A second ★ of small △ said § net.. Wonderful novels to read for free!
Sheng Shenghe led Sheng Weiqiao to the study full of doubts, waved off his subordinates, and personally made tea for the two, but before he put down the teapot, he heard Sheng Weiqiao say urgently: "Brother, what happened in Bishui County may have been known by the Meng family and have evidence!"
"This is impossible!" Sheng Sleeping Crane heard this, without blinking his eyes, and categorically vetoed, "The Huan family was the gentleman of Bishui County before the teacher rose to the temple! After the teacher became famous, Bishui County has completely become the territory of the Huan family, and in all aspects, there is no Huan family who does not interfere! You think about the teacher is a veteran of the two dynasties, although his old man attaches great importance to the style of the family, and his younger brother is not good enough, they are not allowed to go out, only they are allowed to cultivate and study at home, but this is also equivalent to consolidating the local power of the Huan family in Bishui County!"
"It's only been twelve years since the teacher disappeared, and a generation hasn't passed, how could the Huan family not use it to let people find out their details on their territory?"
"And I personally took the lead in doing this matter, from me onwards, they are all experts in this way, and with the cooperation of the county lord Jingshu, they can find one or two flaws that can be explained, even if they are thoughtful!"
Sheng Weiqiao said slowly, "Good girl, you tell me what happened in detail, if my expectations are good, either people are just suspicious and want to cheat you, or they just fancy what benefits our family has and want to blackmail!"
Seeing that he was so calm, the panic in Sheng Weiqiao's heart calmed down a little, calmed down, and said: "Aunt Nan accompanied us into the palace today, but we were stopped at the palace gate......
So he said it as it was, and frowned at the end and said, "Are you saying that the Meng clan is deceiving us?
"If the people in power in the Meng clan are suspicious of us, what else do we need to do with you?" Sheng Sleeping Crane said disapprerovingly, glimpsing Sheng Weiqiao's face as if he was sinking, and hurriedly remedied, "I don't mean anything else!
Speaking of this, he was also a little crying and laughing, and said, "I didn't tell you these things before, because I was afraid that you would worry about it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info look, if you don't know the truth today, after listening to Miss Meng Shiyi's words, you will be very angry at most, as for being scared like this?"
"It's not all you?!" Sheng Weiqiao's mood hadn't fully stabilized, and when he heard this, he suddenly exploded, "Who told you to offend both the Meng family and the Gaomi King?!!
As soon as these words came out, seeing that Sheng Sleeping Crane's face changed instantly, he felt regretful, was silent for a while, slowed down his tone, and said in a low voice, "Okay, it's come to this, maybe I shouldn't say these words...... But you should always tell me, why are you doing this?"
In fact, she should have asked this question a long time ago, but on the night when Huan Ye came over, it was too late, and she had a quarrel with Sheng Sleeping Crane in the wing room, and then came to the study to listen for a long time, it was inevitable that she was not in good spirits, and there was Sheng Sleeping Crane's deliberate guidance, and some of the things she wanted to ask were not asked later.
“…… Meng Boheng is the one who commanded the archers to shoot your cart pullers. Sheng Sleeping Crane took a sip of tea and said lightly, "And he originally wanted the archers to shoot you directly, but he persuaded him left and right that if the matter is too big, he will be caught by King Gaomi's side, and it is not easy to clean up, so Aunt Jiaoyu will also slander in front of Zheng Guogong, which may affect Meng Shishi's entry into Wangchun Palace, making their mother and son more and more passive in Zheng Guogong's mansion." That's why I changed it to shooting horses!"
"I originally thought that he had some profound considerations for doing this, but after the torture after abducting him, I learned that he was just on a whim - to put it mildly, this person is the second son of Zheng Guogong, and the son of Zheng Guogong has been in the frontier all the year round, and he has never been loved by Zheng Guogong, I really can't blame Aunt Jiaoyu's instigation, and it has a lot to do with his own incompetence!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane said coldly, "I want to have such a son in the future, I would rather him die early, and the province will be an eyesore in front of me all day long!"
