167The Lost Dowry "This Lanyue Building has been collecting treasures and antiques for generations.
Today, Boss Xing specially invites our group of close friends who have the same hobbies to come to visit, appreciate, discuss and communicate.
Anyway, you have nothing to do at home, so why not go out and take a look Look, how about taking a break and relaxing your mood?"
Wherever Nangong Rang looked, there were exquisite works of calligraphy.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it really is the Lan Yue Tower.
It really is a rare treasure.
It has everything you need, and it's not less than the palace.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Why did Nangong ask you to bring me here?"
Li Zhige was a little confused.
This guy had to be so smart that she wouldn't believe that he was just here to appreciate the treasures.
"It is indeed the beautiful lady Linglongxin.
Well, let me tell you, the name of that person just now is Xing Tianming."
Nangong Rang pointed to the middle-aged man who was still greeting the distinguished guests at the gate, raised his eyebrows proudly, and said softly: "He This person has two specialties in his life.
The first is appraising jewelry and antiques.
The second one is the Five Elements Bagua, which is very good at Feng Shui.
Your restaurant needs to be renovated, so let him check the Feng Shui for you.
Don’t say you will make a fortune every day, even if you make a fortune every day.
It’s no big deal,” Nangong Rang whispered in Li Zhige’s ear, with a stern look on his face.
Feng Shui is indeed very particular, especially when doing business.
Feng Shui is indeed very important.
"He is the most famous Feng Shui master in the Imperial Capital.
There is a long queue of people asking for his services, which can go around the entire Imperial Capital hundreds of times."
Nangong Rang pulled Li Zhige to a side with less people, pretending to appreciate it.
Holding antique calligraphy and painting, he then patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter for you."
Although she didn't really believe in the theory of Feng Shui and luck, seeing Nangong Rang helping her like this made her heart warm.
But then again, I have believed in science for many years, but I never thought that I would be transported back in time for no reason.
Sometimes things that are too certain may not be the truth.
"Prince Nangong, it's been a long time no see."
Someone came up to greet Nangong Rang one by one.
"Master Zhang, Master Feng, Master Fang, please be polite."
Nangong Rang closed the folding fan in his hand and bowed his hands, "Hey, why didn't I see Master Wei today?
He always comes to every occasion like this."
"Hey, Prince, you don't know that the daughter of Mr.
Wei's family disappeared a few days ago."
Mr.
Zhang replied helplessly with a long sigh.
"Missing" Nangong Rang crossed his arms and frowned, "This matter is not a trivial matter."
"Yes, aren't there always young girls missing these days?
The daughter of Mr.
Wei's family is famous for her beauty.
Those thieves must have kidnapped her in the middle of the night."
Mr.
Feng guessed, holding out three fingers.
Said: "It's been three days and three nights and there's still no news."

"You said that there are people under the emperor's feet who dare to kidnap an official lady.
It's really emboldened by ambition."
Mr.
Fang took over the conversation and commented.
"The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds," Nangong Rang couldn't help but sigh.
The folding fan in his hand opened with a loud bang, blinding several adults.
"Prince Nangong, this is the legendary Ten Thousand Gold Fan," Master Feng asked excitedly, his eyes almost glued to Nangong Rang's fan.
"Exactly" Nangong Rang nodded and replied, "It is inlaid with ninety-nine and eighty-one top-quality diamonds."
"Wow, today Zhang is really eye-opening."
Mr.
Zhang couldn't help stroking the diamond greedily.
"Hey, this is my prince's collection.
Don't use any crooked ideas."
Nangong Rang put away the folding fan in his hand and quietly stepped back a few steps to warn.
"Prince Nangong is joking, how dare we covet your collection?"
Mr.
Fang quickly said with a smile, "Why don't we go see Boss Xing's collection together?"
"Okay."
Nangong Rang stared at Li Zhige, who turned her back.
Knowing that she didn't like this kind of scene, he smiled and followed the three adults forward to appreciate the rare treasures.
Li Zhige saw a group of chattering people leaving, wandering around boredly.
These calligraphy and paintings were really made by famous artists, and there were also many young talents who loved calligraphy.
"This is not an ordinary bracelet.
What's magical about it is that" several people were discussing a bracelet behind a heavy cabinet.
Li Zhige glanced through the crowd and focused on this object. this bracelet "It can activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and has the miraculous effect of quickly healing wounds."
Someone introduced it with envy.
"Is it true or false?
Could it be that you made it up?"
The audience didn't seem to believe it and began to question it one after another.
"I can't make it up.
It came from the hands of the miraculous doctor Sikong Chengde, and it's called Floating Agarwood.
