"There are also red envelopes to receive." Ming Wenqing added.
After a while, we arrived at the Grand Palace.
Ming Wenqing woke up his wife and got out of the carriage holding his daughter. Ming Yichu and the other two also got out of the carriage behind.
Early in the morning, the housekeeper of the Grand Mansion was guarding the door.
An Li and his group were respectfully welcomed into the front hall.
"Mom, Dad, we are here to wish you a happy new year."
"Grandma and Grandpa, Yichu/Yiqian/Yiling wish you a happy new year."
An Li and Ming Wenqing knelt down in front.
Ming Yichu and the other two knelt down behind them, while Ming Xin stood on the ground, looking around.
He also knelt awkwardly: "Greetings to…ancestors…happy…happy new year…"
The voice is very babyish.
"Hey, little guy, stop kneeling. Hurry up, children, get up." The eldest sister smiled gracefully.
Holding Mingxin in his arms, Mr. Jiang helped his daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren up.
"You! Give our Xinbao a big red envelope!"
Big *** took out a thick and cute red envelope from her long sleeves and put it in Mingxin's hand.
Mingxin smiled happily and kissed her grandmother several times.
The eldest sister gave generous red envelopes to her daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.
"Happy New Year to my uncle and aunt!"
Ming Yichu and the other two knelt down again.
"Okay, okay! Get up quickly, uncle has prepared red envelopes for you."
Jiang Yu smiled gently, helped his nephews up, and gave them red envelopes.
Next, Jiang Jinghao knelt down again and kowtowed to An Li and Ming Wenqing.
An Li helped his nephew up and gave him and his niece each a big red envelope.
After drinking some tea and chatting for a while, An Li and his group left the mansion.
Now that the old lady is following the second wife, it is natural for her to go to the second wife's house to take care of the family.
To prevent it from being spread by someone with ulterior motives and causing unnecessary misunderstanding.
After arriving at the Second House of Ming, Ming Wenyong and Li Yujiao led An Li and his party to Yishouyuan.
An Li discovered that the layout and construction of this courtyard was the same as that of the west courtyard.
In Yishouyuan.
"Mom, we are here to wish you a happy new year."
"Grandma, your grandson/granddaughter wishes you a happy new year."
The first and second wives' families knelt down together.
No one noticed, Mingxin secretly crawled out!
The old lady smiled and asked Nanny Wang to help her help the second son and his family up.
Ming Wenqing had a blank expression on his face. He helped his wife to get up on his own. The old lady's expression changed, and her smile faded a little when she looked at her eldest son's family.
She patted her legs and said, "My health is getting worse day by day. I can't help you up with my own hands."
"I'm old enough to be buried, and I don't have much money."
"This red envelope is just for the sake of happiness, but don't think it's too little!"
Nanny Wang took a few red envelopes and distributed them to the first and second wives.
An Li pinched it lightly, and it was so thin that it felt like there was nothing inside.
However, she didn't care, it was just a formality!
She glanced at the second wife and saw clearly that her red envelope was thicker than theirs.
This old lady's partiality remains unchanged!
The old lady continued, "Don't think the eldest brother's family is too small. It can't compare to the princess's family."
"You all know the second brother's situation. He's so poor that he can barely make ends meet."
"Your nephew and niece are here, just give them the red envelope!"
Ming Wenqing didn't expect his mother to distrust him so much.
Immediately, Ming Yuanhong knelt down and kowtowed. His uncle's family was very generous, and his pocket money depended on his uncle and aunt.
An Li smiled. She had expected this when she came.
She took out the red envelopes she had prepared in advance and said, "Hurry up and get up. Auntie has already prepared them for you."
Put two red envelopes into the hands of Ming Yuanhong and Mingzhu.
Seeing this, the old lady's expression relaxed and a smile appeared on her face.
Li Yujiao quietly turned her back and opened it. Inside was a fifty-liang silver note.
It was not the five hundred or one thousand taels she had imagined!
What can I do with these fifty taels?!
It’s not even enough for her to buy a box of rouge and powder or a hairpin!
At this time, Ming Xin had already crawled into a locked courtyard in the Ming Mansion.
As soon as she came in, she felt a strong resentment from a living person. She had a hunch that this person could deal with the second branch.
The yard was locked with a big lock and guarded by servants.
Mingxin blew a breath and the servant fainted on the ground.
Then she crawled in through the crack in the door and saw a beautiful aunt sitting in a rocking chair, looking very sad.
That strong resentment came from her!
"Auntie..."
Mingxin crawled to the woman and called out softly.
The beautiful woman was startled and came to her senses, "Little guy, whose child are you? How did you get here?"
"Let's go quickly, or we'll be discovered."
There were light purple marks on her neck.
Judging from his accent, he doesn't seem to be a native of Yongjing City.
"Auntie...I...can...help...you..." Ming Xin said stutteringly.
The beautiful woman smiled bitterly and said, "Little guy, you are too young. No one can help me."
She was originally the Princess of Gaochang of Xiqi State and followed her husband to guard the border.
During a war, she was abducted by a young man named Ming Yuanhong, who said he loved her and took her by force.
She didn't love him and tried to escape several times, but was finally locked up in this small courtyard.
Even death is a luxury!
"Auntie..." Mingxin felt that her resentment was even greater.
It's really annoying that you can't speak clearly!
He simply sat down and wrote with his fingers on the unmelted snow: "Auntie, these are obedient pills and truth pills. You can coax the person who trapped you to eat them. They will wear off in three hours."
She took out six pills from the cloth bag with her small hands and placed them in the beautiful woman's hand.
Princess Gaochang was stunned. Could this adorable little doll in front of her be telling the truth?
Ming Xin scribbled on the snow again: 'Auntie, who trapped you here?'
Princess Gaochang murmured, "It's Ming Yuanhong."
She shed tears again and told this fairy-like doll everything that had happened since she got here.
I didn't expect her to understand, but at least I felt a lot better after I said it!
Then the doll wrote, "Auntie, Ming Yuanhong has a fiancée and they will be getting married soon."
"You can pretend to be in love with him, ask him to marry you, and then you can escape. I will help you then."
After Mingxin finished writing, she sat down on the ground in one breath. It was so tiring for her fingers.
Once the matter is resolved, I have to erase the memory of my beautiful aunt. It would be bad if people knew that a baby less than one year old could write.
This beautiful aunt happens to be Ming Yuanhong's weakness, and she can take advantage of this opportunity to ruin his reputation!
Take back big brother's fate!
Princess Gaochang was confused, but she felt hopeful.
Looking at the little divine baby in front of her who seemed to have fallen from the sky, she chose to believe it.
"Will you really help me?" she asked again foolishly.
Ming Xin nodded, sensing that her parents were looking for her. She quickly wrote "Mom is looking for me!" with her fingers and crawled out.
Princess Gaochang smiled for the first time and destroyed the words left by the little guy.
He returned to the house, holding the pills tightly in his hand.
