The next day, Minglan had a fever and fell ill all of a sudden. Mrs. Sheng quickly asked a doctor to help her get some medicine. She knew in her heart that this girl was heartbroken. She was overly worried for a while, which led to the invasion of external evils.

, and then he fell ill.

It just so happened that Sheng Changwu, the grandson of the eldest grandpa of Youyang's hometown, was also getting married. The eldest lady was the closest to Mrs. Sheng and often thought about her, so she wanted to go back to visit and pay homage to the Sheng family's ancestral temple, and by the way, she brought Minglan with her.

, you can let her relax and forget about this relationship.

Li Zhan thought that the old lady's journey back to her hometown was not peaceful this time, and originally wanted to go back with her. However, Hua Lan was pregnant and it was difficult for him to travel far. Moreover, he was now the censor Zhongcheng, although he often took leave during this period.

, but after all, he was a high official in the imperial court and could not leave the capital easily. He could only transfer a few guards who had been trained by him in the mansion to protect Old Mrs. Sheng's safety on the way.

Li Zhan stood on the pier and saw off Mrs. Sheng and her group. He watched Mrs. Fang greet the boat next to her with a greeting card, hoping to take care of each other on the way.

Most of these boats are wealthy businessmen doing business, and they have many guards and servants, who happen to be traveling with the Sheng family's boat.

Li Zhan's face changed and became extremely ugly. With anger in his eyes, he stared at the people on a boat not far away.

Qi Heng actually didn't give up, and he still dared to come to provoke the Sheng family. He threatened that if Minglan didn't come out and answer the question, he would shamelessly follow you to Youyang's hometown.

Qi Heng looked at Ming Lan on the opposite boat with a smile on his face and said warmly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely convince your parents. Don't worry, you can go back to your hometown in Youyang. When you return to Bianjing, I will ask your mother to go to Sheng Mansion to propose marriage!"

Minglan was shocked. This was in public. If she was recognized by others, she and the daughter of the Sheng family would not be friends, fearing that their good reputation would be ruined, so they quickly distanced themselves.

"Minglan has joined brother Yuanruo, and we are now brothers and sisters. Please respect yourself, brother Yuanruo, and stop talking such nonsense!"

Qi Heng was still going to say something, but Li Zhan couldn't help but get angry. He jumped onto the bow of the ship more than ten feet away, stopped Minglan behind him, nodded to her, and said

.

"You go back to the cabin, I will take care of these things!"

Minglan glanced at Li Zhan, who was as cold as ice, and did not dare to disobey. She glanced at Qi Heng for the last time, turned and left the bow of the boat. After all, she was a woman and could not be compared with men. She needed to protect her reputation and should not be exposed to the public.

Since she has an eldest brother-in-law who is willing to make the decision for her, it is naturally great.

Minglan felt a warm feeling in her heart. For the first time, she felt the love and care of her family except her grandmother. With support in her heart, she returned to the cabin with light steps and left the matter to Li Zhan with confidence.

Li Zhan's starry eyes were sharp and he stared at Qi Heng. A murderous aura made Qi Heng take two steps back in fear and looked at Li Zhan with a stern look.

Qi Heng's original confidence in Ming Lan had long since disappeared. Facing Li Zhan, who was only a few years older than him, he was at a loss and was very afraid of Li Zhan.

A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Li Zhan's mouth, his white teeth slightly opened, and he threatened sternly.

"Qi Yuanruo, are you because I, Li, am easy to bully? You have been pestering my sister-in-law over and over again. Princess Pingning even humiliated my grandmother in front of me. You really think that Li is a vegetarian!"

Qi Heng's face turned pale and his color changed instantly. He knew Li Zhan's energy. You should know that Li Zhan is a third-rank official. Although he is now somewhat ostracized by the two parties of King Yong and King Yan, it seems that he is still firmly in the court.

, which does not affect the respect he receives from officials at all, you can know that this is a terrible person, not an enemy that the Duke of Qi can offend at will.

Qi Heng felt anxious and quickly took two steps forward. With a hint of anxiety, he explained.

"Master Li, I misunderstood. My mother and I definitely didn't mean this. I just admire sister Minglan and want to marry her!"

The cold light in Li Zhan's eyes became even more intense, and the anger in his heart became even more intense. He sneered, looked at Qi Heng, who looked like a pretty boy, and said in a cold voice.

"Who do you think you are? If you weren't born in the Duke's Palace of Qi, you can't pick things up with your hands or carry them on your shoulders. You're just qualified to be a husband in a fence! You actually want to marry Minglan. I and Shengfu

You won’t even agree, so you’d better give up. If you dare to pester the Sheng Mansion again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

No matter how good-tempered Qi Heng was, he had never been so insulted before. His face turned pale with anger and his body trembled. Not wanting to see his master being humiliated, the servants around him quickly stood up and spoke nonsense to Li Zhan.

"Master Li, you really think too highly of yourself. How dare you threaten my young father-in-law like this?"

Li Zhan glanced at the boy in the center, sneered in his heart, and was too lazy to pay attention to him. His current identity would be nothing more than his identity if he didn't struggle with this boy. Moreover, this is just a person who is about to die.

In the fight between Qi Heng and Princess Ning, he deserved to be beaten to death as a warning to the monkeys.

Li Zhan glanced at the silent Qi Heng again, jumped back to the dock, and said a harsh word.

"If you dare to entangle me today, I will do my best to fight to the death with the Duke of Qi!"

Qi Heng sighed. After all, he did not dare to fight to the death with Li Zhan. He watched helplessly as the Sheng family's boat left along the waterway. He could only watch Minglan leave Bianjing with a depressed and aggrieved look on his face.

Buwei looked at the unhappy young master and quickly advised him.

"Young master, there is no need to be sad. As long as you insist, the princess will definitely compromise!"

When Qi Heng heard this, he became excited again. Indeed, there are no parents in the world who can control their children. As long as he persists, he will definitely be able to marry Minglan as he wishes.

Li Zhan heard the words of the boy not far away and sneered in his heart. He wanted to die. No wonder he was beaten to death by Princess Pingning in front of Qi Heng.

Li Zhan kept watching Qi Heng go ashore and leave. He did not follow the Sheng family shamelessly. He knew in his heart that his threat had worked and shocked Qi Heng, making him have scruples and not dare to mess around. Only then did he return with peace of mind.

Mansion.

After Qi Heng returned home, Princess Pingning had learned about today's conflict between Qi Heng and Li Zhan. Although she was angry that Li Zhan did not give Qi Duke any face and threatened him, she did not dare to make enemies at will and could only warn Qi Heng.

Don't go to and from Hesheng Mansion.

The Duke of Qi seems to have a prominent family background, but his family background has long since declined. The Duke of Qi is just a middle-aged man, not outstanding in civil or military affairs. He only has the title of a casual official and is not even qualified to go to court. That is, there is only one left.
