Chapter 174: Nobleman
Meng Xilan turned her head to look at Meng Xiqiao, who couldn't stop crying, and a trace of guilt welled up in her heart. It was all because of her kindness, the family style of the Meng family, and Xi Qiao's marriage were all ruined by Meng Xiyue's unauthorized behavior.
"What's the use of crying? You are so sad, it will only make Meng Xiyue more proud! Meng Xilan slowly got up and said.
Meng Xiqiao paused slightly, looked up at her and said, "Sister......"
"Wash your face and cheer up. Anyway, you are the future daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion, the wife that Song Wenyu is about to marry. ”
Meng Xilan originally wanted to comfort her, but she felt that at a time like this, no matter how nice she was, it was useless to say anything. It's better to find a suitable opportunity for her to vent her anger......
After she washed her face, Meng Xilan took her to Meng Xiyue's room.
Xu was angry in her heart, and as soon as Meng Xiqiao entered the house, she went straight to Meng Xiyue, and then slapped her in the face hard, with great force. Before Meng Xiyue could sit up and react, Meng Xiqiao slapped her backhand again: "Slut, why are you seducing the second son?" Why? ”
The corners of Meng Xiyue's mouth that had healed slightly were broken and bleeding again.
Meng Xiqiao was just about to open her mouth to scold again, but Meng Xiyue raised her head and glared at her viciously: "If you dare to hit me again, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life." ”
Meng Xiqiao was taken aback by her words, and slowly withdrew her hand: "What are you majestic?" With a concubine born to an aunt of yours, you dare to threaten me? ”
Meng Xiyue's face was as painful as a fire, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but sneer: "That's right, you are all baby bumps born in the main room, and I'm just a worthless concubine." However, whether I can be worthy of the second son or not, I can't tell you! If the second son doesn't like me, then how can I have his child in my belly? ”
When Meng Xiqiao heard this, she trembled with anger, pointed at her and scolded: "You are talking nonsense! The second son won't like a lowly person like you! ”
She couldn't wait to rush over and tear Meng Xiyue's face, but she didn't dare to do it. She didn't know what she was afraid of, maybe she was afraid that what Meng Xiyue had just said was true.
Meng Xiyue took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth, then threw the handkerchief heavily on the ground, and then said, "I'll tell you the truth." The second son is very concerned about the child in my womb. ”
Meng Xiqiao's silver teeth gritted: "So what, Zuo is just a concubine like you." ”
An inexplicable smile welled up on Meng Xiyue's face: "As long as I, a mother, have the ability, even if I am a concubine, I can be pampered in the same way." ”
Meng Xilan stood a few steps away, watching Meng Xiqiao question Meng Xiyue, but Meng Xiyue was obviously on guard, no matter how she pressed to ask, she just refused to say how she was involved with Song Wenyu.
She thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't think of any clue.
Suddenly, Meng Xilan turned around and glanced at the room, and found that all the maids around Meng Xiyue had changed their faces, and couldn't help asking, "Where are the two maids who served you?" ”
Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said lightly: "They were all redeemed by their families. ”
"Really?" Meng Xilan looked at her suspiciously.
The maids in the Meng family's mansion have all been rigorously selected, and they must be of a clean background, and they must have a deed of sale, and the term is at least ten years. The two maids beside Meng Xiyue only entered the mansion a few years ago. According to the deed of sale, if you leave the house early, it will cost a lot of silver.
Meng Xilan motioned to Zhulu to help Meng Xiqiao go outside to slow down, while she herself walked over, sat next to Meng Xiyue's bed, looked at her face, and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”
Meng Xiyue looked directly into her gaze and replied, "Sister doesn't feel pain?" You'll find out if you have a chance.
Sure enough, there is a backer, and it is really polite to speak.
"I didn't do anything to get beaten. Everything today was brought by my sister herself, and I can't complain about others. Meng Xilan straightened the folds on her dress, looking a little careless.
"Is my sister angry this time? I still want all the people in the family to slap me a few times, so that your heart will be comfortable. Meng Xiyue leaned back slightly and changed to a more comfortable position.
"What's the use of me deflating? The Meng family's family style has been ruined by you, even if you are killed, it is not too much. Meng Xilan sighed softly and asked a little helplessly, "What can I do about this?" ”
Meng Xiyue glanced at her vigilantly, waiting for what she was going to say next.
"If something like this happens, even if you stay in the Meng family in the future, no one will marry you."
Meng Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled lightly: "It turns out that my sister will still worry about me." Since I followed the second son, I didn't plan to worry about others anymore. ”
Meng Xilan stared at her and said, "Really? Aren't you ambitious? Can a mere second son satisfy you? In order to catch a big fish and take the bait, you have spent so much effort that you even put your innocence on it, and it ends up boring like this, isn't it a pity? As she spoke, she suddenly stretched out her finger and touched the fair skin on Meng Xiyue's face, revealing a puzzled expression, and asked, "Actually, you still have a plan, right?" After entering the palace in the name of a concubine, do you have more plans? ”
"......" Meng Xiyue was in a trance for a moment before she said, "Sister, what are you talking about?" ”
Meng Xilan covered her body with a quilt and said, "You must think it's strange." Since I entered the palace, I have become much more distant from you than before, and my attitude has become more and more cold. This bothers you a lot. ”
Meng Xiyue looked at her in a daze: "That's right, I don't understand, my sister suddenly treats me as a slave and maid...... We used to have such a deep relationship, but you ...... me If my sister was willing to help me, I wouldn't have made such a decision and used my body as a cost. ”
Now, between the two of them, it seems that there are a lot more things to say.
