Although Jiang Feilin's words were sincere, Jin Zixi couldn't help but feel suspicious after hearing these words.

Jiang Feilin was also born to Mrs. Hou. She and Jiang Liyun should be of the same father. Jiang Qitian and Jiang Shaoqing are not very close to Jiang Liyun. Why would Jiang Feilin say that Jiang Liyun is the best to her? Is it possible that Jiang Liyun is the best to her?

Li Yun had never been defensive about her?

But Jiang Feilin didn't think so much and just said whatever she had to say.

"The second sister entered the palace early, the eldest brother was busy with court affairs, and the third brother only cared about his own business. Although the fourth brother would help him in the past, only the fourth brother still remembered that Lin'er was trapped at home.

I can't go out, but I will bring some fun things back to Lin'er from time to time." At this point, Jiang Feilin's eyes were slightly red, "My favorite is the fourth brother, but the fourth brother is stupid now, I hope my sister-in-law won't dislike him.

, take good care of him.”

It turned out that Jiang Feilin was worried that she would treat Jiang Liyun badly, so she sent her off in person and said such words to her.

Jin Zixi looked at Jiang Liyun beside her, who was already far away in thought. She sighed slightly, then took Jiang Feilin's hand and said to her like she was coaxing a child: "Don't worry, I will take care of him."

.”

Jiang Feilin nodded, glanced at the group of maids following her unwillingly, then gritted her teeth, stuffed something into Jin Zixi's hand, turned around and left.

Jin Zixi glanced at her in surprise, then asked Mianxin to help Jiang Liyun back to the house. She walked to a dark place and opened her palm, and found that what Jiang Feilin had given her was just a small note with one line written on it -

As long as you protect your fourth brother, I am willing to give you ten thousand gold.

Seeing such a note, Jin Zixi couldn't help but feel funny.

She is not short of money, so why are everyone asking her for money?

I'm afraid Jiang Feilin doesn't know her identity. No matter who she plans to marry, she will give that person such a note.

After crushing the note and destroying it, Jin Zixi walked back into the house, where Mianxin was serving Jiang Liyun's meal.

Jiang Liyun, who had his acupuncture points tapped, was very obedient. Seeing that he was taking care of her, Jin Zixi felt happy and relaxed. She picked up the tea at hand and took a sip: "The fifth young lady and the fourth young master used to be very close?"

Naturally, this question was asked of Mianxin, and Mianxin nodded calmly: "Yes, in this house, the fifth young lady is the closest to our fourth young master, and only the fifth young lady is the least mean-spirited."

Jin Zixi nodded, yes, only such a heartless girl would put words like a gift of ten thousand gold into her hands.

It is possible to buy people's hearts with money, but this little girl doesn't seem to know what greed is.

If the person who married Jiang Liyun today was not Jin Zixi, but a girl who was really born poor, I am afraid that the words of gifting tens of thousands of gold would be enough to arouse all her greed.

"What about the other people in this house?"

Now that I’ve asked all the questions, there’s no need to ask about other people’s affairs.

When it comes to other people, Mianxin seems to be embarrassed. Seeing that Jin Zixi is just a little colder and not too harsh on these servants, she thinks that she is the Fourth Young Master after all, and she has followed the Fourth Young Master throughout her life, so she simply

It's better to believe Jin Zixi and answer honestly: "Young Madam, you just saw it. Although Mr. Hou is kind to the Fourth Young Master, Madam Hou..."

"I see that Mr. Hou seems to be paying no attention to Mrs. Hou."

"Well, that's what I said, but the young lady must not mention this in front of outsiders." Mianxin explained to Jin Zixi while feeding Jiang Liyun, "I heard that Lord Marquis and Madam Hou were married by the Holy Spirit.

The two of them had never met each other before they got married, so they didn't have a deep friendship, unlike the Marquis and Mrs. Side..."

Speaking of this, Mianxin glanced at Jiang Liyun: "That's the Fourth Young Master's mother, Mrs. Liyue."

