Someone Is Coming
Gu Ling told Lao Mu that he was going out to do errands at night and asked Lao Mu to go to Yuanming Pavilion to watch Su Liang and the three children.
So Lao Mu moved to Yuanming Pavilion to sleep. In the study, he slept on the lower bunk, while Ji Xiaoshu and Zheng'er slept on the upper bunk together.
Ji Xiaoshu asked Lao Mu to tell them a story, and Lao Mu vividly told a "fan-selling plan", which was about how Gu Ling and Su Liang used a fan to lure him to show up in Yaocheng, Liang Kingdom.
The two little guys were very fascinated. When Lao Mu said that he would make a fan from the story for each of them, they happily jumped on the bed.
Su Liang's voice came from outside, "Zheng'er, Xiaoshu, go to bed early."
The two of them said in unison, "Good night, Master!" and then lay down obediently.
Ji Xiaoshu poked his head again and looked at Old Mu below, and whispered, "Mr. Mu, when will we have fans?"
Lao Mu thought for a while and said, "Let's give it another three days."
…
Min Shangshu Mansion.
It was late at night, and Min Rui fell into a deep sleep after drinking the medicine. Mrs. Min lay on her side on the soft couch undressed and fell asleep, with the lamp always lit in the room.
Old Minister Min wanted to arrange for servants to serve Min Rui and his wife, but Mrs. Min refused to let the servants enter the room, saying she was not used to it. She had taken care of Min Rui's illness all by herself for so many years. Old Minister Min left her alone, and only arranged for his granddaughter Min Rou to have a separate yard and servants to serve her, just like her two cousins before they got married.
The sound of stones hitting the window made Mrs. Min immediately open her eyes and sit up. She took off the blanket and went to the ground. She took a look first and saw that Min Rui was still asleep.
When Mrs. Min turned around, there was already one more person in the room.
"Dad!" Mrs. Min looked delighted and took the arm of the old man in gray, "It's finally here!"
"What's the matter?" the old man in gray asked.
Mrs. Min shook her head, "There is nothing wrong with us here, everything is going smoothly, and Rou'er is fine too. Listen to dad, we didn't do anything." As she said this, Mrs. Min pulled the old man to sit down, picked up the teapot on the table, After touching it for a while and it felt cool, I put it down again.
The old man in gray clothes looked at Min Rui, "How is he?"
"He's better." There was no warmth in Mrs. Min's eyes. "Su Liang and Gu Ling have both come to treat him."
The gray-clothed old man's face was slightly condensed, "Gu Ling? Is he here to treat Min Rui?"
Mrs. Min nodded, "Yes. According to Dr. Gao, Gu Ling's medical skills are also very good, but not well known. He came to give Min Rui acupuncture today."
The old man in gray nodded slowly, "Any other discoveries?"
Mrs. Min's voice was very soft at first, but now she looked in the direction of the door. After making sure that the surroundings were quiet, she spoke again, "Didn't Dad see Su Liang's face before when he came to investigate?"
The old man in gray frowned and was silent for a moment before shaking his head, "From what you said, I have never met her face to face."
Mrs. Min sighed, "She looks a lot like Mo Liang. When I first saw her, I was shocked, as if I saw Mo Liang standing in front of me."
The expression of the old man in gray changed suddenly, "Her biological mother is unknown, and she is named Liang. Could it be that... she is Mo Liang's daughter?"
Mrs. Min nodded, "It's not impossible. Dad, we have to find a way quickly. If our adoptive father sees Su Liang, everything we have planned for so many years will be in vain!"
The old man in gray thought for a long time, "Don't act rashly and cause problems. At the moment, we must do what Mo Yan told us."
"But..." Mrs. Min looked a little anxious, "Sooner or later, my adoptive father will meet Su Liang. When the time comes, no matter how much we do for him, it will be in vain!"
The old man in gray had a cold light in his eyes, "I haven't been here tonight, and you haven't told me that Su Liang looks like Mo Yan's daughter. You don't have to do anything from now on, just live here with peace of mind, remember? ?”
Mrs. Min looked shocked, "Remember. Does dad have a plan?"
The old man in gray clothes snorted coldly, "There are various signs that Gu Ling is the person Mo Yan is looking for. I will advise Mo Yan to get rid of Su Liang's obstacle as soon as possible so that he can achieve his goal."
Mrs. Min's expression changed and she looked at the bed again. Min Rui was still lying quietly without any movement.
Mrs. Min asked the old man in gray in a low voice, "What does the adoptive father want to do when he asks me to come here this time?"
The old man in gray clothes said, "Kill Duanmu Chen."
Mrs. Min looked surprised, "Why?"
"Push Gu Ling to the emperor's position to prevent him from hiding." The old man in gray said.
