Chapter 176: The Heyday

Thinking that Meng Ye might have done something on the death of Xiaofu's biological mother, Mrs. Meng's scalp was numb for a while, thinking that no matter how generous Meng Xiaofu is, it is impossible to be indifferent to the death of her biological mother.

Thinking of all kinds of possibilities, Mrs. Meng looked directly at Meng Ye and said, "Master, now you must tell me the truth, does the death of Xiaofu's biological mother have anything to do with you?"

"What are you talking about, do I seem to be such a human being?" Meng Ye became angry, and raised his eyes to glare at Madame Meng.

Lady Meng was undaunted, and greeted her and glared back.

The couple stared at each other for a long time, or Meng Ye, who had been accustomed to being soft during this time, bowed his head first and sighed: "Yes, I used to be very attentive to Xiaofu's mother and daughter, but because I didn't care, I didn't want to harm her life, a cheap concubine from a singer, I really don't like to even have a name to be pulled out and sold at any time, no one said anything at all, why should I risk being found out to be asking for trouble, and dig out my mind to do such an assassination that damages yin morality? I dare to swear to God, if I did this...... No, if I knew in advance and connived, but told me to die and go to the oil pot to become a pig and a dog in the next life. ”

Seeing that Meng also made such a heavy oath, and thinking about what he said, there was some truth in it, Mrs. Meng could only believe it at this time, and after a little muttering, she came up with an idea, and beckoned the housekeeper to ≑ and ordered a few words like this.

The housekeeper took the order and left, and Mrs. Meng told Meng that since he had not done anything wrong, there was no need to worry. Panicked people can see that nothing will become okay.

Meng also went through Mrs. Meng's reassurance, and it was not a big deal to think about it, so he didn't mention it.

……

Dingwang's mansion.

Su Yiqing listened to the news that Mama Qing inquired about, and she had nothing to say for a while, she naturally knew what kind of person Meng was, and it was really not strange that she could drive out her own son's family who came to the door on the first day of the new year, and she wondered why he was sneaky, for fear that others would know.

It was Mama Qing who spoke for the Meng family and his wife on the side: "This lord and lady are not deliberately concealing, but they are afraid that this eldest son will drag the family to the door to fight the autumn wind." disturbed the princess. This eldest son's family has been in the countryside for so many years, and the people in many places in the countryside are fierce, and people have become vulgar after living in the countryside for a few years. When the family first came to the door. She thought it was a beggar from somewhere. dragged the family to beg, that group of people is really no different from beggars, and they saw food. It's like a vicious dog that sees flesh and bones, and its eyes are green......"

Qing Mama said, peeking at Su Yiqing who seemed to be a little unhappy on her face, and suddenly woke up, the princess has also lived in the countryside for many years, and she belittled the countrymen like this, presumably the princess was unhappy, and hurriedly reversed the conversation: "It's no wonder, I heard that the eldest prince is a gambler, and he used up all the silver and land that the lord gave him to settle down and start a business, and the family can almost be said to have come to Yancheng begging, and anyone who has such a relative will not publicize it everywhere, let alone his own son." ”

After Su Yiqing finished speaking, she was silent for a while, and then asked, "In that case, why did people suddenly disappear?"

Mama Qing's eyes rolled slightly, and she said: "Maybe I got some silver from the master, where did I go to the gambling stall to gamble money, where can this gambler bear the money with the money in his hand? Naturally, he wants to gamble, pity his big family...... Fortunately, my wife took care of me, otherwise I would have frozen and starved on the streets. ”

Su Yiqing didn't believe in Mama Qing's words, if it was so simple, Mrs. Meng wouldn't hide it, but the matter itself didn't have much to do with her, she was not the real daughter of the Meng family, she had no blood relationship with Meng Shen, let alone any brother and sister relationship, she didn't care about how the Meng family treated Meng Shen, or how Meng Shen was to the Meng family.

Mrs. Meng's reasons for hiding are nothing more than two according to her, one is that Meng Shen may have a good relationship with the real Meng Xiaofu at the beginning, and she is afraid that Meng Shen will give their family eye medicine in front of her, and the other is that Meng Shen knows what ugly things about the Meng family, and she is afraid that Meng Shen will talk nonsense everywhere.

Yimeng's means of doing things, if it is the latter, it is estimated that it is related to the matter of the former Mrs. Meng, if there is really any taboo, after all, it is his own son, and it is unlikely that he will send his son to the countryside to fend for himself before he marries another wife and has children.