Hearing this name, Jin Zixi couldn't help but be startled: "It's the pear of the pear blossom, the moon of the moon?"

"Yes, I didn't expect that the young lady has also heard of Madam Liyue... Madam Liyue and Mr. Liyue have known each other since childhood, but Mrs. Liyue was born in a martial arts family and has pursued the freedom of the sky and the sea all her life. After Mr. Hou married his wife, Liyue

Mrs. Yue left Cangzhou to

Mrs. Liyue's temperament would not allow her to be a concubine, but... Later, one time, the Marquis was ordered by the court to go to Nanhuai to suppress bandits. He was in danger, but Mrs. Liyue showed up to save him. Later.

I don’t know what happened. I just heard about it.

When they found Mr. Hou, Mrs. Liyue was already five months pregnant, so they took her back to the Hou Mansion. Mrs. Hou had always been quite afraid of Mrs. Liyue's existence, and for some reason, Mrs. Liyue gave birth to four children.

Not long after the young queen, the fragrance disappeared and the jade was damaged, and the house

Many people say that the death of Mrs. Liyue is related to Mrs. Hou, so her soul is uneasy. Even Mrs. Liyue's former residence is often haunted... It is the yard in the northwest corner. The young lady seldom goes there when she has nothing to do.

Move around so as not to cause gossip."

Jin Zixi nodded when she heard this. It turned out that the unguarded place was Mrs. Liyue's former residence, and there were rumors of it being haunted.

"But...since you said that Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou have no relationship, why did Mrs. Hou give birth to four children for Mr. Hou?"

Even after Jiang Liyun was born, there was still a Jiang Feilin, which made Jin Zixi wonder, could it be that Mr. Hou was afraid of Mrs. Hou?

Also, since Mrs. Liyue came from a martial arts family, how could she be killed by Mrs. Hou so easily?

"Young Madam, these things are what I heard from others. In the past, when the Fourth Young Master was good, no one dared to mention these things. Now the Fourth Young Master is like this. If I say something more, Young Madam, you should pay more attention to it."

After that, my heart is depressed

The voice came close to Jin Zixi's ear, "The Third Young Master and the Third Young Madam look vicious, but that's on the surface. The real hidden one is Mrs. Hou. Mrs. Hou is the daughter of the King of Chu. King Chu's methods

, I think the young lady must have heard of it."

"Are you talking about the King of Chu who loved to use torture and killed people without batting an eyelid? Isn't he already dead?"

"It is precisely because of his death that all the power of the original King of Chu fell into the hands of Madam Hou. If one of her children can inherit the position of Lord Hou, all the power of the Hou Mansion will be hers!"

Speaking of this, Mianxin frowned slightly, "Actually, many people suspected that the fourth young master's current situation was related to Madam Hou, but Mr. Hou didn't say anything, and we servants didn't dare to

Discussion. But now the young lady should know that no matter how weak her relationship with the marquis is, Madam Hou still wants to have children with him. Now she has two sons and two daughters, one is in the court, one is a noble concubine, and the other is in business.

A girl waiting to be married... Young Madam, can't you understand that whether the eldest or the third young master inherits the Hou Mansion, Madam Hou's two daughters are her weapons for marriage!"

After hearing these words, Jin Zixi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There are such cruel mothers in the world who even want to take advantage of their own children."

After saying that, she picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped Jiang Liyun's mouth: "It's a pity that Mrs. Liyue passed away so early. It's not easy for you four young masters in this mansion, isn't it?"

"Yes, I used to be protected by the Marquis, so it's not a big deal, but now... the third young master is in charge, and young madam, you have also seen the third young master's face. You and the fourth young master have been married in the past few days, so the meals sent are better.

, the ones we sent before were all sour!"

After hearing what Mian Xin said, Jin Zixi couldn't help but be startled and glared at her angrily: "Is what you said true?"

Mian Xin nodded quickly and said sincerely: "I told the truth to the young madam because I saw the fourth young master taking such good care of you!"

