When Zhong Mingli walked back to Zhong Mansion, he was still a little confused.
Chen Yuxian watched him walk in absentmindedly, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? What did that man named Dong do to you?"
Zhong Mingli took a sip of tea and realized that the taste of the tea was different from usual.
The aroma of tea is refreshing and leaves a fragrance on your teeth and cheeks.
He is a tea lover and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!"
"I'm not asking you how your tea was!" Chen Yuxian glared at him and said, "I'm asking you, what did Dong do to you today? Did he slander you in front of Master Fang? Master Fang is the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Will this be detrimental to your career?"
Zhong Mingli suddenly thought that Mr. Fang also mentioned the name of Divine Doctor Sun tonight and asked: "Did Divine Doctor Sun give this tea to Ning'er?"
Not only that, Mr. Fang mentioned Tang Ning a lot tonight.
That night in Fang Mansion, apart from the poem Xiaoyi composed, something must have happened that he didn't know about.
And it seems that Doctor Sun is not just a doctor with superb medical skills as he thought.
"Zhong Mingli!" Chen Yuxian frowned, looked at him and asked, "Are you listening to me?"
Zhong Mingli came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "No, madam, don't worry, just listen to me..."
After a while, Chen Yuxian looked at him and said uncertainly: "You said Master Chen was very enthusiastic about you, left Governor Dong alone, chatted with you for half an hour, and planned to introduce you to Jingdong Road Ti Xing in a few days?
"
Zhong Mingli nodded.
Chen Yuxian stopped talking. She looked at Zhong Mingli and tears fell from her eyes.
Zhong Mingli was shocked, held her hand and said hurriedly: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Yuxian looked up at him and said in a choked voice: "I know you don't want me to worry. You keep everything in your heart. People with the surname Dong have to spend money. How could it not be difficult for you? Mr. Fang and you are strangers, so what?
I will be so eager for you..."
Zhong Mingli was a little dumbfounded. He wiped away the tears on her face and said, "Madam, I really didn't lie to you this time..."
"It's now, and you still haven't told me the truth?"
"Madam, everything my husband said is true..."
"real?"
"Absolutely true!"
…
After repeated confirmation, Chen Yuxian finally accepted the fact, wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, raised his head, and asked doubtfully: "But why does Mr. Fang treat you like this? You two didn't know each other before. There is no reason for him to be so eager to you..."
"This is what I find strange." Zhong Mingli shook his head and said, "I suspect that something else happened in Fang Mansion that day."
"Didn't you just say that Mr. Fang knows Divine Doctor Sun?" Chen Yuxian looked at him and said, "The tea you just drank was given to Ning'er by Divine Doctor Sun. I think the key to this matter is Divine Doctor Sun and Ning'er.
He must know something."
If he didn't figure this out, Zhong Mingli might not be able to sleep today. He thought about it and said, "I'll ask him."
Chen Yuxian was also full of doubts and said, "I'll go with you."
When the two walked out of the room, she paused, looked at Zhong Mingli, and suddenly asked: "You just said you didn't lie to me this time?"
Zhong Mingli nodded and said, "I really didn't lie to you this time."
Chen Yuxian frowned: "So you have been deceived before?"
"I……"
"Last time you said you were going to discuss tax matters with County Magistrate Wang, and you smelled like a woman when you came back. Did you go to a brothel?"
"That's incense. You know, Wang County Cheng likes incense..."
"That's the last time. You said you would come back at midnight, but it was almost late when you got home. What did you do at that hour..."
"..."
…
In Tangning's room.
When Zhong Yi was adding firewood to the stove just now, he accidentally got a wooden thorn stuck in his hand.
Tang Ning took a needle in her hand, sterilized it over the fire, and then helped her pick out the wood thorns under the lamp.
He first opened the wound a little, raised his head and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Zhong Yi frowned slightly, with a look of pain on his face, and nodded: "It hurts."
"Be patient for a while and you'll be fine."
Tangning used the tip of a needle to pick out the wooden thorn, and Zhong Yi couldn't help but take a breath.
"It's bleeding..." Tangning put down the needle and said, "It's okay, I'll go find a handkerchief. It'll be fine in a while..."
