After hearing this, Mrs. Liu's eyes drifted behind Cheng Guogong. Several officials and women, like Cheng Guogong, all leaned back.

There must be something unknown about a woman who can scare the Second Master Meng Daoming into being like this.

They are also afraid of being beaten by women.

An official quickly said, "We are just here to listen to music, hahaha..."

Mrs. Liu turned her head and walked towards the entrance of the alley with no expression on her face, followed closely by Mr. Cheng Guogong.

When those few figures were no longer visible, a laugh rang out, followed by everyone laughing.

"Hehe, they say that the Duke of the country is afraid of his own country. It's true."

"Yes, his legs were shaking just now, for fear that his wife would hit him."

"Haha, my voice is shaking too, and I'm pretending."

"Bai Chang is such a big man, with a silver head like a wax spear."

Several officials even hated iron for not becoming steel.

"This Lao Meng must be cleaned and cleaned tomorrow. He was so frightened by a woman."

"If you embarrass us men, you should rush forward and beat us if you dare."

"If he doesn't fight, he will definitely not be able to fight. If the rumors are true, then Mrs. Liu is the mother bug."

"What's the use of such a shrew? It's time to retire."

"He wants to divorce. Can the old master agree?"

…

Mrs. Liu got on the carriage, and Duke Cheng got on the horse.

Mrs. Liu opened the curtain and said coldly to Duke Cheng, "Meng Daoming, I won't do this next time."

After becoming the Duke of Guo, another chill ran down his spine.

He glanced at the carriage. He was angry at the shrewd woman, but also felt that she had let him off the hook today and didn't fight, so there was still something to be said for it...

When a group of carriages and horses arrived at the corner gate of Duke Cheng's mansion, the porter bowed and said, "My lord, please go to the study outside."

Cheng Guogong's buttocks started to hurt again.

He threw the rope to Meng Huai and hurried out to the study room.

Sitting in the outer study room were Old Guo Gong and Second Master Meng.

As soon as Cheng Guogong entered, he was slapped twice on the head by the old Duke.

"You bastard, such a big man still cares about food and fights, and he almost fell into a pit. Come here, ask for advice, and call the Cimo brothers and Zhao'an over. Let them see, it is against the ancestors.

What will happen if you go to the brothel for training?"

Duke Cheng Guo was so frightened that he knelt down, "Dad, please save some face for your son..."

Meng Xiang, the gatekeeper, came in and reported, "Sir, the eldest lady wants to see you."

The old man nodded and Meng Xiang invited Mrs. Liu in.

Ms. Liu knelt down and said, "Father, my father-in-law was invited back by his daughter-in-law and stopped at the edge of the cliff. Please forgive him this time for the sake of my daughter-in-law."

The old Duke said to Ms. Liu in a gentle voice, "My daughter-in-law is virtuous, but this treacherous son is careless. He has violated the precepts of his ancestors time and time again. He has been tricked once and has not long enough to remember."

Then he shouted sternly at Duke Cheng Guo, "Do you know that the prostitute named Qingxue has been bribed by that man, and they have set up a net for you to get into, and you really got in..."

Qingxue was bribed to trick her again?

Duke Cheng Guo's eyes bulged. He is most afraid of being deceived and being told that his brain is not working well. Do you think he is a fool?

He slapped his thigh with his big hand and cursed, "That bitch, watch how I deal with her."

The old Duke snorted coldly, "How can you deal with a prostitute? If you want to deal with it, you also need to deal with the people behind her. Humph, it's useless."

Duke Cheng Guo lowered his head in shame.

The old Duke looked at Mrs. Liu and said with satisfaction, "Having a virtuous daughter-in-law at home makes us old people less worried and can live for two more years."

Cheng Guogong was so frightened that he kowtowed several times again, "My father is so ashamed of his son that he will never dare to do it again. My son promises that he will never go to those places again, and that he will work hard as an official and protect his family and country..."

The old Duke scolded Duke Cheng a few more words before letting them leave.

Mrs. Liu strode toward the inner courtyard. She was suspicious. That prostitute was bribed by a political enemy? What a coincidence...

Duke Cheng Guo walked to the intersection between the inner courtyard and the study, thought for a while, and shamelessly followed Mr. Liu to the inner courtyard.

Meng Xiang came back and reported, "The old man, the second master, and the Duke of Guo followed the eldest lady to the inner courtyard."

The second master laughed and said, "Dad, if you sing well in this play, it is really possible for the elder brother and the elder sister-in-law to get along well."

The old man shook his head, "It's hard to change your temper after you develop it. Just take your time. Fortunately, I have a good and powerful wife who can keep an eye on him."

The second master said, "Although the eldest brother didn't control it this time, he still made progress..."

The old man said, "From now on when I'm gone, you have to respect your eldest sister-in-law and don't allow that traitor to make her angry. If Cimo and the others are disrespectful to Mrs. Liu, you have to say something."

"Yes, listen to dad."

"I will talk to the old woman tomorrow and change Xiu'er's surname to 'Meng'. She is the legitimate daughter of the Liu family, that is, the legitimate daughter of my Meng family."

Mrs. Liu and Duke Cheng Guo walked into the inner courtyard one after another.

Aunt Liu didn't expect that Duke Cheng Guo would also come with her, and she smiled broadly.

"My lord, madam, the food is ready and will be served immediately."

Mrs. Liu said, "I'm tired, so I'll take two light dishes to the east room. Prepare some good wine and food for the Duke of Guo, and invite him to drink in the hall."

She went into the house and changed into home clothes, then sat on the kang in the side room.

Cheng Guogong sat at the Eight Immortals table in the hall and did not dare to say much. The two rooms were separated by a soft curtain, so they could hear each other's movements.

After the food and wine were served, Duke Chengguo ate and drank enough and went to his bedroom, the West Room, to rest.

In the bedroom of the east room, Grandma Liu happily said to Mrs. Liu, "Today is not the day when the Duke of the country lives in the main courtyard. Why did he come back to live here?"

Ms. Liu snorted coldly, "Some men are just mean. However, he is still much better than a cow with a white face. He has good parents and family, and even if he wants to be shameless, his family will not allow him."

Mrs. Liu found a red gold hairpin with precious stones and a pair of red gold bracelets from her makeup box.

"Tomorrow I will go to the storehouse to find a piece of satin and give it to Mu Rong along with these two things."

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Murong is a smart person."

Mrs. Liu sighed, "She is also a poor person. That road is not what she wants, but she cannot go down it. Alas, Meng Daoming is a bastard. No woman around him has it easy."

Early the next morning, these things reached Jiang Yixi's ears intact. Guan Zhongfeed was a good person, and apart from confidentiality, she could not hide any obvious things from her.

After breakfast, she took Cuncun to Fu'an Hall to say hello, and everyone came.

The old lady smiled and said, "Xiu'er was officially changed to 'Meng Xiu', and she is the legitimate daughter of Daoming and Liu, our fifth granddaughter. The day after tomorrow, my husband will write her into the Meng family ancestral hall. Cimo's daughter-in-law and Yue Yatou are busy.

, I’ll set up some tables the day after tomorrow, and I’ll invite some handkerchiefs that I’ve played well with Xiu’er.”

After hearing this, everyone congratulated Mrs. Liu and Niu Xiu... no, it was Meng Xiu.

Mrs. Liu and Meng Xiu were so excited that they stood up and kowtowed to the old man and the old lady.
