Ever since she turned fourteen, every time she talked to her elders and brothers and sisters in the family, her marriage would inevitably come up, and Xiao Bi was used to it.

She smiled and said, "Third sister, this is just based on experience."

Xiao Shan gently pinched her waist: "You little devil, no wonder the eldest sister always says that every time we talk about serious things with you, you start rambling!"

Xiao Bi felt her waist was extremely itchy and kept begging for mercy: "I'm really scared of you. Later I will ask my grandfather to choose a son-in-law for me in the army. I will follow the standards of my third brother-in-law..."

Xiao Shan had no choice but to change the topic: "In a few months, you will be old enough. My eldest sister will give you five thousand horses. Your third brother-in-law and I don't dare to compete with her, so I will give you three thousand horses."

What do you think of the saddle as a gift?"

Xiao Bi was really shocked.

Are all her sisters so wealthy?

The value of three thousand saddles is certainly not as valuable as that of five thousand horses, but it is not a small amount either.

Although the dowry for a girl born from a concubine in Duke Dingguo's palace is much richer than that for a girl born directly from an ordinary official family, there is no reason to spend so much on a younger sister.

The third brother-in-law's family background is ordinary. He and the third sister will have other children in the future, so they have a lot of money to spend.

Besides, she's not really short of money, she just can't spend it as she pleases for the time being.

Just when she was about to politely refuse, Xiao Shan rolled her eyes.

"What's the matter? You happily accept the eldest sister's gift, but the third sister's gift is too hot to handle?"

"Where..." Xiao Bi didn't know what to say.

Although the eldest sister and the third sister are both biological sisters, and the relationship between them is very close, but they are not sisters from the same mother, so some things are very sensitive.

Her original intention was not to let the third sister spend money, but once she refused, it was easy for the third sister to have other ideas.

"What a kid you are..." Xiao Shan hugged her waist again: "Elder sister has a distinguished status and does not need to plan for the future of her children, so giving you five thousand horses is nothing.

But your third brother-in-law has also made a lot of money over the years, so he can still afford to give away several thousand saddles.

Besides, if the third sister’s family cannot survive in the future, won’t you give us a hand?”

Xiao Bi smiled helplessly and said: "Then I would like to thank the third sister and the third brother-in-law."

Xiao Shan then smiled with satisfaction and asked her about some things in Beijing.

Of course, what she is most concerned about is the current situation of her biological mother, Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu is not a meddlesome person, and after her daughter got married, she became even more reclusive.

Therefore, although they lived in the same mansion, Xiao Bi could not see her more than once throughout the year.

Especially when she left Beijing this time, in order to fool Wei Yuan, she didn't even say hello to her third aunt and second sister-in-law, let alone Aunt Liu.

At this time, when Xiao Bi heard the third sister mentioning Aunt Liu, she felt her ears feel a little hot.

Seeing her awkward look, Xiao Bi laughed and said: "Who doesn't know that our ninth master is a busy man? I just asked casually, and my aunt writes to me every month!"

Xiao Bi said: "Third sister, although my aunt is living well in the house, you are the person she is closest to.

Have you never thought about bringing your aunt to Yanmen County in these years?

My brother-in-law is so kind to you, I think he will have no problem with it."

Xiao Shan sighed: "Why haven't you thought about it? When I first got married, I didn't know your brother-in-law's personality, so I didn't dare to tell my aunt about this idea.

Later, your brother-in-law and I got better and better, and I wanted to take my aunt by my side even more to honor her.

For this reason, your brother-in-law even wrote several letters to persuade my aunt, but she always said that it was against the rules, what can I do?"

Xiao Bi curled her lips.

It’s because of my father again!

In all these years, she has never seen her father treat Aunt Liu kindly.

Since you don't take people seriously, why do you have to keep them in the house? It's really a mistake to mislead others and yourself!

She vowed: "Don't worry, Third Sister, leave this matter to me."

"You?" Xiao Shan was amused again.

It's not that she doesn't believe Xiaojiu, it's that she doesn't believe her aunt.

My aunt has lived for her all her life, and she will never do anything that is even remotely detrimental to her.

Xiao Bi raised her eyebrows: "You have to give everything a try. What if I persuade my aunt?"

Xiao Shan felt that her heart was warm.

Xiaojiu seems to be born with such infectious energy. She knows that things are not easy to achieve, but makes people unreasonably believe that she will succeed.

"If I can persuade my aunt, Third Sister will definitely thank you very much!"

※※※※

After dinner, Xiao Bi accompanied Huan Yu around the general's mansion.

Seeing that she was not in a high mood, Huan Yu asked warmly: "Xiaojiu is still thinking about the disfigured man?"

Xiao Bi sighed and said, "I really admire Brother Huan. Doesn't he feel too much pressure to be with someone like you all day long?"

"This sounds like you are praising me."

"Brother Huan, so you are such a stinker?"

Huan Yu said indifferently: "No matter what difficulties you encounter, people must learn to find some fun in it, otherwise it will be difficult to persevere."

Xiao Bi said: "Today I asked my grandfather some things about King Yong's past, but unfortunately I didn't get any results."

"Do you suspect that the disfigured man is related to King Yong?"

Xiao Bi nodded: "I have to think so. But fifteen years have passed since King Yong's rebellion, and many things can no longer be investigated."

Huan Yu pondered for a moment and then said: "Xiao Jiu, you told me last night that now that the task has been completed, the rest of the things are not ours to worry about. But why are you so obsessed with old cases today?"

Xiao Bi chuckled softly: "Brother Huan, if there is another secret behind my mother's early death, do you think I should be persistent?"

Huan Yu's breath was stagnant: "You mean..."

Xiao Bi shook her head: "I don't know how to tell you. Anyway, I must find out about this matter."

Huan Yu understood Xiao Bi very well.

Because he thought so and did this before.

If he hadn't found out everything, he wouldn't have been able to live so peacefully in these years.

"Since you haven't found out the result from the old man, what are you going to do next?"

"The people who know the identity of the disfigured man are the Lord Liuyun and Liang Ruoru.

It is impossible for the Liuyun Kingdom Lord, so we can only start with Liang Ruoru.

But you also know what kind of person he is, and if you want to get anything useful out of him, it may be harder than climbing to the sky."

Huan Yu said: "There is no mouth that cannot be pried open. As long as you find Liang Ruoru's weakness, nothing will be a problem."

"Weakness?" Xiao Bi stopped and turned her head to look at him: "You mean I have to talk to Pu Lan again?"

Huan Yu nodded: "Liang Ruoru is too mysterious, even my grandfather doesn't know much about him, so the clues I can provide you are very limited.
