Chapter 101: Sleepless Nights

The moment Meng Yue saw the fire, he knew that things were going in the worst direction.

But fortunately, those people were still some distance away from the courtyard, and if he tried his best, he might be able to leave with Ying Ying first, if Ying Ying was in the house......

So as soon as his figure moved, Meng Yue jumped down from the tree, and then flashed sideways to the window on the west side of the house, intending to enter through the window.

"Ahh

Too late!

Ying Ying is really inside!

And Yingying has woken up!

Meng Yue's eyes flickered slightly in the night. But soon, he forced himself to calm down.

Now was not the time to give up, so he withdrew his hand, then leaned to one side, leaning against the wall, and just hid by the window to see what happened, and then think of a countermeasure.

"That was the second lady's voice just now!

Ying Ying's scream undoubtedly quickened the pace of the few people nearby who had come to look for her. After a while, a few housekeepers and maids hurriedly rushed in with lanterns.

But when those people broke through the door with lanterns, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, and even forgot to turn their backs in shock.

Because through the light of the lantern, they really saw the second young lady, Meng Yingying, sitting on the floor with a frightened expression. And beside her, there was a middle-aged man lying down, also undressed, but his person was motionless, and he didn't know whether he was faint or dead.

Because they also saw broken teapots on the floor, and a pool of blood. So they concluded that it must have been the second lady who knocked the teapot on the wooden table on his head in a hurry when she resisted this man's aggression. No, the scars and blood stains on the man's forehead are the best proof of this.

The second lady of the Meng family's daughter and noble body was actually defiled by a vulgar subordinate, and she was also broken, such a big event, anyone who saw it would be shocked on the spot.

"Why don't you turn your backs quickly!" At this time, the maid who came with her finally woke up from her shock, and she hurriedly reminded a few of the servants who came with her to turn around, and then she and the other two maids who came with her immediately looked everywhere for something to cover their bodies.

Because the skirt that the second lady originally wore on her body had long been torn to pieces by the man, and she couldn't wear it anymore at all.

Fortunately, they found a quilt in the man's room, and immediately brought it over to wrap Meng Yingying's naked body.

Meng Yingying was already so frightened that she couldn't figure it out. She only kept crying, and she couldn't even speak.

"It's okay, a few of you hurry over and tie up this person, and then take it to the old lady and the second lady to send it down!" After the maids wrapped Meng Yingying tightly, they asked the family members to tie up the man who was still lying motionless on the ground, and then took it to Ziyuan to wait for the old lady's fate.

It was close to eight o'clock in the evening, and if it was usual, the old lady was ready to rest. But today Meng Yingying suddenly disappeared, and she was still missing in the Meng Mansion, so the old lady was also so worried that she couldn't sleep, and she was still waiting for news from Ziyuan.

Not to mention the second lady Zhou, if she can't find Yingying tonight, then she definitely won't have to sleep tonight.

However, although the person has been found now, this night is still a sleepless night for Zhou and many people.

When the maids helped the frightened Meng Yingying to prepare to leave the courtyard, Meng Yue, who had been hiding behind the window just now and watching everything that happened inside, gradually knew in his heart.

So he rushed ahead of the others, performed light skills and left here, and then returned to Mingyue Xuan as fast as he could.

He had to hurry back and prepare for Yiyi, because soon, a storm was coming.

Such an ugly thing happened in Mengfu, and the old lady was naturally furious.

"Come on, go outside and bring some cold water in and splash him on me!" The old lady stared at Uncle Mu, who was still lying unconscious on the ground and was tied up by five flowers, and said coldly.

Zhou had already heard the news and rushed to it. When she saw with her own eyes the appearance of the heroine after being abused, she was so distressed that she couldn't wait to rush over immediately and pick up the sharpest knife to cut the dog thing that defiled her daughter!

Even if he dies ten thousand times, he can't solve the hatred in her heart!

But the old lady said that she must wait for this person to wake up, so that she can interrogate him before sending him down.

No matter how ruthless and angry she is, she can only watch from the sidelines. But she believes that the old lady will definitely not let this dog thing go!

It's just that she has pity on her precious daughter!

"Old lady, what happened?" At this time, the eldest lady Li also rushed over when she heard the news.

But as soon as Zhou saw Li's arrival, his eyes were so fierce that he seemed to be able to breathe fire.

If it weren't for the stupid dog of his stupid son who got lost, Ying Ying would not have suffered such a terrible thing because she helped find this stupid dog!