This is all a trivial matter, the former Mrs. Meng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Meng Ye really wants to do something to destroy human nature, Meng Shen wants to burst out, she can't stop it, and she doesn't want to stop it, although this matter may have some impact on her, but after all, it is a married daughter, the impact is limited, even Yufeng will not mind what others say, the most important thing for her now is to give birth to a child safely.

After thinking about it clearly, Su Yiqing didn't pay attention to this anymore, and changed the topic and asked Mama Qing: "I heard that there are two more girls in Linglong Yuan who are leaving?"

Qing Mama said: "Yes, according to Xue Niang, they all said that they missed their relatives and wanted to be reunited, so they begged the princess for permission." ”

During this time, those beauties who thought that the princess had a body and would have a chance to take advantage of Ning Ya'er were expelled from the palace, and they extinguished the heart that wanted to seduce the prince, and felt that there was no future for continuing to stay in Linglong Garden, so it was better to take advantage of the fact that they were still young and beautiful, and find another way out as soon as possible, and the chance of choosing if they went out early was greater, and they could pick slowly, and there would be a lot less chance two years later, these beauties are not stupid, looking at the prince's thoughts about the princess, even if they can take advantage of the princess's pregnancy, what if they can be favored for a while? The princess is not a tolerant person, and when she gives birth to her sister-in-law, she will not settle accounts one by one and make them all cramped.

Those who can be sent to the princess without a name or a point have no family to rely on, so they can only plan for themselves, but they can't be stupid, a fool will be over for a lifetime, even if they are confused, some people remind them that they have broken the reasoning, and now they can get a rich reward, and the palace also promised that they will help them if there are any difficulties in the future, so as not to let them be helpless and bullied when they leave the house.

Now that we can go to each other, we can still have each other's affection, and we really have to procrastinate. is old and decrepit, the prince can't look down on it, and the princess is too lazy to take care of it, so she can only stay in the house and be raised with some rice grain.

Therefore, these days, some beauties have come to ask for resignation and want to go out.

What does Mama Qing mean, I think that the princess should delay it at this time, because although these beauties still have a delicate face like a flower, but the prince has long been disgusted, and they can be used as a faΓ§ade if they are kept, and they are all released at once. As soon as the backyard is empty, maybe a new one will come in. That man doesn't want to be fresh, and it's better to keep the old than to usher in the new.

Su Yiqing probably also understood Mama Qing's thoughts, but she didn't agree, with the power of even Yufeng, she really wanted to find it. The house is not worth it. It's not like there's more out there. It is impossible to prevent it, and those in Linglong Garden can leave by themselves, and they are all happy. Why do you have to drag others for your own selfishness, so she said: "Tell Xue Niang, all of them are approved, according to the previous examples, send them a reward of silver, and if you want to return to your hometown, you will order the guards in the house to send a ride, and if your home is in Yancheng, let people spread the word to their families, and they are not allowed to bully, abuse, resell or steal their property." ”

"Yes, Princess. Qing Mama didn't dare to refute the princess's words, she also knew that the princess had always had an idea, and after making up her mind, no one was allowed to talk too much.

After the order, Su Yiqing saw that Mama Qing was still standing still, as if she still had something to say, so she asked, "Is there anything else?"

Qing Mama hesitated for a while and said, "It's not a problem, it's just that the old slave thinks it...... I feel that so many people have left Linglong Garden recently, presumably it must be Xue Niang who instigated her behind her back. ”

"So what?" Su Yiqing was very disapproving, Xue Niang was a little soft-hearted, she really wanted to pity those women, and it was reasonable to remind them more, and she was also willing.

Qing Mama said: "Originally, it was right, but the old slave felt that Xue Niang had her own plans." ”

"It's that people should plan for themselves, this is human nature, Mama, don't you collect these few catties of fruit and those few feet of silk on weekdays for your own future?" Su Yiqing smiled slightly.

"The princess forgives her sins. Qing Mama knelt down suddenly.

Su Yiqing said lightly: "Mama doesn't have to be like this, I don't mean to blame you, I just hope Mama won't be too embarrassed for the people below, you are an old mama, and an old man in Mengfu, the low little maid occasionally respects a little worthless thing, and sometimes it seems unkind if she doesn't accept it." ”

The reason why she would mention it was just to finalize it and let Mama Qing understand that she knew these things, but she didn't bother to pay attention to it if it didn't hurt, and hoped that Mama Qing wouldn't be too greedy, so as not to make a mistake.