Mrs. Min looked confused, "This... I really don't understand what he wants to do. Is dad going to take action himself?"
The old man in gray clothes shook his head, "No need." After saying that, he stood up and left.
…
It was dawn, and Su Liang was breastfeeding Gu Xiaonuan. Gu Ling opened the door and came in, then closed the door immediately. He held his night clothes and mask in his hands. When Su Liang looked over, he shook his head and said, "Christmas Eve."
Su Liang didn't think it was a good thing. There is a "wolf" for sure, it is better to show up early.
"Are you hungry? If not, just take a shower and go to bed. If you are hungry, eat something before going to bed." Su Liang said.
Gu Ling's eyes were staring deeply at something on Su Liang's body. Su Liang coughed lightly and said, "Master, your daughter is here, pay attention to your eyes."
"I'm hungry too." Gu Ling hinted meaningfully.
When Gu Xiaonuan was full, Gu Ling hugged her and coaxed her, then handed her over to Lao Mu.
Because they didn't know when Gu Ling would come back, Su Liang said last night that they would have breakfast at Nangong Qian's place today.
So, Lao Mu hugged one and led the other two, and left Yuanming Pavilion. And Su Liang and Gu Ling were doing "morning exercises" behind closed doors...
…
After a while, Dr. Gao came again. They had agreed with Gu Ling yesterday to go to Min's house together.
Ji Xiaoshu disguised himself as Zheng'er again and wanted to go with Gu Ling, but was rejected. Min Rui was sick, and Su Liang and Gu Ling were afraid that the disease would pass on to the child. After returning from Min's house, they would take a bath and change clothes before seeing people.
So, after Ji Xiaoshu finished his class, he followed Lin Shuzhi to Lin's house to play. For his safety, Lao Mu followed secretly.
Before Gu Ling went out, he hung his new purse around his waist. It was made by Su Liang, and there was an airplane pattern embroidered on the purse. This is a symbol for certain people to see.
Today, Gu Ling did not run into Min Rou at Min's house because she followed her aunt to visit Lin's house. Lin Boyan's wife is Min Rou's cousin.
Madam Min noticed Gu Ling's purse, but her expression was normal and she did not show any abnormality.
After Gu Ling finished acupuncture and left, Madam Min brought the boiled medicine to Min Rui.
Min Rui sat on the bed, drank a bowl of bitter medicine, and stared at Madam Min.
Madam Min looked annoyed, "What are you looking at?"
"I know you don't like me at all, you are with me just because I look like your dead lover." Min Rui looked much better than when he just returned to the Min family, but he still spoke with a little weakness.
Madam Min snorted, "Why? Now that you're back home, are you trying to act like a real man? If I hadn't saved you, you would have died out there."
Min Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You think too much. I just want to say that, in fact, I never loved you."
Madam Min's face darkened, and she heard Min Rui say, "In my life, I only love Qin Yuan, and it has never changed. If I hadn't encountered trouble and had nowhere else to go, I wouldn't have gone to that island with you."
"What a pity, your beloved Qin Yuan has died a long time ago." Madam Min snorted coldly.
"Same here." Min Rui immediately counterattacked.
"What do you want to say?" Madam Min asked coldly.
Min Rui suddenly sneered, "I heard everything you said to your father last night."
Mrs. Min's eyes became more and more gloomy. She approached Min Rui and stretched out her hand to strangle his neck, "You'd better shut up immediately and don't say another word, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Min Rui was not afraid, "You dare not kill me, your father said that there should be no unnecessary trouble. I know that if you hadn't been under your adoptive father's nose for these years, you would have gotten rid of me long ago. This time, I begged your adoptive father behind your back, saying that I wanted to die before I died. Kowtow to my father again and let Rouer recognize her ancestors. I don't know why your adoptive father agreed. Otherwise, you would not have come back with me. You probably wished that I would die of illness quickly. "
Mrs. Min's face was dark and she gritted her teeth, "What do you want?"
Min Rui snorted, "I don't want to ruin your business. After all, if you get Mo Yan's treasure, it will also be good for Rouer. However, if you want me to keep my mouth shut, you have to do something for me."
There were footsteps outside, and Mrs. Min immediately picked up the empty medicine bowl and walked to the door.
It was the old minister Min, who came to see Min Rui after sending Gu Ling away.
"Dad, you guys talk, I'll go see if the chicken soup stewed for my husband is ready." Mrs. Min smiled.
The old minister Min nodded and entered the door.
Min Rui talked to Minister Min about the current situation. Minister Min sighed deeply, "Just after the Lantern Festival, the emperor asked Marquis Zhongxin to return to Xuanbei City to take charge. It seems that the war with Liang is inevitable."
