Chapter 168: Method
"Yuyan ......" King Jin was shocked, looked at Meng Yuyan pleadingly, and said with sorrow: "Why don't you even understand me?" ”
Meng Yuyan didn't look at him, but couldn't help sobbing, "How could you ever think about me?" You lied to me back then, and I shouldn't have believed you anymore. ”
King Jin's eyes were even more sad, and he explained: "I didn't mean to lie to you, it's really Yuxia that she ......" After a pause, he sighed: "It's me who is wrong, but I never wanted to hurt you, and I also love our children." ”
Never thought of hurting her......
Meng Yuyan was funny when she heard this, she turned around expressionlessly, didn't want to face him again, and said coldly: "I only hate myself for being too selfish and stupid, I actually believed your coaxing and threats back then, and lent Lan'er in exchange for your life and a couple, in exchange for the safety and health of Brother Yi and Brother Miao, even if it is ...... Even if you divorced me back then, I shouldn't have agreed, I should have left the palace for Lan'er, it was better than hurting others and myself all these years, even Brother Yi and Brother Miao didn't dare to take a look at it......"
As he spoke, he couldn't cry anymore.
"Yuyan," King Jin was distressed, frowned disapprovingly, stepped forward to support her trembling shoulders, and said in a low voice: "It's me who is wrong, but you shouldn't say such a thing, if Brother Yi hears it, how will he deal with himself?" Brother Yi and Brother Miao are also our children, you can't just take care of Lan'er......"
Meng Yuyan didn't wait for him to finish, sneered, and said sharply: "Could it be that I caused this situation today?!" ”
Suppressing the attachment in her heart, she shook off the warm and generous palm on her shoulder.
The embarrassment of being rejected made King Jin angry, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you want me to watch Yuxia die back then?!" Yuxia is your own sister! ”
As if he felt that his tone was too harsh, he softened his tone again and said softly: "Yuyan, I know that you are sad in your heart, but the mistake has been made, and now, whether it is for Lan'er, or for the face of the royal family, the Meng family, and the An family, we should no longer hold on to the old things." Yuyan, we still have Brother Yi and Brother Miao, we ......"
Meng Yuyan interrupted him again and mocked: "Don't say that you seem to be close to Brother Yi and Brother Miao!" ”
She was finally willing to turn around to look at him, but her expression was cold and grim as she had never been, and she said: "You don't believe that Yuxia will succeed Lan'er, but I believe it, even if it is an adopted daughter, I want Lan'er to return to me, if you don't agree, I will invite myself to go to court!" The tone is resolute and cannot be questioned.
"In your heart, Lan'er is more important than me and more important than a qiē?" Looking at her eyes without the slightest warmth, King Jin secretly clenched his fists, anger and sourness collided violently in his chest, and his internal organs were in pain when he hit the ground.
They can have another child, why just won't she back down?
Once upon a time, they were such an enviable couple, but she has changed.
In the final analysis, she still doesn't believe him, doesn't believe in his sincerity to her, and thinks that he has other thoughts about Yuxia.
But Yuxia is her sister, and she is so kind and well-behaved, gentle and intelligent, shouldn't he cherish it?
He just thinks of Yuxia as his sister, but who believes it?
He felt extremely saddened.
Facing his mournful look, Meng Yuyan silently shed tears, she didn't answer, just turned her back to him again.
Seeing this, King Jin's heart was shocked, knowing that she was iron-hearted, he closed his eyes painfully, and he compromised: "I understand, I will consider it." ”
He also didn't want to give up the relationship between them.
With a tired body, the King of Jin left the Yuhan Pavilion devastation.
Looking at his departing back, Meng Yuyan couldn't support it anymore, and fell on the bed, crying.
*****
Coming out of the Jin Palace, it was already three o'clock, Meng Yuqing did not return to the Zhou Mansion, but went to the Meng State Mansion, she did not dare to show the slightest anger, only pretended that nothing had happened, and took care of the sick Mrs. Meng.
Because of seeing her happy son-in-law, Mrs. Meng's complexion was much better, and she asked Meng Yuqing, "Didn't I take you to accompany Yuyan?" Why did you go back? ”
Meng Yuqing responded perfunctorily, and did not answer, but said: "Auntie, Ming'er I want to meet Yuxia and Lan'er, the matter has reached this point, I want to hear the thoughts of their mother and daughter." ”
Old Madam Meng was immediately diverted from her attention, and said with her head bowed: "Also, ask clearly, and make plans early." ”
Blindly escaping and not daring to face it will only miss the best opportunity.
