Chapter 117 Beautiful Woman
After listening to Li Daoxuan's words, Zhao Laosan recalled for a moment and then told him everything that had happened to Master Zhao.

"It was a few days in the first month of the lunar calendar. My father went to the Wang family to celebrate Old Master Wang's birthday. He returned the next afternoon, exhausted and in a mess. My brothers and I asked him what happened, but he just shook his head and refused to say. After returning home, he washed up and slept in bed all day."

"We thought the matter was over, but soon after, father insisted on going back to the old house to worship our ancestors. We brothers couldn't persuade him, so we had to go with him. But my eldest brother and I were both in charge of the family shop, so only my second brother accompanied father back. Who would have thought that after just such a trip back to the old house, father's temperament changed drastically. After taking the medicine, he would sleep for a long time during the day and wander around at night."

After hearing what Zhao Laosan said, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but think of the red aura above his head, and felt that the second son of the Zhao family might be involved. He speculated what had happened to Zhao Laoer and Mr. Zhao, which led to a disaster and a change of temperament and sleepwalking.

But he didn't know what he had come into contact with.

Go ask the second son of the Zhao family for something? From the second son's words and attitude when they first met, and the doubts he had about him at the moment, Li Daoxuan gave up the idea.

If you want to understand clearly, you may have to go directly to the Zhao family's old house.

Li Daoxuan told Zhao Laosan his thoughts, but also hid his speculation about Zhao Laoer.

No matter what, Zhao Laoer is the brother of Zhao Laosan. If he says that Zhao Laoer is a suspect and may be the murderer of Mr. Zhao, then when the Zhao brothers forgive each other, he will be the clown.

This kind of thing has happened too many times. Sometimes honesty and kindness do not necessarily lead to good results.

After hearing that Li Daoxuan wanted to go to the Zhao family's old house to investigate the situation, Zhao Laosan hesitated for a while, then looked at Master Zhao lying on the couch, and gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Only members of the Zhao family can go to the old house, but if the Taoist wants to go and take a look, that's fine. But my eldest brother is not at home these few days, and the key to the old house is not at home. It would not be too late for the Taoist to stay at home for two days and wait for my eldest brother to come back and get the key. " Zhao Laosan expressed his concerns and finally agreed to Li Daoxuan's request.

But he needs to talk to his elder brother about this.

"When will your eldest brother come back?" Li Daoxuan naturally heard the worry of the third son of the Zhao family.

"This may take two or three days." Zhao Laosan said with a worried look on his face.

After hearing this, Li Daoxuan stopped talking. He thought to himself that there might be something fishy about this matter, but he still nodded to Zhao Laosan and agreed with Zhao Laosan's statement: "I will follow your arrangement."

Li Daoxuan naturally didn't care about these things. He thought that it was all about the safety of Mr. Zhao.

If the Zhao family was willing to let him visit the old house, he would naturally do his best for the sake of the money.

If he wasn't allowed, there was no need for him to stay.

Anyway, he has the bag on his back and can go anywhere he wants.

The two were talking about Mr. Zhao when they heard a noise outside the house. A maid called out softly from outside the door: "Second Aunt, why are you here?"

"Oh, there's still someone who's picky? What are you saying? Can't I come and care about the health of the master? I'm the master's concubine after all, I can't visit the master like a thief." A clear and pleasant female voice came, and from the tone of the voice, you can tell that it's a mature woman. But there was a thorn in the words, which made the maid guarding the door not know what to do.

"Second Auntie, that's not what I meant."

"What do you mean by that? You look down on me, right?" The concubine was relentless and scolded the maid, leaving her speechless.

Finally, Zhao Laosan couldn't stand it anymore, so he went out of the room and said loudly: "Since the second concubine is here, she can come in to see. But the concubine is here to see father, why is she embarrassing a maid here?"

"Oh, the Second Young Master is really kind to women. Then I won't disturb your elegance."

"you!"

The two people outside were bickering, and Zhao Laosan was at a disadvantage. Li Daoxuan was curious about who was coming, when he saw the bead curtain of the bedroom being drawn open, and a beautiful woman in bright red clothes walked in.

