Ying Ning was silent.

The brother and sister were speechless for a moment.

"By the way, how is father's illness? Is there any reason why the emperor summoned father to the palace?"

"My father has a big heart. He's not angry. He caught a cold accidentally and doesn't interfere with anything."

"Although my father has always been strong, he is getting older after all. He suffered so many injuries when he was young. It is inevitable that he will feel pain and discomfort when he gets older. You still need to take good care of yourself."

"Don't worry, we have a second brother at home!"

Li Diyao showed a reliable smile.

Ying Ning also smiled slightly and said: "Second brother has grown up and can support the family."

"Isn't it because eldest brother is not at home? Otherwise, I would rather be a hands-off shopkeeper and not care about anything." Li Diyao spread his hands, "During this period, I have been running between the Hanlin Academy and my family. I am so busy that I can't even breathe. I don't know when eldest brother will be.

When I come back, I can have a rest."

"Brother, why can't I get five or six months?" Ying Ning guessed.

According to the timeline, the change from rice to mulberry was about that time when things took a turn for the better.

Seeing his sister's expression changing, Li Diyao suddenly came over and said, "Speaking of which, some time ago, you and the eldest brother were secretly chattering together, and then the eldest brother went to Zhejiang. Is there something you are hiding from me?

"

"No."

"The answer is so simple, it must be true!"

Li Diyao curled his lips, "You obviously played better with your second brother in the past, but now you don't play with your second brother, you only hang out with your eldest brother!"

Ying Ning smiled and said: "Second brother, you are a gentle scholar. Some things like fighting and killing are not suitable for you."

"Fighting and killing? Who do you want your eldest brother to kill?"

"Just to use an analogy, can I still let my eldest brother kill people?" Ying Ning said with a smile, "Didn't my eldest brother go to work on changing rice to mulberry? You also know how much the emperor values ​​this matter. I just think about my eldest brother.

Think of a way, nothing else."

"real?"

"Then there's still a lie."

"You ran back by yourself, what will you do with Ci'er?" Li Diyao asked, "In my opinion, just bring the child back. You can live peacefully at home. You're so scared!"

"I'm not afraid, but what about the rest of the family?" Ying Ning pursed her lips toward her mother's room, "I'm so angry that I can't even get up. If I bring another child back, my mother won't be able to bear it.

There are already rumors. Not to mention the reputation of the Marquis Mansion."

"What's not famous about it? Is reputation more important than the separation of a family?"

"Second brother won't marry second sister-in-law?"

"I won't marry you anymore!"

"Seeing that the third and fourth sisters are about to reach the age of marriage, do you not care about them anymore?"

"this……"

Li Diyao was speechless.

There is no way. In an honorable family, when a man marries a woman, it is all about good reputation and reputation.

Although he was dissatisfied, he could not change this fact.

Li Diyao slapped the pillar angrily, "This Lu Qinghan is so hateful! Treacherous! Damn it!"

"Second brother, don't do this."

Ying Ning patted his hand and said, "It's not easy for Lu Qinghan either."

"Haha, it's not easy for him, but he is a man! The news that you were about to get engaged spread throughout the capital. Now that he has broken the engagement, the only person in the capital who laughs at you, not him, Lu Qinghan!"

"It's really miserable to be a woman."

Yingning nodded and sighed.
