Chapter 110: The ignorant little girl
He lost face because of the incident at Dayun Temple. Not only was he punished by his aunt, but it was also spread to everyone... Now even if you pull a dog from the street and ask it, it will probably know that he was beaten by that bitch Chang Suining!
Even after being recuperated at home for two months, he still couldn't get over the anger.
When he was young, his aunt had not yet come to power. Although the Ming family was not prominent, he had a very ambitious cousin who was the prince, so no one dared to make things difficult for their Ming family.
When he was a little older and could remember things clearly, his aunt had already ascended to the supreme throne. From then on, the status of the Ming family in the capital and even in the entire Dasheng was unmatched. As the eldest son of the Ming family, he could get whatever he wanted.
Therefore, he had never been humiliated like this since he was twenty years old! Not to mention that after being humiliated, he was even confined to his home in such a miserable way!
And now that he was still under house arrest, she had held a grand apprenticeship banquet, and even held it so ostentatiously, trying to gain fame! Why was he being punished at home while the little bitch who had offended him was so proud and proud?
After this incident, I'm afraid others will not know how to laugh at him... How can he hold his head up in the capital from now on? ! It's fine if he didn't know about this today, but now that he knows it, if he can still watch her enjoy the glory, he is not Ming Jin!
"My dear...my dear, where are you going?"
The servant saw him walking away, and hurriedly ran after him, reminding him anxiously, "My dear, you can't leave the house yet!"
Ming Jin suddenly stopped, raised his hand and slapped the boy in the face: "Who do you think you are? How dare you control this prince!"
The servant knelt down in panic: "I dare not, I am just following orders, I am afraid that the prince will be punished again..."
Ming Jin drank some wine during dinner because he was feeling upset. At this moment, he was filled with shame and anger, so he could not listen to anything.
He walked towards the front yard regardless of anything, his mind filled with only one thing: "I swear to get my face back and I won't let that bitch get what she wants."
"stop--"
A slightly cold woman's voice sounded behind him, and Ming Jin stopped.
"Where are you going?" The woman, who was dressed luxuriously, had a gentle oval face, but at this moment her eyes and brows were filled with coldness.
Ming Jin turned around, looking angry: "Mother, do you know that bitch Chang Suining held a grand apprenticeship banquet in the city today, and invited many officials and scholars to attend. It caused quite a sensation and stole the limelight!"
"So you can't sit still anymore?" Lady Chang, the wife of Duke Ying, looked at her son and asked firmly, "Are you willing to go against the Saint's order to cause trouble for her?"
"... I'll be grounded again!" Ming Jin's face flushed. "Anyway, I can't swallow this anger. I have to get out!"
Chang: "Then how are you going to vent your anger? Bring people to ruin her apprenticeship banquet?"
"Even if I smashed it, what can she do to me?"
Chang sneered: "Do you know who are the people at the banquet? Do you really think you can destroy it just by bringing a few people with you?"
"I don't care who he is. I'll see who dares to stop me! Anyone who dares to stop me will be an enemy of our Ming family and the saint!"
Chang's eyes were even colder: "How could I give birth to a brainless idiot like you..."
The fact that the matter of Dayun Temple would be publicized was enough to prove that even the adopted daughter of the general knew the truth behind it - some things would only tie their hands and feet once they were exposed.
But her son took after his father, a real fool, who could not even see this truth clearly, and thought that he could solve the problem by just being rude, and he was self-righteous and believed that his aunt would support him.
Chang took two steps forward, his voice lowered, but his tone was a little heavier—
"It's true that your aunt is an omnipotent saint, but the reason she is omnipotent is that she paid a price you can't even imagine... A saint's eyes are on the overall situation. Do you really think she would openly cover up for your injustice and give you something to blame for nothing? Has the incident at Dayun Temple not taught you a lesson yet?"
Ming Jin didn't know whether he was shocked by her tone or retreated in his heart because of her words. His voice lost its impulsiveness, but he was still unwilling: "Could my aunt really allow a mere military general's adopted daughter to challenge the Ming family and even her reputation?"
"Face?" Chang said calmly, "That's just face in your eyes, not face in the eyes of a saint."
When the saint was not yet a saint, he lived in a remote palace adjacent to the elephant park with his two infant children. In winter, in order to get a basket of charcoal for heating, his dowry maid even knelt down and kowtowed to the eunuch of the palace.
Even though she later became a royal concubine and then a queen because of her son's status, the road was not always smooth.
The scenery is for outsiders to see.
Having walked through paths that ordinary people could never imagine, in the eyes of this saint, these trivial fights between children are not even a joke.
