The "Husband" was very soft and soft, Ming Tan felt something was wrong after shouting, she was dazed for a while, she blushed, pinched her earlobe embarrassedly, and buried her head in a panic.

With Jiang Xu's skill, he didn't need weapons at all, and these gangsters couldn't get close to him, but when he heard the "husband", he also stopped for a moment. His sword stabbed straight at him. The blade of the sword reflected the scorching sun at noon, reflecting extremely dazzling white light.

Jiang Xu didn't move, didn't raise his eyes, and when the tip of the sword was only an inch away from him, he was forced to stop—

He put **** together on the thin sword blade, obviously he didn't use any force, but the gangster who held the sword seemed to use all his strength to push forward, the sword body trembled slightly, and suddenly folded, long The sword was snapped, Jiang Xu pushed his palm, and the gangster was shaken to fly far away before he got close, and fell to the ground on his back, throwing up dust!

Jiang Xu's accompanying dark guards are also first-class masters.

It took less than half a cup of tea to enter the arena to deal with these gangsters. It was as if the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, neat and ruthless.

Jiang Xu glanced at the survivors left behind, and ordered: "Take it down."

The two hidden guards took the lead, carried them away, and quickly disappeared. A few other hidden guards didn't need to be ordered, and went straight to clean up the corpses.

The situation changed so quickly that everyone seemed to have not recovered from the fright. Mrs. Pei was also quite shocked, her face turned pale, supported by the girl, she got off the carriage tremblingly, with one hand still covering her heart .

But when she got out of the carriage and saw Ming Tan was still held in Jiang Xu's arms, she seemed to be dazed again, and almost couldn't stand still.

My goodness! What is this doing?

Ming Tan is a married girl!

"Many, thank you for your help, little girl—"

Hearing Pei's voice, Ming Tan regained his senses in shock, and hurriedly withdrew from Jiang Xu's arms.

However, although the belt was half loose, it was still wrapped around her waist. She blushed so much that her fingertips were burning hot. She hadn't untied it for a long time, and it kept getting more and more messy. Jiang Xu lowered his eyes and glanced at her long and With trembling eyelashes, he directly tore off the sleeve end of the drawstring.

All the long belts fell on Ming Tan's body, she took half a step back, bowed her head, and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life."

Your Highness?

Pei Shi suddenly collected himself.

Earlier in the Daxiangguo Temple, she accompanied the two wives of Fengchunhou's Mansion and Li Siye's Mansion to chat, offered incense and unwrapped the lottery, and heard the girl behind her report that the fourth lady and her party met Ding in the back mountain. His Royal Highness the King of the North... Could it be that the one in front of you is His Royal Highness the King of Dingbei, their famous God of War?

She looked at Ming Tan.

Ming Tan understood and nodded slightly.

Mrs. Pei hurriedly saluted: "My concubine, Mrs. Pei, has met the prince, and the prince is blessed and safe. Thank you for saving my life."

"Ma'am, you are very polite." Jiang Xu bowed slightly.

It is His Royal Highness King Dingbei.

What a blessing in misfortune!

Mrs. Pei's original heart fell back to the original place, but she didn't know what to think of, and then bent the corners of her lips, carefully deliberating and tentatively said: "The gangster came here today very strangely, and is quite fierce. If there is no action by the prince, I am afraid that the little girl will die." There are many bad luck and bad luck. The reputation of the girl in the boudoir is the most important thing, thanks to the prince—”

Jiang Xu understood, looked straight at Mrs. Pei, and said slowly: "Madam, don't worry, this matter will not disturb the government office. The king will hand over the survivors who are brought down to the hands of the Marquis of Jing'an."

Pei laughed again: "Thank you, my lord, for your compassion."

It is not a good thing for the three women in the boudoir to go out to pilgrimage. If His Royal Highness Prince Dingbei comes out to rescue him, the fourth lady of Jing'an Houfu will hug and flirt with the prince before she even passes the door. It is inevitable that some people will criticize and criticize Ming Tan behind his back.

And she already had a feeling about this matter, if after investigation, she found out that the scandal was caused by her own family, then the Jing'an Hou's Mansion would be no different from the old Lingguo's mansion if it got into the government office, it would be a joke.

When Ming Tan returned, Mrs. Pei took Ming Tan's hand again, and said lovingly: "A Tan is shocked, don't worry, mother will definitely find out what happened today and ask you to understand."

These words were obviously meant for Jiang Xu.

Ming Tan is the princess of Dingbei who has never been married. Today, such a big trouble happened in front of His Royal Highness Dingbei. She is expressing her stance: Even if it is finally found out that the scandal was caused by her own family, she will never be wronged because of her own thoughts. To cover up and forgive.

In fact, Jiang Xu didn't care how the Jing'an Hou Mansion handled the family affairs, he just nodded and said that he still had important things to do, so he needed to take a step first, and let the dark guards **** their horses and chariots back to the mansion.

Mingchu, who was still on the carriage, looked angry and annoyed, and flashed a trace of uneasiness and panic that he hadn't noticed.

After returning to the mansion, Mrs. Pei calmly ordered: "Everyone is frightened, so go back to your own courtyard to rest first. Mama Zhang, please go to the kitchen and tell the ladies to bring a bowl of calming soup to the ladies later."

Zhang's mother should be blessed.

The three of Ming Tan were also served by maidservants, and returned to their yard.

The half day today has been full of ups and downs, and Ming Tan was indeed tired, she freshened up and washed, used calming soup again, clutched the belt and leaned on the imperial concubine's couch for a while, before falling asleep without knowing it.

Ming Tan can sleep well, but some people dare not even close their eyelids at this moment, for fear that once they close their eyes, they will never be able to open them again.

"... What are you doing to change the carriage? Isn't this telling others that you have a problem!"

