Chapter 378: Inducement
Wenxin Hou's Mansion was lively all day, but this joy and excitement still couldn't infect Xinyue Yuan for half a minute.
It's still deserted, and the courtyard that has been resting for a long time is even more depressed in the snow.
Locked in the house for more than two years, he could only occasionally go around the courtyard under the watchful eye of his rough mother-in-law, and there was no one to speak, Meng's god-like pride and pretentiousness had long been worn away by time and loneliness.
The subordinate who took care of her didn't embarrass her, but she figured it out.
She no longer yells as arrogantly as she did at first, but accepts the arrangement with a soft heart, because only then can she live a better life.
And in the endless loneliness and emptiness, she regained her relationship with An Shiyan.
That incomparably beautiful and incomparably innocent love in memory.
Although it is no longer as hot and fierce as it used to be, she wants to renew her old friendship with her husband, and she wants to be an upright Mrs. An Wu again.
The lively sound of firecrackers came from afar, dispelling a trace of chill in the cold winter, Meng listened attentively, but he couldn't think of any happy events in the Hou Mansion at this time.
Could it be that there is a full moon with a child?
Or is there a girl who is engaged to marry?
Or which nephew is marrying the bride?
She was very puzzled, when the mother-in-law who delivered the meal brought over the meal that was several times richer than before, she couldn't help but ask: "What is the happy event in the house, why does the firecrackers keep ringing?" ”
Hearing this, the rough mother-in-law who delivered the meal pursed her lips angrily, and replied politely: "Today is Miss Six's birthday." ”
After that, he snorted coldly in his heart, a madman is a madman, and he doesn't even remember his daughter's birthday.
In the past two years, An Ruolan has sent many things to Xinyue Garden, all of which are medicinal materials that nourish the body, and she will also come to visit Meng from time to time. It can be said that she is benevolent and righteous, but Meng still hates her to the bone, thinking that she has let herself fall into such a miserable field.
It is that every time I hear someone mention An Ruolan, Meng will control her feelings.
Hearing the mother-in-law's words, Meng Shi sneered and said, "It's just a birthday, and it's so lively." It seems that Lan'er is getting more and more beautiful. The girl who has been crowned the county lord is different. ”
The sourness in and out of the words can be heard by a fool.
The mother-in-law couldn't help but sink her face and sneered: "Fifth lady." You're really busy, you can't remember the days, don't you even remember the age of Miss Six? Today is the day of Miss Six's wedding, and the house will hold a ceremony for Miss Six. Naturally, it was lively, and many nobles came to the house to congratulate and drink happy wine. Even the Queen Mother ordered to reward the sixth lady with a gift, but unfortunately the fifth lady couldn't see it. ”
A thick mockery came to his face, and Meng Shi's face distorted in anger.
Meng didn't know that An Ruolan's reputation in the mansion was not as bad as it used to be. She will not deliberately win over people, but whenever there is anything good, she will not forget the people around her. In addition, she is polite and polite to anyone, and she is cheerful and kind. The whole Yihou Mansion likes to defend her, so naturally no one can tolerate anyone saying anything bad about her.
Trying to calm down, Meng Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Without my permission, how can Lan'er get engaged?!" If she is not engaged, how can she be in time?! Don't think that because I'm locked up in this courtyard, I don't know anything! I'm not crazy! ”
She said that she was not crazy, but what she said made the mother-in-law who delivered the meal feel that her madness was getting stricter and stricter.
With two, the mother-in-law said: "Fifth lady, the sixth lady was engaged before, but I also sent you a happy egg, don't you remember?" Wouldn't your illness be more severe? ”
Meng's pride and complacency have been smoothed out, but there is still a forbidden area in her heart that cannot be violated, that is, An Ruolan and her "illness".
Hearing this, she instantly became excited and yelled, "I'm not sick!" How can she get engaged without my permission, I don't agree, I don't agree! ”
The mother-in-law who delivered the meal just snorted coldly twice and said, "I don't even remember Miss Six's birthday and age, what qualifications do you have to interfere in Miss Six's marriage, but if you pay more attention to your children's affairs, you will not fall to this point." ”
After saying that, he turned around and went out, slamming the door shut.
"You, stop me!" Even though Meng Shi was hoarse, no one paid attention to her.
At the end, she sobbed and said intermittently: "One day you will regret that you have done this to me...... I am still the fifth lady of the Hou Mansion...... Woohoo......"
It wasn't until she had no strength to cry that she stopped, sobbed and began to enjoy the food that had been delivered.
