The ending of the young Qingyue's voice was blurred by the night wind, like a whisper, soft and lingering.And those beautiful eyes, which were exactly the same as those of his biological mother, completely soothed Lu Hou's tension in an instant.

Through these eyes, Lu Hou seems to be brought back 16 years ago, when Mrs. Xianhou was alive.

At that time, Marquis Lu had just entered an official position, and he got the official position only after being sheltered by his ancestors. He was not able to cope with going in and out of the official court.I often find myself in a crisis like I am now, speechless.

At that time, it was Fa's wife who stepped forward to rescue him.And now, it was his son.

Lu Hou subconsciously took a step back and let Li Xi step forward, completely surrendering the right to speak.The head of the Supreme Hospital was also a little interested in Lu Hou's actions, and looked up.

"It's a crime to disturb your lord for a small matter in the house. I hope your lord will be merciful. Please take care of your righteous brother's injury later." Li Xi first bowed and saluted, apologizing to the head of the imperial hospital, with a humble attitude, and then scolded The attendant said: "What's the fuss about the house falling down? You should dig and save it. You need to ask your father for instructions on such things? How did you tell you to come during dinner? Today is the big day for the groundbreaking and reconstruction of the ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion. Telling you to be vigilant, you can actually cause trouble! If you don’t back down now, do you want me to ask you to back down?”

A few understated words easily resolved the crisis of "impeding the harmony of heaven" in the Hou Mansion, and the words "Yixiong" from Li Xi's mouth were also very subtle, seemingly casual but full of ridicule and disgust .It also successfully covered up the collapse of the ancestral hall.

After all, it was an outsider who was buried, not the blood of the Lu family.Even if it is unknown, the crime cannot be completely blamed on the Lu family.Even if something is wrong, Lu Weiyao's status as an adopted son is enough to remove the whole Lu family from the face.

The way Li Xi responded was very simple and rude, which fundamentally reflected his own attitude.

In his eyes, Lu Weiyao was not considered to be a member of the Lu family at all, but just an oil bottle brought by his stepmother.It may seem cool, but to the world, it should be taken for granted.

Mrs. Jihou's eyes were full of resentment, and she kept staring at Li Xi, and Lu Hou also frowned because of his unexpected response, as if he wanted to open his mouth to argue.

Li Xi turned his head sideways, raised the corners of his lips slightly towards them, and said silently: "The emperor and the regent."

"..." Lu Hou lost all confidence in an instant, and Mrs. Jihou had no choice but to swallow her resentment and blood.

That's right, no matter who they are, they can't overthrow Li Xi's statement at this time.

They all clearly understand the truth that if they want to keep their current wealth and glory, the reputation of the Hou Mansion must not be hindered.And Li Xi's rhetoric is the most suitable.

Therefore, even Lu Hou and Mrs. Jihou knew that Lu Weiyao was Lu Hou's biological son.But even though the blood of the child obtained by cheating is pure, it cannot be announced to the world.

Mrs. Jihou's complexion was extremely gray, and at this moment Li Xi was talking and laughing with the head of the imperial hospital, which poked the most painful point in her heart.

She worked hard for more than ten years before she managed to gain a firm foothold among the rich and powerful in Kyoto.However, the courtiers who belonged to the emperor and the regent, like the head of the Imperial Hospital, still dismissed her origin and even refused to communicate with her.

But Li Xi has only just returned home, and even bears the notoriety of "restricting relatives", but he can still be respected easily.This was what she couldn't bear the most, and it was also the most humiliating.

But at this moment, she can't do anything.

The well-growthed nails sank into the palms and almost broke.The clenched teeth also tasted the sweetness of blood.Mrs. Jihou lowered her head, trying to control her emotions, but her hatred for Li Xi intensified, and she wished to tear him to pieces immediately.

The reactions of Marquis Lu and his wife were within Li Xi's expectations, and their concerns were also within Li Xi's calculations.

In the final analysis, in the eyes of these two people, the most affectionate thing is the word Qian Quan.Even though he really loves Lu Weiyao, he still loves him the most.

Li Xi became more and more disdainful as he thought about it, but his face was still gentle and refined, without showing a trace of strangeness, he turned his head and said to the head of the imperial hospital: "The ground is being broken at home, and there will inevitably be some chaos. Please talk in the front hall."

"Okay." The head of the courtyard nodded, and walked to the outer courtyard under Li Xi's guidance.As for the little trap in his words, he didn't mean to expose it, but looked at him with more meaningful exploration.

As for whether the Hou Mansion really collapsed the ancestral hall, or planned to rebuild it, everyone also tacitly chose to whitewash the peace.

