Jiayin said: "Then since we don't watch, don't talk here, his heart, it's not good for them to find out." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, and the two of them turned around and left.

When he came to the medical hall, the servants who stayed behind had already notified the county Ya Meng that Master Meng had come for treatment, and Lao Langzhong had been waiting there for a long time. saw Meng Tianchu and the two come over to accompany the sin.

Meng Tianchu briefly explained his intentions, and Lao Lang hurriedly welcomed them into the VIP room and sat down. After Lao Langzhong checked Zuo Jiayin's pulse, he said, "Congratulations to Madame." ”

Zuo Jiayin blushed and said, "What do you say, sir?" Where does the joy come from? ”

Lang Zhong said: "I have been practicing medicine for more than 40 years, and there will be no mistake. What you give is the happy pulse. ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he saw Zuo Jiayin's shyness, and immediately understood what was going on, and happily stood up from the stool and said, "What does Mr. mean?" ”

Lang Zhong stroked his beard with a smile and said, "It means that you are going to be a father." ”

Meng Tianchu was about to hug Zuo Jiayin happily, and found that he was in the medical hall, and it was really not good for so many people to watch

Lang Zhong showed Zuo Jiayin a few pairs of tires, and then Meng Tianchu happily took Zuo Jiayin and walked back.

On the way, Zuo Jiayin said: "I'm ahead of Sister Fengyi, isn't it good?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "What is this? Is there a saying that giving birth to a child is first-come, first-served, there is nothing. Feng Yi wouldn't mind. ”

The carriage was walking on the road, and Meng Tianchu lifted the curtain and looked out of the car. The car passed by the alley they had just passed. Meng Tianchu deliberately looked at the small courtyard, the door was still closed. Meng Tianchu thought, I don't know if he has left or is still locked in that room.

After the family reported the good news and celebrated, according to the good place, Meng Tianchu and the four of them came to Miao's house at ten o'clock at dusk.

The two children had not yet been in the field, so the black and white strips of cloth hanging in the yard had not been removed. It still looks a little sad. The housekeeper welcomed Meng Tianchu and the four of them to the hall, saying that the master would arrive later, and after letting the maid serve tea, he was waiting on the side.

After a while, Miao Zhe, the eldest lady, and the fourth lady all came, and after everyone saw them one by one, Miao Zhe said: "I'm going to bother Master Meng and a few others again tonight." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "You're welcome. ”

This is the second lady's daughter and son-in-law also walked in, and the son-in-law is fine. politely greeted Meng Tianchu and the others, and the daughter walked to the chair without squinting and sat down, just called her father and aunt, and she didn't look at the fourth lady.

Meng Tianchu saw it in his eyes. said: "Why didn't you see the second lady and the third lady?" ”

Before Miao Zhe could speak, his arrogant daughter spoke: "Yo." It's hard to let all of us come to eat with you, my mother can't come if she is not feeling well. ”

Miao Zhe was furious and said, "Miao Rou, don't be so unreasonable to the guests. ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly said: "Master Miao doesn't have to be like this, I'm just asking." ”

Miao Zhe said: "She only had Miao Jue when she was ten years old, so our family has always doted on her. ”

Miao Rou snorted and did not speak.

Miao Zhe continued: "Ling'er doesn't care about her, just let her go, Xiaoxiao is also busy, I'll come over in a while." ”

Miao Rou said: "In the past, when my mother was the housekeeper, I didn't see her so busy, who is pretending to be it now." ”

The eldest lady said: "Is it pretending, nor is it what you say as a junior, you are only allowed to say it this time, if you talk like this next time, I will naturally not spare you." ”

When Miao Rou saw the eldest lady say this, she immediately stopped talking.

At this time, the third lady walked in and said with a smile, "The meal is ready, everyone can go to the dining room and take a seat." ”

When Miao Zhe heard this, he quickly stood up and beckoned everyone to go to the dining room to eat.

Meng Tianchu looked at the third lady and found that her expression was the same as before, without any abnormality, and she still had a calm expression from time to time, smiling, and seeing everyone the same.

Meng Tianchu walked to the door, and when he passed by the third lady, he suddenly said, "What about Miao Jue?" ”

The third lady smiled and said, "Let the maid take her to the room for dinner." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Let's let him eat with us, I like this kid a lot." ”

The third lady hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said to the maid beside her: "Go and call the young master out, just say that Master Meng wants to see him." ”

When the maid heard this, she immediately went and called. Miao Zhe said: "When did Master Meng know about my Miao Jue? Is that the day? Miao Zhe naturally refers to the day when Miao Jueniang was beaten with family methods on the day of the earth.

