"General, since my father ordered people to renovate the Marquis Mansion last month, the second lady's health has improved a lot. I didn't expect the general and my father to get together!"

As soon as Man Yue said these words, Linghu Hongxi hurriedly spoke,

"Yes, since there are patients in the house, we must be more careful. The general said - right?"

"You-" Li Jingtian was speechless by the words of Man Yue and Linghu Hongxi.

"Isn't this what the general means? He can't be referring to who he is! Doesn't the general have any dissatisfaction with someone in the Hou family? I don't think so - the general has not returned to Kyoto for many years. I think he left when he did.

There was harmony at that time, and unless the general had returned to Kyoto in the past few years, he would never have any quarrel with the people in the Hou Mansion! Right?"

All the words that Linghuquan had been holding back just now were poured out at this moment.

In fact, she is not a competitive person, but Li Jingtian deliberately embarrassed Linghu Hongxi just now, which is tantamount to embarrassing the entire Hou family! Linghuquan respects Linghu Hongxi as his elder brother, and Li Jingtian embarrassed Linghu Hongxi like this.

Of course Huquan couldn't stand it.

"Little sister, please forgive me for being rude. How could the general have a quarrel with the Marquis? It's just a kind reminder. General, please sit down."

Linghu Hongxi turned his attention to Linghuquan instead of Full Moon.

It's because Linghuquan is the princess, and Man Yue is a junior after all. If he talks about Man Yue, Li Jingtian should start another topic, but what he talks about is Linghu Quan. It stands to reason that Li Jingtian was once a student under King Anping.

No matter what, Li Jingtian couldn't find fault with Linghuquan.

"The Marquis still understands my general's thoughts. Hahaha!"

Li Jingtian's expression changed and he actually laughed out loud.

It is indeed difficult for a general to cover up his previous anger quickly. It can be seen that Li Jingtian thought of Xiao Suanzi's words at the critical moment.

Li Jingtian sat down again, and everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Man Yue nodded slightly towards Linghu Quan, turned around and returned to his seat.

Li Jingtian lowered his eyes, but looked coldly in the direction of the full moon from the corner of his eye.

Linghu Pingxue came back from the secret joy just now. She was a little disappointed that she didn't get any advantage.

Linghu Pingxue returned to her seat in frustration, only to see Linghu Qiuyu looking at her with a mocking expression. Linghu Pingxue suppressed the hatred in her heart, and still had a weak look on her face that I felt pity for.

.

After more than a month of closed-door thinking, Linghu Pingxue knew that her status in the Hou Mansion was no longer what it used to be. Even with the old lady protecting her, her father had been disappointed in her. In addition, her mother had lost power. If the old lady hadn't spoken, she would have lost all hope.

She is still grounded in Xiuyayuan.

She has just come out, so she must not offend Linghu Manyue, a saoba star! She must be humble in everything.

Man Yue looked at Linghu Pingxue today, and she saw that Linghu Pingxue had indeed changed a lot from before. Isn't there a saying? Dogs can't change from eating shit! It's only a matter of time before Linghu Pingxue's true colors are revealed!

Halfway through the dinner, Li Jingtian and Linghu Hongxi exchanged glasses and seemed to have no objections. Lin Ran would look at Linghu Pingxue from time to time. Linghu Pingxue wanted to take advantage of Lin Ran, and his eyes were shy and timid from time to time.

Looking at Lin Ran, Lin Ran was even more elated and felt like she didn't want to leave.

Lin Yidonghe, on the other hand, was as calm and calm as ever, but the calm Xiaoye coldness in his eyes radiated out from time to time, just so that Man Yue could catch it.

When the dinner was coming to an end, Li Jingtian seemingly casually asked to see the Second Madam.

The old lady nodded towards Linghu Hongxi, actually everything had been arranged.

Lin Yidonghe and Lin Ran also got up at this moment to go to the Hou Mansion for a casual walk. Linghu Hongxi hurriedly arranged for Butler Tang to send people to serve them.

Lin Ran originally wanted to ask Linghu Pingxue to accompany him for a walk, but when Li Jingtian wanted to see the second lady, Linghu Pingxue naturally had to accompany him! Lin Ran suddenly felt bored.

Lin Yidonghe, on the other hand, had a calm and steady expression on his face. Only the corner of his eyes looking at the full moon was cold and cold.

Linghu Hongxi and the old lady took Li Jingtian and walked towards Xiuya Garden. Linghu Pingxue hurriedly took a few steps forward and followed the old lady. When Linghu Quan saw it, his face turned cold. He saw the old lady holding Linghu's hand naturally.

Pingxue's hands were not good at losing face to the old lady and Li Jingtian.

But when he looked at Linghu Pingxue, his expression became even colder.

Linghu Pingxue buried her head very low, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

Linghu Pingxue has indeed learned to behave a lot now. If it were in the past, I am afraid that she would have cried out in grievance when acting!

Man Yue walked behind Linghu Quan, her eyes moving, but there was a hint of cold murderous intent.

Tonight, if Li Jingtian doesn't come, there is no need for the Second Madam to put on a good show for him, but precisely because Li Jingtian is here, it will speed up the Second Madam's end! Everything has been arranged, just wait.

