25. Borrow people's hands
Suspicion is suspicion, when Lu asked Hu to retreat, Meng Qingyun didn't say anything.
She only beckoned Green Smoke over and whispered, "Send someone to keep an eye on Hu Yi." ”
Green Smoke comprehended, without attracting attention, slipped out and arranged quickly, and then came back as if nothing had happened.
The old lady cried so much that her heart and intestines were broken.
Lu Shi had to comfort: "Old lady, don't be too sad, the matter has come to this, only wait for the news from Yinan, we always live to see people and corpses." ”
Even if Mengjin resigns and mourns, it is also an official body, and it will definitely be recovered after three years, because of the civil unrest and died in Yinan, the Yinan government has an unshirkable responsibility, and it must be to get his body, otherwise not to mention Mengshi, it is the superiors of Yizhou, the government of Laizhou and Kyoto, they must be held accountable and questioned.
Under the repeated comfort of Lu and Sandalwood, the old lady could only temporarily collect her tears, but she was crying so hard that she couldn't support it, and Sandalwood helped her to the inner room to rest.
Lu Shi said to Bai Rongxin: "The family is unfortunate and has suffered such a catastrophe. ”
Bai Rongxin said: "The Yizhou transit envoy is a good friend of me, and I immediately wrote to ask him to help find someone. ”
The primary responsibility of the transshipment department is to transport water, and there are many experienced sailors under the transshipment department, and they are experts in this kind of thing when they go down to the river to catch people.
Lu Shi bowed in gratitude: "Thank you, uncle." ”
Meng Qingyun also said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, uncle." ”
Seeing her pear blossom with rain, Lu Shi hugged her shoulder and said, "Poor child, why are you so miserable." ”
Meng Qingyun took advantage of the situation and leaned on her shoulder and sobbed.
Meng Huiyun looked pitiful, and couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
This scene is really warm, as if everyone has forgotten that they fought in this place only yesterday.
The Lu family was just polite to save face, but she didn't expect Meng Qingyun to cry in her arms for so long, so she could only endure the impatience in her heart, and said to Bai Rongxin: "I have the intention to stay with my uncle for a few more days, but I see that my uncle's business is really busy, so I have to ask, my uncle has already set a return date?" ”
Bai Rongxin said: "There are some business matters on Jinghu North Road, which should have been dealt with a long time ago, but after receiving the news of the death of my sister, I naturally followed this major matter first, and now my little sister has fallen into the ground, and the things on the side of Jinghu can't wait. ”
Lu said: "Then I will arrange a banquet tomorrow and practice it for my uncle." ”
Bai Rongxin waved his hand and said: "The house is in an eventful autumn, I see that the old lady and the eldest lady are also very tired, and some business partners have agreed to practice for me tomorrow, so I won't trouble the eldest lady." ”
Lu said: "How can you be so hasty, if your uncle is busy during the day, then arrange a family banquet at night, just our own family, cheap and brisk, and please uncle don't shirk." ”
This is all a due gift for the exchange of courtesies between relatives, and Bai Rongxin accepted it with a few polite words.
Meng Qingyun waited for them to finish speaking, then wiped his tears and said, "I can't bear my uncle." ”
Bai Rongxin stroked her hair.
Meng Qingyun said to the Lu family: "I'll send my uncle back to his residence." ”
Lu Shi naturally had no choice, and nodded in agreement.
Meng Qingyun and Bai Rongxin walked out of Le Shou Tang together, and the Lu family, Meng Zhi, Wang Ziwei, and Meng Huiyun looked at their backs.
Meng Huiyun suddenly sighed: "Yuan Niang is also pitiful." ”
Lu Shi turned to look at her, and saw that the maid behind her was still holding the begonia flower, and couldn't help but slander in her heart: You still say that people are pitiful, and you yourself are stupid.
She is the head of the house, there is no one with her in and out of the entire Meng Mansion, Chen Erlang sent flowers to Meng Qingyun, and was transferred to Meng Huiyun by the latter, someone had already secretly told her.
She was also very dissatisfied with Chen Erlang's behavior, and she had to turn around to complain to Mrs. Yongkang Hou.
The night was low, the lights were on, and when they came out of Le Shou Hall, Meng Qingyun and Bai Rongxin realized that it was already night. For the sake of Mengjin, everyone even missed dinner.
Meng Qingyun paid attention to the road he was passing by, and seeing that there was no one around at this time, he approached Bai Rongxin and said in a low voice: "Is there anyone around my uncle who knows martial arts?" ”
"Huh?" Bai Rongxin was inexplicable, "Why do you suddenly ask this?" ”
Meng Qingyun said: "I have a big rebellious suspicion in my heart. ”
Bai Rongxin stood still and stopped in place.
Meng Qingyun waved his hand at the others, and the servants and maids understood and dispersed.
Meng Qingyun said: "I suspect that my father had an accident in Yinan, it may not be an accident, I am afraid it is man-made." ”
Bai Rongxin's eyebrows raised in surprise.
"Uncle, don't be surprised, listen to me. First, when my mother died, I had a high fever for three days, during which I was not completely unconscious, and one time the eldest lady came to see me, she once coveted my mother's dowry before the bed, and she had a sentence that impressed me, 'A girl, her father is far away, her mother has died, birth, old age, sickness and death, not all in the palm of my hand'. This already reflects her ambition to seize the private property of the second house and control my life and death. This makes me wonder, even if my mother dies, I still have my father, my father is still an official, how can she do whatever she wants? ”
"Second, the Hu Yigun she sent to report to her father, her job is to nurse the hospital, and she works as an errand in the stable every day, so she always doesn't have to go out to run errands, why did she suddenly hand over the errand to Laizhou to such a person this time? I sent someone to inquire about it, this Hu Yigun once served as a soldier and fought against the Japanese invaders, and his military force was outstanding, and those who had been on the battlefield were not afraid of life and death, and were the most ruthless. ”
"Third, Hu Yigun just stated what happened in the hall, and his words were meticulous, without the slightest loophole, as if he had rehearsed many times in advance, which also had to make me suspicious."
Bai Rongxin listened to her analysis one by one, and couldn't help frowning: "These doubts of yours seem to be some coincidences, but there is no real evidence, besides, according to what you said, if your father's matter is really man-made, isn't it the eldest lady's mastermind?" She is a woman, can she have such guts? ”
Meng Qingyun said: "When my mother is still alive, she dares to encroach and embezzle the private property of the second house again and again; and dare to put money outside. Uncle is also a person in the business field, how can there be a good person who puts money in print? In order to force people to repay their debts, it is not new to make people bankrupt their families and sell their wives and daughters. This eldest lady in my family, even if her subordinates really died, it is not impossible. ”
Capital has always been dirty and bloody, and in her previous life, as the heir to a multinational chaebol, she knew this best.
Although Bai Rongxin did not refute, he looked at his expression and was more incredulous.
Meng Qingyun rolled his eyes, grabbed his arm, and said coquettishly: "Good uncle, these doubts are like a thorn in my heart, and I will be difficult to let go of if I don't get to the bottom of it." You will lend me a few men and quietly take that Hu a shot and interrogate him clearly. If it's really just me who is too careful, then it's the best. But on the other hand, if my suspicions are true, but you and I are ignorant and inactive, what kind of dangerous situation will I face when you are gone? ”
Bai Rongxin's expression froze.
"Not bad. The son of a daughter, sitting in the hall, taking precautions, is always right. ”
