Chapter 48: Face
When Meng Yuan walked out of the small courtyard, the whole person looked depressed.
Meng Jiao stood at the gate of the small courtyard, watching Meng Yuan come out, and didn't say anything, just took her hand and walked back slowly.
Liu Qingqing is to blame, and she doesn't plan to give up on this matter.
However, Meng Yuan was the only one she couldn't bear to hurt.
"Yuanyuan..."
"Sister..."
After walking for a while, the two of them spoke at the same time, and they were both stunned for a moment.
"Let's talk first."
"Sister... My mother confessed to it, and I... I know what my mother did was wrong, and my mother asked me to tell you, I hope you can see her face... Protect me..."
Liu Qingqing is a mother after all, although she is greedy for power, but on the day when the building is falling, she still wants to do her best to protect her daughter.
"You don't need her to say, I will protect you thoroughly, Yuanyuan, I didn't grow up at home since I was a child, and the relatives close to me are now only you, from now on, you and I will naturally depend on each other."
Meng Yuan nodded, she was still young after all, and she didn't hear the omissions in Meng Jiao's words.
Liu Qingqing is still there, she, the mother, should be the closest to Meng Yuan, if you want to say that they depend on each other, they should also rely on each other.
It's just that Meng Jiao said it too naturally, and Meng Yuan didn't hear anything wrong.
The two of them went back to the courtyard where Meng Jiao was, Meng Jiao instructed Cui Sleeve and the others to take Meng Yuan to rest first, the little girl has experienced a lot of ups and downs today, and she must have been tired.
After Meng Yuan left, Mama Lin silently followed Meng Jiao into the inner room.
"The little lady still relented and created an illusion for the second lady."
"The matter between me and Liu Qingqing has nothing to do with Yuanyuan, and Yuanyuan doesn't know what Liu Qingqing did to my mother."
The biggest difference between Meng Jiao and Liu Qingqing is that they will not be angry with others.
She will not spare everyone who hurts herself and her loved ones, but she will not casually hurt an innocent person.
"It's just that the slave is worried... Paper can't contain the fire after all, the little lady and Liu Qingqing are naturally endless, if one day, the second lady knows that her mother died in the hands of the little lady, wouldn't it..."
"Hide it for as long as you can, after all, she thinks I'm the cleanest person now."
What Meng Jiao did today was to let Meng Yuan stay by her side with peace of mind.
Fortunately, he not only deceived Meng Yuan, but also deceived Liu Qingqing.
"Since the little lady already has her own considerations, the slave and maid don't say much, the clothes are ready for the little lady, you... It's okay to pass. ”
Mama Lin handed over a tray, and inside was a crow-blue dress.
Meng Jiao looked at it, and was silent for a long time, and finally stood up and put the dress outside.
She didn't let anyone follow, she walked into the already dark cold night alone, and slowly walked to the courtyard where Liu Qingqing was.
The two maids in Liu Qingqing's courtyard have been transferred out, and the entire courtyard is pitch black, only the inner room where Liu Qingqing is still lit by candles.
Meng Jiao stood in the courtyard, looked at the rare bright moon in the sky, breathed a sigh of relief, walked up, and pushed open the door of the main hall.
"Who? How to break in casually... Little lady? ”
Inside, Liu Qingqing heard the movement and hurriedly walked out, and was stunned when she saw Meng Jiao.
At this time, why did Meng Jiao suddenly appear?
"Erniang, are you going to sleep?"
"Huh? Yes... I'm going to sleep, I'm going to..."
"Erniang went to bed so early, aren't you afraid to see my mother in a dream?"
Seeing the poor dagger, Meng Jiao's words successfully made Liu Qingqing's face change.
Only then did she set her eyes on Meng Jiao's body, looking at Meng Jiao's crow-blue clothes, she unconsciously remembered Xue Wan back then, and her favorite was crow-blue.
And also... The brocade box in Meng Jiao's hand?
Liu Qingqing's eyes widened in an instant, that brocade box! Hadn't that brocade box already been thrown away by her? How so?
No! She's going to be calm now, she's going to have to be calm!
"The little lady said this... Why can't the concubine understand? After my sister went, the concubine naturally missed it every day, and every time I thought about it, I felt sad. ”
"It should be grief-stricken, but I don't know, is Erniang grieving that her mother is gone, or is it grieving, and what she said when she went was light?"
Meng Jiao was so ruthless, even aggressive, Liu Qingqing had already sensed that something was wrong.
The current Meng Jiao seems to be very different from usual.
"No evidence, no certificate, the little lady must not be untrustworthy, the concubine body does not say anything else, the top and bottom of the house know that the concubine is very respectful to her sister, after the sister leaves, the concubine body washes her face with tears every day, and even sets up incense in her own yard to worship, the little lady can't wronged a good person without any evidence!"
Liu Qingqing was excited, but Meng Jiao just looked at her talking to herself with cold eyes.
Hearing her say that she was tired, Meng Jiao directly found a chair and sat down, looking at Liu Qingqing and counting her heartfelt feelings here.
"Erniang doesn't need to talk to me about this here, there is one thing, I want to ask Erniang, is the mother-in-law you invited from your hometown the one who delivered my mother in the past?"
Liu Qingqing was tired of crying, and Meng Jiao finally got a chance to speak.
Just this sentence made Liu Qingqing frightened.
"You... What is the little lady talking about, if it was back then... When that mother-in-law said that, her sister died of blood, how dare the concubine use her? Again... Besides, if it was the mother-in-law back then, she should be over the age of old by now, but this mother-in-law is just a year of confusion, which is not right! ”
Liu Qingqing only felt that Meng Jiao happened to ask like this, so she gritted her teeth and didn't admit it.
She felt that Meng Jiao would not be aware of the problem of Ma Pozi's age.
Meng Jiao hooked her lips and chuckled, waiting for Liu Qingqing to calm down again.
She didn't speak, just clapped her hands, and the carved wooden door of the main hall, which was originally closed, opened in response.
Mama Lin was the first to walk in, and behind her, was the Ma Pozi who was pressed and brought in.
Liu Qingqing saw Ma Pozi again, but she was not as calm as she was then, she was almost sure that Meng Jiao should have noticed some secret.
"Ma Fangyan, sixty-five years old, a native of Qingzhou, became a midwife in the year of not being confused, forty-seven years old, delivered to my mother Xue Wan, until this year, exactly thirteen years."
Meng Jiao said the identity of Ma Pozi lightly, and Liu Qingqing turned pale for a moment.
Meng Jiao slowly walked in front of Ma Fangyan, raised her hand and touched her face, and the next moment, with a force, a human skin mask fell in response.
Underneath the mask, there was a face that was too old to look good.
