Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.
Chapter 419 Trap
Seeing him smile, Xu Huaiyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Were you at the scene? Didn't you think of jumping into the water to save people?"
Su Zhe stroked the wine glass and snorted, "I'm not stupid, how can I not see that it's a setup?"
"Who is it for?"
"I don't know. It wasn't directed at me. Seeing that cousin panicking and struggling, the situation is out of her control. The men who saved her are not particularly outstanding in terms of family background and ability. If she wants to rely on someone to find a good husband, then she will lose both the wife and the army. It's not worth it."
Xu Huaiyi was thoughtful.
Su Zhe asked curiously, "What did you think of?"
Xu Huaiyi whispered, "It feels like someone took the opportunity to take revenge on the cousin of the Marquis' Mansion. Otherwise, why are all the people who went into the water so mediocre? Was there no decent person by the lake at that time?"
Su Zhe mocked, "Any decent person would have enough brains. Who would be so stupid? It's not worth it to get into trouble for nothing. If the one who fell into the water was a daughter of the Marquis's family, perhaps they would rush over. My cousin doesn't have that much weight."
Xu Huaiyi sighed, "That makes sense, but I still think someone is plotting behind the scenes. Otherwise, that cousin must be out of her mind to have made such a bad move. Not only did she not get a good son-in-law, but she also lost her reputation. No matter how you look at it, it's a big loss. If I say there's no trick here, do you believe it?"
"Then who do you think it is?"
Xu Huaiyi shook his head and inexplicably thought of Li Yunting. Could it be that he was the one who arranged this?
Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise, followed by a panicked apology, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."
Xu Huaiyi looked down and saw some vegetable soup on the hem of his clothes. He took out a handkerchief and wiped it, but it was no use; the stain was still obvious.
The apologies continued, and many guests around looked over.
Xu Huaiyi raised his eyes to look at the servant who had caused the trouble. The other party's eyes were red and he looked panicked. He kept apologizing to him. He looked very pitiful. He waved his hand casually and said, "Forget it. Be careful next time."
After hearing this, the other party was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."
Seeing this, Su Zhe frowned and scolded, "Why don't you get off?"
The other person bent over, his face full of surprise at having survived a disaster, "Yes, yes, thank you very much, sir..."
The other party left quickly and didn't bother me any further.
Seeing this, Xu Huaiyi and Su Zhe looked at each other calmly. Was it an accident or a calculation?
It was an accident, indeed a bit of a coincidence, but it was also a plot, so why was there no follow-up? The usual routine was to ask him to change his clothes, and then do something in the room and he could be easily trapped.
But now, should this play continue?
Su Zhe whispered, "It's better to be cautious, just be patient."
Xu Huaiyi nodded in agreement. Although he had the RV as a cheat and antidote pills, he was confident that he could resolve any conspiracy, but he should avoid taking risks. What if he failed?
My wife will beat him to a pulp!
He couldn't afford to gamble.
So, the two of them continued to eat calmly.
The other guests looked at each other, but did not offer any suggestions at this time to avoid getting into trouble.
The meal was sumptuous, and Xu Huaiyi ate with gusto, seemingly unaffected by what had just happened.
Su Zhe said admiringly, "It has to be you. If it were me, even if I didn't get angry for the sake of my master, I would still have to scold him to vent my anger."
Xu Huaiyi said indifferently, "I am Yunting's guest, so just consider it as giving him face."
"Well, there has never been a good banquet since ancient times!"
"So, try to come less often..."
Su Zhe smiled bitterly, "I can't help myself. There are some things that you can't avoid. Besides, if someone posts an invitation and you always don't go to the banquet, not only will you offend people, but gradually, you will be excluded from all circles. How can you survive then?"
"It's also..."
"You should have brought your sister-in-law and son to today's banquet. Men have their own circles, and women also need to move around and maintain relationships. This is the obligation of every mistress of a household."
Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi said without thinking, "Forget it, my wife hates joining in the fun and dealing with people she doesn't know."
"What about interpersonal relationships?"
"Just go around with the people you know, forget about the people you don't know, and if you really can't refuse, I'll go. I'm not afraid of socializing."
Su Zhe reminded, "Madam diplomacy is still very necessary and can play a key role at certain times."
Xu Huaiyi said indulgently, "No matter how necessary it is, it is not as important as my wife's preferences. I don't want her to be wronged. She obviously doesn't like it, but she has to go out and pretend to be nice to her and waste time. I bring my wife home to love her, not to let her suffer."
