Chapter 189: Visit
The reason why Mengbao chose to make such a big deal on the street that day was to drag all the people hiding behind him into the water once and for all to find out.
It is impossible for those nobodies in Qilan Mountain to have much power in the capital, let alone the people who can mobilize the soldiers and horses of the five cities, so it is obvious that they have someone behind them.
Even if those people in Qilan Mountain don't confess, the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is a soft bone, and it should be easy to interrogate who instructed him behind his back.
Shen Nanzhu thought for a while, considered his words and said: "The confessions of those people did recruit officials who supported Qin Sheng and others behind the scenes, but there was another person hidden behind that official. The wind-breaking crossbow that Qin Sheng gave to that official was also taken by that official to that person, and that person couldn't move it for the time being, so he ...... We had to put the blame on the deputy commander first, and then beat the official. As for the rest, they did not delve into it, so as not to startle the snake and alarm the real people behind the scenes. ”
He seemed to be afraid of Mengbao's disappointment, and kept looking at her face carefully when he spoke, thinking about how to explain things clearly without revealing too much information to her, lest she know more and more uneasy.
Mengbao listened to Shen Nanzhu's words, and said that it was false to say that she was not disappointed at all, but she also knew that there must be many other things involved behind this, and the people involved were afraid that it was not simple, so she didn't say anything more, and only asked him if this matter would have alarmed the people behind the scenes, and whether it would cause him trouble.
Shen Nanzhu smiled and kissed her cheek.
"If you hadn't made a fuss. We're not going to get that person's real handle, and we have to thank you for that. ”
Meng Bao glanced at him: "Coax me, you will!" ”
Shen Nanzhu laughed loudly: "This is not to coax you, since I have a wife, everything goes smoothly for my husband, and my wish comes true, my wife is really a lucky star for my husband." ”
Meng Bao giggled and slapped him: "Where did you learn these coaxing words?" More and more unserious! ”
The two were laughing and laughing in the room, and they heard Mo Chou's voice outside, saying that it was the five mothers of the Zheng family in Bei'an City who handed over the worship post and asked to see the young lady.
Zheng's five mothers? Zheng Sumei?
Mengbao was surprised.
Since the last chance encounter on the street. Zheng Sumei never appeared again.
She didn't think she was going to come looking for her. I didn't expect it to pop up again after so long.
Shen Nanzhu frowned slightly, and looked at Mengbao: "Do you want to see it?" If you don't want to see it, let people refuse, and you don't have to embarrass yourself. ”
Meng Bao smiled: "You have already helped me deal with the affairs of Bei'an, what is the difficulty for me to meet her?" ”
As he spoke, let Mo Chou pass the word. Invited Zheng Sumei in.
Zheng Sumei is a female dependent. Shen Nanzhu was naturally inconvenient to stay in the house. He avoided the small ear room that was specially converted into a study room for him, which could not only avoid Zheng Sumei, but also hear the movement here. Don't be too far away, something happens and can't be there in time.
Mengbao looked at the plain-clothed woman in front of her, let the little maid serve tea, and then asked straight to the point: "I don't know what Mrs. Zheng is looking for me?" ”
If Zheng Sumei said Chen Zheng when she handed over the post, then she naturally wanted to call her Mrs. Chen.
But she herself said that it was the fifth lady of the Zheng family, so she naturally called her Zheng Niangzi, without mentioning the surname Chen.
Zheng Sumei sat on the chair, looked at her and then at the furnishings in the room, her expression was a little gloomy.
"The prince of Dingnan is very good to you."
Meng Bao raised an eyebrow, not understanding what she meant by this.
"I'm ...... with each other"
She spoke again, but stopped halfway through speaking, and changed her words: "The first husband had an accident in your Dingnan Hou Mansion, and it happened that on the day of his accident, you suddenly left the house, and you were rejected by your own family in front of the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion. ”
"Although it turned out that the divorce was false, I believe that everything will not come out of nowhere, and there must be something hidden in it."
"Then I heard something, something about you...... and my late husband's affairs. ”
Zheng Sumei stopped again when she said this, looking up at Mengbao's face, as if she wanted to see something in her eyes.
However, Mengbao always looked calm, she could only bow her head again and continue to speak.
"I want to find out the facts, but with the power of the Dingnan Hou Mansion in Bei'an, I will inevitably have to return in vain, and my mother's family will not turn against the Dingnan Hou Mansion for an uncle who was born in a businessman and has passed away, so ...... I had no way to ask for help, so I could only swallow a qiē bitterness into my stomach. ”
Her eyes were filled with tears, her voice was slightly choked, and she adjusted her feelings before continuing to speak.
"But I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling to become a widow like this inexplicably, I don't even know the true cause of my husband's death, and I don't even know if he was in his heart before he died......"
"So I tried my best to find out some things that I thought were useful from the mouths of others, and I wanted to piece together a truth and make myself feel at ease."
"Then I met your sister, Su Mengwan."
Zheng Sumei paused slightly when she said this, and looked at Mengbao again.
Mengbao frowned slightly, and he knew something in his heart.
This woman came all the way to the capital, I'm afraid she just listened to Su Mengwan's provocation, right?
Then why didn't she make a big deal out of it, but kept silent until she came to the door today?
Zheng Sumei saw her expression, and a wry smile tugged at her lips.
"Your sisters are really at odds."
The sisters are not in harmony, so what Su Mengwan said is naturally biased, and it can even be said that most of them are malicious, deliberately trying to arouse her doubts and make her believe that Su Mengbao and Chen Er had an affair.
She looked at the extremely bright and indifferent face in front of her, and inexplicably remembered the scene when she met Su Mengwan.
It was a woman who looked a little similar to the person in front of her, but between her eyebrows and eyes she looked gentle and quiet, not as dazzling as this.
The woman looked at her with a look of embarrassment, a little apology in her eyes, and a soft voice.
"My sister has married into the Dingnan Hou Mansion, and your father-in-law has also passed away, so you shouldn't worry too much about some things, it's not good for anyone."
"I don't want to lie to you about anything, but I can't say that my sister isn't, so ...... So don't embarrass me. ”
"I know you're bitter in your heart, but no matter how hard you are, you still have to live this life. The deceased is gone, no matter how he died, he is still dead after all, so why should you dig into the cause of his death, even if you figure it out, you can't bring him back to life. ”
"My sister has now gone to the capital with her brother-in-law, no matter how much you toss in Bei'an, you can't help her, why don't you put down a qiē and live the rest of your life calmly." (To be continued......)