Sheng Weiqiao's heart was in a mess, and it was really hard to imagine that Meng Shishi, who was taciturn and loved to read, would have such a brother who didn't know the importance of people's lives - however, although Meng Shixi didn't like to talk and read books, she was not a soft-hearted person when she said to Meng Shifu before that she would do it.
In this way, Meng Boheng, as her half-brother, wants to kill someone when he is interested, it doesn't seem strange?
With a long sigh, Sheng Weiqiao became more and more determined to leave the ghost place of Chang'an as soon as possible, and asked listlessly: "What about Rong Qingdrunk? He also mixed in with the matter at the door of Danmo Tower?"
"Good girl, do you think that the county lord of Jingshu is giving me the aftermath for nothing?" Sheng Sleeping Crane looked at her, and after a while, he hooked his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, and said softly, "You also heard it that night, although the county lord Jingshu has been mediating between King Gaomi and the Meng family, and has been chased by Rong Qingzui and Meng Boheng, she doesn't plan, at least not to marry any of them— I want to clean up Meng Boheng, she is happy to see it happen, but she definitely doesn't want Rong Qingdrunk to win without a fight, therefore, Rong Qingdrunk, how can she let it go?"
His eyes were a little cold, and his originally beautiful face was dyed with a few touches of calmness, and the slightly hooked corners of his lips not only did not dilute this sense of gloom, but revealed a clear mockery.
So Sheng Weiqiao has been with him day and night for two years, not like two years ago, when he saw him not smiling, he felt afraid, but he felt guilty when he was somewhat alienated: "The reason why this person wants to deal with Meng Boheng is for me in the final analysis." Later, Rong Qing's drunkenness was also provoked by Meng Boheng...... I just said that it was all his fault, no wonder he was sad!"
So he slowed down his tone and apologized to him: "Brother, I said the wrong thing in a hurry, don't take it to heart! It's all my fault for this matter, don't be angry, okay?"
"How can I blame you for this? This was originally Meng Boheng's own death!" Where is Sheng Sleeping Crane willing to really be angry with her for such an angry remark? Besides, the reason why he was drunk with Rong Qing was definitely not as simple as being instructed by Huan Yehe, Sheng Wei Qiao's questioning was actually not unreasonable-naturally he would not take Qiao with this girl at this moment, so he immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said gently, "The reason why he left his life to return this time is to put it bluntly, it is also to see that he still has use value." Wait and see, and as soon as he is useless, I will send him on his way with my own hands!"
"I'm fine, and since that person has fallen into the hands of your brother, you must have been angry with me. Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly persuaded, "At this time, he was found by the Qin Mission, and the Meng family will definitely send someone to pick him up and return to Chang'an immediately-you also said it, Chang'an is not as good as Bishui County, and there is no local snake here who has been running for generations like the Huan family to cover up the aftermath for you, but don't show your flaws for him, it will not be good at that time!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled: "It's all up to you!"
In his heart, he didn't even think about letting Meng Boheng go—what are you kidding? At the beginning, he thought that Sheng Weiqiao and his party were just killed by the horse, so he personally went to the door overnight.
Knowing that Meng Boheng actually wanted to kill someone at first, how could he let go of this Meng Bagongzi?!
If it weren't for the mistake, the Empress Dowager Meng happened to embarrass Sheng Weiqiao with the matter of Bishui County, Sheng Sleeping Crane decided to push the boat down the river, so he temporarily left Meng Boheng's life, and he had already given this person a unique sea burial after all the torture wheels were over!
This will casually perfunctory Sheng Weiqiao, and said back to the truth, "According to your description, I'm afraid that at present, Mrs. Xiang is only suspicious of us, and it is still a suspicion without evidence." Otherwise, even if Mrs. Xiang has fallen out of favor for a long time, Meng Boheng will not be valued by Zheng Guogong, but after all, she is the lady of the country who has been awarded a good name, and she is kind to the Queen Mother, if the suspicion of our Sheng family is confirmed, she will go directly to the Yamen and take us to prison for a thorough investigation, why take the path of the Queen Mother? You must know that the Queen Mother never directly interfered in the affairs of the previous dynasty, this is clearly her own speculation, and she can't spread it out on the table!"
Sheng Weiqiao was nervous: "So what Miss Meng Shiyi told me, her brother Chongxinbo's speculation is true?"
