Chapter Ninety-Eight: Battle
Because Tang Lu'er didn't go back for a long time, Zhaocai himself made trouble in the house for a while, and then ran out, and this time, he ran to Meng San's side.
Now Meng San lives in a certain subordinate room opposite Tang Lu'er, which can be regarded as an additional reward for him after establishing a good relationship with Qiao Shizi and others. And just when Zhaocai slipped past, Qiao Shizi and Chen Yijie happened to walk by on the other side, and the two had just come out of Zhao Pinliang's.
"Your fourth sister is okay, Brother Zhao's heroic rescue of beauty today really opened my eyes, if not, hey......" Qiao Shizi was only halfway through his words, but suddenly looked at a fluffy little thing swishing across the side, he was stunned, and then his eyes lit up, and he took the words and chased there. Chen Yijie was about to open his mouth to ask what was wrong, when he saw a little maid walking in from outside and poking her brain into this probe. Chen Yijie glanced at it, recognized that it seemed to be the maid next to his third sister, and was about to step forward to ask, but saw a man in black walking in from outside, and that man was still an entourage surnamed Zhao next to King An Yuan.
"Lord Zhao came here, but what are your orders?" After seeing the comer clearly, Chen Yijie hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile, King Anyuan did not live here, but now he sent someone over, I am afraid that something is wrong, since he has encountered it, he will not dare to slack off.
"Meng Gongzi lives here?" Zhao Li nodded and asked.
"Meng Gongzi?" Chen Yijie was stunned for a moment, and then remembered, "But Meng San, Meng Gongzi?" ”
"That's right, the prince asked me to come over to find Meng Gongzi, and Second Master Lao Chen showed me the way." Zhao Li hugged his fists as he spoke.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Meng Gongzi lives over there, and the westernmost room is." Although Chen Yijie was full of suspicion in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more, and raised his finger to point. After seeing Zhao Li walk over, he was hesitating whether to inquire with him, but he caught a glimpse of the maid next to him who seemed to be about to turn around, so he stopped and asked, "Why did you just come over and leave, what's the matter?" ”
"Go back, go back to the second master, it was the third girl who asked the slave maid to come over to find Meng Gongzi, but just now Lord Zhao has already gone in to look for it, so the slave and maid don't need to go in."
"Looking for Meng San again, even the third sister sent someone to find that kid!" Chen Yijie was puzzled, so he grabbed the maid, "Don't be busy leaving, tell your master what's going on first, but what's going on over there?" ”
As soon as Qiao Shizi chased over, he disappeared the shadow of the cat, and he was anxious for a while, looking around, and he didn't want to look at a black shadow and walked to the west.
"Sh—————" He was about to scold, but the other party stopped in front of a subordinate room, pushed open the door and walked in.
Qiao Shizi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it seemed to be the room of that Meng San's kid, but the man in black just now seemed to be a little familiar. Without waiting for him to think about it more, he saw the man in black come out of the room again, followed by Meng San, and followed by the cat. Qiao Shizi squinted suddenly, he forgot that the relationship between this Meng San and the little girl was not simple, so this cat must be very familiar with him.
Chen Yijie never expected that things would develop like this, others don't know about this, but he knows it very well in his heart. Although he didn't know who was secretly doing it at that time, it would never be the little girl, he was staring at the girl tightly, he was not blind, the other party didn't shake the whip, he wouldn't see it!
As soon as Qiao Shizi heard about this, he was immediately interested, and he hurriedly pulled Chen Yijie to join in the fun.
At this time, the main battlefield had already shifted from Chen Yanhong's bedroom to Old Lady Chen's hall. Just now when Chen Yanyun spread the news to Shangguan Yu, Old Lady Chen was chatting with Xiao Guan Yu, and when she heard about it, she wanted to say that he asked people to go over to take a look, but unexpectedly, Shangguan Yu got up and went straight there. Old lady Chen was so shocked that she had no choice but to follow, and then the previous scene happened.
Meng San followed Zhao Li into Old Man Chen's hall, and when he saw Tang Lu'er sitting there upright, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then began to look at the people in this room.
Shangguan Yu and Old Man Chen naturally sat at the top, but the lower position was a little intriguing. Originally, the tables, chairs, and coffee tables in this hall were placed with two Taishi at the top, a coffee table in the middle, and then four chairs and two coffee tables on each side. Because there are strange men there, it is inconvenient for the women who have not left the pavilion to show up, so except for Tang Lu'er, those women of the family, including the county lord of Duanyuan, are only sitting in the warm pavilion behind the flower hall at this time. In this way, in this hall, in addition to Mrs. Chen and King An Yuan, there are also Mrs. Chen and the other three ladies and Master Chen, plus Tang Lu'er, there are only eight people.
The position is obviously enough to sit, but King An Yuan added a chair to his right hand, and at this time, Tang Lu'er was sitting on that chair, looking at the silent big man in the room with a somewhat stunned expression. It wasn't until she saw Meng San come in that she came back to her senses, and then she saw Zhaocai also come in after Meng San. Originally, Zhaocai didn't like such a strange atmosphere here, and was about to flick his tail and turn away, but when he suddenly saw Tang Lu'er, he suddenly excitedly "meow~", raised his head, and pounced on the person on the seat.
