Chapter 24

Although Hejian county is a small place, it is a place with outstanding people and gathered many dignified gentry in Dongqing.

The Liu family, where Liu Lanting is located, has been inherited since the 16 countries. Although it is not very prominent, it has lasted for more than 300 years.

Just because Ding Buwang, a member of the clan, has become more and more low-key in recent years, except that Liu Lanting's biological father is a foreign official and has real power in his hands, most of the other clans hold relatively idle positions, some even live in seclusion and become idle clouds and wild cranes, while others are famous celebrities.

It seems to outsiders that Liu's family is slowly starting to decline, but Jiang Pengji thinks that the family is very smart and can relax a little. Only the children of the clan can't be lazy in their studies. Every child who enters the clan school must be paid close attention to their studies by the parents above.

Although Liu Lanting's father was also a direct son, he did not attack the Pope, but a direct second son.

Not counting the messy relatives, the population of liulanting's family is still simple.

My father worked abroad all year round, and my stepmother asked to stay in Hejian to take care of Liu Lanting. After all, most of the great scholars in Dongqing came from Hejian, Langya and huanxiang counties. Liu's father really didn't do well in that place. I heard that he still had to take great risks. Not only that, I can't find a knowledgeable teacher in that poor mountain and water.

Mrs. die didn't know why she didn't follow Liu's father to take office. Instead, she chose to stay in Hejian county. She gave Liu Lanting some colors from time to time or said specious words, but she never did anything special.

After Liu Fu went out to work that year, the family moved out of the family and bought a three in house near the family land.

The house is not big, but it is much better than living in crowded ethnic land. Things in the house can also be controlled in their own hands.

Liu Lanting's home is in three squirrels street. Jiang Pengji slightly lifts the curtain of the car and can see the cold outside Liu's house all the way.

"If younger brother Liu is not here, I can't come to the door and complain..." the prefect smiled like Maitreya Buddha. There was already a witty boy outside who jumped out of the carriage, knocked on the door of the Liu house and informed them that the second husband of the Liu family returned safely. "If you have academic difficulties, you can find me. Although I am not as knowledgeable as your father, I can do my bit."

Jiang Pengji nodded and thanked the prefect.

The prefect in charge of a county should be very powerful, but it also depends on where the prefect is.

In fact, according to the land area and the number of people, Hejian county is actually smaller than the county. However, this place has different meanings, so it is specially changed to "county". The sheriff here is just a small official with a bigger sesame seed.

In this small area of Hejian County, the position of the prefect is equivalent to providing for the elderly. Jiang Pengji helped him a lot, so she was so intimate.

Just after that, Jiang Pengji faintly heard Liu's servants shouting with joy, "the second husband is back..."

Jiang Pengji thought that when she came back, she could see a room full of white flags and her coffin. Unexpectedly, it was such a cold scene... It was abnormal. "I'm not here this day. What happened at home?"

The servant was very surprised at his appearance, or it was like seeing the backbone and life-saving benefactor.

Jiang Pengji's eyes swept around each other, and all kinds of information filled her brain.

The servant stayed on the pink head's bed last night, and his body still smelled of wine, indicating that he may have stayed in Liuxiang last night and didn't go out to look for liulanting. The rouge on his finger is not the same person as the pink head he slept with... Tut, this man looks dishonest.

Jiadingsi has no idea where Jiang Pengji slept last night. She also knows that he went to the gambling house not long ago and made a little money. At present, she is considering whether to transfer him, a traitor and derelict servant, from the concierge to another post or quit altogether.

"Er Lang, you're back. Madam and Mrs. die both fainted when they heard that you were kidnapped by thieves. The doctor was still guarding the madam and nearly went last night... Mrs. die was ill again after waking up and asked all the servants of the house to go to the mountain to find you. There's no backbone in the house. Now the master is not at home. If you have something wrong..."

The servant rubbed his hands and said, seemingly eager and happy, but her eyes were unnaturally staggered from Jiang Pengji's gaze, which was a subconscious modesty.

Taking back her sight, Jiang Pengji drove the redundant information out of her brain, and the things analyzed were just hot eyes.

She interrupted the servant and asked directly, "yesterday, I went to the mountain to find my servants, and I found them all?"

The servant said, "no, except the maidservant who stayed to take care of the two ladies, all who can be sent out have been sent out."

Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows and asked, "including you?"

The servant didn't know that Jiang Pengji set a trap for him, so he patted his chest to show his loyalty, "where is this, Mr. er? The villain is loyal to you. He knows that you have been kidnapped by thieves. Who doesn't worry in the house? Villain naturally..."

"How did the powder taste last night?" Jiang Pengji asked coldly, "remember to cover her face when gambling."

The servant led the way and almost fell to the ground. His slightly mean face was full of amazement.

"Go down to the housekeeper and get punished. I'll catch it again and sell it directly to people!"

Jiang Pengji snorted coldly. She hated this kind of poor performance that didn't even have basic actor quality. She really thought she was as easy to deceive as a three-year-old child? The porter was too frightened to make a sound. The whole man was still a little confused. It happened that at this time, the housekeeper of the Liu house came running in small steps.

"Two gentlemen."

Liu's father hasn't returned since he took office for many years. Liu's house still works well, which is inseparable from the housekeeper.

Jiang Pengji glanced at the old housekeeper and was quite satisfied, "I'm back. How's my mother now?"

The housekeeper nearly burst into tears when he saw the living Jiang Pengji. He has always attached great importance to the rules. If he hadn't been too happy for a while, he wouldn't have done it at ordinary times, "madam's condition is getting worse, I'm afraid..."

Jiang Pengji softened her eyebrows and said, "while walking, she said that her mother's condition has really been so serious?"

According to Liu Lanting's memory, although Mrs. Ji was in bed and drank medicine all year round, she looked pretty good the day before yesterday. Even on the flower festival more than half a month ago, that is, Liu Lanting's birthday, the stepwife went down to the ground to make her a bowl of longevity noodles.

The old housekeeper saw the strange clothes Jiang Pengji was wearing. His eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't point it out. He just buried the doubt in his heart.

"Yes... Yesterday, an unruly slave didn't know the situation, but directly reported that the second husband had died at the hands of the thieves. After hearing this, the eldest lady fainted and held her breath for several times. Mrs. butterfly was also greatly frightened and immediately asked the servants of the house to go out to look for... I don't know which immortal he offended. Soon, it came that the third husband accidentally broke his head while playing with his maidservant in the backyard …”

All of a sudden, the three masters of the family were seriously ill and looked for a doctor everywhere.

Jiang Pengji suddenly stopped for a moment. She suddenly felt whether she had made a mistake in a detail?
