Powerful ministers are husbands

After rinsing his mouth with water, a piece of sweet pastry was stuffed into his mouth, Pang Miao was stunned, and took a bite.

Cao Lv settled the remaining half in one go.

"I will...never do this kind of thing again." Pang Miao sighed for a long time, and now there was a sweet taste between his lips and teeth, which made him involuntarily pick up another piece of pastry, "If you do it again, I will eat it forever." I can't find such a delicious horseshoe cake—" Three or two times, I ate up the pastry, and the emptiness after vomiting was finally slightly filled.

Cao Lv expressed his satisfaction.

Doctor Kong came back after dealing with the Gu worms, shook his head, and condemned with an admiring expression: "You can raise this kind of Gu worms, master, master. You'd better not have any more contact with him, maybe something more terrifying will come out of it." Toy."

Cao Lu looked sideways at Pang Miao until Pang Miao nodded seriously.

"You haven't agreed yet." Pang Miao said, pointing at him.

Cao Lv nodded sloppily, "Well, I know too."

"You two..." Dr. Kong was tidying up the medicine box while talking, and Pang Miao waited for him to continue when he had nothing to do, but he didn't hear the following words until the lid of the medicine box closed with a "snap".

"What does Doctor Kong want to say?" Pang Miao couldn't hold back, and asked when Doctor Kong was about to leave.

"It's a good match." Dr. Kong put up a bunch of index fingers and put them together, "Life is short, fate is hard to find, cherish it well, and have no complaints or regrets. All in all, I wish you happiness."

Mrs. Pang, who happened to come to see her son, was obviously taken aback when she heard these words.

Dr. Kong smiled kindly at her, "Don't bother me, take my leave."

Xue Jinyi and Zhang Mu quickly retreated.

Seeing his mother coming, Pang Miao hurriedly poured a large glass of water, glanced at the calm Cao Lv, and said, "Doctor Kong is here to see how my leg injury is recovering."

Mentioning the leg injury, looking at her son in the wheelchair, Mrs. Pang thought of what Pang Miao had said to her the day she came home.

"The moment I fell off the cliff, Cao Lu didn't hesitate, and jumped down to save me. I suddenly understood that if I continued to remain indifferent, I would regret it for the rest of my life."

Hearing this news, she knew that what she had always wanted to prevent had finally happened, but she was even more shocked by Cao Lv's serious attitude towards Miao'er.

For people of that status, risking their lives to save each other is not something that can be achieved through ordinary relationships.

Mrs. Pang collected her thoughts, nodded to Cao Lv who was greeting her, and put the basket in her hand on the table, "Your Aunt Jiu made some rice dumplings today, I know you like sweets, so I brought some back, you... ... let's both have some food."

Cao Lu took the bowl and handed it to Pang Miao. Madam Pang watched them eat. The atmosphere in the room did not fall into depression. .

"By the way," Mrs. Pang looked at Cao Lv, who was eating a bowl of rice balls, and asked softly, "Have you talked about this with your parents?"

She didn't point it out, but everyone is not stupid, so it is easy to guess what it is referring to.

Pang Miao's heart skipped a beat. If he were to say that after being with Cao Lv, there would still be things that he dared not imagine, that would be the attitude of the Marquis Ji Yang.He always wishful thinking that Cao Lv and himself would be able to handle it well, but when he really brought it up and thought about it deeply, it was...

He lost his appetite to eat Yuanzi, so he pretended to be eating slowly, put his ears up, and tried his best to make his mother feel that this matter was not worth mentioning.

Cao Lv put down the bowl slowly, and his tone was beyond doubt: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law will handle it properly and will never let A Miao get hurt."

Madam Pang lowered her eyes, sighed faintly, and then showed a faint smile.

"I just hope that Miao'er is happy, and I hope that General Cao can remember what I said today." She slowly stood up, stroking Pang Miao's shoulder with her palm, "Although our Pang family has fallen now, this mansion is still in ruins. There are only us orphans and widowed mothers here, who have no power or power, but as a mother, I will still do my best to protect my children, even if my body is broken, I will not hesitate."

Then she raised her head and looked directly at Cao Lv, with determination and bravery in her eyes.

Pang Miao's eyes were a little sour, and he stretched out his arms to hug his mother.

"My son-in-law will keep it in mind." Cao Lv said, "Thank you mother-in-law."

"Okay, finish eating the dumplings soon, they won't taste good when they get cold." Mrs. Pang patted Pang Miao on the back.

Pang Miao thought for a while and decided to liven up the atmosphere, "Mother, don't worry, if General Cao breaks his promise, I will definitely kick him. I'm not such a stubborn person."

Mrs. Pang laughed, "Okay, you have to keep it in mind."

Without saying anything, Mrs. Pang went back to rest.

After Pang Miao finished eating the dumplings, he saw Cao Lu staring at him, "What's wrong?"

Cao Lv said: "Kicking people hurts."

"..." Pang Miao slightly felt amused, "Then I won't kick you."

"You said it yourself." Cao Lu snatched the words, not giving Pang Miao time to find another word to describe, and then hugged him from behind, "I won't give you a chance."

Pang Miao was dumb, and couldn't help laughing.

"Much earlier than I expected." He scratched the tip of his nose and let out a long sigh of relief.

Cao Lv pinched his cheek, and gently pulled out a big smile, "So, for you, don't overcomplicate things."

Pang Miao turned his head, "The situation in your family is completely different from mine."

Cao Lv raised his eyebrows indifferently.

"I believe you." Pang Miao was the first to surrender.

Cao Lu gently kissed the corner of his mouth, "Come on, I'll help you practice walking."

