"Concubine Yi, didn't you die of illness?" Luo Xingchen frowned.

The death of Concubine Yi at that time did not cause much disturbance. Although Concubine Yi's family had first-rate connections, she ultimately suffered the loss of having no children.

In addition, the emperor did not have much affection for her at that time.

After the imperial doctors concluded that he died of illness, they quickly buried him.

Soon, except for a few people, no one remembered that there had been a concubine Yi.

"It is true that Concubine Yi's health was not very good, but she died of illness at a very young age, only in her twenties. Her family was the Marquis of Ning after the founding of the country, and she kept a low profile in the capital. After learning about this, she didn't say anything at the time."

Bi She said calmly.

"It's not a good idea to ask the Emperor about this matter." Luo Xingchen said, "Let's check first."

"Sister Bi She, do you know the Dou family?" Luo Xingchen changed the subject.

"I haven't been in the capital for a long time. I have been busy with the Feng family recently. I don't know much about other families in the capital." Bi She shook her head and said.

This is normal. There are at least hundreds of sophisticated families in the capital, and some of them are deeply intertwined, and their relationships even extend to the former and southern dynasties.

You know, the capital of Daqi was the capital of the Southern Dynasties. It has hundreds of years of history right here.

After the world was in chaos and the Southern Dynasties fell apart, the capital never suffered much war, and many ancient families survived.

"Your housekeeper should know why you are seeking far away from the near." Bi She raised her lips.

Luo Xingchen suddenly felt that he had gone into a misunderstanding. When it came to knowing some things about the capital, Wang Dong was definitely an inquisitor.

"Okay, Sister Bi She, you go back and have a good rest. Let the maid in the backyard room prepare whatever you need." Luo Xingchen said.

"Okay, I'll call Wang Dong here for you."

Bi Snake stepped out of the door.

After a while, Wang Dong trotted over, with a lot of sweat on his forehead and gasping for air.

"Steward Wang, it seems that you have been training with the boys in the backyard for a while. Your current health is not very good." Luo Xingchen said.

Wang Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Master, please spare me. If you let me train with those boys, you might as well kill me."

"Then what should we do?" Luo Xingchen said, "Let Miss Gongsun make a plan for you and let her supervise it every day. Don't say no to this."

"Okay, Master, then I'll give it a try." Wang Dong had no choice but to nod.

Now that Luo Xingchen has given the order, Wang Dong has no choice but to obey. However, he already has an idea in his mind. He wants to find an opportunity to talk to Gongsun Baba. This plan must not be too difficult to make. With his body

But I can’t eat or live.

He was frightened. Ever since he saw the intensity of training by those boys, he secretly sighed... There is nothing a person can bear, and he can't do it anyway.

"You can tell Miss Gongsun about this later. I'm looking for you for other reasons."

Luo Xingchen pursed his lips and said, "I want to know about the Dou family. Do you have any news about the Dou family?"

"The Dou family? Is it the oldest aristocratic family in the capital, the Dou family?" Wang Dong, the housekeeper, asked.

"Is there more than one Dou family in the capital?" Luo Xingchen wondered.

"Of course there is more than one Dou family. As far as I know, there are at least three famous Dou families in the capital." Butler Wang Dong said with a smile.

"I don't care about the other Dou family, I'm asking about the largest ancient family." Luo Xingchen asked.

"I know about the Dou family. Many people in the capital know that something interesting happened to the Dou family a while ago."

A strange smile appeared on Wang Dong's face.

"The eldest young master of the Dou family and the legitimate son of the head of the family, Dou Hui, was defrauded of his wealth by a woman."

"Dou Hui? Isn't it Dou Jinhan?" Luo Xingchen was a little confused. Isn't the young master of the Dou family Dou Jinhan? Together with him, he was called the Four Young Masters by some good people.

"Dou Hui is Dou Jinhan's biological father. The head of the Dou family is Dou Jinhan's grandfather. The old man is in good health. He is now in his sixties and is still as powerful as a young man. Dou Hui can only

You can't become the head of the family if you continue to be the eldest young master." Wang Dong said with a smile.

"Speaking of this Dou Hui, he is very famous in the capital, mainly for fun. This master likes to raise birds and play with antique calligraphy and painting. The Dou family has a big business, so it is nothing for him to play with these things. After a life of wealth and honor,

It’s inevitable.”

"Although Dou Hui is not very promising, he is quite decent in his business. In addition, he is not a womanizer and does not go to brothels. The prince's seat is still very suitable."

"But who would have thought that Dou Hui would fall for women."

Having said this, Wang Dong couldn't help laughing again.

"What's going on?" Hearing this, Luo Xingchen also became interested.

"Dou Hui doesn't go to brothels, but he likes to go to Goulan to listen to operas. He's not a womanizer, but he still likes to listen to operas and listen to books. Somehow, he fell in love with a Huadan and chatted with her several times.

, I went back and forth and actually took this beautiful lady back as my concubine."

"It's a concubine. This is all a trivial matter. The Dou family probably never thought that the Dou family would fall into the hands of this concubine."

"The Dou family wanted to do business, and the concubine contacted a customer for them. As a result, the business was negotiated and the money was sent, but the customer actually disappeared..." Wang Dong said.

"Where is the concubine? This must have something to do with the concubine." Luo Xingchen asked.

"The concubine also disappeared. Later, when the Dou family went to investigate, they discovered that this concubine was not the original Hua Dan, but a fake Hua Dan. The real Hua Dan was locked up in a cellar a long time ago and starved to death. Her body was

They are all mummified." Wang Dong sighed.

"This is really tragic. It seems that the other party is well prepared and has been plotting against the Dou family for a long time. In this way, it will be difficult for the Dou family not to fall for it," Luo Xingchen said.

There must be a big force behind the concubine pretending to be a beautiful woman. They set a trap based on the weakness of Dou Hui of the Dou family. With such a carefully calculated layout, it would be difficult for the Dou family not to fall for it.

"Even if this business fails, the Dou family's family fortune is so huge, it won't be a big deal."

"Master, it's not what you think. The Dou family is actually nothing. Over the years, they have spent a lot of money on food and clothing. They have long been living beyond their means. Even a lot of the money that was defrauded was sold to sellers.

They were scraped together, and some were even pawned or borrowed..."

"Once deceived like this, the Dou family will collapse immediately. It's really a big joke." Wang Dong said.

"If you live frugally, you won't be able to get through the difficulties." Luo Xingchen said.

"It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. If they want them to live a hard life, it will be difficult for the gang leader." Wang Dong said.
