Chapter 224 The invitation has to be released
To reassure the child, Cheng Su pretended to be relaxed and grabbed the roast chicken from the food box and waved it towards the child.

Li Yaoguang choked and looked straight at Cheng Su's claws, "Uncle, have you washed your hands?"

Cheng Su paused, his previous playboy look gone, looking dumbfounded.

Li Yaoguang was also speechless and amused. He quickly took out a copper basin from the space, scooped a basin of water from the large water vat, watched the family of three wash their hands, set the food, and watched them finally eat.

During the meal, Li Yaoguang and Cheng Su didn't say anything, but they listened to Yu Meixue and her son chattering a lot. Li Yaoguang also learned more details that Yi Ge'er couldn't see during the day.

Before he knew it, the meal was over. Li Yaoguang collected the bowls and left only half of the cakes that were easy to preserve. He took the remaining half and a roast chicken that his uncle had saved. After bidding farewell to his relatives and crawling out of the ancestral hall, Li Yaoguang found the imprisoned Luanshan Yingchun and the bloody apricot flowers and leaves in the woodshed next to the kitchen of the marquis's mansion.

The four of them were very surprised to see her coming. Luanshan and Yingchun didn't even bother to criticize Xinghua and Xingye for being ungrateful. They were just worried that Li Yaoguang would be caught by the Marquis' Mansion if she took the risk to come, so they asked her to leave quickly.

Li Yaoguang was satisfied with their loyalty. He didn't say much and just stuffed the food in his hand to them. Then he looked at the apologetic apricot flowers and leaves beside him, and Li Yaoguang felt complicated.

Should I blame them? It seems that I can't blame them, but can I blame them? I feel bad.

Li Yaoguang couldn't do more than ask Luanshan and the other man to share some of their food with them, and left two bottles of medicine to save their lives. After all, betrayal is betrayal, and she couldn't repay evil with kindness.

After telling Luanshan and the others to wait patiently and not panic, Li Yaoguang already had a plan in his mind on how to get his aunt and cousin out when he left the mansion, and it was just a matter of implementing it.

However, it was already late at night and it was not appropriate to disturb them, so she resisted the urge to ask for help immediately. She went to the corner gate to thank Mrs. Yu, stuffed two taels of silver into her pocket, and returned home with her brother and Black Whirlwind.

Li Yaoguang, who had not slept all night, counted the sounds of the night watchman's stick. He got up before dawn and went straight to the Cheng'en Mansion to find Lu Er.

She was a regular customer and the doorman already knew her. She had no problems entering Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, which was even easier than entering Marquis Zhenwei's Mansion.

Li Yaoguang was invited to the living room to be served tea. He hadn't sat for a while when Lu Fang, who had heard the news, came in hurriedly without even washing his face.

The two sent the servants out to whisper to each other, and Lu Fang immediately patted his chest and said, "This is very simple. Just wait patiently. I will go find my mother right away. Don't worry, I will bring her back to you in good condition."

Lu Fang took charge of the matter, and before leaving, he did not forget to instruct the servants to serve Li Yaoguang breakfast and snacks and to ensure that she was well served.

Seeing this guy leave in a hurry, Li Yaoguang felt relieved and ate a little of the breakfast brought by the servants.

At the same time, in the main courtyard of Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, Lady Fang, the wife of Duke Cheng'en, was still in bed when she was woken up by her son.

After hearing the purpose of her son's visit, Fang thought of the gold-embossed invitation letter her son had recently given her as a filial gift. It had earned her enough face in front of a group of powerful and wealthy women, both good and bad relationships with them. Even the emperor and his wife in the palace, who had received the invitation letter and were said to have secretly played with her, had given rewards. Of course, Fang was happy to help with this small favor.

He called the personal maid and asked her to take the invitation from the Mansion of Marquis Cheng'en. After giving some instructions, the maid led four clever little maids and eight strong servants, and sat in the gorgeous carriage specially allowed by the master. They went to the Mansion of Marquis with full momentum. As soon as they arrived, they went straight to the main gate, signaled their maids to knock on the door, and handed over the invitation from the Mansion of Marquis Cheng'en.

Poor Shui Bo, his old bones were still not awake at this time. He was awakened by the yawn of the boy on duty downstairs. He swayed his old arms and legs to open a corner of the ceremonial door and received the invitation from the little girl. When he heard that it was the wife of Duke Cheng'en who personally sent the invitation, inviting the sixth lady of her family and her young master to come over for a chat, Shui Bo was startled and all sleepiness disappeared. He hurriedly asked the boy on duty to go to the corner gate of the inner courtyard to notify them, not daring to slack off at all.

