Meng Lang was not convinced, "Liu Yun, what did you sue me in front of my sister again? Sister, what are you saying like I'm going to do with her? Isn't our Meng family still treating her badly?"

Whether it's good or not, this matter has to be said by her party to be useful.

Meng Zhiyi glanced at him, "What have you been busy with lately?"

"Recently, I'm not busy with the New Year, so I'll help my uncle deliver New Year's goods or something."

Meng Zhiyi raised his eyebrows, looking disbelieving.

Meng Lang hurriedly said, "If you don't believe it, go ask the uncle! There are so many contacts in our Meng family, don't they all have to be personally supervised by me to deliver them? I'm going to break my leg for the next few days."

"It would be nice if you could worry about the family."

Meng Lang smiled a little proudly, "That's not necessary! In the future, our Meng family will not have to count on me."

Meng Zhiyi also laughed, "If you want to count on you, then you have to learn a lot, and you have to have more snacks."

"I know."

Looking at Meng Lang's appearance, it is also a bit reliable.

Meng Zhiyi thought of what Liu Yun had just told him, if he mentioned it to Meng Lang at this time, he would definitely think that he had done it himself.

Meng Zhiyi felt that such a thing still had to be explained clearly by the two of them, so he turned to Liu Yun and said, "You two are both eating here at noon, you just happened to have a lot of work at noon."

Meng Lang thought, going back to inevitably be nagged by the Liu family again, "Okay! I heard that you have a new chef in your kitchen, so I just gave it a try."

It seems that Meng Lang is also very concerned about the things at home, and he also knows that something happened to her small kitchen here.

Meng Zhiyi also just wanted to see how Meng Lang and Liu Yun got along. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage. If Meng Lang is still saved, Meng Zhiyi also hopes that the two of them can be well.

After all, she has always been optimistic about Liu Yun.

Lunch.

After serving the table, Liu Yun waited for Meng Lang, brought him a handkerchief to wipe his hands, held chopsticks, handed a spoon, served soup, and was busy without eating a bite.

Meng Zhiyi had been watching quietly, and suddenly found that when she was eating with Lu Nanfeng, Lu Nanfeng seemed to treat herself like this.

Every time, he was busy with these things, and it was not until he had almost eaten that he began to eat. Although Lu Nanfeng was not as humble as Liu Yun appeared, they did the same thing.

Meng Zhiyi couldn't help but think that Lu Nanfeng was afraid that he also had the same plan as Liu Yun. But why didn't you just throw the book to her when you left that day?

"Miss, I'll bring you some soup too!"

Without waiting for Meng Zhiyi to speak, Meng Lang first tightened his brows, and said unhappily, "Liu Yun, why do you call my sister Miss?"

Liu Yun was a little at a loss, and put down the outstretched hand again, looking like she had done something wrong.

Meng Zhiyi said, "Meng Lang, you mean that since she is married to you, she should call me sister like you, right?"

"Hmph. I didn't say that." Meng Lang snorted coldly.

Meng Zhi looked at him as if he didn't want to admit it, and looked at Liu Yun again. Liu Yun still bit her lip and lowered her head, obviously feeling that Meng Lang was scolding her for not being qualified.

Meng Lang was arrogant and unwilling to say it clearly, and Liu Yun was humble and unwilling to believe it. That's the problem between the two of them.

"Sister Yun, you are still the master of the Meng family now, you have to remember that your identity is the second lady of the Meng family. You don't have to wait at the dinner table, just eat it yourself!"

"That's it! It's like you're the only one who has a long hand." Meng Lang seemed to realize that something was wrong, and then said.

Liu Yun's face is not good-looking, with Meng Lang here, she is cautious in everything she does, and she is even more restrained. Rao is Meng Zhiyi sandwiched dishes for her several times, and she also ate very slowly.

After eating a meal, I only heard Meng Lang always blaming Liu Yun, and the latter just kept his head shut and didn't speak, Meng Zhiyi had a feeling that her anger was reduced.

Meng Zhiyi was also in an unhappy mood, and when he looked at Meng Lang's virtue, he was stunned

Ziqi.

After eating, Meng Lang still led the person back. Before leaving, Meng Zhiyi gave Liu Yun a steady look.

"Miss." Escort Zhang appeared at the door.

"Come in."

With Meng Zhiyi's permission, Zhang Huwei walked in.

"The woman from the Yang family who came to deliver the New Year's goods ran away. The head of the Yang family has already gone to see the master, and he should explain the snake in the fox fur he sent."

The Yang family has always relied on the Meng family to do business, and if they don't have a big enough interest, it is impossible for them to betray the Meng family. While it is possible that they were exploited, the true outcome is unknown.

"Leave the snake matter to my father! He'll make a judgment."

Escort Zhang nodded and continued, "After Xu Zerong brought Mrs. Xu back, he took a carriage out of the city. Inside the cell, the steward committed suicide. I heard the news from the boss that Feng Xianling found something on the steward's body, and the catcher didn't see what it was, but that thing made Feng Xianling's face ugly."

"Have you found anyone to follow Xu Zerong?"

Zhang Huwei: "The boss's man followed."

"What's going on with the Zhou family?"