After a full meal, Meng gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, washed his hands in front of the basin shelf, and then sat on the side of the soft couch casually, leaned on the pillow and turned up half of the poems, and the slightly upturned orchid fingers looked delicate and reserved.
No one flattered and praised, she learned to be lonely and self-appreciative, even if it was a person's, she had to maintain an elegant and noble posture.
She spent the whole afternoon reading a book, and near evening, Meng got up and went to the dresser to paint herself an elegant and gentle makeup, and her long hair was coiled into a bun, and her favorite magnolia hairpin was put on it.
This is a habit she developed after recognizing the facts, she thinks that one day her husband will come to see her, and she must let him see the best of her, so that he can change his mind.
There is no maid to serve and dress up, the simplest makeup, Meng also spent half an hour, and she comforted herself in her heart, this is only temporary, and she will be the same as before, being hugged by the maid in front of her.
Dressed up, sat at the table outside and waited for the next person to bring dinner, but left and right, the moon was raised, and I couldn't wait for anyone to come, confused and irritable, the door was pushed open with a creak, and a slightly familiar strange figure appeared outside the door.
With a slender and delicate posture and a proud momentum, because there was no light and his back to the moonlight, Meng Shi couldn't see the appearance of the person who came, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Hearing this, the delicate red lips of the visitor curled slightly, and a crisp voice that Meng Shi was familiar with couldn't be more familiar slowly flowed out from between his lips.
"Mother, it's me."
Meng Shi's eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "Xian'er?!" ”
"It's me." Someone stepped into the door, and the face illuminated by the silver moonlight was not An Ruoxian, who was it?
"Xian'er!" Meng Shi immediately cheered, stepped forward and hugged her, crying with joy: "You are back." You're finally back, Mother misses you so much! ”
In the past two years, in addition to An Shiyan, the most Meng Shi thought about was to apologize for her, her favorite concubine.
Because she needs someone who is wholeheartedly for her, to intercede for her, to run for her. Let her get out of this cage as much as she can.
An Ruoxian evoked a sneer where Meng couldn't see. Then he sobbed and hugged her back, sobbing, "I finally see you again, mother." Xian'er misses you so much, woo woo......"
The mother and daughter had different thoughts, hugging their heads and crying.
After crying for a while, An Ruoxian stopped crying first. wiped away his tears and pushed away the Meng Shi who was hugging him slightly. Said: "Mother, now is not the time to feel nostalgic, I have come to tell you something important, and I have already thought of a way to save you." Listen to me patiently. ”
Meng Shi wiped away her tears suddenly, grabbed her wrist, and asked excitedly, "Do you really have a way?!" ”
An Ruoxian was taken aback by her frantic movements. But he quickly calmed down and nodded, "Mother rest assured." As long as you do what I say, I can help you out. This time it's because Sister Lan held a ceremony, and the guards were all transferred to the front to help, so I was able to sneak in, there is not much time, I will make a long story short, mother, you just need to ......"
She briefly told Meng Shi about her plan, but before she could finish speaking, Meng Shi shook his head again and again: "No, you let me please Lan'er, I can't do it, I am the one who raised her, she already owes me, how can I still bow to her?" ”
Then he held An Ruoxian's hand again, and said angrily: "Our mother and daughter have suffered so much because of her, I must not bow to her, don't worry, when I get out of here, I will try my best to expose her identity and let the world know how ungrateful she is!" I will definitely let you be the daughter of the fifth room! ”
Hearing this, An Ruoxian couldn't say anything about her full stomach, her eyes were slightly cold, she pretended to be grateful: "Xian'er knows her mother's love for Xian'er, Xian'er is very grateful to her mother, but mother, now the only one who can let you out is Sister Lan, whether it is grandmother, or aunt, or father and brother, they all listen to Sister Lan's words, as long as Sister Lan nods, you can leave here immediately and be a serious Mrs. An!" ”
Meng Shi couldn't help but gasp, "Could it be that in just two years, the entire Hou Mansion has been controlled by her?" ”
An Ruoxian nodded wordlessly.
Meng Shi paused, still very hesitant, and said, "Xian'er, don't you know how much my mother has suffered in the past two years, how can you ask me to bow down to my enemy and curry favor?" ”
Talking and wiping tears, there is no elegance and nobility when you are alone.
An Ruoxian looked at Meng's delicate skin dressed in brocade clothes and well-maintained, and couldn't help sneering in her heart.
Although he was locked up, there is no doubt that Meng Shi did not suffer at all, let me ask the people who can maintain it every day, where can they suffer? It's just that you can't go out.
