Chapter 303: Plausible
Princess Suzaku nodded: "It was that year that Yin'er was framed - you know this thing - trapped under the back cliff of Songshan for three days. Thanks to Miss Meng's rescue, otherwise I would never have seen him again. After that, he looked at Meng Qingquan with gratitude in his eyes.
Meng Qingquan hurriedly said: "The princess misunderstood. β
Princess Suzaku shook her hand at her, and said sincerely to the Wu family: "The grace of saving lives should be reciprocated by the spring, and the Zhao family will not forget this kindness." β
Wu bowed and said, "The princess doesn't have to worry too much. After speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Su proudly, and her well-maintained face was brilliant.
She had never raised her eyebrows like this, and her heart was full of good expectations.
Last year, Wang Heng and Zhao Yin went to Mingzhou to investigate the pirates and disappeared together, and she was both sorry and happy - sorry that Zhao Yin was gone, and Wang Heng was gone.
But more than a year later, the two are back!
Zhao Yin returned to Beijing, but Wang Heng was nowhere to be seen, which made Meng Yuanxiang very worried: What did Wang Heng do? Zhao Yin did not disclose the results of the investigation, and even the emperor was secretive about it, which deepened his uneasiness.
The Meng family paid attention to Zhao Yin's attitude towards Meng Qingquan, so as to judge the good fortune and the bad luck. Fortunately, Zhao Yin was no different, and was entrusted by Weihai General Geng Zhong to help Meng Qinghe bring a New Year's gift back to his mother's family. Zhao Yin came to the door while Meng Yuanxiang was in the Yamen. The Wu family left him to eat, but he also refused, avoiding meeting with Meng Yuanxiang. Afterwards, Meng Yuanxiang didn't want to ask him, after all, it was a taboo.
Later, the princess invited the Wu family and Meng Qingquan to come to the house as guests, and the concubine's birthday sent a post to the Meng family, and rumors broke out outside that the two families were going to marry, and Meng Yuanxiang and his wife were relieved, and they were unexpectedly happy.
Meng Qingquan solemnly told her parents that she had already explained to the prince that she would not marry for life, and in order to avoid the embarrassment of refusing to marry the princess, her mother asked her mother to reveal this meaning to the princess. The reason is also ready-made: she cares about Wang Heng, and as Wang Heng's fiancΓ©e for so many years, once she withdraws, what face does she have to marry someone else?
Wu said that if he has the opportunity to become a master and slap the face of the Wang family, why don't he marry? blame his daughter, "He is so ruthless to you, and you still miss him?"
Meng Qingquan explained: "I don't miss him, and I don't want to marry Zhao Yin. After persisting for so many years, if I marry when I meet Gaomen, what will others think of me? Even the Zhao family may not be able to look down on me and say that I am Gao Pan. It's better not to marry, and I can still let others look up to me, and I can't slander it if I want to. β
Meng Yuanxiang felt that what his daughter said was reasonable, and not climbing relatives would make the Zhao family respect them more, and they might not be estranged. Although he was very reluctant, his wife had always loved Meng Qingquan, and she had an idea, so she couldn't ask for it, so she could only follow her.
Before coming today, Meng Qingquan told his mother to find an opportunity to reveal her intention not to marry for life and calm down the rumors outside.
Wu agreed, and he had been looking for an opportunity just now.
When Meng Qingquan's congratulatory gift was displayed by the princess, Meng Qingquan winked at his mother, suggesting that she was a good opportunity to say it now.
Wu also felt that this opportunity was good, and quickly prepared a draft: first pretended to sigh how his daughter had devoted herself to making a needle girl in the past few years, and now her heart is like stopping water, in addition to helping her housekeeper, she became a female red and copied the scriptures, and never wanted to get married, so she could practice this good calligraphy and embroidery. Without mentioning the word Wang family, others would naturally think that it was Wang Heng who ruined Meng Qingquan's life.
