In the evening, the capital Chang'an Hou Mansion.

In the vast mansion, in the Rongxuan Courtyard in the middle, Mrs. Chen, the mother of Chang'an Hou Li Mingshui, looked gloomy. She slowly sipped half a cup of tea and told the little girl, "Please come here."

Mrs. Zhang, the wife of Chang'an, came quickly.

When Mrs. Chen saw her coming in, she waved her hand to hold the girl and the woman who had left the house and signaled her to sit beside her.

"That year, in Rong'an City..."

When Mrs. Zhang heard the three words Rong'an City, her face changed.

"Oh," Mrs. Chen sighed softly and patted Mrs. Zhang's hand, "She is dead, leaving behind a daughter. An Ge'er's father, and me, only knew about this.

It was the day before yesterday that when An Ge'er's father came back from court, someone stopped him and handed him a letter. The man was in Shan County.

When I found out, I immediately sent someone to Shan County and killed her."

Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth, and before she could speak, Mrs. Chen looked at her and said, "It's not all for you. Although the child she left behind is a girl, it's better to die than to live. It's best to die for An Ge'er's father and our Li family."

Mrs. Zhang nodded softly.

"The morning before yesterday, I sent someone to pick her up as usual and asked Lao Qian to go there. I originally thought that I would come back with a body and go outside the city to ask An Ge'er's father to take a look. After finding a place to bury it, it would be over.

If this is the case, I don’t plan to tell you about this. But just now, Lao Qian sent someone to report the message, saying that he had received it, and he was alive."

Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened.

"People can trust me. I have been following me for decades. I said I was suffocated by a quilt. I saw that I had left after I was dead." Mrs. Chen smiled bitterly and sighed, "Look, this is a disaster!"

Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale.

"An Ge'er's father said that the emperor already knows it, so he will take it back first. We will be here for a while..." Mrs. Chen's words stopped.

The emperor already knew it and said again, so they could not do anything anymore.

"I can only take it back first, I'm sorry for you." Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter-in-law pity.

………………………………………

The next day, Li Ran was woken up by a knock on the door. As soon as she sat up, the door of the house was pushed open. Two women in the civilian took away the toilet behind the bed and changed it to a clean one. Then they sent in a wash water and a toothbrush and a salted toothbrush.

Then there was breakfast, a bowl of rice juice, two small steamed buns, a plate of sesame oil mixed with mustard greens, a plate of pickled goose meat, and a piece of fermented bean curd.

After eating, Li Ran went out with her hair full of hair.

The three servants who picked her up took her away, and they brought nothing. She slept with her clothes last night, and this morning, there was not even a comb in the room. Of course, it was useless, she couldn't comb her hair.

Just like yesterday, the old Huang family stood in front of the car and combed her hair the same as yesterday.

The car was walking very quickly. When the sun rose above my head, there were more and more cars, horses and pedestrians on the road. From a distance, you could see a huge and majestic city.

Shan County is very close to the capital.

Li Ran was close to the car window and looked at the carriage, horses and pedestrians outside intently.

She likes to look at people the most, and nothing is more interesting than humans.

A rapid sound of horse hooves came from the front, from far to near quickly.

Li Ran poked her head out of the car window.

In front of the car, the horses and pedestrians dodged one after another.

In front, a large group of people, dressed in bright clothes and horses, came towards them.

The people rushed to the car and hurriedly stopped.

"This car?" asked a clear male voice.

Li Ran just retracted from the car window, and the front door was opened with a bang. A beautiful and dizzy young man with sunshine leaned in, ignored Li Ran and stared at his gaze, carefully looked her up and down, and smiled while smirking, "It's really like your father."

Li Ran looked at the beautiful man a few more times before looking up at another young man.

At first glance, she knew how when Madam Qian saw her, the saying that this must be a girl's will come from.

The young man in front of him was obviously born with her genes, with her eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips, and the same smell, but the man was very strong, not as thin and weak as her.

Her blood relative was also looking at her. She saw disgust, alertness, curiosity, and perhaps a little troubled, but she was not kind.

"I told you, but I don't believe it. Have you seen it? Is there anything good to see? Go back." Li Ran's blood relative looked away and turned her head.

"It looks pretty good." The beautiful man smiled and answered, then looked at Li Ran again, turned his head and drove away.

The car door was closed again by the coachman, and Li Ran was slowly sagging.

They neither respected her nor took her seriously.

