"Because, I want the Huai'an Hou Mansion to be destroyed." Zhao Yan replied lightly.

"What?" Mencius was shocked and blurted out, "Why?" ”

Is that Zhao Yan's mother's house?

Zhao Yanxing's apricot eyes blinked lightly, and the crow-blue long eyelashes flashed twice like a small fan, and a little moisture and drunkenness came out of the bottom of her dark eyes: "Because, they killed my mother." ”

Mencius looked at her with wide eyes, he only knew that Zhao Yan's mother was long gone, and Zhao Yan's father seemed to be continuing the strings soon, and he didn't know anything about it.

"To be specific, it is the Huai'an Hou Mansion and the Fuguo Mansion together that killed my mother." Zhao Yan held her cheek with one hand and said casually: "They are also in-laws, can I call them wishful?" ”

Mencius was stunned: "Therefore, it is you who ...... the destruction of the Fuguo Mansion You ......"

He couldn't believe it.

A weak woman can bring down such a big family?

His state of mind at the moment was both shocked and incredible, and it was difficult to describe in words.

"Next is the Huai'an Hou Mansion." Zhao Yan smiled at him: "You don't have to look at me like this.

A person from a family like yours will never know how a four or five-year-old child, dependent on his younger brother, grew up in the hands of his stepmother.

Oh yes, my brother was also crippled by them, paralyzed in bed all year round, life is better than death. ”

She told the story in one go, without hypocrisy, without tears, or even the slightest sadness.

It's like nothing has anything to do with her.

She is like this, looking even more distressing, Mencius can't help but think, how much suffering she has to endure and how many sins she has suffered before she can calmly say all this?

And he, before this, was still struggling with whether to report her?

This is the true heinousness of sin.

Zhao Yan looked at Mencius with a smile, and successfully saw the distress and guilt on Mencius's face.

She can rest easy.

Mencius would not have said anything.

Although there is no conclusive evidence in Mencius's hands, with Mencius's character and the prestige of his father and grandfather in the court, it will still be a huge trouble if her words come out of Mencius's mouth.

Nipping this trouble in the bud is the purpose of her banquet today.

"The Huai'an Hou Mansion is destroyed, so ...... What about you? ”

It took a while for Mencius to find his voice.

"Me?" Zhao Yan laughed meaninglessly: "I didn't think about it, it's a big deal." ”

"No!" Mencius suddenly got up.

Zhao Yan turned her head and looked at him with a smile: "What are you anxious about?" ”

Mencius felt out of shape, his white face flushed, he sat down at a loss, and said after a while: "The eldest girl is still so young, she can't be so unprecious about her life, not to mention that you still have a younger brother to take care of." ”

"Him." Zhao Yan pinched the wine cup and raised it to look at the cherry pink wine inside: "It's time to learn to take care of yourself." ”

"Big girl, don't be impulsive." Mencius advised her: "If you want revenge, you don't have to lose your ......"

"Lord Meng is willing to help me?" Zhao Yan looked at him with a smile.

Mencius straightened up for a moment, and asked in a thoughtful tone, "What does the eldest girl want me to help with?" ”

"For example, when will the shop that my stepmother gave me open?" Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him.

Her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and her casual demeanor is full of manners.

Mencius almost didn't dare to look directly, and his tense body relaxed: "I want to go back and discuss this matter with my colleagues before deciding."

After all, the shop, the tax money has not yet been paid. ”

"It's okay." Zhao Yan smiled and said, "It's okay to open up for trading."

I sold the shop at a low price and bought another one.

Don't know if it's convenient? ”

Selling is to sell, buying is not necessary, and then she will have to go away, and these shops are not going to stay.

Mencius thought about it and nodded: "It should be possible, but I have to discuss it with my colleagues before I can give the eldest girl a letter." ”

"Don't worry, when is it, you can let someone tell me." Zhao Yan stood up as she spoke, and said with a smile: "I am full of wine and food, I am going back to take a nap."

It's time to delay Lord Meng today. ”

"The big girl doesn't have to say such an extraneous thing." Mencius hesitated for a moment, and said quickly: "In the future, if there is anything wrong with the eldest girl, I can help, just send someone to talk to me." ”

"That's not going to happen." Zhao Yan smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "What I do is something that can't be put on the table, and I can't muddy your good jade."

