Chapter 207: Public Humiliation
"Why?" Meng Jinglun blurted out.
Mrs. Meng sneered: "Do you know that there is a smell of joy in your study?" ”
"Joyful incense?" Meng Jinglun asked suspiciously.
"There is a residual smell of joy in the house, and the doctor said that this is the medicine of the tiger and wolf, but it can be greedy for a moment of pleasure, but the sequelae are particularly severe and hurt the body." Mrs. Meng said with a solemn face: "It is precisely because of this smell that An Ran is unwell. Thanks to her early awareness, otherwise there would be a real danger of miscarriage. ”
As soon as Meng Jinglun heard this name, he actually had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't believe it. Now that Mrs. Meng said this, she immediately felt that she had been calculated, and her heart was full of anger. Shicai's little good impression of Xia Ziwu suddenly disappeared.
Mrs. Meng's face was obviously disgusted: "A girl's family who has not left the cabinet actually uses such an obscene method, which really impresses me." Let her continue to stay in the house, and there may not be anything to do.
Last time, I had already caused an enchanted tire gas and almost lost my life. This time things were so coincidental, it must have been her means. In case something happens to the child in An Ran's belly, there will be times when you regret it. ”
Meng Jinglun said with annoyance: "It's all up to my mother to decide this matter." ”
Mrs. Meng bowed her head: "Let's save some face for her Xia family in this matter, and we won't break it." It just so happens that the Xia family is in danger now, I heard that the Xue family is also seriously ill, she stays in our Meng Mansion, she is shameless, we can't let outsiders poke the backbone, saying that our Meng family is not sensible.
I'll tell her tomorrow and send her back to Xia's house. Hello Sheng explained to An Ran, don't let her be blocked in her heart, if there is an estrangement, it will not be good for her body. Nothing is more important than this kid right now. ”
Meng Jinglun nodded honestly: "Mother, I know." ”
The two had already decided, so Mrs. Meng dispersed everyone, comforted An Ran, and instructed Meng Jinglun to send An Ran back to rest.
Meng Jinglun stretched out his arms to hold An Ran, and slowly walked back, with small wings and extra care.
The two were silent for a while, and neither of them spoke.
"Enron."
Meng Jinglun suddenly said loudly.
An Ran said "um" softly, and the bitterness in his voice was still difficult to hide.
"Suitable talent, suitable talent is not my intention, you must not misunderstand."
An Ran curled the corners of his lips far-fetched: "Really? ”
"Really." Meng Jinglun swore solemnly: "Mother told me that there is a smell of joy and incense in the house!" I obviously fell for Xia Ziwu's calculations, so I was emotional. I still only have you in my heart. ”
"Oh." An Ran Feng responded lightly and did not speak.
"Don't you believe me?" Meng Jinglun paused and asked solemnly.
"Believe it."
An Ran sighed leisurely, his tone uncertain.
Meng Jinglun suddenly became a little anxious: "You obviously don't trust me." Don't you know who I am? If I were, if I were that abusive person, I wouldn't have refused the girl my mother had arranged for me, and I wouldn't have been clean for so many years. ”
An Ran gently covered Meng Jinglun's lips: "Don't say it again, I know, and I believe it." ”
"Then why are you still sullen?"
An Ran gently snuggled into Meng Jinglun's arms and whispered: "I'm just a little nervous, I'm afraid of losing you." Sooner or later, you're going to have to soar. When one day you become famous, all eyes are on you, surrounded by beautiful people. Will you still love me and spoil me like you do now? Can you resist their temptation? Will there be three wives and four concubines?
When the time comes, the inner house will be deceitful and fighting, and it will definitely not be peaceful. I feel a little overwhelmed, I'm afraid I can't take care of this beautiful back garden for you. ”
"Say what? Thinking nonsense again! Meng Jinglun was slightly disgusted, and hugged her tighter: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?" I, Meng Jinglun, can marry you, and I should be content and happy. ”
An Sheng lay on Meng Jinglun's shoulder, his shoulder still had the fat powder on Xia Ziwu's body, and the cold wind couldn't blow away, and it kept hovering around An Ran's nose. The tears in her eyes that she had been holding back for a long time finally couldn't help overflowing, and she sighed softly in her heart.
Meng Jinglun swore like this, but he didn't know how long the shelf life of his oath could be, whether it was considered or not?
He would never know that the strange smell in the room was not Xia Ziwu's hands and feet. It was a green orange, and when a few people were not paying attention, they spilled the medicine An Sheng gave her in the charcoal basin.
Meng Jinglun couldn't help it, but he naively believed this excuse to cover up his empathy.
This secret will be kept hidden and rotten in your stomach.
After breakfast the next day, Mrs. Meng left Xia Ziwu alone, and bluntly asked Xia Ziwu to return to Xia's house.
Mrs. Meng said that she had found two more elderly and experienced mothers-in-law for An Ran, and she thanked Xia Ziwu for taking care of An Ran for a while.
She said it very tactfully, Xia Ziwu was naturally unwilling, thinking that it must be An Ran who made a big fuss last night, or pretended to scare everyone with tire gas, forcing Mrs. Meng to drive herself out.
