I have to say, it’s wonderful to have dreams!

At the very least, it allows everyone to smell the strong scent of melon as soon as they leave the palace after the boring morning court!

Xie Zhaoqing had a big fight with Wei Lian yesterday, and didn't want to go back to face Xie Yuantang, his little nemesis, so he went to Anxiang Tower and stayed overnight.

After a night of soothing by the beautiful lady from Anxiang Tower, he finally felt refreshed today.

Although my steps are a little unsteady and there are some bruises under my eyes, at least I am happy in spirit!

However, this happiness came to an abrupt end when she saw the servant from the Xie Mansion guarding there after leaving the palace.

Xie Zhaoqing looked at the boy unhappily: "What are you doing here?"

The servant was repeatedly urged by Old Madam Xie and Wei Lian to bring Xie Zhaoqing back within half an hour, otherwise their monthly salary would be deducted for two years.

The servant was so anxious that sweat was pouring down his face. He didn't care if there was anyone around and shouted in a hurry, "Sir, please go back and check! There's a big commotion at home!"

As soon as he said this, all the officials passing by stopped.

Well~no matter whether you are a man or a woman, who doesn’t like to eat melons?

Especially knowing that Xie Zhaoqing brought Leng Yunwan and Xie Yuantang back to the Xie Mansion yesterday, this... there was a fuss in less than a day?

So exciting?

Seeing the people around him looking at him with gleaming eyes, Xie Zhaoqing's face darkened and he said in a deep voice, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back. I'm busy, so you go first."

"No, sir. The old lady said that if I don't bring you back within half an hour, she will deduct two years' salary from me!"

The servant almost cried in anxiety: "And the old lady also said that if you don't come back, she will let me tell you that she is going to hang herself."

Xie Zhaoqing's mouth twitched: "...Why is she hanging herself at such an old age? Hanging herself thirty-nine times in thirty days a month, isn't she tired?"

The servant whispered, "How would I know? Anyway, the old lady said so. She had already found the rope when I left."

"Hey! Xie Zhaoqing, your mother is going to hang herself!"

Leng Yunchao walked over with a sarcastic look on his face: "Hey, it must have taken at least a quarter of an hour to get here from your house. Your mother is lucky to have survived this quarter!"

"General Leng, be careful with your words!"

Xie Zhaoqing was so angry that his temples were throbbing. He couldn't say anything more in front of so many people. He was about to get on the carriage, but Leng Yunchao took the horse and said, "I'm going too!"

Hearing this, Xie Zhaoqing almost hit his head on the car door.

He turned around and glared at Leng Yunchao: "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to go see if your Xie Mansion is abusing my sister and little niece. How about that? Is that not okay?"

Leng Yunchao snorted coldly and said, "Yesterday you promised in front of the people that you would treat them well, but judging from what your servant said, it seems that is not the case!"

"So this general wants to go and see it for himself!"

Xie Zhaoqing's breathing stagnated, but he had no reason to stop him, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if you want to go, go ahead."

After he finished speaking, he was about to get in the car when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Prime Minister, please stay."

The words are clear.

Xie Zhaoqing turned back in a bad mood: "What's the matter, Grand Master? You don't want to go to my house to watch the fun, do you?"

"That's not it."

Yan Guanqing smiled slightly, and said in a cold voice: "It's just that today the teacher of the school asked me to bring a copy of calligraphy to Your Highness and the Little Princess. I need to hand it to them in person. I believe the Prime Minister will not refuse, right?"

Xie Zhaoqing: “…” Is it any use if I refuse?

With a sullen face, he looked at Yan Guanqing and then at Leng Yunchao, gritted his teeth and said, "It's up to you."

After saying this, he jumped into the carriage and ordered the driver to drive home quickly.

The other officials waiting at the palace gate looked at each other.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, isn't your home in the east? Oh... Let's go shopping in the west. What a coincidence. I want to go too."

"Oh, Lord Li, why are you taking this road? Oh... I'm lost. It's good to be lost, it's good to be lost. Just let nature take its course and let it take you wherever it takes you!"

Soon, the people discovered that many civil officials and military generals had strolled along the same street tacitly.

Inside the palace, Situ Qing heard about this and frowned, "Why is it the Xie family again? How come Xie Zhaoqing can't even handle such a small matter?"

If you can’t even manage your own family, how can you be qualified to be the prime minister?

Situ Qing became more and more suspicious of how he was so blind to allow Xie Zhaoqing to take the position.

Qu Pei whispered, "Your Majesty, don't worry about this. I think... someone will help you control the Prime Minister."

"Ok?"

"Didn't the Little Princess and the Fifth Prince go to the Xie family yesterday? I heard..."

News spread quickly in the palace. Situ Feng and Situ Ya were eating melon seeds while saying, "I really want to go and watch the fun! I don't know how Xie Yuantang is so capable. He easily made those people in the Xie family jump up and down in anger."

Situ Ya smiled and said, "Third sister, it's better for you to stay out of the palace less often. Don't forget that things are not peaceful these days."

"I know. It's the ventriloquist who was never caught."

Situ Feng snorted: "I don't know who sent this person, but he has been causing panic all day long. If I catch him, I will definitely not let him go!"

Situ Ya's fingers holding the melon seeds paused slightly, she smiled and said nothing.

Prime Minister's House.

Xie Zhaoqing, Leng Yunchao and Yan Guanqing entered the Xie family's gate together.

"Where are the people?" he asked coldly.

The maid in the house didn't expect that in addition to her own master, there were two big Buddhas. She pointed to the backyard with a strange expression: "In... in the madam's yard."

Xie Zhaoqing frowned. Could it be that his mother and Wei Lian and the others were really going to cause trouble for Leng Yunwan?

The three of them walked quickly to the backyard.

Originally, it was not convenient for Leng Yunchao and Yan Guanqing to enter the backyard, but who could have told them that they had good reasons!

When they reached the gate of the courtyard, they could hear the sharp wails of Old Madam Xie and Wei Lian from a distance:

"Oh my god, he can't survive! Oh my god, what sin has our Xie family committed~"

"Madam, how could you do this to us? You are really angry with me. Yumo is still so young, how could you bear it!"

"..."

Compared to their wailing, the other side seemed exceptionally quiet.

The big hole at the gate of the courtyard has been filled up by Xie Yuantang, and now there are three armchairs on it.

Originally Leng Yunwan was sitting in the middle, but Xie Yuantang wanted to sit next to his mother, and Situ Yan wanted to sit next to his wife.

So Xie Yuantang sat on the chair in the middle.

The little body was leaning against the wall, with its short legs raised and a candied haws stick in its hand.

On the other side, Situ Yan was holding a peeled roasted sweet potato in his hand, but he was pointing it towards Xie Yuantang so that she could eat a bite of candied haws and a bite of roasted sweet potato.

Leng Yunchao and Yan Guanqing were worried that they would be bullied: "..."

It seems I worried for nothing.

Xie Yuantang saw the three of them coming over and waved her hand:

"Hello, two uncles, come over and have something to eat and drink!"

Situ Yan also waved: "Hello, uncles~"

Leng Yun looked at Guan Qing: "..."

You guys are really not nervous at all!
