Ran Xun asked back, "The one just now was the Prince of Qi, you have a very good relationship with him."
Ming Teng thought to himself that it seemed that Ran Xun had gotten into quite a bit of trouble. "Well, the prince and I have always been following the King of Qin, and we do have a good relationship."
Ran Xun patted Ming Teng on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I'm here to join you."
Ming Teng pulled the corner of his mouth, "You should first tell me why you returned to Beijing."
Ran Xun touched his nose and said, "Well, am I not at my grandparents' house?"
Ming Teng knew that Ran Xun had been staying at his grandparents' home for the past two years.
Ran Xun was embarrassed, "I took in a maid as my concubine."
Ming Teng was not surprised. Ran Xun was a man who loved beauties. He had been thinking about Miu Miu at the beginning. Tsk, it's hard to change one's nature. "So something happened?"
"Well, I'm going to be a father, and my grandmother wanted to beat the girl to death. I couldn't bear it, so I took her back to Beijing."
Ming Teng, "... ... I calculated that you will break your leg tomorrow. Really, you have to believe me."
The Ran family has a very strict family tradition. Having a child out of wedlock, and a bastard child at that, is something that no decent family would do. Moreover, Ran Xun is engaged. What will his future Yue family think
Ran Xun shook his legs, "So I want to stay in an inn first?"
"Heh, you're staying at the inn with a pregnant concubine. Do you think breaking a leg is not enough? Do you want to be crippled?"
Ran Xun, "... ...will you take me back?"
Ming Teng stroked his chin and looked at Ran Xun carefully, "I am actually friends with you, and I haven't been led astray. It turns out that I have excellent character."
Ran Xun was furious, still bragging at this time.
In the end, Ming Teng naturally did not accompany them back. What was the point of him accompanying them back? He went home and told his grandmother about Ran Xun, and asked his wife and sister-in-law to tell them.
Mingteng went to play chess with his great-grandfather.
Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to come home, "Ran Xun's temper can't be changed."
"Some people's temperament is innate."
Zhu Lan chuckled, "It's still too light a beating."
Zhou Shuren, "Yes, the beating was too light."
The next day, Ran Wan took Zhixuan back to her parents' home early in the morning.
The Qi family comes from a great aristocratic family. Although the Qi family has declined now, the essence of the family is still there.
When Ran Wan came in, she saw her grandmother pressing her head in anger, "Grandma."
When Qi saw her granddaughter, she asked, "Did you come back for Ran Xun?"
Ran Wan shook her head, "Grandma didn't sleep all night last night?"
Qi's head ached when she thought of Ran Xun, "Don't mention it. Your grandfather didn't sleep all night. Why did you bring the child back?"
Ran Wan sent her son to her grandmother's arms and said, "I want to make you happy."
Qi held the baby carefully. This was the Zhou family's darling. The little guy was not afraid of people at all and grinned. Qi was indeed in a much better mood.
Ran Wan sat down without mentioning Ran Xun. She could imagine how miserable Ran Xun would be. "Is that maid really pregnant?"
This concubine is also stupid. A smart one wouldn't get pregnant secretly.
Qi was furious when she thought about it. "She is indeed pregnant, and she is already quite pregnant. This is a sin."
It was not convenient for Ran Wan, a married woman, to participate, so she could only try her best to comfort her grandmother. She grew up with her grandmother, and she felt even more sorry for her grandmother. As for Ran Xun, he had to bear the consequences of his own actions.
Two days later, Ming Teng went to see Ran Xun. Ran Xun was lying on the bed, "You just came to see me."
Ming Teng rolled his eyes, "I wasn't planning on coming to see you today, so don't expect me to help you."
Ran Xun turned off the fire, "My grandmother has sent people to the Liu family. We need to give the Liu family an explanation for this matter."
Ming Teng listened to what Ran Xun said. He didn't interrupt, and Ran Xun didn't want to continue. "You really have changed a lot."
