Liu Mingzhi was speechless by Chen Jie's words and could only scratch the back of his head and giggle.
However, after laughing for a while, Liu Mingzhi suddenly realized: "That's not right, then how do you know that it must be me who is having a secret affair with the concubine...Shu'er?"
After all, there are so many men in the world, and it is possible for anyone. How can you be sure that I am the man who makes Shuer radiant, with a rosy and shiny complexion? "
After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he hurriedly looked at He Shu: "Shu'er, don't think about it. I don't mean anything else. I'm just a little confused. How did Jie'er guess that things happened to me."
Chen Jie released her jade fingers holding He Shu's cheek and sighed quietly.
"My sister and I are the empress dowager and concubine of the previous dynasty, so we are no longer taken seriously by the clan, but after all, our status is here!
Although my sister has lost contact with the clan mansion after going to Mingzhou, she has been living in the child's princess mansion, Jingyao, since she returned to Beijing.
Even though my sister's status as the former concubine was not taken seriously, you did not revoke the clan rights of the Li family in the clan mansion and the title of princess of the child Jingyao.
With Jingyao's status, no ordinary person would dare to have a secret affair with the former concubine.
Even some bold young men of power and wealthy young masters have to think twice, lest they get into trouble.
After all, with your attitude towards the clan government, the officials in the capital still dare not provoke the Li family clan members easily.
After much thought, only you, the Lord, dare to do this.
After all, you have already got your hands on the Ai family, and it is not a shocking thing to extend your claws to your sister.
Of course, at first, it was just the Aijia's suspicion, and they were not sure that the person was you.
After all, it's just some unfounded guesses, but who makes my sister very honest and not cheating!
In just a few words, I found out that the man was you! "
Liu Mingzhi suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Shu'er who told you. I asked Jie'er why you were so categorical that it was me all of a sudden."
Chen Jie rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu with a resentful look: "The Ai family and my sister didn't mention the past because of the two children... alas...
Today, my sister suddenly came to visit the Ai family to reminisce about old times. I was also shocked and confused.
Later, I gradually calmed down, and after I asked the wet nurse to take Lian Niang away, I packed up Lian Niang's belongings before meeting my sister.
While reminiscing about old times, I noticed that there was something wrong with my sister’s every move, every frown, and every smile.
It doesn't look like the temperament and charm that a woman who has been out of touch for a long time should have.
Later, I found out about you, my enemy and my sister. "
Liu Mingzhi smiled bitterly and nodded, his eyes lingering silently on the two women for a while: "Actually, I have long planned to confess what happened between the three of us.
It’s just that I haven’t found the right opportunity.
Now that you know each other's affairs, I feel more relaxed. "
Chen Jie turned her eyes and looked at He Shu for a while, then lowered her head to look at the daughter in her arms, with a sad smile on her lips: "First the Ai family, and then my sister, they both fell into your clutches.
You are really my husband... your eldest brother's good brother! "
Liu Mingzhi's face froze, and he looked at the two sisters Chen Jie in a daze for a while.
"Jie'er, it's up to you to stop talking about what's going on between us. Don't talk about it anymore.
Anyway, I, Liu Mingzhi, am just a hypocrite who claims to be righteous, so what can I say?
It’s getting late, let’s eat, eat!
Our family of three...should be four, now that we have said it, our family of four will have a good reunion dinner. "
The two women looked at each other with complicated eyes and nodded silently, indicating that they approved Liu Mingzhi's suggestion.
Under Chen Jie's instructions, two maids successively delivered five dishes and one soup, and also prepared two jars of aged wine.
In a slightly weird atmosphere, a family dinner that was not worthy of the name gradually began.
The moon is rising high and the breeze is blowing.
During the dinner, the two girls went together to arrange some delicious side dishes for the maid to deliver.
The infant Liu Lianniang was handed over to the maid by Chen Jie at some point and sent to the wet nurse to sleep peacefully.
