Li Shuangwan had guessed that her good second uncle would say this, so she curled her lips slightly and handed over a piece of paper in her hand.

"Uncle, this is the new name my father gave to my sister Yao, Li Shuangyao. My mother is already on her way back to Shengjing, but uncle, please write my sister's name into the family tree first."

Li Huaiyi raised his eyelids and casually slapped the paper with the words "Li Shuangyao" written on it on the table.

"It's not urgent."

Li Shuangwan knew that Li Huaiyi would not agree easily, and said anxiously: "Second Uncle, the evidence is all in front of us. Sister Yao is indeed my biological sister. She has suffered enough while living outside. How can we not let her recognize her ancestors and be included in the family tree?"

In her previous life, after her mother met Zhou Caiyao, she gave up the idea of ​​adopting her as her adopted daughter.

My mother is very good at judging people. She said that Zhou Caiyao was a girl with evil intentions. There has never been a girl with evil intentions in the General’s Mansion. We cannot let her bring disaster to the entire General’s Mansion.

In this life, she would certainly not allow Zhou Caiyao to be included in the Li family tree.

But she had to let her parents see clearly the true face of her second uncle's family, so that when she wanted to separate, her parents would not stop her.

Li Huaiyi snorted coldly: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like we won't let her enter the family tree. This is not a trivial matter. When your mother returns to Beijing, let her personally confirm that if she is indeed the daughter of our Li family, it won't be too late to enter the family tree."

"Well, don't you have an empty villa in the suburbs of Beijing? Let her live there first. When your mother comes back and sees her, if she is sure there is no problem, you can bring her back."

Li Shuangwan sighed softly: "Since Second Uncle said so, I will go to Lu Mansion to pick him up."

As soon as Li Shuangwan came out of the General's Mansion and got on the carriage, Roman couldn't wait to say, "Princess, the Second Master is too much. There is so much evidence in front of him, why doesn't he agree!"

Li Shuangwan curled the corners of his mouth. Why didn't you agree? It was because of your selfish motives.

My father, mother, and brother have guarded the northwest for decades and made numerous military achievements. Emperor Jingzhang gives countless rewards to the General's Mansion every year.

Most of these things went into the second wife's private vault.

Now that there is suddenly another girl, the first thing the second uncle thinks of is to give a portion of the family property to "Li Shuangyao" as a dowry, and it is a considerable one.

How could he be willing?

However, this matter has spread outside in the past two days, and only my second uncle's family has not heard about it.

Moreover, when she was talking to Li Huaiyi in the flower hall just now, she did not avoid people and her voice was not low.

Li Huai was so righteous that he slammed the table twice. How could those gossipy servants not eavesdrop?

Li Huaiyi's concubine's daughter Li Shuangxi was the first person in the mansion to know about this matter besides Li Huaiyi.

She had just returned from Li Shuangmiao's place, her face full of sinisterness.

The maid Shuang'er came into the room and whispered something in Li Shuangxi's ear.

Li Shuangxi was shocked when she heard this: "Really?"

Shuang'er nodded vigorously: "It is absolutely true. I heard it with my own ears. I am not the only one who heard it. The princess just left not long ago, and the second master was wandering around in the hall. From what I saw, the second master was unwilling to include the found Miss Yao in the family tree. After all, Miss Yao is now in the opera troupe, and her status is too low."

Li Shuangxi's gloomy face instantly relaxed.

Aunt Tong asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What happened? What are you two, master and servant, talking about?"

Li Shuangxi turned around with a smile: "Auntie, you are a lucky person. We don't have to do anything, someone will kill themselves."

Aunt Tong was confused by what she heard.

Li Shuangxi ordered Shuang'er: "Go, spread this news."

……

Li Shuangwan took her out of Lu's house and asked Zhou Wen to send her to a villa in the suburbs of Beijing.

Except that there is no village in front and no shop behind, and there is not even a bird within ten miles, the rest of the place is very good. It covers a large area. Now it is winter, and everywhere is bare and desolate.

A girl would probably collapse if she stayed there for a few days.

Second Uncle’s move was extremely cruel.

It was almost evening when she returned to Le Xiaoyuan. Chen Ping and others were standing by. When they saw her, they hurriedly said, "Princess, when I was passing by the gold shop in the east of the city, the owner stopped me and gave me this."

Chen Ping took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yizhu.

Yizhu was about to take it, but Li Shuangwan walked down the stairs before her, took it from Chen Ping's hand, unfolded it, and a bracelet pattern with exquisite workmanship came into view.

Li Shuangwan hurriedly asked Yizhu to take out the glass lamp from the house.

She took a closer look at the paper. What an ingenious mechanism! This bracelet was much more ingenious than the hairpin she had given Chen Ping to make.

It can be worn as an ordinary jade bracelet on a daily basis, but if you encounter an emergency, you only need to press lightly on the hidden buckle of the double ring to turn it into a top-notch hidden weapon with dozens of gold needles hidden inside.

Chen Ping: "The shopkeeper said that the golden needles can be poisoned or not, depending on the princess's needs."

Li Shuangwan was so surprised that he quickly looked at another picture.

It was still the same bracelet, but there was a blade hidden on the other side. Just a light press of the mechanism on it would turn it into a sharp knife.

With this, even if she was kidnapped, she could cut the ropes that bound her without making any noise.

This is such an unexpected surprise.

She knew that this gold shop in the east of the city could make some exquisitely crafted jewelry, but she didn't expect that it could even make something like this.

He hurriedly asked Yizhu to get a few silver notes for Chen Ping: "Go buy this bracelet tomorrow morning. No matter how much silver it is, tell him that I want this bracelet."

Chen Ping took the banknote from Yi Zhu and said with a smile, "No need to wait until tomorrow. The shopkeeper said that the bracelet can be sold until the hour of Xu. If I don't buy it at that time, he will put it on the counter for sale. It's still early now, I'll go right away."

After saying this, he bowed respectfully to Li Shuangwan and left in a hurry.

With this bracelet, Li Shuangwan felt that all the fatigue of the day was swept away.

In the east of the city, there is Xifulai Gold Shop.

The shopkeeper sold the bracelet to Chen Ping and took one thousand taels of silver from him. He hurried to the back room and said to the man standing by the window with his hands behind his back, "My lord, Miss Li has sent Chen Ping to buy the bracelet. As you ordered, I took one thousand taels from him."

The corners of the man's mouth curled up, and his pair of phoenix eyes were as bright as stars.

The shopkeeper lowered his head and continued, "Chen Ping and I have been negotiating the price for a long time. I followed your instructions and did not give up a penny."

He was a little embarrassed. The bracelet was just finely crafted, but the material was not top-grade jade. According to the daily price, eight hundred taels would be the maximum.

I don't understand why his master wants to deliver something to a girl but charges her so much money.

The man nodded.

Half an hour later, Chen Ping handed the bracelet to Li Shuangwan.
