When Liu Mingzhi and the others had just reached the street outside the main entrance of Liu Mansion, Liu Song broke away from the team and ran back to report.
In the garden of the inner courtyard of the Liu Mansion, Liu Zhi'an, who was busy at an altar table, heard Liu Song's shout and subconsciously turned around to look.
After listening to Liu Song's report, Liu Zhi'an hesitated for a moment, then gently put down the things in his hands and trotted towards the bedroom.
"I'm going to change into formal clothes first. You go and inform the madam and the young madam."
"Yes, it's from Xiaosong."
By the time Young Master Liu and his party arrived outside the mansion, Liu Zhi'an and his wife, Qi Yun and other beauties had already arrived outside the gate and waited for a short while.
If only Young Master Liu and Liu Xuan were back, Liu Zhi'an and his wife would naturally not need to go out to greet them. However, there were also brothers Wen Renzheng and Bai Hu Lai in the group.
One is his wife's biological father, his father-in-law, and the other is the former mountain chief and his current in-laws. How dare Liu Zhi'an not go out to greet him.
"My son-in-law, Liu Zhi'an, has met his father-in-law, his fourth brother, and his thirteenth sister."
"Student Liu Zhi'an, I met the old mountain leader."
"Binger meets father."
"Liu Shi Bai Bing has met the old mountain leader."
"My sisters have met my grandfather, my fourth uncle, and my thirteenth aunt."
"Sisters, I have met Mr. Wenren, Mr. Laoshan."
"Student Zi is happy to meet his teacher."
"Granddaughter Yun Shu pays homage to grandpa."
"Sisters, please meet your husband."
"Okay, okay, let's skip all these common etiquette."
"Everyone, get up, everyone, there's no need to be so polite."
After hearing about Renzheng, Bai Hulai and Bai Hulai no longer cared about the false courtesy, and Liu Mingzhi didn't care even more. He waved his hands casually and walked towards the door.
"Okay, okay, old man, mother, it's getting late, let's not stand outside the door and be polite to each other. We've been tired for a long time. Let's talk at home first.
Grandpa, old man, please come first. "
"Together, we agreed not to talk about these vulgar etiquette."
The whole family listened to Bai Ling'er describing the events that happened in the imperial mausoleum, and rushed to the inner courtyard of the Liu Mansion with expressions that were sometimes amazed and sometimes nervous.
Among the crowd, only the third princess Li Yan's beautiful face had a hint of indescribable sadness despite her nervousness. After all, the corpses left outside the father's mausoleum were all loyal to his father Li Zheng and the Li royal family. Loyal ministers and righteous men!
However, with the Li family on one side and her husband on the other, she was caught in the middle as the third princess of the previous dynasty. It was such a dilemma.
She was overjoyed that her husband could return safely, but also deeply saddened by the fate of the film owner and the others.
Because Liu Mingzhi remembered what the third princess had asked him to do in the study, he had been silently paying attention to the change in the beauty's face after entering the door.
Seeing the complicated and unspeakable sad look on the third princess's pretty face, I couldn't help but feel sore in my heart. After all, I had failed the beauty's expectations!
However, it's not that I don't want to let the film owner and the others go, and then come back to see Yan'er happy, it's actually that the film owner and the others have made up their minds.
I gave them many opportunities, but they...
I had no choice but to wait until everyone had gone back to rest, and then I could go to the third princess to comfort her.
Um? what is that?
Incense case? Offering table? Sacrifice? What's happening here? Why are you placing all these things in the garden today, as it is no longer a holiday?
Young Master Liu paused and pointed to several sacrificial objects in the garden with a confused expression.
"Old man, mother, you are so good, why are you placing offerings on the table in the garden?"
As soon as Young Master Liu said this, the others also noticed the sacrificial objects in the garden. After hearing Young Master Liu's words, they subconsciously looked at Liu Zhi'an and his wife.
Mrs. Liu looked in the direction of her son's finger, and her mature and soft beautiful eyes were also stunned for a moment. Apparently she had just learned about these things.
Her beautiful eyes glanced at Liu Zhi'an with confusion, and Mrs. Liu gently shook her head at her son.
"My mother doesn't know either. Ask your father."
"Old man?"
Liu Zhi'an felt the eyes of everyone seeking knowledge, rubbed his nose angrily, and took the initiative to walk towards the altar table in the garden. Everyone didn't know why and had no choice but to follow.
Young Master Liu couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the things on the altar table: "Hey, let me go, the sacrifices, incense candles and paper money are all ready? No, what is going on?
Who is leaving in our family? No, isn’t everything that should be here here? No one is missing. "
Liu Zhi'an raised his eyes to look at the white moon in the sky and sighed silently, then turned to look at Young Master Liu and waved his hand nonchalantly.
"I prepared it for you... I never thought you would be so lucky to come back alive!"
"Fuck."
Young Master Liu uttered a curse word and looked at Liu Zhian with a twitching look on his face.
Everyone was also shocked by Liu Zhi'an's words. Their faces were wandering back and forth between the two men with strange expressions. They really didn't know what to say.
These two men are amazing!
"Old man, you can do it, you really can! Master, I haven't even prepared this for you yet! You made arrangements for me first."
