Chapter 219: Choose One of the Two
Song Qingyi gently followed Meng Yu's stride away from the inquiry hall just now, and asked the doubts in his heart, "You seem to know about Concubine Ning's death very well?" ”
"Hmm!" Meng Yu replied and did not continue.
Song Qingyi mobilized the imagination of her brain and searched for costume dramas in her mind, many of them were lovers who loved each other because a woman was favored by the emperor, and a horizontal knife snatched love, resulting in both being uncute.
This can't be the case in front of you, right? Song Qingyi's watery eyes gurgled and turned, probing Meng Yu's usual cold appearance, without desire.
Just when Song Qingyi lamented how she could encounter such a bloody plot, General Meng Da finally opened her mouth to dispel her imagination and return to reality.
"Concubine Ning is a cousin of my mother, four or five years older than me, she is beautiful and kind-hearted, and since she entered the palace, she has reported good news to her family but not bad news, but the affairs of the harem, even if you don't go in, you know how difficult it is." Meng Yu recounted Concubine Ning's affairs in a bland manner, as if it was a thing that was so old that people were about to forget.
But Song Qingyi heard that only relatives can be like this, sadness is not only tears can be expressed, the real sadness can be heard from the tone.
The two men walked quietly.
Song Qingyi opened her mouth to apologize, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." In fact, she didn't mean to offend other people's sore spots, let alone Meng Yu saved herself through this incident.
"It's fine, I just haven't thought about it in a long time. Hurry back and rest well, it's been a busy day. Meng Yu looked at Song Qingyi, who was full of apologies, and shook his head and said.
"Hmmm! Rest and rest! It's all thanks to you that Kyoto is peaceful now. Song Qingyi stretched out his hand to hold Meng Yu's rough big hand, and rubbed it distressedly, there are too many unsatisfactory things in life, and they have no way to change anything.
Although I don't know what the real Song Qingyi looks like when she hasn't crossed over, as a modern person, she has seen and understood more than the people of Yunguo, and her relatives are an unattainable thing for her.
On the Hou Ye's Mansion that has been waiting for a long time, the lights are bright, and the guards and maids at home are busy with their own affairs, but it also seems that the Hou Ye's Mansion is very lively.
"Master Hou, why hasn't Liyun come back yet?" Song Liyun's mother, Wang held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, looked out of the house with eager eyes, and saw that Hou Ye's face was serious, and she didn't say a word, and asked cautiously.
Hou Ye was angry at what Song Liyun had provoked, even if he loved the Wang family very much, he didn't have a good tone, "Wait a while." ”
Song Liyun didn't have any plans, he always knew it, but how could she be stupid enough to report her sister, the emperor was already ruthless, if he didn't believe that it was a matter of carbon fire, then Song Liyun might cause death.
Hou Ye wanted to take care of the overall situation, but the eldest daughter was not close to him, and the second daughter was not reassuring at all.
How to consolidate the position of the Song family, and how to implement his plan, now it is very good that one of the two daughters can marry General Meng Yu and the other can marry the fifth prince.
Hearing the sound of carriages coming in the courtyard, a guard immediately came in to report, "Master Hou, a carriage has come in." ”
When Wang heard that a carriage was coming in, he immediately stood up and said anxiously to Hou Ye: "Yun'er is back?" ”
The guard was a little embarrassed, looking at the Wang family and the other women, he had to report again, "Mrs. Hui, it seems that it is not Miss Yun who is back, but the eldest lady who is back." ”
Hearing this, the Wang family was shocked and looked at Hou Ye in shock, "Yun'er didn't come back?" And she's still in the palace? "Fall in love with the literary network
Hearing that it was Song Qingyi who came back, but the second daughter didn't come back, Hou Ye put down his hand that was standing with his hands down, frowning, "You sit down first, I'll go out and have a look." ”
"Yes, Master Hou, you hurry up and ask Qingyi, why didn't Yun'er come back with her?" Wang sat down on the chair, holding the armrests tightly with both hands, for fear that her daughter's life would be in danger, and she would not live.
Song Qingyi helped Meng Yu's men get out of the carriage, thinking that every time his father saw him, he looked flattering, who knows what the purpose was, and Meng Yu didn't seem to like talking to Hou Ye very much.
Song Qingyi tidied up the folds on her skirt and stood up before saying, "Why don't you go back first!" I'll just walk in myself. ”
"Well, you have a good rest, I'll come and pick you up tomorrow and go out fishing together." Meng Yu was not polite, and every time he saw Hou Ye talking, he was also very troubled.
"Fishing? Where to? Meng Yu said that he would take him to fish tomorrow, which really shocked Song Qingyi, but he didn't expect the dignified general to have the leisure and elegance of fishing.
Meng Yu was amused by Song Qingyi's surprised expression, and pretended to be mysterious: "Go back!" I'll tell you tomorrow. ”
The conversation between the two was very comfortable, and Song Qingyi didn't go on to ask questions, but lost her sense of mystery, and nodded in response: "Okay, then I'll wait for you tomorrow." ”
Meng Yu's dark eyes were full of expression, and he watched Song Qingyi walk in before turning to leave.
Song Qingyi happened to meet Hou Ye halfway through, and before he could speak, he heard, "Yi'er, are you back?" Didn't the guards say that General Meng came back with you? ”
"General Meng went back first, he still has something to do." Song Qingyi looked at his father who was looking around indifferently, and said a word.
"Okay, as long as you're okay, it's okay." Hou Ye retracted his gaze, immediately smiled happily, and pandered to his eldest daughter.
"Daddy, if it's okay, my daughter will go to rest." Song Qingyi pretended to yawn, and her tone was much weaker.
Hou Ye suppressed the words in his heart, and followed Song Qingyi's words, "That Yi'er hurry back to the room to rest, I'm tired for a day, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare dinner for you and send it to your room in a while." ”
"Thank you, Daddy." Song Qingyi didn't bother to say more to the Hou Ye who looked like an amiable and good father in front of him, and left without looking back after making a courtesy.
Wang saw that only one person came back, and said anxiously: "Hou Ye, is Yun'er back?" ”
Hou Ye shook his head, in fact, he didn't even ask, for fear that he would upset Song Qingyi. Looking at her like this, there should be nothing wrong, that is, Song Liyun's report was unsuccessful, if Fang Cai himself mentioned Song Liyun, his eldest daughter might have to look at each other coldly.
Master Hou and the Wang family sat in the hall, without saying a word, and sat quietly.
Just after a stick of incense was burned, Song Liyun ran in, and when she saw Hou Ye and Wang, she cried: "Dad, mother, I'm back, it's all Song Qingyi's fault." ”
"Yun'er, what have you been wronged by, tell your mother, your mother is in charge of you." Wang took his daughter's hand distressedly, looked at the Hou Ye who couldn't speak, and said aggrievedly.
"Mother, it's obvious that there is a problem with the hot pot made by Song Qingyi, and she also said that I don't understand the suffocation caused by carbon fire, and it is not her fault at all." Song Liyun took Wang's hand and cried forgively.
"Yun'er, if you were asked to choose one of the Five Princes and Meng Yu now, who would you choose?" Hou Ye was disturbed by the sound of mother and daughter crying in his ears, and asked in a deep voice.
