Taisu County, Li House.

The window of Li Chengye's study is facing a plum tree, and because the window is half open, bursts of plum fragrance waft in.

A stack of account books was placed on the bookcase, and Li Chengye, who was dressed in civilian clothes, worked diligently surrounded by this faint fragrance.

After a while, he finished sorting out the books, stretched slightly, and when he raised his cup, he found that the tea had been drunk.

"Mei Xiang!" put the cup down, and Li Chengye called out the door.

"Young Master, what do you command?" After a while, a young girl in a light pink dress walked in from the outside, bowing her head slightly and saying.

This woman has very white skin, a very slender figure, and a very thin waist, just looking at the past, it will make people's eyes shine, and only hang her head, and show a cloud of temples beautifully. Although it is not beautiful, it has a unique style.

Li Chengye stared at this woman for a moment, as if he remembered something, then frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The tea is gone, and you don't know how to come in and add water?" ”

"No. The maid Meixiang responded in a low voice, was reprimanded, with a little timidity on her face, picked up the teacup and walked out, only took a few steps, and was called by Li Chengye from behind.

"Wait! ”

"No!" still responded gently, and the maid Meixiang stepped on small steps and quickly retreated.

Looking at this female figure, Li Chengye couldn't help but squint his eyes.

He can't say anything bad about this woman's impression, this woman's fresh temperament, gentle speech, and well-behaved words and deeds make him still like it a little, but there is a little mustard, so that he has not been close to this woman.

To say, this woman's background is also innocent, usually surnamed Ge is docile, cautious, and very respectful to him, there seems to be nothing suspicious.

Li Chengye always felt that this woman was not simple.

The maids in his yard were all bought and given by his stepmother, and if the other party would not do anything about it, he would not believe it.

The other maids, he found the weakness and sent them out one after another, but this woman always made it difficult for him to have a seizure.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was something wrong.

After a while, the door was opened again, and the maid Mei Xiang returned, holding a tray of new tea, fruits, and snacks in her hand, which was very full.

A few dim sum items are carefully placed on the table, small and cute, and it makes people move their fingers at a glance. The tea cup is also placed on the table.

Li Chengye then picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, which melted in his mouth, which was very delicious, but not greasy at all, only a faint floral fragrance into his throat.

Close your eyes and savor it, sweet but not greasy, soft and delicious...... It is indeed a very rare craft, and he was really surprised that this dim sum was so delicious.

"Huh, this is a snack...... Who did it?" Li Chengye couldn't help but ask.

saw Mei Xiang bowing slightly, and replied: "Young master, this snack is made by the slave!"

"What did you do?" This made Li Chengye a little surprised, he looked Mei Xiang up and down, nodded and said, "Well, the taste is acceptable, and the others ...... You take it down. ”

"Young Master?" Unexpectedly, Li Chengye reacted like this, and the girl suddenly raised her head and looked at him in surprise.

Li Chengye smiled and said: "Send it to Mrs. to taste, as a son, you should be filial to her if you have such good food, go ahead." ”

Mei Xiang lowered her head and said obediently, "No." ”

When she left with a snack, Li Chengye snorted coldly, stood up, stood in front of the window, and looked at the light powder towards the main house, Li Chengye's hands clenched violently, and then loosened, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but float a sneer.

"Yes, there is something that my father needs to ask you. This time, Li Chengye was called to the study by his father again, and as soon as he entered, Li Cunyi said these words with a dignified face.

Li Chengye lowered his head and said, "Please make it clear to my father." ”

Li Cunyi stood up, walked back and forth in the room, stopped in front of his son, and asked, "Ye'er, do you know that there is something about the inheritance of the great clan that must not be negligent?"

"Father is saying...... Heir?" Li Chengye somewhat understood.

Li Cunyi nodded and said, "Exactly, how important this heir is to you and the Li family, presumably, you don't need to say it for your father, you should also understand, right?"

"Yes. Li Chengye's eyes flickered, and he pursed his thin lips.

"This should not have been a father to remind you, but you have lost your mother since you were a child, and this matter must have been ill-considered, thinking that you are the eldest son of my Li family, and now you are in an important position, how can you only have one wife? If you can have children only by relying on them, it will be enough, and now, after so long, there are still no children...... Ye'er, as the hope of the Li family, you can't have a surname. In the last sentence, Li Cunyi is already serious.

Li Chengye's mouth was a little dry, but he could only say respectfully: "It's my son's fault." ”

"It's good if you know your mistakes, I know that you have been married for less than two years, and it is the time when you are a teenager and you ignore others, which is also in common sense, but you are the eldest son of the Li family, but you can't continue to grow up with children, so let's do it, if at the end of the year, your wife has no news of heirs, and your father will make decisions for you, marry a flat wife who can give birth and raise back, this matter, you have a psychological preparation first, and when the time comes, you must not let your surname do it. Do you know that although the ability of this great family inheritance is important, whether the heir is prosperous or not is also the selection criterion. Li Cunyi and his son looked directly at each other and said the above words.

