Changfeng came back from outside and saw Ling Xiao still sitting there in trance.

"Master Marquis, Master Yang has left."

"Can you find out how the old Marquis got sick?" Ling Xiao came back to his senses and asked.

"On the night of your wedding, the old marquis returned to the Zhongyuanhou Mansion and had a quarrel with Mrs. Zhongyuanhou. I heard from the woman in the yard that the reason for the quarrel was that the old marquis said that Mrs. Zhongyuanhou was not virtuous and harmed Mrs. Zhongyuanhou. You are not allowed to come back to worship your ancestors even after your wedding, which makes you lose face. You also said that you want to divorce Mrs. Zhongyuanhou. Mrs. Zhongyuanhou said, you are now Jingyuanhou and you have your own mansion. Zhongyuanhou Mansion has already It has nothing to do with you. The Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion belongs to the Second Master. The old Marquis was furious and told Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis that he had returned to his hometown to discuss with the clan leader a few days ago and would go to the palace to report to Emperor Ming in a few days. Everything in the Zhongyuan Marquis' Mansion was given to your eldest son. Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis was so angry that she felt heartbroken. The next night, Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis held a banquet to admit her mistake to the old Marquis. He fell ill that night. "

Ling Xiao frowned more and more, "Didn't you save any food for that night? Or did anyone in the kitchen eat it?"

"No." Changfeng said: "The people in the kitchen said that because it was too late that day, someone with the reputation of Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou was waiting in the kitchen."

"You quietly capture the woman named Wei next to Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou." Ling Xiao said, "Be sure to ask something."

Changfeng knew that Ling Xiao suspected the cause of Zhongyuan Hou's illness. In fact, he also had suspicions, but he did not dare to touch the people around Zhongyuan Hou's wife. Now with Ling Xiao's permission, he immediately went to Zhongyuan Hou's mansion.

Ling Xiao returned to the backyard and saw Zuo Xiangning lying on her side on the Arhat bed in the outer room. Seeing him come in, she immediately sat up and asked, "Back?"

"Didn't I say it? You don't need to worry." Ling Xiao lay on the Arhat bed with her, looking at her blue eyes, he said distressedly: "You haven't slept in the past two days, okay? Your little face seems to have lost weight. "

"No way." Zuo Xiangning lay on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, she really felt sleepy.

In the afternoon, Yang Zhi sent a white jade cabbage ornament, saying it was a wedding gift, as well as two century-old ginseng.

Ling Xiao glanced at it and asked Changfeng to step back.

When Changfeng came to the door, he stopped Changfeng again, "Leave the cabbage ornaments."

Yang Zhi looked at the two ginseng sticks sent back by Ling Xiao and sighed to the housekeeper: "He treats me as an ordinary official friend. He only accepts my wedding gift but does not accept my concern for the old Marquis."

The housekeeper smiled and consoled him: "Master, you are overthinking it. Marquis Jingyuan has been close to you since he was a child. He may have ginseng in his hands and thought of such a good thing for you to keep for yourself."

Yang Zhi smiled bitterly and asked someone to put away the ginseng.

At night, when it was getting dark, Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou felt a little anxious when she saw that her eldest brother had never returned, so she sent her mother-in-law to the Yang Mansion.

But Yang Zhi was angry, so he wanted to cool her down and make her remember a little longer.

When Yang saw that her eldest brother didn't even see her, she suddenly lost her confidence.

She was secretly worried that her eldest brother had reached some kind of agreement with Ling Xiao that was not beneficial to their mother and son, right?

She was restless and wanted to go to Yang's house immediately, but was stopped by the mother-in-law beside her.

"The curfew is coming soon. Madam, it's better to go tomorrow." The mother-in-law stopped her and said, "It would be troublesome if someone stopped her."

Yang slapped his palm on the table angrily, and said in a hateful voice: "The tiger fell down and was bullied by the dog! Now I can't even walk around the capital at will?"

The mother-in-law didn't dare to speak anymore. But without Marquis Zhongyuan and Marquis Jingyuan, who else could take her, Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis, seriously?

Yang glanced around and realized that she hadn't seen Mrs. Wei all afternoon.

"Where has Granny Wei gone?" Yang frowned and said, "Go find her for me and let her keep watch tonight!"

The mother-in-law hurriedly ran out to look for her.

A quarter of an hour later, the mother-in-law came back and said: "Mother Wei left the house at noon and never came back. I have sent someone to look for her at her house."

"Hmph!" Ms. Yang sneered, "Now no one thinks highly of me, not even my dowry!"

The mother-in-law didn't dare to say a word.

After waiting for a long time and not finding Mrs. Wei at her home, Yang realized that something might have happened to Mrs. Wei.

She suddenly panicked.

Granny Wei was the closest person to her. Granny Wei knew almost everything she did.

At this time, the only person she could think of was Ling Xiao!
Yang couldn't stand it anymore and asked someone to prepare a carriage immediately. She went to Yang's house overnight.

When Yang Zhi heard that she was coming, he went to the front yard angrily. When he entered the house, he scolded: "Can you please make people worry less? Come here so late, don't you worry about your parents? How long are you going to do this?" ?”

"Brother, Ling Xiao has captured Mrs. Wei!" Yang said anxiously: "Mother Wei is the closest person to me. If she falls into Ling Xiao's hands, then... then Ling Xiao will know everything. !”

"When was she taken away?" Yang Zhi also became nervous, "How do you know it was Ling Xiao who took her away? Did anyone see it?"

"Mr. Wei stays in the Hou Mansion almost every day, and rarely returns home. But after leaving the house at noon today, she has not come back until now. She can't be found anywhere. You tell me, wasn't she captured by Ling Xiao? , where else can we go?" Yang said anxiously: "Brother, you have to go to Ling Xiao to ask for someone now, otherwise, the longer it takes, the more difficult things may be!"

"What are you thinking? Now I don't know if Ling Xiao did it, so I'm going to ask for someone?" Yang Zhi looked at the Yang family who failed to achieve anything but failed more than once. The more he looked at it, the more upset he became, and he said perfunctorily: " Ling Xiao promised me not to pursue this matter today, maybe he wasn't the one who caught the person. Don't worry, go back and wait. If Granny Wei can't be found tomorrow, I'll try to figure out how to find Ling Xiao."

"Brother! It will be too late to go tomorrow!" Yang said anxiously: "If he tortures Mrs. Wei, I'm afraid she will call all of them. What will happen then? Can Ling Xiao kill me for him? Father’s revenge!”

"Are you afraid now? What did you do before?" Yang Zhi shook off Yang's hand, "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing!"

"Brother, my sister has made a big mistake, is there any use in talking about it now?" Yang wiped away her tears, "Now my sister is only worried about Ling Xiao, the devil incarnate. Not only will he not spare me, but also Chen'er and my brother. Even the young and old of our Yang family, he will not let anyone go."

Yang Zhiqi's heart ached.

How could he not know what Ling Xiao was like?
Arrogant and domineering, he has the temperament of "I will not offend others unless they offend me, but if they offend me, I will kill someone."

If anyone really touches his bottom line, he is really capable of fighting them to the death!
"No matter what, I can't come to ask for someone tonight!" Yang Zhi frowned and said, "You go back now, and I'll send someone out to look for him. If he still can't find it tomorrow morning, I'll go to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion. .”