These agarwood stones are extraordinary.
They were specially planted among various precious medicinal materials by the miraculous doctor Sikong for more than ten years. , absorbed the magical properties of the medicinal materials, and made them into bracelets to achieve this magical effect," the man explained.
"It's really such a good thing.
Boss Xing is really good at collecting such precious items."
"Let's go and take a look at the front."
The group of people walked forward.
Li Zhige walked slowly to the front of the floating agarwood.
The floating stones were carved with tiny complex characters that only she could understand.
They were Prajna Heart Sutra mantras and ethereal Sanskrit.
They were really made by her grandfather himself.
But isn’t the agarwood the mother’s dowry?
Why does it appear here?
Her heart sank.
There must be something interesting in this.

"Welcome to Lanyuelou, thank you very much Xing.
I invite you here today to communicate with you.
Please forgive me for any inconveniences," Xing Tianming greeted politely.
"Boss Xing is so polite.
We are lucky enough to see so many rare antiques," someone replied.
"Boss Xing, why don't you tell me the origin of this calligraphy and painting?"
someone said, pointing to the calligraphy and painting in front of him.
"Okay."
When Xing Tianming saw that everyone was so interested in his collection, he was naturally very happy and walked quickly to start talking.
Li Zhige was fascinated by the floating agarwood in front of him, his eyebrows were slightly condensed, and his beautiful eyes were shining, which was very complicated.
He slowly took a few steps forward, his eyes darkened again, and he was shocked.
This was "Zhige, what's wrong with you?
Why do you look so ugly?"
Nangong Rang walked over carefully and asked with concern when he saw her frightened expression.
Seeing that Li Zhige didn't speak, just staring at Fengguan Xiapei in front of him in a daze, he couldn't help but be curious.
He took her cold jade hand and tested the temperature of his forehead, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"This is" Li Zhige took out his slender hand from Nangong Rang's and pointed at the flaming Fengguan Xiapei in front of him, feeling indescribable shock and surprise.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Rang also cast his eyes in the direction where Li Zhige was staring.
He really wasn't very clear about this.
He turned his head to Xing Tianming and said, "Boss Xing, can you tell me about this?"
Seeing this, Xing Tianming smiled, walked slowly over, and said loudly: "This is a rare treasure that can only be seen in a hundred years.
Prince Nangong has really good eyesight."
"Boss Xing, are you kidding?"
Nangong Rang replied humbly.
"This phoenix crown is not only made of pure gold, but is inlaid with thousands of fine jadeite and crystals as thin as ox hair.
It can show extraordinary colors in the sun, shaped like a colorful rainbow, it is extremely magical.
And this Xiapei is even more...
It is sewn with pure gold silk thread and is embroidered with precious Yunsi Sichuan embroidery, which is priceless."
Boss Xing continued to talk about his collection.
"It's indeed a good thing."
Nangong Rang nodded slightly and glanced at Li Zhige, whose face was getting worse.
Her expression seemed to have some connection with Fengguan Xiapei.
He fanned the folding fan in his hand leisurely, "I don't know where this thing comes from.
Where did Boss Xing get this treasure?"
"Hahaha, Crown Prince Nangong is such a noble man and forgets things.
Back then, that guy Zhou Chaoyang got the three treasures, and the other one was Jade Spirit Feiyin.
Wasn't it bought by you, Prince Nangong?
Otherwise, how could I have three treasures and one missing?"
Xing Tianming He complained slightly dissatisfiedly.
"Oh, this hasn't happened yet.
I really can't remember it.
Hahaha" Nangong Rang started to pretend to be dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty, Miss Li seems to be feeling unwell."
Xing Tianming reminded Li Zhige when he saw his slightly pale face.
Nangong Rang was shocked to realize that something was wrong with Li Zhige.

He helped her up and said apologetically: "Boss Xing is really embarrassed.
I will take Miss Li back home first.
I will visit you in person another day."
"Good luck, my dear son," Xing Tianming replied politely.
Li Zhige was distracted all the way on the bumpy carriage.
Nangong Rang was so anxious that he almost asked Xiao Xuanzi to go to the palace to ask for an imperial doctor.
He really suspected that he had been possessed by something evil.
"Zhige, please say something and don't scare me."
Nangong Rang wrapped his cloak around her body, stroking the cold jade hands with both hands, his eyes full of fear.
"Feng Guan Xia Pei belongs to my mother."
Li Zhige suddenly gave way to Nangong.
Nangong Rang was obviously shocked, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "How is this possible?"
"It's true that there are spiritual characters carved in seal script on it.
