Chapter 289 Concealing the Truth

"Miss Cousin, I'm also worried about your safety. I heard that the old house in the county town was sold, so I thought that's why you hurried over to make sure that Miss Cousin is safe."

Manager Li, who has gray hair on his temples, is very good at speaking. He speaks half and leaves half.

Lianyi had already sat down, but had no intention of letting Manager Li sit down. He held the handkerchief in his hand and said with red eyes:

"I asked the housekeeper to sell the old house in the county town. Just after my father passed away, there were rumors in the city that my father left me a fortune of tens of thousands of dollars. As a twelve-year-old girl, I finished my father's funeral in fear, so I just I can live my life hiding in Zhuangzi.

If the family really had so much money, even a ginseng plant a day could cost my father's life. Why would my father leave me so early?

I even sent someone to report the funeral to the Li Mansion in the capital. I originally thought that my uncle would come to support me, but it turned out that it had been three months since my father's funeral was completed, and you were the only one who came to the door. When you came up, you said, "I am the housekeeper of the Wu family." I can't help it, but I still want to add to the rumors. What's the point of bullying me, an orphan? "

After saying that, he started to wipe his tears with a handkerchief.

After hearing this, Manager Li's expression changed and he immediately knelt down to apologize.

"Damn it, I haven't seen my cousin, so I don't know if you are okay. I spoke out of proportion and made my cousin sad. I will be punished when I get back.

My cousin has wronged the master. When he learned that your father passed away, the master sent his step-grandfather to bring people to Jiangnan for the funeral."

"Really?"

Lianyi stopped crying and asked in surprise, then frowned and said:

"What about others? Why didn't I see them?"

After speaking, he turned to look at Butler Wu.

"Miss, if my cousin comes to attend the funeral, how can I dare to hide it? Besides, Miss is in the mourning hall, and you have seen all the people offering condolences."

"Yes! I haven't seen my cousin."

Ripple posed the question to Manager Li again.

"This is also the reason why I came here this time. The young master disappeared on his way here to attend the funeral. We have already reported him to the official."

"Is there such a thing?"

Lianyi pretended to be surprised and opened her mouth slightly, then said with some suspicion:

"Are you telling the truth? Shouldn't you be coaxing me? Has my cousin gone somewhere else?"

Steward Li immediately cursed and swore that what he said was true, but unfortunately both Lianyi and Steward Wu were skeptical.

Lianyi didn't want to hear Manager Li continue to talk nonsense, so she started coughing. Luo Ying raised her eyebrows and said with some displeasure:

"Manager Li, you have also met my lady. She is already sick, and she is still tired. My lady came out in person. What if the wind evil gets worse?"

"It's not me."

Manager Li could only say this.

"Luo Ying, help me go back and rest!"

"Yes, miss!"

Lianyi waved her hand to Manager Li and was helped away by the two maids, leaving Butler Wu and Manager Li staring at each other.

Manager Li was also self-aware. They obviously didn't want to see him and didn't even mention staying overnight, so he could only take the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

I wanted to inquire with the people in Zhuangzi, but although these people were very respectful to him, they didn't ask anything useful. They only said that Miss Wu was kind and treated them well and so on.

Returning to his boudoir, Ripple immediately returned to his original appearance. Minmin, who was following him, asked curiously:

"Miss, why are you so polite to that Manager Li?"

"He represents the Li family in the capital. Although the Li family is in decline in the capital, they still have some effect on the small counties in the south of the Yangtze River. They will intimidate some young people. Although the young lady does not want to get too close to them, But it’s far from the point of breaking up.”

Luo Ying explained patiently.

"Luo Ying is right. After the three-year mourning period is over, maybe they will come to take me to the Li Mansion in the capital."

Lianyi wiped off the white powder on her lips and said with a smile.

"Since you know that the other party has bad intentions, why do you still go?"

Zhou Minmin asked with a frown.

"Your young lady will be pregnant in three years. This needs to be taken care of by the elders. I can leave here just right and take you to the capital to see you."

Ripple said with a smile.

Luo Ying shook her head, but she knew that her young lady knew what was going on, so she didn't say anything more.

When Manager Li came back the next day, Manager Wu was so angry that he said before the other party could say anything:

"Manager Li, if you have anything to do, just say it. Yesterday you insisted on seeing the young lady, and the young lady dragged her body to see you. As a result, she caught wind and developed a fever this morning."

Manager Li had no choice but to pretend to be concerned and asked:

"But you invited a doctor to see you?"

"I invited you early in the morning. The lady just drank some fever-reducing and soothing medicine and went to sleep. It's inconvenient to disturb her now."

Butler Wu said calmly.

"That's good, there's nothing wrong. On behalf of the Li Mansion, I invite the young lady to live in the capital, so that she won't be lonely here and still be missed."

"That's not necessary. The young lady said that this place is close to the master and his wife, and she can visit the grave at any time. Besides, it wouldn't be appropriate to keep her filial piety and not stay with her relatives, right?"

Manager Li knew that the proposal was rejected, so he didn't bother anymore. He came here mainly to find the young master, so he said goodbye and left after a while.

After Li Guanshi left, Zhuangzi returned to his former peace. While Lianyi was learning martial arts, he also had to take into account the learning of other skills, and never had a moment of leisure.

However, Wen Lu became more and more enthusiastic as she taught her. She found that her young lady was so powerful. She only taught the sword moves once and the other party would remember them. When she taught her a second time, the young lady could already imitate the movements of a cat and a tiger, even though she did not have the blessing of internal energy. , but just looking at the sword moves can still be very bluffing.

Minmin encountered the same situation when she taught her young lady boxing. She once suspected that Miss Lianyi's boxing technique was the authentic King Kong Demon Subduing Fist, except that it was slightly inferior in strength.

Of course, this is the reason for Ripple's reservations. She won't let people know all her trump cards.

In the second month after moving to Zhuangzi, she had already used the spiritual essence of space to draw Qi into her body. Originally, she had the attitude of giving it a try. After all, this was not a world of cultivation, but she had to deal with people who appeared out of nowhere. She felt that there was still some way to restrain the evil spirits that came.

After introducing the Qi into her body, Lianyi felt the suppression of Heavenly Dao, but it seemed to be open to her.

"Nineteen, the heaven here allows me to cultivate."

"This is an agreement reached between our Space and Time Management Bureau and Fang Tiandao. We sent people to eliminate the threats that entered this interface through the space gap. He turned a blind eye and allowed you to have matching strength.

It's like you have entered an ancient interface, but the enemy has guns and ammunition. In order to destroy this enemy, you also need matching weapons. However, in order not to disrupt the entire interface, you can only have weapons that exceed the development of the plane. "

Shi Jiu explained it very clearly.

"Understood!"

Now that she was recognized by Heaven, she started practicing wholeheartedly. Three years later, she successfully reached the late stage of Qi refining, but there was no thunder calamity to help her break through the foundation building stage.

At this time, the people sent by the Li family in Beijing to pick her up also arrived at the villa.
