Ji Man pursed his lips, and said in his heart that if you can't draw well, you can't draw well, and you rub it so that people don't see it, it's a waste of pen and ink paper. However, seeing that this master was cloudy and sunny today, and there were some signs of coming to his aunt, Ji Man still decided to touch his hair and not provoke him.

Ning Yuxuan glanced at the licorice that surrounded Ning Mingjie with girlish feelings, his mouth moved, and he didn't say anything. When the rain stopped, a few people stopped and walked around the yard to pass the time and wait for dinner.

Ning Mingjie walked from the garden to the backyard with them, reaching out to take the handkerchief out to wipe it, but he felt empty.

The handkerchief was gone. Ning Mingjie raised his eyebrows, stopped and looked back.

What's wrong?Mo Yuhou asked.

Ning Mingjie shook his head, it's just a handkerchief, and when he goes back to look for it now, he doesn't know where it went.

Turning his head and continuing to walk, Sang Yu in front of him had a big belly, turned his head sideways and whispered something to Ning Yuxuan, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he was dyed with the soft light of a mother.

For a moment, Ning Mingjie felt that it would be good if his wife was the same as Nie Sangyu in the future, he could accompany him to write poems on a rainy day, and he could turn sideways to wipe the rain on his forehead, and between his eyebrows and eyes, it would be good if he was so touching and warm.

It's a pity that such a woman is the only one in the world, and it is difficult to find a second one that is exactly the same. Ning Mingjie chuckled, he was haunted by demons, how could he yearn for something that he couldn't get. Nie Sangyu was not favored before, and he still said to himself, maybe he just sympathized with her.

And now, Nie Sangyu has a child and is also favored by Ning Yuxuan, why can't he look away?

The pace grew slower and slower, and finally stopped. Ning Mingjie pursed his lips and said: I have something missing, I still have to go back to find it, you go first.

Ji Man and Ning Yuxuan both stopped, and Licorice asked in a low voice: What is it?

Ning Mingjie waved his hand, turned around and strode back to the garden.

Ji Man didn't take it to heart, she also had to brainwash Mo Yuhou: they all said that concubines could be twins, but women's pregnancies are different, I think there should be only one child, but I have more amniotic fluid.

Mo Yuhou listened at a loss, he naturally didn't understand the affairs of these women, but he listened to the key sentences, that is, the size of the belly has little to do with the month of pregnancy, right?

Relieved, he coughed lightly. In fact, he is not so unconfident, compared to Ning Mingjie, there is no place to lose, right? Nie Sangyu has a good life, why do you want to cuckold him? It's not that tired of being alive.

So it's a little funny to be suspicious of her. Although this child came unexpectedly, since it was decided to give birth to her, there was no point in saying anything else.

Ning Yuxuan smiled, stretched out his hand to help Ji Man and said: You eat more, you look too thin, and you have to suffer a lot of sins when you have a child.

Ji Man nodded, followed him around, and walked to the main courtyard to prepare for dinner.

Ning Mingjie obviously didn't find what he was looking for, and he sat at the table, his face was not very good-looking. Several aunts came to eat together, and the concubines were still standing with cloth dishes. Wen Wan also came, and it was rare to stand beside Mo Yuhou obediently.

The old lady was happy, but Qian Lianxue next to her suddenly said: I saw that the sky was sunny today, so I went to the yard for a walk, but I didn't expect to pick up a handkerchief in the garden, I don't know which master dropped it?

Ji Man's heart jumped, and he looked at it, but what Qian Lianxue was holding in his hand looked like something in his yard, a snow-capped mountain pattern.

Mo Yuhou also glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Ning Mingjie meaninglessly.

Only then did Ji Man remember that when Ning Mingjie saved the licorice and gave him a jade pendant as a gift, he confiscated the jade pendant, but accepted such a handkerchief.

Originally, it was nothing, but it was normal to send something. But Ning Mingjie's expression is really difficult to think about.

He stood up, stretched out his hand in front of Qian Lianxue and said: There is labor, it was accidentally lost under it.

Qian Lianxue nodded, and was about to hand him the handkerchief, but Qi Siling next to him took it with a smile and said: This handkerchief is exquisite, where did the young master come from? Don't mind lending it to Siling to go back and draw a small sample and embroider it? This pattern is chic, Siling really likes it at first sight.

Ning Mingjie withdrew his hand lightly, looked at Qi Siling and said: There should be more in the courtyard of Mrs. This pattern, why do you have to take this piece in the next piece.

The old lady's expression changed slightly, and she glanced at Ji Man. Ji Man pursed his lips and said: This is the last time the young master saved the licorice, I gave the young master my watch a thank you gift.

Ordinary people give thank-you gifts, how should they give gold, silver, jewelry, and a handkerchief, which inevitably makes people think too much. Ji Man himself felt that it was easy to misunderstand, not to mention that this table was full of thoughtful people.

Qian Lianxue coughed lightly twice and said: It was Lianxue who was reckless, how did she take it out at this time.

