When Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian come to Li Xiu to study, safety is naturally the top priority. Li Xiu is not here?15?? Palace, there are often nearby villagers coming and going, and the palace guards are also more responsible and often arrest suspicious people. However, they usually ask Li Xiu to deal with it. After all, these people are generally people from nearby, either passing by or looking for him for something, so the guards dare not do too chaotic.

However, when Li Xiu saw the man caught by the guards today, he was stunned for a moment. He saw that the man was actually an old man with white hair and beard, bent over and hunched back and wrinkles on his face. His thin body seemed to be blown away by the wind at any time. However, what surprised Li Xiu the most was his clothes. He definitely did not seem to be a nearby farmer, but a servant from which family should be.

"Who is he? Why do you say that his behavior is suspicious?" Li Xiu looked at the old servant, then asked the guards again. Sometimes some people often send servants to send him invitations or something, or come to buy tea, so there should be no fuss.

"Qi Bi Li Jijiu, this man came to your mansion and went back and forth several times but refused to come to ask for a meeting. Instead, he turned around. We saw that his behavior was suspicious, so we caught him." The guards replied again. In fact, they also saw that the other party was too old. If they were a younger person, they would have beaten and questioned him before. After all, these guards are not good people, and they always act directly and violently.

"Aunt... Auntie, I actually have something to ask to see you!" At this moment, the old servant suddenly trembled and said to Li Xiu.

"Are you from the Pei family?" Li Xiu immediately stared at the other party when he heard this. The person who could call his son-in-law could naturally be from Pei Ju's mansion.

"Yes, Lao Nu is the housekeeper of the Pei family, and the son-in-law just calls Lao Nu Lao Fu!" The old slave said again. He was Pei Ju's confidant Lao Fu. Although he is so humble to Li Xiu now, he is the Fu Manager who is well-known to Pei Ju's mansion. He is far from being compared with Lao Fu in terms of status.

Since the other party was Pei Ju's man, Li Xiu waved his hand and asked the guards to let him go and took him into the mansion. After all, some things were inconvenient to let outsiders know. After he sat down in the living room, he asked Lao Fu: "Since you have something to come to me, why did you sneak in outside just now and refuse to come in?"

"This..." Lao Fu also showed a embarrassed expression at this time. After a while, he smiled, "Actually, I have been to the mansion several times before, but I was driven out every time, so I didn't dare to come in."

"Old Fu, you are so old, I won't say anything bad, but it's better for you Pei family members not to come again. My wife doesn't welcome you!" Li Xiu said with a rare solemn look at this time. Mother Yi is pregnant now, so he doesn't want the Pei family members to disturb her again.

"Son-in-law, you misunderstood. Actually, you already know that you did too much before, so you have always wanted to do something to make up for it, but the method may be a bit wrong, such as the last time you visited the grave..."

"Hmph, there is no need to mention the grave sweeping matter. That trick is probably worthy of cheating the children!" Li Xiu said with a cold expression when he heard this.

"You can't let me tell you if you don't let me say it. I'm afraid you don't know yet. After the master visited the grave that day, neither the uncle nor the lady in the clothes ignored him. This made the master very disappointed. As a result, he was restless when he went down the mountain. He accidentally fell off the hillside and broke one of his legs. Moreover, the master is old and it is difficult to cure after being injured. Now he is seriously ill again. He has lost only a handful of bones in just a few days, so the old servant wants to come and say it to his uncle!" Lao Fu said again with an anxious expression on his face.

"Is there such a thing?" Li Xiu couldn't help but say with some suspicion when he heard this. He might have believed it if others were, but he had to be a little suspicious of Pei Ju, the shameless old fox.

"It's true! No matter how brave I am, I dare not lie to you in such a thing!" Lao Fu saw that Li Xiu didn't believe it, and immediately shouted injustice again. Li Xiu felt that it made sense when he heard this. I'm afraid that such a big thing would not be hidden, and he could only find out after asking.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but show a hesitant expression because he didn't know whether he should tell Mother Yi about this? If he didn't say it, Pei Ju was still Mother Yi's father after all. If Pei Ju really died, even if Mother Yi didn't blame him in the future, Mother Yi would probably feel a little guilty in her heart. But if she told Mother Yi, she would probably be in a dilemma. After all, she hated Pei Ju to death, but she could not cut off the affection of flesh and blood.

"I understand this, you go back first!" Li Xiu waved at Lao Fu at this time. This was a headache. He could not make a decision for the mother-in-law for the time being, so he could only let Lao Fu go back.

