I rely on krypton life to attack the big guy

"Father, what happened to him?" On the way, Qiu Lingxiao hurriedly walked, frowning and asking.

"The servants don't know either, the third lady will know when she arrives."

"Could it be...Father died?" Qiu Lingxiao raised his eyebrows, pondering the maid's expression, speculating in a low voice without restraint.I didn't feel that what I said was so taboo and disrespectful to etiquette, righteousness and filial piety in the ears of these maids.

The blue-clothed servant girl walked quickly and led the way: "Madam only asked the servants to invite the third lady, and said something happened to Master Hou, and did not say anything else."

After hesitating for a while, the blue-clothed maid secretly whispered the information she knew clearly into Qiu Lingxiao's ear: "Last night, Lord Hou didn't go to rest in any wife's or aunt's yard, and stayed alone in the study without being disturbed by anyone.

It wasn't until this morning that someone noticed something was wrong and told Madam that Madam led someone into the study.Not knowing what happened, Madam immediately closed the yard, and sent servants to inform the young masters and ladies to hurry over.So... the slaves don't know what happened. "

The unfinished words showed that her guess was similar to Qiu Lingxiao's, but her identity made her dare not speak out.

Qiu Zhishu understood, and didn't say anything more.Although she is used to being domineering, she is not stupid.Mother found out that Master Hou was dead early in the morning, but she didn't announce it to the public or ask a doctor to rescue him immediately.Explain that there is no way to return, tell them to go there at this time, explain that there is something important waiting for them, and then it will be made public.

The accompanying Fu Rong and Madam Zhang followed Qiu Lingxiao on the left and right, feeling worried.I just hope that Master Hou doesn't really have any serious accidents, otherwise I'm afraid things will change.

After all... even they who are just little maids in the Hou Mansion know that the Yongjin Hou Mansion in Nuo Da is actually only supported by Master Hou.

Afterwards, they walked all the way with their heads down, and no one spoke.

When I got outside the study, I saw a lot of people guarding it, and some people were curiously looking inside the closed door.Qiu Lingxiao's eyelids twitched, and he immediately yelled, "Get out of the way, Miss Ben!"

Everyone trembled, and when they saw that it was this person, they quickly knelt down and saluted, "I've met Miss San." The doorman quickly slipped to both sides and opened the door for her.

Fu Rong and Madam Zhang waited outside, while Qiu Lingxiao was led by a maidservant in blue, across the threshold, and then through the Hanging Flower Gate.Looking in from the screen wall, the door of the study room in the center is slightly open, and there seems to be a lot of people already crowded inside.

Qiu Lingxiao's eyelids twitched heavily.

Into the study, although already prepared.But when he saw the cold and stiff corpse, he let out a cry, like a bucket of cold water pouring down his head: "He's really dead."

"Miss San, this way please." The maid in blue waited for her to calm down, and pushed open the west door.

Coming out of the study, Qiu Lingxiao was ushered into the hall next to him.There are already many people waiting here, the clan elders, clan relatives, and aunts of the Qiu family are on the two sides, and a dozen young and lifelong brothers of the Qiu family are standing in the middle.The one directly above is Qiu Lingxiao's mother who is now the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion.

There were murmurs of weeping and coquettish conversations mixed together in the main hall, which was quite noisy.Everyone has different expressions, like an absurd drama.

Qiu Lingxiao was still very sad because of this incident, but seeing these people's grief-stricken appearance, she was not so sad.

"Cry, cry, cry, cry all day long. Shut up for Miss Ben, aren't you afraid of disturbing your father?"

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and everyone looked at the lawless Qiu Lingxiao with dark faces.All the elders of the clan opened their eyes and closed their eyes as if they didn't see it, and the aunts were even more silent, pretending not to exist.

Only among the younger generation gathered in the center of the hall, a girl in a lotus-colored skirt wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and turned her head to remind: "Third sister, my uncle has passed away, so I can't hear you."

"Is it necessary for you to say? This lady is not blind. And why are you crying...Zhu Yumian, this is not your home, you are not..." Qiu Lingxiao was like a firecracker that had just started and was not over yet, and was caught Liu Yilan, the wife of the Hou Mansion, pressed it back.

"...Ling Xiao, shut up." Liu Yilan gave Qiu Lingxiao a warning look, "Although Yu Mian is not a flesh and blood of the Hou Mansion, she was raised in the Hou Mansion since she was a child, and she was close to the Lord Hou. Not her own life is better than her own. This is hers." My family is also your fourth younger sister, of course she is qualified to stand here."

The last sentence did not seem to be an answer to Qiu Lingxiao, but more like a statement to some dissatisfied people present.

"If you don't say it, don't say it, Miss Ben is too lazy to talk to her." Qiu Lingxiao was unwilling to shut up, and glared at the girl in the lotus-colored dress, who shrank her head innocently and shivered in fear.

Qiu Lingxiao still glared at Zhu Yumian angrily. Every time she and Zhu Yumian had conflicts, her mother would always protect her.It was because her mother said that Zhu Yumian's parents were not around and her body was weak.Just let her give Zhu Yumian a little bit, but Qiu Lingxiao would not listen, he should bully or bully, but once he went too far and made Zhu Yumian seriously ill, that was the only time Qiu Lingxiao was enforced by Liu Yilan's family law.

After being locked in the cold and dark ancestral hall, he was released for seven days.

