There is always a rival who wants to attack me 2

At this moment, Li Xi in the Hou's mansion was also preparing for the son-raising banquet.

Flipping the scroll casually, a sly smile curved his lips.

Some people have never been here since they were tricked out by themselves that day.But this time he raised his son, he couldn't get away with anything.

Seeing the two attendants helping him choose the clothes for tomorrow, Li Xi put down his book, got up and walked over.

"Master, which one do you think is better? Chi Xiao said that the moon blue one is more suitable for the skin tone, but I think this blue one looks good, what do you think?"

"Well, it's all right." Li Xi took a look.

Most of these clothes were sent by Lu Hou's people a few days ago.The material is fine and the workmanship is luxurious, but it has the style of a son of a prince.It's a pity that the work is done in a hurry, and the stitches are always a little rough, which cannot withstand scrutiny.

"Then which one are you going to wear tomorrow?"

"Don't wear it, let's leave it there!" Li Xi shook his head, turned around and went back to the table: "Maybe someone will bring a better one tonight. Right, Chi Xiao?"

"..." When his name was called suddenly, Chi Xiao was also taken aback for a moment.Facing Shang Li Xi's meaningful eyes, he felt even more guilty.

Yesterday the master ordered someone to bring a set of clothes, although he didn't bring any words, but the meaning was very clear, it was to let him find a way to coax Li Xi to put it on.

But now it seems that it is a little difficult.

Seeing Chi Xiao's distressed expression, Li Xi didn't force him to answer, but changed the subject on his own: "How about the matter I asked you to investigate earlier? Has there been any result?"

"Yes, but I'm still not completely sure. Doctor Mo also said that a more detailed pulse diagnosis is needed before a final conclusion can be reached. However, based on past pulse conditions, my guess is probably correct." Seeing him asking about the business , Chi Xiao also corrected his expression.

"Since that's the case..." Li Xi tapped the table with his fingertips, and Li Xi's eyes became more interested: "Tomorrow, I will find an excuse to invite Doctor Mo to come to the mansion, and by the way, I will mention some people who serve the great aunt. Now the step-wife is still alive. Inconvenience, there must be a smart person by my father's side."

"You want to..."

"I didn't think about anything." Casually throwing an orange on the desk to Chi Xiao, Li Xi picked up the pen and continued to point at the copybook at hand: "When you should be confused, you can't be too smart."

"Yes." Chi Xiao responded, and stopped talking, but Li Xi's tone always made him pay special attention.

He has a natural fear of Li Xi.Especially after serving him closely, this feeling became more and more profound.

Li Xi's way of acting is very similar to that of his master, and even his way of thinking is exactly the same.It may seem casual, but in fact every sentence has a deep meaning hidden.It's just that the character is worse, and it seems that it takes pleasure in teasing people.

After being hinted by Li Xi when they met for the first time, Chi Xiao wanted to have a showdown with him and tell him all about his background, but he never found the opportunity.

Originally, he thought it was because he could not gain Li Xi's trust, but the next task he entrusted to him made him overthrow this guess.

When it came to the Hou family's secrets, he didn't shy away from it at all. If he didn't really regard himself as a confidant, he definitely wouldn't be so decisive.

So, what kind of person is he?

Chi Xiao felt that he had not figured it out.He even had the illusion that he was like a mouse exposed to a cat, and that every move he made was under Li Xi's control.

Huan Lang Yuan

Mrs. Jihou was sitting in front of the embroidery frame by the window, quietly embroidering a picture of spring rain, with a very gentle look on her face.

Her current situation is very bad, like house arrest.Although Lu Hou had dispelled his doubts about the child in her womb, the incident of greed for ink still made him feel alienated.

Therefore, even if the situation changes, it is only a drop in the bucket.And even years of savings had to be completely handed over.

Years of painstaking efforts, all ruined in one day, made her extremely resentful for the result.But at this time, under the hedge of others, there is only temporary restraint.Fortunately, Lu Weiyao is awake and her injury has improved, which made her feel at ease, she can let go of her hands and feet temporarily, and concentrate on dealing with those people in the house who stand in the way.

"What are your plans?" the man in black asked.He was vaguely aware of Madam Ji Hou's plan, but he didn't know exactly how she was going to do it.Since something went wrong in Huanlang Courtyard last time, Lu Yunxi's actions have become more and more meticulous, and there is no chance to devise schemes.As for that aunt of the Lu family, she spent more money from the elders and followed the ancestral law in everything, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Now is not the time." Putting down the embroidery needle in her hand, Madam Ji Hou's eyes flashed with malice: "What about the things I asked you to do before?"

"It's all done."

"Then just wait. As soon as the time comes, no matter if it's that bastard Lu Yunxi or those old men from the Lu family, they will all have to kneel in front of me and kowtow to make amends!" Standing up, Mrs. He took out a square wooden box and handed it to the man in black: "Find a chance to bury this in my yard. Remember, don't be discovered by anyone."

"Got it." The man in black took it, opened it for a look, and then changed his expression.

It turned out that there was a rough wooden doll inside the box, with silver needles piercing his chest, and his birth date belonged to Mrs. Jihou.

It's just that the handwriting, no matter how you look at it, looks like it was written by Li Xi himself...

Regent's House

"Master..." The dark guard who came back from the Marquis' Mansion pondered his tone and didn't know how to respond, and the wooden box in his hand was like a hot potato.

The art of witchcraft has always been a taboo of the royal family, once it is involved, it will be a crime of exterminating the entire family.This Mrs. Hou's successor is really daring, she stretched out her hand to touch everything.

Taking a peek at the Prince Regent's face, the dark guard's voice became hoarse, and he couldn't answer smoothly for a while.

At this moment, the regent's expression was very calm, and even the fingers holding the teacup were in an elegant posture.But the aura around him was extremely depressing, and it was extremely difficult to even breathe.

"Master..." The dark guard opened his mouth slowly and wanted to ask, but felt that his hands were empty, and when he looked up again, he found that there was no one in the study.

Hanzhang Pavilion

Li Xi had already finished bathing, and was resting on the soft couch.Suddenly the candles on the table flickered, and there were more people in the room.But there is an inconspicuous square box on the small rattan table beside the soft couch.

"For me?" Li Xi raised his eyebrows, and instead of asking why he came, he reached out to pick up the box curiously and wanted to open it.

"Don't move." The regent pressed his hand, with anger and worry hidden in his eyes.As if wanting to make sure that he was all right, the regent lowered his head and looked at him carefully.

Noticing his seriousness and strangeness, Li Xi blinked, stretched out his hand neatly to hook his neck, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Since you're so worried, wouldn't it be more reassuring to touch than to see?" ?”
