Chapter 13 Entering the Palace
After listening to Chang Xiaoman's description, Lei Yuxiu leaned on the porch pillar and thought.

"Isn't Xiaoxue locked in a cage at night?"

"The cage is open."

"What?" Chang Xiaoman was very surprised.

"There are three possibilities. One is that Zhou Liang, who was in charge of Xiaoxue, forgot to close the cage; the other is that Xiaoxue opened the lock by herself; the third is that someone deliberately let Xiaoxue out."

"If someone deliberately releases Xiaoxue to come to my yard and kill my pigeons...but what is this person trying to do?"

"I don't know either. It may be to steal Xiaoxue, but I didn't expect Xiaoxue to be wild and unruly. She ran away as soon as she opened the cage, and happened to come here and kill the pigeon. When you scared it away, the person was afraid that Xiaoxue would provoke more pigeons." There was a big commotion, and I couldn't escape, so I simply beat Xiaoxue to death, so I could get away without a sound."

"These are all your guesses, and you have no evidence."

"That's why I wanted to find evidence to prove my conjecture."

The two searched carefully everywhere in the Cuiyin Garden, but found nothing.

"What should I do? Nothing can be found out." Chang Xiaoman kicked the pebbles by his feet in disappointment.

"Forget it, if you can't find it, you won't find it." Lei Yuxiu smiled helplessly.

"Xiaoxue is so pitiful." Chang Xiaoman pouted, "I want to avenge her."

"Fool, even if that man is caught, his crime is nothing more than killing an animal, or hitting a few boards. Be it an animal or a human, he is no match for his own life." Lei Yuxiu patted Chang Xiaoman head of.

"That's not true!" Chang Xiaoman shook his head vigorously, "Humans are different from animals. Humans can change their destiny through hard work."

"How to change?" Lei Yuxiu raised his eyebrows and asked.

Chang Xiaoman looked at him, no matter what, he couldn't connect this handsome young man with the villain in the book who did all kinds of evil.

"Study hard, follow the rules, don't do evil because it is small, and don't do good because it is small."

"You are becoming more and more like the master, and you actually say such a big truth."

"It's all wisdom."

"Fool."

"I'm not stupid, Lei Yuxiu, I just want you to grow up well. When you grow up, inherit your father's career and grow old in peace."

"You have to know that the Rong people in the north have been spying on Dapei for a long time. Sooner or later, the war will be fought, and sooner or later I will fight on the battlefield. Maybe I can grow into an adult, but I may not be able to die safely."

"I don't want it, I just want you to live to be a hundred years old, a little old man with missing teeth."

Lei Yuxiu smiled but did not answer.

Chang Xiaoman felt uneasy in her heart, she leaned her head lightly on Lei Yuxiu's shoulder: "Don't do anything dangerous again."

"I'll be careful." Lei Yuxiu held Chang Xiaoman's hand tightly.

Many days passed, Xiaoxue's death was gradually forgotten in the general's mansion, but the murderer was still not found.Everyone's attention was drawn to another matter.

The family received a notice from the palace that the eldest lady's younger sister, Lei Yuxiu's aunt, Concubine Yun, gave birth to a new little princess.His Majesty was so happy that he decided to hold a banquet and specially allowed the courtiers to bring their families into the palace.

The eldest lady is naturally going.

What made people wonder was that Chang Xiaoman's name was also on the invitation card for the banquet sent by the father-in-law in the palace, in addition to the eldest lady and the two sons of the Lei family.

The eldest lady confirmed in many ways, and the words from the palace said that there was nothing wrong with the name post, so let the eldest lady prepare according to the name post.

Chang Xiaoman himself was also surprised.

She is the daughter of a guilty minister, and she has not really married Lei Yuxiu, so she is no different from ordinary folk women.

How could she be allowed to attend such a high-level banquet.

But no one can defy His Majesty's will, even though there is a lot of suspicion, she can only follow orders.

Chang Xiaoman only felt his right eyelid twitch, and felt quite uneasy.

Haitang rushes to make new clothes for her to enter the palace, and Qiuli dresses her up beautifully.

Chang Xiaoman in the mirror looked like a noble lady.

Lei Yuxiu came to her side, smiled with satisfaction, took her hand and comforted her: "Speak less after entering the palace, follow me, and don't run around anywhere."

"Well, I see." Chang Xiaoman nodded.

Before leaving, everyone gathered at the gate of the General's Mansion.

Lei Yuqi was wearing a blue-gray brocade gown early in the morning and was waiting at the door.

This was the first time Chang Xiaoman saw Lei Yuqi again after being injured and moved into Wutong Garden.

When Lei Yuqi saw her, his eyes lit up.

Chang Xiaoman's dress today is different from his usual simple and neat attire.The long skirt made her dignified and beautiful.

He wanted to praise her, but he didn't say anything, his eyes stayed on Lei Yuxiu's tightly holding Chang Xiaoman's hand.

Chang Xiaoman is his future sister-in-law, he cannot overcome this status, and he must not get too close.

When Chang Xiaoman saw Lei Yuqi, he greeted him generously: "Yuqi, I haven't seen you for a few days, I think you have grown taller."

Lei Yuqi smiled subtly.

Lei Yuxiu pulled Chang Xiaoman into the car.

After getting into the car, Chang Xiaoman asked, "Won't Yu Qi ride in the same car with us?"

"He's in the back one."

"Obviously this carriage is very spacious, and it can completely fit in."

"He's a bastard."

In the mansion, I didn't feel that Lei Yuxiu and Yuqi's identities were much different. Lei Yuxiu had what Lei Yuqi had, and Lei Yuqi didn't lack it.But when you leave the government, you will be treated differently.

Seeing that she was silent, Lei Yuxiu patiently explained: "Although my father is away all year round, my mother is not mean to the second lady. Therefore, there is not much difference in food and clothing between me and Yuqi."

Chang Xiaoman lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the street scene outside, "I can't be so magnanimous."

Lei Yuxiu chuckled, "You don't need to be magnanimous. I only marry the main wife, not concubines."

Chang Xiaoman felt her face was burning hot, looked at the scenery but not at him, but there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth that she didn't even notice.

When everyone was ready, the convoy left the General's Mansion and set off for the palace.

The ruts were shallow, and the carriage set off slowly.

Inside the carriage, Chang Xiaoman questioned the speed of travel.The speed of this ancient carriage is really not much faster than walking.She was so bored that she was going crazy, she turned her head and looked at Lei Yuxiu, who seemed to be very used to riding in a carriage. At this time, he was closing his eyes and resting his mind.

The long eyelashes, the high bridge of the nose, and the cool thin lip line are indeed very beautiful.

When he is so quiet, it is really a kind of enjoyment for people to watch.

"You look at me like this, do you think this young master is very good-looking?" Lei Yuxiu suddenly opened his eyes, with annoying pride in them, and the corners of his mouth were raised in a beautiful arc.

"Nonsense, I didn't look at you," Chang Xiaoman immediately looked away, "I was just thinking about something, Lei Yuxiu, why do you think I'm on the name card?"

"I don't know." Lei Yuxiu changed his posture and continued to close his eyes.

"I always feel uneasy about appointing me, the nameless daughter of a criminal minister, into the palace."

Lei Yuxiu just held Chang Xiaoman's hand tightly again, without saying a word.

"Lei Yuxiu, do you know what crime my father committed?"

Lei Yuxiu shook his head, "I'm afraid my mother doesn't even know about this."

Chang Xiaoman pursed his lips and sighed lightly.

"By the way, this time I'm entering the palace to introduce you to someone." Lei Yuxiu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"who?"

"You will know when you go."
