Although Yuecheng is small, it is complete with all kinds of organs, and is equipped with all kinds of clothes shops, wineries, teahouses, and restaurants. Especially the market around the outside of Yuecheng, where people come and go, and the traffic is crowded, it is even bustling.

Zhao Zhenglin thought that if Liu Mingxi was here, she would have been ecstatic, but she could only think about it.

Liu Mingxi’s identity is too special. If she had been wearing a hat before, she would have gone to the street with a gathering in Mingyue Pavilion last night, she would probably never have such a chance again.

Zhao Zhenglin thought of her real purpose in Yuecheng, but in fact, it was to another man. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, and suddenly he lost the leisure and elegance and wandered around again.

Yuecheng is the world of Ming family. This entire inner city is like Ming family’s private house, so in Yuecheng, there are almost no clothes outside the white robe, nor can you see shops run by merchants from other cities or other countries.

Here, all the shops belong to the Ming family, and all the shopkeepers are the Ming family without exception. But Yuecheng is in the heart of the desert after all, with a lot of short supplies. The Ming family is rich and pays great attention to life.

Therefore, caravans from other cities and even other countries like to come here to sell goods to Ming’s shops.

People outside came to Yuecheng, but they could travel all over the city with the jade plaques given by the Ming family, or stay in inns, shops, and even go to Rouge Powder Alley. But when outsiders do all this, they need a Ming family member who guides him.

That was for the people around him, and for Zhao Zhenglin, he thought there was nothing to stop him.

People only saw a tall and tall man in white robe flashing into an alley. He disappeared silently and disappeared without a trace.

If there is one place in the entire Yuecheng that is an absolute forbidden place for outsiders, it must be Qinglan Courtyard where the head of the Ming family lives.

In the study, there was a tall man standing by the window with his hands behind his back. His hair and beard were all black and his skin was slightly dark, making people unable to tell his age.

He had thick eyebrows and high noses, and his eyes were quite energetic. He was the famous head of the Ming family, Ming Huaiyang.

Next to the desk in front of him, there were a pair of trembling middle-aged men and women kneeling. It was Ming Huai’en, the second master of the Ming family, and Ming’s second wife, Lu.

Mrs. Ming 2 replied in a trembling voice: “Brother, I was not intentionally deceiving it. Last night, when I saw the woman, I was about to report it to my elder brother, but I was afraid it was the conspiracy of those people. I, a woman, didn’t understand this, so I thought to wait until the second master returned to the house to discuss and report it to my elder brother. Who knew… Who knew that this god killed him all night! I asked him to find him all night, and I found him back from Huajie at dawn. This man is greedy and lustful, whimper…”

When talking about sadness, Mrs. Ming actually cried bitterly.

She comes from the Lu family, one of the ten major families in the Western Regions. Originally, she and the second master of the Ming family were considered to be of equal status. At least in the eyes of outsiders, they are very compatible, but who knew that the second master of Ming and his brother Ming Huaiyang were different.

This guy is either on Hua Street or on the way to Hua Street all day. He doesn’t care about anything else. He is completely a mess of mud that can’t be supported on the wall. Such a bad person is her husband… She can’t finish her bitterness for three days and three nights.

Ming Huaiyang’s brows became tighter and tighter. He snorted coldly and said without hesitation: “I’m coming to you, not to listen to this kid’s trouble.”

Ming Huaiyang is not a kind person. He has been fighting outside for many years, living a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, with a sharp aura, and is powerful without anger.

He didn’t stay in Yuecheng for much time. Because of his first wife, the saint in red passed away early, and he didn’t even have a child. Despite this, his status in Ming family, Yuecheng, and even in the entire Western Regions has never been shaken, and his power is very strong!

Mrs. Ming Er was so scared that she was silent. She was stunned for a while before she remembered that the main thing she heard about was the young woman who looked like Saint Lan Xi. Then he replied, “Yes, please let me talk in detail. Last night, I was in Mingyue Pavilion…”

Ming Huaiyang listened to her quietly, he slowly stood up, looked at the rising sun outside the window, and asked in a deep voice, “Who is by her side?”

Mrs. Ming was stunned again. She was a young man with extremely handsome and noble appearance… Apart from that, she really knew nothing and had never inquired about it.

She had to say embarrassedly: “That was found by the eldest lady of the Ye family. I didn’t have the opportunity to ask about me.”

In fact, the conversation between her and Ye Lanyi was very uncomfortable, obviously to the point where they disliked each other. At that time, Mrs. Ming was so anxious that she was like an ant on a hot pan, so she didn’t have any leisure time but cared about these idle people.

If she hadn’t accidentally heard someone mention the Saint’s Palace, she wouldn’t even want to look at them. Even if she looked at them a few more times later, she wouldn’t really take those two people to heart.

What is the use of that man no matter how good he is, what is the use of looking noble? Looking at her poor look, I guess my status is far inferior to her muddy husband!

As for the young woman who came to Yuecheng with Miss Ye and looked like Saint Lan Xi, Mrs. Ming was indeed shocked at the time, but that was only at that time.

After all, there are all kinds of wonders in the world, but that man looks submissive and without the pride that a saint should have, it is difficult to enter the elegant hall. After all, it is just an embroidered pillow with its own appearance, nothing worth experiencing.

Later, she thought to come back and report to the head of the family, and hurriedly returned home. She wanted to find the head of the family, but she was a sister-in-law.After all, a woman went to Qinglan Courtyard in the middle of the night to find the head of the family who had lost her wife for many years.

Mrs. Ming was afraid of being criticized, so she waited for the second master. Ming Huaien went back to her room to go with him, but unexpectedly she couldn’t wait for anyone, so she had to ask someone to go to the rooms of several of his favorite Huajie girls.

When she finally found the person, she hurried back home with her ear, but found that they were still one step late, or perhaps more than one step – the head of the family had already asked someone to wait outside their yard.

They almost crawled to Qinglan Courtyard. Manager Mingfu and the women who had been to Mingyue Pavilion with her had just left Qinglan Courtyard. I guess they have already reported to the head of the family carefully, and she is the only one who has not reported it yet.

Mrs. Ming Er never expected that such a young woman of unknown origin would even alarm the head of the family to mobilize the troops and ask in person. What’s more, the head of the family had already understood everything that happened in Mingyue Pavilion last night. When asked her again, she was to know more details, but she couldn’t say anything.

Perhaps because of the continuous blow, Mrs. Ming Er didn’t know how she did the job yesterday.

Based on the principle of low-key, she did not personally welcome the eldest lady of the Ye family. As a result, the eldest lady had an accident outside the city, causing storms all over the city. The head of the family must have known about it.

She tried her best to arrange the welcome banquet in Mingyue Pavilion.

But in that occasion, no one seemed to pay attention to how rich the table was, how rich the fragrant tea carefully baked was, and every bowl and plate on the table was carefully selected by her. Not to mention, she also intentionally hung long hanging curtains on all the walls of Mingyue Pavilion, so cleverly isolated the peeping of outsiders.

Because she did not complete the work, no one paid attention to all her careful arrangements.

You should know that their second wife has a low status in the Ming family, especially her husband, who has never been seen by the head of the family, and it is incomparable to the third wife, fourth wife, fifth wife, and sixteen wife!

Now she finally got to fight for this job, but she did it like this!

Seeing that the head of the family’s face became darker, Mrs. Ming Er felt so sad.