The backyard of Zhenweihou Mansion.

No one in the mansion was happy about what happened last night. Marquis Zhenwei was even more furious, and he despised Lin for being incompetent and unable to control the people in the mansion. He did not rest in the main courtyard at night.

Lin was not willing to deal with a bunch of illegitimate concubines, so she had always avoided their greetings, which was annoying. In addition, the old lord was old, slept little at night, and felt sleepy in the morning, so she had long since avoided their greetings.

At this moment, Mrs. Lin was sleeping soundly in the quiet bed, but she didn't expect to hear a noise outside. The light sleeper Lin woke up immediately, got up, opened the curtain and shouted outside to ask what was going on. Mother He immediately came in with the invitation that the doorman had just brought in, to report.

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she thought something was wrong, "Is this really the invitation sent by the wife of Duke Cheng'en herself?" Mother He opened the invitation, revealed the contents, and tapped the seal.

"Yes, the seal is here, it can't be fake, and the concierge said that the other party is very impressive, and the emblem on the carriage is also from the Cheng'en Mansion, it can't be wrong."

When Lin heard this, her brows knitted together and she asked again, "Where is the Marquis?"

Mother He paused, looking embarrassed, not knowing how to start.

Seeing this, Lin smiled coldly, "Humph, tell me, which little goblin's bed are you in again?"

Mother He hesitated, "No, it's not a goblin..."

"no?"

"Yeah." Mother He nodded and said dryly: "No."

Lin was also surprised and asked, "Who is that?"

Mother He was nervous, worried that her master was deliberately not telling the truth, but looking at her master's expression, she knew that she hated lying the most. Seeing her master urging her, Mother He gritted her teeth and finally spoke.

"Yes, yes, alas, the Marquis stayed in the room of Lin Sanye's aunt last night."

When Lin heard this, she sneered, her face full of contempt: "A middle-aged woman doesn't mind being shabby, and she's going to fight with the goblins, aren't you afraid of breaking your legs?"

"Madam, please calm down."

"That's enough. Why bother with this old man? He's just sullying my mouth! It's not easy to offend the Cheng'en Mansion. Go ahead and invite them to the flower hall in the backyard to serve tea. Then go to Rongxi Hall and hand the invitation to the old lady, and ask her to make the decision."

People are always imprisoned as punishment. Whether to release them or not, I don't want to be involved in this bad luck. Let the old immortal make the decision, or he will come back to settle the score with me.

Seeing that her daughter didn't want to be involved in anything at the moment, Mother He hurriedly agreed, said a few words to comfort her master, and hurriedly left.

After leaving the main courtyard, she asked a maid in the courtyard to take the invitation to Rong Xi Tang to ask the old Lord Feng to make a decision. She then straightened her clothes and took four maids with her. Seeing this, the eight servants hurried to the gate to greet people.

At her age, she didn't want to make trouble for herself or offend the old Lord. It would be good to please him. Besides, who isn't a capable person around the master?
On this side, the people from Duke Cheng'en's Mansion were welcomed in and served tea, while on the other side, the eldest maid hurried to Rong Xi Hall with trepidation and had to present the invitation to report. The old nanny, who had just woken up, narrowed her eyes in displeasure when she heard this, but since it was related to the Marquis' Mansion, she dared not be negligent. She still took the invitation and went into the inner room, woke up the old Lord Feng and reported the matter.

As soon as Old Feng heard it, he knew the reason, and was so angry that a mouthful of phlegm got stuck in his chest and couldn't go up or down. He knew that it was probably Old Six who was secretly helping him.

The hateful eldest daughter-in-law is so domineering and authoritarian. She hasn't been in charge of the household for a long time, and the house is as leaky as a sieve. No matter how many precautions she took, even locking up everyone, she still couldn't prevent the leak!

Should I not respond?

Marquis Zhenwei is no longer the same as he used to be, but now the Duke Cheng'en's Mansion is in high spirits and they are not someone they can afford to offend. After thinking it over, the old Lord Feng waved away the old nanny who was patting him on the back and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Go, you go in person, you are just going to talk, let the sixth son and his mother go, but leave the sixth son behind. As for the sixth son's wife, send someone capable to follow her and keep a close eye on her. Also, tell her in person that when visiting someone, they have to be polite. Tell her to think about her family and her husband, and tell her what to say and what not to say!"

The old nanny watched her master hold her hands tightly at the end of her words. The old nanny nodded heavily, promised to get the job done, and hurried away to do her work.

But how could they know that the deeper meaning behind this action was nothing else but to rescue people out of the Marquis' Mansion first?
I can only say that what they did was too shady and dishonest. They made themselves weak and imagined too much.
