After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Food Rhythm

Marquis of Changning Xie Chen and Crown Prince Xie Xuanping were waiting devoutly in a private room, feeling nervous!

"Lan'er, can you handle it this time?"

Xie Chen was making small talk. Although he was a fourth-grade cultivator, he usually would stay as far away from the evil god as possible when facing him, but today he had to face him directly, and he was very scared!

Originally, he thought his son would come alone, but when he was about to leave, he called him along, saying that only in this way could the Xie family show their sincerity!

"Father, since the young master has agreed to come and see me, he must know the whole story. As long as we are sincere enough, I believe the young master will help us once!"

Having said that, Xie Xuanping was still unsure and clenched his fists!

"You have some brains!"

A voice as cold as ice sounded, and the father and son hurriedly bowed to greet them. They saw the young master and Li Shaofucheng approaching the private room one after another!

"Young Master, Master Li, please come in!"

The father and son were unable to cope with it, so they lowered their heads very low, bent over, and stretched out their hands to make a gesture of invitation!

Zheng Zejiu didn't look at the two of them and walked straight to the private room!

Li Tongfu chuckled: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, I have invited the people for you, the rest is up to you!"

Come in and sit below the young master!

Zheng Fangshi and Li Yi, as followers of the young master and Li Tongfu, were just like two door gods standing at the door!

Xie Xuanping's smile was more sincere at this moment. He picked up the teapot on the table and added tea for the two of them. Xie Chen quickly asked someone to order the food!

After the dishes were served, Xie Xuanping poured the wine himself, and both the father and son flattered him!

After having a good meal and a good drink, seeing that the young master still had no intention of giving in, Xie Chen, after all, had been immersed in the officialdom for many years, and his face was as thick as a city wall, so he said with a smile:

"... Young Master, regarding my unfilial son, I hope you can help mediate a little!... Of course, I also know that I must be sincere in order to get Lord Wang to give in, so I have already prepared a generous gift...~"

Then Xie Xuanping came forward and took a red lacquered wooden box from the servant behind him. He opened the box, revealing a thick stack of silver bills inside!

"...Hehe...This is three thousand taels of silver. Thank you for your trouble, young master!"

Then, Xie Xuanping presented a smaller carved and gold-painted sandalwood box. When it was opened, there was a five-centimeter-sized pearl inside!

The bead is round in shape, silvery-white in color, and shiny without any lint. For a family like the Changning Marquis Mansion, this bead must have been passed down from their ancestors!

Although Xie Xuanping had no achievements in officialdom, he was an excellent observer of people's expressions. He saw that the young master's face did not change at all from beginning to end, and he did not even lift his eyelids!

But he saw a glimmer in the eyes of Lord Li who was standing beside him when he looked at the pearl, and he knew that he was somewhat confident!

He quickly signaled to his father to continue expressing himself!

Xie Chen continued to bend over, smiling:

"This is a little toy passed down from our ancestors. Young Master, take it back for the Duke's wife to play with. It's all our gift of love!"

Li Tongfu smiled brightly:

"Since it's a kind gesture, if you don't accept it, wouldn't it be a rejection of the other person's intention? I will take the initiative and accept it on your behalf!"

"You and your son should go back first and wait for news. My uncle dotes on his son the most, so he will probably have to talk to my cousin a lot!"

At this point, both the father and the son knew that the matter was settled. They felt relieved and even their smiles became more sincere. They kept agreeing that if it worked out, they would definitely thank Lord Li for his help in making the connection!

The two were about to leave when they heard the young master ask:

"I heard that the Crown Prince's wife was pushed down the stairs and broke her arm? The Changning Marquis' Mansion seems to be very lively these days..."

The father and son paused, their smiles almost gone, and they kept saying:

"I don't know who made up these rumors, young master, just listen to them!"

After the two men left, Li Tongfu stared at Zheng Zejiu as if he had seen a ghost:

"...When did you start to care about other people's inner houses...Tell me, who are you?...Are you possessed by a ghost?"

The young master had a blank expression on his face and was filled with despair inside. Who could tell him why he suddenly uttered such a long speech?

There was no ripple on her beautiful face, and she snorted:

"When did you start believing in those gods and ghosts? Hurry up and get going!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was the first to leave Shiyunxuan, followed by Li Tongfu, and behind him were Zheng Fangshi and Li Yi, each holding a box!

Besides, Lord Xie and Xie Xuanping returned home with gloomy faces!

What happened at home actually reached the ears of the young master. I wonder what the young master meant by saying this?

The two men were in a panic. If they were targeted by King Zheng, one careless move might lead to losing their official positions. They might even destroy the mansion!

The father and son did not sleep all night, and when they went to work the next day, they both had big dark circles under their eyes, and looked several years older!

Zheng Zejiu and the other person then left the restaurant and got on a carriage directly to the Wang family!

They were silent all the way, Zheng Zejiu's eyes were deep, he kept reflecting on why he said those words?

After pondering for a long time, he came to the conclusion that the young lady of the Changning Marquis's Mansion saved him, and this life-saving grace should be remembered in his heart!

It's not too much to support her out of such a great favor... Well, that's it!

By the time he got off the car, the young master had sorted out his thoughts, and his upright back became even straighter, which made Li Tongfu puzzled. He thought that there was really something wrong with this guy!

Since the youngest son of Wang Hengzhi, the Minister of State Affairs, was injured, everyone in the family has been in turmoil!

Mrs. Wang Yang Zhongling would go to see her son every day when she had nothing to do. Her eyes were red and swollen. Although she didn't cry, seeing her son suffer so much, her temper was naturally not in a good state!

Every day after returning from duty, he would go to his son's room first without even changing out of his court clothes!

Wang Jinghui is nineteen years old. Last year he married Zuo Yuanyuan, the daughter of Zuo Mingxin, a fifth-rank official of the Honglu Temple. She is a beautiful girl who looks innocent and lovely, and she has the face to bring good luck to her husband!

It’s a pity that Wang Jinghui is a rebellious boy. The more his parents ask him to be good to his wife, the more he wants to go to those brothels, which gives the two adults a headache!

At this moment, Lord Wang was accompanying Xiao Xiao and advising his wife to go back to her room to rest. Yang Zhongling glared at him and accused him:

"I told you not to indulge him. Once I taught him a lesson, you covered for him. Over the years, his temper has become worse and worse. You are also half responsible for his current fate!"

Wang Hengzhi could only laugh guiltily and signaled his eldest daughter-in-law Liu to help his mother back to her room!

Liu walked to her mother-in-law with a pleasant expression and whispered softly:

"Mother, father has been very tired from attending court, let him go and change clothes, we will be staying in this room for quite a while, let my second brother have a good rest!"

Yang Zhongling looked at her daughter-in-law, immediately became amiable, and said with a smile:

"Okay! You are taking care of the affairs of the whole family, and you still have to take time to see your uncle's injury. It's really hard. You should go back and rest!"

Then he looked at his daughter-in-law and said:

"Good boy, you don't have to stay with him all the time. There are so many maids and concubines. Tell them to do whatever needs to be done!"

"This kid is so ignorant that he makes you worry at such a young age. Your mother can't bear it!"

As he was talking, a message came from the front yard:

"Young Master Zheng and the Minister of the Imperial Household are here!"
