Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

After all, Dangui was a maid raised by Chen, so naturally she hoped that Xu Chaoge and his sister would live in harmony.

So when he heard Xu Xingyin's words, he naturally wanted to give him some advice.

Before he could even open his mouth, he heard someone next to him burst out laughing.

The two of them turned their heads tacitly and happened to see Xu Wanyan, who was still smiling.

Xu Wanyan, who was caught red-handed, twisted her handkerchief somewhat unnaturally, then called out with a smile.

"Seventh sister."

"Eighth sister." Xu Xingyin replied politely.

"I guess we'll have to make room for Second Sister later. This place is close to Fourth Sister's place. If Seventh Sister is free, why don't you come over and sit with me?"

Xu Xingyin took a sip of tea, thinking that these two people were indeed close, and then smiled.

"Okay, I've been back for so long, I should have gone to Fourth Sister's place to get acquainted with her."

Xu Wanyan smiled and said nothing.

Everyone sat for a while, and as expected, Old Madam Xu sent all the girls back except Xu Wanfeng.

As soon as Xu Xingyin stood up, Xu Wanlin pulled him affectionately towards her own Liuli Pavilion.

Xu Wanlin's residence is called Liuli Pavilion. Although it is not as big as Xu Xingyin's Chenguangyuan, it has its own unique flavor.

Just by looking at the time Xu Wanlin put into tinkering with her residence, you can tell that she also has good taste.

After the three of them entered the house, Xu Wanlin asked someone to make tea, while Xu Wanyan called the maid as if she was familiar with the place.

"Don't forget my baby."

The maidservant responded and left. After a while, she came back into the room carrying brewed tea and a pot of wine. Xu Wanyan directly handed over the wine and smiled happily at Xu Xingyin while holding the pot of wine.

"Sister Seven, can you drink?"

Xu Xingyin shook his head like a rattle, "I can't drink it."

"Seventh sister, don't bother with her! She just likes this."

Xu Wanlin came to the rescue at the right time and poured a cup of tea for Xu Xingyin herself, "Seventh sister, please try it. Although it is not as expensive as the tea in your room, it is also authentic Jiangnan tea. If you are not used to it, just treat it as a taste of wild fun."

Xu Xingyin took the tea and took a sip. The tea was authentic Pingshuizhu, which showed that Xu Wanlin had put a lot of thought into it.

Since others were willing to give Xu Xingyin some face, Xu Xingyin would naturally return the favor and replied with a smile.

"Fourth sister is so thoughtful. I've been back for so long, but I never thought I'd get to taste the flavor of Jiangnan here."

"As long as Seventh Sister likes it, then I'll be relieved. I've been wanting to invite Seventh Sister over for a long time, but I didn't expect it to take so long."

"It's my fault. Fourth sister has helped me several times, and I always remember it."

Xu Wanlin felt relieved after hearing this, "Seventh sister, you are too polite, aren't you? This is your first time back home, if we can help you in any way, we will certainly do our best to help you."

Xu Wanyan, who was standing next to her, drank another glass of wine and laughed along.

"Look, you can see that there are many snakes, demons, and gods in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion. If you are not careful, you will be gnawed until there is nothing left but bones."

Xu Xingyin knew that these two people must have a purpose today, so he smiled and said nothing, just waiting for their next words.

Seeing this, Xu Wanlin stopped beating around the bush with Xu Xingyin.

"That's exactly what Eighth Sister said. Even if a person has three heads and six arms, there are times when he can't take care of everything. If Seventh Sister doesn't mind, then please get closer to us in the future. Sisters can support each other, so what obstacles can't be overcome?"

With just one word, the two of them turned their attention to Xu Xingyin.

After going around in circles for a while, it turns out that the purpose of these two people today is to form an alliance with me?

Judging from the current situation, forming an alliance with Xu Xingyin is not a bad thing.

Before the situation stabilizes, it would be better to make friends with them instead of fighting against so many people alone.

At least we can save some energy to investigate the affairs of the Zhennan General's Mansion, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin made a decision and said with a smile.

"Sisters should support each other. I wonder if Fourth Sister and Eighth Sister like Jiangnan snacks? I'll send someone to bring you some to try later. If you like them, I'll ask the kitchen to make more next time."

Xu Xingyin's words meant that he agreed to form an alliance with them.

They both smiled when they heard this, "Thank you, Seventh Sister/Sister."

As the three of them chatted, the topic turned to Xu Wanfeng.

"The last time, we investigated the matter. It was said that the maid accidentally spilled soup on Second Sister's dress. Seeing that no one saw it, she was lazy and didn't wash it again. After drying it, she sent it directly to Second Sister."

After saying this, Xu Wanlin was full of sarcasm, "It's a pity that they believed such a lame excuse."

Xu Wanyan smiled and took over the conversation, "Second sister has a pure mind, and mother is also an honest person, so naturally she doesn't have that many tricks."

Xu Xingyin smiled but did not comment. This matter must be related to Xu Wanmian and Xu Wanjie, but their methods were clean and no one could find out. Who else would dare to say anything?

"It's just that Seventh Sister has been wronged and suffered this injustice for nothing."

"Fourth sister, you don't have to worry about me."

Xu Xingyin smiled when he heard this, "It would be a loss of my status to get angry with them. Besides, I don't have any evidence, so why would I go to such trouble?"

Xu Wanlin laughed and praised.

"Seventh sister is very insightful."

The alliance team's first conversation was generally pleasant. It was almost dinner time before Xu Xingyin said goodbye to the two and returned to his own Chenguang Courtyard.

As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Chen coming towards her cheerfully. Chen must have been waiting for her for some time, and she started chatting with her about family matters without caring at all.

Chen said that both families were very satisfied with the meeting and they would probably start the process of "three letters and six engagements" in a few days.

Xu Wanfeng was the first girl to get married in the mansion, and everyone in the family attached great importance to her.

Of course, this also means that girls of similar age in the family will also have to start looking for a partner.

Although Xu Xingyin is the seventh child and has a group of older sisters who are not in a hurry, this does not affect a mother's desire to take care of her children.

When it comes to marriage, Chen thinks of the childhood engagement between Xu Xingyin and Crown Prince Jing Zhichen.

Empress Mingzhen had a very close relationship with her at that time, so Xu Xingyin had such an opportunity.

But now that Empress Mingzhen has passed away, although Jing Zhichen is the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, he is surrounded by jackals, tigers and leopards, and his situation is not really smooth.

After Empress Mingzhen passed away, her cousin Xiao Lu entered the palace and soon gave birth to the fourth prince, Prince Ding Jing Zhian.

Prince Ding is now beginning to become a powerful figure, so Empress Lu naturally can no longer tolerate Jing Zhichen, the legitimate son born to Empress Mingzhen.

Besides, the internal strife between the several branches of the Lu family is becoming more and more intense.

With the support of Queen Xiao Lu, the Xiao Lu Mansion seems to be surpassing the others. If this is the case, Jing Zhichen will be somewhat alone and unable to support the family.