Meng Tianchu said: "No, one day he refused to go to the private school, and it happened that we met, so he took our carriage, and we took him there, and he was afraid that Mr. Di would punish him." ”

Miao Zhe laughed and said, "This kid is like this, a domestic tiger and a cat." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Very principled one

I like boys like that. ”

Miao Zhe was naturally happy when he saw Meng Tianchu praising his son. At this time, Miao Zhe and the maid came over together, and as soon as they saw Meng Tianchu and them, they happily ran over, saw them one by one, and then walked to Meng Tianchu's side and said, "Brother Meng, do you remember what I said about inviting you to eat plum blossom cakes, so you came to me?" ”

Everyone was happy when they heard it, Miao Rou didn't expect her younger brother to have such a good relationship with this master, so she also said happily: "Today is my father's invitation, next time you will invite you." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Next time, I can't invite together, so I'm not at a loss?" ”

Everyone smiled, Meng Tianchu took Miao Jue's hand and followed everyone to the dining room.

After taking a seat, the third lady carefully arranged Miao Jue next to the eldest lady, but Miao Jue wanted to sit with Meng Tianchu, pouting and looking very unhappy, Miao Zhe asked him and Meng Tianchu to sit, and the third lady was about to stop it, Miao Zhe spoke: "It's rare for the child to be happy, he hasn't been so happy for several days, let him be." ”

The third lady hurriedly explained: "I'm also afraid that he will be naughty and make the guests eat badly." ”

—

Miao Jue said: "I am obedient. Sanniang rest assured. "Finished. happily sat down beside Meng Tianchu.

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "How is Mr. treating you now?" ”

Miao Jue said: "Mr. has not punished me since that day, I am still thinking, that Mr. must be my brother's friend." Otherwise, how can you spare my land? ”

Meng Tianchu deliberately looked at the third lady opposite him, and found that she didn't have any expression, and thought, you still pretend to be quite like. So he said, "Of course, I am not good friends with that gentleman, but I think I will visit him often in the future." Naturally, you will get acquainted. ”

When the third lady saw Meng Tianchu say this, she just looked at him, but still didn't have any expression.

After eating, Miao Jue asked the maid to go to sleep because she had to go to private school the next day, and Meng Tianchu and others also went to the fourth lady's building. So when I got upstairs, it was almost a shift.

The third lady and the housekeeper followed Meng Tianchu and the four of them upstairs, and then the third lady checked the haunted room and looked at the door lock. Then he took off the key and said, "I will hand over the key to Master Meng for safekeeping tonight." This is also what the eldest lady means. ”

Meng Tianchu took the key, nodded, and said, "It's okay to put it here for me." Go and rest, you've had a busy day. Meng Tianchu's words have a special meaning.

The third lady listened, nodded, and said, "It's not in the way, I've already asked the kitchen to bring you supper in two hours, and I was negligent last night, which really snubbed everyone." ”

The housekeeper said, "I am in the gatehouse tonight with the night watchman, and Master Meng can call me if he has any orders." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "Then you all go and rest, we don't need anything here for the time being." ”

After the third lady and the housekeeper left, Meng Tianchu and the others walked into the house, and the third lady in the house thought that someone had already brought the brazier early, so the room was very warm.

Murong Zhenxue praised: "It seems that this third lady is still easy to get started with this master." Judging from today's situation, I found that Mi Oh Ah Master and the eldest lady are still very satisfied, but she took pity on the second lady, thinking that she was sent to the cold palace from then on, and now the child is also let the third lady take it, which is really pitiful. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "When I accompanied Jiayin to the medical place today, I saw a person. ”

Murong Zhenxue and the others all knew about Zuo Jiayin's pregnancy, and when they saw Meng Tianchu say this, Murong Zhenxue asked, "Who did you see?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "Could it be the third lady?" ”

Murong Xue said, "What's so strange about this. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "It's really not strange to see her, it's strange that she is with another person." ”

Murong Yuxue said, "Who?" ”

Before Meng Tianchu could say anything, he heard a slight knock outside the door, and Murong Yuxue quickly stood up and opened the door, and there was a person standing at the door

The second lady seemed to have just woken up, her hair was just combed casually, and she was not dressed carefully, thinking that in the past few days, this woman has been physically and mentally exhausted.

Meng Tianchu stepped forward, and Murong Yuxue welcomed the second lady into the room, and the second lady said, "Hurry up and close the door." ”

Murong Yuxue listened, and after closing the door, the second lady looked at the people in the room, and Meng Tianchu motioned for the second lady to sit down and talk.

