Hidden in the court

After the morning court session, Mr. Hu sat down and chatted with Su Mengyang about family matters. However, Luo Wei did not stay for long and rushed home.

He felt something was wrong since he left home in the morning, and always felt that something bad was going to happen.

As it turned out, his worries were justified, because as soon as he turned into the alley on his way home, he bumped into Ji Mingshang who was sending his daughter home.

"Um, that... Father-in-law, you're back so early?"

At this moment, looking at this "human trafficker" and his daughter hiding behind Ji Mingshang, Luo Wei's face turned extremely dark.

"Lin'er, well, you go in first. It looks like Dad wants to talk to me about something."

Ji Mingshang laughed and moved forward, bringing Rowling to the door safely.

Rowling suddenly rushed into the door, hid behind the door and stuck her head out.

Ji Mingshang gave her a reassuring look and secretly made a gesture with his hand behind his back.

Luo Lin understood what was meant: "Hurry up and find your mother-in-law! In the afternoon..."

Rowling realized that now only her mother could save her, so she went into the house immediately.

Luo Wei stared at Ji Mingshang silently without saying a word from beginning to end.

Ji Mingshang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Luo Lin go in.

"Well, father-in-law. My father should be back soon. I'll go outside the pass to see him. Bye..."

Ji Mingshang made up an excuse and slipped away.

Lowe walked into the house with a gloomy face. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife sitting there and Rowling massaging his shoulders behind her.

Lowe stared at Rowling for a long time without moving.

Seeing this, Mrs. Luo immediately stamped her feet and signaled to Luo Wei with her eyes not to be impulsive.

"call--"

Finally, at the lady's signal, Lowe let out a long sigh, but still chose not to take action, and began to persuade softly:

"Lin'er, I'm not saying anything to you, but why do you keep running around with that brat Ji Jun? It's inevitable, isn't it? Ji Jun is such a rude guy, you can't follow him and make trouble. You haven't even gotten married yet, aren't you afraid of what others will gossip about? As for Ji Mingshang's reputation, yes, he doesn't care, but why doesn't he consider you..."

However, the old father's earnest teachings seemed to be of no use, and Rowling's mind had already drifted to the afternoon.

Lowe talked incessantly for a quarter of an hour, his mouth dry and his anger mostly subsided.

Mrs. Luo was listening intently, but Rowling was listening in a dream, with her head resting on her mother's shoulder. As Mrs. Luo shrugged, Rowling woke up.

"Lin'er, are you sleepy? Go back to your room and rest."

Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Luo interrupted Lowe's speech and gave instructions to Rowling.

Rowling still didn't dare to move and looked up at her father.

Looking at his daughter's appearance, Lowe's expression softened a lot and he nodded.

"Go ahead, and remember to get up and eat later."

"Thank you dad."

Rowling thanked him joyfully, then stood up and ran out again.

After Luo Lin left, Luo Wei sat down, held his forehead and said worriedly: "Madam, what do you think this is?"

Lowe now feels that the cabbages he has been raising for so many years have been eaten by a pig, and the key point is that he is marrying up to the pig.

Madam Luo patted his shoulder, poured him another cup of tea, and comforted him, "If you ask me, you shouldn't worry about it. You yourself said it was a matter of time. In my opinion, you don't hate Ji Mingshang, you just can't stand your daughter getting married."

"I know, but this girl is really shameless. How can I trust her with my daughter?"

"You're used to seeing and hearing that, so you think Ji Mingshang is like that. Look at what he does. At least he's nice to Lin'er, isn't he?"

Luo Wei still felt dissatisfied. What was so good about him? He even had three maids at home.

Looking at Lowe like this, Mrs. Luo naturally knew what he was thinking, and she didn't know how much of what she said he had listened to.

"I know you love your daughter. There is no parent in this world who doesn't love their children. But think about it, what is our daughter like? She has been making trouble since she was a child, playing with Ji Mingshang, and never coming home for dinner all day long. Now that she's engaged, you're worried?"

"I hope they can be like they were when they were little. At least that kid hasn't done anything bad yet."

"Oh, don't even think about it. Your daughter will get married sooner or later. Will you be able to live in the palace by then? You still have so much official business to attend to. Go down and take a rest."

Lowe reached out and gently stroked his wife's hand on his shoulder.

"Okay, thank you ma'am."

Then, Rowling returned to her own little courtyard, slept peacefully, and waited for the afternoon.

……

At noon, Mrs. Luo was going to wake up Luo Wei, but she saw him sleeping on his back, mumbling to himself.

All I heard was Luo Wei saying, "Lin'er, Daddy is... hello, don't blame Daddy, um..."

This made Mrs. Luo sneer and call out Luo Wei.

"Master, get up and eat."

Then he went to call Rowling.

Seeing Rowling, Mrs. Rowling was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Rowling was lying on her back with her limbs stretched out, her whole body shaped like a "big" character, and most of the quilt was hanging on the ground.

This sleeping position is exactly the same as her father's. Suddenly, Rowling turned over, folded her arms, frowned, and shouted:

"Dad, I didn't mean it. I won't do it again..."

Mrs. Luo was almost frightened. When she came to her senses, she held her forehead and said worriedly, "Alas, this father and daughter are really..."

While eating, the family heard the cat’s meow.

Mrs. Luo asked curiously, "Strange, when did the cat enter the mansion?"

However, Rowling knew that this was not a cat at all, but Ji Mingshang's secret signal. However, it was really difficult to escape now.

I looked at my dad again. Well, he was busy eating, and I didn't notice anything unusual.

"Prime Minister, His Majesty summons you to the palace."

Just after finishing his meal, Luo Wei was called away by Su Youde.

Rowling felt that this was God's help. As soon as Lowe turned out of the alley, Rowling rushed out of the house.

Ji Mingshang also flipped down from the wall.

"How is it, did your father-in-law give you any trouble?"

"How dare you say that? If you hadn't said the timing was just right, would you have run into my dad?"

"Then it's a bit urgent for my father-in-law to come back today."

Ji Mingshang argued so cunningly, without mentioning the time wasted because of his bad taste.

But Rowling didn't bother with him about it.

"Okay, where are we going now?"

"Come on, I'll take you fishing."

Ji Mingshang thought of this immediately, but he also had his own agenda. After all, it was noon when fishing, and the fish were all at the bottom of the water, not eating much. Weather like this was of course suitable for swimming...

Luo Lin looked at Ji Mingshang's sly expression and realized something was wrong. She asked in confusion, "Where's the rod if we want to fish for midday fish?"

"Well, we'll talk about it when we get there, we'll talk about it when we get there..."

So, Luo Lin was brought to the Prince of Jin's Mansion by Ji Mingshang.

Ji Mingshang was thinking, the river outside is so dangerous, what if something happens to Rowling? Besides, it would not be good if others see it.
