The old lady has been paying attention to her expression. When she saw the sharpness and displeasure in her eyes, she couldn't help frowning and said to Gu Zhiya, "Isn't she pretty in purple? You can't wear purple, and others can't. Well? Look, is there any reason for it?"

She said this with a smile, not like she was angry, but more like a joke. Gu Zhiya heard the words, but she couldn't help but shudder. After all, the old lady usually doesn't have such a joking temperament, but her words are more like beating.

Gu Zhiya couldn't help but tensed up in her heart, and a lot of things flashed in her mind, and she even wondered if it was yesterday that she brought up the matter of "letting Zhong Li enter the palace", which annoyed the old lady.

Gu Zhiya hurriedly said: "Why do I think so? Who does my grandmother think of me? Is Aya so domineering? I just think it's a coincidence. It turns out that my sister and I both like purple. It's really fate."

She smiled with anger, and took Zhong Li's hand after speaking, as if the two sisters were very friendly.

A trace of fear flashed in Zhong Li's eyes, and she retracted her hand uneasily. When she was done, a trace of annoyance flashed on her face, and she quickly apologized, "Sister Ya, yes, I'm sorry."

After she finished speaking, she added to herself in a low voice, "I, I hugged the kitten when I went out. I'm afraid my sister thinks I smell bad."

When Zhong Li was young, Gu Zhiya was not friendly to her. Facing Zhong Li, she had always been aloof and looked down upon others.

Seeing Zhong Li's fear of her, the old lady couldn't help feeling sour, and she thought of Gu Cheng for a while, looking at Gu Zhiya, her expression became colder.

Next, Gu Zhiya tried to show "sisterly love", but without exception, all failed.

After returning to her residence, Gu Zhiya's face turned completely cold, Mammy Zhang couldn't help scolding Zhong Li when she saw that the master was unhappy, "What a winless thing, this frightened appearance looks like the master. I've lost her! I never saw her like this when I was a child."

Gu Zhiya only vaguely remembered that Zhong Li had always liked to avoid her when she was a child. Seeing her acting like this today, Gu Zhiya was also very annoyed.

Naturally, she didn't know that Zhong Li was deliberately angering her.

Gu Zhiya is much smarter than Gu Zhiqing, and it is more difficult to deal with. It is only the first step to want her to show off and anger her.

At this time, Pei Xing had just left the morning court. He deliberately let people pay attention to the movements of Gu Zhiya and Zhong Li. At the morning court, he learned what happened in Yangxintang. His beautiful eyebrows could not help but frown slightly. , some headaches for a while.

He said to Qin Xing: "Send a few more people to find out everything as soon as possible. Find out where the wet nurse is buried. If it doesn't work, dissect the body to see if the cause of death can be found out."

Qin Xing responded, "Master, don't worry, your subordinates will make an investigation as soon as possible."

Thinking of Zhong Li's miserable experience, Qin Xing showed a hint of hesitation, "There is something I don't know if I should say it."

Pei Xing glanced at him, wondering where he came from so much nonsense.

Qin Xingquan didn't see his gaze, so he insisted: "Miss Zhong has suffered so much at such a young age. It's really pitiful, and the master should treat her better."

When Pei Xing heard this, his brows furrowed again, and he looked at him with a sharp gaze, "You care about her."

Qin Xing couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and knelt down quickly, "What this subordinate says is for the master's consideration, and there is no selfishness at all."

His voice was urgent and fast, lest Pei Xing misunderstand, he almost swore to the sky.

Pei Xing was noncommittal, and after a while, he sneered indifferently: "How can I be nice to her?"

What's wrong with him?

When she didn't want to, when did she not follow her? She disliked the pain, and he also held back his strength. Yesterday, he disliked her too much, so he beat him a bit. He didn't do anything, but she cried first.

He subconsciously touched the bite mark on his arm.

She bit her pretty hard last night, her arm was bleeding, and he didn't say a word. When he was getting dressed in the morning, he glanced at him inadvertently, and there was a small circle of deep teeth marks. If someone else dared to bite him like this, he would have been killed by him long ago. pinched to death.

It was her who dared to be presumptuous again and again.

Nothing more than relying on his favor.

What Qin Xing wanted to say was interrupted directly by Pei Xing. He said coldly: "How dare you worry about this, and the matter that was handed to you yesterday, has it been done? If it is done, go find some good seedlings, and then Cultivate a batch of dark lines."

Qin Xing touched the tip of his nose, and now he doesn't dare to talk anymore.

When he was about to slip away, Pei Xing frowned again, thinking that Zhong Li had cried for a long time yesterday, and felt inexplicably annoyed, he said again: "Get back, you send someone to find out where Doctor Xue is."

Qin Xing was startled for a moment, "Is it for the young master?"

Pei Xing didn't answer.

Qin Xing said with a smile: "Master is right to do this. If Miss Zhong finds out about this, she will be very happy."

Pei Xing drove the person away with a cold face. It was none of his business whether she was happy or not.

Chapter 36

In the spring of March, the spring flowers are blooming, the willow branches outside the courtyard are fluttering in the wind, and the fragrance of the flowers wafts far away. Zhong Li has now returned to the Picking Star Pavilion.

When she came back, before Cheng'er got up, Zhang's mother sighed and said, "You still have to call. The maid called twice, but he refused to get up."

Zhong Li smiled and said, "You guys go have breakfast first, just have me here."

After the maids retreated, Zhong Li sat down on Cheng'er's bedside. Cheng'er was actually awake. The little guy loved to stay in bed. After hearing his sister's voice, he got into the quilt and wrapped himself into a silkworm baby. The small body is arched high.

I thought that my sister would urge him to get up quickly, but I didn't expect my sister to rush him. The little guy couldn't hold his breath and got out of the quilt, revealing a small hairy head.

"elder sister?"

The little guy blinked his big eyes and looked over curiously.

Zhong Liben was in a daze, and when she met the little guy's bright smiling face, most of the dull feeling in her heart dissipated, and she gently rubbed his little head, "Are you willing to get up?"
