There is always a rival who wants to attack me 2

The cold tone mixed with obvious malice made Lu Weiyao shudder.He took a step back subconsciously, trying to avoid Li Xi's burning gaze, but accidentally tripped and fell into the wet mud on the shore.

"Young master!" The maid screamed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Weiyao up, the scene was in chaos.

At this moment, an angry voice came from behind: "What are you doing!"

When everyone turned their heads, they saw Master Lu standing not far away, accompanied by two young masters, they were all stunned.

Lu Weiyao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knelt down to salute, the complacent expression on his face disappeared, and he became panicked.

He is very familiar with these two young sons, they are from his mother and Lu Yunxi's biological mother's family.It's just a coincidence that both of them are born in the same family, and their father is Lu Yunxi's mother's biological brother.Looking at the light-colored clothes and tightly frowning of the two people, Lu Weiyao immediately guessed why they came.

There are three days left before the death of Mrs. Xianhou, as the mother's family, they must have come to discuss the sacrificial ceremony.Originally, this matter could be big or small, but today he chose to dress up in order to suppress Li Xi, which really broke the rules.And more importantly, how much did they hear what he just blurted out?

My father will certainly not blame, I am afraid that the two cousins ​​will pass the word to the grandmother's No. [-] middle school after they go back.The old lady didn't like herself and her mother, if she knew what happened today, she didn't know what method she would use to ridicule him.

Biting his lower lip tightly, cold sweat dripped from Lu Weiyao's forehead, thinking hard about how to deal with it.

Li Xi, who was still in the stream, slowly stood up from the water, walked forward, bowed and said, "Father is well, Yunxi is back."

"Hmph." Marquis Lu's face remained sullen, but he still suppressed his anger in front of outsiders, and just said in a cold voice: "Come back when you come back, what's the trouble like this!"

With this sentence, he intends to blame all the faults on Li Xi.

In fact, he entered the garden early in the morning, and he heard clearly what Lu Weiyao said.Although he knew how presumptuous these words were, he didn't want to go into details.

For Lu Yunxi, the son-in-law, Lu Hou's feelings are very complicated, and he even has some subtle fear and hatred.Although I felt a little pity for the reason of getting a wife and blood relationship, but when I thought of the fortune teller's comment and all the troubles he had in the mansion, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

On the other hand, he really felt sorry for Lu Weiyao.Such a beautiful and lovely child should be the dignified jewel in the palm of the Hou family, but because of their identities, they cannot recognize each other, and even their names are separated by a layer of intimacy.Even though he managed to get on the genealogy, he still couldn't be recognized by the clan. These years are really too hard.

Therefore, even if Lu Weiyao made a mistake, he didn't want to get to the bottom of it.

And Lu Weiyao also fully understood Lu Hou's thoughts, so he calmed down a bit, moved to his side, grabbed his sleeve, and whispered like a child who had made a mistake: "Daddy, two cousins."

With a pleading and stunning face, every look and look is charming.The two cousins ​​looked at each other, and couldn't bear to be too harsh.

After Mrs. Xianhou passed away, Mrs. Hou married into the Hou Mansion as a successor, and the relationship between the two families has not changed. They and Lu Weiyao are also childhood sweethearts and grew up together.Even though they knew it was wrong, they still kept silent when they gravitated toward him in terms of intimacy.

Li Xi watched these four people acting from a distance, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart.

In the original world, Lu Yunxi was not wronged at all when he lost to Lu Weiyao.Everyone around him is so indistinguishable from right and wrong, and his biological father even treats him like dust and dirt, so what if he is talented, intelligent and knowledgeable?

After all, it can be counted as a secret, and it can't match the hearts of the people.

"That's all, take the young master back to the room. Also make some ginger soup. It's the time when the wind is strong, so don't catch the wind and cold." Not noticing the change in Li Xi's expression, Lord Hou waved his hand, signaling the maid to take Lu Weiyao away.

