Li Mansion.
Lord Li returned home from the banquet.
After sitting in the study and thinking for a long time, he called the butler to give instructions.
"I have two things to tell you.
First, you should send someone to the Jiang Mansion tomorrow morning to find out what the situation is. Tell me as soon as you get the news.
Secondly, be prepared to receive distinguished guests, and prepare some food, cakes, etc.
Remember, there must be no mistakes in the food, and it must be prepared by someone you trust."
"Master, who is coming to your house?"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. The identity of the distinguished guest is a secret. Just tell everyone that it's the child of a colleague of mine who's visiting."
The butler scratched his head and nodded in agreement.
As soon as the sun rises.
Nangong Jiu called Taoist Qingchen and several others and gave each of them a box of inner elixir.
"This is a birthday gift from my family in heaven.
I still have things to do, so I won't keep you here any longer. Go back to Lingyin Mountain and refine your skills. I'll contact you if there's anything.
Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing will also hurry up to finish the things we have and refine our inner elixir."
"Thank you, Jiujun!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Several people happily said goodbye to everyone in the general's mansion and left.
Nangong Yunxue looked at Nangong Jiu: "There are so many people accompanying me, you don't have to worry about it, just go and do what you want."
"Okay, we will be away from home all day today, so please be careful."
"rest assured!"
When Nangong Jiu brought Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing to Li's residence, it was already three quarters past noon.
After taking a walk around the backyard of the Li Mansion and seeing each of Mr. Li's five concubines, I had a general understanding of the situation in the Li Mansion.
Then he went to Chen's house again before returning to Li's house and finding a place to rest.
Nangong Jiu sneered.
"Lord Li is only a third-rank official, yet he has five concubines. No wonder Madam Li returned home in anger.
Lord Chen, a fifth-rank official, also had three concubines at home, each one more exquisite than the other.
The wife of the principal wife tried to persuade him, but was beaten by Master Chen. So she simply closed the door and pretended to ignore the incident.
Tell me, what kind of crap is this?
They are constantly entangled with the jealous women in the inner chambers, so how can they have the energy to focus on their work? "
"Your Majesty, why don't we go visit Madam Li's parents?"
"At this time, they should be returning home from court. Let's wait here. The show is about to begin."
After a stick of incense.
Lord Li hurried back home, and the housekeeper followed him to the study.
"Master, the three concubines in Lord Jiang's house were beaten to death with clubs because they killed their legitimate son and insulted his wife.
Moreover, Master Jiang even asked for the family rules himself..."
Lord Li's mind raced: "Next, it will probably be our Li Mansion's turn. Please send someone to bring the Madam back.
Our mansion doesn't have the troubles that the Jiang mansion has. As long as Madam comes back, nothing will happen."
The butler agreed and went to work quickly.
At this time, the doorman came to report: "Master, there is a little girl about two years old at the gate of the mansion. She is said to be the child of your colleague and is here to visit."
Lord Li was immediately panicked.
"Oh, this little ancestor, why is he here at this time?"
Holding up his clothes, he ran to the gate of the mansion.
Several concubines happened to be in the fish pond in the front yard admiring the fish. When they saw Lord Li running so fast, they all stopped out of curiosity.
"What is it that makes the master so anxious?"
"Look, the master is followed by the concierge. I guess someone is looking for him."
"Never mind him, let's go fish watching."
Several people turned around and chased to the fish pond.
On the other side, Lord Li ran to the gate of the mansion, and Nangong Jiu also greeted him first.
"Master Li Mingde, my name is Liu Jiuer. I'm the daughter of a colleague of yours, Uncle Li. I'm here to visit your house."
Li Mingde nodded quickly: "I understand!"
"Um?"
"Oh, no, it's Uncle Li who understands."
Li Mingde took Nangong Jiu to the front yard and attentively introduced the layout of the mansion as they walked.
"Uncle Li's house has been built for some time. There's nothing special about it. I'm sorry to bother you."
Oh, this old fox, is he trying to trick me into thinking my family is not well-off? If they are not well-off, why would they support so many women?
"How many children does Uncle Li have?"
"I have two sons and two daughters. My two daughters are married, and my two sons are also married and currently working in other places."
"Do you have grandchildren?"
Li Mingde wiped his forehead and said, "I got it."
After saying that, he led Nangong Jiu into the flower hall. The housekeeper, who had received the news earlier, had already placed tea and snacks in the flower hall.
Li Mingde pointed at Nangong Jiu and introduced her, "This is the daughter of one of my colleagues. She's here to visit us. You can just call her Miss Liu."
The housekeeper greeted her warmly, "Miss Liu, these are fresh pastries I just bought from Xu's Pastry Shop. Please try them!"
"Okay, thank you uncle!"
Nangong Jiu was not polite and took a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing this, Li Mingde smiled and said, "Go and prepare a table of food that the children like. Miss Liu will have her meal at the mansion."
As soon as the housekeeper left, he heard a quarrel coming straight to the flower hall.
"You splashed water on me, I'm going to tell the master and let him punish you."
"It was you who got me wet first, and you're the one complaining first. Go ahead and sue me, am I afraid of you?"
"Sue me if you want! Master, Master, you have to make the decision for me."
Several concubines came in, pulling and tugging, quarreling.
When they saw Nangong Jiu, they stopped fighting temporarily and looked at Nangong Jiu curiously.