And the floating agarwood bracelet next to it was made by my grandfather.
And the jade spirit flying sound in your hand is my mother's dowry."
Li Zhige said calmly, she The determined tone and eyes made Nangong Rang tremble all over.
"If it's your mother's dowry, why is it in Zhou Chaoyang's hands?"
Nangong Rang couldn't help but wonder, "Zhige, are you mistaken?"
Li Zhige shook his head slightly, his eyes were cold, and he said calmly: "No, the complicated patterns on it are the unique font of the Sikong family.
Others can't even read it, let alone a fake."
Nangong Rang couldn't help but be surprised, no wonder she liked the Jade Spirit Flying Sound so much last time.
"You can take me back home first."
Li Zhige stared at the dazzling sunshine outside the window.
No matter how warm the afternoon was, it could not warm her desolate heart. ＊＊＊ Li Mansion.
Qin Yuan.
"Master, you must make the decision for Qinyu.
You see, they beat me all over and have wounds all over my body.
And our daughter, they are absolutely crazy, master."
Huang Qinyu cried loudly, showing the wounds on her body one by one.
Li Yiyan looked at it and cried so hard that it was unspeakably miserable.
"The injury is so serious, why don't you see a doctor?"
Li Yiyan looked very distressed in her eyes.
Huang Qinyu has been her darling over the years, and she loved her so much that Li Rumeng naturally doted on her to the extreme.
"Sir, Madam, she won't allow it," Huang Qinyu said hoarsely again: "She clearly wants our mother and daughter to die, sir, you must make the decision for us."
"Come here, why don't you go see the doctor yet?"
Li Yiyan saw that Huang Qinyu and Li Rumeng were covered in injuries.
He sighed and ordered.
"Master" Huang Qinyu seemed to want to say something more, but was blocked by Li Yiyan.
"Madam, she is pregnant with Liujia.
If you have nothing to do, don't bother her."
Li Yiyan's tone was very indifferent.
Huang Qinyu's whole body instantly became colder by dozens of degrees, staring at Li Yiyan blankly.
She didn't expect that the love between husband and wife for so many years could not be worth the evil in her belly.
"Dad, you are obviously covering up."
Naturally, Li Rumeng couldn't stand this cowardly tone and was beaten.

Her father actually covered up the real culprit.
Instead of going to settle the score with Zhang Mingming, he stopped them.
"Shut up," Li Yiyan shouted angrily, "Are there any rules?"
Li Rumeng suddenly jumped up and was frightened by Li Yiyan's shock.
He had never spoken to himself so loudly since he was a child, and two lines of hot tears flowed down his face.
"Don't think that I don't know what you did.
First, you put love potions on your eldest sister and second sister's clothes, and now you are even more serious about ruining your eldest sister's appearance.
How can you be so vicious at such a young age?"
Li Yiyan pointed at Li Rumeng He scolded: "Don't think I won't touch you.
If there is a next time, get out of Li's Mansion."
"Master" Huang Qinyu was too scared to speak.
He hugged his precious daughter and wiped her tears.
Li Rumeng kept crying and did not dare to speak.
"Listen to me, you two.
If anyone dares to do harm to the fetus in my wife's belly, see if I will kill her."
Li Yiyan put down his harsh words and walked away angrily, scaring Huang Qinyu's mother and daughter on the ground.
Cry bitterly.
Outside the window, a man in black jumped in and stared at Huang Qinyu and her daughter who were comforting each other.
The sharp sword pressed against Li Rumeng's neck, causing the two of them to scream wildly.
"Don't make a sound, if you call me again I will kill her."
The long sword in his hand came into close contact with Li Rumeng, and a stream of blood flowed down the sword.
"Well" Huang Qinyu quickly covered her mouth with her hands and stared at the wound on Li Rumeng's neck.
"If you are wise, hand over the key to the vault, or I will kill your daughter."
As he spoke, the long sword in his hand seemed to have advanced another inch, and Li Rumeng's suppressed moans could be heard in his ears.
"Why, you refuse?"
the man in black couldn't help but asked, "It seems that your daughter's life is not as good as those dead things."
Huang Qinyu hesitated for a while and said nervously: "Don't hurt my daughter."
"Mom, give him the key quickly."
Li Rumeng had just seen her father's ruthlessness, and now she saw her mother's greed for money, and she even didn't care about the life of her only daughter.
"You'd better hand it over quickly, I don't have much patience to wait for you."
The long sword in her hand was used hard again, and the pain across her skin made Li Rumeng cry out.
The pain instantly spread to her whole body, and blood It gushed out like a rain of blood all over the sky, scaring her so much that she almost fainted.
