Upon returning to the National Duke's Mansion, the gatekeeper quickly came over to lead the horses for the two, and shouted loudly: "Master and Madam, return to the residence????" Why are you shouting this now? This was to inform the servants that those in charge of preparing hot water had to prepare hot water. Those in charge of preparing tea had to prepare tea. Those in charge of taking care of the horses had to prepare and take care of them??
Qin Mian laughed at Lei Tia, "Tia, it's inevitable that you will eventually walk the 'old' path."
Lei Tia remained calm, "Mhm."
"You're a scammer!" Qin Mian emphasized mischievously as he laughed loudly. If Lei Tia was thirty years old this year, wouldn't he just be ru ing for four years?
Lei Tia was helpless. Eight years older than his wife, he was destined to be teased by her. But he still had to teach his wife a lesson when it was time to teach her a lesson.
Qin Mian did not sense the danger in the least, and continued to walk forward with light steps, continuing to tease Yue Yang."As the old saying goes, there's a gap between every generation of 'three years old', wouldn't it be faster if there were three of us???? Ah!"
Before he even finished speaking, his waist was being held back, and his entire person was suddenly sent flying. He immediately hugged onto Lei Tia's neck, and asked: "What are you doing?"
"Prove I'm not old." Lei Tia took his hand and placed it beside his thigh.
Steward Fu rushed over and only saw the silhouette of a person flying into the distance."Master, this servant has something to report??"
Lei Tia's cold words were left hanging in the air: "We'll talk later."
After more than an hour, Lei Tia appeared alone in the main hall of the front courtyard.
The old man, Steward Fu, lowered his head uncomfortably.
"What is it?"
Steward Fu reported: "Master, today, the manor has received more than ten greetings and invitations. One of them is an invitation from Princess Yan Qing, to the Lady??"
"Give it to me."
"Give it to me."
Lei Tia looked at the door, Qin Mian's face had a 20% sneer and 80% ridicule, he quickly walked over with an imposing ma er.
Lei Tia walked over, "There's no need to get angry at those kinds of people."
The cold air around Qin Mian dissipated as he sat down on the armchair and began to laugh easily, "You should say, 'I'll support you in whatever you want to do'."
Seeing that he was no longer angry, Lei Tia nodded, "No matter what you want to do, I will support you."
Qin Mian patted his shoulder and instructed the Steward Fu, "In reply, please tell Princess Yan Qing that I will keep my appointment. Also, go and check the background of the Princess Yan Qing, the more detailed the better."
"Yes." The Steward Fu continued, "Master, Madam, and one more thing. The Old Gra y has sent someone over today to urge the Old Master and Madam to come over."
As for what it was that allowed Qin Mian and Lei Tia to go there for, there was no need to explain it to them. Lei Tia was now a first rank official, could Lei Daqiang and Madam Du still stay at home?
Lei Tia said coldly: "I'll go in a while."
"Yes, this old servant will take his leave."
After Steward Fu left, Lei Tia sat down in the armchair beside Qin Mian and hugged his, "You want to sleep a little longer? I'll be back with you when I'm done."
Qin Mian jumped up and sat on top of him, his two hands grabbing onto the back of the chair, his two legs crawling out from under the armrest of the chair, locking his entire body into the chair, "You, are mine. Whoever dares to fight with me, I'll show them! "
"Yes." I won't go, sleep." Lei Tia's heart was as soft as water. He kissed his cheek, supported his head and placed it on his shoulder, embracing him, and then patted his back with his large palm.
Originally, Qin Mian had only intentionally locked him up and did not let him go.
Lei Tia quietly carried his back to his room and laid his on the bed. Then he brought the 20 guards and rode his to Lei Xiangzhi's residence.
Lei Qinzhong raised his voice and shouted, "National Duke has arrived!!"
When the servants in Lei Xiangzhi's residence found out that their master's elder brother was National Duke and the Great General of Zhenguo, they were elated. When they heard that the National Duke had arrived, they immediately opened the door and invited him in happily.
"This servant greets National Duke, National Duke, please enter!"
But Lei Tia and his group did not move.
Lei Qinzhong followed Lei Tia's instructions and asked: "Is your old master here?"