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

Another half an hour later, a servant came to report, so Lu Weiyao had been rescued.The head of the Imperial Hospital got up to visit, and after prescribing the prescription, he left Hou's mansion.

After finally sending away the giant Buddha at the head of the Imperial Hospital, everyone in the Hou Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Hou also felt exhausted because of the constant turmoil that night.

Mrs. Jihou knelt in the hall and wept silently, while the injured Lu Weiyao was also carried by the servants.

As for Mo Shu, Nanny Liu and others, they were all tied up and thrown on the corridor to wait for Marquis Lu's final decision.

Regardless of the collapse of the ancestral hall, there must be an explanation for the man pretending to be Shuang'er who entered the inner courtyard.

Li Xi sat on the chair at the lower end of Marquis Lu, took a sip of tea slowly, and seemed to be completely unaffected by his relaxed appearance.But when facing Mrs. Shangjihou's face, she deliberately evoked a wicked sneer.

The sky has already turned white, and it will be time for Marquis Lu to go to court in an hour.There must be an affirmative explanation for the commotion in the Hou Mansion at night, because the ancestral hall must be rebuilt, and the ground breaking at the feet of the emperor should be reported to the Ministry of Industry.

"Master Hou..." Mrs. Jihou knelt down at Houhou Lu's feet, unable to speak out from her choked voice, but those eyes filled with water vapor contained thousands of words, which were hard to describe.She tried to make the last struggle, but in her heart, she knew clearly that Lu Weiyao's future was over.After this incident, the circle of elites in the capital will no longer open up for him, and the status of the son-in-law that he worked so hard to plan for him has also disappeared.

Lu Hou turned his head away and remained silent.

Seeing this situation, Li Xi put down his teacup, and persuaded him: "At the beginning when the Holy Majesty succeeded to the throne, he was frustrated in every way because of the chaos in the late emperor's palace. After that, those princes with suspicious bloodlines were also executed one after another, and the family of the family even sat down and wiped out the nine clans. Then, the Queen Mother My mother's family was disgusted by the emperor because of the scandal of wives and concubines, and they were regarded as ordinary people. Three generations were not allowed to take the imperial examination to join the army, which directly cut off the family's luck. Nowadays, everyone in the world knows who doesn't know, and anyone who involves filial piety and chastity, Our emperor has no tolerance for sand. The stepwife, mother and son have delicate identities, so we must be very careful. Whether it is for the Hou family or the Lu clan, father must make a decision early."

Li Xi's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Lu Hou hardened his heart, and said coldly, "If that's the case, your mother and son will move to Hanzhao Temple first. Yao'er is sick, and the house will start construction again. We always have to find A quiet place to cultivate."

Hanzhao Temple, that is a nunnery!Lu Weiyao was so shocked that he couldn't breathe and passed out, and Mrs. Ji Hou couldn't believe that Lu Hou would be so ruthless.

Lu Hou turned his head away, as if he couldn't bear to look any more.But from Li Xi's perspective, he could clearly see the coldness and indifference in his eyes.

The so-called affectionate means ruthless. For Lu Hou, the one who loves the most is always himself.

"I'll leave the rest of the matter to you. It's getting late. I'm going to go to court as my father."

"Yes." Li Xi got up and sent Marquis Lu away.When he returned to the front hall, Mrs. Ji Hou and Lu Weiyao had already been taken away, only Mo Shu and Liu Momo were left waiting for his final trial.

"Second young master, what do you think the rest of the people are going to do with them?" the head of the Hou Mansion asked respectfully.

"No need." Li Xi's tone was indifferent, but the hostility between his brows flashed: "Tell them to keep their mouths shut in the future. As for those schoolboys pretending to be twins..."

After a pause, he continued: "Since they like to serve the inner courtyard, let them serve the inner courtyard as they should. Hanzhao Temple is bitterly cold, and ordinary maids may not be able to serve them well. They have been raised by their stepwife since they were young. By your side, now you should stick to one end."

"You mean..."

Li Xi smiled: "When the Jingtang opens, send it, don't delay Mrs. Jihou on the way."

After finishing speaking, Li Xi turned around and left the main hall, and ignored the desperate cries for mercy behind him.

In the original world, everyone here had spared no effort to frame Lu Yunxi, and under the order of Mrs. Jihou, they pushed Lu Yunxi step by step into the quagmire.Now, it's time for them to repay their debts.

As for Mrs. Jihou and Lu Weiyao, it is not their turn to be completely relieved.Hanzhao Temple is just the first step, and there will be deeper despair waiting for them in the future.

On the other hand, after the head of the Imperial Hospital left Hou's Mansion, he did not return to his home, but went around a circle and entered a heavily guarded mansion in the suburbs of Beijing...
