Pampered and fierce wife: Reborn daughter-in-law has a strategy

"It was Zhu who played a time lag. After Li Chun's grandfather passed away, she moved Grandma Chu's tablet away. From my father's reaction, we can know that he always believed that Zhu was his biological mother. So for a , the person who occupied the position of his mother's original wife, his father didn't care about her existence at all, and before Li Chun's grandfather passed away, he probably had no chance to tell his father about his life experience. Li Chun's grandfather thought that Zhu would treat his father well and would Worship Grandma Chu properly. Dad thinks that Mrs. Zhu is his biological mother, so he doesn’t care whether Grandma Chu’s tablet goes or stays at all. Due to such a strange combination of circumstances, Grandma Chu has become the secret that cannot be told. "

Peng Qiongyu analyzed.

Li Xinran nodded: "It makes sense, but how can we tell dad that Zhu is not his biological mother? Returning to the border this time is a matter of life and death. If Zhu does something in Kyoto, dad won't know, or dad If we were tricked by her, we would regret it deeply."

Peng Qiongyu thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any good solution. He could only sigh and said: "Let's wait and see. There is no witness, so it's hard to tell."

Li Xinran thought about it carefully and agreed to the suggestion.

The brother and sister then went about their business.

Emperor Chu Hui did not give him much time to prepare, and he was about to leave at midnight. During this period, Peng Qiongyu met the woman named Haitang several times, even though Peng Qiongyu clearly told Haitang that he had not seen her jade pendant at all. Haitang is still like a ghost, often appearing in places where Peng Qiongyu appears.

And Haitang's whereabouts finally attracted Li Yang's attention.

"Bitch!" Li Yang slapped Haitang on the face, and his anger was visible to the naked eye.His facial features were a little out of place because of anger, "Did you see that I failed and wanted to please that glorious young General Peng! Ah!"

Haitang covered her face and cried like falling red rain, which made people feel pity, but Li Yang only had the anger of betrayal on his face.

"No, sir, I don't have it." Seeing that she had stopped crying, Haitang said, "I dropped my jade pendant there. When I went back to look for it, I happened to see Master Peng leaving. I thought he had picked it up. Concubine's jade pendant, so I asked regardless of my face, I didn't betray the master, no."

"Jade pendant? That jade pendant you treat like a treasure?" Li Yang frowned and asked hesitantly.

Haitang nodded, her frail and boneless appearance particularly aroused the desire for protection in men.Li Yang looked at Haitang's weak appearance, and most of his anger disappeared. He knew that Haitang's jade pendant, which was like a treasure, was the only thing left to her by her mother. Li Yang had seen it before, and when he took a look, he found that the quality was very poor, and there was nothing. The desire to make people pick it up and look at it carefully.

Li Yang nodded: "Bring more people with you when you look for her. It's not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone." As he said that, he opened his hands and motioned for Haitang to change his clothes.

Haitang lowered her head to hide the resentment in her eyes, walked over obediently, and took off Li Yang's coat.

After several "accidental encounters" were rejected, Haitang planned to find another way. After all, if they could not win over Peng Qiongyu, they would go to the border.

At this time, Peng Qiongyu and Li Xinran were also very anxious. They were about to go to the border. Zhu's matter had not been resolved yet.

Even Zhao Zhongren and Wang Zhongren did not get any useful information. The extremely disappointed Li Xinran could only let them go back. However, in order to prevent them from betraying themselves, Li Xinran fed them both pills called "poison" , threatening them that if he knew that any information was leaked, they would bleed to death.

Now, Li Xinran even thought pessimistically that the disappeared Qiaoer might have disappeared from the world long ago, and the secrets in her heart would never have a chance to be revealed.

At this time, the eldest princess invited Li Xinran to be a guest at the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

Although Li Xinran was confused, he did not refuse the invitation from the eldest princess.

It was still the familiar flower hall, and Li Xinran felt that he was almost as familiar with Zhenguo General's Mansion as his home.

After paying homage to the eldest princess, the eldest princess asked everyone to leave. Suddenly, only Li Xinran and the eldest princess were left in the flower hall.

"Do you know who was responsible for clearing the streets when the late emperor went hunting in the south?"

Seeing the hint that was about to be written on the face of the eldest princess, Li Xinran smiled slightly: "What...Princess An Yi?"

"That's right," the eldest princess gave a high-five, "Anyi is the kindest person. If Qiaoer hits her hand, he might survive. The situation is not good recently, otherwise I will contact Tang Shangshu and see. I don’t know if he understands this.”

"Then why did the eldest princess call her servant here?" Li Xinran asked hesitantly.

The eldest princess suddenly showed a complicated expression: "I asked you to come, mainly because there is someone who wants to see you."

In Li Xinran's doubts, the eldest princess took her into a secret passage.

In the dark secret passage, there was only a faint light at the end, and the cool feeling came over, making people shiver unconsciously.

Although the eldest princess is already very old, she did not bring anyone with her when entering this secret passage. Li Xinran could only support the eldest princess.

"Who?" an old and hoarse voice sounded. Although it was a question, there was not much doubt in the tone.

"Qingyuan, it's me." The eldest princess said.

"Aunt? Say hello to aunt." Xiang Qingyuan fumbled to salute the eldest princess, but the eldest princess took two quick steps to support her.

"Xinran, come and see the prince." The eldest princess helped Xiang Qingyuan sit down and turned to Li Xinran and said.

Li Xinran looked at the old man in front of him, with shock that could not be concealed in his eyes. It was rumored that the former prince who was killed in the rebellion, Xiang Qingyuan!This news was even more shocking than seeing Xiang Qingyuan's appearance.

"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Xinran knelt down on one knee and saluted with clasped fists.

Under the flickering firelight, Xiang Qingyuan's sunken eye sockets looked particularly terrifying.

He followed the sound and "looked over", and his gravelly voice let out a hoarse laugh: "Is this the daughter of the Li Song family?"

Li Xinran lowered his head slightly: "Back to His Royal Highness, yes."

"Aunt, my nephew wants to talk to this little girl alone." Xiang Qingyuan turned his head and "looked" in the direction of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess nodded and signaled to Li Xinran that there was no need to send her away, and she slowly left the secret passage bit by bit.

Li Xinran stayed alone with Xiang Qingyuan. Although there were a lot of warm things in the cellar, especially the carpets on the floor, it was still underground after all, and it felt cold at all.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Xiang Qingyuan turned to Li Xinran.

"Back to Your Highness, my little girl has lived in the border area since she was a child. She has had her head chopped off by Xirong herself. She is different from ordinary Kyoto girls." Li Xinran replied gently and calmly.

"Hahahahaha," Xiang Qingyuan laughed, "It's different from other noble ladies, that's all."

He changed the topic: "Did you cut off your head in the previous life, or in this life?"
