Chapter 222             

Du Shengting left Li Yumeng's ward. At the door, Zhong Ming was waiting and saluted, "Young Marshal, let me speak with you."

For convenience, they used the ward next door. The plainclothes guarded at the door were all new faces carefully selected by Zhong Ming. Even if Li Minru was here, he could not recognize those new faces.

Zhong Ming waved to a few plainclothes, and they moved aside to both sides, Du Shengting and Zhong Ming walked in.

"Is it safe here?" Du Shengting asked Zhong Ming while observing the safety of the room everywhere.

Zhong Ming said that it has been tested and it is very safe.

Du Shengting nodded slightly, took off his coat, lay on the bed, closed his eyes and said, "Madam, how is it over there? Did the third lady make things difficult for her?"

Zhong Ming frowned and sighed, "Last night, the third lady seemed to have not made things difficult for her, but it's hard to say today."

Zhong Ming told the Third Lady about the activities and plans of the third lady today, and then said, "However, today, the Third Lady will definitely learn about the accident in our mansion. She originally wanted to invite Miss Li and Miss Gu to the Marshal's Mansion to attend the luncheon lunch. As for how she would make things difficult for the wife at the luncheon, it is still unknown, but now something happened, my subordinates are worried that the Third Lady will make a fuss and impose this on the wife? After all, she personally gave the matter to the young lady."

Du Shengting raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, "Madam, don't you know what's going on here yet?"

Zhong Ming said that he only told Xia Dongnuan that he would not say anything for the time being.

Du Shengting's eyebrows were twisted tightly and said in a tired voice, "Tell her! Let her be mentally prepared."

Zhong Ming's heartbeat suddenly, "Shao Zheng, what preparation are you referring to? Miss Li?"

Du Shengting suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Zhong Ming for a few seconds before closing his eyes and said, "Just tell her the matter first. Then tell Shen Mochen to try not to let her participate in this matter, and not let her get involved in these matters. Let her go to her beauty hospital."

Zhong Ming looked at the time and said, "It's still early, so you can take a shower first, change your clothes and rest for a while!"

Du Shengting closed his eyes and said, "I promised Li Yumeng to accompany her in the ward today."

Zhong Ming sighed deeply, "You can just tell her, I guess Miss Li doesn't want to see you so embarrassed and tired."

Zhong Ming ran on both sides, settled Li Yumeng and Du Shengting and returned to Zhuyuan.

This year's Marshal's Mansion is the quietest and desolate New Year in history. The green bamboo forests on both sides of the bamboo garden gate are still filled with snow that fell a while ago, and at this time, it emits a dazzling light in the morning sun.

The gate of the bamboo garden is open, and the yard is quieter than usual. I saw a few maids and mother-in-law sitting around the stone table in the yard cutting window flowers and making handmade needles and threads. Just like usual, I looked more energetic than usual and I looked busy, but I was obviously leisurely basking in the sun to pass the time rather than work.

It is rare that these maids and mothers quietly just bow their heads and play with their work, not talking about the gossip of the East and West Courtyards. Although the atmosphere is not dull, it looks strange and abnormal in Zhong Ming's eyes.

I glanced at Dong Nuan but saw Mint taking care of the potted green ivy of Mrs. and all kinds of flowers and plants with unknown names, and they also looked listless.

After seeing Zhong Ming, a group of maids and women stood up and said, "Happy New Year, Adjutant Zhong!"

Zhong Ming nodded, "Happy New Year everyone! Here are the red envelopes and candies that Jiu Ye gave you."

Juanzi came over to receive the red envelope and a large bag of candy. After thanking Zhong Ming, she sent it to everyone one by one. However, Mint lowered her head and "seriously" to take care of her flowers. She seemed to have not heard the movement here at all.

Zhong Ming walked to Mint, and before he could speak, Mint suddenly looked up at Zhong Ming. After that, he was blessed with blessing, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Adminton Zhong, happy new year."

Adjutant Zhong nodded, "Well, I wish you a happy New Year too! Are you here, Mrs.?"

Mint closed her eyebrows and trembled her eyelashes a few times and said, "Madam, I'm out."

Mint thought to himself that Zhong Mingba probably wanted to ask her where Dong Nuan was, but he didn't ask, but she just deliberately didn't tell him.

Since they came back from the border, Mint has discovered that Zhong Ming was different when Dong Nuan was waiting for Dong Nuan. However, she has been observing Dong Nuan's actions, but she has not found out that Dong Nuan has any love for Zhong Ming and expresses language. However, every time Zhong Ming is in the bamboo garden, his eyes will fall on Dong Nuan from time to time. Several times, Mint has seen Zhong Ming talking to Dong Nuan alone.

Zhong Ming nodded, "Do you know where the lady has gone? I have something to look for her."

Mint continued to look at Zhong Ming with his eyebrows and eyes closed, and whispered, "How could I, a servant, know where the wife is going?"

Zhong Ming sighed deeply, "Then, let me wait for her! The lady is back later, tell her that I have found her and asked me to come to the court to inform me." Yu Luo, Zhong Ming looked at Mint again and said, "Please trouble Miss Mint."

