Chapter 26: Denial
Although he knew that his identity would not be able to hide sooner or later, he had long suspected that the catastrophe of the Mei family ten years ago was committed by the Yan family.
But hearing the truth coming out of Mei Gang's mouth, Mei Xue's heart was once again bloodily shattered.
It's just that Emperor Mingde wanted to make up for the guilt of his subordinates, but the holy decree of establishing a flat wife made the Yan family have wolf ambitions, and then ruined the lives of hundreds of people.
Later, Mrs. Mei died twice, Qiao An's soul was annihilated, her father and brothers and sisters died tragically, and her mother died with hatred.
Mei Xue's face was pale, she bit her lip tightly and lowered her head, her hands crossed on her lap trembled faintly, and it took her a while to breathe a sigh of relief, raise her head and look at Mei Gang and say:
"I'll tell you again, my name is Mei Xue, my father Mei Jingchen, my mother Han, and Mama Mei is my aunt.
The girl you are looking for died on the banks of the Jinsha River with my father and brother ten years ago, and my mother has also passed away for many years.
After I return to Beijing, I will seek justice for my father and brother, if you want to avenge the Mei family, you can follow me.
You have an old relationship with my aunt, and from now on, I will call you "Uncle Mei", and you can call me "Miss Mei".
But if you insist that I am Miss Joe, then we will part ways today and have nothing to do with each other in the future. ”
Xiao Yan was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, and hurriedly went to see Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie, but found that they all looked indifferent.
It's just that the usual smile on Li Jinzhi's face is gone, and he quietly looks at Mei Xue sideways, with a trace of distress in his eyes.
Mei Gang was stunned, and it took a long time to kowtow to Mei Xue, and choked up and called "Miss Mei".
Mei Xue stood up and helped Mei Gang up with both hands, she didn't have the strength to say anything, so she could only bow her head towards Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie, and then walked out slowly.
The moonlight was cold, but the back of the girl's departure was even colder.
Li Jinzhi stood up and said to Gao Yuan:
"Since Miss Mei calls him uncle, from now on, you must also respect him as an elder, and you must not be contemptuous in the slightest."
Gao Yuan nodded, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to support Mei Gang.
Xiao Yan finally came back to his senses, but Li Jinzhi had already turned around and walked towards the east bedroom, obviously not wanting to talk more.
He had to look at Song Zhijie as if asking for help, tonight's change was too big, and he couldn't digest it a little.
It doesn't matter whether Mei Xue is Mei Xue or Qiao Anyi, anyway, she is a good girl, she has good medical skills and better character, and she is willing to take care of her cousin's body, which is the best.
But what's going on with the Yan family?
How rampant it is? In the middle of the capital, he knows that those royal relatives and wealthy families don't have some unsightly things? But he had never heard of anyone who had the audacity to do so.
Even if you beat a subordinate of the family to death, if there is no legitimate reason, you will be criticized.
As for the servants who are in good places, if they want to deal with them, they must report them to the government with evidence of their mistakes.
The decision on the life and death of hundreds of people is Emperor Mingde himself, and I am afraid that he will have to weigh it.
How dare the Yan family be so lawless?
The more Xiao Yan thought about it, the more angry he became, and his eyes gradually turned red.
He has always been simple-minded, and always thinks about people for the good in everything, but at this moment, he can't wait to cut Yan Yuncai and Yan Yuxiu, the father and son, a few times to relieve his hatred.
Gao Yuan led Mei Gang out, Song Zhijie got up, walked up to Xiao Yan, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"The coming day is long, don't be impatient."
Back in her room, Mei Xue sat quietly for a while before slowly opening her eyes.
She slowly lifted the sleeve of her right hand, gently stroked her white and delicate arm, and a cold smile slowly spread from the corner of her mouth.
Since she came to this other world, she has only been her mother's daughter, and she just wants to be her mother's daughter.
So as soon as her mother died, she took action to remove the birthmark on her right forearm.
The Qiao family, except for the old lady who often held Qiao Anyi in her arms in her memory, the others, as long as they thought of being related to any of them, could make her feel extremely disgusting.
The next day, the group re-boarded the big ship of the palace.
Mama Zhang, Yurong and Ping'an were already waiting on the boat.
Mei Xue took Ping An from Yurong's hand and gently touched his little face.
In less than three months, he had grown a lot, no longer sleeping so much during the day, and often looking around with a pair of big eyes open.
Ping An can't be with Mei Xue all the time, but his favorite person is still Mei Xue, as if he knows that the person who saved him is Mei Xue.
As long as he arrives in Mei Xue's arms, even if the nurse wants to take him away, he will be reluctant.
