Li Mao only felt that some of his eldest lady's speculations in recent days, big or small, were not so rigorous and credible, but in the end, they often proved to be true.

Tang Mingyi is the same in this matter, although he feels that the eldest lady will not be wrong, but after all, there is no real basis, and Li Mao can't fully believe it.

Moreover, for the time being, he couldn't figure out the reasons why Tang Mingyi concealed his identity and hid his home, but these were the reasons why he should have investigated, not to ask the eldest lady again, so he didn't go into detail about this matter.

However, Wen Gu gave a negative answer to his question: "I'm afraid that our Mr. Tang is also guessing like this, and I always feel that it shouldn't be." Go and look it up, even some clues are better than our unwarranted speculation here. ”

Li Mao couldn't tell what kind of standard his eldest lady judged "groundless speculation", which was always different from his own, but the truth was so, so he should claim "yes".

This is almost the case, and the guards outside came through the door to ask if they could come in and reply, and after getting a positive answer, they came in and said, "Miss, Mr. Zheng is back." ”

"It's almost time to calculate, Zheng Tong will not keep him to eat, even if he wants to stay, I'm afraid our Zheng Gongzi won't be able to eat." Wen Gu smiled, and then asked, "But he came back by himself?" ”

The guard replied: "No, Mr. Zheng rented a carriage and came back with people." ”

Li Mao also took advantage of the situation and said: "The eldest lady is accurate, Mr. Zheng really brought Tian Niangzi back." ”

Wen Gu glanced at him and said, "Don't feel pity or anything in your heart, if he comes back like this, maybe it will be better for you." ”

Li Mao didn't argue, just smiled and bowed his head and said yes.

"Have the people brought back by Mr. Zheng settled?" Ask again.

When the guard heard this, his face was a little embarrassed: "The person was brought back, but ...... It seems that there are other things, so I just sit down in the side hall of the outer courtyard for the time being, accompanied by the safe servants in the house. ”

Seeing the appearance of the guard, his heart was originally tight, but when he thought about it, he relaxed again, if it was really something important, it shouldn't be such a reciprocal attitude: "Zheng Gongzi is coming to see me?" ”

"Exactly." The guard replied, "I'm waiting outside now, waiting for the eldest lady to summon me." ”

Wen Gu then ordered: "Call him to come, he is from Tongcheng, and he may not know which tree in the city can bear half-moon mulberries early, let him come and see Li Mao's ability." ”

The guards went to get the order, Li Mao took the opportunity to hurry up and be modest, and said two more jokes, such as: Please don't tell Yu Hou that the eldest lady must not tell Yu Hou that he took some loquat in the Yang Mansion before, and almost didn't let Yu Hou punish him, but fortunately, he had a few words with Zhou Dutong, so he could be regarded as making up for his mistakes and the like.

After a few casual words here, Zheng Pengren arrived, handed over the plate, and wanted to say: "Mr. Zheng came just in time, come and taste something fresh." ”

But before the words could be spoken, Zheng Peng walked closer, and with a "poof", he knelt in front of Wen Gu.

Wen didn't expect him to appear like this, holding the plate in his hand and freezing in the air, and looking at his face seemed to be a little unusual, he said to Li Mao after a while: "Mr. Zheng didn't stand firm, help me." ”

After speaking, he quickly waved his hand to let the guards retreat.

But Li Mao was about to help, but Zheng Peng raised his head and said seriously: "Miss." ”

Only then did he see clearly that the left side of his face was slightly red and swollen, and there were a few red marks on it, obviously he had received a heavy slap, so it was not good to ask this first, so he said, "What does Mr. Zheng mean by this?" ”

"Zheng Peng Xie eldest lady saved my mother and son. From today onwards, Zheng Peng will serve the eldest lady in front of the saddle, and the horse will drive forward, without complaints, let alone dissent. ”

When Wen heard this, there was no joy on his face, and he still said to Li Mao, "Help him up".

Li Mao wanted to move again, but Zheng Peng still did not move, and argued for two sentences, "The eldest lady thinks that my skills are low, I can learn anything" and so on.

Wen had no choice but to sigh and let Li Mao explain it to him.

"Mr. Zheng, this matter was originally because you helped us once, and the eldest lady gave you a favor, even if the matter is worse, you and Lingtang will not have any life in danger, it is just a change to a more comfortable place to live." Li Mao held Zheng Wei's arm, and continued, "In this way, you will kneel easily, if someone next to you gives you some greater benefits than now, will you remember his favor more and make a more ruthless oath?" ”

Li Mao didn't say it tactfully, Zheng Peng only felt that he wouldn't be able to hear it, so he retorted: "Master Li doesn't know about this matter for us...... How important it is to me. I'm definitely not going to ......."

Before Zheng Peng finished speaking, Li Mao stopped: "Mr. Zheng has not suffered a major event of life and death, and it is difficult to reach a conclusion now." ”

Seeing that Li Mao didn't believe him, and the eldest lady didn't stop him, Zheng Peng had no choice but to say: "Even if it is as Master Li said, if someone else is kind to me in the future, I will never live up to the kindness of the eldest lady today." ”

Li Mao asked, "What if that person has a grudge against the eldest lady?" Or what he wants to do is contrary to the eldest lady's plan? ”

Zheng Peng thought about it carefully, and then said: "Then I can't die, so naturally the two will not lose each other." ”

Li Mao also sighed: "Even if the eldest lady is your own person, she will never dare to explain important matters to you." ”

"Why?" Zheng Peng finally looked at Li Mao, his face puzzled.

Li Mao said solemnly: "Since it is an important matter, it must involve the lives of many people, if someone is gracious to you in the process, you are in a dilemma, and you simply die, it seems that all the kindness on both sides, but in fact, this matter is wasted, we don't know how many people will die because of this, then, who do you let us find?" With such worries, how dare you leave things to you? ”

When Zheng Peng heard this, he didn't know how to show his sincerity for a while, he was anxious and angry, and simply asked: "But I really just want to drive the eldest lady, how can I believe me?" ”

"It's not that I don't believe you." Wen finally spoke, "You weren't originally from my family, and now you can't talk about some long-lasting friendship, I think you can help me, and I know that you are willing to help me, but these are by no means momentary emotions for you, you don't know what I'm going to do, why did you sell your life to me?" ”

Zheng Peng argued again: "But no matter what......"

Wen Jiu simply stopped: "Since Mr. Zheng has settled in my mansion, he will come to Japan for a long time, and he is not in a hurry at this time." ”

Zheng Peng had no choice but to give up, and didn't talk about the topic of Fang Cai anymore, but said: "I don't just mean this, there is also something to ask the eldest lady for guilt." ”