Wen Wan is even more obedient: Mrs. is too, why don't you send something else, the slave has always thought that only lovers will use handkerchiefs.

Ji Man was dumbfounded and smiled bitterly. She shouldn't have pumped her brain in the first place, and promised to only give her a handkerchief.

Ning Mingjie's face sank ugly, and he said: I can't imagine that a handkerchief can attract everyone to say so many things, but it is Mingjie's fault, Mingjie can't eat this dinner, so he thinks about how to apologize to his wife in order to wash away the dirty water that has been splashed on her body.

He never spoke much, and he never said such sharp words in front of everyone. As soon as these words came out, even the old lady pursed her lips slightly and whispered: Mingjie.

Ning Yuxuan lowered his eyes and ate his meal, Ji Man glanced at him, but he couldn't understand what this person was thinking at all.

The licorice behind Ji Man couldn't stand for a long time, gritted his teeth, and simply knelt down in the middle of the room, and kowtowed three times: If you have anything to say, just scold the slave and maid. It is the slave and the maid who should not have a delusional heart, and the master is not at fault at all.

Licorice. Ji Man was slightly startled, looking at the stubbornness in the little girl's eyes, as if he understood something, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

It's really girly. When the hero saves the beauty, he promises it with his heart. Is she going to carry this matter, and also confess to Ning Mingjie by the way? But stupid girl, how could the people in this room let a maid carry the matter so easily.

What does licorice mean by that? The old lady asked, "What delusional do you have?"

Ning Mingjie also looked at her.

Licorice bit her lip, lowered her head and said: The last time the young master saved the slave from fire and water, the slave and the maid were grateful in their hearts, and they had thoughts that they shouldn't have, knowing that it was delusional, but they still admired the young master. So when Mrs. was giving a thank you gift, the slave begged Mrs. to give the handkerchief embroidered by the slave and maid to the young master, and the jade pendant given by the lady, but the young master confiscated it.

Old Mrs. Hou Mingjian, if the slave and maid knew that this veil would be made such a big fuss by the masters today, the slave and maid would not ask the lady to fulfill the slave and maid's selfishness no matter what.

After speaking, he kowtowed a few more times, and his body knelt with some trembling.

Her words clearly said that a few people who complained deliberately made trouble, Qian Lianxue bowed her head and said silently, looking reflective, and Wen Wan also said aggrievedly: In this way, it is a wicked person to become a slave and a maid, and you should not talk about it too much, the slave and maid should die.

Qi Siling pursed her lips and chuckled: Madame's maid is really loyal.

Ling'er. Mo Yuhou, who had been eating silently, called softly.

Qi Siling trembled, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Ji Man sighed, looked at the old lady and said: Sang Yu said a few days ago, my belly is so big, no one will let me live in peace, doesn't the old lady still let Sang Yu feel at ease? Look, can this be relieved?

Hearing this, the old lady finally withdrew her gaze at Ning Mingjie, put down her chopsticks and said: This dinner is also bad, there are many women in the courtyard, and there is really no stable life.

Mo Yuhou said lightly: Isn't it just a handkerchief? Licorice likes to give it, and it's not a big deal to embroider a hundred pieces a day and give them to Mingjie, what's there to be angry and not eat? Mother, Mingjie, the kitchen is doing a good job today, you all try it.

Ning Mingjie glanced at him, then at Ji Man, stood up and walked straight to Licorice, and helped her up first.

Licorice was flattered.

Father has been talking about it recently, let Mingjie at least take a concubine first. Ning Mingjie said lightly: It's rare that licorice is dedicated to me, and I also like embroidered handkerchiefs, so it's better to ask the old lady to be the master today and give her to me.

Everyone in the room was startled, and the old lady's eyes widened: You want licorice?

Ning Mingjie nodded: Doesn't Mrs. refuse to cut her love?

Ji Man was stunned for a moment and shook his head: If Young Master Cousin likes it, it is also a blessing for licorice. It's just that this matter is a lifelong matter for my daughter's family, so let's eat it first and then discuss it carefully.

The table was silent.

Regarding Ning Mingjie's obviously temporary decision, some people think that licorice has a good life, but some people still feel that they want to cover it up. Ning Mingjie is protecting Nie Sangyu, this is the consensus in the hearts of many people.

As for why it will be protected, it is up to people to guess.

There were few people who ate the meal, and after the meal, the old lady took Ning Mingjie and Mo Yuhou, as well as Ji Man and licorice, to the inner room to talk.

Let you set up a maid as a side room, and my uncle probably won't thank me. The old lady looked at Ning Mingjie and smiled bitterly: You have always been a considerate child, can you tell me the reason why you really want licorice?

After saying so much, the old lady and Mo Yuhou obviously didn't believe licorice's words.

Ning Mingjie sat under the old lady, pursed his lips and said: Mingjie thinks licorice is very good, and it is not a big deal to welcome her. On his father's side, Mingjie will naturally say it. If you want to ask why, it's really because she looks at me so affectionately.
