Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Minglan: "They are treated like men in Qingfeng Hall, which is rougher than ordinary female servants. Second brother treats them kindly. If they see that Second brother's family is in trouble, they will fight bravely. If Second brother chooses to be a military officer, I think they will all wear armor and fight for Second brother!"

The master and servant couldn't help laughing when they thought of that scene.

Gu Tingye had come around behind them at some point, and after hearing this, he said with a sigh:

"If your second brother hears this, you'll be in trouble!"

Minglan was startled, turned around and saw that it was Gu Tingye, and stammered: "You, you, you...how could you eavesdrop!"

"I, I, I...I just happened to pass by." Gu Tingye deliberately imitated her.

Shitou was trying to hold back his laughter.

"Well, well, well... at least make a sound!"

"I, I, I... I have spoken out loud, haven't I?"

Xiaotao finally couldn't help laughing along with Shitou.

Minglan glared at Gu Tingye angrily, but after a while, she couldn't hold it in anymore and started laughing too.

The four of them burst into laughter.

After calming down, Gu Tingye asked Minglan: "Why didn't you change your clothes?"

Minglan looked down at herself, then looked up and blinked at Gu Tingye: "These are all evidence of my crime."

Gu Tingye bared his teeth and said, "You little fox, you pretend to be harmless and just make Changbai angry."

Minglan turned her face away: "It's the same for me. My second brother has also learned a lot from you."

The two of them turned their heads to look at the dusty Wei Rui Xuan:

"It's not easy for my second brother!"

“It’s not easy for Changbai!”

Gu Tingye stared silently at Molan being tied up like a dumpling by wolf hair circles, and asked Minglan thoughtfully: "You reminded me of so many things, didn't you expect that something would happen to your father?"

Minglan let out a long sigh, "I can't predict everything. For example, I reminded you to beware of Man Niang and pushed her to my second brother, but I didn't expect that Man Niang would harm my third brother and give birth to my eldest grandson. I reminded you to beware of your eldest brother, but I didn't expect your father to protect him to that extent, and I didn't expect that this time your family would lose the title. Things are unpredictable, and I can only protect the few people I care about. As for the others, I'll just leave it to fate."

Gu Tingye immediately put himself in the shoes of the one who was cared for, and smiled brightly, saying, "Your father is also confused. He doesn't know how to cherish such a good daughter."

Minglan listened to Gu Tingye praising her, lowered her head and smiled shyly, saying: "He is different from your father. Your father was really confused, his true love was misplaced, and he was deceived. But my father can see everything clearly, but he just wants to make himself happy. He doesn't care so much about the life and death of his family members. He only gets anxious when something that is most important to him is touched."

Gu Tingye: "The most important thing... Lin Xiaoniang's family?"

Minglan chuckled: "My father is the kind of person who would put friendship first?"

"what is that?"

"Of course it's his interests. His official position, his future, his face. Apart from these, nothing else matters."

"You see your father very clearly."

"My father did not try to hide anything. I was just a bystander."

"Seeing everything so clearly...wouldn't it be a bit desolate?"

"I have my own place to keep warm. My grandmother, my mother, my younger brother, my second brother, my older sister, so many people, why should I waste my time on a heart of stone?"

"That's right! You still have me!"

Minglan said with disdain, "You? You don't even have a title. I don't like you."

Gu Tingye was anxious at the time: "You heartless little fox, that's not what you said before!"

"You said I was heartless, so I will be heartless, to avoid being criticized for nothing."

"you dare!"

"I dare you! I'll ask my elder sister to find me some young men from earl or marquis families to meet."

"I'll ask your second brother to lock you up and not show you to anyone!"

"My second brother is going to enter the Imperial Academy soon, so he doesn't have time to mess around with you."

"I'm going to Yuzhou soon too! Just wait, I'll come back to take care of you after I get my title back!"

At this point, the two of them suddenly fell silent.

Minglan put away her joking expression and warned, "The journey ahead is dangerous, so please take care of yourself."

Gu Tingye squinted at her and said, "Now you feel heartache? Then why are you still going to see the dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts and men?"

"Look, there's no time to lose!"

"I think you are the hard-hearted little woman!"

The two started to fight.

In the distance, Ke'er, the only second-class female servant in Linqi Pavilion who did not participate in the battle, witnessed the whole process...

……

Not long after Changbai escorted everyone to the front hall, Hualan came back.

On the way, she heard Yang Hao, who came to deliver the message, saying that there was a commotion at home, and she was anxious to come and rescue Wang Ruofu. But when she arrived, she saw that the chaotic scene had been cleaned up by Changbai, and she felt relieved.

Wang Ruofu sat in the main seat, cursing; the four masters and servants of Linqi Pavilion were tied up and gagged and kneeling in the middle, crying; Changbai sat facing west on the guest seat, with a stern face.

When Hualan entered the room, Wang Ruofu immediately changed from anger to joy and said happily, "You're here!"

Changbai stood up and bowed respectfully: "Big sister."

Hua Lan nodded, and the siblings looked at each other. Hua Lan went to meet Wang Ruofu and said, "Mother, I heard that you were sick. I will help you go back to the house to rest."

"Who said that? I'm not sick, I'm fine!"

"You are ill."

"I do not have."

"You are ill."

"I don't!!!"

"You are sick! You have been looking for your father in vain, and suddenly found out that Lin was having an affair with a man outside her family. You were also besieged by the brothers and sisters of Lin Qi Pavilion. You were filled with worry and anger, and fell ill."

"I am anxious, but..."

"Madam, don't you see how pale your face is? If you don't rest, how can you serve the master when he comes back?" Madam Liu couldn't bear to watch it anymore and helped Hualan to persuade her.

The lady was still struggling, so Madam Liu stepped forward and whispered, "Are you going to give Linqi Pavilion's servant master a chance?"

"Bah!" The lady was about to curse again, but when she met Changbai's righteous gaze, she managed to hold back and said, "Okay, I'll go back and take a breath, and wait for the master to come back, and see what else you have to say!"

Changbai stayed in the main hall to guard it, while Hualan helped Wang Ruofu back to Weiruixuan.

Being with her beloved daughter, Wang Ruofu finally let go of her dignity and said with a smile: "Although I didn't crush Lin to death, I was able to beat her a few times, which was also a relief. It was to vent the anger that she had suppressed me for all these years, haha!"

"Mother, you can still laugh? You let Changfeng beat Lin, you are really crazy! Although you are his stepmother, he grew up with his biological mother. If this really goes to court, you will be reprimanded! Fortunately, my second brother stopped you in time and prevented you from making a big mistake."

"This is a rare opportunity, so I naturally want to get rid of that evil woman Lin, so that life in the courtyard will be easier. Besides, this is what your grandmother wanted!"

Hua Lan: "Yes, that was what grandma meant. She asked you to keep a close eye on the family and discipline the servants, but she didn't let you do this. You sent people to keep an eye on Lin, and you caught her selling land privately, which is good, but even if you caught her doing something wrong, you should deal with the matter according to the law. How can you use a son to beat his mother and go against human ethics? If grandma had dealt with that Lin, she wouldn't have gotten into this situation. Just wait and see, this time that Lin has been caught, and when father comes back, she will have a lot to do."

"What's the fuss? The mistress is in charge of the inner house. If she is suspected, can't I investigate? Even if the investigation is wrong, her children shouldn't come to besiege my yard, and she shouldn't insult the old lady! Changbai said that they, Linqi Pavilion, have committed five major crimes this time, and they will be punished. Even if the master comes back, he can't do anything to me."
