Duke's Mansion

Sifan failed to catch up with the man in black, so he hurried into the house to check if his master was hurt.

"Master, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"It's okay. Did you catch up with the man in black?"

"I'm sorry that I was incompetent and let the thief get away."

"The man in black also stole my clothes, which I had just changed into before taking a bath."

"If the man in black is someone from the Duke's Mansion who is hiding in the dark and wants to harm me, my identity as a woman may be exposed."

Ouyang Miaoling said with a worried look on her face.

"Master, I don't think that man in black is from the Duke's Mansion."

"I have fought with that man before. He has great martial arts skills, strong internal strength, and excellent Qinggong skills."

"It's not like the realm that ordinary servants and secret guards can reach."

"Maybe you're worrying too much,"

"If it wasn't them testing, then who would it be?"

Ouyang Miaoling said with a puzzled look on her face.

"When will Lord Dongfang arrive?" Ouyang Miaoling suddenly asked

"My Lord, the Eastern Lord is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, Dongfang is here, maybe he can help us solve the puzzle."

"You should step up your guard. We just arrived at the Duke's Mansion and there is something unsettled here."

"There are many people who want to kill me," Ouyang Miaoling ordered.

"Yes, Master."

"By the way, get me some clothes, men's clothes, don't be careless anymore."

"Yes, Master."

The next day, someone at dawn.

With dark circles under his eyes, he appeared in front of everyone who came to attend the court meeting.

"You were a thief last night," Jun Sa beside him teased.

The people around him glared at him and looked away.

After the court meeting, Jun Sa smiled and followed Nangong Mingxuan.

"I asked you why you followed me?"

"Tell me, what's wrong with your dark circles?"

"Did you hide a beautiful lady in your house?"

"I was tired last night"

Jun Sa kept making random guesses, leaving Nangong Mingxuan speechless.

But I couldn't explain to him what I did last night.

It's really a black thread.

"I said, have you said enough?" Nangong Mingxuan used his anger to cover up his guilty conscience.

“No, then tell me and I won’t guess anymore,” Jun Sa said with a look of frustration on his face.

"I..." Suddenly there was no sound.

The man turned and left.

Jun Sa opened his eyes wide, waiting to see the melon, but there was nothing.

With a disappointed look on his face, he hung his head and followed Nangong Mingxuan silently.

"I said, you have nothing to do?"

"How's your investigation going?"

Jun Sa raised his head and said, "I'll go check it out now. I'll go now."

Having said that, he ran away happily.

The man sat in the carriage on his way back home, leaning against the inside and taking a light nap. But as soon as he closed his eyes, that handsome and charming little face would hover before his eyes.

I was obviously very sleepy, but I had no desire to sleep at all.

"When did that woman have such a profound influence on me?"

"Go to the Duke of Lu's Mansion," he ordered outside the carriage.

"It's the master"

The coachman quickly turned around and headed in the direction of Duke Lu.

The Duke of Lu had just returned from the morning court, and before he even sat down on the stool, the butler came hurriedly to report that the Regent had arrived at the mansion.

The Duke of Lu, who had no time to change his clothes, ran hurriedly to greet the distinguished guest.

Ever since their eldest daughter disappeared and passed away five years ago and the Regent held a funeral for her, the two families have not had any private contact. The Regent's sudden visit today must have something going on.

The Duke of Lu did not dare to be negligent and came jogging all the way.

Before reaching the gate, I saw the luxurious carriage belonging to the Regent slowly stop at the gate.

The Duke of Lu hurriedly knelt down to greet him.

"Your subordinate respectfully welcomes the Regent."

"Your Excellency, you are welcome. Please stand up quickly." As he said this, he gave Duke Lu a light support.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Please come in," he said respectfully.

At Tingfengxuan, Li Xueluo was chatting with her daughter.

"Madam, the Regent has come to our house," the maid reported.

When Ouyang Miaoyin heard that the Regent had arrived, she stood up excitedly and tidied up her long hair that was no longer scattered around her temples.

Said to Li Xueluo, "Mother, he came to see me, he has me in his heart"

"My daughter, the Regent may have some official business to discuss with your father, not necessarily with you."

"No, mother, the Regent must be here to see me. He hasn't been to our house for five years. How come he's here today?"

"Besides, if there is anything between him and Dad, it cannot be discussed in the court. Why would he condescend to come to our house to talk to Dad?"

"My daughter, your analysis is correct. If the Regent is really interested in you, you must seize the opportunity and don't miss it."

"Don't worry, mother. I will go to the front hall now to meet the Regent."

Ouyang Miaoling held her head high and chest puffed out, then walked out of Tingfengxuan with confidence and headed towards the front hall.

The regent sat down in the front hall. Duke Lu stepped forward, clasped his hands and said respectfully, "Your Highness, you have condescended to come to my house today. What do you want me to do?"

"I... just came to see you. You have worked hard for the country. Please take care of yourself."

"Ah... Lord, I'm here at your house, may I ask for a glass of water?"

The bone shadow who was following nearby heard the Regent coming all the way to ask for water, and looked at his master in shock.

Is this still the master he knows?

"Look at my memory. I was so busy talking to you that I forgot to check the tea."

"Someone, bring the tea."

As soon as the voice fell, Ouyang Miaoyin replaced the maid, carrying water, and slowly walked to the tea table beside Nangong Mingxuan, and gently put down the teacup.

She said shyly, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Nangong Mingxuan glanced at the teacup on the table, picked it up and put it to his mouth, and was about to open his mouth to drink, as if he had thought of something.

He put down the teacup and said to Duke Lu: "Duke Lu, I heard that you have adopted a son. Can you please come to the front hall to meet him?"

"Hey, did the Queen Regent discover something? Did she know that his Ling'er was resurrected and come here to investigate in person today?"

"If the Regent knew Ling'er was still alive, would he punish them for deceiving the emperor?"

At this moment, Duke Lu's back was covered in sweat and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.

"What happened to the Duke? Is it inconvenient for you to meet people? Or is there something else going on..."

The Duke of Lu could tell that the Regent was warning him.

It seems that there is no way to escape today.

If you make up your mind, it will be a blessing instead of a disaster, and if it is a disaster, you can't avoid it.

"Someone, go to the Poetry and Painting Pavilion and invite the eldest young master to the front hall," he loudly ordered the butler at the door.

"Yes." The butler bowed and quickly left to pass on the message.

Ouyang Miaoyin, who was waiting on the side, noticed that her father's face looked strange, but she didn't know why.

I thought it would be great if I could use the power of the Regent to drive that bastard out of the house.

A vicious plan was brewing in my mind, and I must kick that damn guy out today.

Shihuaxuan received an invitation from Qianmo, the personal guard of the Duke.

It was said that the Regent wanted to see her.

She had a bad feeling in her heart. Could it be that that bastard knew that she was resurrected and came to cause trouble for her?

"Brother Qianmo, you lead the way,"

At this moment, I can only think of countermeasures while walking.
