Chapter 160 Undercurrent

In April, the sky is blue and open, white clouds are growing freely in the sky like mountains, and a breeze blows by, and there is a rustling sound all over the mountains and fields.

This is a good time for hunting. From time to time, luxury cars like BMWs drive by on the mountain roads. Farmers in Zhongnan Mountain are no longer surprised by this.

At the foot of Nanshan Mountain, in a flat area surrounded by barriers, ladies in gorgeous clothes were walking around, and it was very lively. Ming Yuji was asking the maid to adjust the position of the sun umbrella when she heard a voice of "Sister" from behind. Ming Huashang half ran over and said to her, "Sister, we are going to hunt in the forest. Do you want to go?"

Ming Yuji was startled for a moment, and then he looked far away and saw a group of young people in bright clothes standing at the edge of the woods, talking and laughing. There were both men and women among them. After a quick glance, Ming Yuji found Li Huazhang, Prince Yixing, Prince Linzi, the Lord of Yonghe County, and other descendants of the emperor. The rest of them were also the sons of the famous dukes and marquises in Chang'an. The recently popular female marquis Ren Yao, the heir of the most established family Xie Jichuan, and the eldest son of the Jiang'an Marquisate Jiang Ling were all among them.

Ming Yuji's eyes met Ming Huashang's, and something seemed to flash between them, but both of them looked calm, as if the younger sister was just going out hunting and came to ask her elder sister before leaving. Ming Yuji shook her head and said calmly, "I'll stay here to take care of it, and I won't go. Be careful on your way, and come back quickly."

Ming Huashang responded, wearing a clean and simple riding outfit, and ran back to the hunting team. After she returned, she said something to the people in the team, and they mounted their horses one after another and headed towards the forest.

Hunting in the mountains is different from ordinary entertainment. Once the horses run away, the formation will be scattered, and people who are not good at riding will easily be left alone. After a while, the people who were originally gathered together will be scattered into stars, disappearing into the thick green, and it will be difficult to find them.

Ming Yuji was looking at the backs of those people, lost in thought. Suddenly, a smiling voice came from behind, greeting: "Mrs. Ming."

Ming Yuji was startled and turned around quickly. Seeing the person coming, he was a little hesitant: "You are..."

The man who came was a handsome man with a fair face. His hair and face were carefully groomed. He held a folding fan in one hand and smiled at Ming Yuji in a suave manner: "I am Ji Wulang from the Changning Earl's Mansion. I have met Madam Ming."

Changning Marquis's Mansion? Ming Yuji was still covered in mist, but she still politely returned the greeting to Ji Wulang: "Greetings, my dear."

"Madam, you don't have to be polite. Just call me Wu Lang." Ji Wu Lang closed his fan with a swish and asked, "Madam, the forsythia flowers are in full bloom ahead. Shall we go take a look?"

In fact, Ming Yuji didn't want to go, but today was a banquet held by the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, and Ming Huashang was not there, so she was the only person in charge. Moreover, Ming Yuji knew that Ming Huashang and the others would not be able to return for a while, so she had an even greater responsibility to take good care of the guests and not lose face for the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion.

Ming Yuji smiled and said, "Okay, Wulang, please."

Ji Wulang's eyes lit up when he saw Ming Yuji accept the invitation. He talked a lot along the way, looking like a man who had seen a lot: "There are four seasons in one mountain, and the weather is different every ten miles. Zhongnan Mountain is colder than Chang'an, and the flowering period is later. Now the winter jasmine flowers in Chang'an have all withered, but they are in full bloom in Zhongnan Mountain."

Ming Yuji silently looked at the bright yellow four-petal flower branch in front of him and said calmly, "This is Lian Xuan."

She asked how come there were forsythia flowers in this month. What Ji Wulang called the forsythia flowers in full bloom was actually a mistake.

Ji Wulang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the tree in front of him: "This is obviously a winter jasmine..."

"The branches of the forsythia are round, hollow inside, often drooping, with darker twigs, and four petals." Ming Yuji said in a cold but firm tone, not caring about the face of the people walking with him. Ji Wulang smiled awkwardly and said, "Mrs. Ming seems to be quite knowledgeable about wild flowers and weeds."

Ming Yuji sneered: "What's the point of studying these? If you see them more often, you will remember them naturally."

Ji Wulang's expression changed slightly. He naturally did not forget that the cold beauty in front of him, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a typical Chang'an lady's appearance, actually grew up in the countryside.

