Chapter 208: Inquiry

"Did you send the people who came to the capital back? If you don't go back, let them wait, I'll ask someone to make a set in the next few days, and let them bring it back to Ah Zheng when it's done. ”

Mengbao said.

"Okay, they haven't left yet, so they live at the Dongsheng Inn not far away."

"It's not easy for them to go to Beijing, and the old lady specially granted them a leave of absence and let them have a good time in Beijing for a few days before going back."

"It's rare to have such an opportunity, so they naturally have to walk around and take a look, and by the way, bring some Tuyi from the capital back, otherwise they won't run this trip in vain."

Magpie said happily.

"But I'm afraid the carpenter is hard to find, right?"

Xi'er asked hesitantly.

Not everyone can do a good job of Keju on that table, otherwise Young Master Ah Zheng would not have waited for the young lady to find the carpenter.

"Easy to find."

Mengbao smiled: "That person also came to the capital, and now he is doing things in our shop, and he can do it at any time." ”

"Huh?"

The magpie was a little surprised.

Mengbao was inconvenient to tell the two girls about the fact that Sang Zi had escorted them all the way to the capital, so he didn't elaborate on the reason for this, but directly diverted the topic and talked about his own shop.

"You should have listened to Mother Zhao and Hongjian, right? I opened a shop in the capital. ”

The two girls nodded: "I heard about it, and Mother Zhao said that although your shop has not yet opened, it is very famous, not only with Mr. Liu's inscription, but also appreciated by His Majesty!" Young lady, you are amazing! ”

Meng Bao smiled and shook his head: "Where am I powerful, these are all obtained by relying on other people's reputation." ”

Emperor Dezhao's must be because of the craftsmanship of mulberry. Liu Bufan's inscription is because of the relationship between Shen Nanzhu.

To put it bluntly, her shop is just a hard background.

But. A tough backstage is indeed indispensable in the capital, especially in Suzaku Street, where every inch of land is valuable.

A shop that can gain a foothold here. Either it is a century-old store that is famous all over the country, or it is supported by powerful people behind it.

Mengbao is just a little woman who has just arrived, if there is no twist and turn, even if she has money, she may not be able to open a shop here, and even if she does, it may not last long.

Xi'er Magpie only thought that she was modest, and smiled and didn't answer this conversation.

Mengbao asked them again if there was anything else going on in the Dingnan Hou Mansion, and if anyone in the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion had gone to them again.

Xi'er thought for a while and said, "There is nothing big about it, if there is, the old lady will definitely send someone to send a letter to you and the prince." Where can I wait for the slave and the magpie to come? ”

"As for the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion...... Since the young lady, your third sister recuperated and left, no one has come. ”

"My third sister? Rest? ”

Mengbao's face was puzzled.

Xi'er was shocked and hurriedly lowered her head.

"That's right, the third lady of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion accidentally ...... in our mansion before"

Que'er continued what Xi'er had just said, but was suddenly secretly pinched by Xi'er halfway through the sentence.

She let out a low snort, turned her head and just wanted to ask Xi'er why she pinched her, but saw that she was secretly looking at herself, and she hurriedly lowered her head and stopped talking.

That Miss Su is the younger sister of the young lady, and she broke her leg in the Dingnan Hou Mansion to recuperate for so long. It stands to reason that the old lady should have written to tell the young lady.

But the young lady now looked dazed and completely unaware, so it can be seen that the old lady did not inform her of this.

Didn't tell her, that is, you didn't want her to know?

Then they accidentally slipped out of their mouths today, wouldn't they......

Xi'er was full of apprehension. Fingers tugging at the hem of the garment, I don't know what to do.

Mengbao turned her head to look at Shen Nanzhu again, Shen Nanzhu patted her hand and said, "After we left Bei'an, your sister went to visit her grandmother in the house. Who knows, but accidentally broke his leg. ”

"Grandmother took pity on her injury and couldn't move, so she let her recuperate in our house for a while. I almost returned to the Yuanhou Mansion when I was waiting to be raised. ”

"Your father knows about it, and he agreed."

Su Mengwan went to visit the old lady in the Dingnan Hou Mansion after they left?

Meng Bao almost sneered.

She is nothing more than Su Mengbao's half-sister. Because Su Mengbao married into the Dingnan Hou Mansion, he became Shen Nanzhu's sister-in-law.

