Chapter 232: Liao Meng's Fate
A smile appeared on Xuan Li's face, but this smile was not half happy in the eyes of everyone now, on the contrary, it seemed to restrain the anger and anxiety in his heart, and showed a little distortion.
Among the emperor's sons, Xuanli is undoubtedly the most calm, and in the eyes of everyone, he is almost a gentle and elegant old man, who does things without leakage, such a calm person can always give people a lot of convincing sense of security, and those who defected to Xuanli naturally valued this point. It's just that I don't know when Lu Dao started, Xuanli has changed unconsciously, and the joy and anger seem to be in the past, and the people who follow Xuanli can sometimes even feel the irrepressible anxiety in Xuanli's heart, which is not a good thing for a person who is planning big things.
What the staff can see, Xuanli himself doesn't know, once upon a time, he was full of disdain for Xuanhua's recklessness and impulsiveness, but now it is his turn. When did it start, Xuanli no longer knows the way. He only knew that his great cause of winning the heir had been smooth a long time ago, but today, it is actually difficult. It seems that every step he takes can be calculated by the other party, the more anxious he is, the more leisurely the other party is, unable to solve it quickly, and now at the critical moment, the anxiety in his heart is becoming more and more unbridled, which is definitely not a good sign, maybe it is the compromise that the other party wants him to make. Hold on, Xuan Li told himself over and over again in his heart that the Yao family defected to Xuanpei because someone told Yao Niannian that his death was related to the people of Southern Xinjiang, but the people of Southern Xinjiang were related to him, and the Yao family did not have the courage to confront him head-on, so they threw themselves under the name of Xuanpei and used the name of Xuanpei to trip him here.
As long as he thinks of this, Xuan Xuan is depressed indescribably. This matter has nothing to do with him, he just wants to use a borrowed knife to kill people, he just needs to watch from afar, and when he reaches the end, he will sit back and enjoy the results, and he will not put himself in a risky situation. But he didn't expect the southern Xinjiang people to miss, and instead of catching a good one, he also lost himself. Jinying Palace, Xuan Li couldn't help but grit his teeth, he already knew who released the news, but he didn't expect this method Xiao Shao to come out, maybe it was not from Xiao Shao's hand, but that woman.
Xuanli took a hard breath, Nanjiang sent a secret letter to him to help, but now he can't take any risks, the people of Nanjiang don't know that the Yao family already hates him, if he is caught rashly at this time, wouldn't he send the handle to the Yao family, and the Yao family will definitely take advantage of this time to make a big fuss. Now it's better not to act rashly and to be on the safe side.
Seeing that Xuanli had not given the order for rescue, the guard who delivered the letter asked hesitantly, "Your Highness, ...... over there." β
"Don't care!" Xuanli said coldly, even if it is an alliance, he will never risk his life to save those people at this time, besides, the people of Southern Xinjiang have caused such a big basket without knowing the severity of it, and let him lose a Yao family, this anger must be vented, since the people of Southern Xinjiang are so capable, this matter will be solved by themselves!
β¦β¦
In King Jinying's mansion, Jiang Ruan took a sip of the sugar water boiled in the pickled yellow skin sauce and said, "Xuanli didn't do anything. β
Xiao Shao sat on the side, said "En", and continued to look at the booklet in front of him without raising his head. He didn't care like this, but Tianzhu on the side couldn't help but ask: "How does the young lady know that he won't make a move?" Since they are allies, they must help each other. β
"Allies are true, but in Xuanli's eyes, there is no word for allies." Jiang Ruan smiled: "It's just that we have come together temporarily because of common interests." And the people of southern Xinjiang messed things up this time, and for Xuan Li, it was just a useless chess piece. No matter how much he needs useless chess pieces, he still has anger to vent. What's more, Xuan Li's suspicious nature must think that we have set up some kind of game in it, and whoever wants to be safe will definitely not make a move at this time, so as not to put himself on it. β
"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiao Shao raised his head, thought slightly, looked at Jiang Ruan and asked seriously, "Isn't there a layout?" β
Jiang Ruan was dumbfounded, the bureau was naturally to be deployed, and this bureau was set up for people from southern Xinjiang, but Xiao Shao's usual style was like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and he refused to let go of any of them. As for that Xuanli, there are naturally arrangements to ensure that nothing goes wrong, what if Xuanli suddenly remembers his allies?
