At this moment, Lu Hou was full of ecstasy, and he didn't notice the subtle atmosphere of Yulang Courtyard at all, and he even ignored the frame of Taiyuan Hospital parked at the corner gate.

Because there is only one thought in his heart, that is, he is going to have a son.

Originally, when he first went to court, Lu Hou was still in a panic.

Sure enough, in the memorial submitted by the censor early in the morning, he specifically mentioned the commotion in the Hou's residence at night, and the Imperial Hospital also carefully responded to the night visits.Perhaps because of the turmoil of seizing the prostitute, the current emperor's control over the Gao family family is particularly strict. Even when he despised the prostitute and sent him back to his hometown, he had passed the investigation of the imperial censor.

If it wasn't for Li Xi's witty and reasonable excuse yesterday, the news of Lu's family being unknown today and the news of his ancestor's punishment from heaven would spread throughout the capital.

As expected of his blood, he is indeed smart and cunning.At the same time, because of what the fortune teller said before, his dislike for Li Xi was much less, and before he entered the house, he received a report from his servants saying that Mrs. Jihou was pregnant, which made him even more ecstatic, and felt that this The decision to bring the child back was very correct.

After all, there has been no news of such a happy event in the Hou's Mansion for more than ten years. Back then, the fortune-teller said that he was destined to have no children, and he has accepted his fate for so many years. Unexpectedly, he is middle-aged, and there is such a chance.However, he never expected that as soon as he walked into the bedroom, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

In the huge house there were only two maidservants accompanying them, not even an experienced nun.Although there were two doctors standing in the corner, one of them was dressed in a hospital, but it was not the one who focused on obstetrics.

As for his stepwife, who was expecting an heir that he had been looking forward to for many years, she was standing on the ground and confronting her first son in thin and simple clothes. Not only did she not receive meticulous care, she also seemed to be in a conflict and was so angry that she couldn't stand steadily and fell forward.

"Hurry up, protect Madam!" Lu Hou ordered anxiously, but it was too late.Mrs. Jihou had already fallen face down heavily.There is no doubt that as long as the belly is on the ground, this baby will definitely not survive.Lu Hou was very anxious and wanted to replace him, but he didn't have any chance.

But now Li Xi, who is in the middle of the game, feels completely opposite.

Because of the close distance, he could more clearly see the smug smile on Mrs. Jihou's face and the viciousness in her eyes that wanted to put him to death.

Li Xi finally realized his major mistake.Xu Shi hasn't been to such a pure ancient world for a long time, but he has neglected one more important thing, which is the viciousness of the women in the back house and the strict defense of men and women.

First of all, he went directly into Mrs. Jihou's house, which was the biggest mistake.

Even though he is a twin and has a nephew relationship with Mrs. Jihou, he is not biological after all, and Lu Yunxi was originally a foreigner.Even if the situation is special and he needs to come forward to maintain the situation, he should not have walked into Mrs. Jihou's bedroom so directly, let alone let Mrs. Jihou approach him within three steps when he knew the situation was wrong.

However, it was too late now, Mrs. Ji Hou was close at hand with a sneering face, while Lu Hou stood helplessly outside the door.

If Mrs. Ji Hou's pregnancy is lost, and the evidence is there, he will not be able to get rid of it despite all kinds of excuses, and the situation that he has worked so hard to reverse before will be wiped out in an instant.

This woman is so ruthless that she even counts her unborn child.

Li Xide's heart was burning with anger, but time was running out and he didn't allow him to think, so he could only step forward to protect her carefully.

However, just when Li Xi touched the corner of Mrs. Jihou's clothes, she was pushed by her. Then, Mrs. Jihou's whole body also rushed towards him from a strange angle.

not good!

Li Xi instinctively wanted to resist, but before he stretched out his hand to push the person away, his reason told him no.Because no matter what, he can't let Mrs. Jihou have something to do, otherwise, the next situation will become difficult.

The two fell heavily to the ground, and the Duobao Pavilion next to it was also knocked down. The exquisite porcelain placed on it shattered to the ground, and Li Xi and Mrs. Jihou fell into the mess on the ground.

Severe pain came from his right hand, and Mrs. Ji Hou's body also fell on top of him.And Li Xi, who was firmly suppressed, finally saw what her purpose was.

It turns out that falling and being framed are all superficial illusions, and Mrs. Jihou's real target is his right hand.There are two weeks until the palace examination, if the right hand is seriously injured and unable to participate, it will have to wait three years before the next chance.And in these three years, Mrs. Hou had many opportunities to make him unable to continue, and disappeared in the back house of the Hou Mansion.

"Anyone who has a father but no mother will be so naive and impulsive, but you are the son of Lord Hou, and now you are also my son. I will teach you the same with my own hands." The gentle voice like water only makes people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts. Xi's right hand, which was pressed by Mrs. Jihou's body, became more and more painful as she whispered in her ear.

Li Xi raised his head and stared at her eyes, but in exchange for more wanton ridicule: "What? Finally figured it out? But there is no way, even if you know I did it on purpose, you don't dare to push me away." It seemed that she noticed someone As he approached, Madam Jihou's voice became softer: "Lu Yunxi, you framed our mother and son and fell out of favor, so I will cut off your way to the palace examination. This is reciprocity. I mainly warn you, don't try to disobey me, otherwise I will kill you I don’t even know how to die! Just like your stupid mother who wanted to pave the way for me before she died!”

As she finished speaking, the maids who were stunned by the accident finally came to their senses and stepped forward to separate the two.The imperial physician on the other side was also busy diagnosing Mrs. Jihou's pulse.

"How about it, don't worry about the child!" Lu Hou also hurried into the room, nervously guarding the bedside.As for Li Xi who was still lying on the ground, he didn't pay any attention at all.

"Master." Li Xi's personal attendant helped him up, and couldn't help screaming when he felt the wetness of his sleeve.

Unlike Mrs. Jihou's seemingly unharmed appearance, Li Xi who was pressed under her was seriously injured.I don't know where it was scratched, but once the blood came, it started from the palm of the hand and continued from the inside of the sleeve.The blood that flowed out dyed the entire sleeve red, dripping down the porcelain white fingertips to the ground.

"It doesn't matter." Li Xi shook his head, signaling him to keep quiet, then eased the pain in his body and approached Mrs. Jihou's bed.

"Is the step-wife's fetal image stable?" He asked the imperial physician.

"Fortunately, the second master responded quickly, and there is no serious problem." The imperial doctor seemed to see the embarrassment of Li Xi's situation, and couldn't help but say something nice for him.

"That's the case, then I can rest assured. The father has already returned, and the son will leave first." Hearing his kindness, Li Xi thanked him with a salute, then turned to Lu Hou, and left.

As for the injury on his hand, he didn't mention a word.As for Lu Hou, he didn't seem to notice it at all.

Hanzhang Pavilion

Li Xi sat on the main seat in the main hall without saying a word, and let the attendants of Shuang'er around him apply medicine and bandage him.

The atmosphere in the hall was condensed, and it was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be clearly heard.

"Master." The attendant said cautiously: "It's a matter, let's forget it?"

"Of course not." Li Xi's eyes were filled with frost: "Go get a pen and paper, I have my own way."
