Started to get rich after exile

Chapter 45

Bo Yun quietly moved his position at some point, revealing the bright and clear moonlight, shining down coldly, and even the evening wind was a bit chilly. In late spring and early summer, the chaotic temperature difference between day and night was disturbing.

After Ming Lanying and the two left, Ming Zhengqing came back and patted the table in the study angrily, "You bastard! It's unreasonable! How can I have such a bastard child who is unfilial, unrighteous, disrespectful to parents, and unkind to younger siblings?" !"

Jiang Heyu also blushed with anger. If they hadn't taken a fancy to what she was doing, they wouldn't have condescended to call her over. Ming Lanying didn't give them face and humiliated her, so don't blame her for being ruthless. A person who was once exiled has the face to return to Beijing!

"Master, don't get so angry, it's all my fault that I didn't discipline her well. It's more important to let Langrong take over her work right now. Langrong is a smart child, and he wants to do something big to make his father value him, but he suffers from Just no chance."

Ming Zhengqing snorted, "Father is too partial to the third younger brother's family. Sooner or later, father will know about it. Will father also think about it? Will he take it for the third younger brother's family?"

"No!" Jiang Heyu said anxiously, "Master, instead of letting father know, why don't we tell father first, and it's better to act first."

Ming Zhengqing nodded, "I'll talk to my father later... No, I'll talk to my father now!"

Ming Zhengqing and his wife are shamelessly thinking about Ming Lanying's current errands, Ming Lanying is too lazy to take care of this errand, except for her, no one can do it, they should eat and drink, they should look at the account books, no one can bother them she.

As a result, an inexplicable rumor about her has been circulating in the capital for two days. She didn't know about it, or even heard it.

On the third day after Hebai left, Ming Lanying suddenly remembered when she was looking at the account book in the East Palace that she hadn't gone to inquire about the beating of the eldest family of the Ming family, and Ye Juelu was busy managing the imperial guards and the emperor's affairs. I didn't have time to ask, so I had to go back and use the lark whistle once that night, and summoned a wild cat.

Under the moonlight, Ming Lanying held the flute lightly with both hands, her sapphire dress was slightly rippling in the wind, her sleeves were fluttering, and her spring green fingers dexterously fluttered on the flute. When a pair of brown eyes suddenly appeared on his face, Ye Juelu was shocked, and a big orange cat with a smooth and fat body suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall.

While stroking the cat, Ming Lanying talked to the wild cat with a whistle, and let the wild cat go away for a while. The wolf cub came up to her with a wet handkerchief in his mouth, rubbed her hand indiscriminately, and then got his own scent.

Ye Juelu took a deep look at the wall where the orange cat disappeared, "What did you ask?"

"Hebai did a good job. The five sons of Ming Zhengqing happened to be in the capital. Two of them fell asleep in the flower building. They were knocked out by Hebai holding the quilt. They drank a lot of wine and their brains are still not clear. One was attending a poetry meeting by the river in the west of the city, and when he placed an order, he was beaten up by He Bai and thrown into the river next to it, and it took him a long time to be fished out; there were two others who raced with people on the outskirts of the city, and He Bai didn't even need to do anything , Throwing two hidden weapons in the dark, the two of them fell off the horse directly, and their hands and feet were disabled."

Ming Lanying stretched her waist, and sighed comfortably, "Now Ming Zhengqing has no son to use. If you want to suck my blood, you have to pay a price."

When Ming Lishu asked her to kowtow to salute, she reminded her that it would not end well. Even after kowtowing four times, Ming Lishu’s face still hasn’t recovered. If Ming Zhengqing and Jiang Heyu dare to pay her attention, don’t blame her for taking action on their precious son. .

No one in the Ming family is a good thing. The original Ming Lanying told her in a ridiculous and short life, and she will no longer have kindness and patience with the Ming family.

Ye Juelu looked at her from the side, and the moonlight fell on his eyes, all of which were gentle, and it was hard for him not to be moved by such a bright Lanying.

"Aren't you afraid that he will tell your grandfather?"

Ming Lanying laughed mockingly, "Even if he said it, the old man must appreciate it. Even if my granddaughter, who was abandoned a long time ago, was entrusted with important tasks by the emperor even if she returned to Beijing, that would be a joke. How could he Will you give up that old face and talk to the emperor because of this trivial matter?"

"I've made you wronged." Ye Juelu's fists at the side clenched tightly, his eyes darkened, and his voice was soft and low, "I'm holding back, it only takes three years..."

"What grievance?" Ming Lanying looked back at him because she didn't understand, "It's getting late, I'm going to rest, you can do what you want."

"Well, I'll watch over you."

"There is Zai Zai here, you don't need to guard it, you have your own room."

Ming Lanying fled, Mingming Ye Juelu didn't have much expression on her face, but looked at her with sticky eyes, frightened.

The door creaked shut, and Ye Juelu seriously reflected on what made her uncomfortable...

