207 Becoming a Young Grandma?
First of all, regardless of whether she has feelings for the old lady or not, just because she is Cheng'an's grandmother, Xiao Ling'er can't put her in danger.
"Don't worry!" Mu Shishi hurriedly pulled her down, "These are just our guesses, it's useless to guess without evidence, if you go back in such a hurry, you won't be able to find any evidence when the time comes, but you will be startled." ”
"That's right, the more this time we can't rush." Hongjin agreed with Mu Shishi's words very much, "If they were able to do something to the old lady, they were already sealing their own back roads and acting on the cliff." If they find out that you are aware, I am afraid that you will also be in danger at that time. Now that Mei Chengan is not in Tang County, it will take a few days for the news to spread, and I am afraid that when he returns, he will not be able to catch up with the conference in three days. Now the only person who can save the Mei family is you, and you must not have an accident. ”
Mu Shishi and Hong Jin's worries were not unreasonable, Xiao Ling'er clenched her fists, and finally sat down, "I know what you said, but no matter what, I still have to go back to Mei's house, since I can't startle the snake, I naturally have to return to Mei's house on time to take care of the old lady, otherwise if my actions are different from usual, they will still be suspicious." What's more, if you want to find evidence that they killed the old lady, you have to go back. ”
"I'm with you." This time Mu Shishi didn't stop her, but still opened her mouth, "You must go back when you go back, but I'll go with you." Anyway, now that the shops are about to open, I can indeed go back with you and report the situation to the old lady, so that they will not arouse their suspicion. And I think they only know that I am the other owner of the medicine canteen, but they should not know that I also have some medical skills, and when the time comes, they can help you take a look at the old lady's condition, and maybe they will find any evidence. ”
"I think so." Hongjin nodded, "It's a good idea, but no matter what, be careful." ”
"I know."
Xiao Ling'er didn't want Sister Shishi to get involved in the Mei family's affairs, but now it seems that this is the best way.
Just do it, the next day, Mu Shishi arrived at Mei's house early in the morning, Xiao Ling'er also went to the door to welcome her in, and walked all the way to the old lady's room of the Mei family.
Mu Shishi looked left and right on the road, and was also a little puzzled, "Why does the Mei family seem to have a lot more people at once, and the management is also very strict, I remember that it didn't seem to be like this when I came back to look for you, just now I said at the door that I wanted to come in, and they also interrogated me what I was here for." ”
"I also thought it was strange that I had asked those people before, and they only said that the old lady had been in poor health recently, so they sent more people to take care of her. I wasn't suspicious at the time, but now I think it's not that simple. ”
"Mei Yongxin's bureau laid out by them really took care of all aspects. However, I told them that I was here to discuss the matter of the shop in detail, so I shouldn't have caused them any doubts, so I don't need to worry about it. Mu Shishi lowered her voice a little, and then said, "Hongjin has already asked people to go to Yu'an City to spread the news to Mei Cheng'an, in case there is a change in the Mei family, he also sent some people to Tang County, which is temporarily near where he lives, not too far from here, and should come over soon as there is a move." ”
"Brother Hong is really well prepared, and with him, I'm not so worried." Xiao Ling'er nodded, the two of them spoke, and soon arrived in front of the old lady's courtyard, explained their intentions to those subordinates, and the old lady called them in.
A few days ago, when Xiao Ling'er went to the old lady to inquire about the marriage of Zhu Qianxue and Mei Yongxin, the old lady's condition was not very good, but now it seems that she is much thinner, and her face is a little pale.
It's just that the old lady is old after all, and she has been repairing in her yard, and she will get sick every once in a while, so she didn't care too much about her health this time.
The matter of the shop is just foreshadowing, Xiao Ling'er and Mu Shishi chatted casually, not wanting the old lady to work too hard, and not asking too much.
Then while those servants went down to serve tea and change water, let Mu Shishi help the old lady see her illness for a while, and she walked around the room for a while, looking for some places where she might be drugged.
She didn't want the old lady to worry too much, so as not to affect her body, so she didn't tell the old lady about the speculation between them, but just took the reason why Sister Shishi knew a little about medical skills, but fortunately, the old lady didn't refuse.
After seeing the doctor, I casually greeted a few times before leaving the yard.
This time I came, it was indeed very rewarding, as they guessed, the old lady's illness was not related to her previous old illness, but eating things that conflicted, which would cause physical discomfort.
Although it is not a poisoning attempt, for a person of her age, such an unbalanced diet can already cause serious damage to the root cause and make her body worse.
