The exquisite space of the ruffian concubine

Chapter 70

"It's just a rogue, I thought you didn't like it." Duan Yiming said innocently.

"What ruffians, who are the ruffians?" Duan Tai was a little confused, his brows frowned, and there were three long horizontal lines between his shiny forehead.

"Who else? Of course it's the 'Ms. Meng' you mentioned that I can't get enough of." Duan Yiming snorted contemptuously.

He has always wondered why his father repeatedly emphasized how unprovoked Meng Xiaosuo was, what could a little rogue do?Could it be that he, the son of the magistrate, is not worthy of her?

"You said that Meng Xiaoshu is a rogue? This kind of thing is not a joke!" Duan Tai's expression changed suddenly.

In public, he called Meng Xiaosuo "Ms. Meng", but in public, he called her by her first name directly.Although he repeatedly said in front of his son that Meng Xiaoshu must not be offended, he never looked down on her from the bottom of his heart.

It's just a Jianghu girl, she looks juicy, knows a few martial arts, speaks and does things carelessly, and is different from ordinary women, so she was able to fascinate Jiu Gongzi.In the final analysis, this kind of obsession is only temporary. After more time, once the novelty wears off, it will be forgotten, tears will be hard to hold, hatred will be long, how much worry?
"Why should I be joking?" Duan Yiming suddenly became a little puzzled - did his father really not know about Meng Xiaocom's identity, or did he pretend to be ignorant?

In fact, Duan Tai really didn't know.Although Meng Xiaosuo's portrait had already been sent from the capital, he usually has a beautiful wife in his left hand and a beautiful concubine in his right hand, and from time to time he would go out to flirt with flowers and tease grass, so how could he have the time to look through the thick portraits?
Seeing that his father was still dubious, Duan Yiming went on to say: "That day I saw her portrait in the yamen. She was clearly wanted by the court, but you regarded it as a treasure. Father, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have been almost killed. You lied to me, so could it be that she is really the daughter you secretly raised outside?"

Duan Tai's eyes trembled, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "When have you been to the Yamen?"

"I...I..." Duan Yiming realized that he had slipped his mouth, and stammered for a long time, not knowing how to start.

Duan Tai has always said that the yamen is a place where official business is handled, and one cannot enter or leave at will.Duan Yiming has only been there two or three times since he was a child, and he was reprimanded every time.

When he was a child, he really thought that his father was a strict and impartial person. When he grew up, he became suspicious of this matter. There are only a few dozen households in Mengshan, and the drum in front of the yamen has not sounded for more than half a year. , Where do so many official duties need to be dealt with?As for why you can't come in and out at will, maybe it's because you hide your charm inside, otherwise why would you be so vigilant?

"Tell me, why did you go, why did you go without telling me?" Duan Tai asked sharply.

Duan Yiming's mouth was frivolous, but he was still a little afraid of this father in his heart. He knew that he was a bit untouchable, and even more knowing about Meng Xiaosuo, his decision was not as simple as he thought. How Zhao Lingling urged herself to turn over the portrait, how she knocked over the oil lamp and tea, and made the portrait blurry.

When Duan Tai heard this, he couldn't help snorting: "The daughter of the Zhao family is so scheming, she is much better than you, a useless idiot!"

Don't call Duan Yiming an idiot, he didn't get angry at all, not because he suddenly changed his temper, but because he inadvertently understood a truth that he hadn't figured out all along: "Father, the reason why you give way to that Meng Xiaosuo everywhere is because Is it because someone backed her up?"

Her identity was just a rogue, but her father didn't dare to offend her in the slightest. After careful consideration, there was only one possibility - she had a backer.

"That's right." Duan Tai nodded, "It's rare for you to think of this."

"Who is her backer?" Duan Yiming asked curiously.

Duan Tai waved his hand: "You don't need to know about this."

One more person who knows about the matter of the Ninth Young Master will be more troublesome. Although Duan Yiming is his son, he is still a little worried.Who calls this bastard, who is ignorant and idle on weekdays?If I accidentally let someone know who shouldn't know, even if I can save my life, I won't be able to keep my official position.

Who knows if the seventh son has put eyeliner nearby?

Who knows if the ninth son will be furious when he finds out that the news has been leaked?
These two people can't afford to provoke them, so it's better not to provoke them.

But Duan Yiming obviously didn't understand these principles, like a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, he said to himself: "Since you don't tell me, then I have to figure it out myself."

"Baby bastard, please calm me down!" Duan Tai finally became angry.This matter, he said it was not true, and it was not true if he did not say it. If his son was still three or five years old and disobedient, he only needed to threaten him a little, and it would be effective.But now Duan Yiming is in his early twenties, no matter whether he sings the red face or the bad face, coerces or lures, or uses hard and soft tactics, the result is often with little effect.

Sure enough, Duan Yiming didn't take his anger seriously at all, and walked outside.

"Where are you going?" Duan Tai asked angrily.

"Go to Zuixiang Tower and have a good time." Duan Yiming said casually.In fact, he was going to the Zhao family.When encountering this kind of situation, Zhao Lingling should have the most solutions. Didn't she come up with the idea of ​​going to the yamen to find a portrait last time?
As soon as he walked out the door, a figure seemed to flash past in front of him.

"Who?" He asked loudly, startled.

Look around, but it is empty, how can there be any figure?
In Linglong Space, Meng Xiaosuo frowned and stared at the water wall with an ice-like expression.If she hadn't temporarily remembered that the bottle of elixir that Old Man Mu made was in Duan Tai's room and forgot to take it, she might not have gone back to Duan's mansion on her way, let alone overheard the conversation between Duan Tai and Duan Yiming inadvertently.

Just now, while listening and thinking, Duan Yiming finally came back to his senses the moment Duan Yiming pushed the door out. Fortunately, he squeezed the Linglong pendant on his chest in time and came to the Linglong space.

Thinking of this, a thin layer of cold sweat could not help but seep out of Meng Xiaocom's palms - it would be fine if he was discovered, but if Duan Yiming happened to see himself disappear out of thin air, the consequences would be disastrous.

After all, this incident was caused by Zhao Lingling alone. If she hadn't been so determined to investigate her identity with Duan Yiming, how could there have been that scene just now?
If the guess is correct, the portrait should be from the capital, and every county government office has one, as long as Duan Tai sends someone to ask other government offices, the matter will come to light.

After the family was ruined and the family was destroyed, it was not easy to come to the foot of Mengshan, and it was only a few months of peace. Could it be that troubles are going to happen again?
Right now, the best way is to leave here, but the business of Qiaoying Restaurant has just improved, and the marriage of Uncle Huang and Sister Zhang is coming soon, how can Meng Xiaosuo be willing to leave?
