Comprehensive film and television: Make trouble before lying down

"How is it? Have you found it?" Tong'er didn't sleep all night and was waiting in the Duke Su's Mansion.

Xiao Heng rubbed his brows, it was a very tricky situation. His men saw a woman in white lying on the roadside, who was rescued and moved into Prime Minister Li's mansion. This was going to be a difficult situation.

"Found her, she is safe now." I don't know if she will be safe in the future, so it's better to contact her as soon as possible.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go pick her up!" After saying that, he wanted to go out. Tong'er was very anxious, but was eventually kept back.

Xiao Heng took Wen Ji and Lu Ji with him, rode their horses straight to Prime Minister Li's residence, and after being informed, they were taken to the main hall.

Li Zhongnan smiled and walked forward: "Duke Su is always a very busy man. How come you have time to come to my house today?"

Xiao Heng clasped his fists and saluted: "Prime Minister Li, you are too polite. I am also doing my duty. If I have offended you in the past, I hope you will forgive me.

Xiao came here today because the second son of your family rescued a woman on the roadside yesterday. This woman is the virgin brought back from Qingcheng Mountain. Xiao has a case that requires her cooperation. I wonder if Prime Minister Li can..."

Li Zhongnan's eyes were deep. He was not aware of this matter, and no one came to report to him yesterday.

Li Xiang laughed heartily twice. "It's just a woman. Duke Suguo can just send someone to tell her. Why bother making this trip in person?"

"Come here, bring that woman out," he added, "Duke Su, please wait a moment."

“Thank you, Prime Minister Li…”

"No, you can't take the person away." Before Li Zhongnan could send anyone, Li Lian walked in from outside with an unhappy look on his face.

"This woman was lying on the roadside covered in wounds. I was the one who saved her. She is now recovering from her injuries. I'm afraid Duke Su cannot take her away yet."

Xiao Heng frowned and looked closely at Li Lian's expression. Li Zhongnan also smiled awkwardly.

"My Suguo Mansion is not short of medicinal herbs. Taking them back will be enough for healing. Please be kind."

Li Zhongnan saw his son's serious expression and didn't know what he meant, so he stepped forward to smooth things over. "Duke Su, since that woman is injured, why not let her stay in the mansion for a few days? Once she's healed, you can take her back. What do you think?"

Just as he finished speaking, Li Lian wanted to open his mouth to refute, but Li Zhongnan glared at him fiercely and he became quiet.

Xiao Heng sighed in his heart. He had to give Li Zhongnan the face he wanted since he had spoken, but he was also worried about Jiuning's safety.

"What Li Xiang said is true. I wonder if Xiao can meet the person first?"

Li Lian immediately became excited and said in an urgent tone, "How can the Duke of Su, as a man, enter a woman's boudoir? You should treat her better first!"

Seeing that Xiao Heng ignored his son, Li Zhongnan's face turned a little cold.

"Duke Suguo will not be investigating the case in the next few days. After all, the woman's health is more important. I think Duke Suguo will understand."

Xiao Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flashing across them, but he quickly retracted it and put on a smile.

"Prime Minister Li is right. I'll come back to bother you in two days. I have official business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Li Zhongnan smiled kindly and said, "Duke Suguo, please get busy first."

After Xiao Heng left, Li Zhongnan returned to the study with a gloomy face.

Li Lian also followed happily, and so did his brother, Li Jin. The three of them went to the study and sat down.

Li Zhongnan said in a dissatisfied tone, "When someone comes into the mansion, don't you need to inform me? Do you still consider me your father?"

Li Lian immediately lowered his head and said, "It's all my fault. It was too late yesterday, and I didn't have time to report it."

"Tell me, who is this woman?"

Li Lian repeated to Li Zhongnan the whole story of how he rescued people yesterday and the conversation today.

Only then did he realize that he hadn't even asked the woman's name. It was all because he was in such a hurry this morning. He had to find out later. Li Lian sighed inwardly.

Li Zhongnan's expression also relaxed a little. Duke Suguo did not insist on taking the person back today. It seemed that it was not very important, or he just wanted to ask some questions.

Seeing Li Lian's reluctant look, how could I not understand what he was thinking?

Perhaps the woman closed his eyes and wanted to keep him in the mansion.

So he said to comfort her: "Father has always taught you not to rush into trouble. Since she is just an ordinary woman and homeless, I think Duke Su will let her go after asking her some questions.

If you extend your hand then, the woman will surely be very grateful and willingly return to the mansion. Why would you have to go against the Duke of Su? Do you know who the Duke of Su is?"

Li Lian was delighted with his father's idea, but then he heard the words praising Duke Suguo, and he was very dissatisfied and said, "No matter how powerful Duke Suguo is, what can he do? Can my Li Mansion be afraid of him?"

Li Zhongnan glared at him unhappily, and Li Jin tugged at Li Lian's sleeve, signaling him not to contradict his father.

Li Lian had no choice but to swallow his unwilling words.

"I remind you that it's best not to attract the attention of Duke Suguo at this time. It's not because you're afraid of him, but because there's no need."

When Li Zhongnan said this, he looked straight at Li Lian and gave him a serious warning. Then he softened his tone and looked at Li Jin again.

"Duke Su has investigated the Qin family and has now sent people to monitor the Salt and Iron Bureau. This way of making money has been cut off. Let me test you. What other ways do you have to make money now?"

Li Lian lowered his brows in thought, while Li Jin smiled complacently and said, "Ye family, Ye Shijie."

Li Zhongnan glanced at his eldest son with appreciation and said, "Not bad. Now that you know, I'll leave this matter to you. It's also an opportunity for training. Don't mess it up."

Li Jin immediately stood up, happy about his father's praise for him: "Yes, son will definitely see to it."

Jiu Ning had no idea that Xiao Heng came to pick her up in person. She was trapped in the courtyard and was not allowed to go anywhere. Whenever she went out, someone would stop her.

Fortunately, there was no one in her yard. When she was practicing Lingbo Weibu, the room was too small and no one noticed her practicing in the yard.

"Miss, are you there? Mr. Li is coming in." Li Lian's voice was heard outside the yard.

"Sir, please come in!" Jiu Ning sat on a stone chair with a teacup in front of him.

When he saw someone come in, he sat down directly opposite her. Although he was unhappy, he still raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for the other person.

"Master, please have tea."

Li Lian took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, young lady. May I know your name?"

"My surname is Jiang, and my given name is Jiuning. I wonder if you have come so late at night. Is there something wrong?"

"Jiang Jiuning, that's a nice name. I wonder if you're used to living here?"

Li Lian maintained a polite expression, trying hard to give the other party a good impression.

"Sir, I want to leave the house, is that okay?" Jiu Ning asked tentatively.

Li Lian's face immediately darkened: "Young lady, you should take good care of your injuries first, and we can talk about other things later."