"Bye bye."
Huang Qinyu turned around and lifted the bead curtain on his side, took out the key hidden in the last big bead of the curtain, and handed it to the man in black with trembling hands.
With a bang, Li Rumeng was thrown aside by the man in black like garbage.
The ground was covered with bright red blood, which made Huang Qinyu cover her chest in fright.
"Come here, help me!"
Huang Qinyu's voice echoed in the silent night sky, and Li Rumeng smiled bitterly as he was dying.
"Like a dream," Huang Qinyu cried and helped Li Rumeng up from the ground, but was frightened by her sharp and hateful eyes, and her heart felt cold.
"I hate you, I hate you," Li Rumeng cursed at the top of her lungs, two lines of hot tears flowed down her face, and she finally closed her eyes filled with hatred.
"Like a dream," Huang Qinyu's cry echoed through the entire Li Mansion "Come here, catch the assassin quickly."
For a moment, the entire Li Mansion fell into extreme chaos, with cries, shouts, shouts, and noises everywhere.
Before the man in black ran out of the gate of Qinyuan, he was already surrounded by a group of guards.
They were all holding broadswords and long swords, staring at the thieves in front of them.
The long sword in the hand of the man in black quickly cut through the crowd in front of him.

He jumped up and retreated.
The key fell from the man's body with a "bang" sound.
Everyone was about to catch up and found the key, and hurriedly brought it back to the master for inspection.
The man in black crossed several low flower bushes, dodged the guards patrolling everywhere, and finally disappeared into the Jingyuan.
"Ah, who are you?"
Xiaoxue asked in shock when she saw the man in black breaking in and dropping the bowls and chopsticks in her hands.
"Shh" Li Zhige pulled down the black scarf covering his face and said softly.
"Miss, you" Xiaoxue couldn't believe her eyes.
The lady was actually dressed like an assassin in her own home.
"Stop talking so much, Xiaoxue will get a key just like this key."
Li Zhige handed the yellow ink pad box in his arms to Xiaoxue, which contained the sample of the vault key just now.
"Yes" Xiaoxue took the box and left in a hurry ＊＊＊ hall.
"Master, the key is found."
Li Fu excitedly handed the key to the vault to Li Yiyan.
Li Yiyan took the key to the vault and asked coldly: "Where is the assassin?"
"My master, that assassin has great martial arts skills and ran away."
Li Fu replied respectfully with his head lowered.
"What a bunch of trash."
Li Yiyan kept the key with him and became furious, then asked: "How is Miss Fifth?"
"This subordinate has been catching assassins just now.
The situation in Qinyuan is really unclear."
Li Fu bowed and replied.
"But the doctor has arrived, there shouldn't be any danger."
"Li Fu, strengthen your defenses, especially the treasury."
Li Yiyan warned, "In the past few days, I will go out to inspect the surrounding cities.
Please keep an eye on me in the mansion.
If there are any mistakes, see how I deal with you when I come back."
"My subordinates will do their best to protect the safety of Li Mansion."
Li Fu knew that he had a heavy responsibility and couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
In fact, he is not worried about the safety of the house.
What worries him most is the infighting between the eldest lady and Aunt Huang.
What if they start quarreling during the master's absence?
＊＊＊ "Miss, what you want."
Xiaoxue handed the key hidden in the sleeves of her coat to Li Zhige, and asked curiously: "Miss, what is this key for?"
"This is the key to the vault."
Li Zhige stared at the uniquely crafted key.
She had been to the vault before but was not surprised when she saw the lock.
Li Yiyan was so cunning, with explosives attached to both sides of the lock.
If she had used an ordinary master key to unlock the door, she would probably die without a burial place.
"Miss, are you going to the vault?"
Xiaoxue closed all the windows and doors around her and asked in a low voice.
"The guards there are very tight."
"It doesn't matter if it's strict or not, I have to go to this place anyway."
Li Zhige kept the key close to his body, but it was not suitable to move now that the wind was blowing.
My mother's dowry must have been placed in the treasury and was wandering outside for no reason.

She must go and check it out, maybe there will be any clues. ＊＊＊ Qin Yuan.
"Rumeng, don't blame mother for hesitating.
Mother just wants to delay time to find someone to save you.
Mother really doesn't care about those external things."
Huang Qinyu cried even more tearfully, watching the doctor bandaging Li Rumeng's wound, and then dressing herself.
Medicine, couldn't help crying.
"Doctor, how is my daughter?"
Huang Qinyu grabbed the doctor and asked anxiously.
