect people to hide it so deeply that you can't find it at all."

When she took advantage of La Feng Manman, she also took advantage of the situation to check her pulse. Just like Mo Yuan said, when the heart-eating poison does not attack, it is no different from ordinary people, and it is impossible to detect it at all.

"Life-saving medicine will naturally be taken with you." Song Jingchen knew that Shen Yijia wanted to help, but did not attack her.

Rubbing her hair, she said softly, "General Xiao is watching over Feng Manman, don't worry about it, go to sleep."

Shen Yijia thought about it too, nodded obediently, and closed her eyes.

A night without dreams.

The last time he returned from disappointment, Xuanyuance didn't go to Mingxiangju again, but continued to soak in various brothels, and even spent a lot of money for a certain Hua Kui, when people thought that he had no interest in Mingxiangju, Mingxiangju was there. Instead, he took the initiative to invite him.

The first time Xuanyuance ignored it, and when Mingxiangju sent out the third invitation in succession, Xuanyuance brought people along with a lack of interest.

It was the same small attic last time, and it was the woman who led the way.

But this time, she didn't ask Xuanyuance which tea master she would arrange to serve, but instead asked the people who Xuanyuance brought to take off their masks.

Xuanyuan Ce frowned and said displeasedly, "You don't have so many requirements to enter your Great Xia Palace, why are you all doing so much here?"

The woman Fushen apologized and said: "The guests who come to our Mingxiangju are all rich or expensive. If something happens, we at Mingxiangju can't afford it, and I hope the lord will be considerate."

Xuanyuan Ce: "What if you don't pick it?"

"Then the relationship between the prince and our Mingxiangju will stop there."

Xuanyuan Ce stared at her for a while, but the latter did not give in at all.

He sneered: "You Mingxiangju better satisfy this king, otherwise..."

"Naturally." The woman smiled and gave Xuanyuance a wink.

Xuanyuance's forehead throbbed, remembering that he is now a philanderer who only knows how to find flowers and lose willows, so he didn't roll his eyes.

He leaned back lazily and instructed, "You two, take off your masks."

The two standing behind him looked at each other, raised their hands and slowly removed the mask from their faces, revealing two unfamiliar faces.

At first glance, it was amazing, but when she noticed the scars on the faces of the two, the woman was taken aback.

The scar seemed to divide the faces of the two people in two, one side was white and flawless, and the other side was indeed pitted.

Xuanyuan Ce sneered: "It's what you want to see, but it's not that this king does not pity Xiangxiyu."

"Their faces..." The woman lowered her head and didn't dare to take a second look.

"Accidentally burned, why, I want this king to tell you why the burn was not successful?" Xuanyuan Ce said impatiently.

The woman said apologetically: "It's the slave family's rudeness, the two of you should put on your masks."

The two took advantage of the opportunity to put on the mask, and in a place that others could not see, the petite one secretly stretched out his little thumb to hook the other person.

The intention to invite credit is obvious.

These two are none other than Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia in disguise.

The scar on his face was made by Shen Yijia and Mo Yuan with pig skin when he had nothing to do, inspired by Feng Manman.

This time, Shen Yijia wanted to try the effect, but it just worked.

The woman confirmed the identities of the two and proposed not to carry weapons.

Xuanyuan Ce's face was as black as ink and asked the two to put down their swords, and Shen Yijia also took the initiative to take out the dagger that was with him.

The woman then smiled and clapped her hands, and several women dressed as guards came over.

Xuanyuan Ce narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "What does this mean?"

The woman took out a handkerchief from her bosom and walked behind Xuanyuance herself, exhaling like a lantern: "Everyone knows that the lord is here at our Mingxiang Residence, and we will never dare to harm the lord, so the lord can rest assured, the slave family. I just want to give the prince a surprise."

Xuanyuan Ce held back his disgust and did not move, letting the woman cover her eyes with a handkerchief.

Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia were also treated the same.

Someone helped them down the attic.

His eyes couldn't see, so he could only follow each other. After about a tea time, the people around him stopped, and the sound of the wooden board moving came from his ears, and he took a step forward.

Immediately after that, there was the whirring of the wind, and it was obvious that the body was descending with the things under the feet.

Song Jingchen sneered, the paths just walked were just confusing, and finally took them up to the attic.

The switch was pressed in the attic, and from here, the lift board went straight down to the basement.

If he guessed correctly, the lift plate is under the table table, and it was the table table that was just moved.

Time passed little by little, and the sounds around him gradually increased, chatting and laughter, silk and bamboo music, the sound was in the ear, and the tip of the nose was a faint fragrance.

After walking for a while, the veil in front of him was removed.

What catches the eye is a magnificent lobby. Five stone pillars stand in the center of the lobby, the ground is covered with wooden floors, and there are several floors of attics when you look up.

If they didn't know in advance that it was underground, they would have thought it was a single-family yard.

The woman was very satisfied with the shock in the eyes of the three of them, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, but Miss Lan Qing is still waiting."
