Early the next morning, when Li Xia arrived at the small Nuan Pavilion, Guo Sheng was already waiting outside the Nuan Pavilion door.

Guo Sheng followed Li Xia into the Nuan Pavilion and lowered his hands and said: "Yesterday, Bo Qiao went, but..." Guo Sheng said what he said yesterday about whether Bai Qiao and Ruan Shiqi were getting married, "... I didn't dare to mention anything else. Fortunately,

Master Qi is smart, and he figured it out. The Bai family's side..."

Guo Sheng raised his head and looked at Li Xia. The Bai family was in charge of the defense from the imperial city to the capital. He thought that the princess had been painstakingly laying out the plan for so many years. Now she could just stop and take the Bai family into her hands. Who knew?

There is no hope at all.

"The Bai family is like this." Li Xia looked happy with a bit of relief, "Since Taizu, as long as the Bai family is in the capital, from the imperial city, sometimes even the palace city, to the defense of the capital, it must be placed

In the hands of the Bai family. It’s because the Bai family is only loyal to the person on the chair.”

Guo Sheng listened intently, these were extremely important words.

"Bo Qiao is willing to go. This is a matter of friendship. That is to say, as long as it is not a matter of rebellion, he can take care of us in other matters. That is enough." Li Xia had a smile on his lips, and after a moment, he smiled again.

He said: "This is a good thing. We should take a long-term view of everything. If the Bai family can turn to us today, they can also turn to other families in the future. Such a Bai family will become a martial artist."

Guo Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and with a slight movement in his heart, he also talked about the rules of the Bai family and how to raise Bai Yue's daughter, Sister.

Li Xia listened attentively and said with a smile: "If you really want to be raised like a concubine, it will break the rules of their Bai family, and Bai Jingning will definitely not allow it.

The Bai family also has a rule that if there are no male sons, their daughter, who has been raised like a boy, will either recruit a son-in-law or return to her parents' family to lead troops and fight like a boy to support the family.

According to this rule, Bai Yue is the one who can return to the Bai family and support the family, so her daughter is naturally a direct descendant of the Bai family, so how can she be raised as a concubine?"

Li Xia thought for a while, "It seems... once or twice, the daughter of the Bai family returned to her natal family, took charge of the army, and supported the Bai family. She is no worse than the boys of the Bai family."

Guo Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said in admiration, "This Bai family is really a favorite."

"There are several great families, each with its own merits. The Ruan family also has many interesting rules, and so does the Lu family. General Lu is the son of an outsider, but speaking of it, he is the youngest son of the direct descendants. Their families have different rules when it comes to direct concubines.

The Lu family also has a rule..."

Li Xia's words stopped abruptly, and then he smiled and said: "The more you talk, the farther you go. At this time, keep an eye on the case in Chen Jiang's hands, as well as the Ministry of Punishment."

Guo Sheng agreed and bowed out.

……………………

The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, Ruan Shiqi went to the Ministry of Punishment and received the task of thoroughly investigating the missing prisoners from Zhou Shangshu. He returned to his hut and gave a series of instructions. The clerks were busy

His heel kicked to the back of his head, but Ruan Shiqi took his horse-embedded whip, took Beihai Nanhai and a dozen other boys with him, got on his horse and went straight to Chen's house.

Several concierges in the Chen Mansion were startled when they saw a group of horses coming towards them like a strong wind. When they saw clearly that it was Ruan Shiqi and others, the group of horses had already rushed to the steps. The concierges were howling and it was too late to close the door again.

.

Nanhai, who was at the forefront, stepped on the horse with one foot, jumped directly up the steps from the horse, kicked open the door, and knocked several concierges who were pushing the heavy door with wide eyes into a ball.

The boy from Nanhai leaned over and grabbed Nanhai's horse. When he jumped down and tied the two horses, Ruan Shiqi had already cracked his whip and rushed into the gate with long strides. The boy hurriedly ran a few steps and followed the surrounding people.

Behind the group of aggressive boys around Ruan Shiqi.

Yesterday afternoon, the news that Ruan Shiqi rushed to the second room of the Li family and whipped Mrs. Guo to the point of death had long been spread throughout the Chen family.

