The Pingxi Hou Mansion, which slowly calmed down, ushered in a pair of unexpected guests.

It was the godgranddaughter of the eldest princess Zhaoshou who had previously held a banquet to announce the adoption of the world, Wei Yueying.

and her brother, Wei Yuesheng.

Wei Yuesheng is the scholar who had a relationship with Qiao Huaping on the side of the road before.

Wei Yuesheng blushed, and Qiao Huaping repeatedly argued: "I didn't know it was Mrs. Hou at the time, I was offended." ”

He rushed out to save Qiao Huaping in the hands of those gangsters, but he almost gave himself away.

In the end, it was Qiao Huaping who turned the tide.

Qiao Huaping smiled and asked the maid to pour tea: "It's okay." I don't know if the two of you are coming, but what's the matter? ”

Wei Yueying said: "There is a matter. An old friend of mine and my brother came to the capital, and he was from the Wu Shuimei clan. He heard that the Marquis of Pingxi was born to be so similar to the people in his clan, so he specially asked to see him. ”

Wei Yueying said sincerely: "I know that this request is very presumptuous, but I also ask Mrs. Hou to see my face and meet Master Hou." ”

Wei Yueying's faction of the eldest princess Zhaoshou, during the turmoil some time ago, stood firmly with the royal orthodoxy represented by the Empress Dowager Zhou at that time.

From this point alone, Qiao Huaping is indeed willing to give her Wei Yueying a face.

What's more, Qiao Huaping's mind moved slightly when he heard Wu Shuimei's.

"There are so many people like each other in the world." Qiao Huaping didn't agree immediately, but smiled, "However, being born similar is also some kind of fate." When the Hou Ye comes back, I will ask him what he means. ”

Qiao Huaping did not immediately refuse, which shows that this matter has become more than half.

Wei Yueying smiled and chatted with Qiao Huaping for a while, and then retired.

After leaving the Pingxi Hou Mansion, Wei Yueying turned around and said to Wei Yuesheng a little helplessly: "Brother, can't you restrain your eyes?" ”

Wei Yuesheng was startled, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to admit it: "What are you talking about?" ”

"What else?" Wei Yueying sighed, "Others can't see it, can't I, who is a sister, see it?" The way you look at Mrs. Pingxihou isn't quite right. ”

Wei Yuesheng's cheeks were flushed, obviously ashamed: "I, I don't mean anything else...... It's ......"

Wei Yueying said: "Brother, I understand what you mean, Mrs. Pingxi Hou has an excellent demeanor, and it is understandable that you admire her, but they are already married, and they have five children." ”

Wei Yuesheng was so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head: "Sister, I, I really don't mean anything else...... I, I know it all. ”

Wei Yueying patted Wei Yuesheng's shoulder, sighed, and didn't say anything more.

Even though she thinks that her brother is also very good, compared to Pingxihou, it is still far behind.

The brother and sister went to a small courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.

Their old friend lived in the courtyard.

"Brother Mei, we have already spoken to Mrs. Pingxihou." Wei Yuesheng looked at the mask that occupied half of the face of this old friend of the Mei family, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

I think that back then, when he went to Beijing with his sister, Brother Mei was still a beautiful man.

Goodbye now, but Brother Mei is already covered with a mask.

It's really breathtaking.

The Mei man said hoarsely: "There is a brother and sister of Lao Xian." ”

Wei Yueying was a little curious and said, "Brother Mei, that Pingxi Hou, could it be that he is really from your Mei family?" ”

The Mei man smiled hoarsely, and his emotions were hidden under the mask: "It's hard to say." However, in our clan, more than ten years ago, there was a wicked man who killed several clansmen, and I still have to call that wicked man a cousin. It's just that after so many years, the wicked man has not been found...... Before the loss of amnesia, the Pingxi Hou clearly had the surname Mei, but he had to be incognito; In addition, he was born to resemble me. I can't say it's him. ”

Wei Yueying was silent, and confirmed with the Mei man again: "You just want to confirm whether the other party is from that clan, right?" ”

The Mei man stroked the mask on his face and suddenly laughed: "That's nature. ”

Wei Yuesheng was a little nervous.

If Pingxihou is really the kind of wicked person who can kill his own people, then Mrs. Pingxihou ...... And how?

A day later, the Pingxi Hou Mansion handed a message to Wei Yueying from the Zhaoshou Eldest Princess Mansion, asking where to meet.

Wei Yueying helped the Mei man make an appointment with Pingxihou to meet at a location.

It is a quiet tea room on the outskirts of the city.

Qiao Huaping went with Mei Yuan.

There was no one in the tea room, and the masked man was standing by the window with his back to the door.

Hearing the movement of opening the door, he turned around and saw Mei Yuan at a glance.

The masked man trembled slightly, and his voice was hoarse: "It's you—it's really you." ”

Mei Yuan said in a deep voice: "You know me? Who the hell am I? ”

The masked man didn't answer Mei Yuan's words, just stared at Mei Yuan's face, staring at it deadly.

After a while, he seemed to come back to his senses, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, I was so excited that I lost my temper." ”

He made a gesture of "please" and invited Mei Yuanqiao to take a seat.

The shopkeeper came over and poured tea for the three of them, and retreated silently.

The masked man smiled bitterly: "Pingxihou, did you really forget?" ”

Mei Yuan said very simply: "I forgot everything." ”

The masked man lowered his eyes, and under the mask, he couldn't see any expression on his face, but he could only hear his voice with a little bitterness: "...... You've forgotten about it. ”

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, in his hoarse voice: "Your name is Mei Shen, and you are the eldest son of the Mei family's main lineage." Later, I was dissatisfied with some of Mei's style, especially when your sister eloped with others and gave birth to a son, and was found and imprisoned by the clan, which made you dissatisfied with some of the clan's attitude......"

"Later, you took the child and left."

"The clan also sent people to look for you at first, but you seemed to have disappeared, and they couldn't find any trace of you."

“…… Later, you didn't know where to hear that your sister was also going to be forcibly married to someone from another family in Wushui. Your sister has a sweetheart, and the first time you appeared in the clan after many years, you helped your sister elope with her sweetheart......"

Qiao Huaping couldn't help but look at Mei Yuan.

Mei Yuan, Mei Shen, his method of using this pseudonym is quite simple.

Mei Yuan couldn't see any emotion on his face.

The masked man spoke for a moment, then stopped, and took another sip of tea.

He coughed, and his voice was still hoarse like an eighty-year-old man: "...... Until now, it has been almost fourteen or fifteen years since you left the Mei Clan. ”

Mei Yuan was silent for a while.

Qiao Huaping didn't speak.

After the masked man finished speaking, his eyes looked directly at Mei Yuan.

Mei Yuan seemed to be deep in thought.

After a while, he spoke slowly: "It seems that I really didn't like the Mei family very much in the past. ”
