Chapter 89 Memories of the Great Madam

Xu Xi was about to say something to it when he suddenly heard an announcement: "Congratulations to the host, the wisdom value is 50."

Xu Xi was stunned and asked the system: "What's going on?" It gave her extra points for no reason. Could it be that the system's conscience discovered it?

"I, I don't know." The system seemed a little confused.

Xu Xi's wisdom value is not determined by it. It has its own set of evaluation criteria. Otherwise, it would just give Xu Xi a high score. Wouldn't it immediately fill up the energy it needs to repair the faulty part? Where would it be needed?

Being held hostage by Xu Xi, begging grandpa and grandma to get more points?

It hurried to see what was going on.

"It's an exam, it's an exam." The system was excited. "Host, because you got first place in the Four Books and Five Classics exam that you took this morning, the system rewards you with fifty wisdom points."

Xu Xi's eyes lit up: "Really?"

She rolled her eyes: "Will I be rewarded with points as long as I take the first place in the exam?"

"Yes." The system started to do somersaults excitedly as if it had discovered a new world, "The higher the ranking you get, the more points you get; the higher the level of the exam you take, the more points you get."

"Then why didn't I get points as a bonus during the last entrance exam? Did you lose my points?"

The system jumped three feet high: "That's nonsense. I just realized that the exam has points. Otherwise, I would have asked you to take the exam long ago. How can you wait until now?"

Xu Xi thought so too.

Although there is something wrong with this system, with its desire for points and knowing this channel, it will never hold back until now to tell her.

"Okay, let's trust you for once."

The system snorted coldly: "I guess it was the last entrance exam, and there was no ranking. The academy just eliminated the unqualified ones, and the rest were admitted on the list. The reason why your name is ranked first is because you are the first

It’s an entrance exam. There’s no ranking, so naturally you can’t get points.”

Xu Xi nodded: "It makes sense."

"Host, hurry up and improve your skills so that you can participate in various competitions in the academy. Once you get a ranking in the competition, your score will go up. Twenty thousand points is not a dream, the agility pill is waiting for you."

The system screamed at the top of its lungs.

Although the sound of the system was a little noisy, Xu Xi rarely continued to complain about it.

Let’s not talk about agility pills. With these 50 points, if you practice a few words in the evening, you will be able to reach 150 in no time. If you practice another day in class tomorrow, you will basically have 200 points. The short-term goal is achieved.

For a time, Xu Xi's motivation to improve his score increased by a few points.

Returning to the Hou Mansion, Xu Xi went to greet the old lady as soon as possible, and happened to meet the eldest lady there. Seeing the complicated look in the eldest lady's eyes, Xu Xi knew that the old lady had told the eldest lady her suspicions.

The lady said it.

"Did you send someone to investigate what I said yesterday?" Xu Xi couldn't help but ask.

It would be best for the old lady to investigate this matter clearly, without her having to work hard to accumulate points. She made such a big surprise last night, and she didn't believe that the old lady and the eldest lady could not bear to investigate this matter immediately.

The old lady and the eldest lady looked at each other, waved their hands to let all the servants out of the room, but remained silent.

As soon as Xu Xi left last night, the old lady immediately sent someone to call the eldest lady. The two of them thought about the situation all night. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that what Xu Xi guessed might happen. For this reason, the two of them thought about the situation at that time.

I couldn't sleep at all last night.

At this time, seeing Xu Xi's eyes that resembled the Marquis, Zhu's mood became even more confusing. Originally, she and the old lady didn't plan to mention the matter before they found out clearly. But facing Xu Xi, she couldn't help but

Opened his mouth.

"Checked it." Her voice was trembling. "At that time, the Hou Mansion was in chaos and people were needed everywhere. I sent out all the capable people around me, and there was only one nanny and one maid left. The reason why I stayed

It's because these two people are loyal but lack the ability. I thought, even if something happens to me and they can't handle it well, they can at least help me and call someone. Anyway, they are all in the house and they will come as soon as I call.

.”

"Later, the second wife had a seizure and wanted to give birth. She was her first child and the birth was not going well. I also had a seizure when I went to see her. Since I didn't have time to call her another woman and there were not enough staff, I moved directly into the house next door to the second wife.

Here, it is convenient for Wen Po to take care of her back and forth."

"After arranging me, my maid went to call someone, and the mother-in-law was watching over me. At that time, the labor pain came, and I couldn't care about anything else. I just listened to the mother-in-law who kept talking in my ear, and I couldn't listen to anything she said.

Qing, the only feeling I felt was pain. When the baby was born, I fainted. When I woke up, my mother-in-law congratulated me and said I had given birth to a son."

She raised her head and looked at Xu Xi carefully: "If I gave birth to a daughter, and the second wife gave birth to a son or two sons, I might wonder if she had dropped the child. After all, the eldest brother-in-law has no son and the second wife has no son.

It was beneficial. But the person she held in front of me was my son, and she had a twin boy and a girl, so I didn't suspect anything at all."

"Where's that old lady? Is she still alive?" Xu Xi asked. Don't be like the nun next to Wei who suddenly died of illness, right?

"Alive." Mrs. Zhu nodded, "She was taken out of the house by her son. I sent someone to ask her today. She is already seventy and confused. Her words are incoherent."

If the mother-in-law died for no reason, she would not be suspicious at all. But the mother-in-law is alive and well, but she is confused.

She immediately shook her head: "Even if she is not old and confused, she probably won't be able to ask anything. I brought this woman from my mother's family. She is indeed very loyal, but she is not careful enough in her work, confused, and not enough people."

Smart. If Mr. Wei was really doing something under her nose, she probably wouldn't be able to find out."

"Where was Mrs. Wen who delivered the baby?" Xu Xi asked again.

"I asked people to inquire and found out that Po Wen moved after she returned. I asked her neighbors and no one knew where she had moved."

If it hadn't been for such a suspicion, both the old lady and the eldest lady would have thought that Xu Xi was an alarmist, making up lies to gain the eldest lady's love and make excuses for his disobedience to his biological mother.

Xu Xi thought of something and asked again: "She should have opened a road when she left, right? Did anyone send someone to the Yamen to check?"

"I checked, but couldn't find anything." Zhu shook her head.

After being the mistresses of the house for so many years, they still know these things clearly.

"Besides them, who else was there?"

"Besides my mother-in-law and Po Wen, the only people around me were people from the Wei family. But among the people around her, besides the dead nanny, there were two maids. But the maids didn't enter the delivery room at that time, they were only outside.