The gatekeeper said, "The Lord hasn't returned yet. The Old Master, the two Old Gra y and the Old Madam are all here."
It was only then that Lei Tia, Lei Qinshun and the twenty guards entered the door and followed them in an aggressive ma er.
Lei Daqiang and Madam Du were all smiles when they heard that Lei Tia had come.
"Old master, now that boss has become a first rank official and even Qin Mian is now a first rank Imperial Orders's wife, we can't take our anger on them anymore." The Madam Du reminded Lei Daqiang, "When he comes later, we will apologize for everything that has happened in the past. As long as we can rope him in and bring him back, I can accept the title of Imperial Orders and become the Grand Matriarch!" Thinking that he could also wear the noble Imperial Orders attire, the Madam Du couldn't help but grin.
Madam Wei sipped on her tea and laughed with disdain. Even now, the Madam Du was still dreaming. If it had been so easy to make up for the damage done, there wouldn't be so many tragedies in the world. The action of Madam Du sending people to the National Duke's Mansion today had definitely angered Lei Tia. Otherwise, he would not be willing to see Madam Du and Lei Daqiang again.
Madam Wei held her stomach, painfully frowning, "Old Gramps, my stomach hurts."
Lei Daqiang hurriedly supported her, his face filled with joy."Wei'er, could it be that it's happening again?" In the second year that he came to the capital, Madam Wei gave birth to a son.
"Old gramps, can you help me back to my room?" Madam Wei leaned into his embrace weakly.
Lei Daqiang carefully supported her, "Alright."Go, slow down."
"Old Master!" Madam Du was very clear that she would never give her any face without Lei Daqiang here.
"Aiyo!" The Madam Wei let out another painful low cry.
Lei Daqiang was anxious, he carried her and walked out quickly, instructing the servants, "Hurry and get a doctor."
There was only Madam Du left in the hall.
A Maidservant walked in quickly, "Reporting to the Old Gra y, National Duke is here."
Madam Du could only face Lei Tia alone. She straightened her clothes and pretended to be calm.
Lei Tia strode into the room and stood in the middle of the hall, looking down upon the old woman who was sitting on the seat of honor.
"I heard you're in a hurry to see me?"
The Madam Du did not get up, but raised her hand and gestured to the chair beside him, "That's right. Sit down. Lei Tia, I called you here for?? "
Lei Tia asked Lei Qinzhong, "Lei Qinzhong, you are disrespectful to National Duke, what is your punishment?"
Lei Qinzhong shouted, "Ten staff punishment, sentenced to ten days in prison!"
Madam Du was furious, "Lei Tia, you dare?"
"Take him away!" Lei Tia waved his hand emotionlessly.
Two guards held Madam Du back and pulled him out of the door. Madam Du's shrill and ear-piercing scream sounded as if she had been stabbed by a knife.
Let me go! Let me go! "AHH!" "I'm going to fight you guys to the death??
The servants were all dumbfounded, at a loss of what to do.
"Tell Lei Xiangzhi, if he can't manage his family members properly, I will manage them for him!" Lei Tia said these words coldly as he flicked his sleeves and left.
Returning to the National Duke's Mansion, Qin Mian was still asleep. Lei Tia bent over and pecked his lips lightly, took off his shoes, laid on the bed and hugged his. Qin Mian didn't know if he sensed anything in his dreams, but he rubbed his waist and continued sleeping.
When the two of them woke up, they saw that it was already 4 in the afternoon.
After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Lei Tia was eating tea in the parlour when he mentioned the matter of going to Lei Xiangzhi's house.
After a while, a servant reported that Lei Xiangzhi had arrived.
The two of them met with guests at the main hall of the outer court.
Lei Xiangzhi put down his teacup and stood up with his hands folded in front, "Greeting Big Brother, Big Sis."
"Fifth Brother, no need to be so courteous. Sit." Qin Mian asked directly, "Is Fifth Brother here for the old lady's matter?"
"Exactly." Lei Xiangzhi let out a sigh, "She is my biological mother after all." He was stuck between his own mother and his elder brother and sister-in-law, who had helped him out. He was in a dilemma.
