[Pretender] Acacia is not negative

Sunset on the west mountain, today's sunset glow is particularly beautiful, and half of the sky is red.

Because of Xiang Shan's disturbance, Ming Jing had no intention of staying in the company anymore, so he went home early and waited for Brother Lou Cheng to come home for dinner.

As the sky was getting dark, Ming Jing glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and it was already 7 pm.

There are only her and Ah Xiang in the huge Ming Mansion. Ming Jing looks at the table full of dishes, and her thoughts gradually deepen. Xiang Shan Tieye's words are still circling in her mind today. Will Lou Cheng and the two brothers be in danger?

While thinking about it, she heard Ah Xiang who was standing at the door suddenly turn around and run back, "You're back, Eldest Young Master and Young Master Ah Cheng are back." She ran to Ming Jing, looked at Ming Jing's gradual smile and said, "Eldest Miss , I’m going to heat up the dishes and then we can start eating.”

Ming Jing nodded to her and said, "Ah Xiang, thank you for your hard work."

"Miss, this is what Axiang should do." Axiang said and ran into the kitchen to start working.

Ming Jing sat at the long table, quietly waiting for the two brothers to tidy up before pacing over.

It's been five years. In these five years, Ming Jing has learned to endure, knowing that losing her temper will not bring about a solution. She also learned to be patient, because you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient. She knows that being impatient is bad. .Every time something happened, she would let herself calm down first and analyze it carefully. If she couldn't figure it out by herself, she would wait for Minglou Mingcheng to come back at home before discussing it with them.

When both of them sat down, Ah Xiang had almost heated up the dishes.

Minglou sat down and said, "Sister, eat."

Ming Jing glanced at Ah Xiang who was still busy in the kitchen, nodded and said softly: "Did something happen to you last night?"

Minglou Mingcheng was startled, and looked up at Mingjing at the same time. Minglou asked nervously, "Sister, how do you know?" Over the years, although the two brothers often needed Mingjing's help with some things, they were not dangerous. The lack of medicines in the second clinic was really helpless, so they wanted to ask Ding Jing to find a way, but they didn't want their sister to take risks, so they made another plan, which was the plan they carried out last night.Although it was explained that Cheng made a mistake yesterday, how could the eldest sister know?

Ming Jing sighed heavily, "Xiang Shan told me." She paused, seeing the nervous expressions of the two brothers' eyebrows, Ming Jing thought about it, it seemed that what Xiang Shan said was true, but if Xiang Shan really had evidence, then Why not arrest Ah Cheng directly, but come and tell her?

Ming Jing thought about it and raised his head again, "You two are really capable, why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me?" Even though he said so, Ming Jing also knew that there was not much she could do to help them, after all these years, she didn't even have a gun After touching it a few times, what I can do is just some things in the market.

Minglou stretched out his hands to cover Ming Jing and put them on the table with cool hands. Ming Jing's hands were beautiful, slender and long, but they were not jade hands like green onions, but sharp and capable hands, "Sister, we planned in advance. Alright." He glanced at Mingcheng, saw Mingcheng bowed his head, and continued, "If it wasn't for a temporary situation, the original plan would have been very successful."

Ming Jing glanced at the two of them and asked, "What's the situation?"

Minglou didn't speak, Mingjing looked at Mingcheng again, "Ah Cheng, tell me."

Holding the porcelain bowl in both hands, Mingcheng pursed his lips, "I met someone during the action, and I was afraid of hurting her, so I was discovered when I took her away..." Mingcheng paused, then continued: "But, the person who saw me was killed by me on the spot, but I didn't expect..."

Minglou mumbled while listening: "When I acted before, I never saw someone so caring..."

"Who? Do you know Ah Cheng?" Ming Jing heard something different about Ming Lou's words.

Mingcheng nodded. Although he had prepared for this operation, he never expected to meet that woman. At that time, he didn't care what that woman would do there. His only thought was to bring her to him first...

"Eldest sister, you don't need to ask, she's a woman, he won't tell." Minglou smiled slightly, and Mingjing was about to ask something, but Minglou raised his nervous nerves and asked: "Elder sister, today Xiangshan What did I tell you?"

Only then did Ming Jing's thoughts shift away from the matter between Ah Cheng and that girl, and he recalled seriously: "When I went to talk to Boss Liu again this morning, Xiang Shan came, and he asked me how I treated Boss Liu. The thing is so interested, I said it was a business matter and it was inconvenient to disclose it to him, and then he talked about you." Ming Jing paused while talking, and suddenly thought of something, she continued: " He said his people saw Cheng."

Minglou Mingcheng was stunned for a long time, then Mingcheng said righteously: "Brother, since I've been exposed, then continue to act out the scene where I'm at odds with you... This way at least you won't be implicated."

Ming Lou shook his head slowly, as if thinking deeply, he said: "If Xiang Shan really had evidence of seeing you, he would have come to us a long time ago, and there is no need to tell Eldest Sister about this first." He looked at Ming Jing With a glance, she said again: "The eldest sister said that she met Xiang Shan this morning, but you and I have nothing to do all day today, which means that Xiang Shan can't do anything to the two of us."

Ming Jing couldn't help nodding his head when he heard what he said, but then asked: "But how did he know what you two are doing?"

Ming Lou stretched out two fingers and tapped on the table, then said: "Either he didn't know at all, just guessed, he suffered a loss in the incident of the password book in the third war zone five years ago, and this matter has nothing to do with Ming Lou. Taiwan-related, he has reason to doubt our identities, and he is also targeting us after he comes back, so he deliberately said this in front of the elder sister, to see your reaction, let us mess up first."

