Riding the Pheonix Chapter 174: Settled

Ming Sheng is confused. Although he has good friends with classmates in the capital, they don’t know when he will be released from prison...

"Who is your master?"

Seeing that there was no joy on his face, the man paused and replied, "My master's surname is Ji."

Ming Sheng was confused, someone named Ji? He doesn’t remember!

The fourth lady suddenly understood, pulled him and whispered: "Your third aunt's maiden name is Ji."

The third aunt’s natal family, so it is...

Ming Sheng’s expression became very complicated.

Ming Kun asked directly: "Did the Seventh Sister ask someone to pick us up?"

Seeing that the other party did not deny it, Ming Sheng was probably right.

He sighed inwardly, feeling mixed.

Thinking about Dongning, he really couldn't move.

Just when he was about to refuse, the other party said: "Fourth Young Master, you don't have to feel guilty. My master has said that every injustice has its debtor. Your brother and sister once extended a helping hand. This is just to repay the original kindness. This matter is over. , no longer relevant."

Ming Sheng looked down at his weak siblings and gritted his teeth in shame: "Thank you very much."

A family of four got on the carriage and wandered for half an hour before finally stopping.

"Sir, please get out of the car."

Ming Sheng got out of the car with his family, but saw a small courtyard in front of him.

The man opened the door, led them in, and handed them a piece of deed paper: "My owner has paid three months' rent for this yard. In addition, there is rice and noodles in the kitchen, enough for you two. It’s been months. You still have this big bunch of money, so you left that place. It’s best to go to the medical clinic. Going out of the alley is Ping’an Street. It’s not difficult to make a living.”

Ming Sheng didn't expect the other party to think so carefully, so he lowered his head and said thank you.

The other party smiled and said: "It's just that kindness is rewarded. I'll leave first."

When this person left, Ming Sheng sighed in his heart and wanted to ask his younger siblings to freshen up and settle down first. Unexpectedly, he turned around and saw Ming Xiang's face full of tears.

"Axiang, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Mingxiang wiped the tears on his face carelessly and shook his head: "It's okay. I just... didn't expect Seventh Sister..."

Although she was not present that night, she was in prison with other female members of the Ming family. The Sixth Madam went crazy and cursed day and night. She knew everything.

Ming Kun asked: "Fourth Brother, will we never see Seventh Sister again?"

Ming Sheng opened his mouth but couldn't answer.

The fourth lady whispered: "It's better if we don't see her. She is in the Ji family. Although she is not rich and powerful, she is still a lady from an official family... let's forget each other in the world like this!"

The family of four boiled water for bathing and cooking before settling down.

The next day, Mingsheng went to pick up his father.

When he arrived at the Yamen, he heard from the official that Ming Si had left and only left him a letter.

The letter paper is crumpled straw paper with traces of moisture on it, and some words were scrawled with charcoal pen.

My son Asheng, as a father, I really don’t have the face to see you, so I took the first step.

On that day in the mourning hall, you knew what a cowardly person your father was. Xiaoqi is right, I am not qualified to reunite with you and have a happy family after doing all this.

For the past thirty years, I have lived a confused life as a father. From today on, I will spend the rest of my life atonement.

You take good care of your mother, brothers and sisters, and when you earn money and food for your father, you can send it to your family.

Father word.

Ming Sheng burst into tears, but knew that this was the best outcome.

After the third aunt died, my father lived in torture of conscience every day. He could not reunite his family with peace of mind, so doing so was to atone for his sins and to find peace of mind.

As a son of man, he can only pray that his father is safe in an unknown place.

……

A few days later at night, Mingwei met Yang Shu on the roof.

"Beheading where necessary, exile where necessary, this case has been settled." Yang Shu said, "The one from the Li family was sentenced to exile, but I took care of it, and he will not live to his destination. ."

Mingwei opened his eyes and nodded to him: "Thank you."

Yang Shu dusted off his clothes and sat down on the roof: "These days, you keep saying these two words to me every time we meet. I'm tired of hearing them. Can't you use another one?"

Ming Wei smiled: "Then how do you want me to thank you?"

As soon as Yang Shu was about to say something, he touched her sparkling eyes under the moonlight, and suddenly all the words were stuck in his throat.

He moved his head a little uncomfortably and forcibly changed the subject: "The female members of the Ming family have all been taken away by their natal family, but with such status, life will be very difficult in the future. There are not many people in the fourth lady's natal family. , and now their family of four lives together."

Mingwei nodded, she already knew the news. The person he borrowed from her came to report after finishing the work.

"Mingsi didn't go back, so I asked someone to inquire about it. He went to make a living outside the city. The work he did was very hard, but he seemed to be at ease."

Yunjing is a big city, and its suburbs are more prosperous than ordinary towns, making it a good place to make a living.

He continued: "Your fourth brother found a job as a bookkeeper. It's a little hard work, but it's enough to support a family."

Mingwei sighed: "I already know all this, I don't need you to say it again."

"..."

"You came here in the middle of the night to say this?"

Yang Shu lowered his head and remained silent.

His behavior made Mingwei soften. Maybe he was in a bad mood and came to her to evacuate, right? After returning to the capital, he was in a bad mood too frequently.

"If you don't want to say anything else, then just listen to me playing the flute for a while?"

Yang Shu nodded silently.

So Mingwei took out the flute and brought it to her lips.

The sound of the flute sobs, dispersed into the night wind, and the quiet melody seems both sentimental and ruthless.

Yang Shu listened for a long time and stopped when she saw that all the people enjoying the shade had returned to their houses.

He knew it was time for him to go back, but his body told him loyally that he didn't want to go back.

After struggling for a long time, Yang Shu finally stood up: "I'm leaving. I've already figured out what you asked me to inquire about. As soon as I have specific information, I'll let you know."

Mingwei nodded: "Okay."

He hesitated for a while, and finally jumped up and disappeared into the night.

Mingwei came down from the roof and looked at the person in the shadow of the flower stand: "Have you heard enough?"

Ji Xiaowu snorted: "Can you have some self-consciousness about being a fiancée? Why do you always have private meetings in the middle of the night?"

Mingwei smiled slightly. ~IndoMTL.com~ Ji Xiaowu was dissatisfied: "What's so funny! If you do this again, I'll tell my parents to go!"

"Then why didn't you say it?"

Ji Xiaowu is stuck.

Mingwei smiled: "Fifth cousin, you are such a good person."

Ji Xiaowu's face turned red and he rolled his eyes at her: "I'm sick!"

I turned around and took two steps, then suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Mom said I will take you to the academy tomorrow, don't get up late." Then he went back in a flash.

Mingwei watched him walk away with a smile, then turned around and returned to the house.

Academy!

All girls in the capital are studying. She is only fifteen this year, and she has a filial piety. Regardless of getting married, her uncle and aunt want her to study.

That’s good, you can go out when you go to study, which gives you much more freedom. ()