"But young lady, what else do you need to do now?" Tianzhu frowned and said, "Our men and horses have also made a move, but we can't find where the people from southern Xinjiang are." It's really hidden deeply, and I'm afraid there is already someone in Beijing who responds. β
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Since I have been able to deal with your master for so many years, I am naturally not an idle person. But that's too far to tell you. Just like this, they will definitely make the first move, as for the first move, on the surface, they have seized the opportunity, but in fact, the rhythm is already out of order. Do we have other things to do right now? β
After the Yao family's affairs passed, Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao did not take any other actions, although Xiao Shao's deployment was precise, but the opponent was also very cunning and did not show up, so Tianzhu couldn't help but feel a little bored all day long, and when he heard Jiang Ruan say this at this moment, he immediately became excited: "Young lady, what other tasks do you have?" β
"Even the master behind it has been caught, and the young general can't let it go." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "The person who bullied me has no reason to just forget it." β
"The young lady wants to ......." Tianzhu looked at her suspiciously and said, "Then Miss Liao's ......." β
"Treat others the way they do," Jiang Ruan said lightly: "Originally, it was nothing to be the master, but if you want to use the means that are not on the table to my people, let her taste this taste herself." β
Tianzhu nodded thoughtfully, Xiao Shao raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan looked at it, and immediately asked, "What?" β
"It's nothing," Xiao Shao continued to look down at the booklet in front of him casually, and said with a faint admiration: "Madame is so strategic." β
Jiang Ruan: "......"
β¦β¦γ
In the courtyard of the capital house, there are two people sitting in the house, one of them is doing embroidery work in front of the door, and the other young woman is looking down at the scroll in front of her, but her eyes are a little wandering. Mother Zhou was doing embroidery, and she couldn't help but sigh and said, "The second young master hasn't been here for a long time, and I don't know if something happened to Lu Dao." β
Liao Meng followed Zhou's mother's gaze and glanced out the window, it was true that there was no shadow of that person, these days Jin Er didn't know why Lu Dao almost didn't set foot here anymore, and he looked for someone to quietly pass on the message in private, but he didn't receive an answer. Liao Meng said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, since the second young master is doing things for the prince, maybe there are important things to do these days, and it is common for you to be busy and can't get out." It will come in a few days. Although she was comforting Zhou's mother, she was more like convincing herself. As Jinji didn't come for a long time, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what was going on, could it be that the maid used some means to entangle Jinji? Jin Er didn't come, and the person over there didn't come for a long time, Liao Meng thought uncertainly, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Who is that person Liao Meng doesn't know Lu Dao, but he only knows that after his parents died, life was difficult, and a mysterious person wrote a letter to show her a clear way. This clear path is Jiner, which is certainly a good thing for Liao Meng, and he followed the man's advice almost without hesitation. The man didn't say anything, only said that he had the heart to help, and he didn't need Liao Meng to pay any price, as long as Liao Meng took Jiner in his hands and let that little girl get out.
Later, everything went smoothly beyond Liao Meng's original expectations, but the mysterious man never appeared again. Liao Meng also thought about whether that person had any other purpose, but Jiner was indeed a way out for her that she didn't want to let go. Liao Meng is just a woman, she doesn't have so much foresight, she can only instinctively grasp what she wants most in front of her.
Zhou's mother Xu heard the uncertain tone in Liao Meng's mouth, and immediately sighed, when Liao Meng used his innocence in exchange for Jiner's dead heart, Zhou's mother felt very inappropriate. Once this begins, it is doomed that there will be no way back. Moreover, it is always unseemly to use this method. Only those aunts in the house who want to climb the old man's wall will use such means. And her own lady is also a girl who was raised seriously, and she even came up with this method, Zhou's mother was very shocked on the one hand, but on the other hand, she felt sad about Liao Meng's situation.
Both of them were thinking about their own affairs, but they heard a bustling sound outside the door, and there seemed to be pushing, scolding, and shouting, Zhou's mother and Liao Meng looked at each other, Zhou's mother got up and said: "I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, the old slave went out to take a look." β
"I'll take a look, too." Liao Meng followed and said. This mansion is also hidden in the capital, and Jinji also greeted others to take care of them, so even if the two female dependents live here, no one dares to come and harass them on weekdays. Hearing that there was a commotion outside, Liao Meng's first thought was that Dew Drop came to the door to make trouble, so he was ready to go forward to take a look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Fang walked to the door, he heard the man's voice: "Liao Meng, Liao Meng, you come out for me!" β
Liao Meng was startled, and then walked out of the hall angrily, unable to hide his anger: "Who is making noise here?" She has almost become a celebrity in the capital now, everyone sympathizes with her poor background and is bullied by a maid, as long as she frowns, someone will naturally stand up for her. It is almost an innate instinct for people to sympathize with the weak.
