Chapter 8

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the courtyard of Meng Yuan, the man who was tightly tied up fell to the ground and struggled, his face was bruised, and he was obviously beaten up by someone - [on the ^^ net]

"Take out the contents of his mouth for him." Meng Yuan instructed his subordinates.

The little servant Quanfu immediately stepped forward and took out the things in the man's mouth, and the man immediately said, "Miss spare your life!" The minions don't dare, you spare the minions' lives, and the minions are all recruited! ”

Meng Yuan looked at him with a smile for a while, and said slowly: "Everyone else should go down, Quan Fu and Fufeng will stay." ”

The other maids and 'women' all retired, and when Yang Liu went out of the 'door', she glanced back again, Meng Yuan happened to meet her eyes, she immediately lowered her head and left, but Meng Yuan still saw the panic in her eyes.

"Miss?" Seeing that Meng Yuan was silent for a long time, Fufeng opened his mouth and called out.

Meng Yuan retracted his gaze, leaned back on the chair and ate fruit at will, the man who fell to the ground was the person who caused Meng Yuan to fall into the water a few days ago, he was a handyman in the outer courtyard, and that day he said that he was sending something to the inner courtyard, and he happened to pass by the 'flower' garden, but what was going on, who can say clearly?

"You said you recruited them all." After a long time, Meng Yuan seemed to have finally eaten enough, wiped his hands under Fufeng's service, and asked lightly, "Then what do you want to recruit?" ”

The man was about to speak, but Meng Yuan said before he could speak: "You have to think clearly, once you don't like me, I will ......" She rolled her eyes and smiled, "Send you back to the person just now." ”

As soon as the man heard this, he immediately trembled with fright: "The slave must know everything and say everything, and I just ask the young lady's subordinates to show mercy, and the slave doesn't want to go back!" ”

Meng Yuan waved his hand gracefully, signaling that he could speak. As she listened to his statement, she wondered who had tied him up.

Thinking about it, it seems that only Zhao Chen is possible. He had just heard about himself falling overboard, and there was a reason why he would do it, but how did he do it? It has been many days since the incident of falling into the water, and she was not hopeful, but now it is turning around, and this is a 'private' matter in the house, she did not reveal the details to him, is it possible...... He has eyeliner in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Thinking of this, Meng Yuan's mood was a little complicated, on the one hand, she felt a little scary, she was a 'girl' in the back house, how could she never have imagined that the hand of the Third Highness would be stretched so long, and even her omnipotent father had his eyeliner by her side. On the other hand, she felt safe because she knew he wouldn't hurt herself.

is a little troubled and contradictory, although he knows that Zhao Chen will not harm himself, but who knows what his attitude towards his father is?

If his father has always been on his side, it is fine, but if one day his father obstructs his way forward, or shows that he stands to assist others, then wouldn't their Meng family ......

"Miss, everything the slave has to say is finished, it was all done by Aunt Lin for the slave, and the money she gave to the slave has not been 'spent', and it is all buried in the field of my daughter-in-law's 'wife' house in Wu Village on the outskirts."

Meng Yuan thought for a moment, lifted his eyelids and said, "Take him down first, lock him in the firewood room in the courtyard, and don't let people outside see it." ”

The man said nervously: "Miss, you must spare the slave's life, the slave is just a subordinate, the old and the young, and the slave can't help himself." He suddenly said, "It's better to do this, Miss asked Aunt Lin to confront the villain, and let Xiangye make the decision for Miss You." ”

Meng Yuan smiled softly: "Yo, that's a good idea, but aren't you afraid that the Prime Minister will take your life in a fit of anger?" ”

The man trembled and said, "The slave believes that the young lady will speak for the slave, and the slave ......."

"Drag it off." Meng Yuan interrupted him expressionlessly.

Quan Fu took the order and dragged the man down, the man was still shouting when he left, Meng Yuan took a sip of the teacup and ignored it.

Fu Feng was puzzled: "Why didn't Miss let Liu Xing confront Aunt Lin?" ”

Liu Xing is the name of the next person, Meng Yuan put down the teacup and hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "You know that he will definitely tell the truth?" ”

"Miss means ......" Fufeng 'revealed' a surprised expression, in the end it was relatively smart, and it was easy to understand.