The two cousins ​​also tacitly agreed, and even secretly breathed a sigh of relief that Lu Weiyao had escaped punishment.

Lu Weiyao took leave in a low voice, and then prepared to leave with the help of the maid.The moment he passed by, he glanced at Li Xi proudly, and his lips moved silently: "Acknowledge your fate, you are nothing here."

The personal maid beside him also showed a sarcastic look at the right time, looking at Li Xi as if she was watching another joke.

"Heh." Seeing this, Li Xi couldn't help laughing.He suddenly stretched out his hand, pushed away the maid beside Lu Weiyao, then raised his foot and kicked Lu Weiyao to the ground.

"You can't go anywhere until you make amends with my mother!" Before Lu Weiyao could react, Li Xi stepped on his chest again, lowered his body, and slapped him hard across the face.

"Ah!" Lu Weiyao screamed.The two Biao masters were also frightened by Li Xi's brutal methods, and the attendants and maids around them were even more chaotic.

"Evil! You're crazy!" Lu Hou took a step forward and pulled Li Xi away, while protecting Lu Weiyao behind him, almost hitting Li Xi's face with his raised hand.

However, Li Xi simply raised his face, remained motionless, without any intention of dodging, and said quickly: "You are crazy..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Hou angrily: "You bastard, you have been in the backcountry for a long time, and you don't even know what the rules are? Dare to bully brother in front of me, is it going to turn the world upside down?" ? Even if there is a guest here today, I can’t tolerate it. Come, come and go to the family law. After [-] lashes, I will lock him up in the ancestral hall to repent!”

"Yes!" The servant left in response.While Li Xi was held down by the shoulders and knelt on the ground.

Lu Weiyao felt great pain on his body and face, he couldn't help but pinched the corner of Lu Hou's clothes and wept softly.

Originally the most beloved son, now he was injured and wronged, so naturally his heart ached.Looking at Li Xi who was forced to kneel on the ground, Lu Hou couldn't help becoming more angry, picked up his whip and ordered: "Lu Yunxi, admit your mistake to your brother!"

"I refuse!" Li Xi raised his head and looked at him, and said in a hurry: "As an adopted son, Lu Weiyao disregarded his status and human relations, and wantonly suppressed and insulted the blood of the direct line. This is disrespectful. The first mistress died, wearing red and green hair There is no meaning of reminiscence, this is unfilial. The two children who are waiting to be married sing lyrics and sing songs in broad daylight at the junction of the inner and outer courtyards to express their love. It should have been severely punished according to the family rules, but you ignored it. Yunxi had no choice but to complain about her mother, but she would be reprimanded by you. The two cousins ​​are here today, so I will ask you, is your attitude trying to Where is my mother? And where is the prestige and reputation of the Lu family? Not to mention that if this matter gets out of the house, it will be accused of impeachment and frame by the censor. If you are not strict, you will be convicted at the same time. If you don’t care about it now, is it possible that you will regret it when the disaster hits you? How can an adopted son ruin the reputation of the Lu family for a hundred years!"

Every word is reasonable, and every sentence is heartbreaking.Li Xi's words seemed presumptuous, but there was a word of reason everywhere.Lu Weiyao is favored, but he is no match for Renlun.No matter how biased Lu Hou's heart is, he can't ignore the law.

For a moment, Lu Hou was speechless, and his face turned blue and red.It's not good to hit the whip in your hand, and you will lose face if you put it down.

The status of the concubine and concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty is strictly defined, and the current emperor is even more disgusted with the courtiers who have no regard for human relations.

This is also the reason why Lu Hou acquiesced when Mrs. Ji Hou secretly changed the concept and let Lu Weiyao take the identity of Li Xi's eldest son in the genealogy.

If the sage found out that he exiled the young son-in-law because of the words of a fortune-teller, his official career might also be cut off.

A lie repeated many times becomes the truth.Mrs. Jihou's appearance of dove occupying the magpie's nest not only deceived everyone, even Lu Hou, who knew everything, was willing to indulge in it, only thinking that Lu Weiyao was his own heir.

