Chapter 241: Jealousy and Madness
Gu Huai's eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone, which was chilling.
"Lu Mingchao, you are really great."
Gu Huai clenched his teeth so tightly that the sound seemed to come from between his teeth.
Lu Mingchao smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
"I have always been good, but you are blind."
Gu Huai was very angry, but he could only swallow his anger.
Ming Yushi is like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard. It doesn't give face to anyone and only recognizes the justice of the law.
There was no civil or military official in the Manchu dynasty who had not been impeached by the Ming Dynasty historians.
Ming Yushi's father also served as Yushitai. The most sensational incident he participated in was that his mother broke into the military camp without imperial order and his father protected her for personal reasons and was unfair.
Ming Yushi's temper is even harder and more unkind than that of Mr. Ming.
If an egg is picked on, it can also help the other party to shed a layer of skin.
Even during the palace coup that year, Ming Yushi publicly questioned the death of the previous emperor.
Everyone thought that Ming Yushi would be executed by the murderous late emperor, but they never imagined that the Ming family had a life-saving talisman bestowed by Emperor Wencheng.
A plaque that shows the style of an upright censor and a handwritten letter that favors the wise and distances from the treacherous have preserved the history of Ming Dynasty's outspoken words.
With the plaque bestowed by Emperor Wencheng, Ming Yushi would be able to sit in the position of Yushi until his death.
It can’t go up any further.
Your Majesty, I won’t allow it.
Even if he was demoted, he could not be demoted any further.
Your Majesty, I dare not.
Therefore, Ming Yushi turned into a mad dog and bit people everywhere.
If Ming Yushi sets his sights on him, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and Wuxing Shen's family will have to be cautious and restrained in whatever they want to do.
His father would make him kneel in the ancestral hall and punish him.
Lu Mingchao really knows how to find people!
"Lu Mingchao, I have never failed to get what I want."
"Do you think you can still maintain a clean reputation by traveling with your ex-fiancé who you were once engaged to?"
"Others will just say that you, Lu Mingchao, are shameless enough to cling to me."
Lu Mingchao rubbed his wrist, raised his eyebrows, and smiled sarcastically, "Really?"
"Why don't you ascend to that supreme position?"
"Don't you want to?"
"Then why didn't you come forward to protect General Xie Er, whom you admired the most, during the palace coup?"
"Don't you want to?"
At this point, the sarcasm in Lu Mingchao's smile deepened, "No matter what you want, you can get it."
The original owner and Gu Huai were childhood sweethearts, true innocence, so they naturally knew where to insert the knife to hurt the most.
"Gu Huai, stop bragging!"
"As for having a clean reputation, doesn't Mrs. Hou always twist her veil when attending banquets and say that she will treat me as the second daughter of the house for the rest of her life?"
"My wife's sister is coming back to Beijing to visit her relatives, but she is not allowed to take a ride with her brother-in-law?"
Gu Huai was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Sharp-tongued!"
"Sharp-tongued!"
This is what I keep saying.
Lu Mingchao is "tongue-tied!"
Gu Huai's chest heaved, his breathing was heavy, and he knocked on the carriage, "Bu Yan, help this prince down!"
You have to slow down, if we continue to be in the same carriage together, he will go crazy!
Without anyone to bother him around, Lu Mingchao felt refreshed.
The car stopped in a town to rest for a while.
Gu Huai waved his hand and booked the best inn in the city.
“Bang, bang, bang.”
Lu Mingchao was massaging his aching waist when there was a knock on the door.
He stood up and unbolted the door.
What comes into view is a simple and naive little girl.
When the little girl smiled, there were two small pear-shaped swirls on her face, and she was holding a food box several layers high in her hands.
"Hello, ma'am."
The little girl bowed deeply.
Then, he continued, "This is what the master asked me to deliver."
Lu Mingchao: "Who are you?"
The little girl was not shy and was very familiar with people. She put out the food in the lunch box one by one and said in a lively and generous manner, "Madam, I am the daughter of the innkeeper. My name is Rui Ni."
"Put it down." Lu Mingchao's eyes swept over the delicious and well-matched meat and vegetable dishes, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Gu Huai was knowledgeable and thoughtful, and he thought of using food incompatibility to solve the problem of the fetus in her belly.
If she hadn't learned some lessons from the old doctors who inspected rice and grain at Chaofu Grain Store, she really would not have discovered it.
“Are the dishes fixed by the chef?”
The little girl shook her head. "The eldest master said that the lady is pregnant and is very picky. She can hardly eat ordinary food, so the cook in the lady's house is in charge of cooking."
Lu Mingchao corrected, "Rui Ni, I am the sister-in-law of the master you mentioned."
The little girl's brain is not enough.
"Then Madam's brother-in-law is really good to Madam."
Lu Mingchao: ...
Tired, destroy it.
"Ma'am, please eat first, I'll clean up later."
The little girl bowed and walked away briskly.
Lu Mingchao casually picked up a few chopsticks and put them into the space supermarket unnoticed under the cover of his wide puffy sleeves.
Gu Huai sending her food is like a weasel paying a New Year's greeting to a chicken, he has no good intentions!
…
"Has it been delivered?"
Gu Huai lowered his eyes and looked at the white teacup on the table. He saw the green tea leaves rising and flying in the cup.
Just like his hesitant and uneasy mood at this moment.
The little girl nodded obediently.
"Very good." Gu Huai glanced and said nothing.
Bu Yan understood what he meant, took out some change and handed it over, then waved his hand and said, "Go down."
Gu Huai blew away the foam in the tea and took a sip.
No matter how the tea leaves float up and down at first, they will eventually fall to the bottom of the cup.
It is his thoughts and also Ming Dynasty’s life.
Once the tea leaves are in the cup, they cannot escape from it.
His lips moved as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
After much hesitation, he finally mustered up the courage to say, "My Lord, it's not too late to regret now."
Gu Huai slammed the teacup heavily on the table.
The tea kept swirling, and a piece of tea leaf splashed out with the tea.
Gu Huai looked at the tea leaf and his face suddenly became gloomy.
Ignoring the rules and etiquette I have learned since childhood, I stubbornly picked up the tea leaves with my fingers and put them back into the cup.
No words: ...
His son is becoming more and more unruly.
Isn't this really just making trouble out of nothing?
What on earth had Miss Lu done to anger God and man that she should have met such a stubborn and awkward person like her own son?
"What do you mean?" Gu Huai asked coldly.
Bu Yan bit the bullet and said, "My Lord, I am also thinking about you."
"Miss Lu is very smart. Once she miscarries, she will definitely figure out the reason. She will resent you."
"Moreover, miscarriage is dangerous and can harm the mother if you are not careful."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst."
Gu Huai's eyelids twitched, and he said stubbornly, "Impossible."
"The doctor stayed at the inn and treated him in time. There is no chance of an emergency."
"It goes without saying that if she gives birth to Xie Yan's child, she will always be concerned about Xie Yan and will never be able to live peacefully with this prince for the rest of her life."
"It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. When she gets used to the prosperity of Shangjing City again, she will be grateful for the choice I made for her."
No “but…”
Gu Huailing glanced at him and said, "No buts!"
The moment he saw Achao adjusting her hair and clothes, holding up the hem of her skirt and fluttering towards Xie Yan like a butterfly, he was jealous to the point of madness.
When I meet my beloved, I straighten my clothes.
Madam Hou is dying? 】
