Chapter 14 The Suburbs of Beijing
Who is this person, although Meng Jiao did not specify it, Shen Yunyu could not guess from time to time, Meng Jiao asked Xue Wan and Meng Zhongting if they were husband and wife, and probably began to suspect that Meng Zhongting also played the role of a murderer in this matter.
"As far as I know, the husband and wife are harmonious, but when the second lady Liu Qingqing entered the door, I heard that it was a dowry three times that of the main wife, and all the subsequent ceremonies were all according to the number of ceremonies for the main wife to enter the house."
In this way, Shen Yunxiao has already explained that if it is really a husband and wife who are reconciled, or if they marry Liu Qingqing just for the sake of Chongxi, there is no need to go to such great lengths, and it has even exceeded the number of etiquette that Xue Wan, the main wife, can have, Meng Zhongting and Liu Qingqing must have been involved in the past.
"Thank you Shen Shuai for telling me about this, I didn't intend to mention my mother in front of Shen Shuai, it was a mistake, but Shen Shuai answered my doubts for me."
"Before my father died, he entrusted me with the search for you, and told me about the old things, which was right, but... If it is according to the friendship of the old people, it seems that the little lady should replace me with a brother. ”
Shen Yunxiao looked at Meng Jiao with a smile, the latter blushed slightly for some reason, and waited for a long time, only then did he call Brother Yun Xiao faintly, and he almost immediately pleased Generalissimo Shen, and the little girl's somewhat reluctant call really poked into his heart.
Shen Yunxiao is an insider, Meng Jiao told him everything that can be verified now, when it comes to Lin Po, Meng Jiao is almost a little crying, Shen Yunxiao's expression is cold, he only knows that the wives and concubines of this family often fight with each other, but he can't imagine that there will be a person like Liu Qingqing who is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, using such a vicious method.
And also... The little girl in front of him, how did she survive in the cracks for the past thirteen years, he knew in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it, he only hated that he couldn't find her earlier, and found her when she didn't know the suffering of the world.
It's a pity that God just likes to play tricks on people, and now he has found her, but she has tasted all the warmth and coldness, no matter how much he loves him, he can't make it back.
"If you want to know what happened in Xue Guogong's mansion before, I will take you to the outskirts of Beijing tomorrow, there is a porter in our family's Zhuangzi who was exiled after Xue Guogong's house was raided, he should know what you want to know."
"Thank you Shen... Brother Yun Xiao..."
Meng Jiao also wanted to open her mouth to call him Shen Shuai, but she changed her name in Shen Yunxiao's gentle eyes, she has never had a brother, this brother makes her have a different warmth in her heart, but it is different from the sisterhood with Meng Yuan.
"Gillian, you have to remember, you don't need so many restraints in front of me, if your mother doesn't have an accident, with the friendship between our two families, you should have been pampered by me and grew up, I missed you for three years of suffering, from now on, I will make up for all the favors you deserve."
Meng Jiao's heart was touched when she heard this, and another layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and she stubbornly refused to let it fall, and just wanted to say something, but she heard Shen Yunxiao's more gentle voice coming.
"What I'm talking about is not just the love of the world, what I made up for you was that I should have taken care of you as a sister in the past, and what I will give you in the future is that I am pleased with you, but should give you favor."
Very good, should it be not serious or improper, after Meng Jiao's ears were red, Generalissimo Shen left proudly, but just out of the Qianjing Mansion, his complexion sank.
In front of Meng Jiao, he didn't want to be angry, for fear of frightening his little girl, but now, after the grievances and bullies suffered by Meng Jiao appeared in his mind one by one, Shen Yunxiao couldn't control his killing intent, Liu Qingqing should die, Meng Zhongting was by no means innocent, since the little girl wanted to investigate this matter, he would help her find out to the end.
How Shen Yunxiao arranged it here, others don't know, but it is said that Meng Jiao has almost never closed her eyes since Shen Yunxiao said that she would take her to see the Xue family's gatekeeper on the second day, and the result was that when Generalissimo Shen came over to wait for someone in the early morning of the second day, Meng Jiao was still sleeping on the couch.
"Shen Shuai came over so early, the little lady slept late last night, and she hasn't gotten up yet, so the slave maid went in and called her."
"No need, it doesn't matter if the little girl sleeps a little longer, Ben Shuai also happens to have something to ask Mama, about Gillian."
"Shen Shuai just ask, the slave must know everything."
What Shen Yunxiao asked was the change in the attitude of the Meng family up and down after Meng Jiao sealed the decree, especially Liu Qingqing's attitude, Mama Lin naturally told the truth that since Meng Jiao sealed the decree, the Meng family has been humble and respectful up and down, and the second lady is respectful except for the beginning when she wants to set it off.
"Huh! Sure enough, they are all a group of wall grass, and they have ignored it for thirteen years, and as soon as Gillian gains power, they will rush to the top! ”
"People are sophisticated, that's what it is, slaves and maids are brave, if Shen Shuai wants to help the little lady investigate this matter, it is better to find out Liu Qingqing's life experience first, maybe from here, you can find out what the little lady wants."
Shen Yunxiao nodded, he had already ordered him to go down this morning to thoroughly investigate the family background of all the people in the Meng family, the focus was on this second lady Liu Qingqing of unknown origin, not only to check her family background, but also to find out when she hooked up with Meng Zhongting, if it was before Xue Wan entered the door, the two of them were not clear, then it could almost be concluded that Meng Zhongting could not get rid of Xue Wan's matter.
After finishing speaking, Shen Yunxiao waited for another two hours, and it was almost three o'clock in the day, before the little girl woke up, and heard the people below say that Shen Yunxiao had been waiting for a long time, so she ran out in a panic and ran out, and happened to bump into Shen Yunxiao's gentle eyes.
The little girl hasn't really woken up yet, because she ran this way, her hair was a little scattered, and she looked ignorant, which should be the innocence she should have at her age now, Shen Yunyu gently hooked the corners of her lips, he was really good when he smiled, Meng Jiao couldn't help but be stunned, and after reacting, she hurriedly lowered her head, but the tips of her ears turned red uncontrollably.
"I... I slept late yesterday, and no one woke me up this morning, so I'm late. ”
"Gillian, you don't need to explain this to me, you are here with me, you don't need those red tape, you can be presumptuous, even, more presumptuous."
No one has ever told Meng Jiao like this, for thirteen years, everyone has been telling her to be cautious in her words and deeds, she is indeed trembling every day, Shen Yunyu is the first to tell her that she can be presumptuous, or even more presumptuous, this preference is too obvious, Meng Jiao is still young, so she can't help but want to give it a try.
Meng Jiao was already late to get up, Shen Yunxiao didn't mind being a little later, Mama Lin made a simple breakfast, and sent two people out, Meng Jiao followed Shen Yunxiao out of the house, but when she found that there was only a white horse at the door, she was stunned.
"Only... A horse? ”
"The suburbs of Beijing are far away, so it's faster to ride a horse."
replied very seriously, Meng Jiao was embarrassed to say anything, and when she was hesitating, she was suddenly pulled on the horse by Shen Yunxiao, and before she could exclaim, she had already left the gate of Qianjing Mansion.
A few days ago, there was just a matter of Shen Yuntong giving gifts to the Meng family, and now the two of them are riding together very closely, and the people who come and go on the street have almost decided that this newly sealed lady is the wife of General Shen in the future, and the marriage between the Shen family and the Meng family is also a certainty.
"Brother Yunxiao..."
"Shh~ Talk again when you arrive, it's easy to pour wind on the road."