"Since Aunt Lin didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, there must be another arrangement, although she has found Liu Xing now, she can't let her father come to the play hastily, I'm afraid that Liu Xing will bite back, saying that I asked him to slander Aunt Lin."

"Isn't Liu Xing's statement that the money buried in the field of his daughter-in-law's house is not evidence?" Fufeng frowned.

Meng Yuan said in a deep voice: "You find a competent man, go to the ground of Liu Xing's wife's house in Wucun to dig, remember not to alarm others, and see what can be dug up." ”

Fufeng led the order, Meng Yuan stood up and went around the room thinking about his thoughts, and before he could sit down again, Yang Liu came in and reported: "Miss, the eldest lady is outside asking to see." ”

Meng Rou? Coming so soon?

Meng Yuan looked at Yang Liu silently, she lowered her head, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

Meng Yuan slowly sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "Please, it's so hot, how can you let my sister bask outside?" ”

Yang Liu bent down and withdrew to invite Meng Rou in, she wore layers of silk and gauze clothes, the weather outside was hot, her forehead was already sweating when she came in, and she felt cool after entering the house, but her heart was even more uncomfortable.

It's only June, and there are already so many ice cubes in Meng Yuan's house, and she and her mother are only half of here, which strengthens Meng Rou's goal even more, and she secretly swears that she will let her mother and herself live a good life, and snatch her father's heart from this sister!

"My sister heard that my sister went to see the dragon boat in the morning, so I came to listen to my sister talk about the lively scene."

Meng Rou politely said a meaningless opening remark, standing in front of Meng Yuan and not taking a seat, although she was the eldest lady, she was a concubine, and she was not a minute and a half short in front of Meng Yuan.

"Sister, sit down, what are you doing standing? In the morning, I went to see the dragon boat race, but it was not close and I couldn't see it clearly. Meng Yuan personally poured tea for her, and her words were careless, as if she really didn't care much about the excitement.

As the 'girl' in the boudoir, Meng Rou didn't have much chance to watch those scenes, although it was just an excuse, but she was also 'very' curious and wanted to go. But there was no way, she didn't have a Third Highness to rely on, but Meng Yuan, who had something to rely on, seemed to be disdainful of that dependence, and she didn't even want to talk about the scene.

If Meng Yuan knew what she was thinking, she would inevitably exclaim that it was really sick, how could she tell the truth and be misunderstood?

It's actually very simple, if you hate someone, then whatever she does will be an eyesore for you. If you have low self-esteem, you will feel that someone who is better than you will look down on you for whatever she does.

Meng Rou endured the unhappiness in her heart, and said with a gentle smile: "My sister must be happy now, Hou Ye and the old lady are coming back soon, they have been going to Wutai Mountain to worship the Buddha for more than a month, my sister has always been close to the Hou Ye and the old lady, and she must miss it very much." As she spoke, her eyes looked casually to the side, as if she were looking for some trace.

Meng Yuan pretended not to find anything, and said with a look of surprise: "Really? The Hou Ye and the old lady are coming back, so aren't the second uncles coming back too? ”

Meng Rou smiled: "Yes, look at my sister's happiness, my sister is going to be jealous." ”

Meng Yuan said with an innocent face: "My sister is really well-informed, I don't even know about this yet." ”

Meng Rou was stunned, embarrassed for a moment, and said, "Where, hasn't my sister heard about it?" It must be that my sister has a lot of things to do, and she is busy and forgets. ”

"Maybe." Meng Yuan didn't embarrass her, thinking about this relationship at home.

Meng Rou saw that she didn't intend to say more to her, so she said a few polite words and left, and when she left, she thought she was very secretive and glanced at the firewood room, and the intention of this time was obvious.

Meng Yuan returned to the room expressionlessly, drank a few sips of tea that was neither hot nor cold, sat down and fanned the wind with his hands, thinking about Meng Ze, the cousin of the second uncle's family, and was a little worried for a while.

Although Meng Yuanjun, Meng Yuanjun, the father of Meng Yuan, is the prime minister and the eldest son of Wu'anhou, he still has no son under his knees, only her and Meng Rou, two 'daughters'. Since Meng Yuan's mother passed away, Prime Minister Meng Cheng was reluctant to marry again, and he didn't want to go back to Aunt Lin's room, so the birth of a child was delayed for several years. Wu Anhou was angry for this many times to no avail, so he gave the position of prince to Meng Yuanzhou.