"Meng'er, I've finally found you!" The people at the door seemed to see her, and as soon as they saw her come out, they couldn't wait to speak. Liao Meng frowned, Mother Zhou had already strode in front of her, and scolded: "Where did Lai Pizi come from, he actually tarnished the innocence of my girl, who are you?" β
It was a middle-aged man, about thirty years old, black and thin, who seemed to be from the countryside, and had a bit of a bandit's ruffian, and at first glance he knew that he was not a good person. The man also said: "Mother Zhou, you are really forgetful, I am Dingxi Chen Xi, when there was an accident in your house, I also sent things to you, but Meng'er came to ask me for help from time to time, why, now that I have climbed a high branch in the capital, I turned my face and didn't recognize people?" β
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the crowd, what, listening to this man's tone, it seemed that he had no personal relationship with Liao Meng. The man called so intimately, I heard that Liao Meng was also from Dingxi, could it be that there was something different between the two of them. It is true that people sympathize with the weak, but the people are more interested in the new wonders of the people, and when they learn that this lady who seems to be weak and knowledgeable about etiquette may have some unknown stories, they are excited.
Liao Meng's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted. When she came out, she didn't see what the person looked like, but when she saw the person, her soul flew away. At the beginning in Dingxi, her parents died, she guarded the family wealth, those jackal relatives were eyeing her, and her uncle wanted to marry her out of Lu early, so as to swallow a huge fortune of their family. This Chen Xi is a tyrant in Dingxi, a ruffian-like character on the street, who bullies men and women on weekdays, and values Liao Meng's beauty even more, and Liao Meng's uncle does business and has some friendship with Chen Xi, so he wants to marry Liao Meng to Chen Xi.
Liao Meng, a person with such an arrogant temperament, looked at Chen Xi, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, so he could only be humble to Chen Xi at the beginning, pretending to be very well-behaved, so that Chen Xi and his uncle could rest assured. With the help of the mysterious man, he escaped, thinking that he had finally escaped from those sordid lives. But she didn't expect Chen Xi's appearance today, like a basin of cold water poured directly on her head, almost making her shiver all over.
Liao Meng hasn't reacted yet, and Chen Xi has already begun to tell the people who are watching the excitement, only saying how he was in love with Liao Meng at the beginning, and he also got the approval of the elders, and he saw that he was about to get married, but Liao Meng escaped the day before he didn't want to get married, and he easily waded through mountains and rivers to find it, but he heard that the matter of Liao Meng and Jiner was spreading in the capital. He was heartbroken and angry, so he came to the door to ask for an explanation.
Chen Xi is also a wonderful person, he was born in the market, and he has been in the market for so many years, he can also be described as a flamboyant tongue, and his spittle is the same as telling a story, and then he makes a very affectionate appearance, which also attracts the attention of most people, and when he looks at Liao Meng again, his gaze has changed. It's like looking at an unchaste woman who just wants to climb up and abandon her fiancΓ©.
Liao Meng was so angry that she was about to faint, but she was a lady in everyone's minds, so it was naturally impossible for her to scold Chen Xi on the street, but to explain in a soft voice, where could she compare with Chen Xi's clever tongue, and she would definitely not be able to get the slightest benefit. Mother Zhou was furious, and stepped forward to scold Chen Xi: "Chen Xi, you don't talk nonsense, where did the young lady marry you in the first place, it was simply your wishful thinking!" Don't pee on yourself, where can someone like you touch? β
Zhou's mother was angry with Liao Meng, but what she said was inappropriate, saying that Chen Xi was not worthy of Liao Meng, so it seemed to reflect what Chen Xi said from the side, Liao Meng is a greedy and vain woman. Liao Meng had already realized it, but Zhou's mother didn't realize it, and she scolded herself. Liao Meng had no choice but to take a step forward by himself and said, "Chen Xi, you are too much, there is no injustice and no hatred, why do you want to smear my innocence?" β
This didn't seem to be false, and everyone's eyes were puzzled again. But Chen Xi was unhurried, as if he still had infinite sincere feelings for her: "Meng'er, no matter what you do to me, I only have you in my heart, how can you erase our past, when you were in your most difficult days, I supported you together, how can you, how can you forget all those things!" β
Fighting with someone like Chen Xi categorically can't get benefits, Liao Meng can only bite to death now and has nothing to do with Chen Xi, so he said with a cold face: "Don't talk nonsense, you and I only have the friendship of fellow villagers, where did these statements come from?" β
"Dreams!" Chen Xi seemed to be heartbroken by her words, his eyes turned red, he stepped forward, and said in an infinitely sad tone: "How can you say that? You, you even gave me your body, how can you say that you only have the meaning of a fellow countryman? That is to say, you have changed your mind now, and what you love is the second young master of the Huang family, but have you ever thought that the second young master is not innocent when he sees your body, and what will he do to you in the future? How can you be so naΓ―ve! β
As soon as Chen Xi finished speaking, there was a commotion around him, and there was more meaning in Chen Xi's words, so Liao Meng looked at an innocent girl, and she was no longer innocent? Tsk, that's really unrecognizable.
