Chapter 116
"Where is your prince?"
With anger in her heart, Mingxiu didn't mean to be polite at all.
The housekeeper didn't know who made Mingxiu so angry, so he could only be careful and said, "The prince is in the study room discussing matters with the Taichang Temple Minister. He has sent someone to invite him. Miss Ming, please wait a moment."
Just stay at the palace.
Mingxiu nodded slightly and said no more.
Her face was heavy, and even though she didn't speak, the housekeeper still felt a little trembling.
Strange to say, as the steward of the Prince Regent's Palace, he could be said to have seen all the concubines and queens in the palace, but there was no one he treated with the same care as he did Mingxiu.
Maybe it was because Mingxiu was the only woman Xie Zhan had expressed intimacy with in so many years, and he was afraid that he would not take good care of her. Mingxiu got angry and threw Xie Zhan into the cold palace.
It was the first time that young Mu Ai fell in love with someone. If Mingxiu rejected Xie Zhan because of people like them, the housekeeper would definitely not be able to please him.
Although the housekeeper was already very careful about Mingxiu, he still underestimated his preference for team Mingxiu.
Originally, he thought that Mingxiu would have to wait an hour or two before he could see anyone. After all, Xie Zhan had to finish the things at hand before he could come to see Mingxiu, right?
But who knows, when Xie Zhan heard that Mingxiu had come to his door, he asked Taichang Temple Minister to go back and wait without saying a word. If there was a big thing, he would have to wait until he met Mingxiu before talking about it.
Although Mingxiu's appearance is not exactly a beauty, in the housekeeper's mind, she has been branded a troublemaker.
"Why did you come here today?"
Xie Zhan personally came forward to serve Mingxiu tea, and by the way, someone made Mingxiu's favorite fruit.
"Don't bother." She glanced at the servants around her, and the hint was self-evident.
The butler immediately directed his servants to leave.
At this time, Xie Zhan finally came out of his joy. He noticed that Mingxiu's expression was not good, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
"What's going on? Who messed with you?"
As far as he knew these days, the only person who could make Mingxiu unhappy was Shu Wenqi, right?
It doesn't seem like she would take a little girl like Shu Wenqi seriously.
Could it be that the daughter’s family is being petty again?
Xie Zhan thought he knew what Mingxiu was thinking, so he approached her with a playful smile and tried to coax her.
However, Ming Xiu reached out and slapped him away.
"I found my mother."
This short sentence made Xie Zhan become serious instantly.
If he just found someone, Mingxiu would not be so serious, but would be happy to share it with him.
Looking like this now, something must have happened.
"Is someone causing trouble for your parents?"
Mingxiu shook his head and repeated Ming's mother's words and his conjecture.
"..." Xie Zhan was a little dumbfounded.
I have to admit that the fact is very likely to be the same as Mingxiu's conjecture.
"Did your mother tell you which village she and your father are trapped in now?"
The villas around the capital are generally the territory of wealthy families. Even if Xie Zhan couldn't remember whose family they belonged to, he would know it after searching.
As long as you know your goal, finding someone will be easy.
Mingxiu nodded and described the surrounding topography.
"It's their home..." Xie Zhan nodded thoughtfully, "You go back first and leave this matter to me. I will definitely take your parents out within three days."
"Three days?" Mingxiu was dissatisfied, "Do you know how my parents lived there?"
She can't wait any longer!
After all, having been together for more than two years, Xie Zhan knew how good the relationship between Ming's family was, and he didn't want to see Ming's father and mother suffer, but some things just couldn't get better.
"I know Aunt Mingshu Ming must have been wronged, but I have to make arrangements to rescue the two elders in the safest way! You don't want to offend the other party and put your parents in a more dangerous situation.
Go?"
Mingxiu wants to rescue Ming's father and Ming's mother as soon as possible, why?
Isn’t it to give them proper protection and filial piety?
Which of the big families living in the capital is stupid?
Mingxiu went to meet Ming's mother, and now she comes to visit her. I'm afraid it was all arranged by someone thoughtful.
If he takes action rashly, wouldn't he fall into the opponent's trap?
Not only will it be impossible to save people, but it will also cause them to get into endless trouble.
Why didn't Xie Zhan not want to reassure Mingxiu and take him back immediately?
Mingxiu understood what he said.
But understanding doesn't mean there's no rush.
Xie Zhan persuaded her a few more words, and Mingxiu reluctantly accepted.
"Just three days. Within three days, I must get my parents out, otherwise I will never be done with you!"
This was the first time someone spoke to him like this, and Xie Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Okay, I will do my best. Don't be idle these days. First prepare the place for your parents."
After suffering for so long, I definitely need a quiet place to cultivate myself.
The Zhen family is definitely not suitable.
Although there are enough people and the ability to ensure that Ming's father and Ming's mother are well taken care of, the Zhen family is troublesome after all.
As Mingxiu said, it would be okay for her to live alone, but it would be a bit inconvenient for the whole family to go.
If Mingxiu couldn't find a suitable place in the past few days, Xie Zhan even began to think about whether there was a suitable place in Zhuangzi under his own name, or whether he could let his family live in the palace directly.
I just don’t know if Mingxiu will agree.
"I see."
Mingxiu didn't stay here longer. After agreeing on a date with Xie Zhan, she got up and left.
She was not stupid, so she naturally knew that Xie Zhan had put aside his business to see her.
She could turn a blind eye when she was worried about Ming's father and Ming's mother. Now that we had discussed it, there was no point in urging her, so she left her time to Xie Zhan first.
He also had to finish the matters at hand before he could do his best to find a way to rescue Ming's father and Ming's mother.
"Butler." Xie Zhan whispered softly into the butler's ear.
The housekeeper frowned and looked at Xie Zhan with some disapproval, but the master's order was something he could not refuse.
"...Old slave, I obey."
Mingxiu returned to Zhen's house. Old Mrs. Zhen had already heard what happened when she was looking at the house, and sighed in her heart.
"Go and find the master."
After Mr. Zhen met Mrs. Zhen, he said directly: "My son has already heard about Miss Ming's matter. It seems that our previous plan cannot be implemented. How about..."
He wanted to eradicate the root cause, but only by making Mingxiu an orphan without a father and mother could he legitimately enter the Zhen family and get what they needed.