Aunt Liu always spoke in a soft voice, but now she heard what Mingchu and the accompanying maids said, her blood surged, she was flustered and anxious, and she even spoke louder unconsciously.

Mingchu didn't realize how serious the matter was at all, and stubbornly refused to answer.

Aunt Liu closed her eyes and sat down with her forehead supported. She couldn't figure out why she gave birth to such an idiot as Mingchu!

She was the aunt who entered the mansion when Mrs. Bai was there. After Mrs. Bai left, Mrs. Pei continued her marriage. When Mrs. Pei's foundation in the mansion was not stable, she quietly placed someone in Lanxin Courtyard.

In fact, she didn't intend to do anything with the manpower, but it was just in case of emergency. Later, seeing that Mrs. Pei had no intention of dealing with these aunts, she was always submissive and did not interfere with the water of the well. She didn't have to use it until this time when she was planning a marriage for Mingchu.

She was already prepared to be discovered by Pei Shi with this use. It's just that she expected that this matter would not harm Pei's interests, and Pei's probably would not destroy the balance with her for many years for a Shen Hua.

It was also for this reason that she dared to take the risk and send people pretending to be gangsters to block the sinking painting and damage her reputation.

According to her plan, Mingchu should have met the second son of Li Siye's mansion smoothly. Mingchu's appearance is not bad, and when he is willing to speak well, he is more lively and pleasant than ordinary women. Even if he finally finds out that he has met the wrong person, the second son of the Li family will still have some impression of Mingchu.

With these impressions, plus Shen Hua's reputation lost after being taken into captivity for half a day, the marriage between the second son of the Li family and Mingchu will naturally go much smoother.

But who would have thought that Mingchu was so stupid that he was tricked by Shen Hua at the first step, and then he was so stupid that he changed the carriage on his own, dragging Mingtan into the water!

If Ming Chu and Shen Hua were in the same car, Shen Hua was taken captive, and Ming Chu knew martial arts, no one would suspect that he escaped, and Ming Tan and the Pei family would not be offended. Only a distant cousin living here was lost, how could Mrs. Pei investigate deeply.

It's all ruined now.

She took such a big risk for her good daughter's thoughtful marriage, and it was completely ruined by her good daughter's stupidity!

When Ming Tan woke up, it was already dusk.

Seeing that she had woken up, Lue stepped forward excitedly and said, "Miss, something happened to those two in Yiyun Courtyard!"

Yiyun Courtyard is the courtyard of Aunt Liu.

Did something happen to Aunt Liu and Mingchu?

Ming Tan faintly guessed something, as if he hadn't woken up yet, he said in a lazy voice: "Make up, let's join in the fun."

Sitting in front of the dowry, Ming Tan regained consciousness. Looking left and right in front of the bronze mirror, she changed her mind again: "Forget it, it's better to be this plain and pale."

By the way, she picked out a plain dress and went to Lanxin Courtyard with her green calyx and plain heart.

At this moment in the Flower Hall of Lanxin Garden, Ming Tingyuan and Mrs. Pei are sitting at the top, Aunt Liu is kneeling on the ground crying pear blossoms with rain, while Mingchu is standing stubbornly, her eyes are red.

The Pei family has been managing the inner courtyard for many years, so they already have some skills. There are some things that she turns over casually on weekdays, because she doesn't want to pursue it, but today she wants to investigate it, and it only took one afternoon to find out the matter clearly.

Who was the culprit assigned, where did they come from, who were An's eyeliners in Lanxinyuan, and what did they do, all were laid out in front of Ming Tingyuan's eyes, clearly. Even beside Ming Tingyuan, a nail planted by Aunt Liu was found.

As for why Aunt Liu had so much private money to find someone to do things with, and whether she had accepted bribes in the name of Lord Hou on Yangxi Road, Mrs. Pei only showed the account books that she had found, but did not go into details.

When Ming Tingyuan first heard about this, he was furious!

However, after Aunt Liu was detained, she didn't have any sophistry, she just cried in the rain, taking all the faults on herself, and said that all kinds of things to herself were just love for her daughter, how did the Marquis and his wife treat her? She can do anything, but Mingchu is from the blood of the Hou family, and she is young, so she hopes that Lord Hou and his wife can be punished lightly.

Mingchu also admitted everything, but she made another gesture of being stubborn and unwilling to shed tears. Standing and complaining, she said that since returning to Beijing, her father treated her worse than before, and recalled that when she was on Yangxi Road, her father took her to ride a horse, took her to pick fruits in the mountains and forests, and took her to the military camp to see Soldiers performing martial arts... There is a bit of sadness in the words.

The two came up together like this, Ming Tingyuan was a little uncertain.

After all, he has been together day and night for five years, and he does have some feelings for the two of them, and the two of them are just looking for a better marriage, and the intention is not to hurt Ming Tan, and now all kinds of things have not caused any irreversible consequences . He pondered for a while, thinking that it would be fine if the two of them were sent to the nunnery to meditate for a while.

When Ming Tingyuan was discussing with Pei's family, Ming Tan had already stepped into Lanxin Courtyard with half a foot, and coincidentally, Shen Hua also rushed over from Fenghe Courtyard.

Ming Tan was about to talk to Shen Hua, when she suddenly remembered something, she subconsciously blurted out, "It's broken!"

Lue was stunned: "Miss, what's wrong?"

Shen drew it clearly, and gestured to the maidservant behind him.

The maid hurried forward and handed over a Supa.

"I think the fourth sister was in a hurry to go out, so she forgot to bring her handkerchief." Shen Hua covered her lips and said softly, "The garlic juice has a slightly stronger taste, and the pepper water has a lighter taste."

"..."

Ming Tan took the handkerchief and sniffed it.

Very good, as expected of her former opponent.