Zhou's mother was already angry, and a series of insults had already been scolded. Liao Meng looked at Chen Xi in a daze, suddenly came back to her senses, and looked at the eyes of the people around her, she had a feeling of being stripped naked and thrown on the street, but now she can't retreat, as long as she retreats, it is to admit defeat! Admitting defeat, she lost everything, never for the sake of losing! Liao Meng gritted his teeth, looked at Chen Xi and suddenly said: "Chen Xi, you must pay attention to evidence in doing things, if you dare to tarnish my reputation, you must come up with evidence, otherwise, I will sue the official and punish you!" β
When Chen Xi heard this, he showed a strange smile at Liao Meng, and that smile had an indescribable meaning in Liao Meng's eyes, as if he had finally waited for this sentence. No, Liao Meng calmed herself, her body was handed over to Jiner, where did Chen Xi have such the ability to refer to the deer as a horse, nothing would happen.
Who knew that Chen Xi suddenly said loudly: "Meng'er, I didn't want to say this, but now you treat me like an enemy, which is unbearable for any man." Meng'er, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. As he spoke, he took out a white handkerchief from his baggage, but there were still dots of red blood on the handkerchief, and everyone was startled at first, and then they understood what it was. There were also young women in the crowd, so don't look around. Chen Xi said loudly: "This is the Yuanpa when you had a round room with me that night!" β
Zhou's mother was so dark that she fainted. Liao Meng forcibly suppressed the surging anger in his heart. When the street raised Yuan Pa, this is something that everyone can think of, but Chen Xi is a ruffian, a ruffian who doesn't want to be faceless at all, and it couldn't be more natural for him to do it. Chen Xi didn't finish his words, and unfolded the handkerchief to make everyone open it more clearly, only to see a little red mark, the embroidered flowers on the handkerchief were very clear, and there was a word "dream" in the lower left corner. Chen Xi continued: "Meng'er, this handkerchief was given to me by you at the beginning, and I have always been reluctant to throw away ...... your personal handkerchief. β
Chen Xi played the affectionate man who was angry and betrayed to the fullest, but as soon as these words came out, Liao Meng was struck by lightning and almost fainted.
That night...... That night when she was confused with Jinji, she lit the incense given to her by the mysterious person, put it together with the pot of orchids, stunned Jinji, and tied up the man at the cost of her innocence. After that night, her personal handkerchief was gone, thinking that there must be a falling red on it that was taken away by Jinji, so she didn't ask much. But now it appeared in Chen Xi's hands, Liao Meng's mind was muddy, but a ridiculous thought came out of his mind irrepressibly, that thought was terrifying......
Chen Xi said: "Meng'er, you are with me, and I know everything about you." I also know that you have a small red mole on your back, Meng'er, if you want to ask me what evidence I present, do you dare to let someone else examine your arm? Let's see if the Shoumiya sand there is still there. β
Shougong Sha is naturally gone, and letting people check it is nothing more than checking that she is not innocent, but Liao Meng is not thinking about this. If it was Chen Xi's Yuanpa, she had already faintly thought of a thought in her heart, but now the red mole behind it almost confirmed the terrible conjecture in her heart.
That night, it was not Jin Er who was confused with her all night, it was Chen Xi. It was Luan Feng, who Chen Xi and her reversed all night, took away her Yuanpa, and finally learned about the red mole behind her. How did Chen Xi get in, why Jiner didn't get hit, Liao Meng couldn't think of it anymore. It seemed that in an instant, she lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground limply, her eyes becoming dazed for a moment.
took everything, came to the capital from Dingxi thousands of miles away, betrayed his innocence, but unexpectedly, it was given to Chen Xi, everything seemed to return to the original place, she clearly knew that there was one thing, she was finished.
"So Meng'er, come back with me." Chen Xi immediately changed into an affectionate look: "I don't care about anything, even if you are now in love with the second young master of the Huang family, as long as you go back with me, we will still live a good life." Isn't it good? You are like this, when the second young master knows the truth, won't he be very angry, no man can tolerate his wife not being innocent. Meng'er, are you still obsessed? β
"That's right." A man's voice came from behind the crowd, Liao Meng followed the sound and looked over, Jinji was standing not far away, the face that always smiled cynically and made her a little excited There was no usual smile at the moment, only strange cruelty.
"What ...... for?" She muttered.
