Chapter 166: Rumors (Two Shifts in One)

To destroy a person is a very simple matter.

Xue Sansan's ability is not good, but the ability to spread rumors is first-class, he has been in Shengjing for nearly a year, although he has not made any big names, but the people of the three sects and nine streams have known a lot, and now he is just going to spread one or two rumors, which is simply easy for him.

In just three days, rumors about the parents and brothers of the sixth lady of Wenxin Houfu spread all over Shengjing.

The rumor came from a song and dance workshop, and no one knew who it came from, and everyone only knew that the original words came from the mouth of the goddess.

And there are not many people who do not believe the words of the goddess.

When An Shiyan was asked about the rumors at a literati gathering, he was almost untenable, and he never imagined that this matter would actually spread.

His first reaction was that Meng had accidentally leaked the matter.

Unable to attend the party with peace of mind, without waiting for the party to end, An Shiyan took his leave and hurried back to the Hou Mansion, where he found Meng and confronted Meng straight to the point.

"I didn't!" Meng Shi shouted bitterly, she just didn't want her daughter to be in danger of her husband and son again, and she didn't mean to destroy her daughter!

How could she be so ruthless?! Could it be that she is so unbearable in his heart?

Meng was saddened by An Shiyan's questioning.

Hearing his wife's denial, An Shiyan calmed down a little, and he didn't want to believe that his wife would be so ruthless and vicious.

Even so, he didn't let go.

After a moment of silence, he looked into Meng's eyes. He asked in a deep voice meaningfully, "Apart from you, who else knows what happened in Tianyuan Temple that day?" ”

"This ......" Meng Shi's gaze wandered, and he said, "There are also four sisters-in-law...... ...... with Mama Li"

was looked at by her husband's sharp eyes. She suddenly didn't dare to be sure if the rumors really had nothing to do with her, she hadn't done it herself, but it was hard to guarantee that Mama Li hadn't done it either.

For her, Mama Li did everything.

An Shiyan thought of a place with her, and when he heard this, he frowned and said firmly: "It can't be the fourth sister-in-law." ”

The implication. Mama Li is very suspicious.

He also knew how loyal Mama Li was to his wife.

Hearing this, Meng Shi subconsciously rushed out: "How do you know it's not the fourth sister-in-law?!" He laughed again and said, "You know the fourth sister-in-law!" ”

How could he defend the woman next to him in front of her!

The sour, mocking tone made An Shiyan angry. He shouted coldly: "Don't be unreasonable! What reason does the fourth sister-in-law have to slander Lan'er?! ”

Meng Shi was also quick to speak for a while, and after realizing that she had lost her words, she immediately showed a weak and sad look and changed the topic. wiped away her tears and said: "What should I do, this matter spreads, and Lan'er's life will be ruined!" ”

Not to mention the noble children, even small families are reluctant to marry a lady with the reputation of a father and mother.

An Shiyan was also distressed, his injury was not long ago, this injury, the injured forehead was faintly painful again, he shook his feet, held the corner of his forehead and shook his head. Said weakly: "I want to think about it, it can't be like this, Lan'er can't be ruined like this." ”

Meng Shi saw that he was only thinking about his daughter at the moment. A fierce color flashed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, and said weakly: "Fifth Master, since the matter has spread, for the sake of the reputation of the Hou Mansion, in order to avoid more troubles." Let's do what the goddess does, otherwise. I'm afraid it's ......."

"Shut up!" An Shiyan interrupted angrily and yelled: "Lan'er is my daughter!" ”

That sentence of disbelief deeply pierced his heart, and it also made him completely realize his dereliction of duty and incompetence, and he could no longer hurt the daughter he wanted to love the most.

was shocked by the roar, Meng Shi was shocked, and then he couldn't help but be angry, and shouted: "Lan'er, she doesn't ...... at all"

Halfway through the conversation, she felt like she had been choked by the throat, and she couldn't say a word anymore.

Covering her mouth tightly, panic and panic flashed in Meng's eyes, and in her anger, she almost told the secret that she couldn't tell!

It's a real shot.

She was secretly frightened.

Looking at his wife, who wanted to speak and stopped, An Shiyan said sharply: "What do you want to say?" What's wrong with Lan'er? He felt that the words behind his intuition were important.

Where did Meng dare to say?

