Chapter 41
Li Miaoyi thought about it seriously, but Li Muqing still shook her head with hopeful eyes and said, "My daughter has never seen anyone else in her grandfather's house.

Hearing this, Li Muqing was still a little unwilling to give up, but he knew that he couldn't get anything out of Li Miaoyi, so he had no choice but to give up.

Li Muqing waved his hand and said, "In that case, you can go down first."

After leaving the hall door, Li Miaoyi kept thinking about the meaning of what Li Muqing just said.

Li Miaoyi thought for a while, and just now Li Muqing mentioned her grandfather's disciple. Although Li Muqing's question was vague, Li Miaoyi guessed that the disciple Li Muqing mentioned was most likely Song Yanxing.

So, why did Li Muqing ask about Song Yanxing's itinerary.

Gradually, a line gradually became clear in Li Miaoyi's mind.

The prince's trip south this time and the arrest of the corrupt official Fang Buping will surely bring out many corrupt officials in the court. So what is the purpose of Li Muqing's inquiry?Is it because that party is grievances? What does he have to do with embezzlement of disaster relief funds?

Li Miaoyi walked slowly to the backyard and saw Li Miaoyin standing by the pool. Li Miaoyi's eyes flashed.

Li Miaoyin raised her lips when she saw Li Miaoyi's arrival, but the gentle look she had next to Li Muqing completely disappeared.

Li Miaoyin sneered and looked at Li Miaoyi and said, "You are lucky. You went to Wenyang and avoided the wedding. I just don't know if the eldest sister is lucky or not." After speaking, Li Miaoyin lengthened her voice and said , "Coff."

In Dongling, as long as the reputation of a woman's wife spreads, it will be difficult to get a chance to get married. Most of them will have green lanterns and ancient Buddhas to accompany them throughout their lives.

Hearing this, Li Miaoyi raised her eyebrows, pretending to be surprised and said, "Sister, please don't talk nonsense. Why do you think you mean what you said, as if you don't care about Pingyang Marquis's affairs at all."

Li Miaoyin sneered and said, "Sister is the newly married bride of Marquis Pingyang. Naturally, she has to worry about this good opportunity to make a mistake. But sister, she has nothing to do with the Marquis Pingyang's mansion."

Li Miaoyi was shocked and said loudly, "Sister, don't talk nonsense. This Pingyang Marquis was once the founding hero of Dongling, so he was attacked from the marquis position. I feel sorry for the Pingyang Marquis' current situation."

After a pause, Li Miaoyi suddenly seemed to remember something. She looked innocent and said, "When did my sister hear the rumors outside that she is going to marry Pingyang Hou? The son of Pingyang Hou already has a wife. Could it be that my sister wants her to marry him?" Marry a legitimate daughter as a concubine?"

Li Miaoyi used the word "concubine" very strongly.

After saying this, Li Miaoyi looked surprised.

In Dongling, the system is strict, and the distinction between concubines and concubines is particularly particular, especially for women. The daughter of a concubine can only be a concubine. This is the rule of Dongling.

The word "concubine" is the biggest pain for Li Miaoyin so far.

No matter how favored she and Li Qizhe are in the palace, they are both the children of a concubine. No matter how knowledgeable and courteous she appears to be, the noble girls in the capital will never look down on her. No matter how hard she works, they are always crowded out. Don't go into that circle.

Hearing this, Li Miaoyin's face froze and she said, "How come I heard that the person my sister is going to marry is not the son of Marquis Pingyang, but..."

Before Li Miaoyin finished speaking, Li Miaoyi interrupted her. At this time, there were servants working by the pool. Li Miaoyi knew that each of them seemed to be working seriously at this time, but their ears were clearly kept open. Pay attention here.

Li Miaoyi said aggrievedly, "Sister, I don't know anything about this. I wonder how my sister knew about it? Although I don't know who spread the news, but don't imitate those people who gossip."

The words had some other meaning as soon as they came out, as if Li Miaoyin was stirring up trouble.

But at this time, Li Miaoyin couldn't tell that this was Li Muqing that her mother had instigated. If she did, she would be a concubine treating her legitimate daughter harshly.

Li Miaoyin could only break her teeth, swallow it in her stomach, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Sister said yes." Li Muqing was not stupid. That day, he was thinking about what would happen if there was any accident. More specifically, he felt in his heart He still planned to get Li Miaoyi to bring greater benefits to him, so that day it was just a verbal promise between Li Muqing and Pingyang Hou. Now Pingyang Hou is dead.

If because of this incident, Li Miaoyi was allowed to bear the name of Kefu and harm her own interests, Li Muqing would never be able to do it.

Therefore, it can be said that there is no proof of this marriage.

And what Li Miaoyi just said made sense, and there were a lot of fights between the concubine and concubine. They were just chatting after dinner, so this became what the concubine said because she was jealous of her concubine.

After the two separated, Li Miaoyi returned to her courtyard.

He turned to Meng Chun and said, "Go and call Mrs. Li here, and be more discreet."

"Yes, ma'am."

This thing is not difficult, you can do it with a little money, but the difficult thing is how to do it quietly.

Mrs. Li can be considered an old servant of the Li family, but she has always been helping in the kitchen.

Li Miaoyi had no chance to interact with Mrs. Li, but although Mrs. Li Jiang was the first wife, she had always been a kind person.

Mrs. Li's son owed money at a casino and was being collected for debt, so Mrs. Li went to Li Jiang for help.

But Mrs. Li Jiang was not there that day, but after Li Miaoyi found out about this, she also gave Mrs. Li money and took a favor from her.

Now it's time to return the favor.

In the end, Meng Chun avoided the crowd and took the road in the forest to bring Mrs. Li.

Li Miaoyi winked at Meng Chun, and Meng Chun understood immediately.

She hooked her lips, pulled Mrs. Li up from her knees, and said, "Is your son okay now?"

Mrs. Li said gratefully, "Thank you, miss. Now he is working in a tofu factory, so he can support himself."

Li Miaoyi nodded and said, "That's good." After saying that, Li Miaoyi bit her lower lip, as if she was hesitant to speak and was embarrassed to speak, and said, "Actually, I came to see you today because I have something to think about. Looking for your help."

Mrs. Li quickly said, "Young Lady, it doesn't matter. As long as I, Mrs. Li, can do it, I, Mrs. Li, will do it for Miss even if I go through fire and water."

Li Miaoyi quickly shook her head and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that my sister and I had a dispute in the backyard today. I'm afraid she'll be one step ahead of me and spread the word that will harm my integrity, so I want you to be one step ahead of her." Li Miaoyi lowered her head.

Mrs. Li has been in the Li family for such a long time, and Li Miaoyi's situation is naturally clear to her. She quickly said, "Don't worry, miss, I will take care of this for you."

Li Miaoyi nodded and said, "But I know that people's words can be scary. Mrs. Li, you just need to tell the truth."

But Li Miaoyi's face was full of aggrieved expression.
