Chapter 24 The human heart is fickle
86_86297On the way to Meng's house, Li Mengshi was sullen and entangled in his heart, in the morning Old Man Meng came to Li's house because of rumors, she knew, but she didn't expect things to evolve to this point.
"Uncle, it's okay, Grandfather Meng and Uncle Meng are both sensible people, there may be something else in this that we don't know!" Yun Zirao comforted Li Mengshi, but she didn't know that she was a prophecy!
"Zirao, my aunt understands in my heart that since you came, everything has taken a turn for the better in the Li family, which will inevitably make people blush, and the saddest thing for my aunt is the Meng family, so it is not easy to reconcile...... After all, I haven't been in contact for many years, and this person's heart is ...... It's unpredictable! Li Mengshi was half sighing and half sad, and his eyes were red.
Yun Zirao nodded, what Li Mengshi said was right, people's hearts are fickle!
The carriage drove directly into the Meng family, bypassing the small garden in front of it, and going straight to the lobby, the housekeeper of the Meng family went to pass the word to the old man Meng, but the old man Meng had not yet come, and Meng Lingfeng came over first with Mrs. Meng.
"Deputy City Lord Meng, Mrs. Meng!" Yun Zirao was the first to say hello.
Meng Lingfeng's face was very ugly, he nodded at Li Mengshi, and did not make a sound, and directly ordered someone to serve tea, which made Li Mengshi's face change slightly.
Mrs. Meng looked at Li Mengshi and Yun Zirao, with hatred in her eyes, which made Yun Zirao feel a little wrong.
"Mrs. Li is here at this moment, is she going to come to the door to propose?"
"I ......" Li Meng's words paused, not knowing what to say, Yun Zirao helped Li Mengshi to sit aside, very unhappy with Meng Lingfeng and Mrs. Meng's hospitality, "Deputy City Lord Meng and Mrs. Meng are so hospitable?" Or should the court magistrate of Vice City Lord Meng be so disrespectful when he sees a lady who is higher than you? ”
"Miss Yun, this is a matter between the Meng family and the Li family, it has nothing to do with you, please don't interfere with Miss Yun!" Meng Lingfeng glanced at Yun Zirao, with a little anger in his eyes, but he still didn't argue with Yun Zirao, but his words were quite unpolite.
Yun Zirao's eyes rolled, smiled, and said, "Is Deputy City Lord Meng asking me to sever relations with the Li family?" ”
"You ......" Meng Lingfeng was choked by Yun Zirao's words, and his face turned red.
Although he was very angry and angry at the moment because of the rumors and Meng Yuan, he couldn't be angry casually, besides, this rumor was not from the Li family, the Li family couldn't wait to pick it up, Meng Lingfeng's expression seemed to make people feel that this qiē was the fault of the Li family, which was really ridiculous.
And take the relationship between Yun Zirao and the Li family as an example, Meng Lingfeng is not unaware, Yun Zirao is in the Meng family, and sometimes her words are more effective than Li Tingxuan, if Yun Zirao is not a granddaughter but a granddaughter of the Li family, I am afraid that the head of the Li family may not be able to point out who it is!
"Shut up, family, what nonsense!" Old Man Meng hurried over from the study, with anger on his face.
"Daddy!" When Li Mengshi saw Meng Huai, he immediately stood up and saluted, although the face on his face was very bad, but the number of etiquette was very thorough.
Meng Huai glanced at Li Meng's family, and his heart ached, this eldest daughter was left by the original wife, because of the Li family, the relationship with the Meng family was severed, and it was finally eased up, and something like this happened immediately, it was really ...... Could it be that God just can't see this girl and the Meng family, okay?!
"Daddy!" Meng Lingfeng and Mrs. Meng also saluted Meng Huai one after another, Meng Huai waved his hand and said, "Sit down, Miss Yun, I made you laugh." ”
"Old man Meng, it's all a family, it's nothing, Uncle Meng is angry, I can understand, speaking of which, I shouldn't have come today, but there are a few questions I don't understand very well, and I want to come to Meng's house to find the answer!" Yun Zirao stepped forward in person and brought Meng Huai a cup of tea from the tray handed over by the maid, behaving respectfully and speaking tactfully.
