Chapter 273 Thinking about Men

However, Lu Minghui's name became famous in Beijing in another way.

After the morning, Marquis Yongning was in a state of dismay and his face was pale.

The Duke of Zhen hesitated for a long time, and finally stepped forward and said, "This Duke is grateful for your kindness today."

"He was not demoted, but was temporarily dismissed from office."

"This shows that His Majesty still cares about Marquis Lu."

Marquis Yongning said stiffly and reluctantly, "Thank you for your comfort, Duke."

The Duke of Zhenguo could not bear to look at it, and sighed, "If there was no such thing as the real and fake daughter, I would be very happy and would like to form a good relationship with you and continue the friendship between the two families."

"I also watched Ming Chao grow up. Ming Chao is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, obedient and gentle. He treats that bastard Gu Huai well."

"Of course, things are unpredictable, what a pity."

"Take care of yourself."

The light words "what a pity" floated into the ears of Yongning Hou, like two heavy hammers hitting his heart, overflowing with endless pain and regret.

It's more than a pity.

Marquis Yongning felt that he had missed the opportunity to achieve prosperity.

The Duke and his wife of Zhenguo were very fond of Chao Chao. Although Gu Huai's attitude was lukewarm, he did not show too much resistance, and he never announced the cancellation of the engagement.

If Chaochao marries Gu Huai, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will certainly support Minghua and will also act as a matchmaker for Minghua and Qin Fuxi.

By then, with Grand Tutor Qin and Duke Zhenguo protecting Ming Hua, Marquis Yongning will have no reason to worry about not prospering.

One wrong step leads to all wrong.

Marquis Yongning returned to his mansion in a restless mood and subconsciously walked to Lanxi Courtyard.

Through the carved hollow window, I could clearly see the proud smile on Lu Minghui's face. "Mother, does this mean that my daughter has the potential to be a great mother to the world?"

Marquis Yongning's pupils shrank.

"There is no such possibility." Marquis Yongning kicked the door open and slapped the smug face.

Your reputation is so bad, and you still dare to dream in broad daylight!

Mother's rites for the world?

Could it be that he wants to stir up trouble in His Majesty's harem?

How much does the Yongning Marquis's Mansion weigh? Can it withstand Lu Minghui's bullying and the wrath of His Majesty?

Lu Minghui covered her face, angry but not daring to speak.

Marquis Yongning slapped him again with his backhand.

The slap landed on the face of the wife of Marquis Yongning.

"Stupid woman!"

"Stupid woman!"

"Short-sighted and stupid!"

The wife of the Marquis of Yongning's ears were buzzing, and she screamed hysterically, "My Lord, what are you doing?"

"What did I do?" Yongning Hou was furious. "Why did Lu Minghui hide the plot against Minghua and Qin Wanrou from me?"

If he knew about it, he would have thought of a solution long ago.

After Cheng Yan exposed the truth in the court, he was more than just passive!

The wife of the Marquis of Yongning lost some of her arrogance, hunched her shoulders, and said cautiously, "My Lord, you, you know?"

"Not only did I know about it, officials above the fifth rank also knew about it. Within an hour, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Shangjing City!" Marquis Yongning panted heavily, his eyes were so cold as if he was looking at a dead person.

"It is a huge joke that the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquisate is plotting to murder her own brother."

Madam Yongning stumbled back a step. “How could this be?”

"In the morning court, the Prime Minister's words were sharp and everyone heard them clearly."

"Do you really have to sit by and watch Lu Minghui cause the whole mansion to be in turmoil and the family to be destroyed?" Marquis Yongning was angry and anxious, and his vision went dark.

"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that although Cheng Yan may seem like a lowly fifth-rank official with little experience, His Majesty is actually behind him."

"Everything he said and did was instructed by Your Majesty."

Marquis Yongning glanced at Lu Minghui with disdain, "If I had known this would happen, I should have beaten her out the day she returned home to recognize her relatives!"

"Tell me, why did she suddenly mention Mother Yi Tianxia!"

