There was chaos in the front hall.
Li Yujiao bent her body and sobbed as she was beaten.
But her eyes, like Mingzhu's, stared at An Li fiercely, as if she wanted to bite through An Li's throat.
An Li felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that!
But, does this have anything to do with her?
All of this was retribution for the Second Wife’s misfortune. She couldn’t bear it after just one year, but her whole family suffered for more than ten years and eventually died tragically!
Even worse than her!
She would never be foolish enough to forgive her enemy just because he felt sorry for her!
"Beat you to death, you unfaithful bitch!"
Ming Wenyong kicked a few more times, and perhaps because he felt tired, he stopped.
Seeing his only daughter crying, he realized that his son Ming Yuanhong might not be able to get married in the future and would not be able to carry on the family line.
Just put your hopes on Mingzhu!
He looked ferocious in one second and a kind fatherly smile in the next, coaxing Mingzhu as if he was schizophrenic.
Gradually Mingzhu stopped crying.
Li Yujiao's maid took advantage of this opportunity to kneel on the ground and cried, "Master, the lady is about to faint. Please call a doctor to treat her."
"Who the hell do you think you are?"
"Just leave it like this. When you learn your lesson, you can call a doctor."
Ming Wenyong scolded, but he was still angry.
The value of this west courtyard is not low. There are shops all around it, so it can be sold at a good price.
Unexpectedly, this foolish woman gave the child to her elder sister-in-law without his knowledge.
I don’t know if I can get it back?
At this point, An Li had seen enough of the excitement, suppressed his smile, and frowned, saying, "For two hundred taels, Second Uncle is too ruthless."
"I don't want these two hundred taels. I'll use it as a doctor for my sister-in-law."
"Chunliu, go get the doctor!"
Chunliu suppressed her laughter and calmly walked out.
Afterwards, An Li personally helped Li Yujiao up.
Li Yujiao lost her balance and fell to the ground again.
Immediately, Li Yujiao screamed in pain!
In the end, Ming Wenyong couldn't bear it anymore and asked the maid to help his wife into the bedroom.
An Li apologized without any sincerity and left.
Chunliu, who had returned earlier, naturally could not call a doctor.
Back in the front hall of the East Courtyard, An Li couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, a round little firecracker rushed in and hugged An Li's thigh.
She said in a baby voice: "Liang Qin..."
Mingxin, who is already over one year old, is much taller and stronger than her peers.
In her hand, she was holding a peach that was bigger than her face and had eaten half of it.
It is only April now, and the peach trees are in bloom, but they will not bear fruit yet.
I don’t know where Xinbao got it from!
"Girl, where have you been having fun again? Your head is full of flower petals." An Li picked up his daughter and smiled as he looked at her head full of flowers.
Two more people came in later, namely Chunhe and Princess Gaochang.
Princess Gaochang stepped forward and bowed. "Madam, Xinbao and I were just playing hide-and-seek in the garden, and that's when the petals fell. Please don't punish her."
She really likes Xinbao, and she once had a daughter.
"Don't worry, Yu Niang, no one will punish her." An Li said to her with a smile, Xinbao is the darling of the whole family.
As he was speaking, Ming Wenqing came back from outside.
He looked serious, and seemed a little aggrieved.
"You go down first." An Li said to the Princess of Gaochang and others.
"Husband, what's wrong? What happened?"
Ming Wenqing leaned on his wife's shoulder and said aggrievedly, "Madam, the border is in urgent need of help. We will have to leave in three days."
"So urgent?"
An Li was shocked. Didn’t General Yun Hui say that the border was stable when he came back?
As a woman, she didn't know much about this.
"Spies reported that several small nations, including Xiqi and Manyi, were causing minor harassment. I suspect they are using this as cover to launch a large-scale attack on border cities."
"The Emperor has issued an order to return with General Yunhui."
Ming Wenqing was very reluctant to leave, and his eyes became red as he spoke.
What's more, he was worried. What would happen to his wife and children if he went to war?
What if the second wife fabricates the news that he died in battle, and the lady believes it and gets upset?
An Li patted her husband's shoulder and smiled comfortingly, "Husband, you are the 'Handsome Evil Ghost'. I believe that under your command, the enemy will be beaten to a pulp."
"Don't worry about home, I and Chu'er Ling'er are here."
[Yes! Daddy, and Xinbao.]
[With me here, everything will be safe and sound.]
Mingxin munched on the fairy peach, mumbling to herself.
I look forward to the next time my dad comes back so that I can speak fluently.
[Hey! Let me tell Daddy's fortune.]
Mingxin closed her eyes and made a seal with one hand.
After three breaths, she was somewhat surprised. [This is an auspicious hexagram. Not only will it turn misfortune into good fortune, but it will also bring great fortune!]
But I couldn’t finish my words, I could only talk to myself in my heart!
After hearing his daughter's thoughts, An Li felt relieved.
Since ancient times, swords have been merciless in wars, and she was also afraid that her husband would never come back...
Ming Wenqing sniffed and picked up his daughter. "Xinbao, will you miss daddy after he's gone?"
"I will...think...of Daddy..."
Mingxin was chewing on the fairy peach with tears in her eyes.
"Look at you, not only do you cry, but you also make your daughter cry."
An Li pinched her husband and hugged Xinbao again.
However, the peach in Xinbao's hand smells so good, and looks so crispy, juicy and delicious.
Ming Wenqing smiled happily, and talked to his wife for a while, then was sent away by An Li to prepare for the war.
During these three days, An Li asked the chef to prepare many dishes that her husband liked.
I also sewed a peace sachet for him, hoping everything goes well!
The Princess of Gaochang was originally from Xiqi, and among the countries that were harassed on the border was Xiqi.
Therefore, Princess Gaochang must also leave together!
Who knows, it might be of great use at a critical moment!
Three days passed quickly.
Ming Wenqing put on his armor early in the morning, prepared everything, and was about to ride away on his warhorse Hongying.
Before leaving, he looked back at his wife, got off his horse, hugged his wife and kissed her, "Madam, wait for your husband's triumphant return."
"Chu'er, Ling'er, you must help your mother protect the General's Mansion."
He raised his head and said seriously.
Ming Yichui and Ming Yiling nodded at the same time. Even if their father didn't say it, they would have known it.
Finally, there is Mingxin.
[Daddy, this is for you.]
[This is the purple gold gourd, which contains everything you need.]
Ming Xin stuffed a small gourd into Ming Wenqing's hand.
"Daddy...come on..."
Mingxin waved her chubby little hands to cheer her father up.
With the purple gold gourd by your side, you will have a smooth journey.
Ming Wenqing tightly grasped the gourd given by his daughter, jumped on his horse, and this time left with the army without looking back.
Everyone in General Weiyuan's mansion came out and saw him off with tears in their eyes.
The people on both sides of the streets in Yongjing City also lined the banks to see them off, and many even gave them cakes and dried goods.
"Madam, the master has left, go back."
Chunliu wiped her tears and said.
