Chapter 117, dilemma

Bai Mei looked at Ming Che with a hideous face because of anger in horror. Completely paralyzed to the ground, trembling and asked, "What do you mean by that?" Why don't slaves know? ”

Mingjing patted the extremely angry Mingche, pulled him behind him, and looked at Bai Mei with great disgust and disdain: "Don't say that you are pregnant, how can you successfully hide from everyone and trick you out of the house?" How can I keep you here in the name of raising a baby? How could she deceive Grandma Lu, that old pious woman, into leaving Xie Mansion willingly? First of all, what is your relationship with that old godly woman? Why did you treat Shu'er like that? ”

Bai Mei's face froze, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his expression was full of pain and unwillingness, he actually valued Lin Xinyi's mother and daughter so much, and actually designed to deceive himself with a fake pregnancy! Yesterday's meal must have been drugged by him, so he had that reaction, and the doctor must have colluded, is he so unbearable?

Mingche was about to step forward and kick her again, but Mingjing pulled her and persuaded her: "If the eldest brother kills her, he won't be able to ask anything!" ”

Bai Mei's heart was even more sad. I fell incorrigibly in love with him when I was nineteen years old, and although I did things that were sorry for him, all my actions were just to get his favor. Who knew that after paying so much, in the end, Lin Xinyi's mother and daughter were still like treasures in his heart, and no one could replace them, but he was like a stinger.

She raised her head extremely unwillingly, and looked at Ming Che with a sad face: "Why did the general do this to me? What exactly am I doing wrong? I have been with my grandmother since I was 10 years old, and I have always been loyal to her, and she also regarded me as a sister. We are all motherless people, so Grandma Lu has always regarded the two of us as daughters, the three of us are a family, after the death of the young grandmother, the grandmother regarded me and the eldest lady as close relatives, the general wants to ask us is the relationship, I can tell you clearly, this is the relationship! ”

Mingche closed his eyes and forcibly endured the anger in his heart, listened patiently, Mingjing saw that her answer was exactly the same as that of Granny Lu, remembering that Changsheng said that Granny Lu's death was not suicide in fear of sin, as if she wanted to protect someone, and suddenly understood that the person she wanted to protect could not be anyone other than Baimei.

"Who has been taking care of Shu'er wholeheartedly in the past few years? Didn't the general know that the closest and most trusted people to her were me and the nurse? When Grandma passed away, where were you except for the two of us who were by her side? Miss Shu'er was severely frightened and stimulated, and if it weren't for our comfort and persuasion, she wouldn't know what would have become? Until now, she refuses to say a word to anyone except us, can she still live without our young lady? If we treat her badly, will she be like this? ”

Mingche took a few steps back to hide his face and said nothing, Mingjing was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked her down again, and angrily reprimanded: "You slut still dare to speak cleverly!" How did your sister-in-law treat you and that old pious woman when she was alive? How much do my big brother and I trust you? But for your own selfishness, you take care of Shu'er on the surface, deceive, intimidate and control Shu'er in every possible way, use her to improve your status, and do not hesitate to turn her into a withdrawn, eccentric and cowardly child, if it weren't for Miss Zhou discovering the problem, we don't know what to hide! Shu'er doesn't know what she will do to you! That old pious woman has committed suicide in fear of sin, and who else is your accomplice, hurry up and be honest. Otherwise, you will be worse off than dead today! ”

Bai Mei "ah" hid her face and cried, Granny Lu was actually dead! It seems that she has been protecting herself and has not said anything, maybe she once resented her, but this moment has been relieved.

She wiped away her tears, knowing that she couldn't hide it, and the resentments of the years came to her heart, staring at them with great resentment: "They deserve it!" That slut mother and daughter deserve it! One death and one illness still have to occupy a position firmly, I knew that I should strangle that little slut at that time and let her go to the underworld to accompany her mother! Curse Lin Xinyi never to be reincarnated, curse the little slut not to die well, curse you ten thousand arrows through the heart and corpse wilderness to accompany those two sluts! ”

Mingche was furious, pounced on and kicked angrily, Bai Mei began to curse viciously while rolling, and then she didn't even have the strength to speak, Mingjing saw that she was dying, and pulled Mingche hard to persuade her: "Big brother can't, you can't ask anything if you kill you!" Let's go down and discuss first, and then we'll talk about it when you calm down! ”

Then he called Xie Chengzhong to come in, and the two of them pushed and pulled, laboriously pulling Mingche out, making his henchmen look closely at Bai Mei. Only then did he pull Mingche to his temporary bedroom and persuade him, and it took a long time for Mingche to feel a little smoother, thinking of his deceased wife, but he was still uneasy.

