Text: Overt ridicule and innuendo

The servants and maids were waiting nearby, and they were also listening to the story told by the young man next door. During this period, some children began to urge him.

The children opened their eyes with big eyes and waited curiously, only to hear the young man continue to say: "Later, there were strange noises coming from the side. My mother said it was a big monster eating people!"

"Ah! The big monster is eating people!"

The youngest girl, who is still learning to talk, shows her two front teeth, which are not as big as beans, and smiles in imitation.

Two lotus root arms were waving wildly in the air, turning the originally tense atmosphere into a joyful scene.

Everyone laughed and began to imitate their little sister's cleverness, shouting about the big monster eating people, making all the young servants and maids also smile with joy.

But when I heard the young man next door patting the wall, he shouted anxiously: "I'm not kidding you, there really is a big monster that eats people! In the morning I climbed up the wall to take a look, and the yard opposite was already occupied.

The big monster was demolished, and all those wild dogs are gone. They must have been eaten by the big monster!"

"Hahaha, the big monster breaks down the wall and eats people, the big monster breaks down the wall and eats people!"

Another boy of a young age leaked something out of his mouth and teased his sister with a smile, which made everyone laugh and laugh, leaving the young man jumping around with his feet.

In this way, the house that disappeared inexplicably on a thunderstorm night gradually became known as a haunted house.

Some said that monsters eat people, some said that the gods sent punishments, and some even said that they had made their own sins and were killed by thunder.

In short, everything was said, but no one thought of it as artificial, and even if they did, they were immediately covered up by the voices beside them.

Listening to the chatter coming from everywhere, Lan Zhen squinted her eyes and knew that there must be someone behind the scenes who was adding fuel to the flames, otherwise how could they have spoken so unanimously.

Glancing at Liu Yu who was walking slowly next to him, he heard Lan Zhen suddenly ask: "Liu County Cheng, I don't know why you didn't let Manager Xu see you off just now?"

On the Qingshi Road, which is only one street away from Pei Gao and Yu Dekui, Lan Zhen's guards are looking at Pei Gao's men carefully, pushing two-wheeled carts, or driving carts and horses. They are quite relaxed.

.

Liu Yu stared straight ahead, listening to the inquiry from Lan Zhen, with a decent smile on her lips and a light expression.

"Why would Lan Weishu ask such a question? Why should a capable person like Manager Xu waste his time on such trivial matters? Although the eldest lady is polite, you shouldn't be ignorant of praise, right?"

Putting his left hand behind his back, Liu Yu coughed lightly and continued: "You are a sensible person. The sacrifice that Desolate City made for Yishui County is not a big deal. Lan Weizu must have heard it. Everyone praised it.

The fifth family member is so shameless!"

What, is he hinting that the prince is shameless?

It is true that the eldest girl in the deserted city has done a lot for Yishui, but isn't the prince acting under pressure from the court?

If the prince hadn't had good intentions, how would Yishui be like this?

If the prince really wanted to please the one in power, he would have listened to the suggestion of the auxiliary general Li Chengzhi and wiped out the place. It would not be his turn to ridicule openly and secretly here!

"It turns out that Liu Xiancheng cared about his daughter's family, and he was quite a scholar. He is worthy of being the youngest person to be elected in the Qian Kingdom."

Liu Yu glanced at Lan Zhen, knowing that Lan Zhen was loyal, but she didn't expect him to be so loyal. He just made some insinuations, and he half swallowed it and half ridiculed him.

That's right, he is the youngest person to be elected to the throne in the Qian Kingdom, and he almost became the youngest tribute scholar in the Qian Kingdom.