Mrs. Meng grabbed Meng Yuqing's hand, patted it, and said with gratitude and guilt: "Yuqing, although you didn't come out of the belly of the eldest mother, you are no different from the eldest mother's biological daughter. ”
These words came from the bottom of her heart, Mrs. Meng really treated Meng Yuqing as her own daughter, otherwise she would not think about her in everything.
Hearing this, Meng Yuqing couldn't help but think of the carefree time when she was young, and remembered the intimacy of the sisters when they were still in the boudoir, talking about everything, and then thinking about the current situation, she couldn't help but redden. Snorting, she forced a smile and said, "How can the eldest lady say so strictly, it's all what I should do." ”
Seeing that her face was sad, she couldn't help but add more sadness, Mrs. Meng secretly wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "Look at the eldest lady is all confused, just talk some nonsense, the eldest lady doesn't want to see you, don't go to your heart." ”
"No, it won't." Meng Yuqing held Mrs. Meng's hand and smiled.
Mrs. Meng sighed and said: "The eldest lady is old, and I will rely on you to take care of the two sisters in the future, Yuyan is capable, what is not beautiful is that she is weak, Yuxia has been in good health in recent years, but she is soft and confused, their two sisters, one race and one is not worrying, except for you, I don't know who to entrust." ”
These words reminded Meng Yuqing of what happened in the Jin Palace, and she barely squeezed out a smile, she said: "The King of Jin is a relative of the emperor, and I can't interfere in the affairs of the Jin Palace, so I can only say a few words to Yuyan in private." ”
It's not a joke to say that she is breaking off, she really won't pay attention to King Jin in the future, and she will only mention it in private to Yuyan.
"As for Yuxia......" she smiled bitterly twice and didn't continue.
Old Madam Meng understood what she meant, and sighed: "Why did Yuxia become like this, when she was in the boudoir before, she was not like this. ”
Meng Yuqing smiled silently.
Looking at her expression, as if she didn't want to mention the past, Mrs. Meng turned to say: "It's really hard for you in the past two days, the eldest lady is no longer in trouble, you can go back to the Zhou Mansion tomorrow, and save yourself from gossiping." ”
Meng Yuqing bowed, "I can save it." ”
The two talked about Ming'er going to the Wenxin Marquis Mansion again, and Mrs. Meng felt that she was much better, so she said that she wanted to go together, but Meng Yuqing couldn't stop her, so she had to respond.
On the other hand, in the mansion of the Marquis of Wenxin, the old lady was also discussing with the old marquis about dealing with the rumors.
As the saying goes, it is better to believe it than to believe it, the old marquis does not necessarily believe in the words of the goddess, but the rumors are fierce, but he has to take action.
For the sake of the future of the Hou Mansion, he must be cautious, just in case.
He didn't want his family's century-old legacy to fall short of his own injury.
But there are some things that it is inconvenient for him to come forward, especially about the back house, because he can only consult with the old lady, and moreover, it is also to show respect for the old wife.
The old lady listened to the old marquis's troubled and earnest words, and her heart was cold.
said that it was a discussion, but she knew that her husband was hinting that she would come forward to carry a qiē and do a ruthless thing of abandoning her granddaughter.
This is not the first time that the old marquis has asked her to bear the infamy and deal with things that will be criticized.
After all, compared to the upright hereditary marquis, her reputation as a deep house woman is not so important.
Holding her wrist lightly, the old lady was silent.
Seeing this, the old marquis's eyes were vague and inexplicable, he took a sip of tea, and slowly said: "Sister Lan is a good child, and I can't bear it." ”
The old lady's eyes flashed slightly, and a trace of ridicule slipped through her eyes without a trace, and she said quietly: "It's not that the concubine is unwilling to sacrifice the little self, but if Sister Lan is succeeded right now, I'm afraid that the rumors will be confirmed, since the Hou Ye cherishes Sister Lan, he must not want to ruin Sister Lan's reputation, right?" ”
The old marquis held the teacup for a moment, then pretended to frown in annoyance, looked at the old lady with deep eyes, and said: "Madame is reasonable, but at the moment we have no choice, maybe Madame has a better way?" ”
"......" The old lady was silent, not to say a better way, or a worse way, she didn't have it.
"How? If Madame has a better way, I will do what Madame wants. The old marquis asked aggressively.
The old lady pondered for a moment, and finally could only compromise temporarily, she bowed her head and said: "I also hope that the Hou Ye will give the concubine some time, if you really can't think of a way, the concubine will obey the Hou Ye's will." ”
Seeing this, the old marquis bowed his head with satisfaction, "I hope that Ming ** can think of a way, and I can't bear Sister Lan." ”
As he spoke, he stood up, "I'll go back to the front." ”
"The concubine sent the Hou Ye." The old lady hurriedly got up and sent the old marquis out of the gate of Yirong Garden.