Zhang Huwei: "Zhou Yongheng has been staying in the mansion for the past two days, and he hasn't seen anyone come out. But there are boxes and boxes of New Year's goods, which are sent out everywhere."

Meng Zhiyi was very puzzled: "Do you know exactly where it will be sent?" Now, most of the Zhou family has gone to Kyoto, and even if they send New Year's goods, they are sent from Kyoto. Could it be that these things are all arranged by Zhou Yongheng?"

Zhang Huwei was naturally not aware of these decisions of the Zhou family.

Meng Zhiyi suddenly thought of something, "In previous years, did the Zhou family send the New Year's goods to the Meng family at this time?"

Zhang Huwei looked at Dong Solstice, who realized that this question was being asked of her, and quickly replied, "Yes. In previous years, Zhou Gongzi would personally send New Year's goods over."

But by this time this year, it has not been delivered. Z.br>

Meng Zhiyi leaned on the soft couch and pondered for a moment, "Winter Solstice, you go to the Plum Garden and ask my mother what kind of things you sent to the Zhou family this year. If she hasn't delivered it yet, let her send it early tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Dong Solstice hurriedly walked out.

Escort Zhang was still standing aside waiting for orders, but he saw that Meng Zhiyi was in a daze.

"Is there any movement over there at Iron Mouse Mountain?"

Zhang Huwei: "Our people don't dare to get too close, but there is no movement in the mountains at the moment. But yesterday two more carriages passed from there."

Why is it all quiet all of a sudden?

Meng Zhiyi's fingers unconsciously tapped on the armrests of the soft couch, and Escort Zhang quietly glanced at Meng Zhiyi, slowly slowing down his breathing, waiting for Meng Zhiyi to sort out these things.

Meng Zhiyi asked softly, "Are all the New Year's goods shipped out from the Zhou family going outside Jiangnan City?"

"Yes." Escort Zhang replied, and added, "In previous years, the Zhou family also had to be transported out of the city a lot."

After all, whether it is the Meng family or the Zhou family, their business is all over the country, and Jiangnan City is not the only one.

"What about the Xu family?"

Zhang Huwei: "In this way, the Xu family is very quiet this year. Normally, at this time, the Xu family also had to give out a lot of New Year's goods to the stewards who worked for the family than the Meng family, and it seems that this year has not started yet."

"Is it because they have no money? I think if they want to ship salt and grain, it's a good excuse to use New Year's goods."

Zhang Huwei: "Although Chunfeng Mansion is no longer the Xu family, there is still a golden building as the main source of income. I've been looking at Jinlou's business lately, and it's pretty good."

Meng Zhiyi slowly leaned back on the soft couch, "Xu Zerong should have discovered those albums, according to his character, he should have a seizure of Mrs. Xu at this time. But he ran out of the city......

Zhang Huwei guessed, "It may be that kind of thing that was searched from the steward, which not only made Feng Xianling very nervous, but also made Xu Zerong

I was nervous."

"That's the only one possibility. Xu Zerong is out of the city, so you are optimistic about when he will come back, and if you are in the city, pay more attention to the movements of the wind and He Yang."

"Yes." Escort Zhang nodded, "Miss, do you have any other orders?"

"No. Just pay more attention to what is going on on all sides."

"Yes." Escort Zhang walked out.

The room was quiet all of a sudden, Meng Zhiyi thought about it, and came to the door with a cloak.

A gust of wind blew in winter, which made Meng Zhiyi's comfortable body just now extremely sober, and it was also conducive to her thinking about these things.

On the winter solstice, I went to the plum garden and walked around, and when I came back, I saw Meng Zhiyi standing under the corridor against the cold wind.

"Girl, why did you come out?" Dong Solstice hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the cloak on her shoulder.

"What did my mother say?"

Winter Solstice: "Madame really hasn't delivered it yet, I told Madame what you said, she has already asked people to prepare things and send them early tomorrow morning."

Meng Zhiyi nodded, "What about Bai Shao?"

Winter Solstice hesitated, "Say so. I really didn't seem to see her for the past two days. Wait, girl, I'll have you go to the big kitchen and have a look."

"Go ahead!"

The winter solstice leaves again.

Meng Zhiyi didn't know why, and suddenly wanted to go to the study. When she came to her senses, she was already standing at the door of the study.

Thinking that there was no one else in this courtyard, let alone anyone who would spy on her thoughts, Meng Zhiyi boldly pushed open the door of the study and walked in.

It's just that there is no one living for a few days, and although there are maids cleaning every day, she still sees a sense of loneliness.

Meng Zhiyi reached out and touched the table where Lu Nanfeng used to sit in the past, and his fingertips slid over it, leaving a shallow and transparent trace, but it soon disappeared again.

She walked slowly around the desk and looked around, but found not the slightest trace of the man left here. She turned to the window facing the back garden, the edge of which was a little dusty, and there were traces of wood grinding in the corners of the window, which she thought was often opened.

Meng Zhiyi glanced at the depressed flower garden outside the window, and secretly said that there is indeed no place to hide in winter, and it is time for Lu Nanfeng to change places.

She went back to the back room, and went around the bookshelves, where there was a simple bed, neatly covered with a chair and nothing else.