Early the next morning, Ming Lanying came out lazily yawning, and saw the steward Wang of the mansion waiting in the yard. Usually at this time, the servants in the mansion would not show up again after finishing their work. At this moment, he frowned slightly as if I have something to report.

Seeing Ming Lanying coming out, Steward Wang hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

Ming Lanying asked: "What happened?"

Wang Guanshi bowed and said: "Going back to Madam, a girl named Song Shanshan was begging to see the master outside the mansion early in the morning."

Ming Lanying was taken aback, she almost forgot that there was another Song Shanshan in the capital, and the emperor would marry Song Shanshan and Ye Juelu.

"Where is the man?"

"It's still outside the mansion. Miss Song is unfamiliar, and she doesn't look like people in the capital, so she dared not let her in."

The Song family was declining day by day before Ye Juelu was exiled. The emperor gave this mansion. Not long after Wang Guanshi took over, Ye Juelu was exiled. A few days ago, Song Shanshan was named the leader by the emperor on the tower. He's not in the capital either, so it's normal that he doesn't recognize Song Shanshan.

"Let's put it in, after all, she used to be from the capital."

"Yes." Steward Wang bowed his head slightly, "There is one more thing. Recently, rumors and rumors about Madam have been circulating in the capital. They are all unsavory and obscenities. Every word and every word is belittling Madam, please show me."

Ming Lanying narrowed her eyes slightly, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, "How unbearable it is, let me hear it."

Steward Wang lowered his head, and said fearfully: "It's really vulgar, it's better not to dirty Madam's ears."

Ming Lanying looked at him calmly, "Say, Mrs. Ben is listening."

Steward Wang was hesitant, with cold sweat dripping from the corner of his forehead, "...there are rumors that Madam, you were extravagant and licentious when you were in the frontier, dissatisfied with Commander Ye, and flirtatious.

After speaking, Wang Guanshi knelt down directly, buried his head deeply on the ground, did not dare to raise his head, and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Ming Lanying hummed lightly, "Continue."

He walked slowly to the swing, sat on the swing in the yard, and swayed on the swing with his toes lightly. Steward Wang followed her to move in the direction of prostration, not daring to lift his head at all, as if he was very afraid of her.

"No, a lot of unscrupulous people are talking about you in the frontier fortress... you are always in trouble, and you are not repaired. Commander Ye fled back to the capital because of fear of you. Yes, it was you who grabbed him and followed him back... the young master also I don't know whose bastard—"

"presumptuous!"

"Madam please calm down!"

The last sentence really stepped on her bottom line, Ming Lanying was so angry that she slapped her hand on the swing pillar, when a big palm suddenly grabbed her hand tightly, even with all her strength. Shun away.

"My lady, calm down. If you want to hit me, hit me on your husband. Be careful that your hands hurt."

Ming Lanying gasped for breath, glared at Ye Juelu who suddenly appeared, but did not respond to his address, "How can I be calm! I don't care what they say, how dare they slander Ning'er like this!"

Ye Juelu gently hugged her and patted her comfortingly, a sternness flashed in his eyes, "I heard it all, don't get mad at yourself, as a husband, I won't let you and Ning'er suffer any grievances."

Steward Wang quickly kowtowed, "Master, I have already sent someone to investigate, and I will definitely find out before noon."

Ming Lanying took a deep breath to suppress her anger, "Don't worry about these rumors, they've become so bad anyway, it's useless to clean them up, let them spread, and wait until we find out who spread them, and fight back with fire."

Ye Juelu responded, "Leave the matter to Taiyi after the investigation, and he will arrange it."

"Yes."

"It's okay, you go down first."

"Yes, ma'am, Miss Song will be waiting in the front hall."

"I see."

After Ming Lanying calmed down a lot, she realized that she was gently hugged by Ye Juelu, she pushed Ye Juelu away, and looked away uncomfortably, "Song Shanshan came to see you, I'll ask someone to take her to the front hall to wait. "

Ye Juelu frowned lightly, "What is she here for? Just send her away, so as not to hinder the lady's eyes."

Ming Lanying glanced at him indifferently, "The emperor wants to marry you two, so why not come to see you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I will handle it with the emperor, and I will not have anything to do with any woman except you."

He explained that Lanying thought of Hebai, and looked at him with a half-smile, "What about Hebai?"

Ye Juelu choked up, "...Hebai calls you sister-in-law, and she is also your sister."

Ming Lanying snorted perfunctorily, "Who is Tai Yi?"

Ye Juelu withdrew his hand and gently pushed the swing for her, "The leader of my personal guards, there are 66 members of the personal guards in the mansion, if there is anything Hebai needs to do in the future, you can tell him."

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, and asked tentatively: "For example, murder and set fire, rob houses, murder for money?"

Ye Juelu nodded, "As long as it's not detrimental to the emperor, you can do whatever you want."

Ming Lanying showed her trump card in front of him, and Ye Juelu also trusted her, and told her about the guards, which surprised Ming Lanying.

"Does the emperor know?"

