Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin also knew that his performance was a bit too much, he slowly opened his eyes and sat up again.

"Who is this lady?"

Madam Yu's face was calm: "I am Li Zheng, the mistress of Marquis Pingnan. In the daytime yesterday, the dog was ignorant and hurt the young master. Now I come here to apologize to the young master. I hope we can turn the war into friendship..."

Madam Yu's words were expressionless.

Li Xin was half lying on the bed, and interrupted the words of the lady of Pingnan Hou's mansion unceremoniously.

"Mrs. Li, I don't want to say more. This matter should come to an end here. It's just that I was injured by your son and is bedridden. Shouldn't your government give me some compensation?"

Madam Yu exhaled slowly.

"What do you want, son?"

Li Xin squinted his eyes and chuckled: "Of course I want money, as for how much... I'm from the countryside, I haven't seen the world, so the Hou Mansion will just give it to me."

Having said that, Li Xin added with a smile.

"If the compensation from the Hou Mansion doesn't satisfy me, I'll go buy a hemp rope and take advantage of the dark and windy night..."

"Hanging at the gate of the Hou Mansion!"

Chapter 30 Seventh Young Master's Sincerity

What Li Xin said was not entirely a joke, because the content of his words was entirely likely to cause a fatal blow to the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

This time, the behavior of Li Chun, the young master of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, has already annoyed the Emperor Chengde. Even though he explained it to the saint, the Emperor Chengde still did not believe him, otherwise the whip would not have been beaten. .

If Li Xinzhen died at the gate of the Pingnanhou Mansion at this juncture, then the Pingnanhou Mansion would usher in the thunderous wrath of Emperor Chengde. It is bound to be hit hard, and it will even collapse in the court.

Madam Yu stood where she was, and took a serious look at the sick young man.

More than half a month ago, when Li Xin and his uncle went to Pingnanhou Mansion to meet their relatives, Madam Yu had seen him. In just over half a month, this young man seems to have been completely reborn, which made Mrs. Yu a little confused.

She didn't speak, and Li Xin also didn't speak.

After a while, Madam Yu from the Pingnan Hou's Mansion finally spoke. She looked at Li Xin's face and said softly, "Whether you are the son of Lord Hou or not, when I asked you to be driven out of the Hou's mansion, I would Something is wrong."

Li Xin was expressionless.

The Madam Yu looked around at the house where Li Xin lived, and said softly: "Your residence is too ugly, so let's go back to the Marquis Mansion with me, and I will arrange a residence for you. I lived in the Hou's mansion to recuperate with peace of mind. When Lord Hou returns to Beijing and recognizes you as a son, you will recognize your ancestor and return to your clan and become the second son of my Pingnan Hou's mansion. If Master Hou doesn't recognize you, I can recognize you too. Be a godson, and I will arrange a job for you in the capital in the future, and today's resentment will disappear, how about it?"

Madam Yu said this because she really wanted to turn hostility into friendship with this young man. After the big-character poster incident and this incident, the official wife of the Pingnan Hou Mansion discovered the frightening nature of the young man in front of her. If it's not necessary, she doesn't want to make this enmity.

Even if Li Xin is allowed to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan, he is only a humble son in Pingnanhou's mansion, and it is impossible to compete with his son for the title of family property.

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm just a small person from Yongzhou, and I have no blood relationship with the Hou family. When I first came to the capital that day, I didn't have a place to go. I just wanted to find a rich family to pretend to be A son happened to hear that Lord Hou of the Pingnan Hou Mansion was not at home, so he went to the Hou Mansion to pretend to be, but he was kicked out by the people of the Hou Mansion because he couldn't hide it from his wife's eyes."

Madam Yu smiled unnaturally.

"The jade plaque with the word "Shen" written on it that you took out is indeed the property of Lord Hou. That thing is the family plaque of the Li family in Zhaojun, and every man in the clan has one."

Li Xin smiled indifferently: "It turns out that Madam Li was talking about that brand. I picked up that brand on the side of the road. I wanted to take it to the Hou's Mansion to deceive people, but I couldn't hide it later. I thought it was a piece of paper. The counterfeit is just thrown on the side of the road.”

Until now, Li Xin didn't know what the jade plaque engraved with the word "Shen" was. Although he didn't plan to return to Pingnanhou's Mansion, he kept that jade plaque all the time, so that one day, When he is able to stand in front of that scumbag father, he will use this "evidence" to discuss an explanation in person.

