"Good children, let's see what you have taught us!" This matter today, you can decide on your own! "

Ming Chengyan looked at Mu clearly, and then flicked his sleeves and left in anger.

Madame Ye hurriedly followed. After she understood what was going on, her footsteps paused slightly. She looked at her good-for-nothing son and let out a heavy sigh. Only then did she leave.

Knowing that Mu had been reprimanded, everyone returned to the courtyard in displeasure. All of the maidservants in the courtyard tactfully avoided them. No one wanted to bring trouble upon themselves in order to avoid the punishment.

"Aunt, the Young Master is back. He was furious in the study just now." Xiao Li immediately went into the house to report the situation to Meier.

Meier was sitting on the soft bed, excitedly trying out his newly acquired almonds. Upon hearing Xiao Li's words, the smile on his face couldn't help but retract, "May I ask what caused this fire?"

"This servant doesn't know." Xiao Li shook his head, "I only heard that he just came back from the west yard to pay respects. As soon as he entered the room, he smashed everything in the house, and no one dared to come near."

Hearing that he had gone to the main yard, Meier's face changed, and immediately put away the pill essence on the table, "Where did the young master go?"

"Young Master is warming up the books in the courtyard." Xiao Li asked curiously.

"Send someone to investigate the reason why Eldest Young Master had a dispute with Second Young Master in the antique shop today." Meier immediately instructed.

Xiao Li acknowledged and quickly left.

The news from the capital spread all over, and it didn't take long for it to spread through the streets and alleyways, so Xiao Li quickly asked for the truth, and quickly returned home to tell it to Meier.

Hearing her words, Meier immediately understood why Mu Yu Die was so angry.

That night, he understood that Mu had not come to Meier's room to eat as usual. Even when Meier had sent someone to invite him, he found a reason and immediately rejected the invitation.

Meier knew that he was still angry at himself.

"Aunt, the Young Master said that he would be studying late today, so he decided to take a rest in the study. Please don't wait any longer, please rest early." Xiao Li lowered his head and replied.

"Help me get my makeup done and I'll personally go to the study room." Meier hurriedly said.

Now that she knew that even though Mu didn't care about the Madame Jiang, she still had many concubines at home, especially that Qing Cui. Her fox like skills were extraordinary, she couldn't let that woman take the opportunity to seduce Ming Mu.

"Yes, Aunt." Xiao Li responded as he started to help Meier dress up.

Meier meticulously dressed up before letting Xiao Li bring the prepared wine to the study room.

"Mu Lang." She raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door. Seeing that there was no response, she pushed it open and walked in.

Meier acted as if he did not see her at all, holding onto the book with rapt attention as he placed all the food and wine on the table. After he dismissed the servants, he walked towards Zhi Mu.

"Mu Lang, I was too careless today's matter."

Meier walked to the study table, her voice gentle, "I never thought that at such a young age, Yuchun would actually be so good at scheming. Our Ning'er is simple in nature, how could we be his match?

"Mu Lang, everything that happened today was my fault …" Meier covered her face and sobbed.

"This has nothing to do with you, and I'm not blaming you." When Zhi Mu heard the woman's crying, he couldn't sit still. His heart ached so much that he got up and hugged her to comfort her in a low voice.

"Mu Lang, it's really bitter for me and Ning'er. Both of them are of the Duke Palaces' bloodline, but since Ning'er was born from a concubine, he has to lower himself to a person's level at all times …"

Meier pretended to be very pitiful.

"In my eyes, our children are the best." Zhi Mu quickly comforted her.

Meier held onto a handkerchief and wiped his tears, feeling extremely pitiful. He leaned towards the man and said, "Mu Lang, you haven't eaten dinner yet, right? I've specially ordered someone to prepare some dishes that you like to eat.

Seeing that Mu's mood had stabilized, she quickly pulled him to the inner room.

He then caressed the woman's face with a pained expression and led her to sit down. "Come, you have to eat too."

"Alright." Meier smiled as he sat down, reached out to grab some food that made him understand Mu Yi's taste, and personally fed it to him.

The two of them sat in front of the table as they ate dinner. After understanding that Meier had brought wine, they followed and drank two cups together, and without realizing it, they drank too much.

The slightly warm candlelight shined on the woman's face, making her look even more charming and enchanting.

"Meier, you look really good today." He understood that there was a trace of drunkenness in Mu's eyes.

"Mu Lang, do you think I didn't look good yesterday?" Meier pretended to be unhappy and moved his body to the side.