When Lao Fu saw that Li Xiu did not give him a definite answer, he was about to say something, but when he saw the impatient expression on Li Xiu's face, he finally closed his mouth and then stepped back and left the living room to go back. Li Xiu was the only one sitting there frowning in the living room.

Before I knew it, the sky outside was already dark. At this time, pink jumped in and said to Li Xiu: "Master, Madam, please come back for dinner!"

"Yeah!" Li Xiu nodded and stood up when he heard this. He was about to return to the inner house, but suddenly stopped and said to Fan'er, "Fan'er, do you know Lao Fu of the Pei family?"

"I know you? Master, why did you mention him?" When Fan'er heard Lao Fu, she also showed a disgusting expression on her face.

"He is here today, but I think Fan'er doesn't seem to welcome him very much?" Li Xiu couldn't help but say curiously when he saw the expression on Fan'er's face. Fan'er is a very simple and kind girl, and he rarely dislikes someone when he meets her.

"Master, you didn't grow up in the Pei family. Naturally, I don't know who Mr. Fu is. He is so fierce to us servants. When I was a child, I was most afraid of him. Once I accidentally smashed a tea bowl, but I was slapped by Mr. Fu. Fortunately, Mrs. Yi and I are out now, so there is no need to look at Lao Fu's face. The previous few times he came here, I didn't give him a good look and let him dare to hit me!" Fan'er still looked angry when she talked about her original experience.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be quite revenge." Li Xiu couldn't help laughing when he heard Fan'er's words. However, after laughing, he remembered Pei Ju's injury. He hesitated for a moment before he said to Fan'er again, "Fan'er, you and Niang Yi grew up together and knew her best. However, do you think Niang Yi has no feelings for her father yet?"

"Ah? This question is a bit difficult!" Fan'er couldn't help but frowned her nose when she heard this, tilted her head and thought for a long time before answering, "Actually, I don't know what the lady is thinking in her heart, but she did hate Mr. Pei very much before, and later she was forced to get married. I think the lady no longer recognizes that father, but the lady is a very soft-hearted person. In particular, the Pei family has come to invite her wife back many times. At first, although the lady was angry, she later just sighed and asked me to drive the person out."

"I understand, thank you Fan'er!" Li Xiu nodded when he heard this. After thanking him, he came to the inner house with Fan'er. Dinner had already been prepared at the dinner table. The lady and Qi Niang sat on both sides of the table, but neither of them moved their chopsticks. This was also the rule at home. As long as Li Xiu was at home, he usually had to wait for him to come back to eat together.

"Eat, mom, don't wait for me in the future, don't starve the children in your stomach!" Li Xiu hurriedly sat down and said, and at the same time he spoke again.

"Not as serious as you said, you won't starve to death after a while!" The lady in the air couldn't help but smile when she heard Li Xiu's words.

"Sister-in-law, don't just care about my elder brother, but also care about me. I was already hungry just now!" Qi Niang shouted dissatisfied when she heard this. She had been running outside for a day today and was already hungry, but the lady in the air insisted on waiting for Li Xiu to come and have a meal together.

"It is good for a child to be hungry. Niang Yi, try this mutton and eat more tonifying your body!" Li Xiu first glared at Qi Niang, and then smiled and brought vegetables to Niang Yi, which caused Qi Niang to roll her eyes. She found that since her sister-in-law got pregnant, her status had plummeted at home.

"The taste of mutton is too strong. I can't eat it now, so let Qi Niang eat it!" Seeing Qi Niang's appearance, Yi Niang couldn't help but smile and took the mutton in the bowl to her. Even if she had a child, she didn't want to neglect Qi Niang.

"Sister-in-law is the best!" Qi Niang saw the mutton in the bowl, and immediately smiled sweetly at the clothes girl, then stuffed the mutton into her mouth like a demonstration, and kept chewing at Li Xiu, full of childishness.

After dinner, the lady in Yi supervised Qi Niang to do her homework and took some courses by the way. She had liked to listen to Li Xiu's classes, but she still didn't give up on studying even though she was pregnant. Although her study progress is still not as good as Qi Niang, it is almost the same, but she has not learned some things very well.

Qi Niang quickly finished her homework and ran to the room to sleep. Only then did Li Xiu walk to the side of the lady in the air. While looking at her writing, he was considering whether he wanted to tell her about Pei Ju. He had been thinking about this since he had just been thinking about it, but unfortunately he had never made a decision.
