Chapter 52: What Are You?
Xie Shi grimaced and looked at Old Lady Meng.
Mrs. Meng seemed to have just come back to her senses, and smashed the crutches in her hand on the bluestone slab, "What's the trouble!" Second, you come over to me and explain the matter first. ”
Meng Kun stared at Meng Zhiyi fiercely, and replied without looking back: "Mother, are you familiar with this box?" This is your dowry! ”
"Meng Zhiyi, your good granddaughter, actually calculated me like this and took away your dowry, so that I almost entered the yamen! Brother Lang, who was also harmed, married the slut of the Liu family, and all of this was done by Meng Zhiyi! Do you think I should teach her a lesson today? ”
Xie asked, "What dowry?" How can a mother's dowry be confined, and what does it have to do with you? ”
As soon as she asked this, Mrs. Meng's face changed.
Meng Kun was not afraid of people knowing at all, "What? My mother's dowry is for me to use, and I still need to explain it to you? ”
Mrs. Meng knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, but what surprised her even more was that it was Meng Zhiyi who robbed the dowry.
That's the money she secretly took out to pay off the second child's debts.
If it was really Meng Zhiyi who did it, then she was plotting to kill her relatives!
Old Lady Meng looked at Meng Zhiyi's gaze coldly, and ordered, "Zhiyi, open the box and take a look." ”
This is believing Meng Kun's words.
Meng Zhiyi said lightly: "What is in that box is not grandmother's dowry." ”
She kept looking at Meng Kun coldly, and she didn't look panicked at all. Xie Shi, who has always been gentle-minded, stands in front of herself so strongly, protecting and believing in herself, she will not be timid.
This day, sooner or later, will come.
It's just that she didn't expect that the second uncle was even more stupid than she imagined.
Meng Kun threatened: "You don't quibble! If you don't have a weak heart, open the box, or don't blame me for being unkind. ”
Xie was very anxious and worried.
Meng Xing is not at home, she has no one to rely on, and she doesn't know if she can protect Meng Zhiyi.
She asked for help and looked at Mrs. Meng, who had always loved Meng Zhiyi, but unfortunately she was also with Meng Kun, forcing Meng Zhiyi to look at her and asking her to open the box.
On that side, when Meng Mingyue saw such an atmosphere, she also shrank into the maid's arms and cried quietly.
She didn't know what to do.
wants to hold her younger daughter, but is worried that these people will bully her eldest daughter.
At this time, she felt that there was another person beside her.
It's Lu Nanfeng.
He also stood in front of his daughter, confronting Meng Kun with an indifferent expression.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Nanfeng would actually fight against the second master for her daughter, she was very pleased, he was not stage frightened.
Meng Zhiyi sneered, "Grandmother, second uncle, you all want me to open the box and say what is the dowry I took away in the box." So what if the box is not a dowry? ”
Mrs. Meng supported him, Meng Kun was even more confident, and felt more and more that Meng Zhiyi was weak and did not dare to open it.
"Meng Zhiyi, stop quibbling! It is useless to delay the time, so open the box quickly. ”
Mrs. Meng also said: "Zhiyi, open the box first for everyone to see." ”
Xie stiffened his neck and said, "Mother, second brother, this is Zhiyi's personal belongings, how can it be opened in front of so many people?" Knowing that there is no shortage of silver, she doesn't need to take any dowry from your second brother at all. ”
"Shut up." Old Lady Meng said sharply.
Meng Kun sneered, "You just have a weak heart, you are afraid, you have a ghost in your heart!" ”
Lu Nanfeng looked back at Meng Zhiyi, his eyes asking her opinion.
A thought flashed in Meng Zhiyi's heart, what she said at this time, Lu Nanfeng would do it.
The softest part of his heart shook fiercely, and the bit of anger towards Meng Kun in Meng Zhiyi's heart instantly came to naught.
"Second uncle, if this box is not a dowry, you have to apologize to me immediately, and tell me who gave you the news that you came to my room to steal these two boxes."
"What nonsense! If it weren't for the dowry in your box, I wouldn't have said anything. ”
Meng Kun couldn't hear what Meng Zhiyi meant, but Mrs. Meng knew.
She directly assured, "Don't worry, if the box is not a dowry, I will naturally have a good talk with your second uncle." ”
Meng Zhiyi glanced at Mrs. Meng.
Although she knew that she would favor her son, Meng Zhiyi still nodded.
She has been entangled for so long, just to want Mrs. Meng to see that her son has been bewitched by people and has no thoughts of his own. But she still doted on this son, and she was dragged into an unkind situation herself.
"Winter Solstice, go get the key."
Dong Solstice entered the house, took out a key, glanced at Meng Zhiyi, walked over and opened the box.
All of them looked curiously at the two delicate large boxes.
Even Meng Mingyue, who had been crying, looked over with big eyes.
Meng Kun even stepped forward and stared at the box without blinking, as if he was afraid that if he was not careful, the box would be opened, and the dowry inside would fly away.
The winter solstice lifts the lid of the box and moves sideways so that everyone can see it clearly.
"Second master, look at it."
Meng Kun glanced at it, and as if he didn't believe it, he pushed the winter solstice aside, reached out and pulled it a few times inside the box.