In comparison, she suffered a lot when she was sent to the farm, and if it weren't for that person secretly helping her, she would have become like a rough country girl.
Putting back the resentment in her heart, An Ruoxian continued to persuade in a good voice: "Xian'er understands her mother's pain, but if we don't bow to Sister Lan, you will have to endure hardships and not hide it from your mother, the reason why Xian'er was able to return to the Hou Mansion was just because Sister Lan said a good word to her grandmother, and grandmother let me come back." ”
"Really?" Meng was half-convinced and had already wavered.
An Ruoxian made persistent efforts and cried: "Mother, even if Xian'er begs you, you should be soft, Xian'er doesn't want to see you continue to suffer, except for you, Xian'er has no relatives, you don't know, my aunt only cares about my brother and ignores me at all, and my father also brought a woman back, that woman is eyeing the position of the fifth lady, if you don't think about it, your father will be snatched away by that woman!" ”
Pretending to cry and secretly observing Meng's expression, she didn't believe that after taking this fierce medicine, Meng's could still hesitate!
Sure enough, as soon as she heard that An Shiyan had brought the woman back, Meng Shi immediately couldn't sit still, but she still cared about her face and said resolutely: "That's good, for you, I'm willing to give in." ”
An Ruoxian nodded happily, but she couldn't stop sneering in her heart.
Meng Shi did not forget to emphasize his own proposition, and said: "But after I go out, I still have to find a way to expose Lan'er's life experience, and I can't let her continue to be arrogant." ”
The smile on the corner of An Ruoxian's mouth froze, it seemed that she still needed to explain.
Holding Meng's hand, she said: "Mother, don't you understand, no matter how hard you try, Sister Lan will always be the Miss Yan of the Marquis of Wenxin's Mansion, because the emperor said that she is her father's biological daughter, she can only be her father's daughter, if you continue to entangle, the emperor will not spare you." ”
Hearing this, Meng Shi frowned puzzled and asked, "Why?" Lan'er is obviously Brother Xu's daughter, but it was Sister Yan who abandoned her, so the emperor should treat Sister Yan's crimes! Of course, it is also necessary to cure Lan'er for not remembering the grace of nurturing and the sin of ingratitude, how can the emperor cure my sin? ”
"......" An Ruoxian was speechless when asked, is it really okay for her to cooperate with this pig-like person?
But now besides Meng, who can help her?
Even if she is no longer favored, as long as the Meng family is still Mrs. An Wu, she will be able to occupy a place in the Hou Mansion, and the Meng family will still be useful to her.
After a little hesitation, she patiently explained: "Mother, don't you know, it is a felony to confuse the royal bloodline, if it is confirmed that Sister Lan is the daughter of the King of Jin, it will not only be a matter of Princess Jin alone, everyone in the Jin Palace's Mansion and the Wenxin Marquis Mansion will be implicated, and they will be exiled at least and punished by the Nine Clans, and when the time comes, we will not be able to escape." ”
She deliberately lowered her voice, and her cold tone made Meng Shi tremble uncontrollably.
Meng Shi held his head and shouted in fear: "I, I don't want it, I don't want to be exiled, I don't want to punish the Nine Clans!" ”
"Then let all the qiē of the year rot in the stomach, Sister Lan is your daughter!" An Ruoxian struck while the iron was hot, looked into her eyes, and gave her the strongest hint.
Meng Shi looked up at her resolute eyes and nodded tremblingly.
An Ruoxian smiled with satisfaction.
Back then, when she was most angry, she also thought about exposing An Ruolan's life experience and hoped to ruin Yiqiē, so she begged Zhao Jing to help Meng, but then she woke up, she stopped in time, and did not spread the rumor that An Ruolan was the daughter of King Jin in the name of the goddess, but fortunately, Zhao Jing failed to really reverse the situation.
She didn't care about the Wenxin Marquis Mansion, but how could she let the Jin Wangfu and Meng Guofu have an accident? These two are the right-hand men who help the male protagonist achieve great things, and they are indispensable.
Although the Jin Palace's and Meng's maintenance of An Ruolan made her dissatisfied.
It's been two years, no matter how gentle and considerate Zhao Jing takes care of her, she still can't forget Zhao Yan, she still wants to help the male protagonist pave the way, she doesn't care if the male protagonist will notice her, if you love someone, isn't it to pay silently? This is what Zhao Jing taught her.
And now that she's back, and the plot has reached a stage where she's familiar, it's time for her to show her strength.
In the past two years at the Grange, she has not wasted her time in vain. (To be continued)
