As soon as the Lu family came, Meng Zhi, Wang Ziwei and Meng Huiyun suddenly had a backbone, and their backs were straight.

Meng Jin smiled faintly and said: "The eldest lady is full of energy, and it seems that she is not seriously ill. ”

Lu Shi sneered: "I'm not seriously ill, and the second uncle is still going to deprive me of the right to be a housekeeper; If I am very sick, will I have to be left to the flesh of men? ”

Meng Jin pursed his lips and shook his head: "This is the opposite." Where is your eldest lady, who is mermaid meat, obviously my lonely and helpless mother. ”

He turned his head and glanced at Meng Qingyun lovingly.

Meng Qingyun didn't really want to cooperate with him to be pitiful, so he could only lower his head and make a quail shape.

Lu Shi said angrily: "She has your father as a backer, and a rich uncle to support her, she is even more majestic than me, a big lady!" ”

Meng Jin smiled, relaxed his body, leaned back in his chair, and said leisurely: "The battle of words and tongues is not interesting. I just want to ask the eldest lady one thing, how did she collude with the Yongkang Marquis Mansion and plot to send my Yuan Niang to the Lu Palace? ”

Lu was taken aback.

This, how is this not played according to common sense?

Why did you suddenly get involved with this again?

She looked left and right jealously, and the old lady, Meng Zhi, Wang Ziwei, Meng Huiyun and others were all at a loss.

"What is the second uncle talking nonsense, I don't understand."

Lu Shi didn't admit it, but in his heart, he had already started to think about it, and he thought of a hundred ways to deal with it in an instant.

But Meng Jin's reaction once again exceeded her expectations.

"Okay, since the eldest lady doesn't understand, let's change the topic."

Meng Jin gently lifted the first thing and said, "I heard that the eldest lady put the money outside, I don't know if I can stop it?" ”

Lu Shi was startled again and almost jumped up.

"Second Uncle be cautious! It's against the law, I ...... How could I do it! ”

Meng Jin said: "Really? This kind of thing can't be kept secret, and you can find out if you ask someone to go out and check it. ”

Lu gritted his teeth, not wanting to admit it.

The old lady stared at her questioningly: "Didn't you tell you to stop?" What, are you still doing it? ”

Lu Shi immediately shouted: "I said earlier, it was Mrs. Yongkanghou's pick, I just put the money once or twice, I just want to supplement the family." After my mother reminded me last time, I had already stopped doing it. ”

She glared at Meng Jin sadly: "I don't know where the second uncle heard the rumors, so he came to question the family." ”

Meng Jin smiled faintly and said, "Oh? It turned out that the eldest lady had already repented in time. Then this one, let's also reveal it for the time being. Let's move on to the next one. ”

Lu's heart was beating wildly, every time he mentioned a fatal matter, but he didn't pursue it, what did he mean.

Meng Jin didn't give her a chance to breathe, and said, "Now that my brother is in Beijing, I shouldn't need so much money from my family." Dare to ask the eldest lady, when will the things and silver owed to our second room be returned? ”

Lu Shi narrowed his eyes: "What is it?" What silver? ”

Meng Qingyun, who had been silent all the time and was like a well-behaved little daughter, finally spoke.

"The eldest lady is really a noble person who forgets things, is the IOU signed last time forgotten again?"

She took a folded piece of paper from her purse, held it between her index and middle fingers, and shook it in the air.

Lu Shi suddenly changed color.

Meng Zhi, Wang Ziwei and Meng Huiyun were already confused by this series of questions.

Meng Huiyun said: "Mother, what's going on?" ”

Lu Shi suppressed the panic in his heart and said to the three of them: "You go out first, I will discuss things with your uncle." ”

The three of them looked at Meng Jin on the other side.

Meng Jin didn't object, just bowed his head and drank tea.

Wang Ziwei first stood up with her lower back, turned her head and saw that her husband was still in a daze, and said in a low voice: "Don't leave yet?" ”

Meng Zhi woke up like a dream, and then stood up.

Meng Huiyun was unwilling, but Lu Shi glared at her again, so she had to stand up and reluctantly follow her brother and sister-in-law out.

The old lady had a premonition that the situation behind her was not good, so she also let out an "ouch", held her forehead and said, "My body can't stand sitting for a long time." Sandalwood, take me into the house and lie down. ”

"Hey."

Sandalwood hurriedly pointed to a sturdy mother-in-law, picked up the old lady, and went to the bedroom.

The rest of the maidservants and maids are also very eye-catching, walking and slipping.

In the end, only Meng Jin, Meng Qingyun, and Lu were left in the main hall, as well as the loyal servants of both sides, Asakusa, Zijing, and Luo's mother, as for Xiu'er, Shimo and others, they also withdrew into the courtyard.

The tearing is not about the number of people, but about the momentum.

Lu Shi didn't pay attention to his face anymore, and shouted directly: "What does the second uncle mean by being forced to force each other like this?" ”

Meng Jin threw the tea cup in his hand on the table, and spilled a table of tea.

"I should ask the eldest lady, what do you mean by making waves like this?"

"I'm making waves?" Lu Shi laughed angrily, "What I do, which one is not for this family?" ”

Meng Jin sneered: "Oh? I didn't know that the eldest lady had such a hard work. ”

Lu said: "The second uncle is not at home, so he naturally doesn't know the inside story of the family. Gongzhong has long eaten food, and I can't make ends meet, I will be in charge of the house again, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. At the beginning, the uncle of the Bai family and Yuan Niang forced me to sign an IOU, and the silver and things were all to cope with the personal exchanges in the public school, and they never entered my pocket. ”

"Speaking of the expenses of the big officials in Beijing, how much entertainment he has when he walks outside, I am a woman in the house, and I am far away in the south, how can I know? Naturally, I can only give as much as he wants. ”

"How much private property does the long house have, doesn't the second uncle know? How much money can I have to supply? If you don't want to make money, how can you cope with the food and drink expenses of the family? ”

The more she talked, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help crying.

"I also know that I was deceived by the Yongkang Hou Mansion and almost did something sorry for Yuan Niang. But at that time, second uncle, your life and death were unknown, and the big officials were in prison again, I panicked so much that I had no master, so I could only grab a life-saving straw and not let go. ”

"Yuan Niang is also a child of the Meng family, and she won't watch our family die, right?"

She looked at Meng Qingyun crying, her face full of pleading.

Meng Qingyun's heart hardened, and he asked directly: "Why didn't the eldest lady send her daughter to King Lu's mansion?" ”

Lu choked.

Meng Jin sneered: "And one last thing, I don't know what deep hatred I have with the eldest lady, and I want to send Hu Yigun to kill my life?" ”

Lu Shi was shocked, and his face turned pale.

"Hu's shot, it really fell into your hands......"

Meng Jin said expressionlessly: "He has already confessed in person, and he was instructed by you." If it weren't for this handle in hand, how could my good brother risk being ridiculed by the world and come forward to be the initiator of the impeachment of King Lu. Being a treacherous villain is much lighter than murdering your own brother. ”

The breath that Lu Shi was holding back finally let out, and he collapsed on the chair.
