Chapter 8: Those who hide their clumsiness, only show when they encounter troubles
"This is really..."
When the old lady Liu heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly thanked her. Then she said to Li Ding and Li Huai: "Your uncle is worthy of being an heir of poetry and calligraphy. He is a trustworthy and generous person. Why don't you express your gratitude quickly?"
He glanced at Li Shen and said, "You came to thank me too!"
Li Shen ran over quickly and saluted with his two brothers.
Li Huai also knew how to restrain himself at this time and didn't say anything more. He just handed over the gourd's hand in the same way to prevent extraneous problems.
Wei Jin smiled slightly, and after the three brothers saluted, he said to Mrs. Liu: "I heard that Erlang is suffering from a bone condition, so he has not shown up today. I wonder if he will get better?"
Mr. Liu forced a smile, nodded and said, "It's slightly improved."
Wei Jin did not ask further questions, but turned to look at Li Huai and said, "You are Erlang's direct brother, and you will share a lot of responsibility in the future. Since you said you want to change your past, I will watch your words and deeds in the future, and don't forget it."
.”
"Xuan Qing, keep this in mind!" Li Huai quickly saluted and said, comparing what the other party said during the first week, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's getting late. Madam, go and have a rest early. Xuan Qing, you should also go and prepare. You will be very busy in the future. I will entrust Ruxi to you. Don't let her down in the future!" Wei Jin warned carefully.
, Li Huai nodded repeatedly, and as he spoke, the old bachelor changed his subject, "From what you said, I really know everything about that pavilion. When you start a family and start a business in the future, you have to be responsible. You shouldn't go there again, remember?"
"His eyes were full of meaning.
Li Huai solemnly agreed on the surface, but secretly murmured in his heart, you are the real veteran driver during the week. Why did you turn around and talk about me instead? How could I know this if it weren't for your explanation?
Dao Dao? What an injustice!
I just think so in my heart, but I can't say it out loud, so I can only nod in agreement.
Over there, Ms. Liu ordered her servants to prepare lunch, while Wei Jin waved her hand.
"There are still some things to be busy in the mansion, and the Marquis Mansion is also busy. I have said everything that needs to be said, and I have heard everything that needs to be heard. In that case, I won't bother you anymore," Wei Jin saw the old lady asking
To persuade him to stay, he shook his head and said, "The things in front of us are complicated, and there is still a lot to do. When the big things are settled, our two families will have plenty of time to sit down and have a drink."
The old lady could only give up and send her off in person.
Wei Jinze said: "I came here this time, deliberately keeping a low profile to hide from others. If my sister-in-law is seeing me off, it will be exposed. I can just leave by myself."
When the back of the old bachelor disappeared outside the door, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief. Then she glared at Li Huai and scolded: "What a good thing you did! If it weren't for the generosity of the in-laws, it would have been a disaster!"
"I...uh," Li Huai glared at him from the old lady. He followed his memory and said, "My son has realized his mistake. He will definitely change his ways from now on! He has also sincerely regretted it these past two days!" He knew that it was useless to refute at this time.
, Besides, the crisis has passed, why don't you let the old lady scold you a few words to calm your mood? It's just that I'm still not used to this title.
Li Dong tried to dissuade him: "Mother, the seventh brother made it clear just now that he was framed and he has made an oath to hurt him. Don't blame him. After all, the wedding is coming soon, so let him prepare early..."
The old lady listened, frowned, looked at Li Huai, and wanted to say more. At this time, a servant hurried from the back hall and shouted before entering the room: "Old lady, it's not good, Mr. Marquis,
Lord Marquis, he vomited blood again!"
"Ah!" The old lady's expression suddenly changed, "My dear! What should I do?" After saying that, she ignored Li Huai and got up and left with the help of the maid. When she reached the door, she turned around and said:
"You continue to go back and think about your mistakes, but don't delay the preparations for the wedding!" After saying this, he was already outside the door.
Taking a deep breath, Li Huai stood up straight, took a deep breath, and glanced at the pale Li Shen.
"Seventh brother, now that you have made your words clear, you should behave yourself in the future." Li Dong warned.
Li Huai nodded and said, "If nothing happens here, I will go back first."
"Go back over there." Li Dong said, looking aside, "Qiao Huyuan, escort my brother back."
"Don't worry, Third Master." Qiao Qi immediately followed, then followed Li Huai with his head lowered, his attitude was quite respectful.
Li Huai and others walked to the door. As if they remembered something, they turned around and said, "Come on, maknae, let's go back."
Li Shen was leaning against the corner and pacing cautiously. Hearing this, he was agitated and wanted to refuse. However, seeing Li Huai's expression that looked like a smile but not a smile, he finally did not dare to say anything.
——————
On the other side, Wei Jin and Wei Xing left the Dingxiang Hou Mansion through the back door and got into their carriage.
Wei Xing closed the car door and closed the car curtain. After sitting down, he couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, is what Li Huai said true?"
"What do you think?" Wei Jin asked back.
