Lu Hao led Mingyu to the door, went into the house and informed the people inside before leading Mingyu in. Mingyu was increasingly confused. With Lu Hao's status, who else deserved such respect from him? It was a pity that Mingyu's understanding of this society was really limited, and she couldn't think of anything.
The naked man still looked a little pale, but he had recovered a lot of spirit. He sat at the head of the bed in his robe and watched Mingyu come in from outside. He was a little surprised, then smiled kindly and said, "Are you the second wife of the Anxi Marquis' Mansion?"
Mingyu lowered her head and replied, "My name is Xu Mingyu." She couldn't tell what was going on in her mind, she just wanted to remind this person that it was she, Xu Mingyu, who saved him, and not the second wife of the Anxi Marquis's Mansion.
The ** man laughed and looked at Mingyu, as if he found this little girl very interesting. He leaned against the head of the bed and said with a smile as if reminiscing about something: "Did you make that noodle meatball just now? It was so delicious!" What he didn't say was that it was all thanks to you for this bowl of hot noodle meatballs, otherwise he would have frozen to death or starved to death in this wilderness.
Mingyu nodded. In fact, she didn't think the noodles and meatballs were delicious at all. The ** man took off his hat, revealing the red gold crown on his head and a huge white jade ring on his thumb. His face was well-maintained, and he looked like a pampered person. The reason why he thought the bowl of cabbage meatballs was delicious must be because he had been hungry for a long time. If it was normal, this nobleman would probably not even look at this kind of thing.
"You have seen my situation now." The middle-aged man smiled. Facing his predicament, he did not feel the slightest bit of embarrassment. He was very open-minded and said seriously: "If I can escape this disaster, I will definitely repay you for the meal in the future."
Mingyu looked up at the downtrodden middle-aged man. He had to rely on her, an abandoned woman, for a meal. How could he expect to repay her in the future? However, Mingyu didn't want to disappoint this man. Even in such a situation, he could still be so open-minded and optimistic. Subconsciously, Mingyu couldn't hate this man.
"Okay!" Mingyu answered straightforwardly, and then she felt as if she was here to ask for a favor, so she smiled a little embarrassedly and tilted her head and said, "If that day really comes, you can ask the second young master of the Marquis's Mansion to divorce me. I don't want to be their daughter-in-law anymore."
The middle-aged man looked at Mingyu in surprise, and Lu Hao was equally surprised. After a long while, the middle-aged man smiled and nodded solemnly, saying, "Okay, if I can escape this disaster, I will definitely fulfill your wish."
As night fell, the rain got heavier. Lixiang brought a bunch of firewood to each room and started a fire. Mingyu sat by the fire and felt a little warmer.
Lu Hao stood under the eaves, watching the fine raindrops falling from the sky, his heart full of worries, he turned to look at Mingyu's room, on the other side of the fire, Mingyu's bright little face was illuminated by the flames and turned red. Lu Hao suddenly remembered the time when he visited the Anxi Marquis's mansion a few months ago. At that time, Xiao Qi teased him that he looked at the beautiful girl several times like a pervert. At that time, he just laughed it off as a joke, and none of the brothers took Xiao Qi's childish words seriously.
Now he was a little uncertain. In the past few months, he often thought of Mingyu. Mingyu's beautiful face would appear in front of his eyes. He couldn't help but wonder how the young lady in Anxi Marquis's Mansion who showed him the way was doing. However, the thought only flashed through his mind. He had never thought that he would have any relationship with a married woman, nor had he ever thought that he would see Mingyu again.
Living in such a place, life must be hard. Yes, the Anxi Marquis's Mansion is a big family, how could they take a young wife from a small family seriously? I heard that Master Bao in the mansion is a well-known playboy in Tianshui City.
This little girl, pretending to be quiet and well-behaved on the surface, is actually hot-tempered. Lu Hao looked at Mingyu on the other side of the fire and smiled slightly. He suddenly looked forward to the future.
The next morning, Mingyu was awakened by the chirping of birds. The golden sunlight outside the window gently shone into the house through the window lattice. The autumn rain that had fallen for two days finally stopped. After Mingyu got up, she saw Lu Hao standing under the eaves practicing boxing, and each move was full of strength.
After seeing him climb over the wall with "that friend" on his back yesterday, Mingyu no longer thought of him as a weak scholar. Hearing the noise of Mingyu and Lixiang coming out, Lu Hao was startled and immediately stopped punching. He turned around and politely nodded to Lixiang and Mingyu, then lowered his head and waited at the door of their room.
Mingyu was a little curious. Seeing Lu Hao's respectful attitude towards "that friend", she thought that he would not sleep in the same bed with his friend at night. If he slept on the floor... His physical fitness was really good!