Mrs. Yu obviously didn't believe what Li Xin said. The lady of the Pingnan Hou Mansion took a deep breath, took a last look at Li Xin, and said, "Forget it, how you choose is your own business."

This time, it was Mrs. Yu from the Pingnan Hou Mansion who took the initiative to express her kindness to Li Xin, but Li Xin refused without hesitation.

Not long ago, this woman personally sent someone to burn down his house. Li Xin did not dare to forget this.

Seeing Madam Yu turn around and leave, Li Xin barely sat up on the bed, and said loudly to Madam Yu's back: "Mrs. Li, don't forget the compensation, otherwise I will really hang myself in the middle of the night in Hou At the gate of the mansion!"

Mrs. Yu, who had already walked into the yard, trembled, feeling very angry at the young man behind her.

She is usually in the capital, and she can be regarded as a woman with a lot of means. Even if Pingnanhou is not in the capital, no one would dare to bully Pingnanhou's mansion. She can handle so many dignitaries in the capital, but now Facing a teenage boy, Madam Yu felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

However, during this period of time, the Marquis of Pingnan had to close the mansion to hide from the limelight, and nothing could happen again. Li Xin's threat, she really couldn't take it as a joke.

After the lady of the Pingnan Hou Mansion left, Li Xin slowly sat up from the bed. The wound on his head was only a flesh wound, which did not affect his actions. The reason why he was lying on the bed just now was just to put on a show , just pretending to show to the wife of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

Now that Madam Yu is gone, there is no need for him to lie on the bed anymore.

Li Xin sat at the table in the room, poured himself a cup of tea, then slowly closed his eyes, and went through the events of the past few days in his mind.

The problem that Li Xin wants to solve now is not the Pingnanhou Mansion. After this incident, there will be no more movement in the Pingnanhou Mansion for at least two or three months. The biggest problem facing Li Xin now is The Seventh Young Master who suddenly revealed his identity.

Facing the battle for the heir apparent, you must be cautious, because if you accidentally stand on the wrong team, it will be a fatal situation. Although the seventh prince is good to Li Xin, Li Xin knows nothing about the seventh prince. He didn't know what hole cards the Seventh Prince had in his hand, and how likely he was to win. He didn't even know what the situation in the court was like.

So he didn't agree to the Seventh Prince immediately.

But this matter can't be dragged on forever, he always has to give the Seventh Prince an answer.

To be honest, this is a rare opportunity. If you can really help the Seventh Prince to sit on the Dragon Throne, then Li Xin can take advantage of the merits of the Qian Mansion and become the top few standing in one fell swoop. At that time, Li Xin You can even look down at the Pingnanhou Mansion.

However, this road is undoubtedly extremely difficult and dangerous. Li Xin is not willing to place a bet easily without knowing anything about the court.

After all, this gamble is to bet with one's life.

While he was squatting in the room thinking, the door of the small courtyard was knocked again, and Li Xin got up himself, and went to open the 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 is sister Cui so free to leave Deyilou today and come to my younger brother?"

Cui Jiuniang stepped into the courtyard, looked around at the courtyard where Li Xin lived, and then smiled at Li Xin.

"Xiao Langjun, this time, my sister is following the order of the young master to deliver the deed to Xiao Langjun."

Li Xin frowned: "What contract?"

Cui Jiuniang took out a few pieces of rice paper full of handwriting from her sleeve, handed it in front of Li Xin, and smiled gently.

"Xiao Langjun, this is a deed about Deyilou. You only need to sign it, and [-]% of the shares in Deyilou will belong to Xiaolang."

Li Xin frowned slightly, and glanced at Cui Jiuniang.

"Then what price will the younger brother have to pay?"

Cui Jiuniang smiled and said: "This is the sincerity that the young master gave to Xiao Langjun. Xiao Langjun just accepts it and doesn't need any price."

Chapter 31 Weighing

Deyilou is the largest brothel along the Qinhuai River. Although the name of the brothel industry is not very nice, it is one of the most profitable industries. In this era, there is no such business as oil. In the entire capital, except for the bank, I am afraid that This brothel is the most profitable.

The seventh prince, Ji Wen, is a prince, so precious, even he secretly opened such a brothel by the Qinhuai River, which shows the huge profits of this industry.