The rules of the Chen family are much stronger than those of the second room of the Li family. Even if the servants and wives wanted to watch the fun, none of them dared to follow them. They just ran around to report the news.

Yesterday I heard that Mrs. Guo Er was beaten to death, so Mrs. Hu fainted several times in one night. Chen Yi guarded her mother and had a frightened nightmare all night.

Mrs. Ma, the old lady of the Chen family, didn’t know who she was scolding. Anyway, she scolded her and gave some instructions. She arrived at Mrs. Hu’s yard early in the morning. Firstly, she wanted to see how Mrs. Hu was doing. Secondly, she had to come over.

Watch, she wants to see what Ruan dares to do to her, an old woman!

Chen Sheng's father, Chen Anqing, had a job at the Ministry of Etiquette, so he naturally took a leave of absence today. Of course, Chen Sheng did not dare to go out and stayed at home, preparing to establish a family.

When they heard that Ruan Shiqi was coming, Chen Anqing and Chen Sheng, who were guarding the Nuang Pavilion not far from Madam Hu's courtyard, hurriedly ran away and rushed to the door of Madam Hu's courtyard to guard.

Ruan Qiyi walked in the front, whipping out the whip in his hand, making screams one after another. Nanhai and Beihai followed Ruan Qiyi on the left and right, holding a waist knife in one hand and preparing for the next.

They were ready to slash out with their swords at any time. Behind the two were a group of young men. The group of people walked very fast. Their momentum was like an arrow leaving the string, carrying a strong murderous intent.

Chen Anqing, who was next to his son Chen Sheng, had his legs shaking a little, "A Sheng, this 17th... master can't really..."

"He dares." Chen Sheng was also in a state of turmoil, full of panic, but he was still much stronger than his father.

"Go and see if the second grandma is feeling better, and if you can come over." Chen Sheng told a woman.

Yesterday afternoon, they had found out everything about the second room of the Li family. Ruan Jinyu didn't beat Mrs. Guo to death on the spot because Grandma Shen San had arrived and begged for mercy. Ruan Jinyu was really coming. If he really couldn't stop her, please give me a favor.

Luo Shi stepped in to block the situation, which was what he, his wife, and his father had agreed upon yesterday.

Ruan Shiqi was seven or eight steps away from the courtyard door, and stopped suddenly. He squinted at Chen Sheng and Chen Anqing, who were blocking the courtyard door with obviously panicked expressions. He lightly stroked his whip to the side twice and said, "Get out of the way."

"What do you want to do? This is the foot of the emperor! This is the land of the king's law! Don't think that this is your home and you can do whatever you want!" Chen Sheng was completely ignored by Ruan Shiqi's painting, and he did not take the Chen family seriously.

My chest ached with arrogance.

"Pull away." Ruan Shiqi tilted his head. As soon as the word "open" fell out, Nanhai and Beihai rushed forward together. Before Chen Sheng and Chen Anqing could react, Nanhai and Beihai grabbed their fronts, lifted them up and put them in the hospital.

Under the door steps.

"Go quickly! Invite Second Mistress quickly, go quickly!" Chen Sheng reacted quickly and shouted hurriedly when Bei Hai grabbed him.

Ruan Shiqi's brows trembled, then calmed down immediately. He whipped his whip twice happily, glanced sideways at Chen Sheng, and then at Chen Anqing. He walked towards the courtyard gate slowly and proudly. He didn't look at you at all.

From a broad perspective, it looks like I'm bullying you.

"This is so lawless, there is no law for the king? Come on, report it to the official! There is a robber in our house, report it to the official!" Madam Ma, leaning on crutches and supporting a girl, panting and cursing, came from the yard.

He rushed out and blocked the courtyard entrance.

Ruan Shiqi stood at the foot of the steps, raised his head slightly, squinted at Mrs. Ma with an angry look on her face, as if thinking about what to do.

"Second Grandma is here!" several women screamed as they ran around.

Grandma Luo's yard is not far from here, and it has been prepared since last night. If she wanted to invite her, she would come over very quickly.

Ruan Shiqi took a step back, then another step, until he was standing where he was just now. He watched several strong women carrying Grandma Luo, who was not too seriously ill, but certainly not too light, walking over as fast as flying.

