Chapter III: Taken hostage

"Still young? General Gu's two sons were able to go into battle to kill the enemy when they were teenagers and made great contributions, and the eldest son of the Gu family was even younger and heroically martyred, you look at what you taught, day by day I only know that I don't know how to learn and have no skills, and I make trouble outside all day long, don't think that I don't know how many times you have secretly carried me behind my back to clean up the aftermath for him. After speaking, he looked at Chen with a displeased face.

"Isn't the Gu family destroyed now, what if the boy is brave and good at fighting, it may not be better than our family." Xi Qin looked disdainful.

After hearing this, Meng Yao clasped her hands and said in a deep voice: "The difference between what Brother Qin said, the Gu family's male son is not loyal to the country, he has ambition and strength, the country needs a man like the Gu family to go into battle to kill the enemy and keep one side safe, and now maybe he was framed by a traitor to end up like this." If it weren't for the father in our family, the younger brother might not be blessed to enjoy this glory and wealth at the same time, and at the same time sneer at others. ”

"What A-Yao said is very true, you, you, a dignified man is not as profound as your sister, you go to the ancestral hall for me to reflect on and repent after dinner, and if you don't want to understand, don't go back to the room to rest" Xiao Cheng scolded angrily.

"I think I had a few dealings with General Gu at the beginning, and I admired his personality and ambition very much, but it's a pity," sighed and left the table after taking a sip of wine.

walked to the door, turned his head, and waved to Meng Yao, who was still at the dinner table, with a relieved expression, and motioned for Meng Yao to help him go back.

When Meng Yao received it, she immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked quickly to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and helped her out.

Xi Qin looked unconvinced, and slammed the dining table hard, Nanlian also wanted to say Zhang Ke at the moment, but was deeply suffocated by Chen's warning with his eyes, and noticed that there were still subordinates guarding the dining table and eating with their heads bored.

"That Mengyao is just a motherless daughter, why has she always been favored by her father, I don't accept it, my mother does her best for this family, why doesn't my father know how good it is to miss my mother." Nanlian couldn't pretend to be able to pretend to be all her own people at the moment.

"Hmph, your father's court is busy with work, and he can't protect that cheap hoof for a while, why can't you help it, it didn't take long for her to get married, A-Niang casually found a child with an average family background to marry her, and trapped her in her husband's house for half her life so that she couldn't set off the storm, the glory and wealth of the Xiao family will be ours sooner or later, and now we have to calm down, so let that cheap hoof be proud for a while." Chen's face was fierce and calculating, and he was no longer the housemother who was knowledgeable and sympathetic to her children.

"Xiqin, you also go to the ancestral hall to think about it first, and then when your father is angry, you will personally confess to your father, presumably as the only concubine in the family, your father will not really think about your future."

The sky was still gray, Meng Yao was woken up by Ke Mei, under the command of Ke Mei, a group of maids dressed up for Meng Yao and went to the temple with her family to pray for blessings, and those maids were actually in the past few days in order to prevent Meng Yao, who had recovered her consciousness, from having another accident, regardless of Chen's opposition, personally arranged a few neat legs and smart maids for Meng Yao.

After a while, I saw Meng Yao dressed plainly and decently in front of everyone, Nanlian saw that Meng Yao was radiant at this moment, dressed brightly and brightly, and her heart was full of jealousy, but her father didn't dare to show it.

But Meng Yao could feel Nan Lian's murderous gaze, but pretended not to see anything, and ran to her father's side to be coquettish, which provoked Xiao Xiangyi's whole love and care, seeing this scene Nan Lian almost turned her back angrily, and Chen patted her back to comfort her after feeling her daughter's inappropriateness.

In less than an hour, everyone came to Lingyun Temple to worship, and a wrinkled monk walked up to Xiao Chengxiang after the Xiao family and his party finished worshipping, looked at Meng Yao and said unfathomably: "The daughter of Xiao Xianggong is really an extraordinary fate, and she will definitely bring supreme glory to the family in the future."