She explained to Mrs. Meng what had happened last night, putting herself in an extremely aggrieved situation. And Mrs. Meng already had a bad impression of her preconceived, so naturally she would not believe her explanation, and felt more and more that she was trying to cover up, but she was just quibbling.
Mrs. Meng was also polite, mentioning that Xia Yuanwai was in prison and was seriously ill with Xue, and preached Xia Ziwu, asking her to put filial piety first, and the most important thing to go back to Xia's house to honor her parents.
Xia Ziwu was sent back to Xia Mansion on the same day.
She didn't have time to see Meng Jinglun.
Judging from Meng Jinglun's reaction last night, Xia Ziwu thought that Meng Jinglun was thinking about herself, and this time, she was really just a little bit behind.
Falling short.
After returning to Xiafu, she faced the Xue family and Xia Zixian, and also lied that she was worried about the Xue family's body and wanted to come back to share the joys and sorrows with her mother and sister.
When she learned about the current situation of the Xia family, and knew that the Xue family was deceived by Xue Zhao's father and son, she was almost bankrupt, and she had to complain about the Xue family.
As soon as I thought of it, the Xia family might have declined, and I might only be able to marry to an ordinary merchant or a declining child, or maybe I could not enjoy the glory and wealth of a peddler or a rural villager, or maybe I would never have a bright future, so I didn't think about it, and I still thought about the Meng family.
After thinking about it, she finally made up her mind that she was going to Meng Jinglun's academy to find Meng Jinglun, in case, what else would there be a turning point?
When his father's case is a foregone conclusion, the Meng family will look down on themselves even more.
Thinking about it, she went to the academy again.
The academy is already familiar to her.
There is a tea house next to the college, and the elegant students in the college come and go, so the environment is quite quiet.
At this time, the door of the academy was closed, and it was not yet time to get out of school, and there were not many tea customers in the tea house.
Xia Ziwu wanted to find a seat to sit down in the window by the window, and she could see the people coming and going in the academy.
Today, the road is narrow, and there is a person sitting in the window seat, and it is an acquaintance.
Meng Jingxian.
With her, there were two daughters who didn't know whose family, all staring at the door of the academy, chatting casually.
There are a few plates of candied fruit or pumpkin seeds, and peanuts in salted water.
One person leaned into Meng Jingxian's ear, not knowing what to mutter, Meng Jingxian immediately blushed, and pushed the girl next to her with a smile: "If you dare to talk nonsense to him, I will ignore you again!" ”
The girl teased her "hee-hee": "It's better than you often waiting like this with excuses, unrequited love is good, the bench of this teahouse is about to be brightened by you." ”
"Still talking nonsense, believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
The girl smiled and dodged, Meng Jingxian pounced on her to fight, and saw Xia Ziwu who turned around at the door and wanted to leave.
"Stop!"
Meng Jingxian scolded suddenly, startling the other two women, and then looked at Xia Ziwu's gaze in unison.
Xia Ziwu paused, then turned around, with a smile on her face: "It turned out to be Miss Meng's family, what a coincidence, where do you not meet in life." ”
Meng Jingxian had a sneer on her face, looking up and down Xia Ziwu's slightly thin clothes and delicate makeup, and the corners of her lips curled up with a touch of sarcasm.
"If we meet by chance on the street, it is indeed a coincidence, but at the gate of this academy, we were able to meet, I'm afraid it would bring too much intention and purpose, right?"
Xia Ziwu smiled embarrassedly: "I am thirsty at the intersection, I saw that there is a tea house here, so I just came in for a cup of tea, Miss Meng doesn't know who to wait for here?" ”
A trace of imperceptible panic flashed on Meng Jingxian's face, and she was worried about how much Xia Ziwu had heard her words of laughter with her best friend, and then said confidently: "Naturally, I am waiting for my brother to get out of school and go back to the house together, and by the way, I will help my brother drive away those ill-intentioned wild bees and butterflies around him." ”
Xia Ziwu's face turned red: "Could it be that this academy is opened by your family, if you come, I can't come?" ”
The two people next to them couldn't help but be curious, and asked Meng Jingxian, "Who is she?" ”
Meng Jingxian said disdainfully: "Who else can there be?" She is the shameless woman I told you about, the one who stayed at my house in a hurry, and was indifferent to even the fact that her own father was imprisoned and wanted to lose his life. ”
"Just her?" The two girls and Meng Jingxian naturally shared the same hatred, and they had a bad impression of Xia Ziwu with preconceived ideas, so they all sneered with disdain: "I heard that her Xia family has a Xia Ansheng, who is favored by Yu Shizi, and she is so tormented that the city is full of wind and rain, and there is a more powerful third lady, the women in your sister-in-law's house are not simple?" ”
Meng Jingxian snorted: "My sister-in-law is quite honest, not the same as them." Otherwise, I would have asked my mother and brother to divorce her. If I had listened to me at the beginning, I would have quit her Xia family, and I would have married one of the two of you to be my sister-in-law, and I would have spoken to relieve my boredom. It's better than being relied on by her Xia family, and she rushed to send another one to the door. ”
