The warm scene outside the house was staged here, and Pei happened to bring the people in the house to greet him.

Pei called out "Marquis", helped Ming Tan up again, and said with a gentle smile: "I haven't seen you for five years. A Tan misses Marquis so much, and she cries like a little cat."

Ming Tingyuan touched Mingtan's head and laughed loudly: "I see that my wife has raised this little cat very well!"

Pei's smile deepened a little. She was about to respond to something when someone suddenly broke into the yard and shouted suddenly: "Dad!"

It's Ming Chu.

She was still wearing the red dress, and went up to her and hugged Mingtingyuan's arm, acting coquettishly as if no one was around: "Dad, you finally got back. You entered the palace and took A Fu and the others, and no one was going to practice whips with your daughter!"

Ming Chu's style is very useful for Mingting. After all, he is in the neighborhood and only has such a daughter, so he naturally looks at the little daughter. But now, he subconsciously looked at the little daughter in front of him.

His well-behaved and sensible little daughter stared at the arm that Ming Chu hugged, stunned for a moment, and then quickly lowered her eyelashes silently, as if she wanted to cover the loss in her eyes.

He felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. Seeing the sudden interruption of Pei's face, he was also inexplicably uncomfortable: "What are you doing? You won't be polite to see your mother!"

…?

Ming Chu was stunned.

"You can be as free as you go to Beijing. Every girl is a girl, and it's time to regain her temper. What kind of whip is practiced? Learn more rules with your mother and sister when you have time!"

Aunt Liu paused when she heard this at the gate of the yard.

After going back to her yard for rest, she wanted to bring Ming Chu to pay tribute to Pei. However, she did not want to go halfway. The servant said that the Marquis had returned to the mansion and was heading to Lanxin Courtyard. Ming Chu angrily accelerated his pace.

She was determined to chase after her, but Mingchu had learned three-legged cat kung fu for several years and walked much faster than ordinary women. When she arrived at Lanxinyuan, she happened to hear the marquis scolding.

She calmed down and stepped forward and bent her knees, "I have seen the Marquis and the Lady."

Ming Chu was immersed in the grievances of his father who actually scolded her. He was pulled by Aunt Liu, so he reluctantly made up for a blessing gift: "I have met my father and my mother."

"The family, there is no need to be too polite." Pei's wife can best show the gentleness and generosity of the mistress in this way. "Since the marquis has returned, don't stand here, go into the house to have a meal."-

This lunch was placed in the second room of Lanxinyuan's main room, and the dishes were prepared very richly. Stewed deer tendons, crystal elbows, lotus leaf ribs, hibiscus tofu... all meat and vegetables were all meat and vegetables.

Since entering the house, Aunt Liu stood respectfully on the side and added vegetables to Pei's soup. Pei asked her to rest, but she lowered her head and said carefully: "Serving the Marquis and the Lady is my duty."

Mingting was far from speaking, but he was obviously quite satisfied with her actions. Just now, he was thinking that he shouldn't have taken Ming Chu and his side to Yangxi Road, but was spoiled by Aunt Liu so much that he lost all the rules. Now thinking about it, Aunt Liu is actually quite a duty, mainly because of Ming Chu's temperament, and few people can control it.

Everyone was silent.

Even the maids in this room have been trained in the deep courtyard for many years. No one takes Aunt Liu's behavior seriously except Mingtingyuan.

Of course, Mingchu still felt depressed for her aunt.

After all, they used to be on Yangxi Road, and they had a family of three to eat together. Now they were fine and couldn't sit down and have to serve the woman who could not lay eggs as the mistress! Just thinking about this, Ming Chu felt that the delicious food in front of him had lost its flavor.

But at this time, Mingtan also picked up a piece of deer tendon for Mingtingyuan: "Dad, try it."

Not to mention how the deer tendon tasted, Ming Tingyuan was very satisfied with the movement of just pressing the sleeves, changing chopsticks when she was holding the deer tendons, and silently putting the deer tendons into the small plate next to the bowl without dipping the sauce.

He is a rough man with very limited literary talent and interest, but this does not prevent him from liking up literary and elegant literature. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have preferred the most talented Aunt Liu among the concubines.

Seeing that his daughter was so generous and elegant, he felt even more relieved. After tasting the deer tendon, he nodded and praised: "Well, it's soft, delicious, and delicious!"

"It's good if dad likes it." Ming Tan smiled and bent his eyes.