"Fifth Brother, you can be at ease. The old lady won't suffer any grievances while in prison. Tia only tried to scare her, to give her one last warning. You have stayed in the government for three years, so you should be able to imagine just how big of a commotion Tia would cause when he enters the capital. We have always wanted to live in peace and quiet. But if someone does come and make us unhappy, we'll fight back, and the old man and the old lady will do the same." Qin Mian said indifferently.
Lei Xiangzhi nodded his head, "I understand. All these years, Big Sis and Big Brother had to endure it for the sake of me, Third Brother and Fourth Brother." It was impossible for their relationship to last for the rest of their lives. Once the last bit of their relationship was used up, they would become strangers.
"I don't have the face to ask Big Brother to let go of that old lady. I just hope that Big Brother can consider the fact that she isn't young and spare her the physical pain of suffering." Lei Xiangzhi laughed bitterly, "The old man is fine, the Madam Wei can manage him. On the side of the old lady, I sometimes have the heart but not the strength. However, today's matter seemed to have spread out. It was likely that Big Brother Yu's reputation?? Brother, are you trying to blow this matter up? " Lei Xiangzhi guessed.
"What is fame?" Lei Tia did not deny it, "I do not need a good reputation."
Lei Xiangzhi couldn't understand the meaning behind these words for a while.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia didn't have any intention to explain.
When Lei Xiangzhi returned home, he immediately asked, "Ol 'Five, how was it?"
Madame Li frowned."Eunuch, hubby is now an official. You should change your name as well."
"Since you're already used to it, what's so special about calling me by that name?" Lei Daqiang disagreed, then asked: "What happened exactly? Lei Tia, he actually dared to put your mother in jail? "
Lei Xiangzhi said coldly: "Why would I not dare? Father, you still don't understand? Big Brother's current identity is not only your son, but also a first stage National Duke. He is an important subject to the Emperor! Which of the two do you think is greater in terms of status, your son 'and' National Duke '? "
Lei Daqiang was speechless. After a while, he said with regret: "If only your position were a little higher, then your mother would have been able to seal Imperial Orders?? Who would have thought that Lei Tia would actually be Great General?? "
Madam Wei's heart skipped a beat. When she saw Lei Xiangzhi's expression, she realized that it was really ugly.
Lady Li sneered in her heart, sighed, and said: "If only there wasn't a branch family in the begi ing, then it would be fine. Eunuch and Gra y would still be living together with Big Brother, wouldn't it be natural for Gra y to just directly enter Imperial Orders? His father-in-law's identity had also risen to another level. Eunuch, don't you think so? "
Lei Daqiang didn't realize that she had said the opposite of what she was trying to say, so he added, "That's right."
Lei Xiangzhi's face turned green, his fists clenched tightly in his wide sleeves, he roared at Li Clan: "Li Clan!"
Madame Li made a face at him before floating away, "Husband, I'm going to look for my child."
When the sun was slightly to the west, National Duke's Mansion's carriage entered Chong En Street, entered through the middle gate, and stopped in the courtyard.
Yuan Yuan jumped off the horse carriage and saw his father and father standing side by side not far away from him. A smile appeared on his face and he quickly ran towards them.
"Daddy, daddy!"
"Yuan Yuan, it's full. How was your life in the academy today? Is someone bullying you? " Qin Mian asked while sizing up his two sons. He didn't find any traces of a fight on their bodies, so he was relieved.
"No, Daddy, don't worry."
Yuan Yuan said in all seriousness, "Father, we are now big kids, we can't call them 'Yuan Yuan' and 'Full' anymore."
"Alright." Qin Mian laughed and rubbed the heads of the two little fellows, "In the future, your dad and I will call you 'Ruiqi' and 'Ruilin', okay?"
"Yes." I can't rub my head either." Qin Ruiqi said with a stern expression.
Qin Mian released his hands helplessly, "Okay, okay." Sigh, when a son grows up, he won't be cute anymore.
"Father, all the students in the academy are envious of the school bag that father designed for me and brother." Lei Ruilin quickly tried to coax his father to be happy.
Qin Ruiqi agreed, "They even envied my little brother and me for our sleeves."
Qin Mian chuckled, "Really?"
"Yes." Father, and?? "
The family of four happily returned to the i er courtyard.
