Madam Nie took a step forward and blocked Chen Ying 'er's line of sight.
"Where's Nie Yuanli?"
Everyone could tell that Madam Nie was angry.
Chen Ying 'er did not seem to notice and continued to smile,"My husband is still working in the government office. He should be back in two hours.”
"Sister, if you are in a hurry, can I send someone to urge you?”
Madam Nie suddenly smiled and held Chen Ying 'er's hand. She patted her hand affectionately and said,"My husband is busy with official matters. As his wife, I can't disturb him.”
"This Nie Yuanli is really something. Forget about taking a concubine, why is he still hiding it? Moreover, it was a beauty like his younger sister. Was he afraid that his younger sister's beauty would not enter his eyes?”
Everyone in the world said that one should marry a virtuous wife and take in concubines and women. Madam Nie's meaning was very simple. You are just a vase and a tool. You have to find your place.
"You're right. Elder Sister has to talk to my husband. We've been married for three days, but he hasn't gone to the government office. It was this servant who persuaded him to go out. It took a lot of effort and exhausted this servant.”
Chen Ying 'er was obviously not someone to be trifled with. The more she spoke, the softer her voice became. As if she had thought of something, her face carried an alluring blush. Every word she said was aimed at her vitals.
There was no killing intent in this exchange, but it was full of wit, making Miao Kong click his tongue in wonder.
It seemed that it was not so easy to enjoy the blessing of having everyone together.
For a moment, Madam Nie and Chen Ying 'er were as good as one person. They called each other' sister 'and' sister 'in harmony.
The group of people came to the main hall and sat down. As soon as they sat down, Chen Ying 'er looked at Miao Kong impatiently, her fox-like eyes filled with deep interest.
"This little master is a monk from that temple? He was so good-looking that it was a pity to be a monk.”
It was a very explicit statement, but other than Nie Xiaoqian who was slightly angry, Madam Nie and Miao Kong remained calm.
The former was a master of self-control, while the latter felt that it was only natural.
I'm good-looking. You're right.
"I'm just a wandering monk. I've made a fool of myself in front of Miss Chen.”
Madam Nie smiled.
The smile on Chen Ying 'er's face froze. This little monk knew that she was a concubine of the Nie residence, yet he called her miss?
Didn't that mean that she didn't treat her as a member of the Nie family at all?
"Hehehehe ~"
"Little monk, you really know how to joke. I'm no longer a lady, you have to call me Madam.”
Miao Kong blinked and looked at Madam Nie. His originally childish face was filled with confusion. He asked somewhat embarrassedly,"Furen, Qie…can you also call me Furen?”
"Little Master Miao Kong, of course you can. You are a monk, so you might not understand these customs.”
Madam Nie smiled until her eyes narrowed as she pretended to be considerate and explained.
"I see."
Miao Kong was enlightened.
This time, the smile on Chen Ying 'er's face became even more stiff.
"But Madam is back?"
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. It sounded steady, but it revealed a sense of weakness.
A scholarly man in his forties, dressed in official robes, walked in.
This man was born Zhou Zheng, and his beard was beautifully groomed. Overall, he was considered a handsome man, but the dark circles under his eyes gave people a sense of decadence.
This person was none other than Nie Yuanli, the father and mother of Hangzhou.
Miao Kong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. In such a short distance, the magistrate had already rubbed his waist twice…
He glanced at Chen Ying 'er. This thing was really ruthless. Wasn't she afraid that she wouldn't have a next meal?
"This…mage is?"
Nie Yuanli had also noticed Miao Kong, an outsider, and he put on his official airs again.
"I am Miao Kong. Greetings, Magistrate.”
Miao Kong stood up and bowed. Under the solemn blessing of the treasure, he looked like a natural born Buddha.
"Husband, this Little Master Miao Kong was invited by this concubine. On the way to visit my relatives, I received a lot of favors from Little Master, so I invited her to the house to worship her for a few days as a repayment.”
Madam Nie gave a simple explanation but didn't say much. She was obviously very dissatisfied with Nie Yuanli.
I don't care if you, Nie Yuanli, take a concubine. It doesn't matter even if you take in a vixen with ill intentions. Madam Nie is confident that she can suppress you, but you're not only the patriarch of the Nie family, but also the magistrate of Hangzhou!
How would the people below look at a dignified chief official sitting in the court with an appearance of excessive indulgence?
"I see. Men, go set up a vegetarian meal.”
Nie Yuanli nodded awkwardly and turned around to give a few instructions.
Very soon, a vegetarian meal was served. Nie Yuanli spoke to Miao Kong enthusiastically. He could tell that the atmosphere was not right.
In short, this meal made Lord Nie very uncomfortable.
However, as they chatted, he realized that this young master Miao Kong, who had given birth to Zhong Lingliu, had a very thorough understanding of Buddhism. At least, he was not a yes-man.
Nie Yuanli didn't know that this little master had a new understanding of the world's general trend and the governance of the people's livelihood, so he couldn't help but start chatting in depth.
"Venerable One, becoming a monk is really a waste of your talent. You should have gone to participate in the imperial examinations.”
Nie Yuanli said regretfully when the banquet ended.
Miao Kong smiled but didn't say anything.
This meal was barely a happy one for both the host and the guest. Nie Yuanli passionately arranged for Miao Kong to stay in the room. Then, he hurriedly walked to the back of the house, obviously to explain to Madam Nie.
Miao Kong didn't bother with Lord Nie, who had caught fire in the back residence. Anyway, Chen Ying 'er didn't have many days left to live.
At the very least, he would not let her continue to stir up trouble.
Miao Kong had already seen through the source of the strange aura in the Nie residence. It was Chen Ying 'er.
No matter what the other party was, at least he was not a good person.
The evil aura that was neither black nor white was really strange. Although Miao Kong despised it in his heart, he still had to be extremely careful.
Miao Kong had heard too many stories about people failing miserably in the gutter.
However, it was not easy to make a move. On the surface, Chen Ying 'er was Magistrate Nie's concubine.
He would talk to Madam Nie tomorrow.
"Dong dong dong."
Just as Miao Kong was planning, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by a crisp voice with a hint of shyness.
"Miao Kong, are you asleep? I'm Xiaoqian."
Sending a pillow when you're sleepy?
Miao Kong couldn't help but smile. He was still planning on his side, but the main character had already delivered himself to his doorstep.