Min Rui's eyes flashed when he heard the three words "Marquis Zhongxin", but Minister Min did not notice.
After a while, Mrs. Min came back with chicken soup, and Minister Min left.
As soon as the door was closed, the warmth and concern pretended by the couple disappeared instantly.
Mrs. Min sat down by the bed with the chicken soup, but did not give it to Min Rui. She stirred it with a spoon, dispersed some of the heat, and drank it herself.
After drinking a few sips, Madam Min looked at Min Rui again, "Tell me. What do you want me to do for you?"
Min Rui said in a low voice, "Help me kill someone."
Madam Min suddenly sneered, "You want to kill Xing Ji? After so many years, you are still jealous of him? But I think it's unreasonable for you to be jealous of him. Xing Ji didn't compete with you for Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan was given to him by marriage, but the one who ordered the marriage is dead."
The more Madam Min spoke, the more sarcastic she became. Seeing Min Rui's ugly face, she seemed very happy, "To kill Xing Ji, Ji is impossible, it's too far, I can't go to Xuanbei City, you don't want to kill Qin Yuan's only son, right? "
Min Rui gritted his teeth, "Shut up! Not them!"
Mrs. Min raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Who is that?"
Min Rui said coldly, "The old man surnamed Qin!"
Mrs. Min was stunned for a moment, "You blame him for breaking up the couple? But you and Qin Yuan were not a pair of couples back then, Qin Yuan never liked you."
Min Rui stretched out his hand and grabbed Mrs. Min's neck, and the chicken soup in her hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of breaking.
But Min Rui had no strength, and was quickly pushed away by Mrs. Min, who slapped him so hard that he tilted his head and fell on the bed.
Min Rui seemed to be talking to Mrs. Min, or to himself, "We grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. She liked me, but she didn't even know she was in love at the time. My father came to propose marriage in person. But he refused without giving me any face. I went to beg him to marry Ayuan to me. I said that I would not marry Ayuan in this life, but he firmly told me to give up... As long as he nodded his head back then. , A-Yuan will marry me, and she will not be given a marriage to Xing Ji and die in depression! What do you know, you don’t understand... My life and A-Yuan’s life were all caused by that old man who was prejudiced against me. It’s all because of him!”
Mrs. Min looked coldly at Min Rui lying on the bed and scolding Mr. Qin, without saying a word.
After an unknown amount of time, Min Rui finally became calmer. He turned over and lay down, looking at Mrs. Min coldly, "Within three days, I don't care what method you use to get that old immortal to see the King of Hell. Otherwise, I will I will tell Gu Ling your secret. Anyway, Rou'er doesn't know anything, she will be fine, and I don't have any worries."
Min Rou's voice came from outside the door, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Mrs. Min leaned over and whispered coldly in Min Rui's ear, "Okay, I will find a way. You'd better not do anything you shouldn't do or say anything you shouldn't say, otherwise I will make your whole family miserable." Good to die!”
When Min Rou came in, Mrs. Min was picking up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. Min Rui sighed, "I am not careful and always cause trouble for your mother."
"Let the servants clean it up. Dad's quilt is dirty." Min Rou pulled Mrs. Min up. "I know Mom wants to take care of Dad herself, but it doesn't have to be so hard."
After she finished speaking, Min Rou noticed that there was a slap mark on Min Rui's face, and immediately frowned, "Dad's face..."
Min Rui smiled bitterly, "I did it myself. I really hate myself for being confused. I should have listened to your mother and taken you home as soon as possible."
"Dad, don't be like this. It's not too late now. My grandparents are still alive. When dad gets better, I have to be filial to them." Min Rou smiled, "I like it here. I went to see my cousin with my eldest aunt today. I'm so envious. She, the Lin family's brother-in-law, is a rare good man, and the Lin family's uncle is also very kind. By the way, Uncle Lin brought a child home today, and the child's name is Zheng'er, who is very cute. "
Mrs. Min looked calm and said, "Your father is still ill. Don't run away all the time. It will make people think that you are only interested in having fun and are not filial."
Min Rui immediately retorted, "I'm much better. Rou'er just came back. It's good to go out and walk more."
Min Rou smiled when she heard this, "Mom always does everything for dad, so I don't think there is a chance to be filial. By the way, I have to go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow to play with my second cousin. Do you have any objections from my parents?"
Mrs. Min frowned, but did not object.
When Min Rou went out, only the husband and wife were left again. Mrs. Min said coldly, "I will find an opportunity in the next two days to create an accident and help you get rid of the Qin family member. Watch your mouth, no What nonsense are you talking about to Rou'er!"
…
That night, Gu Ling entered the palace again and waited until midnight. Finally, someone came!