"The Fifth Miss is not seriously ill.
She just lost too much blood and is temporarily comatose.
Take a few medicines and take care of yourself and you will be fine in a few days.
As for the rest, they are just skin injuries like you, nothing to worry about."
The doctor bandaged the wounds and prescribed medicine.
Convenient to leave.
"Madam, have you figured out what the assassin is?"
Nanny Yang carefully helped her onto the soft couch and asked unwillingly.
"It's a woman," Huang Qinyu replied firmly, holding Nanny Yang's hand, recalling, "And she must be a practitioner, very strong and very fast."
"Could it be Grandma Tong who works for the eldest lady?"
Grandma Yang guessed, her black eyes narrowed tightly.
"It's that bitch Zhang Mingming again."
Huang Qinyu was so angry that she almost broke her silver teeth.
"It's really too much!"
His whole face began to tremble with anger, and he stared at Li Rumeng, who was lying on the bed.
Full of murderous intent.
"This eldest lady has always been ruthless in her actions.
Nanny Tong, who is under her command, was brought here from the General's Mansion.
She is very skilled.
She must be angry that Madam has the key to the vault, so she sent someone to snatch it.
If the key is lost, The uncle will definitely punish Madam," Nanny Yang reasoned.
"Humph, don't think it's important to have something in your belly.
As long as I, Huang Qinyu, am here, I will never let you give birth to this evil bastard."
Huang Qinyu originally hated Li Yiyan for being ruthless and unrighteous, and now she is even more determined to bring down Zhang Mingming. . ＊＊＊ Mingyuan.
"Madam, that's what happened.
The master was so angry that he didn't even look at the mother and daughter, and even confiscated the key to the vault."
Grandma Tong told Zhang Mingming exactly what had just happened.
"Hahaha, I really didn't expect that Huang Qinyu would be here today."
Zhang Mingming gloated while drinking bird's nest.
"It seems that we need to add more fire to make the master completely hate her."
"What the eldest lady said is, what should we do now?"
Nanny Tong watched the little maid feed the last mouthful of bird's nest into Zhang Mingming's mouth, waiting for the next order.
"You, come to the master and tell me madam that I have a stomachache."
Zhang Mingming pointed to a maid beside him.
"Go and bring the steamed buns and porridge that I specially asked you to keep a few days ago and put them on the table." ＊＊＊ "Sir, this way."
The maid led Li Yiyan over.
Zhang Mingming quickly lay down on the bed with the support of Granny Tong, humming without a sound, and the sound seemed to be very painful.

"What's going on?
Madam, what's wrong?
Have you called the doctor?"
Li Yiyan opened the door and saw Zhang Mingming's face was pale and he fell weakly on the bed.
Although he had always suspected that the child in his belly was not his, in the past few days, he had sent people to inquire and found out that Zhang Mingming had not been in contact with other men during the days of pregnancy, and the guards also proved that she was Spend the night in Zhang Mingming's room.
So, now he believes that the child in her belly is his own flesh and blood This must be God's mercy, so he gave her an old man.
"Sir, the doctor said that Madam has a bad stomach and is malnourished," Grandma Tong said with some embarrassment.
"Mother Tong, stop talking," Zhang Mingming weakly stopped her.
"Keep talking," Li Yiyan said to Nanny Tong nervously.
"I'm afraid that if things continue like this, there will be a risk of miscarriage."
Nanny Tong said bravely, knelt on the ground and cried, "Master, please make the decision for me, madam.
These days, steamed buns and porridge are not available even for us."
It’s unbearable for anyone, let alone a pregnant wife.
Even if the doctor doesn’t eat the child, he still has to eat it, sir.”
"What, steamed buns and porridge?"
Li Yiyan couldn't help but get angry when he heard that.
He stepped forward and stared at the moldy steamed buns and porridge on the table.
"What on earth is going on when these are already sour?"
He couldn't believe what he saw before him.
Li Yiyan looked at the moldy steamed buns and porridge on the table.
The prime minister actually eats this kind of thing.
"Master, Aunt Huang is avenging her private life and deliberately depriving everyone of food.
This is already the fifth day."
Aunt Tong cried and said, "Madam just suffered a miscarriage from her before, and now she can no longer bear it.
This is such a hassle.
Master, please save my wife quickly."
"That's unreasonable."
Li Yiyan suddenly smashed the steamed buns and porridge on the table and threw them on the ground, "Li Fu" "Master, what is going on?"
Li Yiyan couldn't help shouting angrily, "How did you become a housekeeper?"
"The master is wronged," Li Fu quickly explained: "Aunt Huang is in charge of the food and drink in this mansion, and my subordinates don't know."