"In addition to the emperor, you are the third person who knows." Gently pushing the swing with her hand, Ming Lanying's hair tails caressed his hand from time to time, making people itch, "This is the last trump card to protect the emperor." , the personal guards in the mansion are all dark guards who can stand up to ten, and if there is any accident, the emperor can leave Beijing safely."

"Is that what you told me?"

Ming Lanying couldn't believe it, how could he explain such an important matter to her so clearly?
"It doesn't matter if it's yours."

The voice from above her head was low and slow, pleasant to the ear, making her ears itchy, Ming Lanying's heart beat violently, a little flustered and joyful, which made her a little confused.

Ye Juelu saw that her ears were blushing, and the corner of her mouth raised a smile. Indeed, as long as she was the current Ming Lanying, it didn't matter. He believed in her character, and also believed in his own vision.

Ming Lanying's reaction also reassured him, at least it's good that he wasn't really ruthless towards him, she was smiling in a place she couldn't see, as if bathing in the last ray of spring breeze, handsome and graceful, Xiao Shuxuan raised, azure If God, the sun is not as bright as his satisfied smile.

As soon as Ning'er woke up, she saw her parents playing on the swing in the yard, one with reddish face and the other with spring breeze, tilting her head in doubt.

In the end, Song Shanshan was left hanging until the family finished their breakfast.

Song Shanshan saw Ming Lanying with a slender figure and a face like a lotus at the first sight. She had lost a lot of weight after not seeing her for a few months. Her icy muscles and bones were like a piece of flawless jade, and there was a touch of blush on her cheeks. She was bright and glamorous. People can't take their eyes off.

Song Shanshan gritted her teeth with hatred when she saw Ming Lanying like this, and when she caught a glimpse of the figure behind Ming Lanying, she quickly adjusted her expression and smiled softly.

"Lan Ying, Brother Ye, long time no see."

"What did Miss Song come to other people's house uninvited this morning? Today is not a holiday, and everyone in the house is very busy. Please don't mind the poor hospitality." Ming Lanying didn't bother to respond, He went straight to the first seat and sat down, looked up at her coldly, didn't even bother to sneer, "What is Miss Song doing staring at other people's husband? If you have something to say, hurry up."

After Ye Juelu poured her a cup of tea silently, he sat next to her and wiped the dagger silently, without even looking at Song Shanshan.

What Ming Lanying said was that she didn't save any face, but Song Shanshan was annoyed but still put on a show, bit her lips unwillingly, took two steps towards Ye Juelu lightly, and said jokingly : "Lanying, you are still as rude as ever. I just heard that Brother Ye and you have both gone to Beijing. I was busy helping Brother Ye with socializing and thanking you a few days ago. I didn't have time to meet you. Today I am free." .”

Ming Lanying glanced at her strangely, with scrutiny in her contemptuous eyes, according to her understanding of Song Shanshan's temperament, if she knew that the emperor was going to marry her and Ye Juelu, she should have taken off in front of her long ago , How can you bring up old things again, and say these innocuous scenes.

Ming Lanying tilted Erlang's legs lightly, put her hands on her knees, and said, "Miss Song, if you have something to do, let's talk about it, otherwise I'm afraid I'll get impatient and call someone to see off the guests."

There are some things that she has to say today, Song Shanshan's heart skipped a beat, her beautiful eyes stared straight at Ming Lanying.

"It's just been a long time, and I miss you very much. Today I came to see you and Brother Ye, but on the way here, I heard some bad rumors. Lan Ying, don't be angry..."

"You said it was a gossip and you want me not to be angry, so Miss Song should keep her noisy and annoying mouth shut? With her mouth like a parrot, she only relays other people's words. I'm tired of hearing it. You shut up and I won't be angry."

Song Shanshan was taken aback, and Ming Lanying's mouth came out. Before she could react, she was about to refute a few words, when Ming Lanying looked at her with a half-smile, with disdain and sarcasm in her eyes. As if looking at a cheap thing, Song Shanshan felt a strong sense of humiliation. Before the rebuttal came to her lips, she heard Ming Lanying say it again.

"Miss Song just wanted to meet us? Then you really just wanted to see, see, and that's all, you didn't even bring a gift for the meeting. If it weren't for the fact that other people came to visit us a few days ago and brought things with them, I thought I would go in the capital. You don’t need to bring presents when visiting other people’s houses! Could it be that Ms. Song is so shy that she can’t afford a meeting gift? But a few days ago, I heard that Ms. Song was once appointed as the leader by the emperor, she’s very impressive~”

Song Shanshan's face froze, she came to humiliate Ming Lanying, not a guest, of course she wouldn't bring a gift, instead she smiled slightly, and decided to avoid the serious and take the light, she wanted to find her place again.

"Has Lanying already known? It's just that I was lucky that day. A poem I wrote casually won the favor of the emperor. It's good if I can help Brother Ye."

After speaking, he glanced at Ye Juelu shyly. Ye Juelu paused and moved towards Ming Lanying, trying to stay away from Song Shanshan.