Why did such an identity go directly to Dingnanhou Mansion to visit Mrs. Shen?

And it was when she and Shen Nanzhu both left the Dingnan Hou Mansion and were not in Bei'an!

Meng Bao thought about it casually and knew that she must not have a good heart, and Bacheng went to the old lady to say bad things about her and ruin her reputation.

However, she must not have expected that Old Madam Shen was different from the Old Madam Su in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and she was by no means so easy to deceive!

The more she tried her best to think about the expiration of Old Madam Shen, the easier it was for Old Madam Shen to discover her true purpose, and then she would get bored.

But...... Since Old Madam Shen will not be deceived by her, and will hate her, then how can she be left in the mansion to recuperate?

Old Madam Shen is not the kind of person who will be kind to anyone casually, nor is she the kind of person who softens her heart because of the slightest bit of kinship.

How could such a person know that Su Mengwan had evil thoughts and still leave her in the house to recuperate?

Unless......

Unless it's the old lady herself who doesn't want her to go! So just take this opportunity to trap her! Lock her up in the Dingnan Hou Mansion!

Mengbao instantly affirmed his thoughts, and thought of how Su Mengwan could be so coincidental that she broke her leg in the Dingnan Hou Mansion when the old lady wanted to trap her, and she couldn't help but be shocked again.

Don't...... Her leg was not broken at all, but deliberately broken by the old lady?

She inexplicably remembered that when the Li family planted people in the concierge to embarrass her, the old lady did not change her face and immediately ordered the two concierge staff to be killed.

It is really not impossible for such a decisive person to deliberately break someone's leg......

But then again, although the old lady acted ruthlessly, she did not lose her temper at will.

Allows her to make that decision. Su Mengwan must have said or done something very excessive, which she couldn't tolerate.

Mengbao thought of Shen Nanzhu again, and said that the Marquis of Zhenyuan also knew about it. But Marquis Zhenyuan didn't mention it to her in his previous letter, indicating that he also acquiesced to the old lady's approach. I think the old lady is doing the right thing.

Although Marquis Zhenyuan doesn't care about Su Mengwan as much as he likes Mengbao, she is his biological daughter after all.

can make him, a father, turn a blind eye to his daughter's broken leg, Su Mengwan's actions are only afraid that the sky is angry and resentful.

You really deserve it!

Mengbao read a sentence in his heart.

"How long has she lived in the house? Did you cause chaos in the house? ”

Mengbao asked.

Although Shen Nanzhu had already told Mengbao about the matter in person, Xi'er Que'er didn't dare to say anything more about this matter, she only said that she didn't stay long, and she didn't cause any trouble, so she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Mengbao sighed, after all, these two little girls grew up in the Dingnan Hou Mansion since childhood, and they didn't dare to be as comfortable as the red note in front of her. After all, there is still some apprehension.

Shen Nanzhu, who had never spoken to the two little girls, suddenly opened his mouth at this time and said, "You can say whatever you know, know everything, and say everything." As long as it is something that happens in the house, there is nothing that cannot be said in front of the young lady. ”

The magpie was slightly stunned, and she didn't react for a moment.

Knowing everything, saying everything?

Other words...... Can you say anything to the young lady? Don't think carefully about which sentence to say and which not to say?

But......

"Don't worry."

Meng Bao smiled: "I know better than you what my sister's personality is, you can say whatever you have, don't worry about me being unhappy." ”

"If you want to say that she really caused some trouble, I believe it. If she honestly healed her injuries and left, then I don't think something is right! ”

When the magpie heard her say this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Actually, it didn't cause any trouble."

Xi'er said.

"Miss Su broke her leg, and she had to be served by others for food, clothing, housing and transportation. I can't move at all, even if I want to get into trouble, I can't get into trouble. ”

"The old lady thinks that she is your sister, and that the slave and the magpie have served you. Rather than sending someone else to serve her, it would be better to let us go directly. So they sent us over. ”

"Miss Su was crying at first, and she washed her face with tears all day long. It wasn't until half a month later that I gradually got better. ”

Xi'er's brows furrowed slightly when she said this, and she seemed to be a little irritable.

"Yes, yes."

The prince just said that they knew everything, and the young lady didn't look angry, so Que'er's courage grew again, and the chick nodded like a peck while echoing Xi'er.

"Miss Su cried all day long, and the slave and Xi'er couldn't persuade her, but when she saw that she couldn't be persuaded to do so, she went."

