It's almost midnight, and no one in the Ming family is sleeping peacefully.
There were so many people going to Baoling Temple today, so of course they couldn't all be detained in the government office.
The irrelevant people were released one by one.
But three members of the Ming family did not come back.
The second master, the fourth master, Ming Sheng.
The second master is the head of the eldest house, and the fourth master is the head of the second house. Now that the sixth master has been deposed, Ming Sheng is the only adult male left in Dongning besides them.
It was like there was no man in the family all of a sudden, and the Ming family was panicked from top to bottom.
Mingwei entered the main hall, Mrs. Ming and the others only had a slight smile on their faces and asked her to rest.
Mingwei gave the second lady a wink, and the two went to the next door to talk: "Is the second aunt worried about the second uncle?"
The second lady was in a low mood: "It's just your second uncle. Even your fourth uncle and fourth brother are left behind. I'm afraid..."
Mingwei understood. What the second lady was worried about was the impact of losing her man on the family, not the second master's personal safety.
She considered it carefully and said: "Auntie, I happened to be with Mr. Yang today and I know something..."
The second lady's eyes lit up and she grabbed her hand: "Xiaoqi! What do you know? If you can help us get through the crisis, my aunt will be grateful for your kindness for the rest of her life!"
Mingwei said: "Auntie, to tell you the truth, fourth uncle and fourth brother are not seriously injured and will be released home later. But second uncle..."
"How is your second uncle?"
Mingwei shook his head: "Maybe I won't be able to go home."
The second lady was startled when she heard this and did not move for a while.
After a long time, the second lady's eyes filled with tears: "My poor child!" Then she grabbed Mingwei and asked, "Is your third brother unable to end?"
If the second master is convicted, his children will have no chance of having an official career.
Mingwei was silent.
The second lady understood, she hid her face and cried twice, and couldn't help cursing: "I should have known he wanted to kill my child. I hate it because blood ties cannot be separated! I knew what kind of person he was when he did that to my eldest sister.
It’s heartless!”
Mingwei's eyes flashed and she asked in a low voice: "Second aunt, what happened to the eldest sister back then?"
At this time, the second lady had nothing to hide, and said to her: "When the eldest sister went to the palace for a banquet, the young master of the Li family saw him for some reason. The eldest sister saw that he was rude and scolded him. Who knew?
I was obsessed with him like that, and later he plotted against me and made me feel frivolous..."
When the second lady mentioned this, she gritted her teeth with hatred: "The young master of the Li family has a wife for a long time, but he wants to ask his eldest sister to be his concubine! He is dreaming! But there is a county king to support his family, but he can't. I can only
Your eldest sister is married far away...poor eldest sister!"
Ming Wei had already made a guess, but she didn't know who the person who was frivolous about her eldest sister was. At this moment, she sighed in her heart and asked, "Second uncle, don't you have any expression?"
The second lady sneered: "He is just a boneless person! Because the prince agreed, he actually thought about making the eldest sister his concubine. Then what kind of thing is the young master of the Li family? Even if he wants to marry, the eldest sister will not even look down on him.
he!"
For a mother, her child is the most precious. The eldest lady has suffered such a shame and humiliation, no wonder the second wife hates the second master so much.
After the second lady calmed down, Mingwei said slowly: "Second aunt, if I say I can save my second uncle, I can't do it. However, there is an opportunity now, and I may be able to save my third brother and my sixth brother. You...
…”
The second lady suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of hope: "Say! If you can save them, the second aunt will work for you in this life and the next life!"
Mingwei said tactfully: "I just have such an opportunity. I can't guarantee whether it will happen or not. I can't get involved in this matter. Auntie has to beg other people."
"If you have the chance, it will happen." How dare the second lady ask for too much, "Xiaoqi, how can you teach Auntie to fight for this opportunity?"
Mingwei sighed: "Aunt, can I let my second uncle go?"
The second lady was stunned for a moment.
"You must have noticed that the second uncle did something behind your back. The current crisis of the Ming family is that the things that the second uncle has done are exposed. This matter is too involved and will go to heaven. No one can save the second uncle.
Uncle, the only solution now is to make meritorious deeds and perhaps save the remaining people."
The second lady was stunned: "Is it so serious?"
Mingwei nodded: "Second aunt should discuss it with great aunt. As I expected, the eldest uncle and fifth uncle in the capital cannot escape their involvement. Even if they lose their positions, it is considered a great favor from the emperor."
The second lady trembled: "What if we can't make meritorious deeds?"
"The most serious consequence will be," Mingwei said softly, "the confiscation of the family and the annihilation of the clan."
The second lady fell down on the chair and was stunned.
"Think carefully, time is running out." Mingwei bowed to her and returned to Yu Fangyuan.
Duofu has sent it back.
Because he had orders, Ah Xuan personally escorted her back.
Knowing his identity, the Ming family temporarily put aside any distinction between inside and outside and allowed him to drive straight in.
"What's wrong with Duofu?" Seeing her face twisted and bleeding from all seven holes, Bing Xin and Su Jie were frightened.
Mingwei took the handkerchief, carefully wiped off the blood on Duofu's face, and asked them to prepare pen and paper, drew up a prescription, and said, "Tell someone to get some medicine."
The two girls stupidly took the prescription and thought to themselves, when did the young lady know the medical skills?
Mingwei, a medical practitioner, only slightly understands that this prescription is used to restrain evil spirits.
"Mom, were you frightened today?"
After listening to her question, Bing Xin hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, grandma is fine, those officers and soldiers did not disturb each other."
Mingwei nodded: "Duofu was injured today to protect me. Find two attentive girls to take good care of Duofu. Apply medicine and wipe her body every day. Don't be careless. She may be in coma for several days."
Su Jie agreed: "Bing Xin and I will take turns to keep an eye on them, so they won't dare to neglect them."
These two maids were stable and reliable, and Mingwei was relieved to leave Duofu to them.
She went back to the house to freshen up and change clothes, but did not go to bed immediately. She carried a lantern and went to the mourning hall alone.
Seeing a solitary lamp flickering from a distance, the old man in the mourning hall was almost frightened. It wasn't until she came closer that his heart dropped: "Miss Seventh, you still come to see the third lady at this late hour?"
Mingwei responded vaguely before going inside.
The old man said hurriedly: "Miss Qi, it's so late, you'd better come back tomorrow."
Mingwei turned to look at him.
The old man was afraid that she would misunderstand his lack of dedication, so he explained: "The fourth master came here during the day and said that he dreamed that the third master wanted to see the third lady... I am afraid that there is too much evil in the house and it will hurt your body."
Mingwei narrowed his eyes: "You said the fourth master came here during the day?"
"Yes! I felt so sad when I heard the fourth master cry. It seems that the third master really came back to life..."
Mingwei's face was expressionless.
"Although we are a family, there is a difference between yin and yang. Miss Qi, you are young and weak, so it is better not to get involved in yin..."
The old man was talking nonchalantly, Mingwei's mind had already drifted away.
There were some things that she didn't pay attention to before, but now she finally knew about them.
