Chapter 170
Everyone turned around and left the ancestral hall. After walking a few steps, a white tiger suddenly appeared from among the flowers on the other side.

"Roar……"

Bai Hu roared at them, turned his head and walked towards Xiao Jinyue who was behind.

Many people were so frightened that they recognized that this was the white tiger that made a big fuss that day. They hadn't seen it in the mansion for the past few days and thought it had already left. Who knew it would appear again suddenly.

Hearing the familiar sound of a tiger, Xiao Jinyue knew it was Xiaobai.

For the past few days, it has been playing with Chi Yan on the island in the middle of the lake behind Shi'an Garden, and it doesn't know how it came here suddenly.

The guards carried Lu Chengting's chariot to Shi'an Garden, while the white tiger followed with Xiao Jinyue on its back, and all the servants they saw along the way were whispering.

Some girls even secretly commented, "I didn't expect that white tiger to be so obedient to the princess, and even willing to be her mount."

Another servant girl said, "I heard that the white tiger is auspicious. It followed the concubine to our Zhenguo mansion. Does it mean that our Zhenguo mansion will be full of auspiciousness in the future, and it will get better and better in the future?"

"It should be. Although the status of the concubine is low, if she can help our Duke Zhen's mansion to a higher level, the old Duke will definitely appreciate her greatly..."

Chang'an county master stood behind a clump of flowers holding the maid's hand, listening to the two maids' discussion, her long fingernails pinched the arm of the maid who was supporting her.But the maid didn't dare to say a word, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

Staring faintly at the back figure that was riding a white tiger as it went farther and farther away, the face of Chang'an county magistrate turned black, and after a while, he suddenly smiled.

Seeing that distorted smiling face, the personal servant girl was terrified in her heart, and she was even more frightened.

Xiao Jinyue didn't know that others were talking about her behind her back, Baihu wanted to follow her, and she didn't want to go back to Daqingshan, so she let it go.Maybe having Xiaobai by her side can deter those who harbor evil intentions.

After a busy day, they returned to Shi'an Court, where the two finally sat down and had a sip of tea.

Lu Chengting put down the teacup, just about to ask Xiao Jinyue if something happened when he went to Songhe Hall, but when he raised his eyes, he saw her staring at him straightly.

An unnatural feeling rose in Lu Chengting's heart, and he instinctively wanted to serve the teacup again, but he quickly realized that there was something wrong with the way Miss Xiao looked at him.

Looking up again, sure enough, although she was staring at him, it seemed that she was looking at others through him.

Lu Chengting frowned, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking to see if you look like Mrs. Tai." Xiao Jinyue glared at him, even taking advantage of her trance to set her words.

"What can you see?"

Xiao Jinyue glanced at him, "I don't think you look like Mrs. Tai."

Seeing that Lu Chengting did not refute, Xiao Jinyue asked curiously, "Do you look like the old man?"

Although he didn't know why she was suddenly curious about his appearance, he still said frankly, "My appearance is a little like my grandfather's."

Seeing Xiao Jinyue's hesitation to speak, Lu Chengting said, "Ask whatever you want, don't hold it in your heart, lest you get overwhelmed."

Xiao Jinyue felt that if she didn't get the answer to the question in her heart, she might not be able to sleep tonight.

"Is Mrs. Tai the original wife of the old Duke?"

Why does it get weirder the more you ask?

Although puzzled, Lu Chengting nodded, "Of course, my grandfather only married one wife."

Xiao Jinyue frowned, "So, your father was born to Mrs. Tai, right?"

This is even more outrageous, Mrs. Tai is his grandmother, and his father is the eldest son of her and grandfather. Who in the capital doesn't know?
wrong.

Lu Chengting frowned, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Xiao Jinyue glanced at Lu Chengting, endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back, "Your father was born to Mrs. Tai and the old Duke, so are you born to the Duke and Mrs. Guo?"

Lu Chengting couldn't help but laugh, "It's not my own, so could it be picked?"

Originally, he just said that casually, but unexpectedly Xiao Jinyue nodded solemnly, "That's right, I think you just picked it up."

"Then this will disappoint you. My appearance is a combination of the advantages of both my father and my mother."

Xiao Jinyue blurted out, "Are you sure you look like your parents?"

Lu Chengting gave her a puzzled look, but still nodded, "Although I was poisoned, I won't even remember this wrong."

Xiao Jinyue blurted out, "That's weird."

"What's strange?"

Xiao Jinyue sighed, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, she'd better not worry about it, those injured guards are still waiting for her to diagnose and treat them."

"It's nothing, I'm going to treat the wounds of the injured guards and hidden guards, and I'll give you acupuncture when I come back later."

Lu Chengting frowned and watched her walk out of the flower hall. He always felt that Xiao Jinyue looked at him a little hard to explain, especially the last look at him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

But he frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. After a while, Lu Chengting called out the window, "Dongli."

"Subordinates are here."

"What happened to the Crown Princess in Songhe Hall just now?"

Dongli stood with his hands down, telling Lu Chengting everything about what happened in Songhe Hall.

After listening to Dongli's words, the question in Lu Chengting's mind was not answered, but even more confused.

Grandmother asked Xiao Jinyue to drink Anshen tea. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but after the maid smashed the tea bowl twice, grandmother insisted that she drink Anshen tea before returning to Shi'an Garden, which is a bit strange.

It's just a bowl of Anshen Tea, which is available in any yard, so Xiao Jinyue is supposed to drink it even if he returns to Shi'an Garden.But Nanny Gong, who had always only served her grandmother, actually brought another bowl herself, and then dropped the tea bowl inexplicably, which was even more strange.

But what do these things have to do with his appearance?
"Is there anything else I didn't say?" Lu Chengting was a little worried when he saw Xiao Jinyue went to Songhe Hall and didn't return, so he asked Dongli to follow quietly.

Dongli raised his head and glanced at Lu Chengting, he hesitated to speak.

Lu Chengting's eyes immediately turned cold, "Why, what are you trying to hide from me?"

Dongli shuddered, "Don't dare. There is one thing, I don't know if my subordinates misunderstood it."

"What's the matter?"

"When the crown prince visited Mrs. Tai, the subordinates seemed to see killing intent in Mrs. Tai's eyes."

At that time, the concubine Shizi lowered her head and didn't see Mrs. Tai's eyes, but he could see clearly when he was hiding in the dark.Xu was so surprised by Madam Tai's killing intent that he almost suspected that he was wrong.

Lu Chengting's face darkened, "Are you sure you read it right?"

Dong Li frowned, he also felt that he must be dazzled.Who doesn't know that Mrs. Tai has always been the most benevolent and rarely beats or scolds her servants.Miss Xiao is the wife of the eldest son. Even if Mrs. Tai is dissatisfied with this granddaughter-in-law, how can she have murderous intentions towards her.

"Songhe Hall has hidden guards left by the old Duke. In order not to let them notice, the subordinates were a little far away at that time. Maybe they misread it."

Lu Chengting was noncommittal to this statement, Dongli was born as a secret guard, not only has high martial arts skills, but also is most sensitive to murderous intent.Although he stayed a little far away for fear of alarming the hidden guards left by his grandfather, he believed that with Dongli's ability, he wouldn't be mistaken for murderous intent.