Ming Teng sat back in his chair, "If I hadn't changed, I would have been schemed against and had nothing left."
Ran Xun then observed Ming Teng carefully. The honest and honest Zhou Mingteng in his impression had disappeared. Now it was Rong Mingteng, the future Marquis Rong. He also found that the gap between him and Ming Teng was getting wider and wider. If he could not keep up with Ming Teng's pace, his childhood friend would sooner or later become a thing of the past.
Ming Teng was very busy. After accompanying Ran Xun for a while, he had to go on an errand. He was not doing it for himself, but for the Rong family. "I have something else to do. It's time for you to grow up."
Ran Xun opened his mouth, and only came back to his senses after Ming Teng left and his grandfather came in.
Ran Zheng saw his grandson was distracted, "Ming Teng was here?"
"Um."
"Do you know what Ming Teng has done during the years you were away from the capital?"
Ran Xun shook his head, "I don't know."
Ran Zheng was very willing to tell his grandson that Ming Teng used to work for the King of Qin and was now able to work independently. Not to mention how much he had paid, it was amazing that Ming Teng could gain a foothold in the capital.
Ran Zheng sighed inwardly, his grandson and Ming Teng grew up together and they had the best relationship, but his grandson still hadn't made much progress.
Ran Xun lowered his head, and Ran Zheng continued: "When you pass the exam, you can go out."
In the prince's team, Mingrui covered his face with a fan, and Shangguan Liu looked ahead. "It's getting hotter and hotter. Isn't it good to rest in the inn on such a hot day?"
Shangguan Liu is so annoyed with Wen Xu. If it weren't for Wen Xu, the prince wouldn't want to go out today.
Mingrui also felt hot. "The clothes we brought are still too thick. Let's go to the clothing store to choose some clothes later."
After hearing this, Shangguan Liu couldn't help but feel jealous of Mingrui. The Shangguan family had a fixed amount of monthly allowance, and they strictly controlled the money in their hands. When he traveled with the prince, his pockets became fatter, but that was also limited, and he had to report it when he got home!
But Zhou Mingrui is a man with money, so he can only think about it and feel envious.
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and the guards separated the crowd. Mingrui only heard one voice, "Prince, be careful."
Then the commotion quieted down, the prince's face darkened, and Wen Xu still stood in front of the prince.
Mingrui covered his face with the fan again. Wenxu was really good.
Shangguan Liu was speechless. Didn't this expose the prince's whereabouts
The prince took a deep breath. No one dared to impersonate the prince as it was a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family. The people on the street knelt down after they came to their senses.
The King of Qi thought that if Wen Xu was sent back to the capital, the Wen family would lose all face.
When the prefect arrived, the prince and his entourage went to the government office. In fact, the rioter was not an assassin, but a juggling boy who did not hold his sword firmly and threw it out when he was using the sword.
And the direction is not towards the prince!
The owner of the circus was so frightened that the child fainted on the spot.
After the prefect knew what happened, he looked at Master Wen with an indescribable look on his face. If this man wasn't the prince's cousin, the prince would have really sent the man back to the capital.
After the prince's whereabouts were exposed, the emperor found out within a few days. Now the princes of various tribes have left the capital, and the emperor is very angry.
The emperor did not give face to the Wen family this time. He was afraid that a fool would implicate his son, so he directly sent someone to bring Wen Xu back to Beijing.
When the Queen heard about this, she immediately got pregnant. A few days ago, the Emperor said that his son was smart and good at hiding his whereabouts. Zhou Mingrui and Shangguan Liu hid their son very well, but what was the result!
No matter how worried the queen was about the prince, as the weather was getting hotter, Yu Lu's due date was approaching, and Li would have to go to the Wang family in a few days.
On this day, Li was supposed to come back but did not come back on time. Zhulan was concerned and asked Qingxue to go there in person. She felt that Yu Lu was about to give birth.