She was wearing a festive red long gown embroidered with auspicious words, a plush waistcoat on her shoulders and a fox fur coat around her neck. Her white fingers were holding a handkerchief and her nails were neatly trimmed. Although her face showed some traces of time, she still had charm.

This woman has beautiful facial features, especially her peach blossom eyes, which are like bright lights in the night, attracting everyone's attention.

She walked slowly into the room, looking straight at Li Daoxuan with a look that was so meaningful that it made him feel a little embarrassed.

In his past and present lives, from childhood to adulthood, he had never been stared at like this by any woman. It was like a cat seeing a mouse or a moth seeing a flame. It really made people feel strange psychologically. After all, although he was only a child of ten years old in this life, he lived to be in his twenties in his previous life.

Li Daoxuan felt that he couldn't go on like this, so he coughed twice and returned the beautiful woman's attention: "Madam, have you seen enough?"

"Oh." The beautiful woman naturally withdrew her gaze upon hearing what Li Daoxuan said, put her handkerchief on her shoulder, and smiled. "I was startled when he came in just now. I wondered who was in the master's room. I didn't expect it to be a young man, and he was so handsome."

"Second concubine, he is the honored guest I brought back, please show some respect to him." When Zhao Laosan came in and heard the beautiful woman's words, he felt his anger rising. However, he was well-educated and knew that the second concubine was still an elder, so he could only grit his teeth and say it word by word. "If the concubine comes to see father, please look carefully and don't say anything out of line."

"Oh, okay. Who told me to be just a concubine?" The beautiful woman immediately acted pitiful, wiping her tears with a handkerchief. "If it weren't for the master's favor, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stay in this house. Now that the master is sick and I came to visit him, the third young master despised me. It's all my fault that I'm not lucky enough to give birth to a daughter and two sons for the Zhao family."

This beautiful woman started crying as soon as she said she would, and her crying looked pitiful, but no matter how Li Daoxuan looked at her, he felt that she was just pretending to be crying.

From the moment he came in, he secretly felt that this beautiful woman was not an ordinary person. Both her speech and tone sounded like a woman of high status.

Now seeing that Zhao Laosan had no way to deal with her, she was even more certain of this.

Living in the Zhao family, I have to stay away from this woman, Li Daoxuan thought to himself.

Zhao Laosan persuaded the beautiful woman with all his might. The beautiful woman stopped crying and sat beside Master Zhao, then watched Master Zhao take care of her attentively and tenderly. Her movements were extremely gentle, and if Li Daoxuan had not heard what she said just now, he would have thought she was a virtuous person.

He was about to leave here. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard the beautiful woman's sweet voice saying, "I think the young man looks like a Taoist monk. I heard that the Taoist's Xinglin technique is exquisite. I wonder if you can show it to me."

"." When Li Daoxuan heard this, he knew that the beautiful woman had bad intentions. Thinking that he was still in the Zhao family, he could only return to his seat and bite the bullet to feel the pulse of the beautiful woman.

Anyway, I am just a child of about ten years old at this time, so there is nothing to be shy about.

Asking her to stretch out her hand, Li Daoxuan pinched her slender white wrist to check it. He felt that her pulse was steady and healthier than that of a normal person.

Just as he was about to say something, he felt a slight itch between his palms. The beautiful woman's fingers were gently teasing his palms, which made him feel surprised.

"Young man, how is my illness?" the beautiful woman asked with a smile.

"Madam's pulse is steady and she is in good health. She should not have any serious illness. However, if you feel a little uncomfortable in your head, you may need to meditate for a few days." Li Daoxuan quickly withdrew his hand and said seriously to the beautiful woman.

Then he looked at Zhao Laosan and said that he was a little tired and wanted to find a place to rest.

So Zhao Laosan took him out of the room and walked towards the guest room.

On the way, Li Daoxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, still a little frightened.

I didn't expect that when I came to the Zhao family, there was actually a woman who smelted copper. It was really scary.
