Outside the door, Chen Ning led Xiao Xi in and walked in.
Ming Lanruo smiled, Xiao Xi went to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother today, and came out a little late, so she asked someone to take the child directly to the residence of Duke Ming Guo.
The little man walked up to Mr. Qin, who was tied into a rice dumpling, and said, "Okay, Mrs. Former Duke, do you have any questions?"
Ms. Qin was extremely angry, her eyes were red, and her whole body was trembling: "You, you, you..."
"Okay, now that you have recognized me, the young prince, give up the idea of robbing me of my money, otherwise I will beat others! No one can rob me of my money!"
Xiao Xi raised her big eyes and smiled, then stepped hard with her little feet - "Crack!"
The thick bluestone slab under his feet suddenly cracked into spider web-like stripes!
There were even small, sharp stones that directly scratched Qin's face!
Qin's pupils shrank, and the pain on her face made her wince.
Grandma Chang and others were even more expressionless, feeling that the mother and son in front of them were simply monsters!
Ming Lanruo held Xiao Xi's hand and looked at Mr. Qin coldly: "Have you made your choice?"
"No, I have no merit but hard work, you dare to touch me!" Ms. Qin struggled to death and tried to look to the housekeeper for help.
But the housekeeper looked at her indifferently, he would only listen to the Duke's words.
But Grandma Chang suddenly stepped forward and blocked Qin's mouth with her handkerchief. Then, she kowtowed to Ming Lanruo.
"Miss, let's go to the family temple. I beg you, for the sake of the fact that you and the second lady are both flesh and blood sisters of the Duke, please spare her and take care of her!"
Ming Lanruo looked at Nanny Chang and remembered that she was actually Ming Yueying's nanny and she really had some feelings for Ming Yueying.
She said leisurely: "I will give my aunt a way out, just because she is the second sister's biological mother."
Aunt Chang took a deep breath and said to Ming Lanruo: "I will take my wife to pack things right now!"
Jing Ming said simply: "No need, the eldest lady has prepared everything you need. The carriage is waiting outside the door, and the guards are also prepared for you. You can return to your hometown ancestral temple in a month."
Grandma Chang was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and decisively signaled to several maids to hold down the struggling Mr. Qin and get up: "Yes, we are leaving now."
The eldest lady's action was really resolute!
Once they leave the capital, they will probably not be able to come back until they die, and will have to spend the rest of their lives in the ancestral temple...
Qin's whole body felt like falling into an abyss, drowned in despair!
Ming Lanruo watched Aunt Chang and others leaving the ancestral hall under the escort of Jing Ming, and then she looked at Xiao Xi——
"Now that you are here, go and put a stick of incense on the memorial tablet of the ancestors of the Ming family. From now on, you will be the young prince of the Duke of Ming Dynasty."
Xiao Xi hesitated for a moment and asked Ming Lanruo in a low voice: "Mother, wouldn't the... big devil have any objections? My surname will be clear from now on."
Ming Lanruo paused with the hand that lit the incense and touched his little head: "Don't worry so much."
Xiao Xi nodded obediently: "Okay!"
Whatever my mother said, that’s what I said!
He took the incense and followed the instructions of the chief steward to burn incense on the tablets of the ancestors of the Ming family.
Looking at the calm look of the man who was less than six years old, the chief steward seemed to have seen Ming Yuan Long in his youth.
He thought happily that from now on he would be another young man with amazing talents.
...
East Palace
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Your Highness, you can't beat me any more. The Crown Princess is going to be beaten to death by you. She is your wife!"
Xingren hugged Shangguanzhou's legs tightly.
Shangguan Zhou was holding a blood-stained whip, and his originally gentle and handsome features were now distorted.
He looked gloomily at Ming Yueying who was huddled behind the table, but smiled and said: "My dear concubine, when you send information to outsiders, you feel like you are a lonely wife."
Ming Yueying was beaten all over, she was trembling and looked at Shangguan Zhou: "I just wrote a letter to my mother to report that she is safe..."
"Pa!" Another whip struck her body hard.
Ming Yueying screamed: "Ah!"
Shangguan Zhou sneered: "You are still lying. The person who sent you the letter is from the Queen Mother's palace. Your letter will only reach Ming Lanruo!"
Ming Yueying's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the cold water. She gritted her teeth and said: "She...she is my eldest sister, I just..."
"Shut up! Aren't you, a bitch, incompatible with her? Why, do you think you can get out of the East Palace alive by trying to please her?!"
Shangguan Zhou kicked the almond open, stepped forward and pinched Ming Yueying's throat with one hand, his expression ferocious.