"How could I not like this? This deer tendon was made specifically for the Marquis." Pei also added a piece to Mingtingyuan. "The deer tendon was extremely difficult to soften. It was said that it had to be cooked in a few days ago, and it was simmered in broth. It had to be simmered in chicken soup that had been hung for a day. The broth and chicken soup used for simmering are also very particular. For this dish, A Tan has been watching carefully these days."

Mingtingyuan ate the piece that Pei had put on for noodles again, and felt very happy: "Atan has been well-behaved and filial since she was a child. Of course, thanks to his wife's careful upbringing over the years."

As he said that, he put a pearl piece for Mingtan and Pei: "Don't be alone in patronizing me, this dish is beautiful, you can try it too."

"Thank you, Dad."

"Thank you, Marquis."

Ming Chu: "..."

A genius believed that this petite lady who was not touching the spring water would make some deer tendons herself! She could tell the kitchen that this dish was cooked for her father. She said that it was a filial daughter who cooked, and that was really good at making her an egg!

The atmosphere on the table was surging. Some people were talking and laughing, while some people were blown away from the heat.

Just at this moment, Su Xin, who had not accompanied Ming Tan to Lanxinyuan, reported to the servants outside the door and suddenly entered the house quietly.

Su Xin took a small step to Mingtan, then pushed the green eel standing behind her, and while serving food, she attached herself to Mingtan's ear and whispered a few words.

Ming Chu kept staring at Ming Tan, and naturally he didn't miss this scene.

Seeing Su Xin whispering to Ming Tan at the bottom of the table, Ming Tan was still calm. She felt something was wrong and hurriedly sang out: "Fourth sister, someone is sending you a letter? Who gave it? It's a mysterious secret."

The few people on the table looked over according to their voices.

"It's nothing, it's sent by my cousin in the Bai family. I asked my cousin to do a small thing before. I thought there was a result, so she came to let me know." Ming Tan said lightly.

Ming Chu refused to give in: "Since the meal is coming, I guess the things that the cousin of the Bai family must do are very important. Why not read the letter and eat it? If she is anxious to reply, she might as well send someone to say it."

Mingtingyuan felt that Ming Chu's words were quite reasonable. He was in charge of military and political power in one area and was most afraid of delaying military information on weekdays.

Seeing Mingtan in a dilemma, he thought she was afraid that she would have lost the rules when reading. She thought she was self-righteous and said, "It's okay, the family doesn't pay attention to these things. You can answer any important things in time."

Ming Tan wanted to say something, but Ming Chu did not give her a chance to refuse, so she directly called the maid waiting to serve her: "I can't go there yet, the fourth sister is the most particular. How do you read the letter if you don't clean your hands?"

Soon, the veil and clear water were all delivered to me.

Mingtan seemed to have no other way, so he had to clean his hands and show his letter.

At the beginning, she looked as usual. But for some reason, she paused, her eyes paused, her lips pursed, her reading of the letter became faster and faster, and her face became paler.

After reading the whole letter, she read it again without giving up. However, after this time, her face was bloodless and shaking.

"What's wrong?" Mingtingyuan frowned.

Mingtan did not respond, Supa covered her lips, her eyes full of disbelief. In just a moment, her eyes turned red and tears rolled down.

Looking at this situation, everyone was panicked, and Ming Tingyuan even snatched the letter from her hand.

He read the ten lines at a glance. Although he had no idea what was found in the letter, he was not a fool. The letter clearly stated:

On the day of the Chinese New Year, the two people who knocked Mingtan into the water had already left Beijing. After many twists and turns, they found it difficult to find it after finding it after struggling to pursue it in Lizhou.

These two people are not thieves and stolen people whom they have never met, but a pair of brothers!

According to the brothers' explanation, it was already arranged to hit someone and get into the water. When they got the orders of the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom, Shang Yuanye secretly followed Liang Zixuan, obeyed his orders, and acted according to the opportunity.

That Rimingtan happened to be putting on the river lantern at the pier. If he was not there, Liang Zixuan would try every means to lead her to the waterside and sing all the scenes of the hero accidentally falling into the water to save the beauty!

"Bang-!" With the sound of slapping the table, the exquisite dishes on the table were shaking, Mingtingyuan was furious, "It's outrageous!"

Seeing this, Pei hurriedly took the letter and read it carefully.