Prime Minister Meng Cheng's younger brother-in-law, that is, the Meng Yuanzhou family in the second room, in addition to Meng Ze, the eldest son, there are also two concubines from Meng Yu and Meng Qing, and the 'daughter' also has Meng Yue and Meng Jing, who are prosperous.

Meng Ze, the eldest son of the second room, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and in his previous life, Meng Yuan knew that he was not dealing with Zhao Chen when he had not 'eloped' with Su Jichen, and he was a member of the second prince Zhao Yin's faction, and he had done a lot of work for the second prince's prince.

In fact, in the matter of the prince's struggle for power, Prime Minister Meng Cheng's position has always been unclear, and his attitude is very ambiguous, as the prince of the Hou Mansion, Meng Yuanzhou does not express his position like his brother, and the first person in the Meng family to stand up is Meng Ze.

If Meng Ze is still fighting with Zhao Yin like in his previous life, it is not guaranteed that the Meng family will stand on the opposite side of Zhao Chen in the future, and things will not be easy to handle at that time.

Meng Yuan couldn't help but sigh. Although the 'girl' son has nothing to do with her mother's family after she gets married, her father is so good to her, how can she not think about the Meng family? Others don't know, but she knows very well that Zhao Chen is the future prince, even if she has been 'eloped' with Su Jichen for several years on the day he entered the East Palace, but this is also a sure thing, if Meng Ze really offended Zhao Chen before he was named the prince, it will inevitably drag down the Meng Mansion in the future and provoke Zhao Chen to blame. At that point, how will she deal with herself?

However, she seems to be too worried, her father and second uncle are in high positions, so naturally she is a younger 'girl' than her, and she can understand it, thinking that if her cousin makes too much trouble, the second uncle will stop him.

On the day when Wu'an Hou and his wife returned home, it was Prime Minister Meng Cheng's day of rest, Meng Yuan dressed up early and went to the Hou Mansion with his father to say hello, Aunt Lin and Meng Rou also dressed up with their hearts, but compared to the magnificent and "glamorous" Meng Yuan, it was still a lot worse.

Meng Yuanzhou got the news early and sent someone to wait outside the Hou Mansion, and as soon as Prime Minister Meng Cheng's family arrived, someone immediately reported that the prince went out to greet him in person, and the relationship between the two brothers seemed very good.

"Second brother, why do you have to be like this, I can enter the mansion, you and my brothers don't have to be rigid in courtesy."

Prime Minister Meng Cheng and his younger brother entered the Hou Mansion together, Meng Yuan followed behind in a regular manner, his eyelids drooped and he didn't look around' around, Meng Ze followed his father to greet the big family, and it was a little strange to see this cousin, who had always been lively and outgoing, so "well-behaved" today.

"Why is Cousin Yuan so silent today, but I am not used to being a brother." Meng Ze laughed and joked.

Only then did Meng Yuan raise his eyes to look at him, and said softly: "Cousin Ze has been out for a while, and my cousin is also stepping up to learn etiquette, and this has just achieved some results, Cousin Ze should not hit my cousin." ”

Meng Ze got closer and whispered: "I heard that the Third Highness took you to the Dragon Boat Festival a few days ago, and praised your poems at the palace banquet, but is there such a thing?" ”

Meng Yuan chuckled in his heart, although he didn't want to think about the worst, he had to think about it first, did Cousin Ze already hook up with Zhao Yin at this moment?

She was sixteen years old when she 'eloped' with Su Jichen, and now she is fourteen years old, and she has not yet met that unscrupulous person, and it should be a while before Cousin Ze stands on Zhao Yin's side.

Maybe it's the embryonic stage?

"Why doesn't my cousin speak, she's shy?"

Meng Ze smiled warmly, his dark eyes were extremely deep, if Meng Yuan was just a fourteen-year-old young 'girl' who was pampered and innocent, he would definitely not be able to see the deep meaning in his eyes, but at this moment it was different.

Meng Yuan smiled decently and said softly: "Cousin Ze still don't ask me about this, if you want to know, go and ask the Third Highness." ”

She covered her face and pretended to be very shy, and followed her father timidly, Meng Ze stood on the spot and thought about it with one hand, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more meaningful