Ji Wulang paused, then quickly regained his smile and said in the same voice as before: "So that's how it is. Madam Ming is really well-informed. I admire you."

Ming Yuji remained silent. Ji Wulang thought he had concealed it very well, and as long as he didn't say it out loud, the discrimination would not exist. However, when he heard the reaction of the villagers at that moment, he knew that he could not deceive anyone.

During this period, almost everyone had this expression when they saw her. While they looked down on her, how could she look down on these lazy and ignorant men?

With arms that thin, he probably doesn't have as much strength as her. If Ji Wulang were thrown back to their hometown, he would be fed to wolves in just three days, considering his eyesight, which can even confuse Huaihua with Lian Xuan.

Ming Yuji had never learned the ways of the nobles. She immediately turned cold when she was in a bad mood, not caring whether Ji Wulang could save face or not. Ji Wulang was a little embarrassed and said something to make conversation: "Just now I saw Madam Ming Er and Prince Yong went hunting, why didn't Madam Da go?"

Ming Yuji was very frugal with words and said calmly, "I don't want to go."

Ji Wulang seemed to have found a breakthrough, and smiled as he approached her and said, "Madam, are you worried about not being able to ride a horse? Don't worry, I'm a decent rider, and I can teach you."

Ming Yuji raised his eyes, glanced at him coldly, and said, "To be honest, I have been in Beidu for some time and learned horsemanship from the Turks. If Mr. Ji Wu is interested, we can bring the horses over now and compare them."

Taiyuan, the northern capital, was where the Duke of Tang started his career. The area was a mixture of Han and Hu people. After the Tang Dynasty was founded, it fought with the Turks several times. Finally, the nine Turkic clans attached themselves to the Tang Dynasty and lived scattered in the area north of Taiyuan. Ming Yuji had been to many places in Jinyang and had learned to be penny-wise, quarrel with street women, and dare to hit the heads of small hooligans with a wooden stick. In such a place, if you are not a little tough, you can't survive.

She has seen many women struggling to make a living at the bottom of society, so she particularly hates men who are superior to her and say "I'll teach you." She firmly believes that there is a price behind any gift, and a man's kindness is a bottomless pit that seems to be free.

Ming Yuji confronted him, and Ji Wulang was embarrassed at first, and then filled with anger. He was the second son of the Earl of Changning, and even though the Earl of Changning's mansion had declined slightly in recent years, there were still many women who threw themselves at him. He was always successful in the romantic world, so when had he ever tried to please a woman so attentively?

He took the initiative to lower himself, but this woman was so...unmannered. Ji Wulang also looked cold, trying to maintain his noble demeanor, saying "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first", and turned around and walked away.

The maid of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion saw Ji Wulang walking away angrily, and ran over in fear: "Madam..."

"It's okay." Ming Yuji didn't care. She looked at the wild and blooming lian xuan, pinched off the extra branches for them, and said calmly, "Thank you, winter jasmine, go back."

Ming Yuji didn't want to face those insincere social activities, so she walked around for a while before going back. When she passed through a grove of trees, she vaguely heard a voice coming from behind: "Didn't you go to fish for that village girl who just came back from the Duke of Zhen's Mansion? Why are you back?"

Ming Yuji immediately stopped and signaled the maid to keep quiet. The people inside were unaware that someone was outside, and the conversation continued. A familiar voice said regretfully, "Don't mention it. I saw that she was pretty, so I thought I would give in and put up with the smell of dirt on her body. I didn't expect her to have such a bad temper. Even if she had a lot of wealth and the beauty of Chang'e, no one could stand this kind of woman."

"Really? Is there a woman in this world that Ji Wulang can't get?" The other men asked for details. Ji Wulang exaggerated the conversation just now. After listening to it, the other men shook their heads and said, "No, women can't get used to it. If she is like this before she gets married, how can she be okay after she gives birth to a child?"

Another shrill voice said, "How did the Duke of Zhenguo raise his daughter? His eldest daughter just came back from the countryside and she doesn't know how to behave. Why did he let her go out instead of finding a nanny to take care of her?"

