Chapter 777 Shi Mansion
Su Yan still doesn't know that he has become the "condition" mentioned by Shi Yangui's mother and son.
She followed Liang Yi to Shi Mansion, still serving as Liang Yi's maid so that she could move around more easily.
Liang Yi frowned, "Who likes to be a maid? I always feel like I'm bullying you."
Su Yan said: "You are lucky, you were born a prince, and the maid is unlucky, so she can only serve others. Just because you are unlucky, should you be bullied by the lucky ones?"
Liang Yi: “…That’s true.”
After a while, Liang Yi said again: "I noticed that you started to scold me."
Su Yan: “…”
Their little prince is becoming more and more intelligent.
The old lady of the Shi family, Jiang Yun, was already eighty years old, and many people came to celebrate for her.
Liang Yi took Su Yan to hide in the hexagonal pavilion in the garden to drink tea.
Su Yan took the opportunity to ask more gossip about the Shi Mansion.
Liang Yi said: "I am a man, I hate gossiping about others, but about my grandmother..."
"My grandmother's family background was not good. The Shi family became rich after my eldest uncle became the prime minister. My eldest uncle was a scholar, but he was dismissed from office soon. The current glory of the Shi family is all due to Brother Yan Gui."
Every time Liang Yi mentioned Shi Yangui, his face was filled with pride.
Cao Cao arrived quickly. When Yan Gui and Le Sheng passed by the garden, Liang Yi immediately waved at him, "Brother!"
Shi Yangui looked towards the hexagonal pavilion, then looked at Su Yan, and was silent for a moment before walking over.
Liang Yi asked: "Where are you going? Today is grandma's birthday party, aren't you going to host it?"
Shi Yangui responded coldly, "I'm not good at dealing with these trivial matters."
"That's right, Brother Yan Gui wants to fight."
Su Yan felt that Shi Yangui was a little strange, "You said you caught a cold and haven't recovered yet? Your voice is still not right."
Liang Yi asked in surprise: "You caught a cold? Is there something wrong with your voice?"
Why does it all sound the same to him?
Shi Yan Gui said: "No problem."
After saying that, he sat down opposite Su Yan.
Su Yan couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Le Sheng with a stern face, "Didn't you promise to keep my wish to see Chu Feng a secret?"
Le Sheng said: "But General Shi is not an outsider."
Su Yan: "You are not trustworthy!"
Le Sheng said aggrievedly: "If I can't trust General Ruo Shi, who else can I trust? General, what do you think?"
He looked at Shi Yangui pitifully, praying that he could say a few words for him.
Shi Yan Gui said: "It is true that he is not trustworthy."
Le Sheng: “…”
Liang Yi said: "You promised someone something and then went back on your word. I won't dare tell you secrets in the future."
Le Sheng: “…”
He has to dare to listen to the little prince's secrets!
Su Yan was even more puzzled.
Shi Yangui actually agreed with her? Usually he was the most reasonable and the best at preaching.
Shi Yan Gui was unmoved.
Su Yan:?
She secretly cursed him in her heart, but he didn't react?
Liang Yi continued to introduce to Su Yan, "Grandmother had four sons. The eldest uncle Shi Zheng was briefly the prime minister, but was later framed by Zhao Mingde and forced to retire and return home, where he died on the way. The next one was Yan Guige's father Shi Rong, who only got a small official position. However, Yan Guige's mother was Princess Chen Lian, the daughter of my aunt, who was not very favored."
Su Yan looked at Shi Yangui, "Even if he is not favored, his status doesn't seem to match."
"I heard that it was a gentleman's friendship, and then the engagement was made."
Shi Yangui nodded slightly.
Liang Yi said: "Shi Pei is an acquaintance. He is Shi Yanli's father, the third son, and now he is the Minister of Revenue. The fourth son... Brother, is there another fourth son in your family?"
"Don't you understand?"
"I haven't seen it, I just heard others mention it, but I don't have a deep impression."
Su Yan and Liang Yi both looked at Shi Yangui.
Le Sheng also looked at him curiously.
Shi Yangui glanced at the three people's faces and said, "This is a family matter."
Su Yan spoke first, "We are friends, your home is my home, and my home is still my home."
Liang Yi said: "It's not a secret anyway. If Su Yan wants to know, just tell her."
Le Sheng nodded repeatedly, "I want to know too...Oh no, Miss Su wants to know."
