"My Lord, why are you here today?"
The woman pulled the old man to sit on the lounge chair in the yard.
Then she stretched out her delicate hands, held the old man's head and placed it on her knees, massaging his head carefully.
"But the Marquis's wife has made you angry again?"
"For the sake of the Marquis's residence, you're running around every day. It's not easy."
"Madam, you are such a fool. You are already so old, but you don't know how to care for the Marquis. You just keep making him angry."
The old man lay in the woman's arms, his eyes closed peacefully, and said slowly:
"It's a matter of the court, but it has nothing to do with her."
Recently, rumors of appointing a crown prince have been heard again in the court, and it is still said with certainty that the emperor wants to appoint the third prince as the crown prince.
But in the early days, he always placed his hopes on the eldest prince.
Your Majesty, if you do this, all your previous efforts will be in vain.
There were also rumors circulating on the streets that the Hu family was plotting against Rong Xuqing.
Those court officials who were on good terms with Rong Baichuan were even more sarcastic towards him from time to time.
Every time he attended the morning court, he felt extremely annoyed.
"Things in the court are changing rapidly. My Lord, just take things as they come and don't take them to heart, lest you harm your health."
"The day after tomorrow will be the day for the results to be announced. Once Master Shihan becomes the top scorer, it will be too late for those people to curry favor with you."
The woman's gentle guidance.
The old man felt very relieved after hearing this.
He opened his eyes and looked into the woman's affectionate eyes, "You are so considerate, Mei Niang."
"Unlike those people at home, who only know how to have fun and none of them are worry-free."
"I thought Mrs. Hu was smart, but I never thought she was so clueless! She actually let someone expose her!"
The old man knew everything they had done in the past.
As long as it doesn't damage the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, he will turn a blind eye.
This time, the incident became known to everyone, causing him to suffer loss of face.
Fortunately, Mrs. Hu gave him a good grandson.
As long as Rong Shihan passes the imperial examination and becomes the prince's tutor.
The frustration you feel during this period will be replaced by compliments in the future.
Mei Niang's eyes flashed when she heard this.
"I've also heard the rumors in Kyoto these past few days. The Second Madam is also doing this for Miss Huanyao."
"Everyone knows that Miss Huanyao is in love with the eldest prince, but the eldest prince has his eyes on Rong Xuqing. That's why they resorted to this desperate measure. Please don't blame them, my Lord."
"Let's not talk about them anymore." The old man sat up and held Mei Niang in his arms. "You haven't been here for a long time. Do you miss me?"
As he said that, he kissed her on the face.
Mei Niang smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, I think about it all the time. I'm afraid that the Marquis will not come to see Mei Niang because of the Marquis' wife."
She hit the old man's chest coquettishly.
The old man was so tempted that he put his hand into her clothes impatiently.
"Don't... go into the house."
After groaning for half a minute, the tightly closed door was opened.
"My Lord, I will fetch you some water."
Mei Niang came out with an unconcealable look of disgust on her face.
Every time I served him, it took him a long time to stand up, and he would fall down in a few seconds.
What a waste of effort!
And pretend to be comfortable!
Just as she reached the well, she heard a knock on the door.
Mei Niang went over to open the door and was stunned.
"Sister Li, is there something wrong?"
Outside the door stood a woman holding a large cloth bag.
Sister Li smiled and said, "Mrs. Mei, thank you for helping my daughter embroider her wedding veil a few days ago. She is returning home today and has brought some gifts. I'll bring some over for you."
"No need, Sister Li, it's just a small matter, no need."
"How can that be possible..." Sister Li said as she opened the door and walked in.
"These fruits are all grown by her husband's family. They are very fresh... Where should I put them for you? Put them in the house..."
Sister Li went into the house on her own.
"No, no, I can take it into the house myself..." Mei Niang tried to stop him in a panic.
"It's only two steps away. I can just carry it in. You're so delicate, how can you lift something heavy?"
Mei Niang moved into this alley three years ago.
She had no children, was single, and had received education.
Therefore, everyone thought that she was the wife of a wealthy family that had fallen on hard times, and they took good care of her.
With a creaky sound, Mei Niang didn't stop her as Sister Li had already opened the door.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, she breathed a sigh of relief.
When the Marquis saw someone coming, he must have gone out through the small door at the back.
Sister Li put down her things, chatted for a few minutes and then left.
After closing the door, Mei Niang was about to fetch water again when the door was knocked again.
"Here I come."
Opening the door again, Mei Niang asked with a sweet smile, "Why are you here?"
"What? Didn't you ask me to come here?"
Rong Qi Wang rushed open the door anxiously, hugged Mei Niang into his arms, and closed the door behind him.
"We just met yesterday, and you're here to see me again today. You're really flirty..."
As he spoke, his lips moved around her neck and his hand reached inside dishonestly.
"No..." Mei Niang pushed him and asked doubtfully, "I didn't call you?"
"Who cares! I pushed Hua Niang from Yixianglou here!"
Rong Qi Wang impatiently hugged Mei Niang and explored her body as he walked into the house.
Mei Niang couldn't help but let out a sweet laugh that made people's whole body numb.
The sound of panting and panting was heard again in the house.
The door was not closed this time, and the two little guys lying on the wall could hear it clearly.
"Why did Second Uncle bite that aunt? He was breathing so loudly. What kind of exercise were they doing that made them tired so easily?"
Rong Yuanyou scratched his head, his eyes filled with big question marks.