"It's hard to say. Sheng Sleeping Crane pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "After all, when Mrs. Xiang and the Queen Mother questioned our words, you and the Eighth Sister were not present. The specific situation is all said by the four brothers and sisters of the Meng family, and it is impossible for us to confront Mrs. Xiang or the Queen Mother - in my opinion, Mrs. Xiang should indeed be suspicious of our family, but to say that she calculated that you would be a concubine for Meng Boheng......"
Speaking of this, his eyes were cold, and then he continued, "This is unlikely! Because our family has an example of a little aunt, the little aunt did not love herself back then, and after eloping with someone, although after the mediation of her father, she was still in the main room, but in order to preserve the family style, my grandfather then removed her from the family tree! Over the years, the development of the Sheng family has nothing to do with her!"
At the beginning of the year, she took her child back to Nanfeng County for help, and she left within a few days. ”
"Although I don't know if Mrs. Xiang already knows about the little aunt now, but under normal circumstances, in a family like ours, if a girl becomes a concubine, it is a shameful thing for the family. The general way to deal with it is to deny this daughter from now on - of course, good girl, you are different, whether it is my father or me, it is impossible to abandon you under any circumstances. ”
"However, we have only been in Chang'an for a few days, and Mrs. Xiang's previous energy must have been focused on finding Meng Boheng. Even if she had made up our family's mind when the news of Meng Boheng's discovery had just arrived, it would not have been possible to confirm your importance in the Sheng family so quickly. ”
"In this way, if she designs to make you a concubine, according to the common practice, the Sheng family simply denies you, then how can the so-called so-called letting you pass through the door with a large amount of dowry, and then using you as a hostage to blackmail your grandfather, father, mother, and me to do things for their mother and son?
"That Mrs. Xiang is said to be of a low background, and if she can be Mrs. Guo, she shouldn't be as brainless as her son!"
Sheng Weiqiao was right to think about it, although it seemed that King Gaomi's side was suspicious of Sheng Sleeping Crane's background, but Meng's side didn't seem to have such a notice.
In this way, in Meng's opinion, under the knees of Sheng Lanci and his wife, there is the eldest son Sheng Sleeping Crane, the concubine Sheng Weiqiao, and the one Feng is now pregnant with - according to ordinary people, even if they love their daughter, it is still very rare to say that for the sake of one daughter, regardless of the other two children, regardless of the entire big family.
Mrs. Xiang is not the age of an impulsive little girl, so there is no reason to bet on this kind of luck.
- What's more, the situation of this Mrs. Zheng Guo in the Zheng Guo Mansion also determines that she can't act too willful and freewheeling.
- After all, judging from the noisy quarrel before Meng Fifteen, the Jiaoyu aunt, who was deeply favored by Zheng Guogong, was very willing to use all means to block Mrs. Xiang.
Sheng Weiqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a haze between her eyebrows, and she muttered: "So, Mrs. Xiang is mainly suspicious of our family, and she doesn't mean to calculate me alone?" But although she has no evidence, Miss Meng Shiyi's reminder is not unreasonable: if she keeps muttering in front of the Queen Mother, I'm afraid that after a long time, there will still be trouble!"
"It's okay, let's make some trouble for her, so that she doesn't have time to stir up the wind and rain. Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled calmly, "It just so happens that Meng Shifu is also rude to you today? The Zhengguo Mansion is not monolithic, so, I will ask people to send some clues to Mrs. Xiang, just say that Meng Boheng's accident this time has something to do with Aunt Jiaoyu, so let their wives and concubines take it!"
- Dare to say that his obedient girl will promise to Chongxin Bo Meng Guiyu?!
——Not long after Meng Fifteen said this, Sheng Weiqiao really met Meng Guiyu!
- Even if Sheng Weiqiao did not fall in love with Meng Guiyu at first sight, but was full of suspicion and vigilance, but!
Sheng Sleeping Crane, who turned around, had a gloomy face: "Old! Son! Yet! Yes! No! High! Xing!
This fifteenth lady of the Meng family, named Meng Lijiang, can be regarded as remembering Sheng Sleeping Crane!!