"Yes, my son understands. Li Chengye bowed his head in response, seeing this, Li Cunyi nodded with satisfaction and let him out.

When Li Chengye came out of his father's study, the palms of his two hands were already piercing with blood.

In fact, Li Chengye is not a bad woman, but in this incident, if there is no stepmother's shadow, he doesn't believe it at all.

This woman is really good, she can tell her father three times and twice, blowing the wind next to the pillow, and making herself embarrassed.

I really married a flat wife, but I am afraid that there will be no peace in the back house, and she must participate in this flat wife candidate.

This matter is only forbearance, and when he obtains the power of the Li family, see what kind of storm this woman can make!

When he returned to his courtyard and saw his wife, Li Chengye had a gloomy face and stared at him for a long time.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that her husband was in a bad mood, Wang Jieting stepped forward, stroked his cheek, and asked softly.

"Ah!" Then she was suddenly picked up by Li Chengye and suddenly screamed.

"Husband, what are you going to do, it's not dark yet......" Seeing Li Chengye holding her and striding towards the bedroom, she was suddenly shocked and ashamed, and said hurriedly.

"Madam, I want an heir, you give me an heir!" Li Chengye put her into the account, and then regardless of her objections, the people also poured in, and the account curtain hung down, blocking the boundless spring inside.

This night, Li Chengye was more rude than usual, and he showed no mercy between actions.

Knowing that Li Chengye was in a bad mood, she could only try to be patient, only after he fell asleep, Wang Jieting lay on his side on his face, and Fang shed two lines of tears.

The next day, Li Chengye summoned Zhou Zhu and discussed things with him.

Zhou Zhu listened, pondered for a moment, and said, "This is because of the anxious noise in Li Gong's heart, but it is not all the wind on the side of the lady's pillow. ”

"The lord thinks about it, the situation is delicate now, the Li family is up and down in the line of success or failure, Li Gong is under this pressure, of course, his heart is anxious, and he is naturally a little dissatisfied and tempered with the lord. ”

"I know this, but how to solve this matter?" Li Chengye understood that he was pinned on great hopes, but after he became a leader, there was not much bright spot to speak of, but he got into some trouble, which naturally made his father hesitate and dissatisfied.

Li Chengye didn't know that the situation in his previous life was very good, he first broke Jishui County, and then Taisu County, proving his luck and talent, Li Cunyi is naturally heavy, and no pillow wind can blow, so he passed the Li family to him.

Now that nothing has been accomplished, it is natural that he will have a different attitude, and many of the Li family's resources have not been transferred to him, which can be regarded as one of the changes brought about by the historical turn.

Zhou Zhu thought for a while and said: "For today's plan, it is to wait for the holy decree to come back, this matter is sent by the lord, if it can be done, Duke Li will definitely take it a little harder, and will not interfere with the lord everywhere." ”

As for this Mei Xiang, the lord actually doesn't have to hesitate, just send it back, just say that there are not many people around Madame, and give it to Madame to serve. ”

Li Chengye nodded and said, "What Mr. Zhou said is that with you, I feel a lot more at ease." ”

At this moment, several people hurriedly came in, kowtowed, and said, "My lord, the messenger sent to Jinling has returned, and he has already invited the holy decree." ”

Li Chengye was immediately overjoyed and stood up: "Where? ”

At this time, in the main courtyard of the Li Mansion, in a side hall, a woman whispered, but suddenly a loud slap sounded.

"Mei Xiang, Madame has given you so much time, and you repay Madame like this?But don't forget, your deed of sale is still in Madame's hands, and several of your younger brothers and sisters are in Madame's hands......" The middle-aged woman scolded in a low voice, accompanied by the girl's low cry.

"You little slut, do you dare to cry? Mrs. is not thin on you, she lost money to your gambling father, took care of your younger brothers and sisters for you, and arranged a new identity for you, don't be content, if you don't do things well for your wife, you will ......have a second heart," the middle-aged woman said here, and paused.

The girl screamed miserably, but she was quickly covered by someone, and she couldn't make a sound: "You little slut, you dare to call out......"

At this moment, a maid came in in a hurry, and seemed to say something in the account.

At this time, there was a move in the tent, calling the middle-aged woman to come in, and after the middle-aged woman entered, she glanced at the maid and sneered: "Was sent back to serve?"

came out again, went out, and after a while, a few people came in, some people held down Mei Xiang's head and feet, and some people poured wine into her mouth, and Mei Xiang was already unconscious in a moment.

"What should I do, don't I need to say?

Several servants said: "We are all people who followed Miss to the Li family, and we won't do that sorry Miss thing, Manager Wei, you can rest assured." ”

"That's fine, throw her into the lake while no one is looking, and it's over. Clapping his hands, Steward Wei said again: "And in this Li Mansion, you have to call Miss Madame, don't forget this." ”

"The little one remembered. Several people said they understood, and then picked up Mei Xiang and walked out.

Three days later, someone in the lake, found the body of the missing maid, after the inspection, found that it was after drinking and fell into the water, but was afraid of touching the owner's head, so he hurriedly buried the matter.