"If the order goes down, from now on all the food and drinks in the mansion will be under the control of Wang Xueping."
Li Yiyan was angry in his heart, "If Huang Qinyu does anything out of line again, the family will take care of it."
"Yes" Li Fu replied.
A few sneers flashed across Zhang Mingming's lips, "Huang Qinyu, if you want to fight me, you're still young."
Li Fu raised his eyebrows at Zhang Mingming.
His master had been lukewarm towards her and the child before, but these days Li Fu came to report that he had confirmed her innocence, so the fetus in her belly must become Li Yiyan. pet peeve.
Now it seems that it is indeed true.
Li Fu, you did a good job.
I thank you for not trusting you in vain. ＊＊＊ Qin Yuan.
"How is this possible, impossible, impossible?"
Huang Qinyu's body was empty and he suddenly fell backwards.
"How could the master do this to me?
Impossible, impossible."
Two lines of hot tears flowed down.
"Madam, are you okay?"

Nanny Yang asked softly while supporting Huang Qinyu.
"Mr.
Li, you must have lied to me," Huang Qinyu asked unwillingly, pulling on Li Fu's sleeves.
"Aunt Huang, how dare I lie to you?
These are all orders given by the master himself.
From now on, this food and drink will be under the control of Aunt Wang, and the key to the treasury will be kept by the master himself.
You will be free from now on.
Take good care of yourself.
Come on, I'm leaving first."
Li Fu was originally from Zhang Mingming's group.
Seeing Huang Qinyu's appearance, he felt secretly happy and did not look back coolly.
"How could this happen?"
Huang Qinyu was depressed.
Why did she suddenly lose everything overnight?
This was the country she had finally conquered.
How could it be gone if it was gone?
"Poof" suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out from Huang Qinyu's mouth, making the maids and maids in the room scream in fright.
"Master, how can you be so cruel, Master?"
Huang Qinyu fainted and fell to the ground unwillingly. ＊＊＊ treasury.
After evading the layers of guards, Li Zhige jumped onto the beam on one side like a silver fox, and saw more than a dozen guards standing outside the vault.
"Here, there is an assassin."
Suddenly, a panicked cry for help came from not far away.
After hearing this, the guards only left two people to guard the door, while the rest ran to the rescue in a hurry.
"Where is the assassin?"
The guard couldn't help but ask when he saw Xiaoxue standing there alone.
"That's where it's going, chase her quickly."
Xiaoxue pointed forward.
"Let's go" The guards rushed forward in a hive.
Li Zhige quickly charmed the two guards at the door, opened the door to the vault with the key, and stepped inside.
"Miss, Miss," Xiaoxue called softly outside the door.
Li Zhige carefully closed the door to the vault, pointed to his lips, and left.
"Miss, how are you?
Did you find anything?"
Xiaoxue asked curiously.
Li Zhige nodded slightly and said disappointedly: "No."
"Then what should I do?
I didn't expect that after so much effort, I didn't find anything."
Xiaoxue sighed as she leaned against the big tree on one side.
"Perhaps we are looking in the wrong direction."
Li Zhige couldn't help but think.
Suddenly, something seemed to happen to the group in front.
"Stop."
Wang Xueping stood confidently in front of the courtyard admiring the flowers.
She glanced at Li Ruyao who was hurried away, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Aunt Wang" Li Ruyao turned around in fear.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
This Aunt Wang bullied her all day long and kept calling her "little monster".
Even the servants in the mansion discriminated against and laughed at her.
"Why don't you see me here?
Are you blind?"
Wang Xueping has gained some power in the past few days and has naturally become more arrogant.
She touched a bright red plum with one hand and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Looking at Li Ruyao, who was pale with fright at this moment, she looked like a man-eating monster.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Wang, I didn't mean it.
I didn't see it just now."
Li Ruyao felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard Wang Xueping's cruel voice.
Although this Wang Xueping was said to be a maid, she always used the fact that she was an aunt to find trouble.
Just find any reason to teach her a lesson.
This bitterness is really more bitter than the bitter medicine cooked with Coptis chinensis.
"I don't care what your reason is.
Nanny Huang, arrest her and teach her a lesson."
Wang Xueping had a smile on her face, her eyes were intoxicating, but the viciousness in her eyes was particularly terrifying.
"Yes."
The old woman behind her came up with a few people to catch Li Ruyao.
She was so frightened that she just begged for mercy.
"I'm getting more and more courageous, and I don't even take my wife seriously anymore."
Wang Xueping then smiled gloomily at the corner of her mouth.
