    Qingque and Bailu knew that Lu Jinxi had agreed to Xue Tingzhi. Seeing that her expression was wrong, they only thought that something had happened, and they came up a little worried.

    "Madam, are you okay? But what's wrong with the eldest son?"

    "It's all trivial matters over there, nothing wrong with him."

    Xue Tingzhi's matter has been settled, and the rest depends on how far she can achieve it. She is really not worried, she is just thinking about another thing.

    "Draw water, take a shower, and think about it later.

    So the blue bird and the egret were not good at asking any more questions, and they were busy with each other.

    After taking a shower and lying down on the bed, Lu Jinxi called softly, "Qing Que—"

    Tonight the egret is not here, the blue sparrow is on duty at night.

    Hearing the voice, she walked in from the outside. The lights in the room had not been turned off. Lu Jinxi, who was lying in the embroidered tent, was a little vague and could not be seen clearly.

    "lady?"

    "Come here, I have something to explain."

    Lu Jinxi didn't lie down completely, just leaned on the brocade pillow, propped her forehead with one hand, and closed her eyes slightly.

    Qing Que didn't expect to call herself alone, and her heart skipped a beat.

    Her mind is still transparent, and she has already thought of a possibility at this time.

    You know, she only knows that one thing more than the egret, and now she just avoided the egret and called herself, which means...

    "lady."

    She meekly knelt outside the tent and lowered her head.

    But even across a layer of embroidered tent, Lu Jinxi could feel her apprehension and unease, and even laughed: "Relax, it's not a scary thing."

    Qing Que thought to herself that her wife has become a lot calmer recently, and her way of dealing with things is also very old. The previous mess has been handled properly, so when she heard her reassuring words, she really put down a lot in her heart.

    She forced a smile: "It's the servant who is too worried. If you have something to do, Madam, please instruct the servant."

    "It's not a big deal, it's just a word."

    Lu Jinxi pondered for a while, but after talking to Xue Tingzhi about that, he spent almost half the night thinking about the "unexpected" thing he encountered in the palace and the "uninvited guest" who broke his identity, so After a pause, the voice seemed a little slow.

    "Do you still know how to contact Master Song? Find a time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I want to ask him out to meet."

    What, what?!

    After Qing Que heard her previous sentence, her heart had already given up most of the time, but the words "Sir Song" suddenly appeared in her mouth without warning, and she was immediately shocked that Qing Que's three souls were separated from her body, and her seven spirits came out. trick!

    At this moment, she almost fainted from fright!

    "You, you..."

    There was a mess in his mind, and Qing Que couldn't even utter a sentence.

    Lu Jinxi snorted, not knowing whether he was laughing at her or at himself, and after a while he only sighed: "What should be solved, let's solve it, so that he will not suffer endless troubles."

    Chapter 96 Business Smell

    That night, Qingque almost walked out with hands and feet.

    The next day, Lu Jinxi didn't ask about it. After breakfast, he sent someone to ask his brother and sister, and let Bai go out to inquire about the news outside, especially the upwards.

    Then he went into the study and flipped out Xue Kuang's files.

    At first, she didn't think there was anything wrong with this file, and even after seeing Nayeza escape from Xue Kuang six times, she didn't have any doubts. But when she opened the dossier again and noticed these details, something in her heart slowly came together.

    The more you look, the colder you get.

    She had only flipped through three or five volumes, but she couldn't read it very well.

    The strange words of Princess Yongning when he asked Zong, and Fang Shaoxing's words to the Huns envoy Holden in front of the palace gate, "Xue Kuang didn't chase you, let you die", all echoed in my ears.

    Lu Jinxi suddenly felt terrible.

    Not only is it the truth behind this dossier that I don’t know whether it’s black or white, but also the suspicion that is out of thin air at the moment, and what this suspicion represents...

    When she was not suspicious, she thought that Xue Kuang was a great hero.

    So even if I read this dossier and notice something amiss, I subconsciously ignore the past. I don't think there is anything wrong with Xue Kuang, but I suspect that he is using the heart of a villain to treat a gentleman's belly and humiliate a hero.

    After becoming suspicious, she always felt that there was something wrong with Xue Kuang.

    So when I re-read this dossier, I only feel that the original normal details are immersed in an endless weirdness, like a ghost hidden in a cloud, unpredictable and full of danger. It turned out to be where to look, where is not right.

    So, what did Princess Yongning think about this dossier?

    What is the reason for these boxes of files to come together?

    In other words, who collected them, how many people saw it from beginning to end, and what kind of thoughts came to their minds after seeing them?

    Trust or Suspicion?

    Lu Jinxi couldn't figure it out at all.

    She only knew that if even she couldn't break free from such a mystery, she would even have two completely different judgments on the same file due to preconceived impressions.

    So, what about the others?

    How many sane people are there in the world?

    At the moment of closing the dossier, Lu Jinxi had only an indescribable daze: This should have been a simple and unquestionable general in Wuwei Township, Xue Kuang, but it turned out to be complicated...

    Its true face is shrouded in the cloud of this dossier.

    Thinking about it carefully, it not only makes people curious, but also makes people feel a vague fear.

    Having never been in contact with this person, and completely unable to infer from this person's temperament, Lu Jinxi pressed the file, thought about it for a long time, and finally decided not to read it again.

    There is no point in looking at these things without knowing enough.

    Perhaps, it is simply a "Rashomon".

    "Let's look at something else."

    She muttered to herself, and finally put all these files aside, and then took the account book in the corner of the desk. One side is from the mansion, and the other side is her own.

    At this time, she took the latter.

    A very thick account book, looking very old.

    It's probably because of too many pages, so the corners are already fluffed up. But Lu Jinxi didn't mind, just opened it and looked again carefully.

    This is Lu's own account book.

    When she married into the general's mansion, she was given the marriage by the emperor, and of course the dowry was generous. After entering the General's Mansion, Xue Kuang performed outstanding feats. She added a rank to his wife, and she was often rewarded by the palace. Most of the time, most of Xue Kuang's reward was given to her.

    From this point of view, if it is only a nominal marriage, Xue Kuang's face-saving efforts are enough.

    Therefore, the Lu family should have been very rich.

    It's just that she is not good at managing her own business, and she is not even good at controlling expenses. She spends a lot of time with her own money and does not contribute to the household, and she can't control the people below, and some accounts become bad debts that cannot be recovered.

    In the end, there is not a lot of money left in the account.

    To Lu Jinxi, he said that for any noble lady in the world today, if you have this kind of money and live frugally, you should be able to live a small ten years.

    But she is not a frugal person after all.

    You can endure hardships, but your nature is to love to enjoy. If you have the ability to make yourself better, why suffer?

    And she just has this ability.

    A while ago, she had flipped through Lu's account books several times, and took the opportunity to go out to read around, and even read a lot of miscellaneous books, but in the end she didn't know what to do with the money.
