The little girl was mischievous and copied her mother's words word for word. The Duke was not only ecstatic but also had a lot of imagination.

Jumping up and down with joy.

Specifically, she went to court to find her ex-husband and made things difficult for him, which made her even more excited.

As usual, I greeted my ex-husband that day. After the man came back from court, he took drastic measures and walked very fast.

Leng Siqian, with his head drooped like a defeated rooster, couldn't figure out the cause and effect.

He was still thinking slowly, wondering if one day he would be so blind as to accidentally offend the powerful Duke, who was a member of the royal family.

Ignore the seemingly enthusiastic greetings from colleagues who seem to be well-intentioned but are actually just watching the fun.

Leng Siqian, with a bitter face, really felt that he had not had a single easy day since his divorce.

Family affairs are not going well and work is complicated.

I don’t know why there has been so much trouble in the Ministry of Personnel these past two days.

His duties as a Langzhong in the Ministry of Personnel were to examine and verify the qualifications and files of civil servants and to assist in the promotion of officials from all over the country.

I don’t know what’s going on with the higher-ups these days. They’re actually demanding a review of the qualifications and files of officials from past years.

All of them, over the years, as the official in charge of this area, Leng Siqian's eyes were dark blue and he looked haggard.

It used to be somewhat upright, but now it looks like a wilted and shriveled old vegetable stem, so dry that it is unbearable to look at.

Lao Caibangzi returned home, and before he could even sit down, the housekeeper came rushing to report, fearing that he would not be able to catch him.

There was nothing else going on in the mansion except that the fourth daughter of the family was getting married, and she was marrying into the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

After getting married, she will be the main wife or the concubine. It will not look good if the dowry is too little.

"I am really undecided about the master's marriage. What do you think?"

The old housekeeper has lost so much hair these days that I don’t know how many of them have turned white.

Only when you don’t manage a household do you know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.

In the past, the reception and sending off of guests in the back house were all arranged in an orderly manner at the mistress's command.

Now that the mistress is gone, she has left behind such a huge mess.

The master has no plans to marry a new mistress for the time being, and he can't let a concubine be in charge of the harem, so the old housekeeper has no choice but to step up.

He and Leng Siqian behind the table looked at each other in silence, with tears in their eyes.

Leng Siqian never understood his wife's difficulties before, but he was the one who suffered the most, and now he has suffered enough.

The old man missed his wife's kindness more and more.

The official had no time to deal with the mess of life. Overwhelmed, he closed his eyes and sighed.

It was like a compromise with some stubbornness, and then the old butler saw the master slowly stand up.

The tone sounded like the helplessness of making some kind of magnanimous concession.

"I don't know if Madam has thought it through. Forget it, just consider it as a way for her to give way. After all, we have been married for many years, so what's wrong with giving in to her?"

After a short period of arguing, the old butler arched his back even deeper.

“…”

The master still has the same big face as before!

After a while, the old butler stared at Leng Siqian, who had left his seat and stood with his hands behind his back with his back to him, and sighed sincerely.

Happy spring rain, last night there was lingering rain, today the weather is sunny and clear.

The sky outside the pavilion was as clear and transparent as if it had been washed by water.

The beautiful lady was sitting in the pavilion, lost in thought for a long time in front of the chessboard. She was wearing a moon-white dress, with the lake and mountains behind her.

The beauty is picturesque against the backdrop of the scenery.

The man opposite seemed to be thinking seriously about the chess game on the board, but in fact it was not difficult to see that all his thoughts were focused on the other side.

On the beautiful woman with a frown in deep thought.

I looked at the Duke for a long time and could never get enough of looking at him.

Unable to conceal his burning gaze, the beautiful woman with her brows lowered could not see how indulgent he was now.

My sight gradually became fixated on that person, whose eyebrows were like emerald feathers, skin was as white as snow, and her sweet smile was a beauty worth a thousand gold.

Perhaps the man's infatuated gaze was too intense, and the beautiful woman who was deep in thought with her brows furrowed on the other side of the chessboard slowly raised her head.

Yu'er raised her eyelids and looked at Zheng Peizhi, who had his eyes on her hands.

Following his gaze, Yu'er lowered her eyelashes and looked at her hands.

In the sunshine, her slender hands hold the chess pieces.

The jade-white skin wrapped around the crystal clear beauty bones, the fingers were slender, white and translucent, as if carved from top-grade white jade.

If you look closely, you will find that it is full of inexplicable charm, and it is so pure that it becomes gorgeous.

I originally felt the lady's eyelashes trembling.

Without thinking too much, he subconsciously avoided her gaze, but it happened to fall on the lady's slightly raised hand.

The useless Duke was stunned. When he came to his senses, he felt embarrassed in front of the beautiful lady.

The man coughed twice. Yu'er looked at him in a daze, his eyes drifting around like a fool, not knowing where to put them.

Just about to make a joke.

Mrs. Hao, who was guarding outside the pavilion, withdrew her gaze with satisfaction.

The happiness here didn't last long, when a little maid came running towards the pavilion in a hurry.

Before Mrs. Hao could scold the little girl for her haste, she heard her whispering that her mistress's ex-husband had come to visit.

Mrs. Hao’s first reaction.

Could it be that he heard the news somewhere and came here to cause trouble?

Although she was muttering to herself, Mrs. Hao did not show any emotion as she quickly entered the pavilion and bent down to whisper in her master's ear.

When Yu'er heard this, she realized that her ex-husband, who was thought to be dead, had actually opened the coffin and ran to her house.

Mrs. Mei was very surprised, considering that the two had not had any contact since signing the divorce agreement.

She thought they had a tacit understanding and reduced their contact.

Who would have thought that this tacit understanding would be unilaterally interrupted by Leng Siqian.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zheng Peizhi, who had put down his chess piece and was completely unaware of his enemy's visit, waiting in a friendly manner.

Madam Mei felt guilty for a moment, and the smiling Duke seemed to see the hesitation in Madam Mei's eyes and joked with her.

"Madam, you have some personal matters to attend to. Otherwise, I will take my leave first."

The Duke, with a smile on his face, seems magnanimous. On the surface, he appears gentle and considerate, and knows how to act.

In fact, I didn't want to leave at all, I was just pretending.

He wanted to ask his wife in detail what she was doing, who she was meeting, and what she couldn't tell anyone, especially him.

Yu'er didn't want him to leave. As expected, her ex-husband was still blocking the main gate.

He had run into someone head-on. Yu'er struggled and finally had to tell the truth.

"It's nothing special, just an old friend's sudden visit. How about Zheng~"

Before the beautiful lady finished speaking, the man on the other side hurriedly responded.

"Just call me Pei Zhi."

Zheng Peizhi looked straight at him without dodging.

"Zheng believes that his relationship with Madam is more than just a friendship. Madam knows what I'm thinking. Please consider this as fulfilling my wish, okay?"

Yu'er pursed her lips, and her lips, which were full of vitality and blood, were bright red and beautiful.

She didn't shy away, but smiled, stretched out her hand, and turned sideways towards the outside of the pavilion to invite him in.

"Then I'll have to ask Pei Zhi to wait in the flower hall for a while. I've welcomed an old guest. Would you like to have lunch together at noon?"

Zheng Peizhi naturally responded to everything.