At the door of the room, Chen Yuxian grabbed Zhong Mingli's sleeve and left quickly.
Zhong Mingli threw her hand away and said angrily: "This bastard!"
"If there's anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Chen Yuxian pulled Zhong Mingli back into the room, looked at him, with a slightly red face, and said, "Their marriage must be decided within a month!"
Although the two have already signed a marriage contract, they are not considered a real couple until the etiquette is completed. The step of going to the wedding hall is indispensable.
If Yi'er's belly bulges before the formal marriage ceremony, the Zhong family will become a joke in Lingzhou City.
The anger on Zhong Mingli's face was still there, and he kept saying: "You bastard, you bastard..."
Chen Yuxian looked at him and said, "It seems that you were not..."
Zhong Mingli blushed, "Madam, let's not talk about the past anymore..."
Chen Yuxian frowned, "That's not what you said back then. You said back then that you would always remember..."
"Have it?"
"Okay, you really forgot again!"
…
Tangning had just gotten up in the morning when she was blocked by Zhong Mingli.
My father-in-law didn't look very good, and his eyes looked at him a little unfriendly.
Tangning didn't talk to him very much on weekdays, so she was sure that she hadn't offended him. Could it be that she bumped into him and rubbed his mother-in-law's shoulders two days ago, which made him feel that he had a bad image, and that made him dissatisfied with her?
However, Zhong Mingli only asked him some things, mostly about Dr. Sun.
Tang Ning's knowledge of Divine Doctor Sun was limited. She only knew that he had a good background. The head of the Fang family was also polite to him and told Zhong Mingli all this.
In addition, during breakfast, the mother-in-law took Zhong Yi and whispered a few words. Zhong Yi's face turned red and she ran away without eating.
After that, the way Zhong Mingli looked at him became normal inexplicably.
But it was the pity and regret on his mother-in-law's face that made him puzzled again...
Today is really a strange day.
After dinner, he walked out of the Zhong Mansion as usual.
An agent named Peng Chen was also waiting outside as usual.
As Tangning's temporary bodyguard, he had already figured out his living habits.
Tang Ning always had the idea of letting him compete with Tang Yaoyao. She wondered how far Tang Yaoyao's long legs could kick this cold-faced detective away.
There was still no news about the little beggar, and the old beggar had a new injury on his face. Tangning was slightly disappointed. As she walked back, she passed by a high gate somewhere and heard the tender voice of a child in her ears.
"Only pigs get so fat!"
"Don't call me Fang Xinyue, call me Fang Xinzhu!"
"Fangxinzhu, Fangxinzhu! Just know how to eat Fangxinzhu!"
…
The chubby little girl was pushed by several children. She bit her lip and lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, as she lowered her head and walked forward.
Several children around her age pointed at her back and laughed.
She walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped and looked at a figure in front of her.
She was stunned, wiped away her tears, and subconsciously protected one of her sleeves, which contained all her delicious food.
Tangning looked at her and explained, "I'm full today..."
Her hands still didn't let go of the cuffs.
Seeing the little girl covering her sleeves protectively, two black lines appeared on Tangning's forehead.
He couldn't understand her behavior. Did he look like someone who would trick children into eating?
The little girl wiped her tears, walked away from him, stuffed something unknown into her mouth, and continued to move forward while crying.
Tangning followed behind and asked curiously, "Why are they bullying you?"
The little girl choked and said, "They said I was fat and wouldn't play with me."
Tangning walked beside her and said, "What's wrong with Fatty? Fatty doesn't even eat their rice!"
"They said I was a pig."
"If they scold you, just scold them back."
"They also beat me."
"Then you call back..."
"I can't beat him."
"..."
Tang Ning felt that this little girl might not have a correct understanding of herself.
Her weight advantage lies here. Those little guys who are as skinny as straw and fall over when blown away, and who look like they don't eat well and are malnourished, will they be her opponents?
Her size, among her peers, is not to mention absolutely invincible, but she is definitely one of those who has no rival in the world...
People cannot be blindly arrogant, but they cannot blindly feel inferior. It is important to recognize yourself.
The little girl treated him to a lot of good food, but it was not his style to repay a favor. Tangning felt that it was his responsibility and obligation to help her get to know herself again.
