Chapter 30: The Sincerity of the Seventh Prince
What Li Xin said was not exactly a witty remark, because the content of his words could have dealt a fatal blow to the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
This time, the behavior of Li Chun, the little marquis of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, had already made Emperor Chengde quite annoyed, although he explained it to the saint, Emperor Chengde still didn't believe him, otherwise this whip would not have been struck.
If at this juncture, Li Xinzhen died at the gate of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, then the Pingnan Hou Mansion will usher in the thunderous wrath of the Chengde Emperor, and although this Hou Mansion may not be destroyed, it will inevitably be hit hard, and it will even collapse above the court.
Madame Jade stood where she was, and took a serious look at the young man who was sick in bed.
More than half a month ago, when Li Xin and his uncle went to the Pingnanhou Mansion to recognize their relatives, Mrs. Yu had seen him, and Li Xin was still cowering at that time, completely like a teenager who had never seen the world.
If she doesn't speak, Li Xin won't speak.
After a while, the Jade Lady of the Pingnan Hou Mansion finally spoke, she looked at Li Xin's face, and said softly: "Whether you are the son of the Hou Ye or not, it was inappropriate for me to let you be driven out of the Hou Mansion in the first place. ”
Li Xin's face was expressionless.
The lady Yu glanced left and right at the house where Li Xin lived, and said softly: "Your residence is too undecent, so you go back to the Hou Mansion with me, and I will arrange a place for you to live, and you will live in the Hou Mansion to recuperate." Wait for the Hou Ye to return to Beijing and recognize your son, you will recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, and become the second son of my Pingnan Hou Mansion, if the Hou Ye does not recognize it, I can also recognize you as a godson, and in the future in the capital, I will also arrange a livelihood for you, today's resentment will disappear, how about it? ”
Mrs. Yu said this, that is, she really wanted to fight with this young man, after the big-character poster incident and this incident, this genuine lady of the Pingnan Hou Mansion found out the terrible thing about the young man in front of her, if there is no need, she doesn't want to make this revenge.
Even if Li Xin is allowed to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, he is only a lowly concubine in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, and it is impossible for him to compete with his son for the title of family property.
Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled, and said: "It's not a secret, it's just a small person from Yongzhou, and there is no blood relationship with the Hou Mansion, when I first came to the capital, there was no place to run, so I thought about finding a big family to pretend to be a son, and I happened to hear that the Hou Ye of the Hou Mansion in Pingnan was not at home, so I went to the Hou Mansion to pretend to go, but I didn't expect to be able to hide it from Mrs. Hui, or to the people of the Hou Mansion to drive out." ”
Madame Jade smiled unnaturally.
"The piece you once took out, the jade plate with the word "Shen" written on it, is indeed Hou Ye's thing, that thing, it is the clan card of the Li clan of Zhaojun, and the men in the clan have a piece. ”
Li Xin smiled indifferently: "It turned out that Mrs. Li was talking about that brand, that brand thing I picked up on the side of the road, and I thought about taking it to the Hou Mansion to deceive people, but then I couldn't hide it, and I thought it was a fake, so I threw it on the side of the road." ”
It wasn't until now that Li Xin didn't know what the jade plaque engraved with the word "Shen" was, although he was not ready to return to the Pingnan Hou Mansion, but he always kept the jade plaque, in order to one day, when he has the ability to stand in front of that scumbag, he will use this "evidence" to ask for an explanation in person.
What Li Xin said, Mrs. Yu obviously didn't believe it, this lady of the Pingnan Hou Mansion took a deep breath, took one last look at Li Xin, and said, "That's it, how you choose is your own business." ”
This time, it was this Mrs. Yu of the Pingnan Hou Mansion who took the initiative to release her kindness to Li Xin, but Li Xin refused without hesitation.
This woman, not long ago, personally sent someone to burn down his house, and Li Xin didn't dare to forget this at all.
Seeing Mrs. Yu turn away, Li Xin reluctantly sat up from the bed and said loudly to Mrs. Yu's back: "Mrs. Li, don't forget the compensation in Xia, otherwise Zai Xia will really hang himself at the gate of the Hou Mansion in the middle of the night!" ”
Mrs. Yu, who had already walked to the courtyard, trembled her body, and was not lightly angered by the young man behind her.
She is usually in the capital, and she can be regarded as a woman with quite means, even if Pingnanhou is not in the capital, no one usually dares to bully Pingnanhou's mansion, she can cope with so many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, but now in the face of a teenage young man, Mrs. Yu actually has a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
However, during this period of time, the Pingnan Hou Mansion had to close its mansion to hide from the limelight, and she couldn't make any more trouble, Li Xin's threat, she really couldn't listen to it as a joke.
After the lady of the Pingnan Hou Mansion walked away, Li Xin slowly sat up from the bed, the wound on his head was only a flesh wound, and it did not affect his movements, the reason why he was lying on the bed just now was just to pretend to be a lady of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
Now that Madam Yu is far away, there is naturally no need for him to nest in bed anymore.
Li Xin sat at the table in the room, poured himself a cup of tea, and then slowly closed his eyes, reliving the events of the past few days in his mind.
Now the problem that Li Xin wants to solve is not the Pingnan Hou Mansion, after the Pingnan Hou Mansion has passed through this matter, there will be no movement for at least two or three months, and the biggest problem in front of Li Xin now is the seventh prince who suddenly revealed his identity.
In the face of the battle for succession, we must be cautious, because if you accidentally stand on the wrong team, it will be a mortal situation, although the seventh prince is good to Li Xin, but Li Xin knows nothing about the seventh prince, he doesn't know what hole cards the seventh prince has in his hand, how many percent of the chance of winning, he doesn't even know what the situation in this court is like.
So he didn't immediately agree to the Seventh Prince.
But this matter can't be dragged on forever, he always has to give an answer to the Seventh Prince.
To be honest, this is a rare opportunity, if he can really help this Seventh Prince sit on the dragon chair, then Li Xin can take advantage of the credit of the Qiandi to become the tallest people standing in one fell swoop, and at that time, Li Xin can look down on or even look down on the Pingnanhou Mansion.
However, this road is undoubtedly extremely difficult, and without knowing anything about the court, Li Xin is not willing to bet easily.
After all, this gamble is a bet with your life.
Just as he was squatting in the house and thinking, there was another knock on the courtyard door of the small courtyard, and Li Xin himself got up and went to open the courtyard door.
At the gate of the courtyard, there stood a tall and bright young woman.
Li Xin smiled at the young woman and said, "Why did Sister Cui leave the Deyi Building today and come to the junior brother?" ”
Cui Jiuniang walked into the courtyard, glanced left and right at the courtyard where Li Xin lived, and then smiled at Li Xin.
"Xiao Langjun, sister this time, I was ordered by my son to send the deed to Xiao Langjun."
Li Xin frowned: "What deed?" ”
Cui Jiuniang took out a few pieces of rice paper full of handwriting from her sleeve, handed them to Li Xin, and smiled gently.
"Xiao Langjun, this is the deed about the proud building, you just need to sign it, and the dry shares of the proud building in the future will be Xiao Langjun's."
Li Xin frowned slightly and glanced at Cui Jiuniang.
"Then what price does the little brother have to pay?"
Cui Jiuniang smiled and said: "This is the sincerity of the son to Xiao Langjun, Xiao Langjun just accepts it, and there is no need for any price." ”