"Don't hide it!"

"Otherwise, if I find out the truth myself, you can leave."

"The Yongning Marquis's Mansion does not need a confused and muddle-headed mistress."

The wife of Marquis Yongning lowered her eyes, her gaze flickering.

"I dare not hide it from you, Lord Hou. It is a story about a peasant girl who eventually became a great sage in a newly published book by Shangjing Meng Sansheng."

"Give it to me." Marquis Yongning stretched out his hand doubtfully.

Lu Minghui hurriedly took the notebook that smelled of ink in both hands.

The people in Yongning Marquis's Mansion quickly flipped through a few pages of "Infatuated and delusional."

Do you really think that all the civil and military officials and nobles in the court are dead, and would allow a peasant girl to take the throne as the Empress Dowager and perform rituals for the whole country?

"Don't read these bluffs. You are stupid in the first place, and if you keep reading them, you will become an idiot who has no idea of ​​the immensity of the world."

"Aspirations are high as the sky, but life is thin as paper!"

Marquis Yongning reached out and tore the notebook into pieces.

"Before I left the mansion and entered the palace, didn't I tell you to follow the family rules?"

"You didn't..."

The wife of the Marquis of Yongning explained, "I have beaten him, I have beaten him."

"Fight again!" Marquis Yongning said coldly.

"No one can bear the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"My Lord, I really did beat him." The wife of Marquis Yongning's voice trembled.

"Fight again!"

After thirty blows of the stick, even the strong man grimaced in pain.

How could a weak woman like Lu Minghui have the leisure to read storybooks?

Lanxiyuan is in chaos again.

Lu Minghui's screams were like the sound of a pig being slaughtered, echoing throughout the Yongning Marquis's Mansion.

The startled birds in the bamboo forest of the Cuiyuan flapped their wings and flew high, their green bean-like eyes rolling around, scanning everything around them.

Lu Mingchao held the golden scissors and cut off the overly lush and dense branches of flowers in the white porcelain vase.

With a click, the branches fell on the table.

Lu Mingchao chuckled and said, "It seems that the early morning court of Marquis Yongning is in dire straits and not as expected."

She thought that the man on the dragon throne would only give a light reprimand after learning about the Yongning Marquis's sensible and decisive way of handling the matter.

I don’t know what happened to Lord Lerong.

By the way, she hasn't yet completed the task entrusted by County Lord Lerong.

"Amber, Amber."

"Ma'am, Amber is here."

"Do you have a brother who looks like you?"

"I have a twin brother."

"Does he need a wife?"

…

Lerong County Mayor: ???

she?

She is fine.

After all, she is the granddaughter of Princess Yongming.

How could His Majesty and the Queen allow her to kneel outside the palace gate and embarrass herself?

When Marquis Yongning was still being impeached by Ming Yushi, she was in the harem palace, eating sweet and soft cakes and drinking sweet tea, and also eating some fresh fruits that were tributed from all over the country.

After eating and drinking their fill, they lazily waited for the emperor to leave court.

Of course, she also had to wait for her grandmother and mother to pick her up.

After all, it was really too arrogant and domineering to whip the eldest lady of the Yongning Marquis's mansion with a whip in the middle of the night in front of the Yongning Marquis.

Even if there are reasons for it, we still have to listen to the teachings of love.

I hope she won't be banned.

As for punishing her to copy things like "Female Rules" and "Female Precepts",

Just punish him, there is someone to write for him anyway.

Just don't restrain her feet!

She also wants to invite Ming Xia and Lu Ming Chao to go to Qufeng Mountain to appreciate the blooming flowers.

Alas, I wonder if Lu Mingchao has helped her find out!

She is about the same age as Lu Mingchao. It doesn't make sense that she is still single while Lu Mingchao is already pregnant.

The Queen, who looked tired, saw that Lerong County Lord frowned, so she forced herself to be alert and asked in a gentle voice, "What are you thinking about, Lerong?"

Le Rong blurted out, "I'm thinking about handsome men."

Queen: ...
