   Chapter 216 The man behind the scenes

  Shao Mingyuan moved back silently.

   "Anyway, don't get me wrong, how old is that girl, I'm not blind!"

  Shao Mingyuan looked at Chi Can's expression, and when he saw his righteous expression, he nodded: "Okay, it seems that I think too much."

   "You just like to be cranky, let's go. The girl promised me to make barbecued pork and deer **** for me. It's better to choose a day. It just happens that the restaurant can provide ready-made things. Let's try her craftsmanship today."

   The two walked back side by side, the front of the grape trellis was empty and there was not even a single figure.

   "Where are the people?" Chi Can looked around.

   Shao Mingyuan waved to the guard at the back door.

   Guards rushed over: "What is the general's order?"

   "Where's the girl who just had tea here?"

   "The girl left with the maid and Chenguang."

   "Okay, you go down." Shao Mingyuan waved his hand and turned to Chi Can and said, "I've already left."

   "I see, you don't need to repeat it!" Chi Can said with a dark face, gnashing his teeth.

   "Uh, that barbecued deer breast—"

   "You still mention it?"

  Shao Mingyuan: "..." This is a typical embarrassment, right?

   "I'm leaving!" Chi Can's face was so stinky that he was very annoyed.

   Actually just left, that girl's conscience must have been eaten by a dog, right?

   Seeing his friend leave with a dark face, Shao Mingyuan returned to the grape trellis and sat down, picked up the teacup that Chi Can had used, looked at it, put it back after a while, got up and left Chunfenglou.

   Before night came, Qiao Zhao waited for Chenguang's message.

  Xifu is a small place, with only one pavilion not far from Li Hui's study, where Qiao Zhao met the morning light.

   "Any news?"

The dazzling sunset added a bit of brilliance to Chenguang Junxiu's face, he smiled brightly and said, "My comrade is an expert in interrogation, if he makes a move, even the enemy country's meticulous work will be captured, let alone just a soft-footed shrimp servant. ."

   "So, that little servant has already explained the person behind the scenes?"

"I explained, it is the eldest wife of Shang Shufu, and the aunt of Qiao Gongzi. Tsk tsk, it's the most poisonous woman's heart, Qiao Gongzi has been so miserable, and went to his grandfather's house, and the aunt can't tolerate him so much, and he has to give it to him. He poisoned—" Touching Qiao Zhao's pale complexion, Chenguang suddenly stopped, hesitated, and asked cautiously, "Miss San, what's the matter with you?"

   "I'm fine." Qiao Zhao smiled.

  Chenguang said bluntly: "It's okay, your laugh is worse than crying, ah, don't cry... Are you really crying?"

   found that the corners of Qiao Zhao's eyes were red, Chenguang suddenly felt at a loss, took out a handkerchief and wanted to hand it over, but realized that it was inappropriate, so he was in a hurry.

  The terrain outside the pavilion is open, so there is no need to worry that someone will listen to the conversation between the two, but there is a flower stand more than ten meters away from the pavilion, which can block people's sight.

   Li Jiao, who was behind the flower stand, fixed his eyes on Qiao Zhao and Chenguang, his eyes flickering.

  Looking at the expressions of Reizan and the driver, they didn't look like ordinary masters and servants asking questions.

  Li Jiao's gaze stayed on Chen Guang Junyi's face for a moment, and a guess suddenly appeared in his heart: Could it be that Li San and the driver—

   This sudden thought made Li Jiao's heart skip a beat.

  If Li San and the driver really have an affair, it will be ruined!

   The scene of being smashed by the elders on the spot flashed in his mind, Li Jiao took a deep breath, feeling as if he had poured out the depression of the past few days.

   She took one last look at the pavilion, then raised her feet and went straight to Li Hui's study.

   Not long after Li Huicai returned from Guozijian, he was studying in the study when he heard a knock on the door.

"Who?"

   "Third brother, it's me."

  Li Hui walked over and opened the door: "Why are you here at this time, eldest sister?"

  Li Jiao glanced at the scroll in Li Hui's hand and said with a smile, "Why don't you take a break when you come back from Guozijian and still read?"

  Li Hui smiled and said, "It's always good to work harder. The master said that I can give it a try next year."

  Li Jiao was very happy that his younger brother worked so hard, and said with a smile: "The third brother is so diligent, he will definitely be admitted to the graduate school next year."

   The younger brother will only be sixteen next year. If he is admitted to the birth clerk, it will be a matter of glory, and her eldest sister who is a compatriot will also have a glorious face.

Li Hui smiled shyly: "It's not so easy to get a student. The teacher said that the boy's test is more difficult for some students than the township test and the proficiency test. But don't worry, eldest sister, I will try my best, only by passing the imperial examination as soon as possible and entering the official career, in the future to protect you."

   "We?" Li Jiao didn't react for a while.

   "Yes, you and the third sister. The grandmother said that the third sister has been abducted and sold, and the marriage will be very difficult in the future. Maybe she will stay at home. If I am a big brother, she will not be too wronged..."

  Li Jiao's face remained calm, but he was already very angry in his heart.

   What kind of evil did the third brother have, to compare Li San with her!

  Grandmother, grandmother, kept saying "Grandma said", and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup grandmother poured into the third brother!

   "Big sister?"

Li Jiao instantly regained his senses and smiled: "Anyway, studying should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest. If you are too tired and others don't feel bad, the elder sister will feel bad when they see it. Let's go, let's go for a walk outside, this The sun was about to go down and it wasn't that hot anymore."

   "Okay." Li Hui put down the scroll, and the siblings went out.

In the pavilion, Qiao Zhao had already adjusted his mood, his face returned to a calm look, and he asked Chenguang: "Can that little servant explain the reason?"

   Auntie - No, why did the Mao family do such a poisonous attack on the eldest brother?

   Is it because of cousin Zimo?

  The aunt knew that cousin Zimo had a secret affection for her eldest brother, so she poisoned the eldest brother in order to prevent it from happening?

   But that doesn't make sense.

   Big brother ruined his appearance, even if cousin Zimo wants to marry big brother, it can only be her wishful thinking, neither the grandfather's family nor the big brother himself will consider this matter.

   It's normal for the aunt to be displeased with the eldest brother because of cousin Zimo, but why would she do such a cruel thing?

  Qiao Zhao faintly felt that there was something he couldn't figure out.

   "Three girls, the youngest should report this to the general."

  Qiao Zhao glanced at him and said, "It seems that I say that you won't let you report, so you just listen."

   "Hehehe." Chenguang scratched his head in embarrassment, and smiled with white teeth.

   "Okay, you go."

   Morning light stood still.

"Um?"

   "Does the three girls have something to tell the general?"

   "No." Qiao Zhao denied immediately.

   They are not familiar with each other, what can she say?

   "The little one is gone." Chenguang's face sank.

   Three girls really have nothing to say to the general? He didn't mind being a microphone at all.

  Beside the flower stand, Li Jiao and Li Hui stood side by side, watching the young and handsome driver turn back and leave the pavilion.

   "That person seems to be the driver of the third sister." Li Jiao said hesitantly.

   Recommend Liu Ye's final article "My Bamboo Horse is a Male Match" to new readers (if you can't understand the introduction, ahem, just read the text):

Cheng San liked his uncle's cousin who grew up with him since he was a child, but it was only after a long time that he learned that the handsome and unrepentant cousin of the Han family is a strange creature called "male partner", but unfortunately, she is not the heroine …