On the way back to the room, Mama Song said worriedly: "How should this be good, Master Hou is afraid that he is determined to release Miss Jisix." ”
She can't say it, in the eyes of the old marquis, nothing can compare to the interests of the family.
Otherwise, the old lady would not have to keep all the concubines by her side.
The old lady's face was heavy, and she only said when she heard the words: "Be careful these days, don't let people break their mouths in front of Sister Daolan." ”
"Save." Mama Song cautiously bowed her head again and again.
The old lady paused, and then said, "You go to the fourth daughter-in-law's room to spread the word, and ask her to come to see me immediately." ”
The rumor mentions that the goddess met Meng in Tianyuan Temple, and then broke through the sky, there is no doubt that this happened on March 3, that is, when they went to Tianyuan Temple to pray for blessings. And during the two days and one night they stayed in Tianyuan Temple, only during the time when Meng was lost, the goddess could have met her, and at that time, the fourth daughter-in-law, Rong, had been with Meng.
The old lady didn't expect the Meng clan to come in handy, so she could only start from the Rong clan.
Mama Song responded to summon the fourth lady Rong.
The fourth lady soon arrived at Yirong Yuan and entered the ear room on the side of the outer hall.
Sincerely frightened, she greeted the old lady, and the fourth lady sat down on the collapsed chair.
The old lady didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Fourth daughter-in-law, let me ask you, what did the goddess say in Tianyuan Temple that day?" ”
The fourth lady had already guessed the old lady's intention of calling her over, but she was still directly startled by the old lady.
She also listened to the messages in the market, knowing that her mother-in-law would ask sooner or later, because she had already prepared the answer, and when the old lady asked, she was honest, and she said it all in 1510, and she didn't dare to hide it at all.
The old lady listened intently to the fourth lady's account of what happened in Tianyuan Temple on the third day of March, and when she heard that Meng reported her origin in front of the thief and believed in the words of the goddess, she frowned unhappily and listened patiently to the whole story.
"According to what you said, the so-called way of the goddess to crack Sister Lan'er's life chart is to let Sister Lan change her parents?" The old lady frowned, and only felt that the goddess's remarks were extremely absurd.
The fourth lady trembled and didn't dare to say more.
The old lady was thoughtful, and after a while, she softened her expression and said softly: "I haven't seen Da Ge'er come over for a long time, I heard that the child is sick again?" ”
The gentle and kind words made the fourth lady tremble slightly, and she couldn't adapt to this sudden change.
After thinking about it, the fourth lady muttered: "Because of the wind blowing a few days ago, Da Ge'er has been a little uncomfortable in the past two days, and Mother Lao is worried. ”
She married into the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, because of her frailty, now there is only a four-year-old boy under her knees, and she was born a sick child, this child does not please her grandparents on weekdays, and today's mother-in-law suddenly mentioned it, but she was so surprised.
It's not that she doesn't know her mother-in-law's intention to mention Da Ge'er, although she is a little unwilling, but she is relieved to think that her son can be blessed by her mother-in-law in the future.
"What did you say!"
Hearing this, the old lady snorted and said with a kind smile: "Brother Da is my grandson, so I naturally miss it." ”
He also said: "It just so happens that I got a few good mountain ginseng a few days ago, and you will take it back to make up for Da Ge's body in a while, he is still young, and it will always be good to take care of it carefully, don't worry too much, if you need anything in the future, just come to me to get it." ”
The fourth lady was flattered and said excitedly: "Thank you, mother." ”
The old lady smiled and bowed her head, talked a few words with the fourth lady, mentioned a few words of care, and asked Mama Wu to bring the mountain ginseng and let the fourth lady go back.
After sending off the fourth lady, Mama Song returned to the old lady and asked with a happy face, "Does the old lady have a way?" ”
The old lady neither nodded nor shook her head, but said, "It's hard to say, there are still many things to do." ”
She had an idea, but she didn't dare to say it all.
Rao is like this, and it is enough to make people happy, Mama Song said happily: "It's always good to have hope, not to mention the old lady, the slave and maid are reluctant to Miss Six." ”
Living in the same courtyard, it is indispensable to walk back and forth, and once you meet more times and become familiar, it is really difficult not to like the smart, well-behaved, cheerful, and sensible Miss Six.
Thinking of her well-behaved and caring granddaughter, a smile appeared on the old lady's tense face. R1152