Before dawn the next day, Cao Lv left Pang's house to go to court.Pang Miao stayed at home practicing calligraphy with nothing to do, and today he could no longer find an excuse to go to the school, and he always went these days, worrying about arousing the suspicion of the target person.So the heavy responsibility of monitoring was handed over to Xue Jinyi. When he arrived at the city gate early in the morning, he vowed to Pang Miao and Zhang Mu that he would never let down their trust.

As a result, when it was dark, Xue Jinyi hadn't returned home yet. Zhang Mu returned from the escort agency and went back to the academy to inquire. The news he got was that Xue Jinyi and Tan Bi had run away.

"This Miss Tan is lively and active. She was joking with a scholar surnamed Gao in the academy this afternoon, because this scholar surnamed Gao is currently the best painter in the academy. In the afternoon, she heard that the last time Xue Jinyi was painting in Songbai Yuan Wu's sword dance is so wonderful, that's why I found him." The hidden guard who was ambushing outside the academy said so.

Pang Miao and Zhang Mu looked at each other silently.

"What exactly is Miss Tan trying to do? Is there anything unusual about Tang Li and the others?" As the daughter of a suspicious person, she had to figure out her motives for being so lively.

"Tang Li still hasn't contacted anyone except Lian Song."

Pang Miao sighed again: "He really can hold his breath." Obviously the yamen had already used the body of the real Tang Li to impersonate Shan Feng and announced that the death case was closed, but this Shan Feng was really cunning and suspicious, and he refused to contact the mastermind as soon as possible.Fortunately, the time limit set by the Holy Majesty, after the local officials leave the imperial capital within the specified time, Shan Feng must contact before the date arrives, otherwise he will fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness.

"General Cao ordered me to closely monitor Tang Li and the others, and I will take my leave."

After the dark guard left, Pang Miao wrote for a while.Mrs. Pang still planned to return to her hometown to take care of the elderly after the matter was over, so the plan to set up a shop in the imperial capital and increase income to make life better was temporarily shelved. The mother and son discussed it and decided to buy land in their hometown at that time.The land price in Qi County is much cheaper than that of the emperor. They can buy a lot of land with the money they have accumulated now, so it is considered a guarantee. They plan to open a shop until they have more money. It's better to be safe.

After waiting for about half an hour, Zhang Mu went out to search again, but did not find anyone.

Pang Miao comforted him, perhaps Xue Jinyi had some plans.Now that he is no longer spending time and drinking like before, seeing one and liking the other, it is time to give him trust.

Zhang Mu said: "This man is not strong enough in martial arts, and he is afraid of losing money."

Pang Miao felt that this was the first time he saw Zhang Mu showing a trace of worry.Indeed, after experiencing the single front's poisoning, the treachery of the enemy may still be beyond imagination.

He patted Zhang Mu on the shoulder, and then saw Xue Jinyi came back with Tan Bi!

"Mr. Pang." Tan Bi was not as enthusiastic as the previous two days, and greeted in a gentle manner.

Seeing the rice paper on the table, Xue Jinyi quickly grabbed one and gave it to Tan Bi, "Look, am I right? Mr. Pang wrote several poems specially for you." He took advantage of Tan Bi's surprise to stare at Looking at the gaps in the handwriting, he turned his head and winked at Pang Miao.

Pang Miao was silent, Zhang Mu didn't speak, and handed over the stage to Xue Jinyi to play to his heart's content.

"Can you give it to me?" Tan Bi opened her eyes wide, and her happy eyes were as bright as stars.

Pang Miao nodded. Anyway, they were all handwritten, and there were still a lot of them in the study.

Tan Bi hugged the rice paper in her arms, and grinned silly, "I want to go back and practice calligraphy well, and I can't let my father look down on me anymore! Mr. Pang, when I practice calligraphy well, I will Thank you with a big gift.”

Pang Miao couldn't bear it anymore, "Throughout the ages, there are countless famous calligraphers, why does Miss Tan take precedence over them?"

"Everyone learns the calligraphy of great calligraphers, and they all look the same after practice. It's really boring." Tan Bi expressed her own maverick, "I just like to be different, just like I don't study too much, but change It’s like going to your academy, this time coming to the imperial capital is really rewarding.”

"Miss Tan Bi is really interesting." Xue Jinyi praised, "Let's talk again next time we have a chance, the curfew is coming soon."

Tan Bi looked at the moonlight outside the door, "Okay, I have to go back and prepare for tomorrow. Mr. Xue, see you at the academy tomorrow." After greeting Pang Miao and Zhang Mu, he hopped away .

Pang Miao watched the figure bouncing like a rabbit disappear in front of the gate of his house, and when he turned his head, he felt that the atmosphere between Zhang Mu and Xue Jinyi was a bit subtle.

"Listen to my explanation!" Xue Jinyi hurriedly defended, "I thought, since the mastermind behind the scenes and Tang Li are not active enough, why don't we give him a chance to meet? So I deliberately approached Tan Bi today, and managed to persuade her tomorrow Invite her father to come to the academy to take a look. I asked the secret guard to report this to Cao Lv, don’t you know? It’s the tall one with a bunch of hair on his forehead.”

Pang Miao said flatly that it was not this person they met when they were inquiring about the news.

Xue Jinyi swallowed, seeing that Zhang Mu's face was still ice-cold, he threw a big firecracker, "Tan Bi doesn't like men!"

"..." Pang Miao and Zhang Mu were both speechless.

"She came into contact with different scholars because she simply admired her talent and wanted to learn..." Xue Jinyi swallowed again, "I'm happy with tomorrow's action, maybe tomorrow will be able to settle the case!"

Zhang Mu patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, I don't doubt you."

Pang Zhu applauded, "I'm so happy." Xue Jinyi's tense body finally relaxed, and took the opportunity to hug Zhang Mu, "I'm so happy too."