However, this good opportunity was ruined by Su Moline.
Under Wu's anger, his mind also changed.
She saw that her daughter was praised by the two princesses, and she was already fluttering and uncontrollable; and when she saw that everyone looked at her mother and daughter with envy and jealousy, she enjoyed it even more; Later, her daughter was trampled by Su Molin in public, and she became competitive under her resentment, and she couldn't wait for a miracle to make a big reversal and slap the face of the Su family's mother and daughter. As soon as she thought so, the princess said that Meng Qingquan was the savior of the prince.
The Wu family was overjoyed, thinking that if the princess really chose Meng Qingquan as the princess, then she would be able to push the boat down the river, this slap made Su Molin ruthless, Qingquan also had a lifelong support, and the Meng family could also climb the Vermilion Bird Palace.
With this thought, she was even more reluctant to say it.
Meng Qingquan saw that his mother didn't say anything, so he couldn't help but glance at her.
Everyone was surprised, but Su Molin was not surprised, but looked at Meng Qingquan and smiled meaningfully, which made Meng Qingquan's heart extremely uneasy.
At this moment, a daughter-in-law quietly walked up to Princess Suzaku with a red sandalwood box, whispered something, and then presented the box.
The princess looked puzzled and motioned to the daughter-in-law to open the box.
The crowd didn't know what was going on, and they all looked up.
After the daughter-in-law opened the box, Princess Suzaku lowered her eyes and looked at the box, and was stunned for a moment, and then raised her eyes to look at Meng Qingquan, looking very puzzled.
She was puzzled, and everyone was even more puzzled, not knowing what was in the box, which attracted her expression, even the Wu family and Meng Qingquan were no exception.
Princess Suzaku took out a red jade carving from the box, Suzaku, and asked Meng Qingquan, "This is what the girl asked someone to return?"
Meng Qingquan's eyes touched the jade carving in her hand, and for a moment she was ignorant, a little confused, and then she was shocked, and replied respectfully: "No." The younger generation doesn't recognize this thing. Lowering his eyes, he seemed to hide something.
Lu Junru stood beside the princess and couldn't help asking, "You really don't recognize it?"
Meng Qingquan replied: "I really don't recognize it." "Still didn't lift his eyes.
Lu Junru said: "Didn't you save your cousin? didn't your cousin give you the Suzaku, why don't you recognize it?"
Meng Qingquan raised his eyes and said with a smile: "The girl misunderstood, I didn't save the son." He explained to Princess Suzaku again: "The younger generation has already explained it to the prince. I also told the princess just now that it was a misunderstanding. β
Princess Suzaku nodded and said, "I've heard Yin'er say this, so we haven't told anyone. Today, I will tell you about the concubine's birthday. It's good that you don't want to repay your kindness, but you don't need to hide it. β
Her smile was a little faint: Since she has repeatedly denied it, why did she send Suzaku here again? Isn't it just to remind the palace, don't forget this kindness! Contacting the rumors outside, she can't help but suspect that this is the Meng family forcing the palace to make a decision.
Meng Qingquan said: "The princess really misunderstood!" said and lowered his head, seemingly embarrassed.
The princess didn't want to say any more, so as not to puncture her intentions and make her faceless, and was about to put away the Suzaku when she heard Lu Junru say, "Auntie, wait." This has to be clarified. β
The princess said, "Find out what?"
Lu Junru asked Meng Qingquan solemnly: "Miss Meng, you really didn't save the world?"
Meng Qingquan said: "There really isn't. β
Lu Junru said to the princess at this time: "Auntie, I don't think this is an unsightly thing, Miss Meng has no need to hide it." Since she said that she didn't save her cousin, let's find out: who saved my cousin? Who returned this Suzaku? If she mistakes her life-saving benefactor, isn't it a joke!"
Princess Suzaku looked solemn, could her son be mistaken? She looked at Meng Qingquan and asked solemnly, "Girl, please tell the truth, it's really not you?"
