Chapter 416: Behind Closed Doors

Zhou Juren comforted Meng Yan: "It's okay, I and a few friends will think of a way, and there is no need to worry." ”

Meng Yan was still a little gloomy, thought about it and thought, and still said: "Or the second sister is about to give birth in more than two months, and the second brother-in-law may come back at that time...... By that time I can ......"

"When the time comes, a few of our friends have discussed it, and we can jointly go to Dali Temple to petition. Zhou Juren interrupted Meng Yan's words, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, even if my father-in-law agrees, I can't do anything for a while, after all, there is no evidence, and it is not so easy to turn over the case judged by the government, and there must be full ironclad evidence." ”

At this time, Zhou Juren was not as eager as he was at the beginning.

At the beginning, when he heard that Cheng Boyu was involved in such an answer, the family might be beheaded all over the house, and he was naturally anxious, plus Guo Huan and others kept telling him that Cheng Boyu was wronged, and he also believed that with Cheng Boyu's personality, he would not be able to do such a thing as greedy ink and silver berm silver guide zhì Li Min people suffered such a catastrophe, at most it was affected by his family.

At that time, he thought that if a weighty figure could come out and say a few words, not to mention that he could immediately wash away his grievances, he could at least be sentenced to a lighter sentence, similar to a similar one, although this matter was difficult for him, but if he didn't do anything, he wouldn't be able to pass his own level.

So I knew that I was reluctant, but I still hinted at Meng Yan, hoping to meet with Prince Ding, express the grievances of the Cheng family, and do my best.

This was what he thought at the time, but now that he has calmed down for a while, and a little dispute with Guo Huan today, his mind has changed a little. This case is not simple, he knows it, Guo Huan's concealment of a certain aspect is dissatisfied. Since you have reservations about him, you obviously don't believe him. But he asked him to do his best to help, it was too difficult for a strong man, and even he didn't know where the Cheng family's grievances were, so why should he persuade others to believe that the Cheng family was wronged?

What's more, this is not his business alone, this matter involves the Zhou family and the Meng family, the relationship between their families is complicated, he doesn't care alone, but he can't ask his family to pay for his righteousness, he still knows this. Now it's to see if there's really a big grievance.

If you clearly know that there is a grievance, but you are indifferent, it is not a gentleman's doing.

This Mengyan husband and wife have a heart-to-heart.

Over there, Mengye and his wife are not so harmonious.

On weekdays, Mrs. Meng may hide some small things for her daughter, but today this is not a trivial matter.

In a major case involving the attention of the imperial court, his daughter is young and naΓ―ve, and his son-in-law is also young, so he is afraid that the two of them will be used. She is a lady of the house, she can be cautious, and she can use small means, but I am afraid that such a big case is not something that she can judge as a woman.

I can only discuss it with Meng Ye.

When Meng Ye heard it, he felt that the problem was very strict.

How many people were implicated in that riverbank corruption case? He didn't want to be implicated, so he wanted to talk to his son-in-law. He was stopped by Madame Meng.

Mrs. Monte said that she did not understand anything now. I don't know who is instigating it behind it, so I'll wait and see. So as not to make the daughter and son-in-law unhappy in a hurry, and I don't know what the problem is.

Meng is also right to think about it, but he strictly ordered Mrs. Meng to pay attention to her son-in-law's movements, and never cause anything to affect the whole family.

……

Dingwang's mansion

Su Yiqing stood by the window and looked into the distance.

Sometimes standing tall and looking far away is easy to make people feel open, but sometimes it is not, and it is too cold to be high, especially when she needs people's attention the most.

I used to try to find something to do to relieve my loneliness, but now my body is getting heavier and heavier, and I don't want to use my brain anymore, plus the house is cleaned up, so there's nothing to care about a little.

However, Lu Teng saw that she was sullen and said, "Princess, do you want to write a letter to the prince?"

"Write a letter...... Su Yiqing was stunned for a moment.

Even Yufeng told her when he left Yancheng that since many things were caused by letters, he would not write to her if he had nothing to do, so as not to give people the opportunity to make a fuss on the letter, and if there was no news, he would be safe.

But it didn't seem to say that she couldn't write to him.

Well, she'll just write about it.

Su Yiqing reads a lot and has a lot of knowledge, but she is not good at writing poetry, and naturally she will not write letters like ordinary talented and beautiful women.