In the past, everyone laughed at her, but now it's time to see who dares not to give her some face.
"Aunt Wang, have mercy on me, I will never dare to do it again."
Li Ruyao desperately struggled against the shackles of these evil women.
She had suffered a lot from them these years.
Hum Wang Xueping glanced fiercely, "Do you still want a next time?"
He sneered ruthlessly, "You understand, your mother is the maid, and I am the aunt, do you understand?"
Li Ruyao's face showed a trace of resentment and unwillingness, but eventually it went out like an extinguished candle.
"Mother Wang, hit me, hit me hard."
Wang Xueping narrowed her charming and blurred eyes, with a hint of a kind smile on her face, which was really scary.
"No, Aunt Wang, no," Li Ruyao struggled and started to shout.
"Hit me, hit me hard."
Wang Xueping was lying comfortably on a chaise longue, looking at the plum blossom she had just picked carefully in her hand, as if she was extremely proud of it.
"Papa papa" Li Ruyao's body was filled with pain, and she kept screaming.
"Miss Third is so pitiful," Xiaoxue couldn't help but sigh, "As a master, she is not even as good as a maid, and she is always bullied."
Li Zhige stared at Li Ruyao, who was beaten to pieces.
She had not paid attention to this third lady before, but now she seemed to be extremely weak and incompetent.
Li Ruyao's face was covered in cold sweat and she was clutching her sleeves.
She caught a glimpse of Li Zhige not far away and quickly begged: "Sister, save my eldest sister, save me."
"Xiaoxue, let's go and don't cause trouble."
Li Zhige was not familiar with the affairs in the house.
As for the third lady's character, he didn't know it, so it was not convenient for him to interfere.
There are too many stories about "farmers and snakes" in this deep mansion and compound these days, and the human heart is the most unpredictable and difficult to understand.
"Sister" Li Ruyao couldn't help but feel her heart sinking when she saw Li Zhige turning around and shouting at the top of her lungs: "Please save me once for the sake of seeing that my mother was once your mother's dowry maid."
Li Zhige frowned when she heard this.

What did she just say?
"Stop" Li Zhige led Xiaoxue to the side of Aunt Wang and said with sharp eyes: "No matter how bad she is, she is the third young lady of the prime minister's house.
It is not your turn to teach a little aunt like you."
"Miss, you don't know," Wang Xueping replied unwillingly when she saw that Li Zhige was meddling in other people's business.
"Aunt Wang, I advise you not to offend me."
Li Zhige's condensed words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, making Wang Xueping's face turn pale.
"Otherwise, I will make you die miserably."
"Go" Wang Xueping naturally knew how powerful Li Zhige was.
Even the eldest lady couldn't do anything to her, not to mention that she didn't dare to offend her now that her foundation was not stable.
"What did you just say?"
Li Zhige walked to Li Ruyao's side.
Li Ruyao stood up with difficulty with Xiaoxue's help, enduring the pain.
Her hair was disheveled, her body was frail, her eyes were full of sadness and helplessness, "What I said is true."
"In that case, where is your wife?"
If what she said is true, then you can know what happened back then.
"My mother," Li Ruyao's eyes dimmed and she lowered her head slightly, "Come with me."
A dilapidated and desolate courtyard was filled with thick dust and messy spider webs.
"My mother is inside."
Li Ruyao opened the door, and a strong musty smell hit her nostrils.
Xiaoxue shook her sleeves and said doubtfully: "How could anyone live in this place?"
"Hey" Li Ruyao sighed helplessly and walked into the door first.
In the messy and dirty room, he saw a woman with tattered and dirty clothes hiding in a dark corner on one side.
"Mom, I am Ruyao."
Li Ruyao walked towards Jin Xiaoyun step by step.
Her voice was very gentle and trembling inexplicably, "Look who I brought to see you today."
Jin Xiaoyun stared at Li Ruyao in horror.
She helped him up from the corner while shivering.
He casually picked up Li Ruyao's sleeve and started biting it in confusion.
He must be hungry.
"This is your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake, come here."
Li Ruyao handed the flattened pastry to Jin Xiaoyun.
Jin Xiaoyun smelled the fragrance, couldn't wait to grab it, and wolfed it down.
Li Zhige slowly stepped forward, staring at her ignorant look, and couldn't help but feel a little chilled.
"Ah" Jin Xiaoyun was so frightened when she saw Li Zhige's face that she threw the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand on the ground.
"Ghost, oh ghost," she hid around as if she had seen a ghost, and she went crazy.
"Mom, this is the eldest lady, not a ghost," Li Ruyao explained.
