Chapter 114 Suspicious
The old housekeeper didn't understand why the usually shrewd Third Young Master suddenly became stupid today.
Regardless of whether the child is the third young master's heir or not, you must invite the person back to the Li family in a friendly manner. If the two people in front of you are liars, there are ways to find out the person behind the scenes.
The third young master had a fierce attitude and was not as gentle as before. The bad attitude made the housekeeper frown, feeling that the third young master was not calm.
Guessing that the old housekeeper was helping Li Sanshao win the favor of the people, Jiang Chenqi didn't give him a chance, and her vision went dark and she fainted. When she fell into the dark world, Jiang Chenqi heard Xiaocao's howling cry.
The old housekeeper opened his mouth and gave instructions: "Bring the man into the house quickly, and someone will go to the street to find a doctor to treat this little brother."
Li Sanshao clenched his fan tightly, trying to stop the unknown person from entering, but the servant listened to the butler's words.
The people watching were talking a lot, feeling that Li Sanshao was not interesting enough. Even if he refused to recognize his children and brother-in-law, it was really cruel to send him to prison.
Li Sanshao didn't want to listen to gossip, so he strode into the yard, found the housekeeper under the eaves, and said emphatically: "Butler, you know my temper, how could I be tempted by a girl from a small mountain village? I don't know the name of Jixiang in the house at all.
I don’t know a village girl named Ruyi.”
The old housekeeper sighed in disappointment, shook his head and said: "People are coming to the door. Third Young Master, don't be stubborn and quibble. Xiaocao's facial features look a bit like yours, and he is not your child. How dare he come to the door in an open and honest manner."
The old man with a white beard stepped into the Li Mansion carrying a medicine box, and carefully took the pulse of the sleeping Jiang Chenqi. He frowned tightly when he wanted to say something, "He is a poor child. He is too worried and will not live long. You shouldn't have so many thoughts in life."
.”
The doctor felt that Jiang Chenqi's palms were too rough, so he rolled up his sleeves to reveal dense scars, shook his head and sighed.
After writing down the prescription and giving it to the maid, the doctor left with the medicine box on his back without mentioning Jiang Chenqi's identity as a woman.
Jiang Chenqi woke up with the strong smell of herbs. She opened her eyes and saw Xiaocao sitting by the bed. She was surprised to find that Xiaocao looked like Li Sanshao after washing up.
Finding that there was no outsider in the room, Jiang Chenqi said with a smile: "The third young master is not really your father. You look like him. Standing together, we can barely call him father and son. By the way, have the Li family treated you harshly? I wanted to faint for a while.
, I fell asleep unexpectedly.”
Shaking his head obediently, Xiaocao said that the servants of the Li family were kind to him. Not many of the Li family members were seen, so he lowered his voice and whispered: "Boss Zhou, I find this place is very strange. Did we come to the wrong place? When we came to the snake spirit's cave,
There are many sculptures or paintings related to snakes.”
The children were a little afraid of snakes, so Xiaocao stayed by Jiang Chenqi's side and did not dare to leave the room for even half a step, even though the scenery in the yard was nice.
Jiang Chenqi looked at the furnishings in the room and found nothing special. It was an ordinary guest room.
Holding Xiaocao's hand and leaving the guest room, Jiang Chenqi's eyes caught sight of the sculptures in the yard.
A large stone snake is wrapped around the rockery. The stone carving is lifelike. Looking at the withered yellow grass and leaves on the rockery and the color of the snake, Jiang Chenqi boldly speculated that the stone carving was some years old.
Turning to look at the portrait on the window, Jiang Chenqi saw large and small snakes, and she felt as if she had returned to Uncle Qian's village.
The people in Uncle Qian Er's village have special blood and live in harmony with the big cats. What kind of secrets does the Li Mansion hide?
