Wealth and glory seek stability

"Did you find out?"

Jian Xi sat down and looked at Mo Chuan, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and was a little surprised. "I rarely see you hesitant like this."

Mo Chuan's face looked a little unnatural. He was a monk, who would have thought that he would encounter such a thing when he went out to inquire about things. He glanced at Chu Lu who was standing beside him.

"My Lord is asking you a question, why are you looking at me?"

"Would you like to step aside for a moment?"

"Why should I avoid it? I won't. It's up to you to say it or not." Chu Lu crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking dissatisfied.

Seeing Mo Chuan's behavior, Jian Xi guessed something and thought that the Tao family's secret was probably not glorious. "All of you please sit down. This is not your home. Keep your voice down."

The two sat down.

Mo Chuan rubbed the clothes on the front of his thighs with his hands, looking a little restrained. Chu Lu rolled her eyes at Mo Chuan, picked up the kettle on the stove and poured a glass of water for everyone.

"I just saw the eldest son of the Tao family in the backyard with a woman..."

Chu Lu picked up the teacup, put it to her mouth and took a sip.

Mo Chuan continued, "Uninvited adultery."

"Puff!" Chu Lu spat out a mouthful of water. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and turned around at the speed of light, so the tea did not spray onto the table.

Jian Xi was embarrassed, "Mo Chuan, even though you are a monk, you should use more elegant words."

After Mo Chuan said this, he suddenly felt relieved. After all, he was not the one who did this. "I heard people call that woman Miss. After asking around, I found out that she was the woman who took the place of the master, Tao Leying."

There is too much information.

Although Tao Letu and his adopted sister have no actual blood relationship, they are siblings in name only.

Jian Xi's mouth was a little dry, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. "Where did you see them?"

"I was asking around with the servants of the Tao family in the backyard when I saw the eldest son of the Tao family enter a courtyard. Although the courtyard was small, it was very elegant. I followed him out of curiosity.

I didn't expect to see him rolling on the bed with a woman, so I withdrew. But within two quarters of an hour, I saw the eldest son of the Tao family coming out of that yard and entering the backyard where the head of the Tao family was. "This time, Mo Chuan's story was more detailed.

Chu Lu was amazed when she heard this. "The eldest son of the Tao family you are talking about is the Tao Lechu who looked like a decent man that we saw before?"

Mo Chuan glanced at her and said, "Who else could it be except him? I have heard that there are many dirty things in this big family. I am a monk, and now I have seen it."

Jian Xi frowned. With such a family tradition, it was no wonder that the servants were so lazy. "How about asking you about other situations?"

Mo Chuan straightened himself up, "The Tao family is a family of poetry and etiquette, and they attach great importance to etiquette. Tao Lechu, the eldest son of the Tao family, is old-fashioned and upright. He married the daughter of the famous Jiang family in Guangling. Jiang is gentle and virtuous. They have been married for many years and have only one daughter. Even the concubines have no children.

The second son, Tao Lejiao, has a volatile personality and has not yet married. He has been appointed as the governor of Guangling and is in charge of military affairs, but his political achievements are mediocre. As for the head of the Tao family, Tao Ran, he has been focusing on his sick wife for many years and has not paid much attention to the discipline of his son. "

Jian Xi understood that this was the sick mother, the infatuated father, the disappointing son and the compromising herself.

This family really got together.

It's a pity for her sister-in-law, she looks like a normal person.

"What about Tao Leying?"

"I only heard that she lives a secluded life and rarely causes trouble. Madam Lu has instructed us not to treat her harshly, so Tao Lechu takes good care of this sister." Mo Chuan curled his lips. He even takes care of her in bed, doesn't that mean he is taking good care of her?

Jian Xi was speechless.

People in the city really play around. It's a pity that Mrs. Lu has to worry about what happened back then for her whole life, while the daughter of the culprit is living in wealth and luxury in the mansion, and the original owner lost her life because of Li, which meant two lives were lost.

No wonder Tao Letu remained so calm when he heard the news of his mother's death. He was mourning in the mourning hall the moment before, and then he turned around and went to find the culprit's daughter to have fun.

"I'm going to meet Tao Leying." Jian Xi stood up, having made up her mind.

If she was forced here by Tao Lechu, she would not make things difficult for this poor woman.

If it was voluntary, Jane Xi squeezed the purse around her waist with her fingertips, then she would have to seek justice for Lu Feiman.

Mo Chuan led the way in front, while Chu Lu was left in the house by Jian Xi to look after Tao Qianqian.

Orange grove.

Jian Xi looked at the name of the courtyard and felt it was a bit ironic.

Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while oranges grown in the north of the Huai River are tangerines. Guangling is located in the north of the Huai River, so this orange orchard is a joke.

Because of the funeral, the whole Tao family was in a state of chaos.

A melodious sound of piano came from the orange orchard. Jian Xi was not good at playing the piano, but she knew how to appreciate it. The tune was gentle and melodious, and it was known that the owner of the piano must be in a very happy mood.

Jian Xi's heart sank, and she walked in following the sound of the piano.

In the center of the yard, a young girl of average appearance sat there. Her eyes were closed, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she was immersed in the sound of the piano.

Jian Xi said nothing and turned and left.

Tao Leying seemed to have sensed something and opened her eyes, but saw no one.

The maid next to her tried to dissuade him, "Miss, please stop playing the piano. Your mistress just passed away. You shouldn't play or sing such frivolous songs."

Upon hearing this, Tao Leying's movements froze, and the tune stopped for a moment. He stood up and walked to the maid.

The maid looked at Tao Leying's gloomy face, took a step back unconsciously, and stammered, "Miss."

Unexpectedly, Tao Leying just stepped forward and patted the maid's cheek with a light smile, "I'm happy today, I won't hit you, go to the kitchen and get me a bowl of red bean bird's nest."

The maid didn't dare to look into Tao Leying's eyes, and just lowered her head and nodded repeatedly.

Tao Leying's share was distributed from the eldest wife's family. She liked luxury, so Tao Letu spoiled her.

The maid came out of the orange orchard and ran into Jian Xi.

Jian Xi was still wearing her cloak, and from outside one couldn't tell that she was a pregnant woman.

"Whose girl are you? Why are you so flustered?" Jian Xi smiled. Her beautiful face looked even more pitiful in the cold winter weather.

"I am Yuxiu, a maid in the Orange Garden. The young lady asked me to go to the kitchen to get some food." Yuxiu spoke softly.

Jian Xi nodded and pointed at a slightly old-looking safety pendant on Yuxiu's body. "Your safety pendant is very unique. Was it given to you by your family?"

Yuxiu looked up at Jian Xi. She had never seen such a beautiful woman before. After a moment, she lowered her head again and said, "This was given to me by my mother. She said it is for my safety."

After saying this, he bowed and left in a hurry.

Tao Leying ordered her to be quick, if she was a little late, Tao Leying would punish her with some new tricks.