Farewell. ”

She said that, and walked away.

Mencius stood in place, raised his hand to touch the place where she had patted his body, and the tip of his nose seemed to be lingering with the unique aroma of milk peach on her body, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

When he cleaned up his emotions and went downstairs to pay for the meal, he was told that Zhao Yan had already paid.

He stood under the Huanmencai building of the restaurant, and he came out for a long time.

Zhao Yan is always like this, saying that she will ask him to treat her, but she will pay the silver every time.

seems polite, but in fact, I don't want to owe him anything.

He couldn't understand what kind of person Zhao Yan was.

But he wanted to help her.

He even wanted to marry her, and when he married her, she had nothing to do with the Huai'an Hou Mansion.

No matter how the Huai'an Hou Mansion falls, it will not have anything to do with her.

But how can the parents and elders in the family agree?

In the past, he had always felt that it was an honor for him to be born in such a mansion.

Now, he realized that glory is actually a shackle.

He sighed, shook his head, and walked slowly in the direction of home.

＊

Yang Pujin came to Wanchen Courtyard every day and sat until midnight before leaving.

Sometimes, Zhao Yan would arrange for him to sleep in the side room and leave for two days.

Zhou Yu seems to be very idle recently, Yang Pujin came, and he also came.

Even when he was too busy to be ugly, he would come, hug Zhao Yan and sleep with him until early in the morning, and toss her before he was willing to leave.

Zhao Yan asked him to toss for a day, and often slept in the blue sky and daytime for half a day.

Jiang Qingrou came to test a few times, but only saw Zhao Yan once, and the rest of the times, the maidservants all said that Zhao Yan was tired and asleep.

Jiang Qingrou went to tell Yang Jiang about it.

The two compared, Yang Pujin was called by Zhao Yan every day, and it must have been what Yang Pujin did that worked.

Yang Jiang sent the medicinal powder to Yang Pujin and asked him to use it for Zhao Yan.

That night, this medicinal powder was placed in front of Zhao Yan.

"It can increase the fun, but it can empty the body." Zhao Yan put down the medicine powder packet and chuckled: "Yang Jiang is really cruel to me. ”

"You can see that she is going to put you to death." Yang Pujin picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"It's been almost a month, you should be almost ready over there, right?" Zhao Yan stretched her legs, leaned back in the chair, and looked at him leisurely.

"Hmm." Yang Pujin nodded: "It's just an excuse to take my mother out."

The day after tomorrow, June 19, is the day when Guanyin attains enlightenment.

Yang Jiang would send someone to go to the temple to copy the scriptures for her and stay in the temple for seven days. ”

"Seven days is enough for you to take your mother away and fly away." Zhao Yan looked at him with a smile.

"Yes, the heavens and the earth are vast, and after seven days, they will never find our mother and son again." On Yang Pujin's face, slowness is bound to win: "I don't know if the eldest girl has arranged a place for me?" ”

"Let's go to Shuzhong." Zhao Yan said lightly: "My grandfather's house is over there, although the road is far away, but it is safe."

You are the son of a distant cousin of mine.

My cousin was in business when he was young, and he never returned home, so he probably had an accident.

You and your mother are his wives and children, and they have found their roots, and there are houses and lands over there.

I have prepared a silver ticket for you, and you can buy a few servants to serve your mother along the way, and someone will answer you when you get there. ”

As she spoke, she took a stack of silver tickets and placed them on the table.

Yang Pujin got up and saluted her solemnly: "In this way, I thank the eldest girl." ”

"It's just a deal, it doesn't have to be so polite." Zhao Yan just smiled, you don't care.

Yang Pujin took the silver ticket and put it in his sleeve: "Then I won't sell it."

and Ninghou Mansion, this will be informed. ”

"There's no hurry." Zhao Yan smiled and said, "You can tell me when you leave." ”

"The big girl trusts me so much, I shouldn't be a villain." Yang Pujin raised his eyes and looked at her and said, "In the Heninghou Mansion, there is a dark room in my father's study. ”
