Li House.

Lord Li returned home from the banquet.

After sitting in the study and thinking for a long time, he called the butler to give instructions.

"I have two things to tell you.

First, send someone to Jiang’s house tomorrow morning to find out what the situation is. Tell me as soon as you get the news.

Secondly, be prepared to receive distinguished guests, and prepare some food, cakes and so on.

Remember, there must be no mistakes in food, and it must be prepared by someone you trust."

"Master, who is coming to your house?"

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. The identity of the distinguished guest is a secret. You just need to tell everyone that it's the child of one of my colleagues who is visiting."

The butler scratched his head and nodded in agreement.

Daybreak.

Nangong Jiu called Taoist Qingchen and several others and gave each of them a box of inner elixir.

“This is a birthday gift from my family in heaven.

I still have things to do, so I won't keep you here any longer. Go back to Lingyin Mountain and refine your skills. I'll contact you if there's anything.

Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing will also hurry up to finish the things at hand and refine the inner elixir."

"Thank you, Jiu Jun!"

"Thank you, Master!"

A few of them happily said hello to everyone in the General's Mansion and then left.

Nangong Yunxue looked at Nangong Jiu and said, "There are so many people accompanying me, you don't have to worry about it. Just go and do what you need to do."

"Okay, we will be away from home all day today, so please be careful."

"rest assured!"

When Nangong Jiu brought Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing to Li's residence, it was already three quarters past three in the morning.

After taking a tour around the backyard of the Li Mansion and seeing each of Mr. Li's five concubines, he had a general understanding of the situation in the Li Mansion.

Then he went to Chen's house again before returning to Li's house and finding a place to rest.

Nangong Jiu sneered.

"Lord Li is only a third-rank official, but he has five concubines. No wonder Madam Li went back to her parents' home in anger.

Lord Chen, a fifth-rank official, also has three concubines at home, each one more exquisite than the other.

The wife of the principal wife tried to persuade him, but was beaten by Master Chen, so she simply closed the door and pretended to ignore it.

Tell me, what kind of crap is this?

They are entangled with jealous women in the inner chambers every day, so how can they have the energy to do their work? "

"Your Majesty, why don't we go visit Madam Li's parents?"

"At this time, they should be returning home soon. Let's wait here. The show is about to begin."

After a stick of incense.

Lord Li hurried back home, and the housekeeper followed him to the study.

"Master, the three concubines in Lord Jiang's house were beaten to death with sticks because they killed their legitimate son and insulted their wife.

Moreover, Lord Jiang even asked for the family rules himself..."

Lord Li's mind raced: "Next, it will probably be our Li Mansion's turn. Please send someone to bring the Madam back.

Our mansion doesn’t have the troubles that the Jiang mansion has. As long as Madam comes back, nothing will happen.”

The butler agreed and went to work quickly.

At this time, the doorman came to report: "Master, there is a little girl about two years old at the gate of the mansion. She is said to be the child of your colleague, and she came to visit the mansion."

Lord Li was immediately panicked.

"Hey, this little ancestor, why is he here at this time?"

Holding up his clothes, he ran to the gate of the mansion.

Several concubines happened to go to the fish pond in the front yard to watch the fish. When they saw Lord Li running very fast, they all stopped out of curiosity.

"What is it that makes the master so anxious?"

"Look, the doorman is following the master. Maybe someone is looking for him."

"Never mind, let's go fish watching."

Several people turned around and chased after each other to the fish pond.

On the other side, Lord Li ran to the gate of the mansion, and Nangong Jiu also greeted him first.

"Master Li Mingde, my name is Liu Jiuer. I am the daughter of a colleague of yours, Uncle Li. I am here to visit your house."

Li Mingde nodded quickly: "I understand!"

"Ok?"

"Oh, no, it's Uncle Li who understands."

Li Mingde took Nangong Jiu to the front yard and introduced the layout of the mansion attentively as they walked.

"Uncle Li's house has been built for some time. There is nothing special about it. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Oh, this old fox, is he trying to trick me into thinking my family is not wealthy? If they are not wealthy, why do they have to support so many women?

"How many children does Uncle Li have?"

"I have two sons and two daughters. My two daughters are married and my two sons are married and currently working in other places."

"You have grandchildren?"

Li Mingde wiped his forehead and said, "Yes."

After saying that, he led Nangong Jiu into the flower hall. The housekeeper, who had received the news earlier, had already placed tea and snacks in the flower hall.

Li Mingde pointed at Nangong Jiu and introduced her, "This is the daughter of one of my colleagues. She is here to play in the mansion. You can just call her Miss Liu."

The housekeeper greeted her warmly, "Miss Liu, these are fresh pastries I just bought from Xu's Pastry Shop. Please try them!"

"Okay, thank you uncle!"

Nangong Jiu didn't hesitate to take a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Li Mingde smiled and said, "Go and prepare a table of food that the children like to eat. Miss Liu will dine at the mansion."

As soon as the housekeeper left, he heard a quarrel coming straight to the flower hall.

"You splashed water on me, I'm going to tell the master and let him punish you."

"It was you who got me wet first, and you're the first to complain. Go ahead and sue me. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Sue me if you want! Master, Master, you have to make the decision for me."

Several concubines came in, pulling and arguing.

When they saw Nangong Jiu, they stopped fighting temporarily and looked at Nangong Jiu curiously.

"Oh, this little kid is pretty! Where did you get this kid, sir?"

Li Mingde was busy trying to make excuses for his concubine's unreasonable behavior.

"This is the daughter of one of my colleagues, her name is Liu Jiuer, she came to visit us."

"Liu Jiuer? Such a rustic name."

Several people surrounded Nangong Jiu, looked him up and down, and then said something shocking.

"Master, this little girl has a round face just like you. Could she be the illegitimate daughter of the woman you keep outside?"

"That's right! Master, if you bring her home, the lady will make trouble for you again if she finds out."

This frightened Li Mingde so much that sweat rolled down his forehead like beans.

"Nonsense! I told you, she is a colleague's child. If you can't speak, go back to your yard."

One concubine didn't believe it: "This child looks only about two years old. How could her family allow such a young child to play alone?"

As he spoke, he squatted down, pointed at Li Mingde and asked Nangong Jiu: "Kid, do you call him daddy?"

Nangong Jiu looked at Li Mingde jokingly.

Are you scared, old man?

This is really a case of bringing disaster upon oneself!

In the eyes of the concubines, this move undoubtedly confirmed their speculation.

"Master, you still say no, look at the way this child looks at you, full of admiration."

Li Mingde could no longer sit still, pointing at his concubines and cursing, "You idiots! I told you to go back to your own courtyard, can't you hear me?"

Nangong Jiu spoke out to stop him.

"Uncle Li, the aunts have gone home, who will play with me?"