In fact, when she picked up the pen, she remembered that she never seemed to have written a letter, and in the past, in Yuanping Bofu, the girls would have some so-called close friends in the boudoir, and they often exchanged letters, but she did not make such a friend, and naturally no one wrote to her, and she did not write to anyone.

Later, it was too late to hide his whereabouts, and there was no letter to write.

I had the urge to write a letter, but it was not easy to really write, and Su Yiqing couldn't drop a word for a long time.

Simply like writing a diary in her previous life, she will see the trivial things of the day, what she eats when she gets up in the morning, and walks around the garden early in the afternoon, there is a Yao Huang peony that blooms particularly gorgeously, she has seen it for a long time, and likes it very much, so she ordered someone to plant a few such peonies in her yard.

I didn't know what to write at the beginning, but once I put pen to paper, I found that there were a lot of trivial things, maybe I wanted this letter paper to talk about as an adult, so I inevitably wrote more.

After she finished writing, Midori asked her if she wanted to send some more tokens or something.

Su Yiqing thought about it, shook her head, put away the letter, and locked it in a small box.

She didn't plan to send it, some words were good as long as they could be said, and they didn't necessarily have to be heard by the other party immediately, she decided to write a little bit every day, and wait for Lian Yufeng to come back, and then show it to him, which was quite interesting.

After that, for a few days, Su Yiqing wrote letters every day, without brains, and she didn't write anything complicated, that is, she wrote letters, scenes, flowers and plants, etc., in the words of her previous life, she kept a running account, and saved it after writing, and she found a pastime every day.

On this day, she was writing letters.

Green vine came to report that Old Concubine Xue had visited.

Su Yiqing was stunned for a moment, and after announcing that she would refuse to visit, a few days ago, some noble women came to the door with postes. But she ignored it, and slowly those people stopped coming.

Old Concubine Xue has always known how to be a person. If there is no major event, it will not come to the door at this time.

I just told Lu Teng to invite Old Concubine Xue in. But suddenly, she stopped again, and let the green vine dispose of it according to the previous practice, which was a polite refusal.

Green Vine took the order and left.

She knew that Old Concubine Xue still had some face for the princess, probably the princess was heavy, she was really lazy, and she didn't want to see outsiders, so she repeatedly expressed the princess's apologies.

It's just that she didn't ask Old Concubine Xue about her intentions. This is not something that a subordinate can ask, and it is easy to inquire about ordinary things, and it is okay not to know about things that are too secretive.

The relationship between the Dingwang Mansion and the Guojun Wangfu is mediocre, and the relationship between the princess and the old lady Xue is just a kind elder who married the new daughter-in-law and was excluded by everyone and said a few good words for a while, and there was no deep friendship.

When the old lady Xue left, she repeatedly told the green vine to take good care of the princess. And told some pregnant women what to pay attention to, and then left, not angry because of the closed door, at least not on the face.

……

Return to Princess Guojun.

Just came back. Without even changing her clothes, Princess Guojun came in anxiously and asked, "Old lady, what does Montessori say?"

Old Concubine Xue said lightly: "My wife's face is not big enough. I didn't see anyone, and I said I was not feeling well. It is inconvenient to meet customers. ”

"Ahh Princess Guojun was indignant.

"How can I treat people well?" Old Concubine Xue looked at Princess Guojun.

Princess Guojun was choked all of a sudden, yes. How did the old lady treat Montessori? That is, when they first met each other, the old lady said a few fair words and relieved Montessori a little, and afterwards Montessori also reciprocated, and most of the nobles did not attend the banquet, but came to attend the old lady's birthday banquet alone.

In terms of human relations, Dingwangfu does not owe Guojun Wangfu or anything, and she can't reverse black and white to put this little bit of favors upside down, saying how ungrateful Montessori is, she is not so cheeky.

Old Concubine Xue knew that this daughter-in-law was not too confused, and said quietly: "Actually, my wife had expected this result before going on this trip, but if she didn't take a trip, I was afraid that you would not give up, according to me, you Lewen has been given a marriage to the son of the Meng family, and the two families are about to become in-laws, why is it better to go directly to the Meng family?"