"You don't know this." The man who spoke first said, "Duke Zhenguo didn't have a son in order to protect Prince Yong. Such a great favor, shouldn't the royal family compensate him well? His little daughter and Prince Yong were raised as a dragon and phoenix. I heard that they slept in the same bed when they were young. There is no mistress to look after her in the Ming family. If she doesn't marry Prince Yong, who will dare to marry her in the future? Haven't you seen her always following Prince Yong's actions these days? It seems that Duke Zhenguo intends to promote a Princess of Yong. In the future, Prince Yong will be both an adopted son and a son-in-law, and he will be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life. With a little daughter who is a princess, it doesn't matter who the eldest daughter marries."

The maid was angry when she heard this, but Ming Yuji raised her hand to stop the maid's movements. She listened to every word quietly. Ji Wulang said, "For the sake of the relationship with Prince Yong, it's okay to marry a country bumpkin. But her temper is too bad, it's a pity for her face. Women, it's better to be gentle and considerate."

Another man advised: "It's just a plaque. If you really can't stand it, give her a yard and send her away, and just make her a few close friends."

The man inside smiled knowingly, and then started talking about which brothel in Pingkangfang had a new Hu Ji, and which courtesan had the best skills. The maid blushed, not knowing whether she was angry or embarrassed. Ming Yuji pushed aside the leaves, glanced inside, and turned away.

After they came out, the maid followed Ming Yuji and said hesitantly, "Madam, those are the most useless and dissolute young men in Chang'an. It's impossible to get ivory out of a dog's mouth. Don't be angry..."

Ming Yuji came back to his senses, smiled at the maid, and said, "It's okay. I know what they said. I have heard much worse words than this. There is nothing to be angry about."

侍女不相信明雨霁真的不在意，她觑着明雨霁臉色，小心翼翼道：“娘子，那些渾話您聽過就算了，莫往心裏去。國公雖然縱着二娘子，但對您也是真心的，您千萬別和二娘子生芥蒂。”

明雨霁輕輕一笑，低不可聞道：“我知道。”

這段時間明華裳帶着她頻繁出入各家宴會，明雨霁很快學會了繁複的禮服怎麽穿，該在什麽時候說什麽話，用什麽禮。她被貴族階級快速同化，熟稔地和各家夫人小姐交談問好，從外表上看，她和那些天生長在長安的貴族小姐仿佛已沒有區別。

然而，隐性的天塹卻像棋格一樣，将她牢牢困住。明雨霁知道季五郎那些人說的是事實，無論她本人如何，在長安官宦世家眼裏，她就是一個粗鄙無禮的鄉野蠻婦。

她也不乏遇到些向她示好的郎君，然而這些男人對她微笑時，看到的都不是她本人。

鎮國公無子，肯定會給女兒準備巨額嫁妝，娶了她就能得到鎮國公府一半的財産。而且明雨霁有一個很有可能嫁入雍王府的妹妹，如果能和雍王做連襟，等李家歸位後，何愁不能平步青雲？

他們不是沖着錢，就是沖着權，沒有一個是因為明雨霁這個人。

宴會主場很快到了，明雨霁都能嗅到前方的香粉味。她不由停下腳步，緩慢環顧四周。

男男女女穿着寬大華麗的衣服，三五成群散落在花叢中，侍女端着金樽美酒，穿梭在各處。每個人都在笑，聲音得體而含蓄，仿佛置身人間仙境。

如此盛大的宴會，明雨霁卻覺得荒涼。她驟然生出種虛幻感，難道此後，她要一直這樣活着嗎？

明雨霁恍神的功夫，裏面的人已經看到她了。一位小姐親昵地拉住明雨霁的手，撒嬌道：“明大娘子，我們打葉子戲還缺一個人，你快來。”

明雨霁強忍住抽手的沖動，笑道：“我不會打。”

小姐臉上笑容微僵，似乎才想起來明雨霁從鄉下回來，随即無懈可擊地笑道：“沒事，我也不會打，上手就會了。”

明雨霁被強行拉到座位上，和一群她名字都叫不出來的娘子們打葉子戲。她沒有說謊，确實不會打這些消遣玩意，但身為玄枭衛暗線，還是監察部門的精英，她有一個優點，那就是記性好。

連輸了兩把後，明雨霁記住了規則，第三把不輸不贏，從第四把開始，局勢就逆轉了。另外幾個娘子連續被碾壓了五把，臉色都有些不好看了。

一個娘子笑了笑，說：“明大娘子真會開玩笑，你玩得這麽好，先前還騙我們不會打。”

“确實不會打。”明雨霁如實說，“剛剛學的。如果我會，之前那兩把就不會輸。”

