Mingjin held her forehead, and finally asked Bi Shiyi to step back with a sullen face. After putting down the curtain, she leaned against the car wall, frowning.
"It's good to be alive." Old God Mingdai said. After all, what happened last night, if the surrounding area had not been controlled by secret guards, and the news spread, it would be very disadvantageous for Yu Mingjin.
Between the reputation of the legitimate daughter of the Xie family and the life and death of Xu Qiubai, even Mingdai would have made the same choice.
She already guessed last night that her uncle would kill Xu Qiubai.
"I may not kill him in the future."
Ming Jin lowered her eyes and rubbed her fingers. Her father disliked Xu Qiubai very much. But he was not willing to kill him in front of her because what happened four years ago had completely destroyed the affection between their father and daughter.
——————
"Finally we have to go back." Shaoyao didn't feel it was hard, but looking at the two girls whose faces had lost weight, she felt that it was really not a good place to stay for a long time.
"Let's go back to Grandma Butterfly's place first. I don't know if my father has arranged it yet."
"And that..."
Mingdai was hesitant to speak, but Mingjin had already understood what she meant, "I saw you didn't mention it at all before, so I thought you didn't care."
Mingdai's eyes flashed, slightly annoyed, "If it were you, could you turn a blind eye?"
"Of course not, but what you care about is whether the third uncle and the third aunt can turn a blind eye."
Ming Jin sighed, "That Ah Qiu is kind to my third uncle."
It is unknown what happened between the two of them, but if Aqiu had not hidden the account book in time and refused to tell the whereabouts of the account book, the Blood Refining Sect would not have been hanging on Xie Li's life.
Ming Dai is sensible, so she can't worry about whether the other party has an affair with her father.
Since ancient times, the etiquette and precautions of the officials did not include allowing men to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that there were no concubines, and having a confidante was nothing.
As a child, no matter how much she loves her mother, she cannot disobey her in this regard. Even if she wants to disobey, Mrs. Lin will be the first to stop her.
This is the dilemma for women.
"If the father wants to accept her and show kindness to her, then she is also a noble concubine. In the future... my mother will be in a very difficult position."
In fact, Ming Dai's words are not necessarily true, kindness is kindness, but this woman also has a huge weakness, that is, she is innocent and humiliates her body, and she would not be able to enter an ordinary family, let alone a family like the Xie family.
But Mingdai is not willing to be mean to other women in this regard. After all, this woman is also a victim.
In this regard, the Xie family girls are of the same noble and generous nature.
Just like Ming Jin never belittled the status of Mingyue and Zhipurn as their biological mothers. When the landlady's mother was still there, he also gave generous treatment to this concubine who was born in a brothel.
Just downplaying her existence and allowing the latter to live peacefully in the big house is the safest for the latter.
Mingdai understood this truth from her mother early on, and it was only then that she learned that she did not need to be harsh to other women who were ill-fated, unless the other party went beyond their duty first.
"I can't interfere in this matter, and neither can you, but I believe that the third uncle is a gentleman, and will not betray the relationship between husband and wife, nor put the kindness and responsibility before the horse. As for you... If you and your brother are stable
You can live with it, that third aunt is the king of the Xie family."
"Not to mention me."
Ming Dai was touched by the last sentence, and for the first time she did not resist the majesty shown by Ming Jin. She nodded and said no more.
To be honest, at most it's just one more noble concubine, and there's no need to make the noble daughter-in-law of the third wife panic. She is also proud.
Grandma Butterfly's small courtyard is still the same, but Xie Li and others have been settled, and they are all on the carriage, and they just need to leave with the army.
But when the army was crossing the street, Mingdai always felt that something was strange, until she heard screams when she was leaving the city gate.
She was startled and wanted to open the curtains to take a look, but Ming Jin held her hand down.
"What's outside?"
"The reason why the army has been stationed in the city for so long is not to protect the civil servants, but to investigate and kill all those who believe in evil cults."
Ming Dai was surprised, "But most of the people in Linzhou City are from cults, and they are basically inseparable, so..."
Wouldn't that be equivalent to massacre of the city?
Ming Jin did not deny it. Even though Ming Dai had a strong and courageous temperament, she was also frightened, "This way... won't something happen?"
"If no one causes trouble..."
There were screams of killing all around, and the city was filled with blood.
I don't know whether it was Mingjin's crow's beak or the one above. Under such screams, there was a dense sound of horse hooves ahead.
"stop!!"
The Wujia army was like a black cloud, but what followed was a sea of ​​fire, as the red-shirted cavalry surrounded them outside the city.
Before the city was abandoned, the two armies faced each other with great momentum.
Mingdai couldn't help it this time, she opened the curtain and looked, "It's a red-shirted cavalry, this time it's not Zhao Jingming, it's... Marquis Mingchang?"
She saw from a distance that the opponent's leader was wearing a red-blooded military armor. He looked like a middle-aged man, very majestic and very hostile.
Zhao Jingming did not dare to personally lead the red-shirted cavalry to confront Xie Yuan, but Zhao Jingming had just tragically killed his beloved son and blamed the Xie family for the incident.
A cult? If not for the Xie family, how could his beloved son go to Wuling?
All this is because of the Xie family.
And that damn Xie Mingjin.
"The Marquis of Mingchang alone does not have such confidence. There may be other forces that prompted him to personally lead troops to intercept."
After a pause, Mingjin thought, "Not only interception, but also sanctions."
She has always made accurate predictions of political situations.
Sanctions? Isn’t that...a court order?!
Ming Dai's face changed, and she couldn't sit still, "Because the uncle led troops to Linzhou City privately? Is the court going to punish you for this?"
Before Ming Jin could answer, she made up her own conjecture, "So in the beginning, my father made a mistake, which led to your coming, and then my uncle had to bring troops to come. In the end, my father's fault required my uncle to violate the court decree...
Will you have to pay the price eventually?"
They have been taught the importance of rules since childhood, but the Xie family does not act under the political rules of Zhao State. If they are not strong enough to override the royal power, they will eventually have to pay the price for violating the rules.
Ming Dai, who had an arrogant temperament, was very frustrated and even ashamed. When she was about to speak, Ming Jin covered her mouth.
"How can you be like the bright moon? When you see it raining outside, you can't wait to cry. Your clothes are wet at home. What kind of fight is this? I scared you like this."
Ming Jin was really a bit harsh this time. Ming Dai was a little unaccustomed to it, but she was really frightened.
When she was quiet, it was not quiet outside.
The Marquis of Mingchang rode on a tall horse and faced Xie Yuan head-on. His voice was low but clear and full of energy, "Xie Yuan, Duke of Heng Kingdom, for your own selfish interests, you violated the court's decree and regarded the Wujia Army as your own, but you went to Wujun."
You privately led troops to Linzhou City under the order. The military has found out about your crime and has issued an order for me, the red-shirted cavalry, to detain you back to the city and accept sanctions from your Majesty and the military. Why don't you just surrender and be captured!"
