Chapter 141: Poisoned Wine

Chapter 141

The dreary, suffocating air of the Xiao Mansion made Mengxi feel it. The day when she left the Xiao Mansion was near. She guessed not all right, but it was also eight or nine not far from ten, in the battle for the storage position, because the second master was confused for a while, the Xiao family was tantamount to queuing up this time, the prince was critically ill, the position of the prince was precarious, and the Xiao family was also stormy and facing the test of overturning.

Mengxi didn't know that in the east room of Shouxi Hall, she was experiencing a storm at this time, and she was even more dangerously on the verge of death.

The maids had already been sent out of the east side room, the waiter and the waiter were guarding the door, and in the east side room, Xiao Jun was kneeling on the ground, pleading bitterly to the old lady and the old man:

"Jun'er begged her grandmother and father to take back her life, the prince is critically ill, my Xiao family is facing difficulties, but marrying Xiu'er is useless, a few days ago, the management rights of the southern mineral deposits have been obtained. Jun'er has mobilized some funds to invest in the south, existing in the name of Shangguan Jun, these days, Jun'er will step up the mobilization, transfer the Xiao family's funds as soon as possible, and protect the backbone of the Xiao family's industry, send it to the south, and secretly bury the name to operate the minerals, grandma, although we don't have much time to prepare, but the Xiao family is a family after all, the tree has deep roots, even if King Yan ascends the throne, Emperor Jin is still there, and he does not dare to attack the Xiao family directly, he will only deal with the Xiao family's industry in the dark, and the Xiao family will lose some financial resources. But there may not be a real disaster of annihilation, not to mention that the Taoist priest once said that Jun'er and his cousin do not agree, Jun'er will never divorce his wife and marry another, and he hopes that his grandmother and father will be perfect."

When the old lady heard this, her lips trembled, she obviously looked at the door of this grandson who never entered the East Chamber, she thought that it would not be difficult for him to divorce his wife and marry another, when did Jun'er start to like Xi'er, she didn't know at all.

Thinking of Mengxi's concubine background, it is really wronged. opened her mouth to reveal this matter, broke the Xiao family's thoughts, and changed her mind, it was a foregone conclusion that Mengxi would go down today, and it was okay not to mention it, such a major event that humiliated the face of the Xiao family, it was good for her to know it alone, and it would not be good if the whole house knew about it.

Thinking of this, the old lady stabilized her mind and said:

"Jun'er is confused, I think that in the past month, in Pingyang City, there have been rumors, all saying that the Xiao family has protected the prince, especially the matter of your second uncle taking refuge in the prince, has already been spread, King Yan will not know, King Yan is not better than the prince, he is kind-hearted, this person is ruthless, in order to eradicate dissent. Unscrupulous means, once the prince is killed, in order to eradicate the prince's power as soon as possible, King Yan will definitely kill the monkey police chicken, first take my Xiao family to open the knife, looking at the government and the opposition, except for the prime minister Jia Guangzhong, are the forces of King Yan, just find someone to impeach your second uncle, your second uncle will be convicted all over the house, this son of evil, also knows that he has made a big disaster, and sent back the urgent letter yesterday, begging me to let Concubine Jing come forward to protect his family. ”

When the old lady said this, she paused, looked at the second master on the ground and continued:

"Jun'er is right, King Yan will not directly attack the Xiao family, but he can unite the Ouyang family and the Li family to suppress us economically, these two families have long been eyeing the Xiao family, such a great opportunity, how can I easily let it go, my Xiao family is empty, King Yan will fight the snake with the stick, and then the Xiao family will be destroyed, at that time, even if Concubine Jing and Emperor Jin want to protect it, I am afraid that they will not be able to take an example, not to mention. By that time, the Xiao family was already a useless person, since ancient times, the love of the emperor has been a mirror, I am afraid that when the time comes, Concubine Jing will also die soon, and it will not agree with the eight characters, there is always a way to crack it, but once the Xiao family is overturned, it is even more difficult to revive it! ”

After the old lady finished speaking, the eldest master continued:

"In the past two days, the Xiao family's property in Pingyang has been monitored by King Yan, and it is not easy to move a large amount of money. Jun'er, at this time, we can't touch the funds in Pingyang City, and there is no way to return to heaven for my father, according to your grandmother's meaning, it is also an expedient measure to divorce Xi'er and marry Xiu'er, there is Zhang Imperial Envoy to guarantee it and lobby King Yan, at least King Yan will believe that it is just a rumor that the Xiao family has protected the prince, and my Xiao family has always been neutral, and I can fight for a glimmer of opportunity for the Xiao family. Let's take a long-term view and make another plan, I'm afraid we will really have to give up your second uncle this time. ”

"But my father ......"

"Jun'er, for my father to understand, Xi'er is graceful and generous, decisive, and does have the demeanor of the head mother of the family, even the elders in the clan praise Jun'er for marrying a good daughter-in-law, in the father's heart, Xi'er is indeed a hundred times stronger than your cousin, not only Jun'er is reluctant. It's not a last resort, and my father is reluctant to let her go to court, it's my Xiao family who is ashamed of her. ”

"Father and grandma are reasonable, it's just that Jun'er is a dignified seven-foot man, how can he do something that is not as good as a pig and a dog in order to make a living, and tie the fate of the Xiao family to a woman, grandma, the prince is just critically ill, and there is no yet, we still have a chance, Jun'er still has time, Jun'er will come up with a good way, Jun'er doesn't like her cousin, Jun'er will never divorce her wife, ask grandma and father to fulfill it!"

Listening to her grandson's words, the old lady trembled, pointed at Xiao Jun and scolded:

"Brute! Brute! Your grandmother and your father are not as good as pigs and dogs! What did I do in my previous life, raising such unscrupulous children and grandchildren as you, and scolding the elders so much for a woman, it is difficult for me and your father to cultivate you since childhood, the foundation of the ancestors of the Xiao family is destroyed in my hands like this, what face do I have to see your dead grandfather, to see the ancestors and ancestors, it is better to die, so as not to see the disaster of my Xiao family! ”

After the old lady finished speaking, he stood up tremblingly, and hit the wall headlong, the eldest man got up and hugged the old lady, did not let her hit the wall, helped the old lady sit back on the chair, knelt at her feet and said:

"Mother is angry, Jun'er is not filial, let you bother, my son will definitely discipline Jun'er well. I beg my mother not to think about it, if the mother is like this, the son will have no place to stand."

"Grandma is angry, Jun'er is also anxious, she doesn't choose her words, she doesn't mean to insult grandma and father, Jun'er kowtows to you"

Xiao Jun, who was already stunned, saw that his father was also kneeling on the ground to ask his grandmother for sin, knowing that his grandmother had misunderstood him, and he was also busy kowtowing to ask for sin.

The old lady couldn't say a word, but kept muttering:

"O unjust, unjust ......"

Seeing that the old lady had calmed down, the eldest lord heard Xiao Jun's words on the side, raised his head and said to the old lady:

"Mother, please forgive my son for being rude"

After the old man finished speaking, without waiting for the old lady to speak, he stood up and shouted at the door:

"Someone!"

The waiter pushed the door in and blessed the old man:

"What does the lord command?"

"Go, prepare a cup of poisonous wine, send it to the east chamber of Xiao Xiangyuan, reward it to the second grandmother, tell her, it is my Xiao family who is sorry for her, today's matter, it is really a last resort, after her death, my Xiao family will bury her, and include her in my Xiao family genealogy, please enter the ancestral hall, so that future generations will worship and kneel, I Xiao Chen promised today that in the future, Jun'er will have a son, and he will definitely pass to her name and offer incense to her".