"I also called her mother, I was born and died in those years, and I didn't want to earn some fame and glory for Xie Fu! I worked hard for this and entrusted my wife and daughter to her, but how did she treat your sister-in-law! She forced the whole family to go to the temple with her to burn incense, not to mention, she had to stay for one night, if she hadn't done so much, there would have been a master in the house on the night of your sister-in-law's illness, and she wouldn't have been killed by a little illness! I don't want to say anything, Shu'er was frightened because she lost her mother at a young age, and she was bullied by evil slaves! ”

Speaking of the past, Mingjing was a little ashamed: "It's also bad for me to take good care of my sister-in-law and Shu'er." ”

Mingche shook his head: "You also have your difficulties, you are also controlled by others, you can't watch your own mother being bullied by her." Don't worry, if the eldest brother has a way in the future, he will definitely force her to hand over her aunt's deed of sale. She allowed you to come this time, did she ask you to persuade me again? ”

Mingjing nodded: "If I didn't have this use, how could she be kind to our mother and son?" She sent me firstly because she thought that Baimei was really pregnant, so she sent me to send some supplements in order to win you over, and secondly, she asked me to persuade you to turn back and not to go your own way in order to obey your father's last words, so as not to bring disaster to the Xie family in the end.

Her original words are that looking back is a splendid future, and if she is stubborn, she will die without a place to be buried, not to mention the life or death of her mother and brother. Even Shu'er will be implicated and ruined her life! ”

When Mingche heard the last sentence, he stood up suddenly, thinking of his daughter's delicate pale face and cowardly appearance, and remembering all kinds of love with his deceased wife, his face twitched painfully, he sat down on the chair and hugged his head silently, and asked in a hollow voice for a while: "Mingjing, what do you think?" ”

Mingjing remembered Changsheng's clear eyes and the shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at him firmly: "They can't control you, so they want to hire a wife they like for me, and they want to tie me firmly to them." Big brother, don't worry, I only obey your arrangement, and I will never be controlled by them, didn't my father promise me to make my own decisions about the marriage, just by using this sentence to drag it out! ”

Mingche nodded with a serious expression, and Zheng Se said: "That matter will not last long, it is estimated that we will see each other within the year, your marriage must be delayed first, and then make plans when that matter is settled, don't be innocently implicated." ”

Mingjing was silent for a while and raised his head to look at Mingche: "I didn't think about it so much at all, I just didn't want to live a lifetime with someone I didn't like, and I didn't want another pair of resentful couples in this world." It's just right to have your words, next time my mother will force me to be engaged. I know what to say. Thinking of Changsheng, her heart ached violently, no matter who he married, she wouldn't care, because it had nothing to do with her.

He finally couldn't help but express his inner doubts: "Big brother, you tell me the truth, who do you think has a better chance of winning?" What will you do if he is defeated? I think no matter which chance it is, the surname is always Li in this world, and it has nothing to do with us. I don't have that much ability and ambition, I just want to protect my relatives, and I just hope that the Xie family won't suffer any devastating blows. ”

Mingche sighed. Whispered: "Do you need to ask who has the best chance of winning?" The crown prince is the real eldest son, the prince of the emperor's own title, and most of the forces in the court have fallen to him. Although the King of Qin is brave and fearless, he is always the second son, and most of the people around him are reckless and military generals, and he does not have much power in the court. ”

Mingjing's eyes widened: "Does he want to retreat to Jinyang in case of defeat, support the army, self-respect, or even divide the world in half?" ”

"If not, why can't you hold on to the position of a little county uncle? Although Wugong County is small, it is the place where Shu and Fengxiang must pass through to enter Beijing, if there is a war, it is extremely important, and it is also the birthplace of King Qin, and keeping it there is also related to his face. Mingche remembered his father's last words before he died, and fell silent.

Mingjing said sincerely: "Although I hope that my aunt can get rid of her slavery and become a noble concubine, and I will no longer call myself an old slave to others at such an old age, and I will be able to enter the ancestral grave instead of a mass grave in the future, and I also hope that I can become famous and have the ability to protect my relatives, but I will never force my eldest brother to make a choice with a conscience for my own selfishness."

But I think that Daddy can leave that sentence before he dies, there must be a deep meaning in it, I believe in Daddy, so the eldest brother doesn't have to worry too much, just do what he tells him. But don't worry, now that Miss Zhou is by Shu'er's side, and there is an aunt who is temporarily in charge of Jinshu Courtyard, I will always pay attention to it in the future, and I will never let others hurt Shu'er again. ”

"Don't worry, I will seriously consider this matter, they are already in the same situation, both sides are forcing me to be so urgent, I don't think it will be delayed for too long, and we will see you soon. In short, at this juncture, you remember not to engage for the time being, don't join the office, don't make friends with others, and wait for the overall situation to be decided. I won't miss you. ”

Mingche carefully instructed Mingjing, not wanting to continue to discuss this heavy topic, Mingjing responded one by one, but his mood became inexplicably heavy.

Mingche remembered the relationship with Changsheng and everything she had done for Jinshu, respect and gratitude arose, he took out a few hundred taels of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Mingjing: "Although money is something outside the body, you can also talk about your heart, send one to Miss Zhou for me to show your gratitude, and you can keep the rest for yourself." ”

Mingjing nodded, remembering Bai Mei who was beaten to death, and reminded him: "Bai Mei's affairs must be arranged, don't show any flaws, and hide it from the people in the General's Mansion first." Since they are fighting for you so hard, there must be eyes and ears in the general's mansion, maybe there is still the power of the second brother, you have to be careful, don't let Granny Lu die like I was careless for a while, and let go of the people behind the scenes in vain. ”
