The news of the marriage between the Duke of Ling and the Duke of Jing'an Mansion spread throughout the streets and alleys. The lady of Ming family was the most noble daughter in the capital. The gift of betrothal sent by the Duke of Ling was aroused by everyone in the capital.When the famous lady Ming Tan learned that Li Lingyi, the wife of the Duke of Lingguo, entered the mansion, she dressed up slowly. The Liang family was not very interested in this marriage, and she simply took advantage of the military power of the Marquis' Mansion. Moreover, Liang Zixuan had already received privately with her cousin. How could she agree to such a marriage?

Li Lingyi was a little impatient when she saw Mingtan coming, and quickly raised her smile, wishing she could welcome Mingtan into the mansion immediately.Seeing the betrothal gift brought by Li Lingyi, Mingtan pointed out that the matchmaker was not picky about it, but she was very particular about the betrothal gift. If she didn't know, she thought she was the one who was so arrogant to the Duke's Mansion.Li Lingyi hurriedly held her hand and said that she would give her a betrothal gift again so that she would not suffer any grievance.But today the whole city saw her being hired. If she fails, she will not look good.Ming Tan looked at the marriage letter she handed over and gave the maid a wink. The maid deliberately pushed the screen, and the marriage was temporarily rejected by Madam Li on the grounds of being unlucky.

When he heard that Liang Zixuan was going to take his cousin to pray for blessings, Mingtan hurriedly asked the servant to prepare a carriage.Jiang Xu, the king of Dingbei, met an assassin on his way back to Beijing. He guessed that they were instructed by the Liang family. Because they were injured during the war, Jiang Xu could not break free for a while, so he had to flee to Hanyan Temple in a hurry.Liang Zixuan took her cousin Zhu'er to Hanyan Temple to pray for blessings. Zhu'er already had their children in her womb. She was worried that Ming Tan would have a hard time and her children's life after she entered the mansion, which made Liang Zixuan feel very distressed.Mingtan looked at it secretly and decided to get the wooden sign they prayed for together, with a name on it, so that they would not be afraid that they would refuse to accept it when they broke off the engagement.

Ming Tan asked the maid to guard outside, and waited until they left and entered the hall to find the wooden signs for the two. Jiang Xu happened to be in the corner of the hall. Seeing that she almost fell from the chair, he hurried forward to save the person.Seeing that his silk stockings were broken, Mingtan quickly broke free from his arms and thanked him.At this time, the voice of a county magistrate coming to capture the thieves came outside the door, and the maid quickly took out the token to stop them from entering.Ming Tan guessed that it might be Jiang Xu's fault. In order to make the two of them clear, he threatened to stop them from entering. The county magistrate was afraid of the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion and had to leave here.After Ming Tan left, Jiang Xu picked up the jade pendant she had fallen and wanted to chase after her and return it, but when he passed by a group of soldiers and horses searched, Jiang Xu quietly lay on Ming Tan's carriage.On the way, Ming Tan found that before Jiang Xu could react, a flying knife rushed over. Jiang Xu asked Ming Tan to leave quickly, but the coachman ran away early because he was afraid.Jiang Xu killed the assassins in a piece of armor and came back to ask Ming Tan to enter the capital, but Ming Tan refused because he was a man and a woman who shared a car, not to mention that they had never known each other, and she didn't know who Jiang Xu was.Jiang Xu covered his wound and looked at the water bags and medicines falling from the car, and was furious.

Bai Minmin heard that Tan encountered a killer when she went to Hanyan Temple. Only then did Ming Tan realize that the prayer sign she brought to Hanyan Temple was gone, so she had no evidence.Bai Minmin suggested that he could go to the mansion to find evidence of Liang Zixuan's affair with his cousin.Mingtan went to meet his adoptive father and mother Daxian Zuo Xiangsu Su Wenchun and Zhang Yunru, hoping that Zhang Yunru would accompany him to the Duke's Mansion to apologize.During the excuse of Zhang Yunru talking to Li Lingyi, Ming Tan left here with the excuse of finding Miss Rong'er.Ming Tan sent the maid away and quietly entered the study room. After searching for no results, he happened to enter the dark room.A sword suddenly stood on Ming Tan's neck, but he didn't expect that he was Jiang Xu from that day.Ming Tan thought Jiang Xu was a bandit and suggested that everyone could get what they needed.

When Li Lingyi heard that Tan was missing, she quickly asked Zhu'er to stay in the room with peace of mind and never cause trouble for them.Jiang Xu found a lot of official silver in the secret room. Ming Tan wanted to take a ingot of silver as evidence, but was knocked out by Jiang Xu.Ming Tan woke up in the mansion and was puzzled. Bai Minmin was very worried. Ming Tan realized that if he did not break off the engagement, the Ming family would be in trouble!

In Liang's mansion, in order to see that all the silver in the secret room was gone, King Jiang Xu of Dingbei left a letter saying that he was greedy for military pay, and now these are just a drop in the bucket.At the Shangyuan Banquet, Li Lingyi hurriedly greeted Ming Tan with a smile, wanting to mention the marriage between the two families, but Ming Tan took the lead and ignored it.King Dingbei suddenly returned to the capital and came to the banquet, and everyone on the table was immediately discussed.