"Miss Yun, the old man heard from the city lord of Li, you are smart and alert, I don't know what the problem is, please speak directly." Meng Huai took the tea handed by Yun Zirao, took a sip, and looked up.
Yun Zirao smiled, and the hem of the clothes with entangled branches and embroidered gold threads fluttered slightly, so beautiful.
"Grandfather Meng, Zi Rao wants to ask, who will benefit the most when this rumor comes out? The Meng family? Or the Li family? ”
"Of course it's the Li family, Yuan'er's reputation is gone, if you don't marry into the Li family, in this life, who else is willing to go to the Meng family to propose, and even with Le'er's reputation will be damaged, this girl's family's reputation is the most important, Li Hua and Miss Lu's family are well known, and they want to get through guò...... The Meng family is everyone, a scholarly family, not as good as Miss Yun's Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, and the marriage has not been completed......"
Mrs. Meng's face was hideous, her tone was quite serious, and she showed no mercy at all, but at the end, when Yun Zirao was involved, her voice faded.
Li Mengshi held Yun Zirao's hand tightly, with apologies on her face, although she was very angry at Mrs. Meng's words in her heart, she didn't know how to say it...... After all, she was soft-hearted, especially when facing her own family, Yun Zirao shook her head lightly at Li Mengshi, and turned her head to look at Meng Huai and Meng Lingfeng.
Meng Huai frowned, he didn't think that Yun Zirao asked this question, the answer was as simple as Mrs. Meng said, if that was the case, Yun Zirao would definitely not ask, I'm afraid she wouldn't come today.
For Li Hua, Meng Huai is still very optimistic, now Li Hua and Ouyang Gongzi have become friends with the High Priest of Qingfeng, plus the relationship between the regent, if you want to find a lady in the future, there is no difficulty at all, plus the scene when I saw Li Hua in the Li family in the morning, it is obvious that Li Hua has no plans to get married at present, so this matter has nothing to do with Li Hua at all!
And the rest of the Li family, no one would spread such a rumor at all, so the person who spread the rumor is either from the Meng family, or a trap by someone with ulterior motives!
"Old man Meng, Deputy City Lord Meng, Mrs. Meng, you must know, if the Li family really wants to be close to the Meng family, why bother to make such a rumor, the Li and Meng families are in-laws, and in the eyes of outsiders, it will only become a beautiful conversation, although the Li family is now gradually improving, but after all, it is not as good as before, and my cousin's reputation is after the matter with Miss Lu...... It's too late for the Li family to maintain their cousin's reputation, why destroy it, whether this rumor is good or bad for the Li family, everyone must know it! ”
"Of course, I'm not talking about the rumors that the Meng family has spread out, these days, the old man Meng's family has been in and out of the Li family, and I want to understand the future development of the Li family, some things, I can't say it clearly, Mrs. Meng did mention to her aunt that she wanted to kiss and kiss, but her aunt didn't come down, thinking that she would wait to ask her cousin before making a decision, but Mrs. Meng was in the Li family garden yesterday, why did she say something like that to Sister Yuan?"
Yun Zirao's eyes were as bright as a sword, and she looked at Mrs. Meng, Mrs. Meng's face turned pale, what she said in Li's Garden yesterday...... Mrs. Meng thought about it for a moment, and her eyes were stained with a little weakness, but after a while, she returned to normal.
"What did you say?" Meng Lingfeng looked at Mrs. Meng with suspicion and anger in his eyes.
Old Man Meng also looked at Mrs. Meng, and saw that Mrs. Meng was a little cramped and uneasy, and the wrinkles in her eyebrows became deeper and deeper.
"Yes, I said that the Li family is good, and I want Yuan'er and Hua'er to get married, but this can't be said that the rumors are spread by me, Yuan'er is my own daughter, I only hope that she is good, is it possible to still want to harm her!" Mrs. Meng seems to be very confident, the corners of Yun Zirao's eyebrows are raised, and she keeps thinking in her head, looking at Mrs. Meng's appearance, it doesn't look like she is lying, so this rumor ......