Wei Xing hesitated and said: "It doesn't sound like it's fake to me, it's just..."
"I just feel that Li Huai used to be a famous playboy, how could he suddenly become so shrewd?" Wei Xing stroked his beard gently.
"That's right." Wei Xing frowned and said, "I don't agree with this marriage at first. What a person this girl is, but she wants to marry a dude. It's not just me. There are many objections in the family. If it weren't for Li
If you're not good at it, that dude will inherit the title sooner or later, and your family has long been opposed to it."
Wei Jin half-squinted his eyes and said: "If you just look at it, Li Huai really has nothing to praise except for his face. The only value to my Wei family is that sooner or later, he will become Dingxiang Marquis. Li Huai will be
Hou, if you are like the wife of the Hou family, you will get the royal decree sooner or later, and you will be able to help the Wei family."
Wei Xing heard the smell and asked, "What about now?"
"Now it seems that Li Huai is not the same." Wei Jin said with a chuckle.
Wei Xing asked again: "So, what he said is true?"
"After the incident, I noticed something was wrong, so I sent people to investigate. I found Li Huai's two friends and interrogated them. They had some influence in their family, but if they could be instigated, they could be questioned by me. There were also the two wives.
The same is true for students. If you make insinuations, there will always be traces." Wei Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"So, Li Huai got it right. He was really right?" Wei Xing couldn't help but be surprised, but then he shook his head, "No, how can a dude have such ability? Someone must have given guidance and informed him in advance."
"I thought so, but I also felt that 80% of it was Li Huai's own." Wei Jin opened his eyes, his gaze blazing, "I only found out by sending someone to investigate. If he hadn't thought about it himself, how could it be possible?"
Predicting the unknown? By relying on calculations, we can reach a general and unique conclusion. This kind of thinking ability is indeed extraordinary."
"How can uncle be sure that he got it himself?"
Wei Jin asked back, "Didn't you notice the appearance of another Li family member in the room?"
"There is another person?" Wei Xing recalled for a moment, "The youngest of the Li family? Li Shen?"
"Exactly, when I asked about it, Li Huai once mentioned that he was depressed at home, and someone deliberately found an opportunity to lure him out of the Hou Mansion, but did not name him." Wei Jin looked at his nephew, "How can he be kept under tight guard?"
Who can lead people out of the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Li Shen?" Wei Jin's heart brightened after recalling, "Li Shen did have a different expression just now. I thought it was because the Li family knew that he was in the wrong. But if so, why didn't Li Huai expose him on the spot?"
"This is why I feel that Li Huai saw through this matter personally. After all, this matter is a family matter of the Hou Mansion. It is normal that they don't want to make it public." Wei Jin withdrew his gaze and changed the topic, "Dingxiang Hou Mansion has quite a lot of people.
The origin is that it occupies a vast area, has many servants, and is full of people coming and going. It is absolutely impossible for one person to escape unnoticed."
Wei Xing said in confusion: "Isn't Li Huai going out?"
Wei Jin shook his head: "If you go out, it may not be because no one saw you. It may be because no one reported it and you did it deliberately."
"Uncle, are you saying that there is someone behind Li Shen, or that someone from the Li family is deliberately planning to deal with Li Huai?" Wei Xing came to his senses, "For the title?"
Wei Jin nodded slightly, showing appreciation: "Li Erlang is seriously ill and will not recover. The title will naturally fall on his younger brother, but the old Marquis has ten sons. Even if two have passed away, there are still eight left.
Panting, if Li Chang goes and Li Huai attacks the prince, what will the remaining six do? How can we be willing to do so?"
Wei Xing said: "So, we have to remind Li Huai and even help him to ensure that he can get the title. After all, at this time, the matter becomes more dangerous. If he fails to inherit the title, then I
Why should my sister marry him?"
Wei Jin smiled half-heartedly and said, "After today, do you still look down on Li Huai?"
Wei Xing was startled and frowned: What if he is not the prodigal son turning back, but someone is behind him..."
"If there is an expert behind him, there is no need to worry." Wei Jin narrowed his eyes, "If there is no one, just look at his methods today. He will lead but not start, plan and then move. Keeping Li Shen, obviously he wants to use both kindness and power to pull out the people behind his back.
Man, this kind of thoughts are not what a prodigal son would have when he turns around. He has obviously been hiding his clumsiness, or because his brother's days are short, he has to show it."
Wei Xing was a little unbelievable: "Why do I feel that Li Qilang doesn't seem to be such a thoughtful person?"
"Not to mention you, I was almost deceived by him, but whether it was true or not remains to be seen in the future." As Wei Jin spoke, he opened a corner of the curtain and peeked slightly, "If he has the ability, the future will be difficult to control.
But it can help after all. I heard that something happened in your yamen recently."
Wei Xing was immediately troubled and said: "There are two more madnesses. I don't know why. There have been more and more in the past few days."
"That's it," Wei Jin lowered the curtains, "The officials have heard about this and may ask about it. Then it won't be easy to deal with it. You still need help."