She saw all the actions of Jin Zixi taking care of Jiang Liyun carefully. Although she was very moved, she was also afraid that Jin Zixi would suffer along with the fourth young master. At this moment, she couldn't help but kneel on the ground with a plop and said pleadingly: "

I hope that in the future, young madam, no matter how unhappy you encounter in this house, you will still think about the situation of the fourth young master. For his sake, you must stay and don’t abandon the fourth young master!"

Jin Zixi understood what she meant. Jiang Liyun had no mother since he was a child. Now he was stupid and bullied. She originally thought that the third young master Jiang Qitian would be the one to attack Jiang Liyun, but now it seems that Mrs. Hou is talented

He is the mastermind behind everything.

Thinking of this, Jin Zixi nodded and pulled Mianxin up: "Don't worry, I won't leave until your young master gets better."

"Eh?" Mianxin looked at her curiously, "Is it possible that you want to leave now that the young master is well? Why? Doesn't the young madam like our fourth young master? Our fourth young master is famous for his many talents! It turns out that the whole of Nanxiang

Country, which girl wouldn’t want to marry him!”

Jin Zixi smiled slightly: "In this case, I can't occupy him anymore. If you think about it carefully, if your young master gets better, will there be a place for me in this palace?"

Mianxin suddenly said: "What the young lady said is true. If the young master gets better, he must be a wealthy family who can afford the young master's status. However, by then, young madam, you will also be the principal wife. Even if there are other ladies who come in, you will not be able to do so."

He might be your equal."

"Yes, but only if I am willing to work with other women." After saying that, Jin Zixi pushed Mianxin to the door, "Okay, you go out and wait first, I will get some silver coins later.

Here you go, keep it for yourself, if you need anything, ask Qingmu to go out and buy it, you don’t have to go to the Third Young Master and the Third Madam.”

"Why?"

"In order for your young master to have a good life in the future, go ahead!"

After Jin Zixi pushed Mianxin out, she immediately closed the door and took out the money box she put in her dowry.

Her dowry was all prepared by Wu Wanyue. Of course, it was impossible for Jin Zixi to really accept her things. The only thing she owned was the money box. She could just go to Chaoyang Palace to get it when she was done with it.

The most important thing she lacks is money. Jiang Qitian expects to be in charge of the Hou Mansion and deducts Jiang Liyun's monthly silver. That is simply a dream!

Thinking of this, Jin Zixi helped Jiang Liyun back to the couch: "The Bai family has a lot of miraculous medicines. If I can't cure you, the reputation of the Bai Yao Valley will be ruined! Just stay here."

Bar!"

Jiang Liyun seemed to understand what she said, and smiled blankly at her, but his eyes were distracted, looking at Jin Zixi, but he seemed not to see her at all.

Pitiful.

Jin Zixi only had this idea at the time. After sighing slightly, she left the room and handed Mianxin ten taels of silver and a silver hairpin: "You can keep this money. This hairpin is used to test poisons, regardless of food."

We all have to try, you know?”

Mianxin nodded, feeling that Jin Zixi's idea was far-sighted, and she thought it was good, so she immediately put the money and hairpin away.

Taking this opportunity, Jin Zixi sent out another signal and quietly called the secret guards of Chaoyang Palace, asking them to find all the good medicine from Chaoyang Palace and give it to Jiang Liyun to treat his injuries.

Two hours later, when the medicine was delivered, Jiang Liyun's acupuncture points were also unlocked. He kept crying in the room, throwing things, and hitting his head. Mianxin felt distressed and went to hug him.

He was also beaten several times by Jiang Liyun. Jin Zixi wanted to tap his acupuncture points again, but to his surprise, he ran so fast and immediately got out of Mianxin's arms. Even Qingmu who came to help could not stop him.

.

Jin Zixi didn't want to use martial arts in front of them to avoid causing branches, so she could only run and chase.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Liyun ran out of the backyard, entered the garden, and jumped into the lake in the courtyard. Jin Zixi was so frightened that she was covered in cold sweat, and she quickly jumped into the water to fish Jiang Liyun out.