Lixiang had gotten used to living in the same yard with two men. As usual, she cooked breakfast while Mingyu lit the fire. Perhaps because he was sick, the man in the room had not gotten up yet.
It had just rained, and there was still a hint of mist in the air. The golden sunlight shone through the hazy mist onto Mingyu's profile and her taller, slender body.
Lu Hao stood there, looking at her in a trance. It seemed that she had grown a little taller than the last time he saw her. The white floral skirt outlined the girl's graceful curves. Her long black hair was simply tied behind her head, revealing her smooth and full forehead. Under the golden sunlight, Mingyu's beautiful profile was quiet and beautiful.
If he had such a lovely and intelligent little wife, how could he bear to exile her to such a place? Thinking of the dandy Bao Erye, Lu Hao hated him for no reason.
A low cough was heard in the room. Lu Hao came back to his senses and immediately entered the room. The middle-aged man leaning against the bed smiled and said, "What are you looking at so intently, Lu Qing?"
Lu Hao's face flushed slightly, and he did not answer him. He helped the middle-aged man get up and go out. The middle-aged man stood where Lu Hao had just stood. He looked over and happened to see Mingyu. He couldn't help but smile knowingly, and then glanced at Lu Hao who was lowering his head with a flushed face.
After breakfast, Lu Hao first climbed up the wall to look around, and when he saw that no one was passing by, he carried the middle-aged man on his back and climbed over the wall again. Mingyu's face was full of black lines as she watched Lu Hao climb over the wall skillfully. In fact, if he didn't become an official, he could still make some achievements as a thief.
After Lu Hao and the other man left, everything returned to normal. If it weren't for the extinguished fire in the room, the messy bed, and the rapidly deflated flour bag, Mingyu would have almost suspected that no one had been there in the past two days and that everything was just an illusion.
On the contrary, Lixiang was greatly relieved. She no longer had to worry about Mrs. Hu discovering that there were two more men in the backyard. Otherwise, she and the Second Mistress would never be able to clear themselves of the guilt. Lixiang could almost imagine how wonderful the expression on Miao's face would be if she found out that both daughters-in-law were having affairs.
While feeling thankful, Li Xiang still had some expectations, and couldn't help asking Ming Yu, "Second Madam, you said those two people are both high-ranking officials, will they help us?"
Mingyu shook her head. "Who knows? They can't even protect themselves now, and they're so secretive that they refuse to tell us who that person is. Forget it. If it doesn't work out, I'll just consider it as a living Lei Feng." Mingyu couldn't help but sigh as she thought about the uncertain future.
"Who is Lei Feng?" Lixiang was puzzled.
Mingyu explained very seriously: "He is a soldier with excellent moral character. He would write down the good deeds he did in his diary, such as holding an umbrella for a woman with a child on a rainy day, helping an old lady cross the road..."
Li Xiang was shocked when she heard this, "He... He is a man, how can he hold an umbrella for a woman?! If this gets out, that woman will be dead!"
“Uh… this…” Mingyu was at a loss for words. The two people looked at the problem from completely different perspectives. The conceptual gap formed over thousands of years could not be bridged overnight.
Two days passed uneventfully. Mingyu was a little anxious. There was not much food left in the flour bag, but the Marquis' Mansion had not sent anyone to pick her up. Mrs. Hu, who had not received the reward, was also indifferent. If Mrs. Hu's attitude was a little tentative a few days ago, now she was completely unscrupulous. If the Marquis' Mansion really cared about this second wife, why didn't anyone come to ask about her for five days
At night, Lixiang spread the quilt and called Mingyu to come in to sleep. Mingyu stood under the eaves wearing a thick robe. The night was so dark that not even a star could be seen. There was a dull feeling in the air. For some reason, Mingyu felt uneasy in her heart, as if something was going to happen.
In the middle of the night, Mingyu suddenly woke up, broke out in a cold sweat, and sat up in panic. Lixiang was woken up and asked vaguely: "Second Madam, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Do you want some water?"
It was dark outside the window and eerily quiet. Mingyu held his breath and listened carefully. In the dull air there seemed to be bursts of heavy banging sounds, as if they came from far away, hitting people's hearts and making them tremble with fear.
"Didn't you hear anything? A rumbling sound." Mingyu suppressed the fear in his heart and asked.
Li Xiang sat up in confusion, listened carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "There is no sound, maybe there was thunder in the distance just now."
Mingyu shook her head. It was late autumn, so there was no chance of thunder. However, she didn't want to make Lixiang worry, so she said, "It's okay. I must have fallen asleep. Go to sleep."
As soon as the two of them lay down, they heard a noisy sound in the front yard, footsteps and screams all at once, and then the gate of the backyard was knocked, and Baihao's voice came over, shouting in panic: "Second Madam! Second Madam! Get up quickly, the Tartars are coming in!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
