Chapter 128: The Storm is Coming
After Qu Yiyi took Meng Yue's hand and entered the room, she told him about the situation in Ziyuan just now.
After Meng Yue listened, he gently hugged her into his arms and said, "Thank you for your hard work, lady." ”
Qu Yiyi leaned her head against the position of his heart, listened to his powerful heartbeat, and closed her eyes happily.
The two embraced each other quietly, quiet and beautiful.
Wouldn't it be nice if the rest of the days could go on like this?
Qu Yiyi has no ambitions, her wish is very simple, that is, the family can live in peace and happiness simply and happily.
However, the more things she desires, the more they often backfire.
A storm is coming.
It seems that another period of time passed peacefully, and soon, it was Chengjue's Sunday.
The so-called grasping week, in fact, refers to a ceremony specially held for a child who has just turned one year old to predict his future and temperament, and it is also a way to celebrate the child's first birthday anniversary.
However, on this day, Jiang came uninvited with a lot of gifts.
In Qu Yiyi's eyes, she did come uninvited, but in Jiang's mouth, it was Qu Yiyi who forgot such an important agreement.
Jiang told the Meng family elders who were confused about her sudden arrival that it was Qu Yiyi's request to herself before she got married, and she had told herself that if she was fortunate enough to be favored by God and gave birth to a boy and half a girl for the Meng family, then she hoped that Jiang could participate in the child's Zhou ceremony.
Jiang said that this was her first grandson, and she naturally agreed with joy. So today, she came here at the original promise of her daughter.
Although Qu Yiyi knew that this was a lie made up by the Jiang family, she couldn't expose her, so she could only carry this pot herself.
The old lady reproached Qu Yiyi, and this matter can be regarded as overturned.
And because the eldest lady Li still didn't know what was going on between Qu Yiyi and Jiang, she didn't have any other thoughts about Jiang's sudden visit except for being a little surprised.
As the first child of the Meng family's sons and grandsons, the old lady naturally attaches great importance to this Zhou ceremony, not only all the main members of the Meng Mansion attended Cheng Jue's Zhou ceremony, but the old lady also spent a lot of money to invite a very famous mage in the capital to preside over Cheng Jue's Zhou ceremony.
This mage is said to have entered the palace and done a lot of rituals for today's saints, in short, he is a very bullish person.
Because Qu Yiyi didn't believe in this, she was absent-minded about the series of altar opening practices before the mage began the ceremony of grasping Zhou.
And after Jiang Shi also came, she didn't have the heart to see how the master did it.
Jiang actually chose this time uninvited, there must be some purpose.
But what will be the purpose?
Qu Yiyi cares very, very much.
Just as she was thinking about the Jiang family's affairs, Meng Yue beside her gently shook her hand.
Qu Yiyi hurriedly came back to her senses, then raised her eyes and met Meng Yue's eyes with a slight smile.
Meng Yue winked at her lightly, signaling her not to worry. It's all there.
Qu Yiyi gently pulled out a smile in response.
It's impossible for her not to worry at all, but now in this situation, she can only see walking.
After the mage's practice is over, the ceremony of catching the week officially begins.
On the large case specially set up for Cheng Jue, there are seals, scriptures of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, as well as pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, account books, jewelry, flowers, rouge, food, toys and other things.
After Jiang stepped forward and took a closer look at the things on the case, he immediately let out a "huh".
When the old lady heard this, she wondered, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong?"
Qu Yiyi was highly nervous by Jiang's "huh".
Jiang Shi confirmed it carefully, and then answered the old lady's question just now, and said, "It's not that there's anything wrong, it's just ......" As she spoke, she fell on Qu Yiyi, who was holding Cheng Jue.
Everyone's eyes also focused on Qu Yiyi with Jiang's action.
Qu Yiyi's heart jumped, and her heart said, it's really greasy!
She quickly settled down and prepared to take the call.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Qu Yiyi hugged Cheng Jue and asked with a calm face.
She stared at herself like this, but didn't speak, making the atmosphere of the scene a little delicate.
And Meng Yue beside her, his attention was secretly focused on another person.
That person is his half-brother, Meng Zheng.
He only then noticed a flash of a smile in his eyes, although he quickly covered it up, but because he had been paying attention to his younger brother's every move from the beginning, Meng Zheng had only keenly caught the flash of laughter in his eyes when Jiang Shi let out a "huh".
Meng Yue frowned almost inaudibly, thinking that this younger brother must have hooked up with the Jiang family again.
However, it is also his ability to escape his surveillance and get in touch with the Jiang family.
Thankfully, he was prepared.
So he turned his head slightly and handed Yuping a look.
After Yuping received Meng Yue's hint, she took advantage of everyone's attention to Qu Yiyi and Jiang, so she saw the opportunity and quietly retreated.
Then he jumped out of the Meng Mansion with light skills, and soon, he disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, the undercurrent in the Meng Mansion is still fermenting.
"Mother-in-law, tell me what's the matter. At this time, Meng Changhe also spoke. Because he saw that Jiang's eyes were becoming more and more strange when he looked at his daughter-in-law, he also had a strong sense of curiosity in his heart.
Jiang Shi first responded politely to Meng Changhe, and then turned his head and asked Qu Yiyi, "Yiyi, didn't you tell Wei Niang that on the day the child catches the week, you will definitely prepare something for him?"
"Prepare something?" the old lady felt even more strange in her heart. The things they have prepared for Cheng Jue are already enough and complete, how can there be anything missing?
And even if something is really missing, it's just accidentally forgotten, so what's the matter?
When Li heard this, he also began to notice that something was wrong. But she didn't know what was going on, so she was still in the clouds.
Because Zhou has nothing to do with herself, she doesn't bother to pay attention to it. Anyway, that woman is her daughter, no matter how yin and yang her expression and tone are now, the result will not be unfavorable to her daughter.
And the fourth lady Chen, who usually only shows up on important occasions, still carries out her indifference, as if everything that happens here has nothing to do with her.
As for Qu Yiyi, who was named by the Jiang family, she didn't answer immediately because she knew that it was a lie made up casually by the Jiang family.
When unsure of what her purpose is, the best option is to stand still.
Meng Yue also thought of going with her. He looked at Jiang in silence, waiting for her to show her fox tail.
Jiang didn't let them wait too long, and soon, she told her "purpose".
I saw Jiang Shi ask again, "Yiyi, you really don't remember? You can't forget such an important thing, right?"