Now, she can be sure that what she got was another bad card like shit.

The car was close to the city gate, and the window was slammed down from outside.

She was not allowed to look out any longer.

Li Ran sat in the car, listening to the sounds outside, from quiet to lively, and then from lively to quiet.

After leaving for another hour, the car stopped, the door opened, and the pedals were already placed in front of the car. Li Ran hugged her half box of golden pages and got out of the car.

Before Li Ran could stand firm, Madam Qian urged, "Go away now."

Li Ran held the small box and followed Madam Qian into the Yuedong Gate.

Madam Qian was very fast, Li Ran was very thin, holding a heavy box, and walked away and panting, and she didn't care about observing the situation around her.

After walking for nearly half an hour, Li Ran was dizzy and her throat felt sweet. Madam Qian finally stopped, slanted Li Ran, and explained two words: "Wait." She went forward and went up the steps.

Li Ran was panting, shaking her hands and wiping the hot sweat on her forehead, and looked up at the white walls and green tiles in front of her. The words "wealth" were all revealed in the eyes.

On the gate of the courtyard, there are three words "Rongxuan Courtyard" and they are full of momentum.

Such a stable and stable courtyard name with Rong and Xuan can only be the territory of the head of the family. It is probably the old lady.

"Come in." An old woman shouted from the gate of the courtyard.

Li Ran gasped and went up the steps.

She really wanted to go in calmly, but this breath could not be calmed down just by wanting to calm down.

On both sides of the courtyard gate, in front of the house on both sides, there is a wide veranda. The yard in the middle is very large, with rockery stacked with flowers and plants. A deep stream winds out from it. The water flows very quickly, and the koi in the water shines brightly.

Another door along the corridor.

This is definitely the so-called hanging flower door.

Li Ran stopped, looked up at the layers, carved exquisite brackets and flower panels, and the hanging lotus heads with seven or eight petals hanging down from both sides of the door.

In the middle of the hanging flower door, there is a rich flower embroidered screen.

Li Ran took a step closer, stretched her head over, and looked carefully. It was really embroidered. The quality of this yarn is so thin that it is transparent, so fine that it cannot see the warp and weft lines. It is really a good craftsmanship.

Bypassing the embroidered screen, the five upper rooms were gorgeous and tall. In the middle, there was a thick dark purple ball-patterned satin curtain. Outside the curtain, a little girl with a pair of buns was standing with her hands hanging down.

Li Ran walked outside the curtain, and the curtain was lifted from the inside out, and a comfortable and fresh fruity fragrance came to her face.

"Come in." A girl in her prime clothes, who was eighteen or nineteen years old, had a smile on her face and signaled Li Ran.

Li Ran crossed the high and thick threshold.

The house is very spacious and wealthy.

On the east side, there was an old woman in her sixties sitting half crooked and half sitting. On the armchair in front of the collapse, there was a woman in her forty or fifty. In addition, she was a girl standing with her hands hanging down.

The old woman and the woman were both expressionless and looked at her coldly.

Li Ran held her small box and stood in the room, with her eyes hanging down.

She didn't know what to do, she was really, completely, completely, and knew nothing.

"Old lady, the marquis is here." A little girl came from outside the door and reported a crisp voice.

The old lady on the collapsed side snorted as if nothing had happened. The woman in the armchair looked away from Li Ran and looked at Baibao Pavilion.

Li Ran moved to the side, took the opportunity to turn around and look at the door.

A tall and strong man in his 50s came in, walked straight to the front of the collapse, bowed and bowed, "Ah Mom."

The woman in the armchair stood up, bent her knees at the man, and took a half step to the side and stood behind the armchair.

Li Ran held the small box and looked at it silently.

This man was obviously the father of the young man she saw before entering the city. He should also be her father, biology father, and the Chang'an Marquis.

It seems that one of these two women is his mother, and the other must be his wife.

"Sit down." The old lady pointed to the armchair.

Li Mingshui, the Marquis of Chang'an, sat down and looked at Li Ran. His eyes fell on the small box in Li Ran's arms. His eyes suddenly turned sharp and his face changed, "Is there a golden page in this box?"

"Yes." Li Ran answered neatly.

It was obvious that he recognized the box, maybe the box was his, and the gold was his.

"Did you use it?" Chang'an Hou's throat tightened.

"Half still." Li Ran did not answer positively. She didn't know how many gold pages there were in the box, so she didn't know whether it was useful or not.