The arrogant Li Jingtian is here to start this scene!

The scene in the palace earlier, the full moon will be returned to him today!

Linghuquan deliberately took a step slower at this time and raised his hand to hold Man Yue's hand.

Man Yue smiled nonchalantly, with a relaxed and casual look on her face.

Aunt Wu and Linghu Qiuyu followed behind. She didn't want to go there, but she was here to see the second lady. If she didn't go, it would be inevitable that the second lady would find excuses in the future. Aunt Wu now envied the sick third lady.

Because of the old lady, Qiu Jixuan served on the other side of the old lady, with Linghu Pingxue on the left and right, looking dazzling.

Witnessing this scene, Zhao Yuer, who had been busy all night but had not reaped any benefits, had tears in his eyes and gritted his teeth as he looked at the scene in front of him.

She really did a thankless thing!

The old lady brought back this Qiu Jixuan who was clearly recommended to Linghu Hongxi, and looking at Linghu Hongxi's expression just now, it really chilled Zhao Yuer!

But what can she do? She has no roots and foundation, and now she can only watch helplessly!

Zhao Yuer followed at the end with some dejection.

——

The group of people arrived at Xiuya Garden in a grand manner.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Linghu Pingxue couldn't help but her eyes were red. The past month had been like a year, and life was worse than death.

Although Xiuyayuan is much more comfortable than the woodshed, she cannot step out of the room. This is such a torture for her!

She finally came out to take a breather. No matter what, she couldn't go back to her previous life! She had to make good use of today and stand in front of people again!

The courtyard was now much livelier than when Linghu Pingxue left. The maids and ladies in the courtyard knelt down to greet her. The old lady had always been very good at arranging everything, and the second lady had also learned this well.

Seeing this scene, Li Jingtian just laughed in his heart.

How could he believe this kind of superficial skill? If he didn't see what his sister looked like with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe anything now!

Before, the Second Madam had written to Li Jingtian, and the letter was naturally full of accusations against Man Yue. However, in the past two months, there were no letters from the Second Madam. Although the Hou family claimed to be ill, Li Jingtian always felt that something was fishy.

You have to see it with your own eyes to believe it.

"Where is the second lady?" Linghu Hongxi asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the Marquis, the second lady has just taken medicine and rested. She told the servants and others not to disturb her." The person who replied was the new steward of Xiuya Garden, Mama Niu.

Mother Niu belongs to the old lady. Before the dinner was over, the old lady ordered someone to send a message to Mother Niu. Mother Niu had already made arrangements according to the instructions.

"I'll go in and see my sister."

Li Jingtian's face darkened, and he couldn't believe that he was really asleep, so he strode straight towards the inner room.

Logically speaking, even if it is his biological sister, Li Jingtian is not suitable to do this! This shows how deep the suspicion is in Li Jingtian's heart!

"General, this is the inner courtyard of the Marquis Mansion. Is it appropriate for you to go in like this? It's better to sit in the front hall for a while and let people know!" The old lady's tone was a bit tough. Even if Li Jingtian was General Zhenyuan, he couldn't do this.

Disobeying the rules! After all, this is the Marquis's Mansion, and after all, she is the First Grade Lady!

Li Jingtian's face flashed with displeasure, and then he said in a deep voice,

"In that case, I will follow the old lady's wishes. If something really happens to my sister, I can't pretend it for a while, right?"

Now that he is no longer in the hall and the guests are not there, there are only Li Jingtian and people from the Hou Mansion, so he doesn't have to be evasive when speaking!

The old lady was blocked by this sentence, and her eyes flashed with a hint of impatience. If Li Jingtian hadn't come to her door, she wouldn't have dealt with such an ignorant general who spoke so freely.

The old lady was a member of the Lian family during the prosperous period of the Celestial Dynasty. Until the old lady's previous generation gradually declined, she had produced countless first-class civil servants who were the pillars of the country. The arrogant old lady naturally disliked Li Jingtian, who was a military general.

It's just that due to Li Jingtian's outstanding military exploits, I have to be polite to him.

"General, please." Linghu Hongxi's mentality at the moment was quite upright. He had already arrived at the door of his house and was here anyway. Instead of being angry with him over trivial details, it was better to speak with the facts.

Once they met, Li Jingtian had nothing to say.

Everyone sat down in the front hall.

Li Jingtian's face was filled with a mixture of arrogance and coldness, and the coldness and coldness of the others who were settling their scores after the fall. They were also nervous and didn't know what to say.

The air was filled with uneasy silence, as if something was bound to happen soon.

After a while, the sound of footsteps sounded at the door, and a crimson figure slowly walked into the front hall, with people crowding in front and behind, making it very lively.

As the crimson figure approached, Li Jingtian stood up suddenly, widened his eyes, and looked at Li Xinjin who was walking towards him with an expression of disbelief.

Is this still my sister?

When he left Kyoto three years ago, his sister was so radiant, noble and elegant. After not seeing each other for three years, how could she be like this withered eyes and dull eyes now? This is simply out of shape! A little bit of the past.

No style at all!
