Because of the presence of outsiders, Zhong Li did not deliberately stab her in the sore foot today. Hearing this, she nodded slightly, and Li Xiaoqian hurriedly called the maid and asked the maid to take her there.

At this time, An Fu hurried to the pavilion and told the Zheng family that Li Mingran was taken away by Jin Yiwei.

Hearing the words, Zheng Shi stood up suddenly, "What? It's good, how could Jin Yiwei take him away? Are you all stupid? Don't know how to protect your young master?"

An Fu said with a bitter face: "They said they asked the young master to assist in handling the case, but the young master refused, so he let them go. The young master is not allowed to disturb you a little. After thinking about it, he still thinks it is right to tell you."

In fact, although the two Jinyiwei looked polite, their attitude was very tough. An Fu always felt that they were not good people.

Zheng Shi couldn't help frowning, "He is a scholar, what kind of case can he help with? You go to the guardhouse and tell the Hou Ye."

The more Zheng Shi thought about it, the more anxious she became, but it was not good for her to ask for someone directly as a woman. Everyone in the capital knew that Jin Yiwei was the most difficult to provoke. It would be bad if she was charged with obstructing the handling of the case.

The second wife was also a little surprised. She didn't understand why Jin Yiwei suddenly took Li Mingran away. Seeing Mrs Zheng's urgency, she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll also send a maid to ask what's going on. The third master is commanded by Jin Yiwei. So, with him around, his subordinates will definitely not dare to mess around."

Only then did Mrs. Zheng remember that she was Pei Xing's sister-in-law anyway, and she didn't care about her relatives. As long as she was willing to come forward, how could Pei Xing give two points.

Zheng Shi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, grabbed the second wife's hand gratefully, and thanked her again and again.

In fact, the second wife was very unremarkable, and she didn't know whether Pei Xing would give her this face, but since she was there, she would definitely help with this, so she hurriedly gave the maid a wink and told her to go.

Zheng Feiling also persuaded her aunt.

My cousin is just a weak scholar. He usually studies in Guozijian, so he will return to the house when he is off. Zheng Feiling vaguely guessed that Pei Xing was abusing his power.

What she disliked the most was this kind of man. After learning about this, the strange emotion she had inexplicably raised towards Pei Xing disappeared completely, and she even felt a little sympathetic to Zhong Li. Being stared at by such a terrifying man, don't know if it was her luck or misfortune.

On the other side, Li Mingqian waited left and right, but failed to wait for her brother. She thought that he had flinched when he approached her, and couldn't help scolding him in her heart.

She didn't care about him anymore, and concentrated on accompany Zhong Li to enjoy the peony. She was lively and a little girl who loved to laugh. When she laughed, there was a small pear vortex on her right cheek, which was very pleasing.

Zhong Li likes her quite a bit, and the two get along very harmoniously.

When he was in the Marquis of Zhenbei, Zhong Li was rarely so relaxed. After all, Gu Zhiya is thoughtful, scheming, and always aloof. Although Gu Zhiqing is kind, she harbors mischief. When she gets along with them, Zhong Li naturally needs to be very energetic.

Gu Zhiya wasn't there at the moment, and the two of them chatted a lot without knowing it. Li Mingqian also made an invitation with a smile, "During the Dragon Boat Festival, shall we go to the dragon boat race together? Then you can call my cousin, she has a good temperament. It's very easy to get along with, I remember that she appreciates you quite a bit, and chatted with you for a long time on the festival day."

There is still some time before the Dragon Boat Festival, she should be fine, Zhong Li replied with a smile, "Okay."

She doesn't have any friends. Li Mingqian and Zheng Feiling are both very well-bred, and they are not the kind of people who can stab in the back. Zhong Li is also very happy to associate with them.

There's no harm in having multiple friends after all.

When Gu Zhiya returned, the two of them chatted about peony again. Seeing that there were no young men coming, she couldn't help pursing her lips.

Because of Li Mingran being invited away by Jin Yiwei, Mrs. Zheng lost the time to entertain the distinguished guests. Several ladies heard An Fu's words. farewell.

When Li Mingqian brought Gu Zhiya and Zhong Li back to the pavilion, all the guests in the garden had basically left.

Li Mingqian faintly sensed something was wrong. Seeing her mother's pale face, she walked quickly to the pavilion, only to find out that her brother had been invited away by Jin Yiwei.

Her little face was also a little pale, and Zheng Feiling quickly pulled her to her side, "Don't be afraid, cousin Jiren has a natural look, so he will be fine."

Fortunately, the maid next to the second wife came back soon, she said: "The slave has already seen Lord Qin. After Lord Qin learned about this, he was asked what was going on. It turned out that when the young master returned to the mansion yesterday, he had I bumped into a robber from Jiang Yang. Now Jin Yiwei is catching this person, and they are indeed asking the young master for help, saying that when the young master finishes painting the portrait of that person, he will be able to return to the mansion, and the lady does not need to worry."

Zheng Shi was relieved.

The second wife also smiled and said, "Now you can rest assured."

Zheng Feiling didn't believe a word, she couldn't help but glance at Zhong Li, who looked as usual and didn't think much about it at all.

The second wife sat for a while, and seeing that Li Mingran still hadn't returned to the house, she glanced at the sun and bid her farewell at the right time.

Zheng wanted to keep them in the mansion for lunch, but the second wife refused. She smiled and said, "Don't bother. Anyway, the two mansions are very close, so you can come and enjoy the flowers at any time in the future."

Zheng shi personally sent them out of the house.

Li Mingran was sitting in front of the book desk with a bewildered face. When he returned to the mansion yesterday, he came back on foot. He met many people on the way, and the ghost knows which one is the Jiang Yang robber.

For a while, he couldn't recall the faces of those people at all, and he didn't know how to paint. When he thought of Zhongli, he couldn't help sighing, and he didn't know why he was so unlucky.

The Marquis of Wu'an was training troops before, and it was an hour after he learned of this. When he came over, Li Mingran had already been released.

As soon as Li Mingran returned to the mansion, he was invited to the backyard by the Zheng family, with Zheng Feiling and Li Mingqian by her side. Li Minran glanced at it, and found that the people who admired the flowers had indeed left, and their expressions were visibly wilted.