Covering her mouth, she shook her head repeatedly.

Crystal tears overflowed from her reddish eyes, she looked at An Shiyan with tears in her eyes, and sobbed: "Fifth master, Lan'er is my daughter, you have to believe me, I won't harm her, and I can't bear Lan'er, but for you and Brother Yan...... If I were alone, I would not have sent Lan'er away from my side, I would rather exchange my blessings for Lan'er's safety and smoothness......"

The poignant appearance of pear blossoms with rain made An Shiyan's heart soften, and most of his anger disappeared in an instant.

Sighing helplessly, An Shiyan hugged Meng Shi, who was out of breath on the crying ground, and comforted him softly: "I know your hard work, it's just ...... Alas...... In any case, we can't give up Lan'er, I don't believe in gods and ghosts, Lan'er is our daughter, she wants to grow up safely and happily by our side. ”

"Hmm......" Meng Shi bit his lip with tears in his eyes, and nodded gently in his arms unwillingly.

An Shiyan smiled softly and pitifully.

The husband and wife quietly hugged each other, comforting each other.

An Shiyan still had official business, so he couldn't stay for long, and after sitting for a while, he got up and went back to the front yard.

After leaving Xinyue Garden, An Shiyan looked solemn, summoned Qizhu, and ordered in a deep voice: "You go to check on Mama Li beside Madame Madame and see what she has done recently." ”

"Madame'...... over there" Qizhu was stunned for a moment, and asked later.

"Don't let Madame know." An Shiyan frowned, and the bottom of his eyes sank.

Now he is just guessing, there is no evidence to prove that everything is done by Mama Li, and even if there is real evidence, he doesn't want his wife to know.

He was sure that if the mastermind behind the scenes was really Mama Li, then it must be Mama Li who was good at making claims, and his wife was kept in the dark, and he didn't dare to imagine how his wife would be sad and blamed herself when she found out - the most trusted grandma around him actually hurt his beloved daughter for her. How cruel is this? The kind and frail wife must not be able to withstand such a blow.

Therefore, he could only investigate without telling his wife.

Qizhu knew his intentions, so he didn't ask any more. The leader retreated.

On the other hand, Meng Shi was walking around the room anxiously, and in the same way, she was also sad about the rumors.

really couldn't think of a reason, so she could only ask people to call Mama Li.

Mama Li also heard the rumors on the street, and she was in a hurry at the moment, so she sent someone from the Meng family over. She immediately rushed to Meng's side.

"Madam, it wasn't the slave who did it!" Meet Meng Shi. Mama Li's first sentence was to defend herself.

What happened in Tianyuan Temple, only she, Mrs. and Mrs. Four knew about it, and now the matter is spreading. She will undoubtedly be the first to be suspected, and knowing this, she will rush to defend herself.

However, the more she defended, the more Meng doubted her.

Frowning and sweeping Mama Li's frowning face, Meng Shi hid the disgust in his eyes, and complained: "Mama, I naturally believe in you, but it's just ......" She sighed faintly, "I'm afraid outsiders won't believe it." When the fifth master came, he was not only furious, but also threatened to find out the initiator behind the rumors. He also said that he wanted to protect Lan'er and prevent Lan'er from leaving us. ”

"How can this work?!" Mama Li was shocked, and suddenly forgot about what she was suspected, and said urgently: "Fifth Master is inviting disaster for himself!" How could he not think about you and the Third Young Master for you?! ”

Meng Shi shook his head bitterly, wiped the corners of his eyes with tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Now the fifth master has nothing but Lan'er in his eyes. There is simply nothing else. ”

Hearing this, Mama Li frowned. He whispered: "What a scourge!" He said fiercely: "She shouldn't have been kept in the first place!" ”

Meng Shi shook his head with sobs and defended: "Don't blame Lan'er, it's all my fault, I insisted on keeping her in the first place." ”

Seeing that she was sad, Mama Li hurriedly persuaded: "Madame can't bear to let Miss Six live in dire straits, and the Jin Wangfu at that time ...... Alas, it's too late to say anything, and it's only right to solve the current crisis. ”

Meng nodded again and again with tears in his eyes, and his eyes were full of trust.