If a saint cared about such trivial "face", he would not be a saint.
Therefore, Chang looked at her son with great confidence at this moment: "If you dare to go out of the house tonight and disobey the house confinement order for this matter, and openly go to Dengtai Tower to cause trouble, what awaits you will be more than just house confinement..."
Ming Jin opened his mouth subconsciously to refute, but after his expression changed for a while, he finally said: "But I really can't swallow this breath!"
"You are not the only one who can't swallow it." Chang said coldly: "How glorious can your father and I be these days?"
Ming Jin frowned, "Are our Ming family really going to be manipulated and humiliated by such a little bitch without being able to fight back? It would be hilarious if anyone told others about it!"
No matter how he thought about it, he found this matter ridiculous!
"Who told you not to fight back?" Chang said slowly, "The key is not whether to fight back or not, but how to fight back... Do you remember why the saint stood on her side in Dayun Temple and punished you in return?"
Ming Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Because... I did something wrong and she caught me."
"That's not too stupid." Chang said, "So, you just need to take advantage of her mistakes just like she took advantage of your mistakes in the beginning, so that you won't lose to others."
As long as you are not in the wrong, even if you intend to take revenge, others will not be able to find anything to find out - even if it is reported to a saint, the saint will only stand on the side that is right.
"She has done so many things wrong!" Ming Jin said with hatred, "She is arrogant and conceited. She insulted me first, and then she beat Chang Miao in the Imperial College three days ago!"
Chang said calmly: "But these are not real faults."
Ming Jin suddenly looked at her: "Mother... do you have any good ideas?"
As early as when Chang started to speak, all the irrelevant servants had retreated to a distance and stood guard. At this time, only the mother and son were within ten steps.
She said slowly at this time: "It's not difficult to find a way. People live in this world, even saints and sages are not perfect... Not to mention that she is just an ignorant little girl, how could she not have made any mistakes?"
"It's not hard to find the mistakes." Chang raised her head slightly and looked in the direction of Dengtai Tower: "What's hard to find is the right time."
Before this, she had tried to invite the lady from the Chang family to her house under the pretext of a flower party, and tried to test the waters a little, but the other party did not come as invited.
Of course, not coming was expected.
And compared to ordinary flower shows, today there are obviously better choices.
No, it should be said that it is the best choice——
The ignorant little girl fell to the bottom of the valley at the most prominent and glorious moment, and there was no way back - just this lesson was enough to make her remember it for the rest of her life.
Ming Jin followed Chang's gaze and suddenly felt something.
He seemed to suddenly understand something.
Although he did not know the details of his mother's methods in the backyard, he was not completely ignorant of them.
Including Mingluo's biological mother seems to be...
That’s right, that bitch Chang Suining is a woman after all, and naturally a mother is better at dealing with women.
Ming Jin suddenly became excited and asked in a low voice, "Mother, do you plan to go to the Tai Tower in person?"
Chang sneered.
She is just a worthless little girl, why should she dirty her hands?
At this moment, there was a sudden roar in the night sky above, which was the sound of fireworks.
Following the bright light of the fireworks, I saw that it was the direction of Dengtai Tower.
"It's so lively." Chang exclaimed.
But soon, there will be another kind of excitement.
And the naive little girl who thinks she can do whatever she wants as long as she can find a little mistake of others is destined to be like this firework, which will only leave a mess after a moment of brilliance.
…
"So beautiful... mmm!"
On the third floor of Dengtai Building, Ah Dian stuffed snacks into his mouth while looking at the fireworks outside the building with his bright eyes.
Chang Suining was also watching the fireworks rising into the sky, and was stunned for a moment.
She had never seen this.
"Little A'li, you're beautiful, aren't you?" A'dian pointed out the window excitedly.
Chang Suining nodded blankly: "Very beautiful."
"This firework is made of gunpowder." Wei Shuyi came over at some point and said behind her.
Chang Suining, who didn't want to reveal his flaws, said subconsciously: "I know."
The smell of gunpowder was not unfamiliar to her; she could smell it just by smelling it.
It’s just that when she left Dasheng, she didn’t have this thing - but this is something that should not be revealed.
Wei Shuyi looked at her with a smile, then looked at the fireworks: "It's rare to see Madam Chang showing such a curious expression, so I thought it was the first time for Madam Chang to see it."
Chang Suining remained silent and tapped the fence with his fingers.
It was nothing to see it for the first time. Judging from the reactions of the people downstairs, it was obvious that this thing had only appeared for a few years. Ah Li didn't like to go out, so it might be the first time he saw it.
But the "I know" she said just now in order to hide her true identity meant that she knew it was made of gunpowder, but it was not necessarily something that Ah Li should know.