Qing Mama trembled at this time, thinking that there was no opportunity to make meritorious contributions recently, and if she didn't do one or two things that satisfied the princess at this time, she might be squeezed into the corner to retire, although the princess took a fancy to herself, in fact, she never let herself interfere too much in the affairs of the palace, so she trained a few little maids and went back to the Mongolian mansion to send things and so on.

But this is not as good as buying and managing the treasury in the palace at all, she has to do one or two more things, since she has spoken, she can't think about it anymore, and said directly: "Recently, Yuemian often came to find Xue Niang, and encouraged Xue Niang to leave the house, saying that she hoped that Xue Niang would go out of the house and get married." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Su Yiqing smiled and said: "It's hard for Yuemian to spend such a thing for her aunt, this Xue Niang is only in her early thirties, it's a pity to really want to live in the palace for the rest of her life, it's also a good thing to be able to get married, as the owner of the palace, I don't want the maids to become mother-in-law directly from maids without marrying for the rest of their lives." ”

But what Yuemian means is that she and her husband want to leave the palace and live alone. Qing Mama said and lowered her head, "Listening to the meaning of Yuemian, I am afraid of ...... Afraid, the old slave didn't dare to say. ”

"I am afraid that the recent instability of the court will implicate the palace. Su Yiqing added the next sentence lightly.

Mama Qing looked at Su Yiqing in surprise, and seemed to ask again, how did the princess know.

Su Yiqing smiled again: "Although I am pregnant with Liujia and have difficulty moving, it doesn't mean that I don't know anything, no matter what, wealth and danger are sought, some people don't want to take risks, they just want to live a safe life, this is everyone's choice, not the process, the matter of moon sleep, you should not know, don't blame." ”

"Yes, Princess. Qing Mama didn't dare to say more, so she retired.

……

At this time, Yuemian was just as Mama Qing said, and came to persuade Xue Niang again.

Xue Niang didn't move her heart like the previous few times, she just looked at Yuemian and said: "Yuemian, you always say that you keep letting me out of the house, except for my sake, is there any other reason?"

Yuemian's expression remained unchanged, and she said with a smile: "Look at what my aunt said, what other reason can I have?"

Xue Niang's eyes were sharp, and her tone was harsher than usual, "I heard that your family rejected the official position offered by the prince, saying that he wanted to take the imperial examination with his own efforts. ”

"Xianggong is not wrong to think so!" Yuemian said seriously, "A manly man, naturally relying on his real ability to take the imperial examination to become an official is the right way, so as not to be talked about, no matter how big the official position is, it will not be honorable." ”

"You don't have any other ideas?" Xue Niang's eyes kept staring at Yuemian's eyes.

After all, Yuemian was more than ten years younger than Xue Niang, so she couldn't hold back for a while, avoided it, and said in her mouth: "Xianggong's thoughts, I sometimes don't know what I think as a lady, and I can't interfere too much." ”

"That's fine. Xue Niang sighed, "I can see these days, your family is very good, but you are a little timid, and you can hear some rumors outside, so it is normal for you to be afraid, so you don't have to persuade me, you are filial, aunt I understand, I was born a person from the palace, and I died as a ghost of the palace, this palace has a great favor to me, and I will not leave anyway." ”

"Auntie. Yuemian's eyes were a little red, and there was some crying in her voice, "You brought me up since I was a child, I really hope to be filial to you." ”

Xue Niang sighed and said: " I brought you up, because I have no children and no daughters, take care of you should, and don't want anything, you have this heart Aunt understands, but my aunt is old, whether the wind or waves have come over, I don't want any changes, this is the case for a lifetime, you are young, and there are plans to be right, my aunt only advises you, the days outside are not so good, you must think clearly, the princess treats you well, it is difficult to meet such a good master, after going out, you have to support yourself in any wind and rain, be careful. ”

Yuemian lowered her head a little sadly, she didn't know that the princess treated her well or the maids in the house, but she was a father-in-law...... Xianggong also has some truth in what he said, Xianggong's father and uncle all gave their lives for the old prince's errand, and now there is only one seedling left in this room, and it is normal for him not to want to cut off the Liu family's incense.