娘子們賠笑，眼看這局又要輸了，其中一個人扔下牌，搖着扇子道：“好熱呀。那些狩獵的人去哪兒了，怎麽還不回來？”

明雨霁悠悠把手裏剩下的牌扔出去，果不其然，又是她贏了。旁邊的娘子有些氣不順，問：“明大娘子，都這麽久了，怎麽不見二娘子？”

明雨霁眼神都不變，淡淡道：“她跟着平南侯狩獵去了。我不想去，就沒跟着她。”

桌上的女娘們低低應了聲，彼此交換視線，心照不宣地換了話題。她們自認為這樣做很高明，明雨霁卻想翻白眼。

似乎所有人都覺得她在嘴硬，分明是她融不入那個頂層圈子，卻說自己不想去。事實上，明雨霁還真不想去。

貴族以狩獵為樂，可惜作為一個在鄉下長大的孩子，她實在不覺得打獵有什麽好玩的。而且，那些人也不是去打獵。

前段時間明華裳悄悄和她說了李華章的打算，明雨霁覺得李華章一定瘋了，但想想其實也不意外。

曾經的狼王一日日衰老，逐漸力不從心，狼群中遲早會有一場争鬥，來确立新的狼王。

明雨霁并不意外李家想推翻女皇，她只是意外，他們竟然會将此事告訴她。要知道，她可是玄枭衛成員，并且分屬監察組。

這就好比小偷進店後告訴掌櫃他要偷東西了，通緝犯拿着懸賞和官差商量你要幫我保密，一樣離譜。

如果她還是蘇雨霁，她一定會毫不猶豫舉報雙璧有意謀反，并試圖策反玄枭衛內部成員，但現在她也姓明。

她的生父牢牢和章懷太子綁定，她的妹妹看起來對李華章情根深種。她不信忠君愛國、臣為君死那一套，她堅信世上最高尚的情懷是活着，最重要的人是她的家人。無論皇帝是誰，都和她無關，但如果皇帝是李家人，她的父親和妹妹似乎會更高興一些。

明雨霁只能默許，假裝不知道明華裳、李華章借着宴會的名義吸納政變人手，假裝不知道那些人上山打獵是幌子，真正目的是甩開人群，在林間密談。她像個睜眼瞎一樣，坐在山下和一群蠢貨打葉子戲，保證明華裳、李華章的密談不被打擾。

女皇賜予玄枭衛特權，明雨霁也替女皇做了不少事，她并不欠女皇的。但是，在她和蘇行止最艱難的時候，唯一對他們伸出援手的就是女皇。她給了他們安身之地，教給他們自保之力，還引蘇行止入仕，這份恩情，是無論如何無法否認的。

明雨霁沒有那麽大的志向，她不想思考女皇是不是暴君，李家是不是逆賊，她只想讓自己身邊的人好好活着。

不參與他們的行動，不幫助他們反叛女皇，是她作為一個玄枭衛，最後的堅持了。

至于這些融不進上層圈子，連長安即将變天都一無所覺，只能靠羞辱地位低的人來獲取優越感的季五郎們，明雨霁實在不想浪費力氣。一群廢子而已，随他們去吧。

明雨霁百無聊賴打發時間，上山“狩獵”那些人終于回來了。原本死水一樣的宴會場立馬活躍起來，許多人簇擁上去，明雨霁沒有上前湊熱鬧，她站在外圍，不動聲色掃過那些人的馬。

獵物有多有少，這很正常，但對某些人來說，以他們的騎術卻幾乎顆粒無收，就太稀奇了。明雨霁心裏啧了聲，心想這群人的僞裝技術有待提高，就這麽一照面，她已經猜出來李華章拉攏了那些人了。

明華裳從人群中擠出來，蹦蹦跳跳來找明雨霁：“姐姐，我回來啦！”

相比于明華裳的熱情，明雨霁的情緒就內斂很多。她只是淡淡點頭，等明華裳走近後，漫不經心道：“今日你打了多少獵物？”

明華裳愣了下，眼睛中閃過迷惑，但還是很快接話道：“沒多少，我騎術不好，連兔子都追不上。”

明雨霁應了聲，不再問了。明華裳本能覺得明雨霁的問題不對勁，江陵會說廢話，但以明雨霁的性情，她不想說話就不會說，不可能無的放矢。明華裳回頭朝馬隊看去，留意到馬匹後面的獵物時，微微一怔，恍然大悟。