Mama Li's heart softened, she smiled a little, and said softly: "The fifth master is reluctant to miss the sixth, why not because of the lady?" If Miss Six is not Madame's daughter, where will the Fifth Master care? The fifth master values the sixth lady because he values his wife. ”

These words made Meng Shi smile shyly and embarrassedly.

After a pause, Mama Li's eyes rolled, and she lowered her voice and said: "Since the matter has spread, just don't do it and make the matter bigger, so that you can take the opportunity to solve the matter, the fifth master is obsessed, and the old Hou Ye can't also ignore the safety of the Hou Mansion." ”

"You mean to let your father come forward?!" Meng Shi's eyes widened in surprise.

Mama Li bowed her head, "The words of the old marquis, the fifth master can't help but listen." ”

"But Lan'er hasn't agreed to ask for a successor, do you want me to go and tell my father?" Meng frowned reluctantly.

"Of course not." Mama Li patted her hand and said, "Miss Six didn't speak before because the matter didn't make a big deal, she can treat it as if it wasn't like that, and when the matter gets big, where is her choice?" With Miss Six's intelligence, she definitely doesn't want to be a sinner who is unfavorable to the family and unfilial and selfish. ”

"......" Meng was silent.

Mama Li took her reaction as a tacit acquiescence.

Unable to clear her suspicions, Mama Li began to devise how to make things bigger.

As the protagonist of the rumors, An Ruolan took his indifference and calmness to the extreme, but An Ruojin, who also heard the rumors, was worried and anxious.

Afraid that she would be sad, and distressed that she had encountered gossip at a young age, An Ruojin had been by her side almost all the time in the past few days, and her nervous appearance made An Ruolan moved at the same time, but she couldn't cry or laugh.

Compared with Mama Li asking her to come out on her own, the rumors from the outside world are just a small thing.

I don't know how the second sister will react if she knows Mama Li's "request"?

An Ruolan thought with interest.

However, she has no plans to inform others about this at the moment.

Regardless of whether Mama Li is really assertive, or she is instructed by her mother, the other party can be ruthless, but she can't be unrighteous, she doesn't want to lose both, and more importantly, she doesn't want her grandmother and grandmother to be sad and angry because of this incident. For the sake of their mother and daughter, the grandmother and grandmother were already sad enough, and she couldn't even affect the two old people.

She has decided. Once things have reached the point of no return, she will ask for her successor, but she will not leave the Wenxin Marquis Mansion.

Life. She'll marry from here.

*********

The rumors of An Ruolanke's parents and brothers have already spread, not only An Shiyan, but also everyone in the Wenxin Marquis Mansion has also heard about it, not only that, but the Meng Mansion, the Zhou Mansion, and the Jin Wang's Mansion have also spread all over the world.

Leave aside the reaction of the letter for the time being. Meng Guofu is in trouble.

Because of this rumor, Mrs. Meng, who had gradually improved under Meng Yuqing's comfort. The condition worsened again, and as a last resort, Qiao's had no choice but to invite Meng Yuqing to live in Meng Guofu and accompany Mrs. Meng.

And I don't know who spread the news that Mrs. Meng was seriously ill. The rumors of An Ruolanke's parents and brothers became more and more noisy, and with false rumors, the original Ke's parents and brothers became Kefu's relatives.

Following the Meng State Mansion, the Jin Palace's Mansion was also a mess.

Meng Yuyan was also sick.

Jin Wangfu, the main courtyard Yuhan Pavilion.

Meng Yuyan half-leaned on the warm couch, her face almost transparent.

"That's my child! My baby! Even if An Shiyan really has three strengths and two shortcomings, it has nothing to do with Lan'er! What a gram parents gram brother, why didn't she say it was retribution! It's all retribution! It's all ...... Ahem, ahem......" she yelled hysterically. Before he finished speaking, there was a heart-rending cough.

It was already very warm, but there was still a charcoal fire burning in her room. The body is also covered with a fox fur blanket, which shows that he is seriously ill.

Mother Zhang wiped her tears while patting her back for her, and persuaded in a low voice: "Princess, be quiet, the prince will be angry when he hears it." ”

The prince doesn't like anyone to mention the events of the year, and. The prince is not only good to Mrs. An Wu, but also a close friend with An Wuye. He didn't want to listen to the princess say that An Wuye's bad words.

"Don't mention him to me! It's all him, it's all him, it's him who stole my baby, it's all him! Meng Yuyan burst into tears, and the words in his mouth naturally referred to King Jin.