After coming out, Qiu Lingxiao's temper became more savage and eccentric, flaunting everywhere, but keeping Zhu Yumian at a respectful distance.

As a result, Zhu Yumian thought she was being treated differently, and often followed the third sister eagerly, and Qiu Lingxiao was almost annoyed to death hearing the third sister's calls.

Zhu Yumian is like a dandelion, it will disperse when the wind blows.She has a soft personality like a steamed stuffed bun, and is as soft as the weather in her hometown of Jiangnan Water Village. No matter how badly Qiu Lingxiao speaks at each other and grabs her things, she seems to be unable to remember the lesson, and she will take the initiative to go up next time.

For a while, Qiu Lingxiao took pleasure in making Zhu Yumian cry, but he got tired of it after a while.It was too easy and unfulfilling to make her cry.

It's still a puppy... Her Ashu makes her even more happy.

Thinking of that person's unconvinced stubborn eyes, Qiu Lingxiao couldn't help laughing.

The rest of the people in the hall who paid attention to her were shocked.

Mother, you laugh so terribly.

After laughing, Qiu Lingxiao found a place and started to be in a daze, waiting for her mother to finish speaking so that she could go back quickly.

Liu Yilan folded her arms, as if she was the wife of the official residence.Didn't panic after Yong Jinhou's death, and messed up.Instead, he remained calm and spoke to everyone present in an unusually calm tone.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start. The reason for calling everyone here is that you are all candidates for the young generation of the Marquis of Yongjin who are qualified to succeed to the title. You have all seen that the Marquis is dead. But Nuo The large Yongjin Marquis Mansion will continue, and there are hundreds of people in our Marquis Mansion, and we still have to live by pointing to the hereditary title.

So... The purpose of calling everyone here is to choose who will succeed the title of Marquis of Yongjin. According to the rules passed down from your ancestors, each of you has to make a judgment and support who will be the new Marquis of Yongjin. "

It seems very fair and just, giving everyone present a right to choose, but in fact, everyone knows that there is one and only one heir to the Hou Mansion, the eldest son of the eldest lady, Qiu Lingxiao's brother, Qiu Nanpeng Young Master Qiu.

Qiu Lingxiao stared at Qiu Nanpeng, who stood there with his head held high and his chest held high, looking like a fighting cock, and then grinned, malice flashing across his eyes.

She suddenly raised her voice and said, "Mother, since it is to elect the next Marquis of Yongjin, the brothers and sisters did not come together."

The voice fell, and the whole hall was silent.

Qiu Nanpeng turned his head to the side and looked at her with a frown, wondering what else she could come up with.

After listening to her words, the other dozen or so teenagers and girls also looked left and right, counting the familiar faces around them, looking for who was missing.

But half a day passed and nothing was found.

Qiu Nanpeng: "Qiu Lingxiao, you were the first to be told and the last one to come. Everyone was waiting for you, but you said that everyone was not there, and you are not like you to shirk responsibility."

Another clan elder, who had long been displeased with Qiu Lingxiao's habit of committing crimes, took the opportunity to say, "Yeah, tell me, who else is not here?"

Everyone was sure that Qiu Lingxiao was making trouble out of no reason, but Liu Yilan suddenly remembered that she was looking for her, her jaw tensed and her masseter muscles tightened.Shouldn't...

Qiu Lingxiao: "...Before my eldest brother was born, my father favored a housemaid, who gave birth to an heir overnight. It's just that the maid's life was not good, and she died after she was born. She didn't even have a title when she died. Li, the child who was killed was raised in the Hou Mansion with no name or distinction, just like a ghost."

"You don't know, do you?" Qiu Lingxiao glanced around everyone, "It stands to reason that she is the first young lady born in the Hou Mansion. It's just that no one has ever admitted it, how pitiful."

Someone tentatively asked, "Are you talking about that Luoshuangxuan?"

"Isn't she a fool with delirious mind and three souls? The old man thought she would have died a long time ago, but she has lived till now."

"If she is still alive, shouldn't her identity be restored? After all, she also has the noble blood of Master Hou."

Qiu Lingxiao watched this scene with a smile, full of interest.

Right, that is it.

Talk more and hold her up a little higher.

I want her to have it all and lose it all in the end.

Qiu Lingxiao smiled slightly. In the eyes of outsiders, his appearance was really an expression of fearing that the world would not be chaotic no matter how you look at it.

She said slowly: "I'm talking about Luoshuangxuan. She is living well, but her intelligence is indeed different from ordinary people, and her health is not very good. She is just raising her body in my yard."

One sentence once again caused a lot of discussion among the people.

"Luoshuangxuan, it really is. The first child of Master Hou..."

"He was born earlier than the young master, Miss."

"What Luoshuangxuan, why have I never heard of it?"

"You haven't heard of it, but I've heard it before. She killed a maid who was supposed to be a mother and a child. Because of her mental retardation, she was put under house arrest by Lord Hou in Luoshuangxuan. She didn't want to be discovered by outsiders." A foolish young lady came out of the Hou's mansion, so it would be a laughingstock. But after the eldest young master was born, the Hou master forgot about her, and after that, everyone thought she was dead long ago."

"Why have I never seen such a character before?"

Qiu Lingxiao: "Do you need me to send someone to call her over now?"

"Qiu Lingxiao!" Liu Yilan's expression that was so calm that it looked like a pool of stagnant water had a crack, and she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"There should be a limit to nonsense!"