He also said to Meng Yao: "Now all arrangements have their own providence, and the donor only needs to do what he wants, and he will be able to turn the danger into a disaster and achieve his wish." ”

Seeing that the old monk said all good things to Xiao Henan and Xiao Mengyao, Chen couldn't help but beg the old monk to calculate it for himself.

The old monk looked at Chen's face and left a faint sentence: "Only by being cautious in words and deeds can you have a safe and smooth life." After leaving, the old monk was no longer visible when everyone reacted.

Chen secretly cursed the old monk for fooling people with an angry face, she didn't believe that Xiao Mengyao could be prosperous and wealthy at will, and she had to be cautious in her words and deeds in order to be safe.

Just now, after the old monk returned to the meditation room, he transformed into a white-haired old man under a spiritual light, and the figure disappeared in an instant.

Meng Yao found an excuse to leave Xiao's father and his party, and came to the depths of the temple alone to look for the old monk just now, Meng Yao had a hunch that the old monk should know a little bit about his situation.

After looking for a long time, I didn't find the figure who was about to leave, I heard hurried footsteps, and before Meng Yao could react, he felt the chill of the sword in his neck, held himself hostage with one arm, and then looked at the face of the person chasing the gangster behind him, and was surprised to find that it was the sixth prince.

The gangster behind him controlled himself and threatened the sixth prince not to move forward, otherwise he would take the woman's life.

When the sixth prince looked at the person who was held hostage and thought slightly, Meng Yao sneered and said: "Little brother, don't you overestimate the benevolence of the adult in front of you, do you think he will live and die for a stranger you have never met in exchange for your freedom?" ”

When the gangster heard this, he immediately hesitated, Meng Yao caught the gangster's hesitation and immediately bit the gangster's hand with his teeth, the gangster was in pain, and the sword in his hand also fell, just as the gangster was about to punch Meng Yao with his other hand, Meng Yao stepped back and kicked the gangster's lifeline accurately.

The gangster was hit hard and immediately fell to the ground and hugged the underneath, unable to move in pain, Meng Yao made up a few more feet to the gangster's chest and complained angrily: "If you dare to kidnap my aunt and grandmother, you are unlucky." ”

The sixth prince stared at the woman in front of him who looked weak with an incredulous expression.

"Makes the adults laugh." After saying that, he left quickly without looking back, and dared to ask the young lady which house he was from, so he would come to the door another day to thank him.

"Xiao Mengyao, the daughter of Prime Minister Xiao, adults should have never seen me, and don't go to the house to thank you. There is a fate to meet each other" waved goodbye behind his back, and it was rumored that this sixth prince was bloodthirsty and moody, so it was better to provoke less.

The sixth prince looked at the woman's figure and smiled evilly and said, "The daughter of Prime Minister Xiao is really interesting. ”

Xu Shi, who came late, skillfully tied up the gangster and asked, "What should I do with the eavesdropper, Lord Wang?" ”

"Handed over to Dali Temple for strict interrogation, until you tell the person behind it, remember not to let him die easily." Mu Linghan played with the jade ring on his hand and said emotionlessly.

Looking at Meng Yao, who was in a hurry, Xiao Chengxiang asked with a worried face, "Why haven't you seen you for so long?" ”

"The daughter felt that what the monk said was very reasonable, so she went to find out the details, but after asking many people, they said that they had never seen it."

"Hmph, it's just what a liar said, now it's probably because he ran away for fear of being discovered," Chen looked disdainful.

"The daughter looks at the monk's kind face, she looks very extraordinary, she is definitely not a charlatan, but the eldest mother is not said by the monk, and she doesn't dare to admit the monk's ability" Meng Yao asked with a harmless face.

Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "How could it be" but in his heart he wanted to tear this Meng Yao, who saw through his heart.
