Chapter 400, The Duke is really patient
Liu Wan didn't even open the curtain to look at him, but just quietly patted the little guy who was sleeping in her arms.
She seemed to be thinking about the meaning of life.
///
The Duke's Mansion in Beijing.
Duke Yan returned to the mansion in a dusty state.
Before he had time to wash off the wind and frost on the way, he heard contemptuous laughter from the inner room.
"These few days, the Duke left Beijing without telling me, so that I could send someone to prepare clothes for the Duke."
After the words fell, a graceful woman walked out slowly from behind the screen, seeming to be looking at him, with a smile that did not reach her eyes.
Duke Yan suddenly frowned, "Why are you here!"
This is his main house!
"That's right. You and I are husband and wife. What's wrong with me living in the same room with my husband?"
Yu came slowly to sit beside him, still charming.
Duke Yan sneered, "As you wish!"
After that, he flicked his sleeves and walked out, and the door was shut heavily!
Chen Pei, the servant at the door, was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe. He hurriedly explained,
"Forgive me, Duke. Madam wants to come here to rest, and I can't stop her. Butler Qian went out with you. No one in the mansion dared to stop her."
He was just a servant, but he had heard that the Duke and this wife had always been at odds.
But Chen Pei was puzzled. If the two were at odds, why could they get married?
Even if they were strangers, men and women should live a simple life after marriage.
It is rare to see someone like the Duke who doesn't even give the Duke face.
What's even more strange is that the Duke and his wife have two sons even though they are in such a mess.
This contradiction is so strange that one can't find any clues. It is
even more incomprehensible that the Duke got so angry just because his wife entered the bedroom.
The couple seemed to be mortal enemies.
"Don't blame you. After she leaves, clean the room thoroughly, especially the bed, and replace it with a new one!"
Duke Yan gave the order with a gloomy face, and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Although Chen Pei was curious, he could only agree reluctantly.
Soon, he knew why the Duke was so angry and even wanted to replace the bed.
He waited outside for a long time and heard the blushing and panting voices of a man and a woman in the house:
"You really know how to excite yourself by playing this kind of trick on the old man's bed."
"What are you afraid of? He knows that he will not come back tonight after getting so angry. Don't you want to try being a Duke?"
"Of course I do, otherwise I would climb through the window to see you. You miss me so much, little baby."
"Oh, that's disgusting~"
...
Then came the dirty words that were hard to hear.
Chen Pei looked ugly and quietly withdrew.
He happened to meet two young masters who brought soup to see the Duke.
The eldest son Yansong, who is fifteen years old this year, asked the servant, "Has my father rested?"
"My dear, the Duke just returned home and went out for something important." Chen Pei said.
Yansong looked disappointed and sighed deeply,
"Alas, I ordered someone to cook this soup a long time ago. There is a hundred-year-old ginseng in it, but I ran all over the capital and bought the best to nourish my father. Since my father is not here, I will forget it."
As a son for fifteen years, he thought he was extremely filial, but his father never gave them a good face.
Today, he heard that his father was back from a long trip, and he wanted to take the opportunity to set an example, but it was in vain.
"Brother, I told you that you don't have to come. It's not like you haven't sent us off before. Father always refused to let us in. We are filial, but he has never been nice to us."
The 13-year-old boy next to him was Yan Ming, the second son of Duke Yan. At this moment, he looked at him with contempt and felt that his brother didn't have to do these things. He
was just trying to get something for nothing.
"You little boy, if you dare to talk nonsense in front of father, I won't forgive you. Remember that?"
At this time, the second young master Yan Ming noticed Chen Pei and threatened him with an angry look.
"I didn't hear anything, young master, rest assured, I will send you
off respectfully." Chen Pei lowered his head and asked someone to send the two young masters out.
Looking at the backs of the two, he thought of the man and woman in the Duke's room.
Chen Pei suddenly figured out all his doubts.
He couldn't help but feel numb.
No wonder the Duke was so cold to the two young masters.
The Duke, he is really tolerant! Duke
Yan brought his confidants to a villa in the capital.
"Guard the door." He looked around vigilantly, making sure that no one was watching him, and stepped into the villa.
Taoist Huiyue was already drinking tea in the villa.
"Duke, I just received an order and came to the capital. I didn't expect to meet your people first. I will put aside the order of the Xie Mansion and come to you first." Taoist
Huiyue stood up and said with a smile.
He wandered around Hezhou and the capital. If someone asked him to do something, he would do it no matter whether it was good or bad as long as the money was in place.
However, the Duke's power in the capital is first-class, and the Xie family can't compare.
So, he went to find the Duke first.
"Open the altar and help me summon the soul of the ancient guardian. Time is running out. I must pull the ancient guardian as soon as possible!"
Duke Yan patted Taoist Huiyue's shoulder.
The emperor's birthday banquet is getting closer and closer, and the Lord of Donglin is coming to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.
If he doesn't summon the guardian spirit quickly, when the Lord of Donglin comes, his plan will not be implemented.
Taoist Huiyue nodded, and the altar that had been prepared was in front of him. He immediately began to perform a ritual to summon the soul. On
the other side of the capital.
In the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Gu Ming had just kowtowed to Xia Wanwan and asked Xia Wanwan to accept him as a younger brother, when his soul was pulled by a strange force.
"What's wrong with you?" Xia Wanwan asked with her head tilted.
Gu Ming: "I'm fine, Sister Wan, just promise to let me hang out with you, and from now on I will go through fire and water for you, and I will do whatever you say... Ah, Sister Wan, save me!" Biqiku
screamed, and Gu Ming's soul was suddenly pulled out of this body. He was summoned away by a strange force. He
watched helplessly as his soul was pulled away in front of his eyes.
Xia Wanwan raised her eyebrows and immediately grabbed the guy, "Yuanbao, someone dares to bully my little brother in front of me, let's go and fight!"
Yuanbao hugged the little guy and flew out, chasing after Gu Ming's soul.
The two chased to a separate courtyard together.
Duke Yanguo was seen looking at the spirit floating in the air with devout eyes, kneeling on the ground and crying,
"Gu Ming Guardian, I have helped you for more than ten years. I feel bitter in my heart. I beg you to avenge me and wash away the grievances."
Gu Ming's spirit floated in the night sky and asked, "I know you, how do you want me to help you?"
Duke Yanguo stood up and said excitedly,
"Help me deal with a little girl first. She is two and a half years old, with a face like a meat bun and two meatballs on her head. She is so cute."
"It's a pity for this cute little thing. Her name is Xia Wanwan."