Xiaocao held Jiang Chenqi's hand tightly, pointed to the flower snake lying on the branch, and said tremblingly: "Is that a poisonous snake? Boss Zhou, let's not pass under the tree. Poisonous snakes will bite people to death."
Jiang Chenqi carefully observed the flower snake, took the child and walked over, saying hello in a friendly manner, "Is the small courtyard your territory? Xiaocao and I can stay here for a few days. The kind-hearted flower snake, please show your kindness."
The flower snake spit out the snake letter, satisfied that the new guests recognized each other. She nodded pretendingly and agreed to stay with two humans, one big and one small.
Being able to communicate proved that the flower snake was spiritual. Jiang Chenqi smiled and praised the flower snake, "You are such a kind and good snake. No wonder you have charming patterns. These patterns are so beautiful. We humans do not have beautiful skins, so we use colorful clothes to dress ourselves up."
, very few people wear black and red clothes because we don’t look good.”
The flower snake raised its body half up and shook its head happily, letting the guests admire its charming figure.
Xiaocao looked at the stinky flower snake, and then at the smiling and flattering Boss Zhou, and felt amazed. No wonder Boss Zhou's grocery store is booming, who doesn't like people who speak nicely.
The sound of footsteps came, and Jiang Chenqi led Xiaocao to the rockery, pretending to appreciate the gurgling water on the rockery.
The old housekeeper came over with a smile and greeted the guests with a smile, "Brother Jixiang, you are awake. Thank you for bringing your children all the way to the capital. I have heard what the doctor said. The doctor said that you have not had an easy life these years, little one."
Don't take it to heart when brothers encounter difficulties, heartless people will live long."
The white-bearded doctor had been working with the Li family for many years, and the housekeeper was convinced by his words. He pictured a young man in the mountains struggling to survive, and he deeply sympathized with Jiang Chenqi.
Jiang Chenqi smiled indifferently and said meaningfully: "I am a commoner and my realm is not that high. There are some things that I can't let go of in my heart. People should always have pursuits in life. As long as I work hard, I may be able to get what I want."
Before coming, Jiang Yuyou held the turtle shell and calculated, and figured out that the Li Mansion had hidden clues, and suggested that she take Xiaocao, a little beggar, with her. Jiang Chenqi just wanted to take revenge on Li Sanshao, so she came up with the drama of recognizing her ancestor and returning to the clan.
The old housekeeper had a good impression of Jiang Chenqi and admired the calm young man. He reminded Jiang Chenqi to test whether Xiaocao was of Li family blood. If yes, he would be rewarded heavily.
Thinking of the smoke in her sleeves, Jiang Chenqi felt confident and led Xiaocao to follow the housekeeper to the hall.
Entering the hall, Jiang Chenqi squinted her eyes and looked at the snakes of different sizes on the wooden shelves.
Each snake has a different pattern and sits lazily on the wooden frame. It is unusual for there to be so many snakes in the lobby of Li Mansion.
Li Sanshao shook his fan and said in a sarcastic tone: "Are the barbarians in the mountains scared out of their wits? Now you kowtow and admit your mistake, and then go to Dali Temple to confess. I can be merciful and spare your life. I will detect this wild child in a while and follow me."
It doesn’t matter, you both will be unlucky.”
Jiang Chenqi showed a timid expression and said humbly: "Why are you so aggressive, Third Young Master? Have you hit your head and lost your memory? I heard that people with amnesia cannot remember many things, and it is possible to forget their former lovers."
Mr. Li was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If the housekeeper hadn't been watching, he would have ordered the servants to teach this hateful guy named Ji Xiang a lesson.
The old housekeeper looked at the Third Young Master with disapproval and wondered what happened to the Third Young Master today, why he was so ungraceful. Ji Xiang is such a pitiful kid. We will find out soon whether Xiaocao has anything to do with the Li family.
Lighting a stick of incense, the housekeeper babbled into the green smoke, reciting words that Jiang Chenqi could not understand.