"The princess ...... mother" Mother Zhang didn't know how to persuade her.

"Why does God treat my hard-working Lan'er like this......" Meng Yuyan lay on the backrest and sobbed.

Mother Zhang couldn't answer, so she could only persuade in a good voice: "The slave maid looks at Miss Lan very much when she looks at Fifth Master An, and she must not let Miss Lan be hurt." ”

"You don't understand...... Meng Yuyan shook her head sadly, "With such a reputation, the Marquis of Wenxin Mansion will not be willing to stay......" Speaking of this, she was already crying bitterly.

How could Zhang's mother really not understand? The dirty things in the back house, the nature of the interests of the big family, she knows better than the princess.

Just knowing what, she simply can't help it.

With a sigh, Zhang's mother could only coax and persuade Meng Yuyan to relax.

Meng Yuyan cried until she was exhausted, and finally fell asleep groggily.

Zhang's mother called someone to bring hot water, wiped her tear-stained face for her, tucked the quilt for her, and quietly exited the door.

Outside the door, King Jin stood silently under the porch, motionless, and he didn't know how long he had been standing.

Mother Zhang, who opened the door and came out, was taken aback and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the prince." ”

King Jin raised his hand to excuse himself and asked in a dumb voice, "How is Yuyan's body?" ”

Zhang's mother sighed and shook her head.

King Jin felt a pain in his heart, slowly closed his eyes, and said bitterly: "She won't forgive me." ”

Hearing this, Zhang's mother felt a resentment in her heart, and said with a smile: "The prince is serious, how dare the princess not forgive you." ”

King Jin smiled bitterly, did not pursue Zhang's mother's disrespect, and said: "Yuyan has always believed in the words of the second sister the most, so he bothered Sister Liu to go to the Zhou Mansion and invited the second sister to come, thinking that it would be beneficial to Yuyan's illness." ”

"Slaves don't dare to be slaves." Mother Zhang owed, frowned, and said: "I just heard that the old lady of the mother's family has not been happy in the past two days, and the second aunt and grandmother have been taken to Meng Guofu." ”

"My mother-in-law is sick too?" King Jin was surprised.

"It's also the rumor!" Zhang's mother said angrily.

King Jin had a sneering look on his face, and said with annoyance: "It was the king who neglected to observe, and today the king will personally go to the Meng Guofu to visit his mother-in-law, and by the way, invite the second sister to come over the house." ”

He also instructed: "You are good to take care of the princess." ”

"Slaves and maids can be saved." Zhang's mother was blessed and watched King Jin go away.

When the king of Jin rushed to Meng Guofu, it was already evening, and Meng Guogong personally received him.

"Knowing that you are here to visit your mother-in-law, I will not leave you to talk more." Meng Guogong was not in good spirits, and after a little greeting, he asked King Jin to see Mrs. Meng.

"Nephew, take my uncle over." Meng Sanshao stepped forward.

King Jin knew that everyone was hurting over the rumors. It was very unpleasant in his heart, he thought, if he hadn't insisted on going his own way. Wouldn't it be where it is today?

Perhaps, even if he did do it all over again, he would still make the same decision.

Nodding, he went with his nephew to the courtyard where his mother-in-law lived.

In the ear room on the side of Qingque Hall, Meng Yuqing was waiting for Mrs. Meng to drink medicine, and the announcement of the maid outside the door made her subordinates laugh a little mockingly. She said, "Yo, it's coming pretty fast." ”

Old Madam Meng closed her eyes tiredly. "Let him in." ”

Meng Yuqing nodded, and raised her voice to let the maid in.

Because someone had already come to pass the word, it was because of Mrs. Meng and Meng Yuqing that they could be so calm.

King Jin and Meng Sanshao came in one after the other, and Meng Yuqing got up and stepped aside.

"My son-in-law meets my mother-in-law." King Jin lifted the hem of his clothes. Get down on your knees and say goodbye.

"The grandson has seen the grandmother." Meng Sanshao also saluted.

Old Madam Meng glanced at King Jin and said with a straight face: "The old woman can't afford the gift of His Royal Highness King Jin. ”

"Mother-in-law......" King Jin's face was sneering, and his elegant and handsome face turned red.

