Riding the Pheonix Chapter 120: Opportunity

It is almost midnight, and no one in the Ming family is sleeping peacefully.

There are so many people going to Baoling Temple today, of course it is impossible for them all to be detained in the government office.

Irrelevant people were released one by one.

But three people from the Ming family did not come back.

The second master, the fourth master, Ming Sheng.

The second master is the head of the eldest house, and the fourth master is the head of the second house. Now that the Sixth Master is dead, Ming Sheng is the only adult man left in Dongning besides them.

It was like there was no man in the family all of a sudden, and the Ming family was panicked from top to bottom.

Mingwei entered the main hall, Mrs. Ming and others just smiled slightly on their faces and asked her to rest.

Mingwei gave the second lady a wink, and the two went to the next door to talk: "Is the second aunt worried about the second uncle?"

The second lady was in a low mood: "It's just your second uncle. Even your fourth uncle and fourth brother are left behind. I'm afraid..."

Mingwei understands. What the second wife is worried about is the impact of losing her man on the family, not the second master's personal safety.

She considered it carefully and said: "Auntie, I happened to be with Mr. Yang today and I know something..."

The second lady's eyes lit up and she grabbed her hand: "Xiao Qi! What do you know? If you can help us get through the crisis, my aunt will be grateful for your kindness for the rest of her life!"

Ming Wei said: "Auntie, to tell you the truth, fourth uncle and fourth brother are not seriously injured and will be released home later. But second uncle..."

"How is your second uncle?"

Mingwei shook his head: "Maybe I can't go home."

The second lady was startled when she heard this and did not move for a while.

For a long time, the second lady's eyes filled with tears: "My poor child!" Then she grabbed Mingwei and asked, "Is your third brother unable to end?"

If the second master is convicted, his children will have no chance of an official career.

Mingwei was silent.

The second lady understood, she hid her face and cried twice, and couldn't help cursing: "I should have known that he wanted to kill my child. I only hate it because blood relatives cannot be separated! I knew it when he did that to my eldest sister. He is heartless!"

Mingwei's eyes flashed and he asked in a low voice: "Second aunt, what happened to the eldest sister back then?"

At this time, the second lady had nothing to hide and said to her: "When the eldest sister went to the palace for a banquet, the young master of the Li family saw him for some reason. The eldest sister saw that he was rude and scolded him. , who would have thought that he would be so concerned about me, and later he would plot against me and make me feel frivolous..."

When the second lady mentioned this matter, she gritted her teeth with hatred: "The young master of the Li family has a wife for a long time, but he wants to ask his eldest sister to be his concubine! He is dreaming! It's just that the prince of the county supports his family, but he can't. I I can only marry your eldest sister far away...poor eldest sister!"

Ming Wei had already made a guess, but she didn’t know who the person who was frivolous about her eldest sister was. At this time, I sighed in my heart and asked: "Second uncle, don't you have any expression?"

The second lady sneered: "He is just a boneless person! Because the county king agreed, he actually thought about making the eldest sister his concubine. Then what kind of thing is the young master of the Li family? Even if he wants to marry the eldest sister, he has no idea. I don’t like him!"

For a mother, her children are the most precious. The eldest lady has suffered such a great shame and humiliation. No wonder the second lady hates the second master so much.

After the second lady's mood stabilized, Mingwei said slowly: "Second aunt, if you want to save the second uncle, I can't do it. However, there is an opportunity now, maybe I can save the third brother and the sixth brother. , you..."

The second lady suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of hope: "Say! If you can save them, the second aunt will work for you in this life and the next life!"

Mingwei said tactfully: "I just have such an opportunity. I can't guarantee whether it will happen or not. I can't get involved in this matter. Auntie has to beg other people."

"If you have the chance, it will happen." How dare the second lady ask for too much, "Xiao Qi, how can you teach Auntie to fight for this opportunity?"

Mingwei sighed: "Aunt, can I let my second uncle go?"

The second lady was stunned for a moment.

"You must have noticed that the second uncle did something behind your back. The current crisis of the Ming family is that the things that the second uncle did are exposed. This matter is too involved and will be heard by the heavens. No one I can save my second uncle. But the current plan is to pay for the crime and perform meritorious service. Maybe I can save the remaining people."

The second lady was stunned: "Is it so serious?"

Mingwei nodded: "Second aunt should discuss it with great aunt. As I expected, the eldest uncle and fifth uncle in the capital cannot escape their involvement. Even if they lose their positions, it is considered a great favor from the emperor."

The second lady trembled: "What if we can't get away with it and make meritorious service?"

"The most serious consequence will be," Mingwei said softly, "the confiscation of the family and the annihilation of the clan."

The second lady fell down on the chair, stunned.

"Think carefully, time is running out." Mingwei bowed to her and returned to Yu Fangyuan.

Duofu has sent it back.

Because he had orders, Ah Xuan personally escorted her back.

The Ming family knew his identity, so they temporarily put aside any distinction between inside and outside and allowed him to go straight in.

"What's wrong with Duofu?" Seeing her face twisted and bleeding from all seven holes, Bing Xin and Su Jie were frightened.

Mingwei took the handkerchief, carefully wiped the blood from Duofu's face, asked them to prepare pen and paper, drew up a prescription, and said, "Ask someone to get some medicine."

The two girls stupidly took the prescription and thought to themselves, when did the young lady know the medical skills?

Mingwei Mingwei only has a brief understanding of medical knowledge~IndoMTL.com~This prescription is used to restrain evil spirits.

"Are you frightened today?"

After listening to her question, Bing Xin hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Miss, Grandma is fine. Those officers and soldiers did not disturb each other."

Mingwei nodded: "Duofu was injured today to protect me. Find two attentive girls to take good care of Duofu. Apply medicine and wipe her body every day. Don't be careless. She may still be in coma for several days. ”

Sujie promised: "Bing Xin and I will take turns to watch, so they won't dare to neglect."

These two maids are stable and reliable, and Mingwei is relieved to leave Duofu to them.

She went back to the house to freshen up and change clothes, but did not fall asleep immediately. She carried a lantern and went to the mourning hall alone.

Looking at a lone lamp flickering from a distance, the old man in the mourning hall was almost frightened. It wasn't until she came closer that her heart dropped: "Miss Seventh, are you still coming to see the Third Lady at such a late hour?"

Mingwei responded vaguely before entering.

The old man said hurriedly: "Miss Qi, it's so late, you'd better come back tomorrow."

Mingwei turned to look at him.

The old man was afraid that she would misunderstand his lack of dedication, so he explained: "The fourth master came here during the day and said that he dreamed that the third master wanted to see the third lady... I am afraid that there is too much evil in the house and it will hurt your body."

Mingwei narrowed his eyes: "You said the fourth master came here during the day?"

"Yes! I felt so sad when I heard the fourth master cry. It seems that the third master has really come back to life..."

Mingwei's face was expressionless.

"Although we are a family, there is a difference between yin and yang. Miss Qi, you are young and weak, so it is better not to get involved in yin..."

As the old man talked nonchalantly, Mingwei's thoughts had already drifted away.

There are some things that she didn't pay attention to before, but now she finally knows.