"Later, she finally stopped crying, but maybe she was bored lying on the bed by herself, so she pulled us to talk."

"But the slave maid couldn't talk to her, and always felt that what she said was uncomfortable, so no matter what she said later, the slave maid didn't hear it, and she shouldn't talk to her, and over time she didn't talk to the slave and maid!"

Xi'er frowned beside her, and secretly tugged at her sleeve.

Que'er pulled it back directly this time, and said dissatisfiedly: "The prince has said that we know everything and say everything!" ”

Although she hadn't read any books, she still understood the meaning of this sentence.

It's about telling them what they know, and don't hide it!

The forehead of joy twitched, and she secretly hated how this girl was so solid-eyed.

She listens to what the prince says? In case the prince is talking about making the young lady happy!

"What did she say made you uncomfortable?"

Mengbao asked.

Que'er thought about it, but pouted for a long time and couldn't say why.

"She didn't seem to say anything, just casually talked about the old things between her and the young lady, and talked about your previous affairs in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion or something."

"Anyway...... It's just uncomfortable! ”

In the end, Que'er only summed it up in one sentence.

Mengbao looked at Xi'er on the side again.

Xi'er sighed in her heart, and finally spoke truthfully: "Miss Su said that the two of us were assigned to serve her, a person with limited mobility, who was really wronged, and knew that we were affected because of you, young lady, if it weren't for the fact that we used to serve you, we wouldn't have been transferred to serve her." ”

"He also said that when you were in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, you were very good to the people around you, but because of your upright temperament, you always inadvertently get into trouble. He also said that Mrs. Zhenyuan Marquis loves you very much, so she never punishes you, but her subordinates are often affected by this, just like slaves and magpies. ”

"As for the rest...... Actually, it's all pretty much the same. The meaning of turning over and over again is that it is not easy for us to serve the young lady, and we will pay two compensation on your behalf, let us two bear more, saying that you actually have no bad intentions, but you are arrogant since you were a child, and you don't know how to be considerate of people......"

Xi'er's brows were twisted together again, obviously very tired of such words.

Mengbao snorted coldly again, and said in his heart This is really Su Mengwan's style!

If you are really considerate of others, why bother to put it on your face sentence by sentence, and really do something practical is not better than anything else?

always looks like the Virgin White Lotus, every sentence is considerate and accommodating, in fact, every sentence of understanding is to discredit her sister!

Thinking about her legs crippled at that time, lying on the bed and not forgetting to smear her everywhere, she was really conscientious!

When Xi'er spoke, Que'er nodded violently beside her.

"Yes, yes, that's what she said!"

The slave got tired of hearing it a few times, and thought that she might as well lie down on the bed and cry by herself, as she had done at first! It's better to cry than to say these things! At least the slave doesn't have to pay attention to her! ”

Mengbao couldn't cry or laugh, and Xi'er couldn't help laughing, her frowning brows stretched slightly.

"Young lady, there are still some words...... The slave doesn't know whether to ...... or not."

"Say it!"

Meng Bao said directly.

Xi'er looked at her, then at Shen Nanzhu on the side, and saw that both of them had positive looks, so she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

"In addition to those words, Miss Su often asks us about you and the prince in and out of words, it seems that ...... Seems to care a lot. ”

This was said in a vague way, but Mengbao easily understood the meaning.

"I know."

She said with a light smile.

Xi'er was not very surprised to see her say this.

The young lady just learned that Miss Su broke her leg in the Dingnanhou Mansion, and the first question was not whether she was in good health, but whether she had caused trouble to the Nanhou Mansion, which showed that she was really incompatible with this sister.

Thinking of what the young lady had said to the third lady of the Su family when she was still in Bei'an, I think I was more or less aware of this.

And judging from her current reaction, it may not be as simple as noticing, I am afraid that the two sisters have already fallen out because of this.

But also, which woman can stand her husband being coveted by others.

Even if it's his own sister, it's not good, not to mention that this is still the sister who was originally a concubine, because her aunt was able to become a sister-in-law because she was corrected.

Xi'er remembered Su Mengwan's weird face when she said those words, and then looked at Mengbao, who was sitting in front of her at this time, and pouted secretly in her heart.

Where is the third lady of the Su family worthy of their son, and she is embarrassed to covet her brother-in-law! Don't look in the mirror either! She is far worse than the young lady! (To be continued......)