"I'm just doing this to be prepared! Anyway, these things aren't worth a lot of money. If you don't need them, don't use them. Why don't you just throw them away?"
"This...this...is this something valuable or not?"
Liu Zhi'an ignored Mr. Liu's tangled expression of about to scold his mother, picked up a handful of incense and put it on the flickering candle nearby to light it. He bowed to the night sky and bowed three times. He breathed a sigh of relief and inserted it. In the incense burner.
"What are you doing? Old man, what do you want to do? Didn't you just say that you can just throw it away? Why did you still use it?
No, what do you mean? Young Master, I am standing here alive and kicking. What do you mean by doing this?
Do you want to send me away or something? "
The rest of the people also looked at Liu Zhi'an with strange expressions. They were also stunned by Liu Zhi'an's operation.
"Why are you making such a fuss? Just treat it like an old man and I'll give it to you in advance!
It's been a hundred years since I've passed. If you want me to offer incense to you, I can't even do it. If I deliver it to you in advance, you won't be happy.
If you don't say cherish this opportunity, that's all. At least don't be impatient! "
"I'll fuck you...ahem...uh huh..."
Young Master Liu stopped what he was saying in time, coughed a few times, and stared at Liu Zhi'an for a while.
Until Liu Zhi'an felt a little hairy at the sight, Young Master Liu suddenly turned around, picked up a handful of incense, lit it with a candle, bowed three times to the night sky just like Liu Zhi'an did before, and silently inserted it into the incense burner.
"Old man, this young master and I will reciprocate our courtesy. Neither of us owes anything to the other."
Everyone was shocked again by Young Master Liu's operation. They looked at the two incense sticks with smoke rising from the incense burner and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
These two men are simply like the female Duan Tiankui, absolutely stunning.
"My mother-in-law, Liu Mingzhi, you bastard, I will kill you, you bastard."
"Hey, hey, you can't afford it, right? Can't you afford it?"
"You're just kidding me, please stop me."
"Put down the broom and I will stop."
"Just stop, I'll put down the broom."
"Put down the broom and I will stop."
"I won't let you go, just stop."
Everyone finally recovered from the commotion between the two men and hurriedly caught up to break up the fight.
What would it be like if the two of them were allowed to continue to quarrel.
A moment later, Young Master Liu, who had been kicked by Liu Zhian on the buttocks, walked towards the main hall with an annoyed look on his face, looking at Madam Liu and the others with resentful eyes.
If they hadn't deliberately pulled off the argument just now, how could he have been kicked by the old man for no reason?
Liu Zhi'an panted and walked towards the main hall amidst the persuasion of everyone. He looked at Young Master Liu who looked unhappy next to him and snorted coldly.
The moment the two of them stepped into the hall door, they both looked back at the altar table with smoke rising in the courtyard, with a complicated look in their eyes.
When they retracted their gazes, the two eyes inevitably touched each other, and they looked at each other for a moment with their eyes dazed. Neither father nor son said anything, and they walked towards their positions consciously.
When the moon was in the middle of the sky, everyone who knew everything that happened in the imperial mausoleum left one after another to rest.
Young Master Liu took a bath in Qi Ya's boudoir and put on a loose robe. He went out and stood in the corridor outside the beauty's boudoir, staring quietly at the bright moon in the sky. His face hesitated for about half an hour.
Liu Mingzhi's body, which had always been upright, suddenly relaxed, and he sighed quietly and walked towards the courtyard.
"Sister Ya, please go to Wanyan's place for your husband. You can rest first."
"Hey, I understand. Husband, don't forget to go to bed early."
A moment later, the queen's plump and graceful jade body was wrapped in a thin and revealing garment that made her skin looming. She welcomed Young Master Liu into the boudoir with a smile as bright as a flower. She poured a cup of herbal tea from a pot and placed it in front of Liu Mingzhi.
"It's getting so late already? Why haven't you gone to bed yet, so heartless?"
Liu Mingzhi picked up the herbal tea and tasted it briefly. He looked hesitantly at the queen who was standing in front of him and pouring tea for herself.
"To put it mildly, I...I...I..."
"What's wrong? Just say no to what you want to say?"
Why are you so hesitant? I'm not so hesitant when I serve you, right? "
If Young Master Liu had heard the Queen's flirtatious words in such a coquettish voice in the past, he would have pounced on her, but this time he sat on the chair and looked at the Queen worriedly.
"To put it bluntly, there is something that my husband has been thinking about for a long time and I want to tell you.
For the sake of the husband...the plan for the husband...the plan is to let Chengzhi and Jingyao move to the East Palace. "
The Queen's action of pouring tea stopped abruptly, and the delicate body looming in the obscene clothes trembled slightly and unnoticeably.
The Queen bit her cherry lips with her white teeth and gently put down the teapot in her hand. A hint of disappointment flashed through her amber eyes, but there was no hint of dissatisfaction.
The Queen did not want to deny what she was thinking, although she had already looked away and was mentally prepared.
But when I heard my husband say these words, my heart finally——
It's still a bit regretful after all.
After taking a sip of tea, the Queen looked at Young Master Liu with a sweet smile.
"OK!"