After the second lady sat down, she said, "I came to find Master Meng because I have something to say. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "The second lady has something to say. ”

The second lady looked at the other three people and said, "I just want to say it to Master Meng alone." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Second lady don't mind, you can rest assured that none of them will say a word." ”

The second lady hesitated for a moment, and then took out something from her arms, Meng Tianchu took it, and it was actually a sweat towel for women, and the embroidery was very delicate

A small white flower, although I can't tell what kind of flower it is, is very good like suona. The second lady said, "This is the third lady's thing. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, thinking that when he saw the third lady for the first time, he saw her holding such a sweat towel in her hand, in fact, it is not surprising that women use this. The preferences of the three ladies on weekdays are indeed somewhat similar. So he said, "Second lady, what do you want to say?" ”

The second lady said, "Don't you see anything? ”

Meng Tianchu took a good look at it and shook his head.

The second lady pointed to the little flower and said, "This flower is called Mantuoluo Flower, I don't know if Master Meng has heard of it?" ”

Meng Tianchu listened. I was secretly shocked. I thought to myself, I had heard of this plant, this is not an ordinary flower. But it's a very poisonous poison. Why did the second lady show this bamboo mandala sweat towel to herself, and said that it was the third lady's, what was her intention?

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "I heard my insiders mention it before, I don't know what the second lady means?" ”

The second lady sneered and said, "This is what my child put on me when he came to my room to see me yesterday. He had been living with the third lady Xiaoxiao, I guessed it was hers, and after asking, it was confirmed. I have been with my lord for almost 20 years, and I have been studying medicine with him, although I am not as good as my lord and eldest lady, and ordinary tricks are not difficult for me. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "What? It's just a flower, nothing special. ”

The second lady said: "I just want to tell you that the third lady is smart by nature. When she came to Miao's house, she didn't know how to use medicine, she naturally likes to learn, and she is probably not under me now, doesn't everyone suspect that I am a murderer? Why don't you think about it. If you want to kill the child, the child will cry. Why didn't anyone hear the two children when they died? Didn't you stun the child and then hang it on the beams? ”

Meng Tianchu thought that the second lady's guess was not wrong, he had such a speculation before, but he had checked the child's body and did not find any foreign objects.

Meng Tianchu said: "The second lady means that the third lady killed those two children?" ”

The second lady sneered, stood up, walked to the window, pushed open the window, looked at the courtyard, Meng Tianchu also followed, the second lady said: "Eighteen years ago, I was only sixteen years old, I married into the Miao family, and I have been breaking my heart for this family. ”

Meng Tianchu looked at the second lady with a lonely look on her face, and said: "Once the matter is clear, everyone will no longer misunderstand you, after all, you and Master Miao have also had a husband and wife relationship for so many years." ”

The second lady looked at Meng Tianchu and said: "Men always like young people, and I am already old, where can he see the old man crying, he can only see the new person laughing." ”

Meng Tianchu didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to stand aside, the second lady looked at the courtyard for a long time and didn't speak, and after a while, she said: "Actually, the third lady is the smartest." I'm almost ten years older than her, and I'm not as smart as her. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "The third lady is indeed a talented and intelligent person. ”

The second lady nodded, took out the sweat towel again, handed it to Meng Tianchu, and then said, "Keep it, maybe one day you will come in handy, there is one more thing I want to tell you, originally this is the biggest secret of our Miao family, but today I still have to tell you." ”

Meng Tianchu felt that the second lady's behavior today was a little abnormal, and he was worried that something would happen if she didn't think about it, so he enlightened: "The second lady still has to open some, there will always be a day when things will come to light, don't think about it like this." ”

The second lady ignored Meng Tianchu's words, but said, "Do you know? When I entered the Miao family, the eldest lady was pregnant. ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he was very surprised, because he had heard Miao Zhe say before that the eldest lady could not have children, how could she be pregnant again?

Meng Tianchu said: "But Master Miao didn't say..."

The second lady closed the window, walked to the brazier and sat down, and Meng Tianchu followed and sat down.

The second lady said: "How else to say that it is the biggest secret of our Miao family? Ten years ago, one of our subordinates didn't know where to know, so he told outsiders, and then it didn't take long for that subordinate to die, in fact, he was still an old subordinate who had been in our Miao family for many years. Since then, all the subordinates of our Miao family have changed, and only the housekeeper remains. So no one knows about that anymore. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "What about the eldest lady's child?" ”

The second lady said: "Died, born dead, I was pregnant with the eldest lady almost at the same time, we were very happy at that time, it was originally the eldest lady in the housekeeping, it was for this reason, the lord was afraid that the lady would be tired, so he asked me to take care of the housekeeper, knowing that something happened a few days ago." Meng Tianchu asked, "How did you die?" ”