Jiu'er came in from outside, touched her nose, peeked at Mei Xue's face and said:
"Girl, I heard that Lord Shen's injury had an accident."
Mei Xue didn't speak, asked Yurong to take Ping'an away, and then raised her eyes to look at Jiu'er.
Jiu'er hurriedly approached her and whispered:
"Just now, the slave maid saw Chen Yiling, as if to say that Lord Shen insisted on lying down and letting people carry him when he got on the boat, but the wound on his back was torn again.
Doctor Chen ordered him to come over to get the medicine, and he seemed to be very worried. ”
Mei Xue frowned, thought about it and got up and went out.
At the staircase on the second floor, Mei Xue saw Chen Yiling coming out of Li Jinzhi's room.
Seeing Mei Xue, Chen Yiling hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Miss Mei, the eldest prince has just rewarded a lot of precious medicinal materials, so let the lower officials heal Lord Shen well."
Looking at Chen Yiling's sad appearance, Mei Xue probably guessed what Shen Qingyang had done, she nodded, and said to Chen Yiling:
"I don't have anything to do, I just went with my seniors to see Lord Shen's injury."
Chen Yiling smiled and hurriedly led Mei Xue out.
A sergeant had already set up a sampan and warmly greeted Mei Xue and Chen Yiling to the boat behind.
Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie sat opposite each other in front of the window, watching Mei Xue get on the boat behind, Song Zhijie looked at Li Jinzhi and said with a smile:
"There are some things, if the son has a heart, he should make a decision as soon as possible."
Li Jinzhi shook his head, still looking out the window with a smile and said:
"Miss Mei is not a rash person, at least she will not make any decisions until the dust settles on the Mei family's affairs."
Song Zhijie paused for a moment, and then laughed:
"What Childe said is reasonable, but I am in a hurry."
Shen Qingyang lay on the bed and pretended to sleep, his upper body naked, and on his scarred back, there were several blood stains on the white veil that wrapped the wound.
Mei Xue sat down in front of the bed and looked at Shen Qingyang coldly.
Shen Qingyang opened his eyes and saw Mei Xue, his eyes lit up instantly. Seeing Chen Yiling and the sergeant enter the door with a tray and hot water, he instantly turned cold again, and twisted his head into the bed.
Mei Xue waved her hand and motioned for Chen Yiling and the waiting sergeant to go out, and she personally changed the wound medicine on Shen Qingyang's back.
The two of them were silent, and when Mei Xue got up and was about to leave, Shen Qingyang suddenly turned his head to look at her and asked:
"Have you decided to choose Li Jinzhi?"
Mei Xue closed her eyes, let out a long breath, turned to look at Shen Qingyang and asked:
"That's why you wantonly trampled on your own body and wasted my and Doctor Chen's hard work?"
Shen Qingyang has lost a lot of weight these days, his face is obviously haggard, and he gritted his teeth and stared at Mei Xue at this moment and said:
"I can do what Li Jinzhi can do for you, and I can even do it better than him.
He still has to struggle how to settle down in Beijing, and I have no worries, whether it is the Yan family or Tie Lanxiang's bastard, I can clean it up for you. ”
Mei Xue was about to laugh angrily, snorted and looked at Shen Qingyang and said:
"First of all, I never thought about who I wanted to spend my life with, it was too extravagant and too early for me.
Moreover, no matter who I choose in the future, it will not be because of what he can do for me, but only because I like this person.
Not for his ability and status, and not afraid of suffering in this world with him.
I never expect anyone else to do anything for me, and I don't want to rely on a man for my ends.
What I pursue is to be like-minded, to treat each other with courtesy, to help each other, and to respect each other when working together. ”
Mei Xue said, took two steps closer to the bed, looked directly into Shen Qingyang's eyes and said:
"What you just said made me feel very humiliated, and I hope you will not humiliate me like this again in the future.
In addition, I can honestly tell you that I have a good impression of Li Jinzhi, but it is still far from the choice you said, at least for now, I hope to be friends with him.
Because he knows how to be considerate of others, because he has the utmost kindness to anyone, and does not criticize any innocent person because of the harm he has suffered.
I will tell you clearly today that even if I don't choose Li Jinzhi in the future, I won't choose you, because we are not all the way, and there is too much difference in what we think and think.
Therefore, Lord Shen no longer has to waste his mind on me.
If you think that for women, there is only one thing to get and not to get, then I don't mind that we are strangers from today onwards. ”
After Mei Xue finished speaking, she glanced coldly at Shen Qingyang's red and white face, and turned straight away from the room.
