164. The Meng clan who flaunts his might

Although Tang Chuan was full of doubts about Meng, he did not express it. For one, looking at her sworn appearance is not like lying. Second, he was a little jealous of Tang Muchen, especially seeing that he had won the hearts of the people in the government and the opposition over the years, he was even more mindful. If he asks his wife to take care of the Houfu in the future, he will always feel a little uneasy.

And Meng Shi happened to grasp his mentality, and blew some pillow wind every once in a while, and soon regained the power to manage the Houfu.

A few days later, Tang Chuan solemnly announced at dinner that since Su Xiaojin was pregnant, she should not work too hard, and the tedious affairs of presiding over the family in the future would be handed over to the Meng family, and she would take care of her body.

Hearing the news, Su Xiaojin was not too surprised, on the contrary, she accepted it very obediently, and leaned over to thank Tang Chuan, looking like a virtuous and virtuous daughter-in-law. The ancient rumors on the side exploded, if Su Xiaojin hadn't stopped her with her eyes, she would have rushed up and slapped the proud Meng.

Here, Tang Muchen was still eating calmly, as if he hadn't heard it. It's just that when Su Xiaojin sat down, he put a big chopstick dish in her bowl. Su Xiaojin smiled at him, but he nodded slightly, signaling her to hurry up and eat.

Meng Shi looked at them proudly, his eyes full of disdain. She has followed the old marquis for so many years, and she doesn't know how many chances she has in her heart. You little hooves, no matter how much you wave, you won't be able to escape from the palm of my hand. As long as I'm in the Meng family for a day, this family is the old lady's final say.

Tang Chuan originally thought that Tang Muchen would object, but he didn't expect him to be so quiet, and he was a little surprised in his heart. But that's fine, lest he rack his brains and figure out how to solve the problem.

After dinner, Tang Muchen and Su Xiaojin knelt down, Meng Shi said in front of Tang Chuan that Su Xiaojin must pay attention to her body, she is not alone now, and she must be careful in everything.

Su Xiaojin looked at her extremely hypocritical face with a smile, and felt sick for a while. This Meng Shi is really good at acting, if he didn't know her well enough, he would almost believe her.

Tang Muchen pulled Su Xiaojin's sleeve a little impatiently and left, the air here was too stuffy, and he couldn't stay for a moment.

"Master Hou, look." Meng Shi was a little embarrassed by him, and stomped his feet angrily behind him.

When the maids on the side saw this, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to come out, for fear that the Meng clan would be angry with them.

"Even if I was a stepmother, I would have raised him to adulthood. The saints all say that the grace of raising is greater than the grace of life. He is a dignified prince, and he has really read so many four books and five classics in vain. Meng Shi wiped his tears as he spoke, and he was very aggrieved. let the uninformed others see it, and really thought that Tang Muchen didn't know the general situation and had no filial piety.

Tang Chuan was upset when he heard this, flicked his sleeves and walked away. Women's families, they only cry and cry every day, which is really boring and boring. It's nowhere near as interesting as my own books.

Meng Shi didn't comfort himself when he saw him, knowing that it would be boring for him to cry again. wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, twisted his fat waist and went to his good son to play chess and drink tea and chat.

"You really Meng Shi off just now." Su Xiaojin said with a smile to Tang Muchen, who was supporting him. Since he knew that he was pregnant, this guy always involuntarily pulled himself when he walked, for fear that she would make a mistake.

"I hate her." Tang Muchen didn't hide it. For Meng, he had nothing but hatred.

Su Xiaojin didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to walk slowly with him in silence.

"It's a great night tonight, let's go sit down at the gazebo." Looking at the bright moonlight overhead, Tang Muchen proposed to go to the garden to admire the moon.

When he heard the rumor, he turned around and went to the house to get his cloak. Tang Muchen took Su Xiaojin's hand and walked towards the pavilion.

The garden was quiet under the moon, with the occasional unknown insect chirping in the grass. Fireflies loom over the grass. The breeze blows gently, and the air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

"It's beautiful." Su Xiaojin couldn't help but close her eyes comfortably. Sure enough, the world of the ancients is comfortable, I feel that time is slow, my heart is calm, and I can appreciate the beauty of the world.

Tang Muchen had no intention of appreciating this beautiful scenery, he looked at the lights not far away and let out a light sigh.

"Jin'er, you asked me last time how my mother died of illness, and I didn't answer you, so today I will tell you what I know."

The night was slightly cool, Tang Muchen was a little worried about Su Xiaojin's body, so he wanted to go back to the room earlier. But Su Xiaojin was unmoved. His words just now attracted her attention, and her whole body was still immersed in her own thoughts.

Regarding the early death of her mother-in-law, she has a lot of incomprehension. For example, he said that his mother-in-law died of illness, but how could a person who died of illness have bruises on his knees and wrists? For another example, he said that he was young at the time, and he only remembered that his mother told him to listen to his father in the future, so it can be seen that she knew that time was running out at that time, so why did she refuse to save herself, could it be that there was something unspeakable?

"Tang Muchen, I have an intuition that my mother didn't die of illness, she should have been killed by someone! Later, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, they disguised it as a patient and buried it, so as to block Youyou's mouth. Su Xiaojin slapped his face, startling Tang Muchen.

He didn't expect that the little girl would say this, at first it sounded like nonsense, but when he thought about it, it made some sense.

Su Xiaojin knew that he would not be able to accept these words when he suddenly said them. However, she believes that with his medical skills, he can definitely find out the truth and return her mother-in-law's innocence.

"Speaking of which, if your mother is alive and well, she will be overjoyed to learn that you are pregnant. She has always been kind-hearted, and even if someone makes a mistake on weekdays, she is reluctant to punish her. Occasionally, when I see the children of the next person, they always give them a reward to buy food. Speaking of this, Tang Muchen's voice became lower and lower, and he was heartbroken when he recalled the past.

Su Zijin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, and tomorrow the two of them will go together to incense his mother-in-law. Telling the good news that she was pregnant made her old family happy.

"Mother-in-law has knowledge under the spring, and she will definitely bless our mother and son with safety." She said softly.

Tang Muchen nodded, looking at his knotted wife with reddish eyes, unable to say a word. Su Xiaojin knew that he didn't like sweet words, and when he looked at people with this kind of eyes, he appreciated it very much in his heart.

She smiled and smiled, and she was secretly proud in her heart, she was really an understanding and good wife and daughter-in-law.

The night was as cold as water, and the two walked back together. The wind gently blew the clothes of the two, Tang Muchen carefully helped her block the cool breeze, and supported her all the way back to the room to rest.