Seeing this, Mrs. Meng sighed and said, "Get up, as a prince, you really shouldn't kneel down to my old woman." ”

Hearing the ease in his words, King Jin was overjoyed, got up and said, "Mother-in-law is also a mother." It is only right for a son to bow down to his mother. ”

Hearing this, Old Madam Meng's face softened a lot.

This son-in-law of hers. He is the most valuable of all his sons-in-law, and he is the least seen on weekdays, but he is the most popular with her, and he is also the one she talks about most often. But now, she is powerless. I had to spare him for the time being.

Meng Yuqing pursed her lips and snorted coldly: "It turns out that King Jin is also a flamboyant person, and the courtiers are really eye-opening." ”

King Jin was embarrassed by what he said, and said, "I've seen the second sister." ”

Meng Yuqing gave way, accepted his courtesy, and shouted: "I can't stand it!" ”

King Jin's face was sneering again.

Unable to bear to see her son-in-law embarrassed again, Mrs. Meng glanced at Meng Yuqing, deliberately provoked the conversation, and asked, "How can you have time to come over today?" ”

Hearing this, King Jin threw away his unease and replied respectfully: "I heard that my mother-in-law is unwell, so my son-in-law came to take a look, I don't know if my mother-in-law is better today?" ”

Someone is always happy to care, Mrs. Meng smiled and sighed: "You are worried, people are old, and that's it." ”

After a pause, he asked with concern, "Is Yuyan good?" ”

King Jin's expression froze, and he pulled out a smile, and said, "Yuyan is very good, today she asked me to come back to visit my mother and send some tonic herbs to my mother." ”

Mrs. Meng was very happy when she heard this, her complexion improved a lot, she smiled and said: "I can give anything, I can't eat enough, but her own body is not good, she should make up for it." ”

King Jin responded with a smile and talked and laughed with Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng didn't notice the strange appearance of King Jin at that moment, but Meng Yuqing on the side could see it clearly, she knew that Yuyan must be sick again, otherwise she would definitely come back to visit her aunt.

Thinking of that rumor, she couldn't help but frown.

King Jin stayed until dinner before returning to the palace, and before leaving, he opened his mouth to Mrs. Meng, saying that he wanted to take Meng Yuqing to the palace to accompany Meng Yuyan for two days.

Old Madam Meng naturally couldn't stop her, and Meng Yuqing readily agreed.

On the way back to the palace of the King of Jin, the King of Jin rode on a horse, Meng Yuyan sat in the carriage, and the two talked in a low voice through the window.

"Have you heard that rumor?" Meng Yuqing's face sank like water.

"Hmm." King Jin bowed silently.

Meng Yuqing turned her head to look at him, and seeing that he was expressionless, she couldn't help but burst into flames in her heart, and said sharply: "Are you planning to ignore it and watch Lan'er being driven out of the Hou Mansion?!" ”

“…… I didn't mean that. King Jin frowned slightly.

"Heh-" Meng Yuqing sneered, "I only want to ask you, Yuxia plans to pass Lan'er out, what are you going to do?" ”

Hearing this, King Jin's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said firmly: "Yuxia won't do that, she promised me to take good care of Lan'er." ”

"Huh." Meng Yuqing sneered again, but did not speak again.

King Jin pursed his lips and was equally silent.

Nothing to say all the way.

Arrived at the Jin Palace, Meng Yuqing entered the Yuhan Pavilion in a familiar way, and the King of Jin was afraid that Meng Yuyan would be angry and sad when he saw him, so he did not follow him, but went back to the study.

At that time, Meng Yuyan had just woken up, and when she saw Meng Yuqing, she was sad and cried, Meng Yuqing finally coaxed the person, and coaxed her to drink the medicine, and the two sisters spoke carefully.

"I want to take Lan'er back to the palace." Meng Yuyan sobbed and said, "I can't let the Marquis of Wenxin send her to the countryside grange. ”

The lady of the family who has ruined her reputation has no second way except to be sent to the country grange.

"......" Meng Yuqing wanted to speak and stopped, she didn't know whether she should tell Yuyan about Yuxia wanting to pass Sister Jilan.

"I don't agree."

Just when Meng Yuqing hesitated, a low male voice suddenly sounded, and the two sisters looked up in surprise, but it turned out to be King Jin. (To be continued) R655
