Wanning's sedan chair arrived in front of the Wang family's mansion. She got out of the sedan alone, leaving the coachman on the sedan chair. The disciples of the Wang family seemed to recognize her: "You are Miss Li, right?" ”

"Yes. I'm here to find you young lady. ”

"Miss, please come in." Menzi didn't say a word and let her in.

Wanning walked into the courtyard and happened to meet Wang Pinhong.

As soon as Wang Pinhong saw her, he smiled and said, "Wanning, you are really a rare guest!" Since Ziang went to Qinfang Pavilion, I think you only have hatred for me. I thought you would never come to my house again. ”

"And thou knowest what thou hast done! It's really hateful, I don't want to see you again in my life. Now in your mansion, you can't hide from it, and it's not good to go too far. Wan Ning leaned over and said, "Wan Ning is reckless." ”

"I think it's good that you have something to say. I know you too, and I really care about him. But after all, I have no grudge against you in my past life and no enmity in this life. ”

"It's not called a vendetta! It was you who brought Brother Ziang badly. ”

"Do cats still eat fishy?"

"If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have gone to a place like Qinfang Pavilion, and he wouldn't hook up with Zhuyun."

"He's just that, don't blame me. His nature is like this, without Zhuyun, you promise that there will be no one else? You still think you know him well, he likes women, can't you see it? It must be a good thing that you suppress a man's nature? But he didn't feel sorry for you, he was very affectionate to you, what else are you not satisfied with? ”

Wan Ning said disdainfully: "Crooked! She felt that she had no common language with a young master like Wang Pinhong, who was a prodigal, and she had always had a prejudice against Wang Pinhong, so it was better to separate earlier. So he politely asked, "Is Mrs. Zun in the house?" ”

"In. I know that she alone in Manfu can still make you look at her, she is in the room. ”

"Where is Young Master Wang?" Wan Ning said in a low voice.

"You're not even going to forget my room with her, are you?"

"How so?"

Whether Wan Ning has forgotten or not, finding someone to accompany her is also a way of hospitality. Wang Pinhong motioned to the maid not far away.

"Young Master, you command."

"You take Miss Li to see the young lady."

"Yes."

"Miss Li, come with the slave."

Wan Ning bowed politely to Wang Pinhong and said, "I'm sorry." ”

The maid led Wanning to Wang Pinhong's couple's room, and Meng Jingyao was reading at the desk intently.

"Young lady, Miss Li is here."

Meng Jingyao slowly raised her head: "Wanning? You're here. Come in. ”

"Sister Meng, excuse me."

Meng Jingyao stepped forward and grabbed Wanning's hands, pulled her to the couch and sat down, and said with a smile: "Are you still polite to me?" You are in misfortune, and I should have seen you, and I am afraid that you will be noisy. Our two families also have some friendship. You haven't been here for a long time, plus Pin Hong pulled up Young Master Gao and did so many things to be sorry for you. I'm afraid that you will hate him, so it's good for you to come now. ”

After saying this, he turned to the maid beside him and commanded, "Bring the best fruit quickly." ”

"Yes."

Wan Ning looked at her with some doubts: "Sister Meng, some of Young Master Wang's behaviors are inappropriate, don't you complain?" ”

"I knew you would ask. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and this scripture in our family is the best to read like this. Let's just say you, hate Pinhong, I don't blame you for this, a woman will hate you. ”

The two chatted casually, but Wanning never explained her intentions.

Meng Jingyao knew that Wanning was riddled with trivial matters, and she must have something to do when she came to the mansion, and she must be embarrassed to say it, so she had to speak first: "Wanning, when we were children, the power in your mansion was monstrous, and the people around us were too late. The Meng family and the Li family also have a good relationship. After that, if something happened to your Li family, I didn't want to disturb it often, but I was worried about it. When I was a child, although we didn't have a lot of contact, after all, I was not like you, and I could still go to school. But there are also a lot of people who play together, and they can be regarded as acquaintances. Why are you so restrained now? If you have something to say, just say it. ”

Wan Ning took off the silver hairpin on her head, this hairpin is very old and is worth a lot of money. She said, "Sister, please take it." ”

Meng Jingyao also knows the value of this hairpin, her father fought on the battlefield back then, and the Li family did have some good things, and there were many things that she had never even seen.

But her face was slightly displeased: "Wanning, you know that I don't eat this, you still have something to say, just say it." ”

"My sister came today to ask my sister for my father's business. Originally, the major affairs of the court were not for our daughter's family to ask about, but the Li family was already like this. I believe that my sister must know my father's personality, he is not a timid person, and there is no need to be afraid of sin. He was killed by Zuo Linghong, and after his death, Uncle Gao, in order to plunder the Li family's property, encircled officials to impeach his father, making him bear the infamy of 'self-judgment for fear of crime'. ”

Wan Ning was talking, and the maid of the Wang family came up with a plate full of grapes: "Two young ladies, please use it slowly." ”

Meng Jingyao ordered: "Go down, no one is allowed to come in without my orders." ”

"Yes, miss."

As soon as the maid turned around and went out, Meng Jingyao said: "Wanning, it doesn't matter, she is my dowry girl, and she is quite smart, you can continue." ”

Wan Ning was about to continue, but was interrupted by Meng Jingyao: "Wait, Wan Ning, I'm a little confused. Aren't your Li family and the Gao family in-laws? How could Gao Daren do this? ”

"In Uncle Gao's eyes, there is no in-laws, only interests. As a result, he committed many crimes, accepting bribes, selling official positions, buying people's hearts, and forming parties for personal gain......"

"I still don't know something. Since I was a child, I have known that you are the prospective daughter-in-law of the Gao family, and you have a deep relationship with Young Master Gao, but the Gao family married your sister. Young Master Gao's personality is not like this! ”

"Sister Meng, this matter is a long story. It was not my own sister who married into the Gao family, she was the adopted daughter of the Li family. Being able to marry into the Gao family is a mistake. I came to your mansion today to ask my sister, and Lord Meng was demoted at the same time as my sister's father, and my sister hoped that Lord Meng would come forward to expose Uncle Gao's crimes. After speaking, Wan Ning walked down and saluted her.

Meng Jingyao immediately helped her up: "Hurry up, Wanning." At the same time, her face showed a little sadness, "But if you do this, how can you get along with Ziang?" ”

"Sister, I'll tell you the truth, I have no future with him, so you don't need to worry about us. knew that this matter was difficult for Master Meng, and if he didn't get it right, he would be burned. No matter how upright people are, they will have concerns, so they will come to my sister first. ”

"Wanning, you don't need to say it. I'll just help you. There are a few people like us who really live for themselves. You are just for your father and for the Li family. Since the Li family was condemned, the court has been neglected a lot, and it is a hot and cold world. Don't worry, I will tell my father, and I believe that he will be able to understand you. ”

Wan Ning bowed again and said, "Thank you, Sister Meng." ”

Meng Jingyao helped her up: "Okay, I said don't be polite to me, I'm really not used to it." Sit down, we sisters talk, people like us have a lot of affairs all day long, and we can finally calm down and talk. ”

Wan Ning took off the silver hairpin on her head again: "Sister Meng, you can accept it." Take it, I'm better off. ”

But Meng Jingyao still didn't accept it.