This idea has been maintained for more than ten years, but Li Xi's words today exposed all the cover-ups and exposed them to the broad daylight, which made it impossible for Lu Hou to continue pretending to be stupid.

"Ten years of life and death are boundless. If you don't think about it, you will never forget it. The words of the ancients are not always true. In the end, they are all self-deceiving fallacies. People live in such a short few decades. No matter how deep the friendship is, how can the enemy sleep together? ten years?"

Li Xi's voice was very soft, but it was three parts depressed, three parts sad and four parts painful: "In three days, it will be the anniversary of my mother's death. This garden is also the place where you and her became friends. My brother used to play here with Yunxi in front of his mother's knees when he was young. Now things are different and people are different, haven't they all changed..."

The choked sobs that suppressed the sadness made Master Hou's heart tighten, and all kinds of emotions arose in an instant.

The young man knelt under the peach tree, looking embarrassed, but his back was stubbornly straight.

Plain clothes and black hair, a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes are like cold jade in the cold pool, just one glance can win people's hearts and souls, even the delicate peach blossoms in this garden are just the foil behind him.

At the age of 15, he is also a twin. It is a good age for male and female indistinguishable. The facial features similar to those of his biological mother seem to have passed through time and space, allowing Lu Hou to go back to the first meeting scene with Mrs. Xianhou decades ago.

The number one talented woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, she has an extremely gentle and virtuous temperament.Although the life after marriage is a bit dull, but after all, it is a teenager's longing, and it is also very loving.

Originally, after Mrs. Hou entered the mansion, he no longer thought of this wife.But now, seeing his son-in-law, who has been away from home for many years, appear in front of him with such a miraculous attitude, he can't help but recall the tranquility of that year.

Indeed, after the death of Fa's wife, no matter how many beauties and soft words there are, no one can sing the piano and play the piano with her, and add fragrance to her red sleeves like her.

Everyone in the world knows that he has a deep affection for his wife, but who knows that he has already forgotten her for more than ten years.Even because of pampering the eldest son too much, even the profanation of her death day can be lightly let go.As for Lu Yunxi, the child she left behind, she has ignored him for many years, and now that he has returned to the mansion, he has not been given the honor he deserves.

Whether public or private, in the end it was he who failed the mother and son.

Hou Ye was slightly taken aback, and for a moment he didn't dare to look at Li Xi.As for the two young masters, they also restrained their expressions and sighed endlessly.

"Forget it. You have grown up these years." After a long time, Lu Hou put down the whip in his hand, with a tired expression on his face: "Send the young master to the ancestral hall, take a bath and fast to copy the scriptures to show filial piety, and you can't come out until after the death of your wife As for Lu Yunxi... since you miss your mother, I will order someone to take you to see her tomorrow."

"Father!" Lu Weiyao shouted in disbelief.He couldn't believe what he heard at all.

His father wanted to lock him up in the ancestral hall?Or is it because of Lu Yunxi, an unknown disaster star who is self-denying and self-denying?

Lu Weiyao hurriedly grabbed Lu Hou's cuff and pleaded, and at the same time kept hinting to the two cousins ​​with his eyes, hoping that they could speak for him.

But Hou Lu just sighed in a low voice, then turned and left on his own.As for the two young masters, they hurriedly followed behind him and left together.

The farce ended, and the originally lively garden suddenly became deserted. Li Xi stood up from the ground, looked at Lu Weiyao who was about to be sent to the ancestral hall, and deliberately asked: "Remember to be more thoughtful when copying scriptures, so that the Buddha can Many blessings."

"Lu Yunxi, you despicable villain!" Lu Weiyao gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn't dare to move after all.

"To each other, we will have a long life together." Li Xi replied with a smile, the last four words were very meaningful.

But when Lu Weiyao saw the smile on his face, his body couldn't help but feel chills, and his heart was even more clouded with uneasiness.