Could it be that this rumor was really spread by King Lie in order to destroy the relationship between the Li and Meng families? No, King Lie will not use such means, now the news that King Lie wants to hear most is the death of Li Peng, Li Peng has been poisoned deeply, the Li family has no Li Peng, the big tree, it will eventually fall, plus the holy decree from the Golden Emperor a few days ago, just sealed Li Tingxuan as the history of assassination, and did not seal Li Tingxuan as the next city lord of Lanling City, so these days, King Lie is very relaxed about the Li family.
In addition to King Lie, in Lanling City, that is the Wang family and the Lu family, but the Wang family has been copied, and all the people from the Wang family have been escorted to Beijing, not in Lanling City at all, the Lu family now lives in the Lu family's big mansion, and there are Jin Aotian's eyeliner staring all around, if the rumors really flow out of the Lu family, they will definitely receive the news as soon as possible, and it is the Qi family, it is impossible.
The Qi family has been busy with the business of the major shops in Lanling City recently, and they have been in a hurry, how can they have the kung fu to take care of the Meng family and the Li family, so is there anything else Yun Zirao doesn't know about?
"Mrs. Meng, in addition to saying something like that in the Li Family Garden, you have also said it in other places, in the Li Family Garden, your words were heard by several of my maids, they were all trained by the people around the prince, after hearing the words, they sued me as soon as possible, it is impossible to say that I missed my mouth, I don't know the ...... around Mrs. Meng"
"Miss Yun, is this suspecting that there are unclean people in the Meng Mansion? Mrs. Ben sues you, the backyard of the Meng family, Mrs. Ben has been in charge for several years, and there is no such maid and wife who dares to gossip about the master! Mrs. Meng was obviously stimulated by Yun Zirao's words, and immediately put on a high-minded lady's demeanor, tilting her head like a fighting.
Yun Zirao was speechless, and looked at Meng Huai and Meng Lingfeng, Meng Huai was still frowning, the old man was obviously angry enough today, and he was silent, but Meng Lingfeng was a little wrong.
"Mrs. Meng, think about it, as soon as this rumor came out, whether it was for the Li family or the Meng family, it was very bad, it ruined the reputation of Yuan's sister and her cousin's reputation, and now the relationship between the two families has just improved, and there are only two results when such a thing happens, one is that the Li and Meng families are reunited because of rumors, but on the surface it is in the past, but they are no longer close in their hearts, and the future life of Sister Yuan and her cousin may also ......
The other is that the relationship between the Li and Meng families broke down again, and they never got along, but no matter which one it was, it was very bad for the Li family and the Meng family, especially for the Meng family! To Sister Yuan! Once Sister Yuan's reputation is damaged, then Sister Le will inevitably be implicated, and in the end, it may also involve Mrs. Meng and Deputy City Lord Meng, the Li family is now the end of the crossbow in the eyes of outsiders, and it is not worth mentioning! ”
Yun Zirao deliberately dragged the dangerous hài sex to the Meng family, and after the words fell, Meng Lingfeng's expression became even more strange, Yun Zirao paid attention to Meng Lingfeng, and always felt that Meng Lingfeng had a problem.
"Dad, I'll go out and come back in a while!" Meng Lingfeng couldn't sit still and wanted to leave, Yun Zirao gave Li Mengshi a look, and said: "I took the liberty to come today, Sister Yuan has a stepfather to take care of, and my aunt and I will not go, Grandfather Meng, Mrs. Meng, you should think about the powerful relationship, the Li and Meng families are in-laws after all!" ”
Yun Zirao took Li Mengshi and left with Meng Lingfeng, Meng Lingfeng seemed to be thinking about something all the way, and didn't notice that Yun Zirao's carriage was following him.
"Zirao, why do you want to follow ......?"
"Shhh, uncle, can you tell where this Uncle Meng is going to Lanling City? I don't think I've ever been to this piece before! Yun Zirao looked at the scenery outside the carriage and was a little puzzled.