百密一疏，他們竟然忘了做戲做全套，看來下次得注意。

女皇已露出明确地立李征兆，李家的王爺們一下子成了長安的香饽饽，剛露面就被人團團圍住。李華章只是一不留神，明華裳就不見了，他借着身高優勢往外望，在邊緣看到了明華裳和明雨霁。

在不搭理人這一點，她們姐

妹倒是出奇的一致，李華章心裏輕輕嘆了口氣，認命地主動去找。

李華章如今在長安風頭正熱，在他還是明華章時，他不服從長官，屢次頂撞上級，在朝廷裏評價并不好，許多人都覺得他恃才傲物、不通人情世故。但當他成了雍王後，同樣的事情立刻口碑翻轉，恃才傲物成了能力卓絕，不通人情世故成了為國為民、不拘小節。

京兆府有李華章在，根本沒有不長眼的人去當京兆尹，李華章理所應當地接手了京兆府實權。他下令重啓陳年案卷，整頓京兆府風氣，立規矩有命案必破，不拘一格降人才。

這樣一個人，明明光靠雍州這塊封地和章懷太子的美名就足夠他揮霍一輩子了，他還要不斷內卷立功，真是不給人活路。

如果李重潤還在，兩人尚且能争一争誰的身份更尊貴，但太子唯一的嫡子已死，李華章成了當之無愧的皇族第一人，想讨好他的人不計其數。李華章剛有動作，其餘人的視線就彙聚過來，只見他穿過人群，徑直走到站得最遠的兩人面前，問：“你們怎麽站在這裏？”

明雨霁挑挑眉，問：“不然呢，我們應該去迎接你嗎？”

後方衆人愕然，這個女子好大的膽子，竟敢這樣和雍王說話？然而李華章脾氣卻很好，好聲好氣解釋道：“我不是這個意思，我只是擔心冷落了你們兩人。今日一切可順心？”

明雨霁掃了眼前方人群，說：“應當是順心的吧。”

李華章眉梢微動，聽到了某些不尋常：“應當？”

Ming Yuji's eyes were cold and clear, and he said, "Yes, because I don't know if it is normal for someone to say that the Ming family is asking for a favor and forcing His Royal Highness Prince Yong to repay the Ming family."

Li Huazhang and Ming Huashang were both startled. Li Huazhang's face obviously turned cold. He turned around and scanned the crowd. The people who were talking and laughing suddenly fell silent. Li Huazhang turned around and asked with obvious suppressed anger: "Who said that?"

Ming Yuji glanced at Ji Wulang and others with pale faces. Obviously, he had realized that Ming Yuji had heard their conversation. Ming Yuji sneered and said, "I can't remember the specific people, so King Yong doesn't have to take it to heart. It's just that I have a bad temper and I can't help but say some things. I haven't learned etiquette and don't understand the concept of virtue. If others point fingers at me, it's fine if they are telling the truth, but if they are making up stories, I will have to scold them in person. Especially speculating about innocent women is not what a respectable person should do, King Yong, don't you think?"

Li Huazhang's eyes darkened. Someone actually said something about Shang Shang? No wonder Ming Yuji didn't look at him well.

Li Huazhang took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "I was inconsiderate, and you are right. I always feel that this is a matter between me and the Duke of Zhenguo, and there is no need to tell others, but if anyone dares to point fingers at Second Lady, I will never tolerate it. The Duke of Zhenguo is like my biological father in my heart, and you two are like my brothers and sisters. I do intend to ask the Duke of Zhenguo to marry Second Lady, but I have always felt that I am not ready, so I dare not tell the Duke. Today is a good opportunity to talk about it, and I hope that my eldest sister can help me say a few good words to the Duke. If I can marry Second Lady, it will be the luck of my life."

Li Huazhang said these words to Ming Yuji and Ming Huashang, but his voice was clear and firm, and his words made a loud sound, obviously speaking to the group of people behind him. Ming Huashang was caught off guard and exposed in front of everyone, and she felt bad all over. Ming Yuji glanced at the shy Ming Huashang and said reluctantly: "Okay, I will tell my father. However, although Prince Yong is a noble, our Zhenguo Mansion does not want to be a vine that clings to the powerful. If Second Lady is not willing, please ask Prince Yong to find another good wife."