If it weren't for the stupid dog's death, she'd have skinned and boneed it and thrown it into the wolves to feed it!

Zhou immediately transferred some of his resentment to Li.

When Li had just heard the news that Uncle Mu had defiled Yingying, she was so frightened that she rushed over immediately. When she came, she also sent the maids around her to Mingyuexuan to inform Qu Yiyi.

As long as Qu Yiyi is notified, then it is equivalent to telling his son about it.

And she rushed over to see Uncle Mu's situation first.

No matter what she said, she wouldn't believe that Uncle Mu would do such a thing. It must be the person who poisoned his son back then who did it behind his back!

Li clenched his fists tightly, but on the surface he maintained an unaware bewilderment.

"Hmph, what's the matter? won't you read it yourself?" Zhou was angry, and he didn't care about the presence of the old lady, so he stabbed Li in an extremely unkind tone.

The old lady frowned slightly, but after all, she still didn't say anything about Zhou's attitude towards the offense just now. In the end, Yingying also had an accident because she helped find Maomao.

Alas......

The old lady felt uncomfortable when she thought of her granddaughter's embarrassed and unbearable appearance.

At this time, the guy who went outside to carry ice water had already brought in a large basin of ice water.

"Old lady, bring the ice water!"

"Splash me!" ordered the old lady.

"Yes!" Then the two little guys struggled to carry a large basin of ice water, and poured it on the top of Uncle Mu's head.

Li couldn't bear it, quietly turned his head sideways, and closed his eyes.

Uncle Mu is her son's life-saving benefactor, but she can only watch him being slandered and suffering such a crime, but there is nothing she can do.

I don't know if Yue'er and Yiyi have a way to save Uncle Mu!

Li clenched his fists and closed his eyes, extremely anxious.

Sure enough, after a plate of ice was splashed down, Uncle Mu, who was still unconscious just now, slowly woke up.

Before he could open his eyes, he was already shivering with the biting cold, and then a heart-eating pain spread from the tip of his heart to his limbs.

Uncle Mu was amazed in his heart. This feeling is very much like the long-lost poison of the Gu Heart!

People who have been poisoned by this kind of poison will trigger heart-piercing pain every time they have emotional fluctuations! And this pain will make people unable to speak.

On the other side at this time, Litang Garden.

"Mother, I heard that Yingying has been found, she seems to have been ...... Someone is that, should we go over and see Yingying?" Meng Zhirou was sad and anxious, she felt that if she didn't go to see Yingying's situation in person tonight, she would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

"If something like this happens, it's going to be a mess over there, so let's not make a mess of it. Han rejected his daughter's proposal.

"But...... But I'm really worried about Yingying, the maid who came to report just now also said that Yingying was stunned, she could only cry and not speak, which was really worrying. Meng Zhirou thought that if her mother didn't want to go, she planned to go alone.

Han naturally knew her daughter's thoughts, although she also wanted to see with her own eyes the distressed expressions of those people when they lost the most useful chess piece, but just in case, she still didn't show up.

"Rou'er, don't go over, this matter is about the innocence of your daughter's family, so many people know that it is not good after all, and you are still the eldest lady of the Meng family, you go over now, I am worried that your second mother will think too much, thinking that you are gloating. ”

Meng Zhirou was surprised, "Mother, how can you have such an idea, how can Erniang think of me like this? I just care about Yingying......

"Naturally, you won't think much about it, but now that the situation is special, it's better not to appear in front of Yingying or your second mother, so as not to stimulate them. Han straightforwardly dispelled Meng Zhirou's desire to go over and finish reading Meng Yingying.

Meng Zhirou had never seen her mother's attitude so tough, and she thought that this matter might really be more serious than she imagined, so her mother would be like this.

And my mother must have done it for her own good. So she didn't insist any longer, and went back to her room full of worry and sadness.

After watching his daughter go back to her room, Han came to the window alone and pushed it open. She leaned against the window and looked up at the cold moonlight outside the window, and a wordless pleasure rose in her heart.

She just likes to hide in the far corner, watching the ants who are playing with her in the applause, struggling in pain, but still keeping a smile on their faces.

This kind of pain is actually less than one-ten-thousandth of what she suffered when she was a child.

Han hooked the corners of his lips and let out a cold smile.

"How did you use to lure Mao Mao and Ying Ying to your house?" the old lady tried her best to contain her anger, looked at Uncle Mu who was curled up on the ground with a painful expression, and asked sharply.

In fact, if this person was not brought back by her grandson herself, she might not even bother to interrogate him, and directly let people drag him out and divide his body.