, following Mrs. Ma’s instructions, she placed the spring stool in front of the steps of the courtyard gate.

Ruan Shiqi whistled softly and turned to look at Grandma Luo who was looking at him. Seeing the tears in Grandma Luo's eyes, she sighed with pity and couldn't bear to say, "On Potai Mountain

, your aunt pushed you out to block the knife, and now your husband pushed you out again to block the knife."

Grandma Luo opened her mouth, but could not speak, but tears fell down like beads.

Chen Sheng's face turned pale. He took a step over and half-knelt in front of Second Mistress Luo's couch, "Awan, don't listen to his nonsense. What happened that day was because the eldest uncle was confused for a moment..."

"The aunt was confused for a moment, what about you?" Ruan Shiqi answered in a timely manner.

Chen Sheng's face turned green this time, "Awan, don't listen to his nonsense, please come over..."

"That's because you are Luo Shangshu's favorite palm. He can hold you and use Luo Shangshu's strength to block my sword."

"You!" Chen Sheng glared at Ruan Shiqi, "I'm talking to my wife and I want you to shut up."

Ruan Shiqi smiled, raised his whip, and signaled Chen Sheng to continue.

"What happened that day was my fault, but this is our family matter, and there is no reason for outsiders to bully us..."

"Then what are you, the Chen family, going to do with your aunt?" Ruan Shiqi answered the question accurately again.

Chen Sheng was so angry that he wished he could stare Ruan Qi to death with one glance.

Second Grandma Luo bit her lip and looked straight at Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng turned around and subconsciously avoided Grandma Luo's gaze. He looked up at Madam Ma, the old lady, and lowered his head. His words were a bit difficult and slurred.

He fell down and said, "Awan, my uncle has been with you, isn't it? She is an elder after all..."

"Why are you so vague? Are you feeling guilty?" Ruan Shiqi laughed dryly, "These are all your Chen family's wives. Even one of them has been cruel once and made up his mind to kill the nephew's wife next door.

It's just a companionship.

One is used to block the knife at any time, right? First, he found a lucrative job in the Sixth Department for your father, Mr. Chen Er, and then he covered up the disaster relief mistake for your uncle, Mr. Chen, which could lead to the confiscation of the house. And then you

Big brother, how many favors and favors has Luo Shangshu gained with two extraordinary people in three years?

And you, the good son-in-law of Luo Shangshu is known to everyone in the capital. You are very proud of yourself, and you are always a guest. Just like this, Sister Wan has to be pushed out by your Chen family to block the knife at any time. Chen Sheng, how do you feel about this?

Have you become more ruthless? Even if you control the oxen and horses, you can’t control them like this.”

"We are all in-laws, but the Seventeenth Master actually said such things. Such a dark heart is really disgusting!" Mrs. Ma responded angrily.

"Oh, oh." Ruan Shiqi tilted his head at Mrs. Ma, "You Chen family have done everything, and I still can't say anything? Madam, you are so old, how is your face?"

"That night, if it hadn't been for the Shen sisters, I would have died." Second Grandma Luo sat up with her arms raised, staring at Chen Sheng, choking with deep fear and anger.

"It's a pity that you didn't die." Ruan Shiqi answered these words much faster than Chen Sheng.

"Shut up!" Chen Sheng turned his head and shouted angrily, with veins on his forehead popping out in anger.

"Sister Wan, your husband has a childhood sweetheart who is both poor and has no dowry. He is currently raising him in his hometown in Weinan. Do you know about this? If you died that day, what would happen to your dear husband?

, I can marry Qingmei as the son-in-law of the Shang Shu family, and then take Qingmei to your Luo family, give his beloved Qingmei to your father, and be a good daughter on your behalf."

Ruan Shiqi clapped his hands loudly, "What a pity, you didn't die. It's really sad."

"You're talking nonsense!" Chen Sheng's eyes turned red in worry, "You're spreading rumors and slandering me!"

"This slanderous sentence was not blurted out because of a guilty conscience, right? Sister Wan..."

Luo Wan stared straight at Chen Sheng, unable to bear it any longer, and burst into tears, "Mommy, Mommy, I want to go home! Mommy! Dad, I want to go home!"
