Daqing, Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Xu was talking to Nanny Chen in the room when she saw Jindou knocking on the door and hurried in.

"Mother, I came to tell you that I'm going to go out and hide for a few days," Jindou said to Xu, panting.

"Why...why do you want to hide away?" Xu became anxious when she heard Jindou's words. She was planning to arrange the wedding for the two of them, so how could she let Jindou go out again?

"Mother, you don't know, my second brother almost killed me with a sword this morning." Jindou patted his chest, and when he thought of the scene when Wei Qing stretched out his hand to the scabbard, he couldn't help but almost broke out in a cold sweat.

"Kill you, how could that be?" Xu shook her head and said, "Child, have you misunderstood your second brother?"

"Yes, Miss Jindou," Chen Nanny also said, "I think the second young master likes you very much."

"Oh, Second Brother doesn't like me at all," Jindou said, waving his hands repeatedly. "I told Second Brother last night that we should get married, and he agreed. But this morning, he came to my room and started to blame me."

"Child, that's impossible." Xu refused to believe Jindou's words. She knew her son well, and she knew better than anyone how much her son liked Jindou.

"Mother, everything I said is true." Jindou patted his chest repeatedly. When he thought of the scene where his second brother reached out for the scabbard just now, he couldn't help but feel frightened again.

"No, mother, I have to go out and hide for a few days. I will come back after my second brother calms down." Jindou said this and prepared to go back to pack his bags.

"Wait, kid, you must not go out." Seeing Jindou was about to leave, Xu stood up hurriedly and grabbed Jindou.

"Child, you must listen to your mother and never go out. Wait until your second brother comes back and I will ask him about it for you. Don't worry, in this mansion, everything will be decided by me," Xu said, holding Jindou and repeatedly reminding him.

In the Jinyiwei office, Xie Xiaohu hurried to the conference room with the official documents sent by the centurions from various places. From a distance, he saw Cong Kai bending over and secretly peeking inside through the crack of the door.

Walking forward, Xie Xiaohu grabbed Cong Kai by the collar and dragged him to the side.

Cong Kai was looking inside intently. He was startled by Xie Xiaohu's grab and almost screamed. Fortunately, he covered his mouth with his hands in time.

"What are you looking at here? If the adults find out, you will be in trouble," Xie Xiaohu scolded.

"General Xie, you don't know that the Lord didn't even look at the documents today. He just sat there on the chair. I don't know if anything happened?" Cong Kai said in a low voice with some concern.

"You don't have to worry about the adults' affairs, just go about your own business," Xie Xiaohu said casually.

Seeing Cong Kai walking away, Xie Xiaohu thought for a while, walked to the door, and knocked on the half-open door, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response from inside the room.

"Sir, what's wrong with you today?" Xie Xiaohu muttered, and with more strength in his hands, he knocked twice more. This time, he finally heard their master say, "Come in," from inside the room.

Pushing the door open and walking in, Xie Xiaohu saw that their adults were just as Cong Kai said, sitting in the chair.

It seems that the master is really worried about something. Otherwise, with the master's ability, Cong Kai should have been discovered by the master when he was lying outside the door just now. It seems that the master is distracted today.

Thinking this in his heart, Xie Xiaohu handed the document in his hand forward and said, "Sir, this is the document sent by the Hundred Households Office."

"Leave it there," Wei Qing said casually, without reaching out to take it. He just sat in the chair blankly, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Then...I'll take my leave." Xie Xiaohu put the official document on the table, looked at their masters, and said with a fist.

Seeing their adults nodded, Xie Xiaohu turned and walked out the door, still thinking in his heart: Looking at the adults like this, maybe Jindou did something again to make them unhappy.

In Xie Xiaohu's impression, no matter what happened, their adults always had a calm expression on their faces.

Ever since Jindou came, the expressions on their adults' faces have become much richer. Of course, almost all of them are expressions of being pissed off by Jindou.

"My lord, you have fallen into Jindou's hands in this life." Xie Xiaohu sighed sadly for their lord in his heart.

In the conference room, Wei Qing sat blankly on the chair, his mind constantly flashing back to the scene of the two of them falling to the ground in Jindou's room early this morning, and the soft touch he felt.

No, what's wrong with me? Am I really old enough to get married? Wei Qing pinched his forehead hard, trying to calm himself down. He picked up the documents on the table and began to read them.

At night, when Wei Qing returned to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and was about to walk towards his own courtyard, he saw the housekeeper coming towards him. The housekeeper came over and said that his mother was waiting for him in the hall, so he walked towards the main hall.

In the main hall, Xu was sitting on a chair, waiting for Wei Qing. Seeing her youngest son come in, she quickly stood up and waved, "Qing'er, come here quickly."

"Mother," Wei Qing bowed and called out, then sat down with his mother.

As soon as Qing'er sat down, Xu quickly asked, "Early this morning, Jindou came over and said you wanted to kill her. Is that true?"

"Mother, how could my son..." Wei Qing was so angry that his face almost turned black.

"Yes, mother thinks so too, but Jindou looks really scared. She said that she said she wanted to marry you, and you agreed last night, but changed your mind early this morning and went to her to ask for an explanation. Son, is this true?" Xu looked at Wei Qing and said worriedly.

What the hell is going on? Wei Qing slammed the table in anger and stood up to go look for the golden bean.

"Son," Xu hurriedly called Wei Qing back and began to warn him, "Jindou came early this morning and insisted on going out to hide for two days, saying she would wait until you calmed down before coming back. Mother managed to talk her out of it then. Now you need to go and talk to her quickly and don't let her go out again."

When Wei Qing heard his mother say that Jindou was going to hide away for two days, his face immediately darkened. After a moment's thought, he bowed to Xu and said solemnly, "Mother, I would like you to prepare my marriage."

"Prepare for the wedding." When Xu heard Wei Qing's words, she was so excited that tears almost flowed down her face. "Son, you finally said this. I have been waiting for you to say this for too long."

Wiping the corners of her eyes, Xu looked at her youngest son with joy, saying repeatedly, "Don't worry, son. I will take good care of everything for you."