Li Mengshi glanced out of the car window a few times, his eyes burned a little puzzled, and said: "This generation seems to be in the west of the city, and it is a place where some landlords live outside, and the specific uncle is not very clear. ”
Yun Zirao beckoned out the window, and a black shadow followed Meng Lingfeng into an alley.
The carriage stopped on the side of the street not far from the mouth of the alley, and Yun Zirao helped Li Mengshi get out of the carriage, put on a hat, and prepared to quietly follow Meng Lingfeng to take a look.
Meng Lingfeng walked to the door of a courtyard, raised his hands, saw that his hands were empty, threw up his sleeves and strode away, went to the street, and entered a pastry shop.
Yun Zirao and Li Mengshi were startled, and immediately turned around and pretended to pick rouge from the rouge stall on the side.
The black shadow came back soon and passed a few words to Yun Zirao secretly, Yun Zirao's eyes shrank, and she took Li Mengshi and went directly to the alley.
The door of the courtyard was closed, but the sound of the voice inside was clearly heard outside, and it seemed that the people inside would not think that someone outside was eavesdropping.
"Madam, the rumors outside are very powerful, and there are all kinds of things, but anyway, the reputation of the eldest lady is bad, and I heard that the beam is still hanging in the morning!" The voice of a crisp little girl came from the courtyard.
"The more the rumors spread, the more evil it is, in this way, the relationship between the Li family and the Meng family is getting worse and worse, no matter whether Meng Yuan marries into the Li family or not, it will not threaten the status of me and my brother in the future, as long as the Meng family does not help the old demon woman who does not lay eggs, the Meng family will have the final say in the future!" Immediately afterwards, a coquettish voice reached the ears of Yun Zirao and Li Mengshi with pride.
Yun Zirao and Li Mengshi glanced at each other, with shock and anger in each other's eyes, and the two also had guesses about the people in the courtyard.
"It's still Mrs. Powerful, a rumor has caused the Li family and the Meng family to be estranged again, and now, that old demon woman is probably sad about the eldest lady's affairs!"
"Hmph, a person is an old yellow old demon woman, fighting with Mrs. Ben, she is still far away, when Mrs. Ben gives birth to her brother and enters the Meng family, the first one will sweep her out! Delusional to marry the Li family, and want to have a relationship with the regent, dreaming! The cold voice said without any scruples, making Li Mengshi outside the door shiver involuntarily.
Meng Lingfeng carried two boxes of pastries and hurried back to the alley, and saw Yun Zirao and Li Mengshi standing at the door of the courtyard!
"You ......"
When Yun Zirao saw Meng Lingfeng, she immediately had a wave of anger and disgust in her eyes, Meng Lingfeng and the Li family have been walking so close, Yun Zirao's influence on him is not bad, I didn't expect it......
"Deputy City Lord Meng, please take the lady in the courtyard to explain to the Li family with us! As for what to explain, I'm afraid I don't need to say more about it! Auntie, let's go! No, you take people, follow Deputy City Lord Meng, and my aunt and I are waiting at the Li family! Yun Zirao helped Li Mengshi and turned to leave.
Unable to appear from the shadows, a vicious aura rose to the sky, frightening Meng Lingfeng's legs and feet.
When the people in the courtyard heard the sound of the door, they immediately came to the door.
"Master, you're here, Madame is talking about you, the little young master is not well-behaved, and he kicked Madame several times in the morning......" A girl dressed in a pink coat with slanted shoulders and a pleated cotton skirt opened the courtyard door, and when she saw Meng Lingfeng, she was happy on her face, and immediately began to chatter......
If it was in the past, Meng Lingfeng's mood would have been happy and eager, but today, his face was cloudy.
"This girl, please ask the lady inside to come out!" walked to the maid from Meng Lingfeng's side, and his voice was as cold as the cold wind of the wax moon, which made the maid afraid.
The maid's neck shrank, but when she saw that Wu was following Meng Lingfeng, she thought it was Meng Lingfeng's subordinates, so she didn't say much, but a displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she turned around and went back to the courtyard.
"Commander, the carriage is ready, at the mouth of the alley!" The person in the dark gave Wu Chuan, and Wu turned his head to look at the alley, where a green cloth carriage was waiting for .......