"Madam, the hot water is ready. Just give me instructions when you need to take a bath!"
Chen Jie motioned to the maid to go down, and looked at each other silently with He Shu, whose face was slightly red. A hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, and she silently picked up a piece of green vegetables and chewed it slowly.
It was obvious that the sisters had made some plans.
Liu Mingzhi burped and stood up with a slightly drunken look, as if he didn't see the two women's thoughts at all.
"Hiccup! Jie'er, Shu'er, it's almost time to eat, I'll go back first.
It's getting late, Shu'er, please don't go back to Jingyao's princess mansion. Stay at your sister's place for one night, so that you two can catch up on old friendships.
I had almost finished drinking, so I went back first! "
The two women were stunned for a moment, then stood up in a hurry: "It's so late and it's freezing outside. Do you want to go back?"
Liu Mingzhi laughed a few times, picked up only half the jar of wine and staggered towards the door.
"I just drank too much, and with all this wine, I won't be able to freeze.
Let's go now. You guys should have a rest early. "
"Hey...you really..."
The two women stood by the door, staring blankly at Liu Mingzhi, who tightened his cloak and held the wine jar, and his somewhat lonely figure gradually walked away until he disappeared into the dark night of the corridor.
“Sister, those words should have hurt his heart.
After all, before we got along with him, he had always been polite to you and me, the elder sister-in-law and the younger sister-in-law, and never exceeded anything.
Instead, we provoke it first for our own selfish reasons...sigh...
That sentence may have made him feel uncomfortable!
He didn't move his chopsticks once during the dinner, he just sat there drinking alone. "
Chen Jie bit her red lips tightly, leaving a row of clear teeth marks, her eyes gradually became a little panicked: "I - I also said that subconsciously, I didn't expect him... I'm going Ask him to explain."
Chen Jie raised her skirt and was about to chase towards the door of the mansion, but was stopped by He Shu.
"Sister, he drank a lot, let him calm down first, and then explain when he is sober."
Chen Jie was stunned for a while, then smiled gloomily: "I'm a little tired. If you haven't eaten well, keep eating. I'm going to rest first!"
In the inner courtyard of Liu Mansion, the door sounded softly.
"Sister Ya, are you asleep?"
"Husband, you are back. Please wait a moment. I have just finished taking a bath. I will put on some clothes and open the door for you!"
A rustling sound came, and a moment later the door opened.
Qi Ya wiped her wet black hair and looked at Liu Mingzhi standing outside the door with a smile: "Husband, it's time to go to Sister Lingyi today... What's wrong with you? Why did you drink so much? It's the elder brother who invited me again Did you go drink?"
With drunken eyes, Liu Mingzhi put the bottomed wine jar into Qi Ya's hand and staggered towards the room.
"Haha... It's good to be a hypocrite. True gentlemen are dead, but hypocrites live a long time.
Isn't life better than anything else?
A true gentleman or a hypocrite? Isn’t life the best?
I don’t want to die, what’s wrong?
Is it necessary to write in the history books that Dalong stands side by side with Wang Liumingzhi, loyal and virtuous, and a loyal minister through the ages!
Because the king wanted his minister to die, he had no choice but to die. He died in the third year of Dalong Yongping at the age of thirty-four.
Are you satisfied with singing praises and admiring people for future generations? "
Qi Ya looked at her husband who fell directly on the bed and made a heavy sound of sleep after finishing speaking. She quickly put down the wine jar, closed the door and trotted towards the bed.
Seeing Liu Mingzhi's frown, Qi Yamei's eyes were full of distress.
He took off Liu Mingzhi's shoes and socks, straightened him up and covered him with the brocade quilt.
Qi Ya then took off her flimsy clothes and shrank into the brocade quilt. She held her husband in her arms and gently kneaded Liu Mingzhi's temples with her fingers.
"Silly husband, go to sleep! Go to sleep! Everything will be fine when you wake up!"