Mint continues to bless your body, "No trouble, this is what I should have done."

Suddenly, Zhong Ming felt that this was not suitable. He liked Dong Nuan and there was no need to sneak in. The man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried. Even if Dong Nuan doesn’t like him now, he must pursue her openly so that this mint girl can put down her little thoughts!

Suddenly, Zhong Ming turned around and looked at Mint, "Miss Mint, please trouble you again."

This time Mint looked up at Zhong Ming. As the two looked at each other, Mint's eyes dodged away and said, "What's the matter? Adjutant Zhong will tell me!"

Zhong Ming handed a big bag to Mint, "This, I'll hand the Mint girl over to Dong Nuan."

Mint bit her lower lip, closed her eyebrows and eyes, reached out to take the bag from Zhong Ming's hand, "Okay, I will definitely hand it over to Dong Nuan."

Dong Nuan and Xiu'er accompanied Liu Ruyan to the yard of the ninth concubine. When the three of them came back, the yard was very lively. Finally, the gossip of the girls and the women was replaced by Zhong Ming and Xia Dong Nuan.

Liu Ruyan looked at Juanzi who was smiling like a flower, "What's the matter? It's so lively?"

Juanzi said that Adjutant Zhong had come, and said that his wife had come back and asked someone to come over to tell him. Juanzi said freaking out, "I'll go and notify Adjutant Zhong!" He went to the courtyard with a gust of wind.

Mint came over angrily, "Dong Nuan, Adjutant Zhong gave you the New Year gift, you can go and see it yourself!"

Dong Nuan's face turned red. Adjutant Zhong was getting more and more excessive. He actually gave her gifts in front of so many people. It's true.

Several maids and women joked about Dong Nuan and Adjutant Zhong, and said they wanted Adjutant Zhong to give them candy.

Someone looked at Mint, "Min, did Adjutant Zhong give Dong Nuan a gift?"

Mint's chin pointed to a pile of snow water that had just melted under the corridor, "No! Throw it there, go and pick it up and take a look!"

Liu Ru's smoke was furious and glared at Mint, "Min, come with me."

Dong Nuan looked at the melting snow water in the stall, a blue golden velvet bag was smeared with mud. Juanzi and several other maids saw that the situation was wrong, so they all returned to their respective positions.

Someone asked Mama Liu in a low voice and said, "Mama Liu, what's wrong with Mint? Isn't it that she had a good relationship with Dong Nuan in the past?"

Another maid who cleaned the yard muttered, "Isn't that true? I heard that when the wife and Mint were in trouble, Dong Nuan helped them. Now I just turned against each other. I really can't tell that Mint is such a person..."

Another maid said, "Isn't it just that Adjutant Zhong treats Dong Nuan well and gives Dong Nuan New Year gifts, some people are not happy!"

Madam Liu frowned, "Everyone shuts the crow's mouth. The masters in the mansion are in a bad mood these days and are gossiping. Be careful to hit the gun, and no one can save you."

Someone knows Mint’s thoughts about Zhong Ming. You can see this discerning person. Now, Zhong Ming is clearly giving Dong Nuan something, which seems to embarrass Mint, but in fact it is also good to everyone. You can’t just take care of her face and prevent others from dating normally!

Dong Nuan stood there for a while and then picked up the bag. As a result, the mint opened the knot of the bag. When Dong Nuan lifted it, the bag dispersed.

A pink embroidered brocade with cotton flag jacket and a fragrant short cloak, followed by some food, and a hairband and shawl all shook down inside the stall mud.

At this time, Zhong Ming and Juanzi rushed over from the courtyard. As soon as they entered the gate, Zhong Ming saw Dong Nuan holding a bag of fabric in her hand, staring at her eyes in shock, watching the clothes and other things being dirty on the ground.

Zhong Ming's face suddenly became dark and the bottom of the pot was gray. He didn't expect so many maids to look at him. He rushed to Dong Nuan in three steps and two steps, pulled her away, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Dong Nuan looked at Zhong Minglu’s Huotian’s eyes, blinked and looked at him without saying a word.

“Ha~”

Zhong Ming sneered, "You don't like the things I gave me, and you won't throw them on the ground and kill them?"

“Ha~”

After a moment, Dong Nuan also sneered, staring at Zhong Ming with contemptuous eyes and said word by word, "Yes, I don't like these cheap things you gave me, so I threw them away when I see them. I hope I won't send such rags to embarrass people in the future."

After Dong Nuan finished speaking, she snorted coldly, turned her head and left.

Because the distance is relatively far, the other women did not hear what they were saying in the future, but they could guess that it was not a good thing.

Seeing the two of them struck and left angrily, Adjutant Zhong might have misunderstood something, and Dong Nuan seemed not to show weakness?

Juanzi rolled her eyes, "Is this all right?"

Madam Liu was in a hurry to inquire about the Ninth Master and glared at the maids behind her, "I haven't even gone to the main courtyard to help watch the fun, why are you here?"