Su Zhe was speechless for a moment.
There is really no other man in the Yong Dynasty who loves his wife so much.
At this time, Li Yunting came over, with no emotion on his face, but he walked quickly. He looked at Xu Huaiyi without hesitation and said directly, "I'll take you to change."
Xu Huaiyi's eyes flashed with surprise, "Why are you here?"
Li Yunting explained, "Someone just told me that when the servants in the mansion were serving the dishes, they accidentally spilled the soup on you..."
Xu Huaiyi raised his eyebrows, "Where did you get the message?"
Li Yunting understood what he meant, but still said, "I came here on my own initiative. Come on, I'll take you to my yard to change."
The implication is that if you go to his yard, you will be safe, and even if someone wants to use tricks, they can't get in.
Seeing that he insisted, Xu Huaiyi no longer refused. He had almost finished eating anyway, so he got up and left with him.
After they walked a long way, Xu Huaiyi asked, "Why did you rush here? I was on guard and I definitely won't fall for it."
It was only because of his coming that I became passive.
Li Yunting said, "I guess you won't fall for it, but I want to know what they are planning. If I don't cooperate, this show won't go on."
Xu Huaiyi gave him a thumbs up and said, "You are rising to the challenge, brother. I admire you. But don't sacrifice me too."
Knowing that he was joking, Li Yunting said with a smile, "Good brothers should stick together, right?"
Xu Huaiyi clicked his tongue twice, "You really make the best use of people, aren't you afraid that you will end up losing both of us?"
Li Yunting said, "Don't worry, I have made arrangements, I'm just afraid they won't take action."
"Okay, so you want to play a trick?"
"Well, do you want to help?"
Xu Huaiyi laughed and said, "I really can't bear to stab you in the back, but I can do you a small favor."
Li Yunting raised the corners of his mouth.
"By the way, when we were having dinner just now, I heard the guests at the table say that a woman fell into the water before. Was it an accident or a setup?"
Xu Huaiyi asked casually, and Li Yunting replied calmly, "It was a deliberate arrangement."
"Who arranged it?"
"There were Li Yunxuan, Hu Yueran, and I was also involved."
Xu Huaiyi listened with great interest, "Is it so complicated? Does it involve any family secrets? Please tell me more about it."
Li Yunting obviously didn't have the talent to tell a story, and his story was mediocre. "Hu Yueran is the cousin of the Marquis's mansion, born out of wedlock. Relying on her aunt's favor, she has become somewhat spoiled and willful, looking down on everyone. Because she would beat and kill the servants around her at will, she has a bad reputation. She was not able to get a high-class or low-class marriage, so she was not smooth sailing. Li Yunxuan wanted to plot against me..."
"First, it ruined my marriage with the Zuo family. Second, it made things difficult for me. With a wife like that, my life would be miserable. Third, he could also use this opportunity to get rid of Hu Yueran."
Xu Huaiyi asked curiously, "Is Hu Yueran in love with him?"
"Well, with Hu Yueran's current reputation, it's hard to find a decent marriage. Li Yunxuan is a relatively ideal choice. She is naturally tempted, but Li Yunxuan flirts with her on the surface, but in his heart he looks down on her and is still thinking about finding a capable in-law family for her."
Xu Huaiyi asked again, "If she wanted to plot against you, why didn't she jump into the water when you were here? Wouldn't it be a waste of time? Besides, if you don't jump into the water to save her, she can't blame you."
Li Yunting explained, "I secretly had someone tell Hu Yueran about Li Yunxuan's plan and reminded her that if she didn't want to marry a concubine, she should seize the opportunity and fight for herself."
"She listened to it?"
"She was still a little hesitant, so when we were by the lake, I had someone push her again..."
After a pause, he seemed to be afraid that Xu Huaiyi might misunderstand him, and added, "I have inquired in advance. The maidservant next to Hu Yueran can swim, and there are also good swimmers by the lake. She will not be in danger of her life."
Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "No need to explain, I believe you."
There's nothing wrong with using tricks, but don't lose your bottom line.
Li Yunting put his heart back to where it was and continued, "When Hu Yueran fell into the water, Li Yunxuan was there, but he ignored it and asked his long-time attendant to go into the water to save her. When those playboys who were originally watching the fun saw this, they became interested and that's why they worked together to save her."
