Mingyan's expression changed. "Master, the mistress already knows about the relationship between me and the housekeeper. She also said that she would let me be his concubine in a few days. Today, the housekeeper asked me to come over to give me some jewelry as a betrothal gift! We didn't do anything private!"
Ni Gaofei frowned tightly and said nothing.
Tian You sighed at the side: "You mean to say that the Madam tacitly agrees that you two are together?"
"Mingyan, you might as well tell the truth. If it was Madam who forced you to marry this man who could be your father, I will make the decision for you. Please, Master, don't let you marry. You were forced, so naturally you don't need to be buried in the pond!"
Tian You began to seduce Mingyan, hoping to make her rebel.
At the same time, Miao Yuan had already gotten into bed and was ready to go to sleep.
A servant hurried in and reported, "Madam, this is bad! Mingyan and the housekeeper have been caught! Concubine Tian has brought them before the master and is trying them!"
"Help me up."
When Miao Yuan arrived, the servants pulled Mingyan to take her to the sinking pond, and the housekeeper would be kicked out of the prime minister's residence and would never be employed again.
When Miao Yuan appeared, Ni Gaofei turned his head to look at her, and Miao Yuan bowed to Ni Gaofei.
"Greetings, Master. Master, I have heard about the two of them. Although I feel ashamed for them, it's just that..."
Her gaze fell on Tian You, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.
She stretched out her hand and handed the engagement letter to the maid beside her.
Miao Yuan held the engagement letter in her hand and explained, "I want to make the decision for the two of you and betroth Mingyan to him, so the two of you exchanged engagement letters. On them are the names of three generations of ancestors of both of you, as well as their birthdates and places of origin. Even though I'm going to be a concubine, I still want to marry her off in a formal way!"
"I haven't even picked a date for them yet, and haven't completed the formalities yet, yet they're so eager to be together. How shameless! But, isn't what Chen Tang said a bit serious?"
Ni Gaofei frowned, glanced at the engagement letter lightly, and threw it back.
He looked at Tian You tiredly: "If Madam wanted to bribe the butler, why would she exchange the engagement letter between the two of them, thinking of openly giving Mingyan to the butler as a concubine?"
Tian You looked at Ni Gaofei aggrievedly: "But Master, it's only natural that the housekeeper helps Madam because of Mingyan's relationship! I heard their conversation clearly by the window, you must believe me!"
Ni Gaofei felt a bit of a headache. "It's getting late. These two will be detained first. You continue to look for clues to prove your innocence! If you can produce evidence to prove your innocence, I will hand them over to you for whatever you want to do with them!"
Without waiting for Tian You to respond, Ni Gaofei turned around and walked into the room, slamming the door shut.
Tian You clenched his fists and looked at Miao Yuan with bloodshot eyes. Miao Yuan looked indifferent and chuckled disdainfully: "Auntie Tian, you'd better stop struggling."
Late at night, Ni Yueshan dozed off, and the ink from the Maojian brush dripped onto the paper covered with words, spreading out.
Ni Yueshan immediately regained consciousness and rushed to rescue him.
I was thinking of staying up late to catch up on the progress, but instead of writing a few more words, I ruined the one I had already written.
It's been two days and no one has spoken.
Ni Yueshan glanced at the window and wanted Qingfeng to take her out for some fresh air.
As if by telepathy, there was a knock on the window.
Ni Yueshan walked towards the window and when he opened it, he was surprised to see someone standing outside.
"You, you are not recuperating in the temple, you..."
Next to Yu Fei, another face appeared and asked Ni Yueshan in a cheeky tone, "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
"We only learned today when we returned to the capital that you were confined to your room by the Prime Minister. We thought you must be bored to death, so we waited until late at night to come and check on you. Did we not disturb you?"
Ni Yueshan shook his head: "No, no, I welcome you all to come, come in!"
Only after Shao Lecheng and Yu Fei came in did Ni Yueshan see that Yu Fei was holding a food box in her hand.
"I brought some wine and two small dishes. Let's eat, drink and talk. If you don't mind, we can come every night."
Ni Yueshan looked at Yu Fei's ankle with concern. Yu Fei smiled and said, "The wound will scab over quickly. It won't be long before you can walk normally again!"
"That's good." Ni Yueshan placed the cups and poured wine for the two of them. Suddenly, he remembered that Yu Fei couldn't drink. "You're injured, so it's not suitable for you to drink. You should just eat the food."
Shao Lecheng sat down beside him, his voice somewhat depressed. "I say, what on earth did the Emperor arrange for the Second Prince to leave without a word? He even postponed his wedding! This Emperor must have done this on purpose, right?"
Ni Yueshan said helplessly, "Whether it was intentional or not, the emperor didn't punish me for the matter of our ancestor. This is already a great favor from the emperor. I am grateful to the emperor!"
Yu Fei sat in her seat and glanced at the women's virtues that Ni Yueshan had copied over the past two days.
"Why don't I take a few and leave, and have the person who copied the notes help you copy them?"
"No, no need. Although I really want to get out as soon as possible, I always feel guilty about asking someone to copy me. Is it dangerous for you to come to the capital now? Is anyone still searching for you?"
Yu Fei shook her head: "The storm has subsided, so don't worry."
"It's so boring just chatting, let's have a drink." Shao Lecheng picked up the wine glass and looked at the two of them.
Finally, Shao Lecheng found that he could not chat and drink with the two women, so he left the room in frustration.
Outside the house, Shao Lecheng looked at the dark night, stroking his chin. An idea flashed through his mind, and then he flew up into the night.
The prime minister's residence was extremely quiet late at night. Shao Lecheng flew quickly across the roof without anyone noticing.
Seeing that there was no one around, he flew down to the ground. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips as he approached a room.
The person in the room was obviously fast asleep, and he sneaked into the room without waking her up.
Shao Lecheng looked around and finally walked to the screen with the help of the faint light. There was a piece of clothing draped on it, and he reached out and touched it.
The next day, Ni Yueshan continued to copy the women's virtues. Shao Lecheng took Yu Fei away, and Ni Yueshan regained her peace of mind.
Tian You got up very early. After what happened yesterday, the lives of the housekeeper and Mingyan were temporarily saved, but the two were in cahoots with Miao Yuan, so how could she let them go?
He immediately took people to the woodshed.
The housekeeper and Mingyan were locked inside. When they heard the door open, they immediately looked towards the door.
They saw that the person coming was Tian You, and both of them looked unhappy.
Tian You looked at the two of them, sizing them up and down: "You two, after being locked up for a night, have you decided what to say?"
Mingyan looked at Tian You and sarcastically suggested, "You almost caused me to lose my life. Do you think I will let go of this opportunity?"
Tian You was furious: "What a guts! He won't cry until he sees the coffin!"