"There is no better woman than Er Niang." This time, Li Huazhang's eyes were filled with truth and sincerity, and he said seriously, "If it weren't for Er Niang, I would have planned to remain single for the rest of my life. I should thank Er Niang for what I have today. If she is willing to marry me, I will be honored."

Ming Yuji was satisfied with Li Huazhang for once. As she said, she had no intention of arguing with Ji Wulang and other idiots. After all, it was true that she came from the countryside and had a bad temper, but they should never, ever speculate about Ming Huachang with those dirty thoughts.

Ming Yuji held back her anger after hearing those words, but she knew that Ji Wulang was just a small fry at best. Without them, there would be another group of gossipers. The real root of the matter was Li Huazhang.

He is the king, they are the subjects, he is the brother, they are the sister, he is the man, they are the woman. If Li Huazhang does not express his opinion, what practical use will Ming Yuji have even if he teaches Ji Wulang a lesson?

Fortunately, Li Huazhang has a good attitude and is willing to solve problems. When encountering problems, his first reaction is to listen and negotiate, instead of blaming them for losing face. If Ming Huashang likes such a person, it's okay to just be with him.

As for whether the Li family agrees or not, and what the palace will think, that is Li Huazhang's business. Since he wants to marry Ming Huashang, he should take care of his own family affairs and not cause trouble for Ming Huashang. If he can't handle it well, then don't marry her.

Ming Yuji nodded calmly, turned to Ming Huashang and said, "Let's go, it's time to go home."

Ming Huashang's head was buzzing, and she didn't know how she walked out of that place and sat on the carriage. When the carriage started, she seemed to wake up from a dream, and her cheeks suddenly flushed.

Ming Huashang thought of Jiang Ling, Ren Yao and the others who were there just now, and wailed, covering her face and said, "It's over, I can't face anyone anymore."

Ming Yuji glanced at her and said, "I just remembered it now. I have never seen a fool like you who would risk his life for him but not want any promises."

"I believe him." Ming Huashang leaned against the carriage, recalling the scene just now. Although it was embarrassing, she couldn't control the smile on her face. "I know who he is. There are some things that don't need to be told to outsiders."

Ming Yuji nodded. Okay, she got it. She was an outsider. She reminded him coldly, "Every woman feels that she has met the right person when she falls in love, and that she can trust that person, but in the end, there are many who are deceived and their families are broken up. Their family is especially dangerous, so you should be more careful."

"I know." Ming Huashang moved to Ming Yuji's side and hugged her arm without saying anything. "I know that my sister is doing this for my own good. You are the one who speaks hard but is soft-hearted. Don't worry, our family will be together and our lives will get better and better."

Ming Yuji's whole body stiffened after being hugged by the arm, but this feeling was not exactly the same as being hugged by an unfamiliar woman at a banquet. She didn't dare to move half of her body, and after a while, she pushed Ming Huashang's hand away with disgust: "Go sit over there, it's too hot."

Ming Huashang responded obediently and sat up straight, but she didn't move away. She still stayed beside Ming Yuji and asked, "Sister, have you considered what kind of husband you want to find in the future?"

Husband? Ming Yuji's face gradually faded as she thought of the people who had shown kindness to her during this period. She said in a cold tone, "I haven't thought about it. I don't need it. With this little time, I might as well think about what to do with the affairs of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

Ming Huashang nodded and asked, "That's true. By the way, why haven't you seen Brother Su for a while? He has taken care of you for many years and is like a half-brother to me. Why don't you ask him to come out with you?"

Ming Yuji glanced at her with a strange look on his face: "You want to get him involved in your affairs?"

"No, no." Ming Huashang denied it helplessly, "I just wanted him to move around. It would be a pity if we lose contact like this."

"Oh." Ming Yuji responded calmly, saying nonchalantly, "I sent him an invitation, but he didn't come. There's no need to invite him in the future."

Ming Huashang looked at Ming Yuji's expression. If she really didn't care, she wouldn't have been angry when she talked about her husband just now. Ming Huashang didn't say much, still smiling and said: "Okay, then I'll send him an invitation next time and invite him to visit my house. It just so happens that I also have some cases that I want to ask him for advice."

Ming Yuji snorted, still unhappily saying, "Don't worry about him."

Ming Huashang smiled and took Ming Yuji's hand, saying seriously: "That won't work. I need him to solve the case. If the file is returned by the procuratorate, then my work will be in vain."