HuanLang Garden

Mrs. Ji Hou sat in the main seat and frowned slightly listening to the message from her mother-in-law: "So Lord Hou punished Yao'er because of Lu Yunxi?"

"It's not considered a punishment." Mammy carefully thought about the appropriate wording: "It's a nominal grounding, but in fact, someone has already sent someone to arrange it. There is no shortage of food and clothing. Don't worry too much. The Marquis still feels sorry for you." Young master. It's just that the second son took the word, so I had to cover it up."

"Hmph, cover up?" Mrs. Ji Hou snorted coldly, her eyes were a little colder: "Since you know that he can even hold Master Hou with words, why do you dare to call Er Er like this? Son?"

"This..." The nanny in charge was speechless, standing awkwardly, not knowing how to reply.

"Go down!" Mrs. Ji Hou flung her sleeves to chase people away, and then she was stunned by holding a teacup.

This Lu Yunxi really surprised her.Before taking him back to the mansion, she sent someone to investigate carefully.

It is said that except that Lu Yunxi is smarter than others in reading, everything else is mediocre and has no strengths.And when he first entered the mansion, he also tried it himself, and he came to the same conclusion.That's why he was relieved to let his son mess around.

Unexpectedly, Lu Weiyao turned the boat in his hands.

Could it be that he has been acting with himself?

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the inarticulate Lu Yunxi was as eloquent and calculating every step of the way in just two hours.

Damn it, Mrs. Ji Hou subconsciously squeezed the teacup tightly in her hand, raised her voice to call her personal maid to come in, and whispered something in her whisper.

"But will this..." The maid hesitated.

"It can only be like this. Master Hou values ​​face the most, and Yao'er made mistakes in front of the two younger cousins ​​today. If she doesn't suffer some grievances, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult. However, Master Hou is soft-hearted and sincere. I love you so much, seeing him go through hardships, I’m sure I can’t bear it. Let’s beat the side drums again, and we won’t know what’s right and wrong right now.”

Picking out a ginseng whisker from the teacup and putting it on the saucer at hand, and then pouring out a more complete section from the pot, Mrs. Ji Hou smiled and said slowly: "Throw it from here, we can find it from the other side." Let Yaoer rest assured, I will definitely make the decision for him."

----------------

On the other side, Li Xi also returned to his yard.

Intentionally or not, Mrs. Jihou arranged for Li Xi's residence in a very delicate location.Although it is next to the outer study room, it still belongs to the inner courtyard where the female relatives live.As for the layout in the courtyard, it is even more intriguing.

Especially the Pixiu stone sculpture on the left, the dragon head, horse body, and lin feet are all very exquisite, and the meaning seems to be good. It has the meaning of attracting wealth and warding off evil spirits, but in fact it does hide irony.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, only businessmen like to use Pixiu to house their houses.However, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants, although rich in wealth, have the lowest status, and are called sidelines.It is self-evident that Mrs. Jihou put such an auspicious beast here.

"Hanzhang Pavilion." Li Xi raised his head and glanced at the words on the plaque, and it was indeed equally wonderful.

"Book of Changes" has a cloud: Liu San contains Zhang Kezhen.Or from the king's affairs, there is no success and no end.It means that if you behave in the world implicitly, even if you don't have any achievements, you can have a good death.

So, Mrs. Jihou is warning herself?

"Oh, it's interesting." Li Xi chuckled, then stepped over the threshold and walked in.

Different from the hints everywhere outside the house, the decoration inside the house is extremely luxurious and precious. The floor is made of floor tiles carved from warm jade, and the octagonal glazed palace lantern above the head is made of the most valuable oriental glass.As for the nanmu furniture inlaid with ivory decorations, they are even more intricately carved, which is breathtaking, and even more set off by the shabby luggage he brought from his hometown.

Standing in front of Duobao Pavilion, Li Xi picked up an exquisite jade pot and played with it, but was interrupted by a somewhat frivolous male voice.