Shi Yangui frowned at Liang Yi, and after a moment he said, "My fourth uncle was called Shi Lin, and he has passed away."
"I've lived for twenty years and I've never seen my fourth uncle. Did he die of illness?"
"kindness."
"What's wrong with you?"
Shi Yangui looked at Liang Yi.
Liang Yi's eyes were sharp.
Shi Yan Gui: "..., just caught a cold. Fourth uncle's early death is a thorn in grandmother's heart and cannot be mentioned in the Shi Mansion."
"No wonder you never mentioned it to me."
Su Yan touched the jade pendant in his purse and looked at Shi Yangui.
Shi Yangui sensed Su Yan's gaze, but deliberately avoided it and did not look at her.
Su Yan was even more confused.
Shi Zheng, Shi Rong and Shi Lin have all passed away, and now only Shi Pei is left in the mansion.
Could it be that Shi Pei was afraid of Shi Yangui and sent people to hunt him down?
It doesn't make sense. Although Shi Yangui had become famous for his military achievements at that time, his status was not what it is today. Shi Pei's position as the Minister of Revenue still depended on Shi Yangui.
And there was no need for him to go to Anping Town in person.
After all, the person with the greatest suspicion is still Shi Yangui.
He is a member of the Shi family, has a jade pendant, and lives in Anping Town.
Mother’s illness has not been cured, and the only person who has had contact with Shi Yangui is Su Mao. Did father know Shi Yangui’s secret and was silenced, or is there some other hidden story?
However, Shi Yangui has his own jade pendant, so Su Yan has to find a way to find other people’s jade pendants and compare them to find out who the jade pendant belongs to.
How should a coroner investigate a person? The coroner can only...
Shi Yangui suddenly said, "Don't let your imagination run wild."
Su Yan: “…”
We really can't do bad things.
Given Shi Fu's current status, although many people came to celebrate his birthday, they were limited to those who had never taken sides in the court or who took sides with Shi Yan Gui.
The officials who followed Zhao Mingde only gave gifts but did not show up, including Crown Prince Liang Yu.
Liang Yi spoke for the prince, "My second brother is on good terms with Zhao Mingde now, so it's inconvenient for him to come over, but he asked me to bring a gift, which he prepared very carefully."
Among those who came to celebrate the birthday, there was one person who was the most special.
This person was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, wearing simple clothes, with clear features, and he came without causing any commotion.
Liang Yi whispered, "This is my third brother Liang Xi. He has been weak and sickly since childhood, but he is very intelligent and was once the emperor's favorite son. When he was ten years old, he fell from the second floor and his legs became diseased. This chariot was made specifically for my third brother by a skilled craftsman asked by my emperor."
Liang Xi didn't like noise and didn't exchange greetings with Liang Yi. He just gave the gift and left.
"After his leg was broken, the third brother became withdrawn and unwilling to interact with us. He stayed in the mansion all day long. I haven't seen him for some time."
Su Yan whispered to Liang Yi, "He has a withdrawn personality, but he came to the Shi residence to give a gift. Could he be Shi Yangui's man as well?"
"How could that be? They have no connection at all. The Shi Mansion once found a good doctor who saved my third brother from the pain and itching in his legs. My third brother always sends gifts to the Shi Mansion's birthday banquet. As for other officials... my third brother is too lazy to interact with them."
Liang Xi had already left while they were talking.
The dinner was a family dinner, and only people from the Shi family attended.
Liang Yi was thick-skinned and familiar with the Shi family. He had already agreed to stay, and Su Yan stayed with him.
Unfortunately, the Shi Mansion was heavily guarded and Su Yan never had a chance to slip away.
Liang Yi walked around and returned to the banquet. He saw Su Yan eating candied fruit out of boredom, and his eyes were fixed on Shi Yangui.
"Why do you always dislike Brother Yan Gui?"
Su Yan asked, "Is he a little strange today?"
"Really?" Liang Yi said, "He's still very handsome."
Su Yan: “…”
"Look at him. He's very quiet today. He hardly speaks."
Liang Yi said: "What's so strange about this? Brother Yan Gui has always been like this."
Su Yan was surprised: "He doesn't talk much?!"
"We rarely talk when we are together."
Su Yan stuffed two candied fruits into his mouth in one breath, "You must be lying to me, he is obviously like a bee, always buzzing."
Liang Yi said, "Next time he buzzes, tell me to go and listen."
The maidservant at the side said: "..."
Should I listen?
Can you hear me?
Can she still save her life?
