The second master slowly turned the tea cup in his hand: "Xiaoqi didn't tell you, what happened when they went to see the censor?"
Mrs. Mingsan looked at him warily: "What do you mean?"
"What a filial child!" The second master said in admiration, but it made people's scalp numb. "She was afraid that you would be worried, so she didn't say a word. Everyone said before that you raised a idiot, and you bothered to educate her.
It’s useless. Now it seems that Xiaoqi has really lived up to the hardships you have endured for more than ten years.”
"Mingying!" The third lady shouted his name sternly, "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't play tricks on your heart!"
Although she saw through the second master's tricks, her toughness showed her inner panic.
The second master smiled, and the fine lines on his well-maintained face made him look more mature and steady.
The Ming family was born with good looks. Although he was not as handsome as the three or four, he was still handsome. When people first met him, they would only think of him as an upright gentleman.
"Look at you, why are you so anxious? Can I still tell you?"
The second master admired Mrs. Ming San's face that became brighter and brighter because of her anger, and secretly sighed that this face was really favored by God. For a person in her thirties, not only did her appearance not look discolored, but it actually had more charm than when she was young.
"Did you know that when Jiang Wenfeng inspected various prefectures this time, the Holy One issued another holy order?"
How could Mrs. Ming San not know? The fourth Mrs. Ming had just been here a few days ago.
Thinking of the fourth lady's words, her face turned pale: "Bo Linghou Mansion, Third Young Master Yang?"
The second master nodded: "Exactly."
"Did he see Xiao Qi?"
The second master looked at her: "Xiaoqi is born like you, but the outline of his eyebrows is like that of the third brother. Although he is not as bright and soft as you, he is more noble. The more noble and clean this person is, the easier it is to attract people. I believe you have
A very deep experience.”
Mrs. Mingsan's face was slightly distorted, then she closed her eyes and calmed down.
"What do you want me to do? Just say it!"
The second master smiled lightly: "Actually, you have promised this before, but for Xiao Qi's sake, you should be more attentive."
Mrs. Mingsan frowned: "The person you mentioned earlier is this Young Master Yang?"
The second master nodded: "Not bad."
"This is puzzling. Among those people before, which one did not hold great power? Although Mr. Yang is quite favored by the saints, the Bolinghou Mansion has long withdrawn from the center of power. What weight does he have that deserves your attention so much?"
She has a special status. Even if the second master has dirty thoughts, there are very few people who can see her, and there may not be one person in a year.
The second master smiled: "Do you think he is just an ordinary prince? Don't forget, he also has a job title, Imperial City Secretary."
"So what? He is so ridiculous, does the Holy Spirit really entrust him with such an important task?"
The second master shook his head: "The Imperial City Secretary is the eyes and ears of the Holy Sage. How could such an important position be given to someone casually? The Holy Sage asked him to come to Dongning with Jiang Wenfeng, and he was definitely not asking him to make excuses for fun."
"According to what you said, Mr. Yang is hiding something secretly?"
The second master smiled lightly and looked at her with that gentle and creepy look: "You need to find out about this."
Mrs. Mingsan gritted her teeth and held back her anger: "This is too ridiculous. How old is this Mr. Yang? I am old enough to be his mother. If you ask me to go... As long as I can bear it, he
You won’t be happy either, right?”
The second master smiled enigmatically: "Although you have a sharp mind, you still can't grasp the thoughts of men. Who doesn't have some dirty thoughts towards the beautiful and charming female elders? When you are a child, you love your mother, and when you grow up, you will have some dirty thoughts.
, to some extent it will be reflected on others... He has seen a lot of young and immature beauties like him in the capital, I'm afraid it will be more fresh this way."
Mrs. Mingsan endured it again and again, but finally she couldn't bear it anymore: "Dirty!"
"Hahahaha!" The second master stood up, "Men are such dirty things. It's been ten years, and you still can't see through them?"
He walked to the door and paused: "You and Xiao Qi look similar. If you do a good job, maybe he will be less interested in Xiao Qi. Otherwise, even if you can't rob him, there are thousands of ways
The method has caused us to suffer losses, so we have no choice but to swallow it."
The second master is gone.
The flickering candlelight reflected Mrs. Mingsan's face.
Soon, the door was pushed open again, and Mother Tong appeared there: "Madam."
Mrs. Mingsan quickly put away her thoughts and walked over quickly: "Mom, it's windy in the middle of the night, why are you here?"
Aunt Tong looked at her: "I'm worried about you."
Mrs. Mingsan smiled mockingly to herself: "What's there to worry about? We've been here for so many years? If you just bear with it, it will be over."
Aunt Tong was about to speak but stopped.
"Mommy, just tell me what you have to say. We have been dependent on each other for these years, and we are the closest people."
Aunt Tong then said: "My servant was standing outside just now. I heard what you and the second master said. Madam, we'd better go to Beijing as soon as possible. We can't keep this Ming family!"
Mrs. Mingsan sighed: "Why don't I know? If you just want to leave, you have to be willing to let them go."
Mother Tong looked distressed and held her hand and said: "As soon as the uncle's letter arrived, my wife used the excuse of the young lady's marriage to come to Beijing immediately. The young lady has recovered from her illness. Who knows if they will have any dirty thoughts again?"
.”
"What mama said is true." Mrs. Ming San whispered, "For Xiao Qi, I can't stay in the Ming family."
…
It was a quiet night, and the second master came out of Yu Fang Yuan and entered the corridor.
A lantern swayed from the other end.
The road is long and narrow, and there is no way to avoid it.
The second master stopped on the side of the road, and just as he put on a serious face, a surprised voice came to his ears: "Second uncle?"
The second master watched Mingwei's master and servant approaching. Duofu was still carrying a food box in his hand, so there was no need to guess where he was going.
"Sending food to Sixth Brother and Axiang?" he said calmly.
The girl under the night light smiled shyly, glanced at his face sheepishly, and said in a soft voice: "The sixth brother and the eighth sister have been punished, but I have not, and I feel very guilty. Second uncle, don't be angry, just this time,
I won’t dare give it away anymore…”
Just like a child who thinks he has done something bad and is worried about being scolded by his elders.
The second master couldn't help but think of her calm look when facing the snake during the day.
Maybe you just recovered from the illness and your reaction is still a little slow, so you forgot to be afraid?
Yes, after being stupid for more than ten years, it is inevitable that she is a little different from ordinary people. As for the rhetoric of serving Xuannv Empress... her soul is really with Xuannv Empress, so what? If you have not lived in the secular world, how can you understand the human heart?
The second master said warmly: "This will not happen again. Don't follow their nonsense in the future. Think about your mother. It's not easy for her to do it for you."
"yes."
"Go back." The second master gave in and warned her like an elder who cared about her. "Even though it's your own home, you have to go back early at night."
"I know, you should go to bed early."
Mingwei bowed his head and saluted, then passed by him.
When she reached the end of the alley and turned the corner, the shyness on her face disappeared immediately.
She looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, her eyes heavy.
Why did the second master come to Yu Fangyuan in the middle of the night?