"My Meier always looks good, but today, he looks the best." He leaned forward, pulled the woman into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.

That night, he understood that even though Mu Mu wasn't resting in Meier's room, Meier was staying in the study room.

Minister Mansion.

"Brother Wen, in two days, the army will depart. The journey will be arduous, so you must be careful on the road. With Second Uncle and Father here, you don't have to worry about me."

Shen Zhu reminded Su Zongwen as he helped to pack.

Surrounding and annihilating – this phrase was very dangerous, but she could not stop her husband's ambition. She could only prepare the drugs that were convenient to carry, as there were many healing drugs that were exchanged with the system.

While she was packing up, she was talking about the effects of the medicine.

"Yes." Su Zongwen pulled the woman who had her head lowered into his embrace tightly, and said with a face full of pain: "Yue Niang, after I go out to battle, it's been hard on you at home."

"Brother Wen, these are all nothing, it's just …" Shen Zhu lowered his eyes, worry hard to conceal on his face: "I don't know when you'll be able to return from this trip, blades and swords have no eyes, you must be extra careful, we'll wait for your triumphant return at home."

"My martial arts are so good, don't worry. It will definitely be fine." Su Zongwen patted his back in consolation.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Don't you still have me?"

Just as the two of them were about to be unable to part, a gentle voice rang in the room.

Su Zongwen and Shen Zhu heard the noise and turned to look at the door.

"Your Highness, Prince Su." Shen Zhu bowed to the person.

"Sister-in-law, no need to be so courteous." Ming Jiling immediately spoke up, he looked at the two of them and chuckled: "As the commander in chief of the army, I will definitely protect my cousin well. Sister, please be at ease, as long as I am here, I will not let those bandits harm my cousin."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Zhu laughed.

"Why is His Highness here at this time?" Su Zongwen asked.

"It's like this. The great army is about to depart in the future. I was just about to talk to you about a plan to march."

Ming Jiling said warmly.

"Since His Highness has something to discuss with you, then quickly go." Shen Zhu said considerately when he heard this.

Su Zongwen looked at Shen Zhu and exhorted her a few more things before gesturing towards Ming Jiling with a request, "Since that's the case, Your Highness, please follow me to the study room to discuss this matter."

"Alright."

Just as the two were about to go out, they saw the servant beside Su Zhizhong. When he saw Su Zongwen and the others, he immediately bowed to them: "This servant greets His Highness Prince Su, Second Young Master, Second Young Madam."

"Second Young Master, Master invites you to the study room." The attendant hurriedly explained after bowing.

"I know."

Su Zongwen replied, he turned and looked at Ming Jiling, but before he could say anything, Ming Jiling had replied him with keen eyes.

"Since uncle has matters to attend to, go ahead cousin. I'll wait for you in the study."

"Then I'll ask Chun Cao to bring you to the study room." Su Zongwen nodded.

"No need, I'll go by myself."

Before, when Ming Jiling came to the Minister Mansion, he had been to Su Zongwen's study many times, so he didn't need anyone to lead him there to find it.

Su Zongwen did not bother to be overly polite and followed him.

The main courtyard, the study room.

"My son greets my father." Su Zongwen entered the house and bowed when he saw Su Zhizhong.

"Zong Wen, you're here. Take a seat."

Seeing Su Zongwen entering the room, Su Zhizhong hurriedly stood up from behind the table, "Is the great army leaving by the next day?"

"That's right, the emperor has already decreed that the great army will depart in the future when they announce it."

Su Zongwen walked to the seat under the table and sat down, and said solemnly.

Su Zhizhong slightly nodded, and warned: "This expedition's difficulty is unpredictable. Those bandits are all ruthless, so you all must be careful on your journey …"

Although Su Zhizhong did not normally speak much, he had warned Su Zongwen quite a few times today.

Su Zongwen knew that he was worried, so he sat down and seriously listened to his father's instructions.

"Your son remembers father's teachings." Su Zongwen waited until Su Zhizhong finished warning before he spoke.

The father and son talked for a long time in the study room. Su Zongwen thought that Ming Jiling was still waiting for him in the small study room, so he did not stay for long.

Su Zhizhong naturally knew that Ming Jiling was still in his residence, so he did not say too much, "I've said everything I had to say, and heard from the people below that the Prince Su was still there. If you have anything to do, then go and busy yourselves, I will not detain you any longer."

"Your son is leaving." Su Zongwen nodded and left the main yard.
