The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

"Mother, are there any distinguished guests at home? My daughter-in-law outside the door can smell the good fortune."

Shouting, Mu Lianzhi walked in with a smile. When she entered the room, she saw only the old lady and the mother and daughter of the eldest wife in the room. The three of them were still wearing dark gray clothes. Even Ling Feier was wearing a low-key gray-green color.

But there were quite a few red gift boxes on the table, and the three of them couldn't hide their joy on their faces.

After taking a quick look around, she slowly bowed to the old lady:

"Mother, sister-in-law, this is..."

Just as she was about to ask, "Who was here?", before Mu Lianzhi could finish her words, the old lady slammed the table:

"You're out and about showing off again? The Qixi Festival banquet just passed, why haven't you learned your lesson? I told you to be more low-key. If people notice any clues like this, will the reputation of the Marquisate still be preserved?"

"Mother, the Ghost Festival is coming soon. I have been dreaming about my husband saying bad things recently, so I went out to buy some more paper money and asked the store to deliver the previously ordered items to the back door."

Looking down at the red dress on her body, Mu Lianzhi said with a look of grievance:

"Mrs. Jin from Baiming Tower likes the color red. It's not easy for a daughter-in-law to go to a place like that. If she doesn't like you, it will be even harder to meet Miss Cai Cui."

"Mother, if Master Beitang hadn't reminded me at the Qixi banquet, I would have violated the taboo. However, although Master Beitang may have shown some consideration, it is not the same as before. I am also considering the Marquis' Mansion."

"Master hasn't come out yet, has he?"

"Miss Cai Cui said that several great families have fallen one after another, and Lord Beitang will be more powerful but also more cautious, so his temper will become more unpredictable. I didn't understand the specifics, but I understand the general meaning, which is that it is best not to make him angry, especially not to offend him."

"My daughter-in-law didn't go out just for these trivial matters. Mother, if I don't go out, how can I have the chance to see Master Beitang? If I just wait for his uncertain summons and the slightest chance of getting close to him at the banquet, when will I get any definite news from him?"

"It's better to go out and try it than to just wait."

"Master Beitang is very busy with official duties. He might be out one day or forget about it. My daughter-in-law is also anxious, so she wants to get this matter settled as soon as possible."

Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned Ling Yuchi, the atmosphere in the room changed a lot, but this time unexpectedly, it seemed to have gotten worse instead of better.

The first to attack was Jiang:

"Don't always use chicken feathers as a token of authority."

"Yes, Second Aunt, if we only rely on you, I don't know when my father will come out. You are like this, I really don't know if you want to save people or abuse your power for personal gain."

Although the old lady didn't say anything, it was obvious that she was wavering.

Not annoyed, Mu Lianzhi turned to the side directly:

"Oh, sister-in-law, do you mean you have a better way? If you don't need me, I'll be happy to do it. I can never leave Yuxiuyuan again."

"You said that yourself."

Jiang's words came quickly. Seeing her beaming with joy and Ling Fei'er's sudden straightening of her back, and the red gift box on the side, Mu Lianzhi suddenly realized something:

"nature."

After a deliberate pause, she continued:

"Looking at the confident look on Sister-in-law's face, I think she must have found a bigger way. But I wonder who has such a powerful hand and eye that can bypass Lord Beitang, who is the only person who can handle criminal cases?"

"Sister-in-law, I have to remind you that if you are not 100% sure of the person you are looking for, you'd better not act rashly. If you accidentally offend Lord Beitang again, we will have no way back and there will be no medicine for regret."

"Whether or not Big Brother will come out is another matter. If the future of the Marquis' Mansion, the Young Master, and others is affected, the Marquis' Mansion will probably take many years to recover."

She actually also wanted to know who gave them such courage?

After Mu Lianzhi said this, the atmosphere in the room became quiet for a moment, and then Ling Feier said:

"What is Beitang Yi? Who dares not to give face to the Fuguogong Mansion? Prince Bao will definitely help me rescue my father. It's useless to expect your snail-like speed to do things."

This time, Mu Lianzhi didn't need to say anything. The old lady threw the tea bowl to the ground with a bang:

"Fei'er, shut up. You can't just call Master Beitang by his name. Go back and copy the Heart Purification Mantra ten times and calm your mind."

"grandmother?"

"Fei'er——"

This time it was Jiang who stopped her. She glared at Ling Feier as if warning her, and then she looked at the old lady:

"Mother, isn't ten times a bit too much? It would be bad if Fei'er couldn't go out for a long time and delayed her visits to the Prince's Mansion. After the Zhongyuan Festival, it will be the fifteenth day soon. I think Madam Bao seems to want to settle things as soon as possible."

"Mother, if we can marry into the Fuguogong Mansion, they will help my husband come out earlier just for the sake of the smooth progress of the wedding, right?"

"It's just that this time seems a little inappropriate, don't you think?"

Jiang was obviously pleading for Ling Feier and wanted to make things happen as soon as possible, but after all, Ling Wenzhan had just left, and just because others didn't know about it didn't mean that the problem didn't exist.

After hearing this, Mu Lianzhi had nothing left to understand. Looking at the happy gifts on the table, she immediately understood who might have come.

I didn't expect that the guy surnamed Bao would hook up with Ling Feier so quickly?

The Mansion of the Duke of Fuguo is actually similar to their Mansion of the Marquis of Pingyong. Both were glorious in the past but are now on the decline. The only difference is that the predecessor of the Mansion of the Duke of Fuguo was the Mansion of the Duke of Rongguo, which at least had been through several generations of glory. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, so in comparison, they are still marrying above their station.

The Prince's Mansion does not have much real power, and it seems that there is still a queen in the palace. As for Bao Yanqing, from his name "Hai Yan He Qing", we can see that they do not have much ambition, are quite self-aware and want to maintain peace and well-being. It's a pity that this favored Bao Yanqing is still a scoundrel.

It is understandable that they chose Pingyonghou Mansion to marry.

On the one hand, the Marquis' Mansion now appears to be neutral. Although Ling Feier made a stupid mistake at the Qixi Banquet, she is a woman after all and everything has two sides. Maybe her behavior will make people feel more at ease.

No wonder Ling Feier suddenly stood up again.

At the right time, Mu Lianzhi interrupted:

"The Prince of Fuguo? Prince Bao? You are not talking about Prince Bao Yanqing, who is known as the 'Little Bully of West Street'?"

"I heard that he often hangs out in red-light districts and his character doesn't seem very good. Mother, sister-in-law, this young lady hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet. There's no need to be so anxious! For important matters in life, shouldn't we understand them carefully before making a decision?"

"What are you talking about?"

Ling Feier stood up suddenly, almost crying with anger:

"He's not that kind of person! I think you just can't stand seeing me doing well~"

Pursing her lips, Mu Lianzhi just wanted to sneer in her heart:

If anything happens in the future, you can't blame her!