Xu Huaiyi suddenly realized, "What happened next?"
Li Yunting said, "After Hu Yueran was rescued, she made a scene and accused Li Yunxuan of not saving her and letting his attendant humiliate her. This is why all those messy people wanted to take advantage of her and ruin her reputation. So, she asked Li Yunxuan to take responsibility..."
"Haha, does Li Yunxuan shoot himself in the foot? Is his cleverness the opposite of his own?"
"Well, according to the news from the main courtyard, it is very likely that their marriage will be settled."
"Won't Li Yunxuan be so angry that he will die?"
"That's what he deserves. He brought this upon himself."
While the two were talking, they arrived at the courtyard where Li Yunting lived smoothly. They didn't encounter any unusual situations on the way, which made Xu Huaiyi a little disappointed. Could it be that he was overthinking?
Just as I was about to enter the door, someone finally appeared, running towards me with a look of urgency on his face.
Xu Huaiyi was waiting to see how the other party would perform with great interest, but when Li Yunting saw the woman, his expression immediately changed, "Qiushuang, what happened?"
Qiu Shuang's eyes were red, and she said anxiously, "Master, please go and see my aunt. My aunt, she..."
"What's wrong with mother?"
"My aunt vomited blood..."
"What?" Li Yunting's face turned pale and he asked harshly, "He was fine this morning, why did he vomit blood for no reason?"
Qiu Shuang shook her head helplessly. "I don't know either. Auntie was eating when she suddenly coughed. I thought she was choking, so I patted her back a few times. Who would have thought that Auntie would spit out a mouthful of blood..."
"Did you call a doctor?"
"I've already called them, sir, you should go and have a look too."
Li Yunting hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Xu Huaiyi.
Xu Huaiyi pushed him and said, "Why are you still standing there? Go quickly. If you need my help, send someone to tell me."
If there weren't so many rules preventing him from entering the backyard, he would have accompanied her to visit.
Li Yunting warned worriedly, "Then you must be careful."
Xu Huaiyi waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, go and take a look. If it's difficult, ask Doctor Jiao to come."
"Thank you in advance..."
Not everyone can invite Doctor Jiao. After hearing Xu Huaiyi's words, Li Yunting's anxious heart suddenly felt more at ease.
He called the servant in the yard to serve Xu Huaiyi, and then left in a hurry. Xu Huaiyi did not rush in. He looked around. This place was a little remote and few people passed by, but the scenery was beautifully maintained. The clumps of bamboo and flowers outside the door complemented each other.
"Master Xu?"
Seeing that he didn't move, the servant urged him cautiously.
Xu Huaiyi glanced at him calmly, "What's your name?"
The other party said respectfully, "The servant Yan Shi is serving the pens and ink in the courtyard of the Fourth Young Master."
"Serve with pens and ink. He is a person trusted by your fourth young master..." How could an ordinary person enter the study?
"My lord, you are showing me your love for me..."
Every question was answered without any mistakes, and the attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
Xu Huaiyi didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably repelled by this man called Yan Shi. He walked in slowly, admiring the scenery and asking questions along the way, trying to find some flaws.
Strict but not leaking any details, with a frank and respectful look.
Only after they entered a room did Xu Huaiyi stop asking questions and looked around calmly. The outer room of the room was simply furnished with no place to hide, but the inner room blocked by the screen looked mysterious, like a monster with a bloody mouth.
He did not go in, but let Yan Shi help him get a set of clean clothes. "This is for the Fourth Young Master. It is ready but not worn yet. Do you want me to help you change into it?"
Xu Huaiyi took it and said, "No, I can do it myself."
Yan Shi did not insist and quickly retreated out the door.
After the door was closed, Xu Huaiyi first opened the incense burner and took a look. There was no spice inside. Then, he went into the inner room. There was a bed and a wardrobe in the inner room. He quickly looked through it, but still found nothing.
Xu Huaiyi exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?" Could it be that he was thinking like a villain and thinking like a gentleman?
Or is it that Li Yunting guarded the yard too strictly, so those people couldn't get in?
While he was thinking, he changed his clothes. He was about the same height as Li Yunting, so the clothes fit him well. After he was dressed, he thought it was not a good idea to stay here for long, and just as he was about to leave, he couldn't help cursing.
Despite all the precautions, I was still tricked.