Because Uncle Mu was poisoned by Gu Heart, he was so painful that he couldn't speak at all.

Zhou saw that Uncle Mu's question to the old lady had not heard it, and his heart was even more angry.

"Old lady, we should show him some more color, otherwise he won't be honest!" Zhou Shi stared at Uncle Mu on the ground viciously, and proposed to the old lady.

When Li heard this, his heart became even more anxious.

She hurriedly took a small step forward and said to the old lady, "Old lady, those who are beaten into tricks are often not credible. ”

"Sister, do you still need us to bend into tricks for those things he has done!" Zhou tried his best to suppress his anger and snorted coldly, "And when your son knows that his beloved Mao Mao will die in his residence tomorrow, I think, your son will only be more ruthless than us at that time!"

The implication is that Meng Yue is a fool, and the fool initiates ruthlessness, which is not comparable to normal people like them.

Although she didn't say it clearly, the irony behind her words was clear to both Li and the old lady.

Although the old lady was pitiful and sympathetic to the Zhou family, she dared to mock Meng Yue for being a fool, and she was very unhappy in her heart.

"One thing is one thing, and you don't have to speculate. The old lady said with a calm face.

"But the old lady, he did such a shameless thing to Yingying, and it would be cheaper for him to die a hundred times, so why should he be punished now?" Zhou is not as angry as before, his daughter's innocence has been destroyed, it is impossible for her, who is a mother, not to be sad, and now that the perpetrator is in front of her, she is even more unlikely to let him go!

The old lady also knew that if Zhou's tone was not vented tonight, she would not stop. So she looked at Uncle Mu, who was still curled up on the ground in pain, and said again, "If you don't speak again, then you will be tortured until you are willing to speak!"

"Old lady, sister, can you let me try?" At this time, Li suddenly proposed.

"You?" The old lady obviously didn't expect Li to have such an idea, and said in her heart that even if she wanted to keep Yue'er's people, it would depend on the nature and seriousness of the matter.

Now he actually dares to do such a thing, and it will be spread tomorrow, not only will he lose the face of their Meng Mansion, but also make Ying Ying never be able to raise her head to be a man in the future.

Therefore, in this matter, the old lady was actually on Zhou's side in her heart, so she didn't blame her for Zhou's bad tone when she spoke to Li three times and twice just now.

Li nodded and said, "Yes, please let me try." ”

In this case, apart from her personally "persuading" him to tell the truth, she really couldn't think of any other way to delay time.

"Why does my sister protect this person so much?" asked Zhou Shi with a frown.

In fact, Zhou didn't pay much attention to the relationship between Uncle Mu and Meng Yue, and she even forgot that Uncle Mu was brought back to the house before Meng Yue became stupid.

In addition, Uncle Mu is usually low-key, and his sense of presence is almost zero. A subordinate like him who has no sense of existence, how could the Zhou family have an impression of him?

Up and down the Meng Mansion, except for the old lady, the eldest lady, and one or two people who still care about Meng Yue, I'm afraid not many people still remember this incident so many years ago.

"It's not that I want to protect this person, but his expression looks like he's in pain, as if he's been drugged. Although Li has no evidence, because the person who killed her son many years ago was the poison used, so she suddenly thought of this possibility.

"Drugged?" Li's words reminded the old lady.

Then she squinted her eyes and took a closer look at Uncle Mu who was tied to the ground, only to see that his eyes were closed in pain, his face was purple, and his whole body was trembling. But at first, she just thought that he was shivering because of the ice water.

But now that I look closely, it doesn't seem to be shivering because of the cold. That's right, it's not a cold winter wax moon now, no matter how cold the water is, when the cold air passes, it won't be too cold.

Therefore, the old lady also began to believe a little bit in what Li had just said.

Seeing that the old lady's expression was relaxed, Li immediately struck while the iron was hot, continued to point out the doubts in her heart, and said, "Yes, he is likely to have been drugged." Just imagine, this person is just the lowest person in the house, how can he have a way to coax Mao Mao to his house without knowing it, and then happen to let Ying Ying find him?"

"He may not have that ability, but who can guarantee that it was not Mao Mao who ran to him by himself, and then Ying Ying went to him in order to find Mao Mao, he saw that he was interested, and then he ...... Just ......" Speaking of this, Zhou really couldn't say any more, and then picked up his sleeves and hid his face and cried.

"We are all very sad that Ying Ying has suffered such an unwarranted disaster, but because of this, we must find out the murderer behind the scenes, and we can't let the people who hurt Ying Ying go unpunished!" Li continued under pressure.