"Old lady, the Montessori man...... And Meng Ye. Princess Guojun thought for a long time before she said, "Meng Ye is only afraid that it will not be enough, those scholars are young and vigorous, they are pedantic people, I am afraid...... Meng is also a martial artist, and he can't control them. ”

"Could it be that a woman who is about to give birth in Montessori can manage these scholars?" Old Concubine Xue's tone was a little heavy, "You, everything is good, but you are too good-looking and refuse to bow your head, but now that the matter is urgent, if you don't bow your head early, it will really make trouble to that point, I'm afraid it will be difficult to bow your head." ”

"The old lady has learned a lesson. "Princess Guojun is at a loss, and she doesn't dare to defend too much.

"Anyway, even if it's a family member, it's not so easy to say that asking someone to do something, I haven't seen Meng Ye, but I've heard some things, and his husband is also a shrewd person, I'm afraid that I won't help. Old Concubine Xue thought about it carefully, frowned slightly, and looked at Princess Guojun, "I have an idea, if you think it's okay, just try it." ”

"The old lady's idea must be good. Princess Guojun was suddenly overjoyed, and looked at Old Concubine Xue with hope.

Old Concubine Xue said: "How many girls in the Meng family are still unmarried? You know?"

"It seems like that's the case. "Princess Guojun doesn't know why Old Concubine Xue mentioned this, those girls are all from Mengye's eldest son, the one who was rumored to have sued his father some time ago, and this matter is also seen as a joke in the inner house, but in the mansion of a wealthy family, there are many such things, and everyone is not surprised.

Old Concubine Xue said slowly: "Generally speaking, if you want someone to help, marriage is the best way. ”

"But Lewen has already given marriage to their family!" Princess Guojun didn't understand what Old Concubine Xue meant, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly waved her hand, "The prince can't marry such a country girl as a side room." ”

"What do you think, you are willing to be refused, besides, isn't this a mess of seniority?" Old Concubine Xue glared at Princess Guojun dissatisfiedly.

"yes! Princess Guojun's face suddenly sneered, she was a little dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law some time ago, and she always wanted to find a side room with a gentle temper and pure temperament for her son, and it was easy to think in that direction for a while, but her daughter was about to marry the son of the Meng family, but her son wanted the granddaughter of the Meng family to be the side room, as the old lady Xue said, it was impossible to mess up the generations.

Seeing Princess Guojun's anxious and confused expression, Old Concubine Xue suddenly didn't want to beat around the bush, and said directly: "Doesn't your daughter-in-law have a few brothers? ”

"This ...... I'm just afraid of ......" Princess Guojun hesitated, as far as she knew, the daughter-in-law's brothers were very good, for a while, when Lewen was afraid of being kissed, she also considered whether to kiss and kiss, and now she wants someone to marry a country girl who is not worthy of being a maid in Guojun Wangfu, how can people be willing?

"Are you afraid that your in-laws will refuse?" Old Concubine Xue sneered, "The matter was caused by their family, and it affected our family, is it possible that our family should carry it alone?" I'll tell you that directly, what I inquired about, the Meng family has been in a hurry to find decent people for those girls recently, just to block the mouths of the people, not to hope that the girls can fly on the branches, now is the opportunity, if you miss it, that incident is over, even if you are willing to marry, people may not agree to help, after all, it is not Mrs. Meng's biological daughter, and Meng will not do anything harmful to the interests of her emotionally unemotional granddaughter. ”

"Okay, the daughter-in-law will discuss with the princess. Princess Guojun felt that what Old Concubine Xue said made sense, and now there was only this way.

"What kind of discussion? tell her directly, if you don't agree, let the princess and the princess separate, each take care of themselves, don't tie together, it's not so conspicuous. Old Concubine Xue said sharply.

For the first time, Princess Guojun saw that Old Concubine Xue was so angry, and she didn't dare to say anything more, so she could only respond repeatedly.

After that, Old Concubine Xue instructed Mother You to send Princess Guojun out.

After coming back, Mother You hugged the old lady Xue and said: "The county prince's mansion is really, the old lady, you are so old, and you asked you to come forward to ask for someone, but she didn't go by herself, that is, you are old and soft-hearted, and you have to go this trip to be angry." ”

"It's not angry, it's a blessing to suffer, isn't it just that people are physically inconvenient, don't you see me, it doesn't matter. Old Concubine Xue waved her hand indifferently, "I hope that Princess Ding is really fine, she is about to give birth, everyone around her, no wonder people are cautious, how many pairs of eyes are staring outside."