After reading it, she was even more shocked than Mingtingyuan. The Emperor's Ming Tan fell into the water and the prince of the Liang family covered her up. She also felt that the Lingguo Duke's Mansion was very kind and kind, and she was a family that was easy to meet, but this matter was originally done by the Lingguo Duke's Mansion! This was really incredible!

"What's wrong with the fourth sister? What's the letter?" Seeing the three of them reacting like this, Ming Chu knew that something must have happened. She couldn't help but want to see the contents of the letter.

But Pei obviously couldn't give it to her. Pei's family has been in charge of many years and has done a lot of things. In addition to being shocked and angry, he quickly realized that there was nothing to do with the people around him now. The most important thing is to understand why this matter started and how to deal with it.

She stood up and said calmly: "I'll be here for lunch today, and it's all gone."

This is Lanxinyuan. Pei said that he would disperse, and he would have to disperse if he didn't want to disperse.

Ming Chu wanted to stay and watch the fun, but was blocked by Zhang's mother and invited him out respectfully and toughly.

Compared to Ming Chu, Shen Hua was very obedient, neither listening much nor asking much. But before leaving, she subconsciously glanced at the Supa in Ming Tan's hand-

Soon, there were only Mingtingyuan, Pei, and Mingtan in the house. Mingtan seemed to have been tense for a long time, and suddenly cried out when the door was closed.

When she cried, she was so sad that she was so sad that she was so sucking with the rain. I felt pity for her. Her eyes were red, her thin shoulders were shaking, and she was so weak that she seemed to be blown by the wind, which made people unable to say a little more serious words.

Mingting kept his hands behind his back, and his anger was pressing down again and again, for fear that he would scare Ming Tan as soon as he opened his mouth. After a while, he asked angrily: "What's going on? Why do I fall into the water? Why don't I know!"

Pei patted Mingtan's back lightly and comforted him, "Mr. Marquis, please calm down first."

Immediately afterwards, she told Mingtingyuan about the fall of Shangyuan.

It was revealed that Tan did not have any skin-related relationship with Prince Liang that day, and outsiders did not know that it was Ming Tan who fell into the water, so he took a little rest.

Mingtingyuan: "I was so crazy that the Duke's Mansion was planning such a despicable thing!"

This is also what Pei thought was wrong: "Realistically speaking, the two governments had already decided to have a marriage contract, so the Marquis could put it on the agenda when he returned to Beijing. It was really a bit unnecessary to design a rescue plan."

She paused and said, "Unless the Duke's Mansion believes that the Marquis's Marquis' return to the capital, this marriage may change."

Change, what happens? Bai's marriage was decided by his son during his lifetime. Everyone in the capital knew about this marriage. Her son was in a hurry to die and wanted to trick his daughter-in-law into entering the door to earn a chastity arch for their family? If he is dying, he dares to go into the water in the middle of winter, and then he will die under the water early to be considered pure!

Mingtingyuan said this, but suddenly he thought of something... Wait, he has not been in the capital in the past few years, and he has not known many things in time. Is this a big deal that cannot be covered by the Duke's Mansion? He must use the marriage to tie him to the same boat?

An official can get involved in the government affairs. Seeing Ming Tingyuan's face solemn and not knowing where he was, Ming Tan hurriedly choked and said, "Actually, my daughter knows, and knows why the Liang family is like this..."

She told her what she heard in the study of the Duke of Changguo Mansion.

"I have a beginning and end with my cousin, and I have given birth to a two-year-old boy?" After hearing this, the shock in Mingtingyuan and Pei were beyond words.

Mingtingyuan: "Why didn't you say such a big thing earlier?"

Mingtan lowered his eyes while crying, "... My daughter thought that this marriage was decided by her biological mother. I heard that their Liang family has some foundation in the Ministry of Personnel. Her daughter did not know the government affairs, but was afraid that if the marriage was ruined, it would affect her father's promotion and evaluation for transfer back to Beijing..."

"What kind of thing does the Liang family have? It can also affect my transfer and promotion!" Mingtingyuan was furious and even "I" jumped out.

"Dad, don't be angry."

Look, at this time, I was still worried that he would be angry. His daughter was so graceful, well-educated, well-educated, gentle and upright, and knew that the overall situation was the priority of filial piety. She was simply a model of a famous lady who could not even be found with a lantern. How could she allow the Liang family's unvirtuous and righteous son to be so cruel!