Mingjing Mingcheng nodded, and heard Minglou continue to say: "Or maybe someone really saw Ah Cheng, but this person is a person under the dark side. He doesn't want the Japanese military to know the existence of this person, so he doesn't want to I wasted this nail under the dark side for Ah Cheng."

Ming Jing nodded again, grabbed the edge of the table with ten fingers, and asked again: "If it is the second type, why did he come to tell me?"

"Maybe the result he wants to see is the same as the first one." Mingcheng said, frowning slightly.

"Maybe..." Minglou paused, then looked at the two of them again, "Since he did this, there must be a reason for him to do it." He said and looked at Mingcheng, "He will definitely come to us tomorrow , we'd better be prepared with both hands."

Mingcheng nodded, "Understood."

Ming Jing looked at the two of them, and couldn't help worrying in his heart, "Can you tell me what you plan to do this time?"

"Elder Sister..." Ming Lou sighed and called her, but seemed to comfort her, patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry, I think Xiang Shan has no intention of going to war since he did this."

Ming Jing nodded, and said to the two of them: "You must be careful, you know?"

Seeing the two nodding their heads, Ming Jing lowered her head and began to eat again. After a long time, she suddenly raised her head again, frowned and asked Minglou, "How are you and Wang Manchun doing now?" A few days ago, I heard Ah Cheng say that he and Wang Manchun had a quarrel two days ago.

Over the years, the three siblings, including Ah Xiang, have been able to find some happy things to adjust in the tense atmosphere.

Minglou curled his lips and smiled: "Eldest sister... we two are still the same, and everyone knows that we are not getting along."

As soon as Ming Lou finished speaking, he heard A Xiang's voice behind him, "In Ming Mansion, we all know that it's our eldest young mistress."

Minglou smiled foolishly, without explaining too much.

Looking at his appearance, it seems that they have reconciled a long time ago, Ming Jing pursed his lips and smiled, and didn't ask any more questions.

***

Sure enough, as expected by Ming Lou, Xiang Shantie came the next day.

"I heard that there are some good teas coming here, sir, I came here to try them out." Xiang Shan was not polite, and sat down on the armchair opposite Minglou as soon as he came in.

Minglou smiled, and replied, "Indeed, there are some newcomers Biluochun."

While speaking, Mingcheng had already brought up the brewed tea, Xiang Shantie also took the tea, and took a sip, "I heard you Chinese say that this tea should be drunk hot, it is indeed right."

Ming Lou nodded, "Yes, the things passed down by the ancients naturally have their truths." If Xiang Shan didn't mention it, Ming Lou would naturally not mention it, and just waited for him to get into the topic.

Xiang Shantie also raised his head and glanced at Mingcheng who was standing aside, his eyes darkened suddenly, and said: "Mr. Ah Cheng has made a good hand of tea. If you Chinese say you can make tea, you need to talk about peace of mind. You don't have yourself, you only have tea." .”

Mingcheng raised half of the corner of his mouth, "Master Xiang Shan is overrated, I just made it up casually, I don't know what peace of mind is."

Xiang Shan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Will you also steal things while making tea?"

The air in the office seemed to be quiet, and Minglou smiled for a long time, "Is Mr. Xiangshan joking? My Ming family has nothing, how could Ah Cheng steal anything?"

Xiang Shan raised his hand and touched his nose, "Mr. Ah Cheng must know what he lacks, right?"

Ah Cheng looked confused, "I really don't understand what Xiang Shan Dazuo said."

"The Imperial Army Hospital was attacked last night, and some military supplies were robbed. Someone saw Mr. Ah Cheng there yesterday." Xiang Shantie finally got to the point.

"Ah Cheng?" Ming Lou looked at Ming Cheng with disbelief.

"I think I must have read it wrong. I didn't go to the Imperial Army Hospital last night." Ah Cheng said.

"Then where was Mr. Ah Cheng the night before?" Xiang Shan continued to ask.

"at home."

"This answer is useless." Xiang Shan smiled.

"Ah Cheng, go out, let me talk to Master Xiang Shan." Ming Lou ordered Ming Cheng, who nodded and went out.

"Where is the person that Xiangshan Dazuo told you about? Is it credible? Ah Cheng has been with me for so many years. I believe he will not steal anything because of his character." Ming Lou said with a smile, on the one hand separating himself from this matter. On the one hand, let Xiang Shan produce evidence.After not seeing Xiang Shan's answer for a long time, Minglou tentatively asked again: "It seems that the person Mr. Xiang Shan mentioned doesn't exist?"

Hearing what he said, Xiang Shan felt angry, "Mr. Ming should know that it's not difficult for me to arrest Ah Cheng from your family."

"But you are still standing here and negotiating terms with me." Minglou smiled and replied, "I think Xiangshan Dazuo did this because he had already thought about the terms."

"It's good if you understand, I can arrest Mingcheng directly, but I didn't arrest him, not because I didn't have evidence, but because I didn't want to hurt a person who can serve the Great Empire because of this trivial matter."

What Xiang Shan said was high-sounding, and Minglou could hear what he meant. Although he said Mingcheng on the surface, he was secretly a nail in the dark.

"Then what's your condition?" Minglou asked.

"I want your eldest sister, Ming Jing." Xiang Shan replied, "Let her be a hostage and live in my house."

"Impossible." Before he had time to think, Ming Lou objected immediately.

"You have no choice." Xiang Shan said coldly, "Let her come to work with you tomorrow morning, and I will send someone to pick her up."