"What? What is it? ”
In disbelief, he turned everything out and threw it on the ground.
Mother Yang also picked up the fallen on the ground and handed it to Mrs. Meng so that she could take a closer look.
As if afraid that everyone would not be able to see clearly, the winter solstice also made the little girl raise the lantern in her hand.
Meng Zhiyi raised his chin slightly, his eyes disappointed and sad and aggrieved, "What else does the second uncle want to say?" ”
Without waiting for Meng Kun to answer, Dong Solstice opened another box, which still contained the same thing.
"Impossible! What about the dowry! Meng Zhiyi, this box must have been dropped by you! ”
Meng Kun roared angrily and rushed towards Meng Zhiyi.
Lu Nanfeng glanced at Meng Zhiyi, there seemed to be an inexplicable darkness in her eyes, only her tenacious figure was printed, like a different color in the sea, unique.
He didn't expect that she would keep these carved horses.
Moreover, it is as complete as this.
He always knew that Meng Zhiyi left these wood carvings to check the news he had delivered or something, but he didn't expect that they were so well preserved.
"Second Master Meng, you have gone too far."
Lu Nanfeng stood in front of Meng Zhiyi and said coldly.
"What are you, is it your turn to speak here?"
Meng Kun stretched out his hand and wanted to smoke Lu Nanfeng, but was blocked by Meng Zhiyi, who suddenly appeared.
"Smack."
A crisp sound.
Meng Kun's slap hit Meng Zhiyi's face.
Meng Zhiyi fell to the ground.
Lu Nanfeng didn't guard against her suddenly appearing, and hurriedly squatted down to help her up.
Meng Zhiyi covered his face and leaned on Lu Nanfeng's arms, protected by his arms. She could feel that Lu Nanfeng's body was cold and wanton, and the green tendons on his neck were bulging, holding back his anger.
Meng Zhiyi didn't care about why Lu Nanfeng was so angry, he only showed a pair of eyes and looked at Mrs. Meng, and her voice was sad, "Grandmother, why do you and your second uncle have to say that I took the dowry?" I have not seen my grandmother's dowry. I have never lacked silver flowers, and I don't covet my grandmother's dowry, I don't understand why my second uncle framed me like this. ”
Old Lady Meng's face was gloomy.
These words were not asking Meng Kun, but more like questioning her.
Grandmother, why don't you trust your granddaughter?
Mrs. Meng was in a hurry, and only then did she think of how unsuccessful and unscrupulous her second son was.
Why should you believe his word? Since he was a child, when did he say anything to the ground?
"You bastard, you dare to hit my precious granddaughter!"
Mrs. Meng felt ashamed of Meng Zhiyi, even more ashamed of the eldest family who worked hard to support this family, and even more ashamed of Meng Kun's harm to become a confused old thing.
All the awakenings turned into a heavy blow and slammed into Meng Kun's back.
Meng Kun was beaten and fell to the ground.
Mrs. Meng didn't feel relieved, so she went up with two sticks and beat Meng Kun.
Mother Yang was thinking about blocking it, but when she came into contact with Meng Zhiyi's cold gaze, she retracted her hand in fright.
The eldest lady has been pampered since she was a child, and now because the second master has been slapped, this matter will not be over.
The old lady is beating Meng Kun in front of so many people now, and she also wants Meng Zhiyi to dissipate her anger, and when Meng Xing comes back, it will not be good to have another attack.
All in all, she knew that Meng Kun had done something wrong, but she still thought about him.
Meng Zhiyi turned her head, and Lu Nanfeng raised her hand cooperatively, blocking her sight.
In front of Meng Zhiyi's eyes was the hot temperature of Lu Nanfeng's chest, and there was a wisp of medicinal fragrance on his body.
Make her feel comfortable.
Meng Zhiyi sighed softly, and the depression in his heart was still strong.
"Mother, mother, I don't know, I don't want to fight Zhiyi......." Meng Kun hugged his head and begged for mercy, but he didn't dare to hide.
Mrs. Meng also pretended to hit three sticks, and she was angry as if she had no strength.
"You, what are you capable of, and you dare to do it to your family? If you don't apologize, go and apologize to Zhiyi. ”
Meng Kun squatted on the ground and didn't move, still unconvinced.
Meng Zhiyi listened to Mrs. Meng's voice, and said in his heart that it was okay that they were a little afraid of their father.
Old Mrs. Meng was very unsuccessful, and when she saw that Meng Kun did not move, she was a stick again, "Are you deaf?" ”
Meng Kun came to Meng Zhiyi's face, "Zhiyi, you don't know if you look at the second uncle, isn't he looking for something, when he saw your box, he wanted to open it and take a look, forget it, I'm still busy." ”
After he finished speaking, he ran away with a puff of smoke.
Xie Shi furrowed his brows and looked at Meng Zhiyi distressedly.
But her status in the Meng family was too low, and no one could listen to her.
But when the master comes back, she must let the master call the shots!
Mrs. Meng couldn't see the situation of Meng Zhiyi, who was surrounded by Lu Nanfeng, so she had to say softly:
"Zhiyi, I wronged you today, your second uncle is also in a hurry, don't blame her. Don't worry, I'll teach him a good lesson. ”
After finishing speaking, he asked Yang's mother to get the best ointment.