"I don't know anything, I don't know."
Jin Xiaoyun lay on the ground in a daze, holding his head in his hands and trembling all over.
"Ah, miss, don't come to me to say goodbye" "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
When Li Ruyao saw Jin Xiaoyun who was so excited, he got under the table and tried to catch her, but to no avail.
"Miss, it seems that Aunt Jin is really crazy.
Let's go," Xiaoxue whispered in Li Zhige's ear.
Li Zhige nodded slightly, a hint of sympathy flashed across his beautiful face, "Let's go."
"Miss Third, let's go."
Xiaoxue helped Li Ruyao, who was covered in blood behind her, to limp out.

Li Zhige slowly closed the door and saw Jin Xiaoyun under the table staring at the blood stains behind Li Ruyao and shedding two lines of hot tears.
She's not crazy at all
＊＊＊ Dongsheng Inn.
"Old madam, we basically have enough manpower now.
It's just that this restaurant is not as good as an inn.
I'm afraid Morita will be too busy in the kitchen alone.
Even if she doesn't eat, she will be busy all by herself."
Gouwazi He hit the nail on the head and talked about the issue that Li Zhige was worried about.
Li Zhige nodded slightly, his calm black eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and he said calmly: "I have been thinking about this matter for a long time.
Moritian's skills still need to be improved, and we still need to find a new chef."
"Gou WaZi thinks so too."
Gou WaZi said with a smile.
The hero really had the same idea.
He closed the densely written paper in his hand and said anxiously: "But old lady, this chef is not easy to find.
It is easier for newbies.
I’m afraid this skill is not good, but it’s really hard to find an experienced person.”
"In this case, you go look for it first.
As long as it is acceptable, you can make a deal at any price.
However, the quality must be guaranteed, understand?"
Li Zhige calmly asked.
In fact, she had already thought of this issue when she was at Nangong Villa before. .
"Understood" Gou Wazi hurriedly retreated, but met Xiaofeng at the door.
"Girl" Xiaofeng timidly explored the room and called out to Li Zhige who was trying to figure out a way to solve trivial matters.
"Xiao Feng, come in."
Li Zhige called Xiao Feng in.
It seems that he is relieved now that he has a pretty face.
"Girl" Xiaofeng entered the room and quickly knelt down in front of Li Zhige, kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your life-saving grace.
Xiaofeng will never forget it.
I will work hard to repay you in this life."
"Get up."
Li Zhige put down the pen and ink in his hand and personally helped Xiaofeng up.
"You have said these words many times.
Don't say them again in the future.
Doing well here is the greatest reward for me, you know?"
Xiaofeng stared at her dignified and beautiful face for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
"By the way, why did you show up at the official slave market?"
Li Zhige remembered that the last time he saw him was in the western suburbs.
"Girl, you don't know that after the last fire, the imperial court distributed decoctions to everyone.
Later, everyone naturally recovered from the plague.
Some people said that this was not a plague at all, but someone poisoned.
In the end, the imperial court dismissed everyone.
You also know that no one in my family is dead, even my mother was burned alive by them.
I originally wanted to argue with them, but they threw me into the official slave market without saying a word."
Xiaofeng said sadly.
All he did was think of his poor mother.

"Now that the matter is over, don't be sad.
Stay here and work well, I won't treat you badly."
Li Zhige understood this feeling of being lonely and helpless, and finding a place to settle down was actually the best destination for him. .
"Yeah" Xiaofeng touched his nose and nodded.
"Are the other three people from Xijiao also with you?"
Li Zhige asked suddenly.
She saved four people last time.
"No.
I don't know them."
Xiaofeng replied seriously.
"Okay, I have nothing to do here.
You can go down first."
Li Zhige sat back down and picked up his pen to deal with the complicated matters.
After all, it is difficult to open a restaurant these days, and just talking about competitors is enough to give people a headache.
She had to admire Xuanyuan Youchen, how on earth did this guy make Yipinju famous in the imperial capital?
The image of his back when he left flashed in her mind, and she felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart.
When I dragged my heavy steps back to Li's Mansion, it was already dark.
A crescent moon hung in the sky, and the flickering stars blinked mischievously in the night.
She would be back late these days, so she specifically asked Xiaoxue not to wait for her, but to rest in the room next door earlier.
It was unspeakably cold outside the house.
Li Zhige pushed open the door and quickly closed it tightly.
At this moment, she was so tired that she could sleep on the bed.
He took off his heavy cloak, threw it casually to one side, and lazily walked towards the bed.
She opened the quilt and found someone on the bed.
This realization made her instantly alert.
Who, who is there t:
