The carriage moved forward slowly, neither too fast nor too slowly.

Not far from the neighborhood where the Hou Mansion was located, Li Huai asked the motorcade to slow down a little more, and not long after, Qiao Qi and another guard walked out from the next intersection, arrived at the carriage, and told them what they knew.

The situation was reported to Dunn.

After Dunn left Yuyu Tower, they received the order to go to Li Shen's house to investigate the situation.

"Sure enough, my younger brother is not in the house. From this point of view, this sudden incident is probably not simple. How many people are planning behind it is worth considering."

With this thought in mind, the carriage Li Huai rode continued to move forward, and soon reached its destination - the Dingxiang Marquis Mansion was already in sight.

However, when he walked into this neighborhood, Li Huai felt something was wrong with the atmosphere. He could notice that there were fewer pedestrians on the surrounding streets and many shops were closed.

That's all. As we arrived at the street closest to the Hou Mansion, we could even see many guards patrolling back and forth.

"There's something wrong with the atmosphere." Even the scholar Li Wu who was walking outside the car clearly realized the problem, "Could something really happen to Mr. Hou?"

Li Huai opened the car curtain, took a look, and whispered: "It's hard to say for sure. We have to go back and ask to find out."

However, when Li Huai's carriage stopped at the door and everyone else got out, no one came to report the news, and no one came to guide the way. It immediately felt unusual.

"It's not like that group of people took the risk and planned some sort of house-fighting coup, right?"

He muttered in his heart, but he showed no fear on his face and looked calm. After all, he had the crutch in hand, and if it didn't work, he would turn back time.

After taking two steps forward and crossing the threshold of the side door, a steward finally came over to report the matter. Li Huai also recognized this man. He was just a small steward and was not outstanding on weekdays.

Li Huai asked directly: "What happened? I looked inside and outside the mansion, and the atmosphere was different."

"The Marquis suddenly became seriously ill. Many gentlemen and ladies have gathered in the backyard. I only asked the young man to wait here. As soon as you come here, I will let you pass."

"Okay, I already know. I will go over to visit my brother." Li Huai nodded.

The steward said: "That little guy will go and report first." Then he turned around and left quickly.

Seeing the figure from behind, Li Huai shook his head slightly, passed through the gate, and continued to move forward. Then he noticed the guards patrolling back and forth along the way.

"Sir, there are many unfamiliar faces among these guards. I'm afraid they are people from other masters' houses." Li Wu took a few steps closer and whispered.

Li Huai nodded and said nothing more.

Although the house in the Hou Mansion is not close to the imperial city, it is in a good location. The interior structure is complex. If you really have to walk, it will take some time to reach your destination.

Li Huai was thinking as he walked, but as soon as he passed the front yard, a maid in green came over and whispered: "Seventh Young Master, my wife asked me to send you a message, asking you to go to her place first."

Li Huai was no stranger to this, and he could guess the general reason in his heart, so he sighed and said: "My brother is seriously ill, I will go visit him first, and we will talk about other things later. When you go back, you can tell my wife clearly, and you can tell me that I can't do it at this time."

You can't just follow your temper, she is the most reasonable and should understand."

The maid wanted to say more, but Li Huai waved her away. The former could only salute and then retreat.

However, after Li Huai had walked for a while, halfway through the garden, he suddenly heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw that it was his wife.

"Why are you here?" Li Huai greeted him.

His wife is really beautiful, with a slender body and skin as white as jade. When she gets closer, the willow eyebrows, bright eyes, and white teeth on her face are even more endearing. Coupled with the magnanimity cultivated by reading and playing the piano, she is even more adorable.

It's breathtaking.

only……

"Officer, I just sent Caihuan out to ask her to find you, but I was worried that she wouldn't be able to call you, so I came here in person." The lady from the Wei family came to Li Huai, but her tone was not polite, "Fortunately, I'm here.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be bad if you went directly and didn’t know how to explain?”

Li Huai was a little surprised and asked: "Is it possible that my wife has something to entrust me with?"

"Your brother is weak and sick. Now he suddenly fainted. I'm afraid it's impossible. In the future, if you want to seize the title, you are the master of this place. Those few bitches used to insult me ​​with their words. They relied on their power as stewards to suppress me and provoke me.

People are tired of it, but you should find a reason to warn them when you pass by, so that they can know how powerful it is and know what it is, so that I can take care of it again in the future to relieve their anger!"

At the end of her speech, although she lowered her voice, she could not help but grit her teeth, and her beautiful face lost some color.

Li Huai was startled, then frowned and sighed in his heart.

The so-called knowing people but not knowing their hearts. It is humane that the wife of the Wei family is beautiful and virtuous, but she does not know that it is also a disguise in the boudoir. After she got married, her true face was revealed. Nowadays, they have to deal with a lot of trouble every day. Although it is harmless, most of them are petty. Their husband and wife

Doing this between each other can also adjust the relationship, but at this moment, it is a bit inappropriate.

So, Li Huai held his forehead, feeling tired, and replied: "I know what I know..." Seeing his wife's face, he didn't want to get entangled, "Don't be anxious, let's settle the matter before talking about anything else. It's like this at this time

"That's the key. It's better not to make a fuss. You go back to the hospital and wait for news." Listening to the lady's words, he didn't want Wei Ruxi to go to his brother's yard in the backyard to prevent any complications.

"You have to keep it in mind!" Wei Ruxi warned again, then turned and left. After walking a few steps, she looked back at her husband's retreating back, but shook her head again.

"My husband is kind and approachable, but he's soft-tempered. I'm afraid he won't be determined enough to succeed, but I have to worry about it! It's also because he's not good at doing big things, so I have to think more and do more. Sister Liu just now

It’s time to give the proposal a try.”

Thinking like this, he ordered the female servant beside him to change the direction of travel and no longer go to his yard.

On the other side, Li Huai sent his wife away and continued walking, but he couldn't help but mutter: "It's really hard to control wives and concubines in ancient times, and anyone with a certain background is always willing to fight. In modern society, in the office

Politics is unavoidable, it’s really worrying. I understand Zhao Chang and Zhang Kun’s previous concerns. Alas, how come Zheng Xingye’s harem is so harmonious and can support each other? This is too false!”

"It's not like you were just out of your mind, but now you know it's nonsense? That's a bad point."

"Hey, system, please don't leave yet. Can you tell me about the situation on Zheng Xingye's side? How does he balance it?"

Unfortunately, there was no response to his inquiry.

"Tch, pretending to be dead again!"

Li Huai murmured, looked at the yard in front, and gathered his thoughts. Then he collected himself and walked a few more steps. Soon he heard the sound of crying in front of him. Knowing that another good show was about to be staged, he immediately became energetic and prepared.
