Chapter 289: Hiding the truth
"Miss Cousin, I am also worried about your safety. I heard that the old house in the county town was sold, so I thought that was why you rushed here to ensure the safety of Miss Cousin."
Manager Li, who has gray hair on his temples, is very good at speaking. He speaks half and leaves half.
Lianyi has already sat down, but has no intention of letting Manager Li sit down. Holding the handkerchief in his hand, he said with red eyes:
"I asked the steward to sell the old house in the county. Yes, my father had just passed away, and there were rumors in the city that my father had left me a fortune of ten thousand yuan. As a twelve-year-old girl, I had to live in hiding in the village after finishing my father's funeral.
If the family really had so much money, even a ginseng plant a day could cost my father's life. Why would my father leave me and leave so early?
I even sent someone to report the funeral to the Li Mansion in Beijing. I originally thought that my uncle would come to support me, but it turned out that it had been three months since my father’s funeral was completed, and you were the only one who came to the door. They say that I, the housekeeper of the Wu family, is incompetent, but I still want to add to the rumors. What kind of skill does bullying an orphan girl like me have? "
After saying that, he started to wipe his tears with a handkerchief.
After hearing this, Manager Li's face changed, and he immediately knelt down to apologize.
"The little one deserves to die. , I didn’t see my cousin, so I wonder if you are okay. Your words were inappropriate, and you made your cousin sad. You will be punished when you go back.
My cousin has wronged the master. When he learned that your father passed away, the master sent his stepfather and his people to Jiangnan for the funeral."
"Is it true? "
Lianyi stopped crying and asked in surprise, then frowned and said:
"What about others? Why didn't I see it? ”
After saying that, he turned to look at Butler Wu.
"Miss, if my cousin comes to attend the funeral, how can I dare to hide it? Besides, the lady is in the mourning hall, and you have seen the condolences."
"Yes! I didn't see my cousin."
Lianyi turned the question to Manager Li again.
"This is also the reason why I came here this time. The young master disappeared on the way here for the funeral, and we have already reported it to the official."
"Is there such a thing?"
Lianyi pretended to be surprised and opened her mouth slightly, then said with some suspicion:
"Is what you said true? Are you trying to trick me? Did your cousin go somewhere else?"
Steward Li immediately cursed and swore that what he said was true. Unfortunately, both Lianyi and Butler Wu were skeptical.
Lianyi didn't want to hear Manager Li continue to talk nonsense, so she coughed directly. Luo Ying raised her eyebrows and said with some displeasure:
"Manager Li, you have also met my lady, she My young lady, who is already sick and tired, came out in person. What if the wind evil gets worse?”
"It's not my fault."
That's all Manager Li could say.
"Luo Ying, help me go back to rest!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Lianyi waved her hand to Manager Li and was helped away by the two maids. , leaving Butler Wu and Manager Li staring at each other.
Manager Li was also self-aware. They obviously didn't want to see him and didn't even mention staying overnight, so he could only take the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
I wanted to inquire with the people in Zhuangzi, but although these people were very respectful to him, they didn't ask anything useful. They only said that Miss Wu was kind and treated them well and so on.
Back in his boudoir, Ripple immediately returned to his original appearance. Minmin, who was following him, asked curiously:
"Miss, why are you so polite to that Manager Li?" ?”
“He represents the Li family in the capital. Although the Li family is in decline in the capital, they still have some effect on the small counties in the south of the Yangtze River. They will intimidate some young people. Although Miss I don’t want to get too close to them, but I don’t want to get too close to them,” Luo Ying explained patiently.
"Luo Ying is right. After the three-year mourning period is over, maybe they will come to take me to the Li Mansion in the capital."
Lianyi wiped off the white powder on her lips and smiled. said.
"Since you know that the other party has bad intentions, why do you still go?"
Zhou Minmin frowned and asked.
"Your young lady will be pregnant in three years. This needs to be taken care of by the elders. She can leave here just right and take you to the capital to see you."
Lianyi said with a smile.
Luo Ying shook her head, but she knew that her young lady knew what she was thinking, so she didn’t say anything more.
When Manager Li came back the next day, Butler Wu was so angry that he said before the other party could say anything:
"Manager Li, if you have anything to do, just say it. Yesterday, you insisted on seeing the lady. The lady dragged her body to see you. As a result, she caught wind and developed a fever again this morning. "
Manager Li had no choice but to pretend to be concerned and asked:
“But you invited a doctor to come and see you?”
“I invited you early in the morning. The lady just drank a fever-reducing and calming medicine. Take the medicine and sleep, don’t bother me now.”
Butler Wu said calmly.
"That's good, there's nothing wrong. On behalf of the Li Mansion, I invite the young lady to live in the capital, so that she won't be lonely here and still be missed."
"That's not necessary. The young lady said that this place is close to the master and his wife. She can go to visit the grave at any time. Besides, it's not appropriate to keep her filial piety and not stay with her relatives!"
Manager Li knew that this proposal was rejected. He came here mainly to find the young master, so he said goodbye and left after a while.
Guanshi Li left, and Zhuangzi returned to his former calm. While learning martial arts, Ripple also had to take into account the learning of other skills, and never had a moment of leisure.
But Wen Lu became more and more enthusiastic the more she taught her. She found that her young lady was so powerful. She only taught the sword moves once and the other party would remember them. The second time she taught them, the young lady could already imitate the gestures of a cat and a tiger. When he comes out, even though he doesn't have the blessing of internal energy, he can still bluff people just by looking at his sword moves.
Min Min taught her young lady boxing and encountered the same situation. She once suspected that Miss Lianyi's boxing was the authentic King Kong Demon Subduing Fist, except that it was a little inferior in strength.
Of course, this is the reason why Ripple has reservations. She will not let people know all her trump cards.
In the second month after moving to Zhuangzi, she had already used the spiritual essence of space to introduce Qi into her body. Originally, she had the attitude of giving it a try. After all, this is not a world of cultivation, but to To deal with the evil spirits that come out of nowhere, she feels that there is still a certain way to restrain them.
After introducing the Qi into her body, Lianyi felt the suppression of Heavenly Dao, but it seemed to be open to her.
"Nineteen, the Heavenly Dao here allows me to cultivate."
"This is an agreement reached between our Space and Time Management Bureau and Fang Tiandao. We send people to eliminate those who enter this interface through the space gap. Threats, he turns a blind eye and allows you to have matching strength
It's like you have entered an ancient interface, but the enemy has guns and ammunition. In order to destroy this enemy, you also need matching weapons. However, in order not to disrupt the entire interface, you can only have weapons that exceed the development of the plane. "
Shijiu explained very clearly.
"I understand! ”
Since she was recognized by Heaven, she started practicing wholeheartedly. Three years later, she successfully reached the late stage of Qi refining, but there was no thunder calamity to help her break through the foundation building stage.
At this time, the people sent by the Li family in Beijing to pick her up also arrived at the villa
