In Shangjun Courtyard, Li Shui and Wei Yang were playing with flowers in the backyard.
Li Xin walked in quickly from outside, looking excited.
When Li Xin saw that Li Shui happened to be in the courtyard, he immediately said: "Brother Huai, you are really easy for me to find. You are actually interested in playing with flowers and plants here."
Li Shui asked puzzledly: "Brother Li, now that the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is rare to have free time. Wouldn't it be beautiful to raise flowers and plants here?"
Li Xin was a rough man who didn't even bother to raise any flowers and plants. He was born in the army and was willing to chop firewood in the camp. He was excited as long as he could hear the soldiers shouting to kill.
Li Xin looked at him and said, "I wonder what happened to the elixir that Brother Huai prepared for His Majesty?"
Li Shui trembled all over and glanced at Li Xin faintly: "Brother Li, if you have nothing to do, you can go find something to do. Why are you here teasing me?"
Li Xin chuckled and said, "Sure enough, this trick works."
Li Xin whispered: "I came to see you, of course I have something to do."
Li Shui looked at Li Xin's thick eyebrows and big eyes, wondering what the boy was holding back.
He turned to Wei Yang and said, "You rest first, I'll go and talk to General Li about something."
Weiyang nodded and said nothing.
After Li Shui and Li Xin left, Wei Young murmured: Even Li Xin knew how to use elixirs to tease his husband, how could his father not know about it? He must have turned a blind eye.
If it weren't for the fact that Huaiguzi created things that were beneficial to the people and the Qin Dynasty from time to time, my husband would have been thrown into prison long ago.
Weiyang thought about it and realized that she couldn't always let her husband carry it by himself, so she went to look for Xiangli Zhu. As long as there were new things, her father would not do anything to Huai Guzi.
Li Xin and Li Shui walked into the house. After Li Xin sat down, he drank several cups of tea.
Li Shui said: "Brother Li came to me in such a hurry, what is the reason?"
Li Xin said mysteriously: "The door of Qi Mansion has been closed for the past two days, and all the supplies were placed at the door. Only the servants in the manor opened the door to take them in. Do you know what happened?"
Li Shui took a sip of tea and asked, "Oh? What's the matter?"
Li Shui whispered: "The housekeeper of Qi Mansion died suddenly."
Li Shui was speechless for a while, thinking it was some shocking secret.
Li Shui said: "Why don't you come here for such a trivial matter? Brother Li, it seems you are really free."
Li Xin scratched his head and said with a smile: "Both each other, I think Brother Huai, you are very leisurely."
Li Shui took a sip of tea and asked, "Speaking of which, isn't Master Qi about to get married to that Wu family? Why did the housekeeper suddenly die?"
Li Xin patted his thigh and said, "That's right. I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional."
Li Shui said: "Did you do it on purpose? Brother Li, do you know something?"
Li Xin leaned over and whispered mysteriously: "Brother Huai, do you know the cause of this housekeeper's death?"
Li Shui frowned in disgust. Li Xin likes to show off some gossip and is very secretive.
Seeing how bored he is, let's grant his wish.
Li Shui pretended to be nervous and asked, "Oh? What's the cause of death?"
Li Xin felt even more proud when he saw Li Shui's expression. It seemed that he was very happy to know some gossip news in advance than Li Shui.
Li Xin whispered: "It is said that he died of excitement."
Li Shui frowned: "Died of excitement? Why are you excited? What can a butler like him be excited about?"
"When I was sitting on a mountain of gold and silver, my heart was completely calm."
Li Xin originally wanted to expose Li Shui's money-grubbing nature, but when he thought about the pleasant chat he had just had with Li Shui, he responded with a compliment: "How can a butler like him be compared to Brother Huai?"
Li Shui and Li Xin looked at each other and laughed.
Li Xin continued: "As for why the housekeeper was excited, I don't know."
Li Shui said slowly: "I'm afraid Master Qi's marriage won't be possible in a short time."
"Did someone really do this on purpose?"
"Brother Li, tell me, who among these cultural relics from the Manchu Dynasty disagrees with Mr. Qi."
Li Xin drank a cup of tea and looked at Li Shui silently without speaking.
Li Shui saw Li Xin staring at him without speaking. He was about to ask, but suddenly came to his senses.
Li Shui frowned and said, "Brother Li, do you think it's me who doesn't have an eye for Master Qi?"
Li Xin said slowly: "Brother Huai, don't worry. There are many people who don't understand Brother Huai. It doesn't hurt to have him as a Master Qi."
Li Shui curled his lips and said, "When Master Qi deceived Your Majesty, I personally went to ask Your Majesty to pardon Master Qi. This was obviously a favor to him. How could you think that I have any rift with Master Qi?"
Li Xin said: "Having said that, Mr. Qi received His Majesty's kindness and thanked His Majesty for his kindness. He did not accept your favor and was quite disdainful of you."
"Secondly, in the eyes of other courtiers, Brother Huai is a person who can't afford to do anything early. If I ask Your Majesty to pardon Mr. Qi this time, the courtiers may think that Brother Huai has some agenda."
Li Shuiqi said harshly: "These people have really blinded their eyes. Even though I have some kind intentions in banishing an immortal, they still misunderstand me as having some agenda."
Li Xin poured a cup of tea for Li Shui and said, "Brother Huai, don't be angry. Those people are not worth it. Come, let's have tea."
The two drank and chatted.
Li Xin continued: "But having said that, there is probably someone else in the court who has a grudge against Mr. Qi."
Li Shui said slowly: "Are you talking about Zhao Teng?"
Li Xin nodded: "That day, His Majesty asked Zhao Teng to investigate the fooling around. The work was not done well, which prompted His Majesty to reprimand him. Zhao Teng must have been dissatisfied with Mr. Qi for a long time."
"Besides, Zhao Teng strongly opposed Mr. Qi's pardon in the political hall. It's unknown whether the two of them were secretly competing with each other in private."
Li Shui said slowly: "You are saying that the inexplicable death of the housekeeper of Qi Mansion may have been caused by Zhao Teng."
Li Xin nodded and said: "In this court, if the people in the court want to use the death of the steward of Qi Mansion to threaten Lord Qi, I am afraid that the only ones are Brother Huai and Zhao Teng."
Li Shui quickly waved his hand: "Don't take me with you, I don't take Mr. Qi seriously yet."
"Besides, the shares of Yali Daily have been transferred to me, and I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore."
Li Shui took a sip of tea and said, "If you say it's Zhao Teng, I don't think it's possible. Even if Zhao Teng is reprimanded by His Majesty, it will only make him feel that he is incompetent."
"If we urge His Majesty to punish Mr. Qi in the Council Hall, we are also fulfilling the duties of a courtier. After all, deceiving His Majesty is a serious crime."
"Zhao Teng, although he doesn't want to be my friend, is still decent."
Li Xin nodded silently, thinking: Who could it be?
While the two were chatting, the craftsman came in and said, "Sir, I just learned that people from the Neishi Mansion went to Master Qi's house not long ago."
Li Shui smiled and said, "While we were talking about Zhao Teng, this guy sent someone over."
"I thought your news was false, but it looks like it's probably true."
Li Xin smiled and said: "Of course you have to eat real melons."
Li Shui asked: "Did the people from the Neishi Mansion find anything?"
The craftsman returned: "It is said that several people from the Neishi Mansion came out empty-handed and looked dejected."
Li Shui waved his hand and the craftsman retreated.
Li Xin sighed and couldn't help but said: "It's still a raw melon."