Wei Shuyi had obviously fallen into his old habit and was testing her again in a subtle way.
Sure enough, the other party asked curiously: "But how did Madam Chang know that it was made of gunpowder?"
Chang Suining had been prepared, so he was particularly calm at this moment: "Just now I heard from the people downstairs that this thing is made of gunpowder. We must stay away from it, otherwise we will be injured by the explosion."
Wei Shuyi nodded in understanding: "I just found out about this, too."
Chang Suining: "Maybe I knew it in the past."
Wei Shuyi raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Chang Suining did not answer but asked: "Does Minister Wei think that my behavior is different from that of an ordinary girl, so he has been trying to test me since we met in Hezhou?"
Wei Shuyi: “……?”
Is this something that can be asked directly? Well, as expected of Mrs. Chang, she is incomparable to ordinary people.
Fortunately, he is Wei Shuyi, and he is incomparable to ordinary people.
"It's not a test, it's curiosity." Minister Wei corrected with a friendly smile.
Chang Suining looked at him and said, "In order to prevent Minister Wei from being curious, I will tell him honestly today why I am so different from others—"
Wei Shuyi's smile faded slightly, and he looked into those eyes, silently becoming serious.
In the sight, the girl looked calm: "My brain is broken."
Wei Shuyi: “?”
"It's been bad since the Hezhou incident."
Wei Shuyi: "...Have you asked a doctor to take a look?"
"Yeah, I've seen it, and the Rejuvenation Center said it can't cure it."
Wei Shuyi was silent.
If even the Rejuvenation Center can’t cure it, then there’s basically no cure.
He could only say sympathetically: "I didn't expect that Madam Chang would suffer from such an unspeakable disease..."
"It doesn't have much of an impact." Chang Suining looked outside the building again and said, "It's just that I can't remember many things clearly, my words and actions are sometimes confused, some words are forgotten immediately, and when I wake up I often can't tell what day it is... So if Minister Wei finds that there is something wrong with me occasionally, don't take it to heart."
She was too lazy to deal with it, so she might as well get rid of it once and for all.
After a moment of silence, Wei Shuyi looked ashamed and said, "I didn't know before. I will never be so rude as to pry into Madam Chang's condition again."
Hearing the word "illness", Chang Suining was very satisfied.
"…………" After listening to this conversation, Changji remained silent for a long time.
At the same time, a sinister and vain thought burst out from his mind - he wanted to run downstairs immediately and shout in Cui Yuanxiang's ear - my husband knows that Madam Chang is mentally ill, but your husband doesn't know!
But as a human being, he must uphold the most basic bottom line. He cannot use Madam Chang's illness to satisfy his own selfish desires.
A feeling of self-admiration rose from Changji's heart, and he felt that his whole body was filled with the radiance of humanity.
"Don't be afraid of having a mental illness. Some people often say that I have a mental illness." While swallowing the snack, Ah Dian encouraged Chang Suining: "Little Ah Li, don't be afraid. His Highness said that everyone will get sick!"
Chang Suining smiled and nodded at him: "That's right."
Seeing that she "listened to advice", Ah Dian grinned, wiped the snack from the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'm full, I have to go out to find them!"
Chang Suining was puzzled: "They?"
Ah Dian looked around mysteriously, then bent down and whispered in her ear, "They are from Xuan Ce Mansion... Xiao Jing brought them here. They are quietly waiting downstairs. I promised to work with them."
Chang Suining subconsciously looked at the crowd downstairs.
At first glance, there was no one wearing the military uniform of Xuan Ce Mansion or dressed in tight clothes.
But if you look carefully for a moment, you can see some young men dressed as ordinary people roaming around Dengtai Tower.
If there are outside the building, there must be some inside as well.
Lively life also means chaotic situation. It is inevitable that some people will take advantage of the situation or cause trouble after getting drunk. To avoid chaos, she also asked the sword boy to keep an eye on it.
But she didn't know when Cui Jing secretly arranged these people.
No wonder it was so peaceful, there wasn't even a single petty theft incident all day.
While Chang Suining was thinking, he lowered his eyes and looked downstairs, and saw a sedan chair parked outside the building.
Soon, a figure came out of the sedan chair. Chang Suining looked carefully and felt that the figure looked familiar.
But the person who looked familiar was Li Shang, not Chang Suining.
And she really didn't know what the other person's current identity was.
So I asked, “Who is that?”
Wei Shuyi came over after hearing the voice. When he saw who was coming down the stairs, he looked a little surprised and asked, "Why is this person here too?"
Good night everyone~~ (End of this chapter)
