Su Xiaoxiao sank her dantian angrily, shouted loudly, and slapped the window lattice with her palm.

There seemed to be a huge internal force in her palm, and the window lattice slammed open.

Su Xiaoxiao said lightly: "If you think you can kill, just try."

A quarter of an hour later, the door to the west courtyard creaked open.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, Ping'er gave Wei Ting the flowers that Mrs. Wei had inserted herself.

...

Out of Wei's house.

Su Xiaoxiao sat under the big tree and counted peaches: "My father's, Ergou's, Dahu's, Erhu's..."

Yu Chixiu held an umbrella for her resignedly, and asked speechlessly: "You are really brave, you dare to threaten your future mother-in-law, if you let the adults know..."

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Then you are an accomplice!"

Yu Chixiu looked confused: "Why am I an accomplice?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "The palm that shook her just now was from you!"

"It's not that you asked me to help you pretend to have internal strength..."

Yu Chixiu realized that he had been fooled in the middle of his sentence.

This girl clearly dragged him into the water on purpose!

"mean!"

"Concession."

Yu Chixiu gritted his teeth with hatred: "But, is it really all right if you just tell Mrs. Wei about the ghost?"

He thought that she suddenly asked him to take her to Wei's house in order to persuade Wei Ting to come back, and he never thought that she would turn over Mrs. Wei's orchard without saying a word.

How can this girl act so boldly? And completely unpredictable.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Do you think she really doesn't know that there is an inner ghost in the Wei family?"

"Ah?" Second Monk Yuchi Xiuzhang was puzzled.

Su Xiaoxiao recalled the short confrontation with Mrs. Wei in the house: "She is not a simple woman, she has discovered me earlier, earlier than I thought... Maybe when I went to check her pulse in the afternoon, She already recognized me as the one who was hiding behind the curtain last night."

Yu Chixiu shook his head: "How can I recognize you? You pulled the curtain back then, and she didn't see your face!"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Smell."

"Smell... smell?" Yu Chixiu didn't understand.

He still prefers to chat with Su Cheng, the little girl, like Wei Ting, always makes him feel that his brain is not enough.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I just noticed that in addition to her hobby of arranging flowers, she also likes to dry flower petals to make spices. There are more spices in bottles and jars in the house than medicine jars in my house. A powerful perfumer, They are very sensitive to smells, and some can even recognize scents and people."

Yu Chixiu subconsciously smelled his own body.

Only the smell of sweat, so smoky...

He stuck out his tongue and retched.

About a century has passed.

Yu Chixiu finally digested a little of the content: "Wait, according to what you said, she recognized you this afternoon, but she didn't expose you on the spot?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Her concentration is terrifyingly strong, isn't it? This is by no means developed overnight. Such a person, no matter how much he likes something in his heart, he can pretend to be very disgusted, right?"

Yu Chixiu looked at the sky with his eyes, exhausted his wisdom, and finally comprehended the essence of Su Xiaoxiao's story.

"You want to say... She actually cares about adults in her heart, but she just pretends to alienate him on purpose? Why did she do that?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the big and red peach in her pocket, and said in a low voice, "Because I want to protect him, and also because they have been living under the surveillance of the ghost."

...

The two were squatting on the side of the road and talking, a carriage galloped by, almost splashing mud on Su Xiaoxiao's face.

Yu Chixiu hastily blocked it with an oiled paper umbrella.

After the carriage passed by, Yu Chixiu murmured dissatisfiedly: "Don't look up next time, I will unload your wheels!"

Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced: "Eh? It's the carriage going to Wei's house. It's so late, who is coming back?"

"Oh, that's not Wei's carriage, it's Guo's."

Yu Chixiu recognized the coachman.

Su Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously: "The Guo family? What is the Guo family doing at midnight?"

Could it be because he smoked Guo Lingxi, and the Guo family came to ask for an explanation?

No, I haven't been in the family yet, if I really want to ask for an explanation, I will go to the Qin family, or at least the Su family.

"I came to see Mrs. Wei."

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao looking at him blankly, Yu Chixiu's aura instantly increased a lot: "You don't know? My lord and Guo Lingxi are cousins, and Guo Lingxi's mother is Mrs. Wei's cousin!"

Su Xiaoxiao had an epiphany: "Oh, it's such a cousin."

Yu Chixiu said: "Two sisters came to the capital from south of the Five Ridges to marry. One married into the Wei family and the other married into the Guo family. It was once a good story in the capital."

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Why is it a good story?"

Yu Chixiu just likes Su Xiaoxiao's unseen appearance!

He hugged his arms and said with a great sense of accomplishment: "Lingnan Shuangshu, haven't you heard of it? They were the first-class beauties in Lingnan when they were young!"

Thinking of Wei Ting's appearance, Su Xiaoxiao didn't doubt Yu Chixiu's words.

"Are the sisters on good terms?" she asked.

Yu Chixiu said: "Of course. Mrs. Guo will visit Mrs. Wei at Wei's house every month. In the first few years, she came by herself. Later, she was weak and often recuperated at home, so she asked her servants to visit Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wei would occasionally Go and visit her, after Mrs. Wei moved to the west courtyard in the past few years, she seldom even goes out of the courtyard, almost the Guo family came to visit."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Is it because of this that Mrs. Wei decided to marry Wei Liulang and Guo Lingxi?"

Yu Chixiu said: "Their marriage was not arranged by Mrs. Wei. In fact, Mrs. Wei objected to this marriage for a while."

-

The rain in the capital lasted for three full days before it stopped.

That day and night, all the gates of the city were closed, but suddenly a carriage rushed over from the west gate.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the city, and the driver looked up at the guards on the tower and said, "Open the gate!"

The guard ignored him.

The coachman took out the token from his waist. Naturally, the other party couldn't see it from this distance, but it didn't prevent the coachman from taking advantage of it.

"Here is the prime minister's token, open the city gate!"

Hearing that it was the prime minister's token, the guard was stunned for a moment, then hurried downstairs to confirm.

When it was confirmed that the son of the prime minister's mansion was sitting in the carriage, the guard called him stupid and respectfully invited him into the city.

Gong Xue was originally scheduled to take the riding and archery test on the second day after the written test, but due to the heavy rain, Gong Xue was suspended for three days, and Guo Lingxi also stayed at home for three days.

When something went wrong quickly, the servant girl ran into the house excitedly: "Princess! The young master is back!"

Guo Lingxi's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, will Big Brother still lie to you?"

Accompanied by a hearty male voice, a tall and straight young man strode in.

He has sword eyebrows and star eyes, plump and handsome, his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Guo Lingxi, but he is a bit more ruthless and heroic than Guo Lingxi.

"Brother!"

Guo Lingxi jumped into Guo Huan's arms like a lark.