"My sister is simply more and more bizarre! This matter is clearly placed here, he is the one who defiled Yingying and brought shame to Mengfu, my sister doesn't understand why my sister always has to speak for the real murderer, what is my sister's intention?" Zhou said excitedly while hiding his face and crying.

"My sister misunderstood, I just ......" Li saw Zhou's excited appearance, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The old lady saw that the two of them were arguing with each other, and the look on her face became more and more ugly.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing! No matter what the reason, but it is a fact that this person has defiled Yingying, and I will definitely not spare him!" the old lady said in a cold voice.

With the old lady's words, the concubine was relieved. Zhou listened to the old lady's promise, and the anger in his heart was a little out.

But it was only a little bit, and she was still angry if she didn't see this person suffering and sinning.

So Zhou continued, "And even if he is really drugged, he should defend himself, and now it's not that he won't be given this opportunity, it's that he doesn't want to say it." He doesn't want to say that there must be an ulterior secret!"

The old lady nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense. The opportunity has been given to him, and it is he himself who does not cherish it. ”

The words of the old lady and the Zhou family instantly put the Li family in a predicament.

Does she really have to watch her son's life-saver lose his life in vain? and carry such a stigma......

"Come on, torture!" Li was stunned, and then heard the old lady's order, ready to torture Uncle Mu.

"Yes!" Immediately, someone came out with a torture instrument.

It was an ancient torture instrument used to pinch fingers. As the saying goes, almost no one can escape this punishment.

"Wait!"

Just as the two little servants were holding Uncle Mu and were about to clamp the torture instrument to Uncle Mu's hands, at the last moment, a clear sound of cheering suddenly came from the door.

Everyone in the hall was taken aback, and their eyes all looked in unison at the source of the sound.

The person who came was Qu Yiyi, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Meng family. I saw her appear at the entrance of the hall alone with Cheng Jue in her arms, with an awe-inspiring look on her face.

"Yiyi?" When the old lady saw that it was Qu Yiyi, and saw that she was still holding her obedient great-grandson Chengjue in her hand, she immediately asked with a calm face, "It's all this hour, why are you still here?

In the tone, it is difficult to hide the taste of blame.

Zhou was also deeply surprised by Qu Yiyi's sudden arrival.

Maybe in the hall, only the Li family was happy about Qu Yiyi's arrival.

She must have thought of a way to save Uncle Mu!

So Li put his hope on Qu Yiyi's body.

Qu Yiyi walked in slowly under the puzzled eyes of everyone.

That's right, she had already discussed with Meng Yue how to solve this matter.

That is, cut the mess with a quick knife!

However, before the cut, the main characters still have to appear on the stage.

Now, the biggest protagonist hasn't appeared yet, and she's still hiding in her own place waiting to watch their show.

So Qu Yiyi hugged Cheng Jue, came straight to the old lady, and then knelt down in front of the old lady with a plop.

When everyone saw this, they were all taken aback.

The old lady frowned and asked, "Yiyi, what's wrong with you?"

"You made such a big salute to the old lady, and you still hugged Jue'er, could it be that you did something to be sorry for the Meng family?" Zhou has always looked at Qu Yiyi unpleasantly, and now that she has the opportunity to make her ridicule her, she doesn't take the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar to embarrass her?

Qu Yiyi ignored Zhou's verbal provocation, just hugged his son and lowered his head, and said respectfully to the old lady, "Grandma, there is one thing, Yiyi really wants to confess to grandma. ”

When Li Shi heard this, he was shocked, and he couldn't help but think, the confession in Yiyi's mouth could it be...... Do you want to tell the secret of Yue'er's pretending to be stupid here?

She looked nervously at Qu Yiyi, who was kneeling on the ground, wondering if she was really going to tell the matter at this bad time.

"What the hell is it that makes you come to confess at this time?" The old lady was also a little uneasy, too many things had happened today, and it was really difficult for people to live in peace.

Qu Yiyi still didn't look up, and said, "But before Yiyi confesses, Yiyi still has one more thing to ask for." ”

"Okay, you can say it. The old lady agreed without thinking about it.

"What Yiyi wants to say is related to Sanniang, but because Yiyi is a junior, and now that the night is late, Yiyi is embarrassed to disturb Sanniang's rest, so she also asked grandma to send someone to Litang Garden now to invite Sanniang over. ”

As soon as Qu Yiyi's words came out, they shocked everyone present.

Especially Lee's.