The ins and outs of the matter, Meng San had already learned from Zhao Li on the way over. Therefore, after he came in, he didn't salute, but only hugged his fist and said: "I'm afraid you have misunderstood this matter, I was watching from the side at that time, and Lu'er she never threw the horsewhip at all." “
Mrs. Chen was just about to open her mouth, but Meng San glanced at her and said with a smile: "Since the Chen Mansion claims that it will not wronged good people, then Madame should listen to me patiently." “
Tang Lu'er sat quietly on the side to give fortune and smoothness, Shangguan Yu didn't make a sound, just glanced at Old Man Chen, Old Man Chen glanced at his daughter-in-law, and then said to Meng San: "You say." “
Meng San nodded, then turned to Mrs. Chen and asked, "Dare to ask Madame, was Lu Er on the right hand side of the fourth girl at that time?" “
Mrs. Chen frowned: "That's right. “
Meng San then asked, "And the fourth girl's horse, the right eye is also injured right now?" "Exactly." Mrs. Chen was a little impatient, "Meng Gongzi doesn't have to say more about this to me, let alone make up words to trick me!" The four girls' horses were not injured now, but they were injured at the time, it was this horse whip that was injured, and this whip still had blood stains on it, in addition to this physical evidence, the human witness is also present now! ”
"Madame, don't worry." Meng San smiled again, then pointed to the horsewhip and said, "Let me ask Madame again, this horsewhip, as long as it is not left-handed, should be held in the right hand, right?" ”
Mrs. Chen was stunned, and she suddenly realized that her calculation had been found and overlooked.
"If those girls who claim to have seen Lu'er throw the whip at the four girls are really right, then they will remember that Lu'er was holding a horse whip in her right hand at that time."
Mrs. Chen didn't speak, just looked at Meng San coldly, and the three ladies next to her had changed their faces slightly.
Meng San still had a smile on his face, and continued: "Mrs. Chen, Lu'er, a little girl who has just learned to ride a horse, wants to throw the whip in her right hand to her left, and she has to accurately land on the right eye of the fourth girl's horse, you really look down on her too much!" To be honest, if you don't practice for two or three years, you really can't practice such a good point! ”
Tang Lu'er was made to laugh by Meng San's words, Zhaocai turned his head to look at her, "meow", and then turned his head to look around, and suddenly saw that the jade buckle on Shangguan Yu's belt was shining brightly under the reflection of the candle flame, and it stood up from Tang Lu'er's legs, twisted his buttocks, jumped up, and threw himself at Shangguan Yu.
The people around were shocked, but the next moment they saw that King An Yuan was actually letting the dirty cat roll on him, and the girl next to him was still whispering to King An Yuan from time to time, as if she didn't pay attention to the current matter at all.
Mrs. Chen was already upset by Meng San's sentences one after another, and then looked at the attitude of the girl over there, the fire in her heart was simply rubbing up to the old ground, so she suddenly sank her face, looked at Meng San and said, "What is unexpected, who can say for sure." According to what Meng Gongzi said, it sounds like every sentence is reasonable, but the facts are in front of him, don't say that Meng Gongzi doesn't believe it, even I can't believe it! When she said this, she closed her eyes, then opened them, and continued with a sad face, "The conscience of heaven and earth, my Chen Mansion treats a person so kindly, who would have thought that he would get such a reward, if it weren't for my Hong'er Fu's great life, I would already be a white-haired person sending a black-haired person now!" "Madame is right, no one can say for sure." Meng San nodded at her words, and then said, "Therefore, the fourth girl's accident this time was not caused by Lu'er, nor was it caused by the injury to the horse's eye. ”
"What are you talking about, is there such a strong argument as you!" Mrs. Chen immediately snorted, and then turned to Mrs. Chen and said, "Old lady, there is all the evidence and material evidence in this matter, and the daughter-in-law thinks that there is no need to say much at all, and at the moment the daughter-in-law is just a mother who feels sorry for her daughter and is unhappy for her daughter." If Meng Gongzi really wants to defend Miss Tang, let him go to court and say it, his daughter-in-law doesn't want to listen to his quibbles anymore. ”
Before Old Lady Chen could speak, Shangguan Yu raised his eyes and said lightly: "Miss Tang, I guarantee that she has nothing to do with this matter, and Meng Gongzi continued, be sure to find out some things." ”
Mrs. Chen only felt suffocated for a moment, and said in her heart, why hasn't the person she just sent out invited Concubine An Yuan over.
King Anyuan really opened his mouth for that stinky girl, and now he must use Concubine Anyuan's mouth to press, otherwise it will be difficult for this matter to proceed smoothly, and I am afraid that those families will retreat because of this, and it will be even more difficult to leave her to fight alone.
Meng San nodded at Shangguan Yu, and was about to speak again, not wanting to say a word from outside, Concubine An Yuan had arrived.
Mrs. Chen was overjoyed, and quickly got up, Old Lady Chen and the rest of the people were slightly startled, and they all stood up, Shangguan Yu sighed in his heart, and gave Zhaocai to Tang Lu'er, and then got up and greeted him in person.