Meng Xilan smiled slightly, and her tone became very casual: "Because I suddenly understood what kind of person you are." Xiyue, there is no one else here at this time, so you can be honest with me. Growing up, haven't you always hated me? ”
When Meng Xiyue heard this, it was as if she had suddenly been poked in the ribs, and her body instantly tensed.
"Yuzuki, you admit it. You hate me, and you hate this family. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to do this today. ”
Meng Xiyue's eyes were slightly filled with tears, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "I didn't." ”
"You hate your aunt and can't let you raise your head in front of your subordinates. You hate the partiality of the elders and ignore you, and you hate me even more as the eldest sister, who has had everything since birth, and everything is above you, and you wish that I would suffer and suffer, and it would be better to die in front of you one day. Meng Xilan spoke in a calm and waveless tone.
Meng Xiyue suddenly covered her ears with her hands as if she was stimulated, and said, "Don't talk about it......"
Meng Xilan deliberately patted her on the shoulder and soothed: "It's okay, it's okay." Let's make it clear, and we'll get along in the future, won't we? ”
The tone of her voice was uncomfortable and unsettling.
Those secrets hidden in her heart, she never mentioned half a sentence to others, why Meng Xilan can be seen at a glance, this is simply terrifying.
Meng Xiyue subconsciously lifted the quilt to her body, and suddenly felt that she was in front of Meng Xilan, without any secrets, it felt like she was not wearing clothes.
Before she knew it, her whole body began to tremble slightly. Meng Xilan's gaze slowly moved down, watching her clutch the quilt tightly, because she was too hard, the green tendons on the back of her hand were exposed.
Meng Xilan smiled slightly, and took the initiative to reach out and hold her hand: "Don't be afraid ......"
Meng Xiyue shook it off violently, glared at her and said, "Don't touch me." ”
Meng Xilan looked at her quietly: "What, do you think it's terrible?" If you're really afraid of me, then the matter is settled. ”
In the end, it is a sister, and it is really a pity that Meng Xilan has come to this point. Although she hated Meng Xiyue so much, she still clearly remembered how she was strangled to death by the eunuchs in the palace at the beginning.
"I knew you wouldn't be satisfied with the status quo, but I didn't expect you to be so anxious? Say, who is it, who is the bridge between you and the second son? With your status, you don't have a chance to get close to him. ”
What is Meng Xiyue's scheming, she has already understood. But now, what bothers Meng Xilan the most is the person who secretly helped behind her back.
Meng Xiyue bit her lower lip, and her mind was in turmoil for a while.
"If you don't say it, the child in your belly will definitely not be saved." In the end, Meng Xilan deliberately used a slightly threatening tone.
Meng Xiyue's face turned pale, and she still said stiffly: "I won't say it, she is my fateful nobleman." ”
Hit the nobles?
"It seems to be a figure with a head and a face." Meng Xilan analyzed her words and said: "Xiyue, your nobleman, there is no way to help you at the moment, only I can help you." You also know that as long as I say a word, I can send you to the Song family safely and securely, so that you can achieve your goal. ”
Meng Xiyue couldn't figure out her mind at all, and said uneasily: "No, you can't help me." ”
"Alas......" Meng Xilan sighed slightly, "Don't trust outsiders at any time, more than your own people." Otherwise, you'll be disappointed. ”
"I'm still your eldest sister, tell me who that person is, and I'll let you go back to the house with Song Wenyu and live the life you want."
Meng Xilan rarely came out with an oath.
Meng Xiyue, who was in a panic, and her brain, which had always prided herself on being smart, began to be less bright, she thought for a while, and finally spoke: "Yes...... It's His Royal Highness the Lord of the County......"
Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she didn't believe it: "You said that the county lord of Anning?" ”
Meng Xiyue nodded slightly.
Sure enough, it was beyond her imagination. Zhou Li'er, she hasn't heard from her for a long time, but she heard that she has been grounded in the palace, and she is very self-contained.
"How did you and the county lord meet?" Meng Xilan began to ask about the details.
"The first time I met on the street...... Meng Xiyue hesitated to speak: "Because I look a little similar to my sister, the maid next to the county lord recognized me as a member of the Meng family." ”
"You know that I have a holiday with the county lord of Anning, and you dare to associate with her, you are really bold." Meng Xilan frowned and reprimanded.
"Sister, you've been cold to me, and I can only figure it out by myself. Moreover, it was His Royal Highness the County Lord who first showed favor to me. She said that my sister and I looked similar, but had a completely different temperament, said that I was docile and quiet, and gave me a lot of gifts, saying that they wanted to be friends with me. ”
For the first time in Meng Xiyue's life, she could recognize such a noble person, and besides, Zhou Li'er also said that she wanted to be friends with her, how could she refuse?