Xiao Ling'er didn't want to be startled by their discovery, so she could only quietly find two people that Mei Cheng'an trusted before, and sent them to the old lady's yard, keeping an eye on her food at any time, and secretly changed some incense and flowers in her room that damaged her body, and then left the evidence of the conflict between the food.
Three days, soon arrived.
Counting the time, the news of Brother Hong should have reached Yu'an City, but it was too late to wait until Mei Cheng'an rushed back, and Xiao Ling'er couldn't delay it so much, so she could only go to this shopkeeper meeting alone.
Although the old lady's diet has just been adjusted, her body has not improved much, but after all, this negotiation is still important, and it is necessary to announce some changes in the Mei family's shop business and the marriage between the Mei and Zhu families this time. The old lady still cheered up and let Yao Xirou help her to the Mei family hall.
When the old lady arrived, the Mei family and the shopkeepers had already arrived, and they saluted the old lady in unison, and then sat down in their places one by one.
What happened in front of him can naturally be guessed, the marriage between the two families of Mei Zhu is really a big weapon for Mei Yongxin, with this relationship in it, the old lady allocated a lot of business to him, in the end she didn't want to lose the face of the Mei family.
It's just that even Xiao Ling'er didn't expect that after saying all this, the old lady's eyes actually looked in her direction, and let Yao Xirou on the side help her get up, before she slowly spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have already seen Ling'er and know her identity, so I won't be too verbose here, wife." Ling'er, this child's business experience, this time, Cheng'an is not in Tang County, she manages the Mei family's business on her behalf, and the management is in good order, which wins my heart. Cheng'an's child is not too young, and the Mei family has to have someone to help him in this huge business. In addition, the relationship between these two children is already deep, and the identity of a concubine of the Mei family is really a little aggrieved Ling'er, so the old woman and I are here to be the master, and I plan to wait for Cheng'an to come back from Yu'an City this time, and re-establish a marriage for them one day, so that our Mei family can have a young grandmother who can take care of things. After all, Yongxin and Qianxue are also about to get married, and Cheng'an, who is the eldest brother, can't get married. ”
"Old Lady ......"
Xiao Ling'er really didn't expect that the old lady would come up with this idea at this time, she thought that it would be the same as she said before, until she made those shops an achievement.
In fact, in the heart of the old lady of the Mei family, she did plan to do so. It's just that this time the illness came too suddenly, and she always had a strong premonition, a little afraid that she would not be able to hold on to her life whimpering. So she couldn't delay it like this, and she had to make a decision quickly.
What's more, during this period of time with Xiao Ling'er, she could see that this child was kind-hearted, respectful to her, and had good skills, and she was also sincere to Cheng'an, except that her identity was a little weaker, she was indeed the most suitable person to be a young grandmother.
The most important thing is that it was so sudden that Qianxue's girl suddenly changed her mind and wanted to marry Yongxin. Since then, Yongxin has the strong backing of the Zhu family, and he has forced himself to allocate some business to him, and he has to catch up with Cheng'an in terms of the right to be in charge of the Mei family. She had to help Ling Er sit in the position of the eldest and young grandmother, so that they could balance each other, and not let all the limelight be swept away by Yongxin's kid.
Mei Yongxin, who was sitting at the bottom, couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard this, and he immediately saw the old lady's intentions.
Sure enough, no matter what happened, she was still so partial to Mei Chengan. Even when it comes to getting married, she has to let Meicheng catch up with her.
What he wants, he has to work hard and hard to get it, but Mei Cheng'an, even if others are not in Tang County, he can easily get it.
It's just abominable.
The most hateful thing is that the old lady said this in front of so many people today, especially in front of Qianxue, just to say it to Qianxue clearly.
After this sentence, Zhu Qianxue, who was sitting next to her, immediately couldn't hold it back and wanted to stand up.
Mei Yongxin hurriedly grabbed her, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Of course I want the old lady to take back this decision, why? Why can that woman be a grandmother! This position is obviously mine! ”
"How can you let her take back her life now, as a future second young grandmother of the Mei family? Wouldn't it make people laugh out of their teeth when they say this kind of thing. ”
"But I just can't, you and your mother have obviously promised me that the marriage between the two of us is just an expedient measure, and when Xiao Ling'er can be completely driven out of the Mei family, it can be annulled. But now, Xiao Ling'er has not left the Mei family, but is going to become a young grandmother, do your words count or not? ”
