Chapter 176: Heyday

Thinking that Meng might have done something in the death of Xiaofu's biological mother, Mrs. Meng felt numb. She thought that no matter how broad Meng Xiaofu was, she would not be indifferent to the death of her biological mother. If she really had a grudge, she would not know how to do anything with her means. Revenge in secret can make people die without a place to die.

What should I do? Thinking of all the possibilities, Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Ye with her eyes and said, "Master, now you must tell me the truth. Is the death of Xiaofu's biological mother related to you?"

"What are you saying? Do I seem to be such an inhumane person?" Meng also became angry, and stood up with both eyes and stared at Mrs. Meng.

Madam Meng was fearless and greeted her and stared straight back.

The couple stared at each other for a long time, but Meng Yesian, who had been used to giving in during this period, lowered his head and sighed: "Yes, I didn't care much about Xiaofu and his daughter before, but because I didn't care, I didn't want to harm her life. A lowly concubine from a singer, really doesn't like it, and I don't even have to find a name to sell at any time. No one said anything. Why should I risk being discovered and cause trouble and make a fool of myself to do such an assassination that would damage my destiny? I dare to swear to God, if I did this... No, if I knew it beforehand, I would indulge it, but I would let it go to the oil pan after death and turn it into a pig or dog in the next life."

Seeing that Meng had made such a heavy oath, he thought about what he said, and Mrs. Meng had no choice but to believe it at this time. After pondering for a moment, she came up with an idea and asked the butler for such instructions.

The housekeeper took the order and left. Mrs. Meng told Meng that since she had not done anything bad, she would not have to worry. She was so panicked that she would make people see her, and she would become troublesome even if she had nothing to do.

After Madam Meng's comfort, Meng also thought it was not a big deal, so he didn't mention it.

...

In the Dingwang Mansion.

Su Yiqing heard the news that Madam Qing was asking around the bush. She had nothing to say for a moment. She naturally knew what kind of person Meng was. It was not surprising that she could drive her son's family who came to join her door out on the first day of the Lunar New Year. What was strange was why he was sneaky and afraid that others would know.

However, Madam Qing spoke for the Meng couple: "The master and his wife were not intentionally hiding it, but they were afraid that the eldest son would come to the door to fight for the autumn wind. They disturbed the princess. The eldest son's family has been in the countryside for so many years. The people in many places in the countryside have become vulgar after living for a few years. How could they still look like a noble son in the past? Zhang, the gatekeeper, said that when their family first came to the door, she thought that there was a beggar from where the family came to beg for begging. The group of people were really the same as beggars. When they saw food, they were like evil dogs and flesh bones, and their eyes turned green..."

Madam Qing said. She secretly saw Su Yiqing's face and seemed to be a little unhappy. She suddenly realized that the princess had lived in the countryside for so many years. She must have been unhappy in belittling the country people like this. She quickly turned the topic: "It's not glorious to have such an incompetent son after all. I heard that the eldest son was gambled and used up all the money and land that the master had made for him to settle his family. The family could almost be said to be begging to come to Yancheng. No matter who has such a relative, he would not promote it everywhere. Not to mention his own son."

After Madam Qing finished speaking, Su Yiqing was silent for a moment and asked again: "Since that's the case, why would the person suddenly disappear?"

Madam Qing's eyes rolled slightly and said, "Maybe I got some money from the master. Wherever I went, I went to gambling money. How could this gambling ghost be able to withstand the money? Of course, I have to bet. I pity his family, all the young and old... Fortunately, my wife took care of her, otherwise she would have been hungry on the streets."

Su Yiqing did not believe in Madam Qing's words. If it were so simple, Madam Meng would not hide it and told her openly, but this matter itself had nothing to do with her. She was not the real daughter of the Meng family and had no blood relationship with Meng Shen, let alone any brother-sister relationship. She didn't care about the Meng family's relationship with Meng Shen, or the Meng Shen's relationship with Meng's family.

According to her, there were only two reasons for Mrs. Meng to hide her. One might be that Meng Shen had a good relationship with the real Meng Xiaofu at the time, and she was afraid that Meng Shen would give her family eye drops in front of her. The other was that Meng Shen knew about the shameful scandal of the Meng family and was afraid that Meng Shen would talk nonsense everywhere.

Judging from the methods of doing things, if it is the latter, it is probably related to the affairs of his ex-Mr. If it weren't for the fact that there were any taboos, it was his own son after all, and it was unlikely that he would send his son to the countryside to fend for himself before he had another wife and had children.

These are all small things. The ex-Mrs. Meng is not a good-looking lamp. Meng really wants to do something that is inhumane. If Meng Shen wants to break it out, she cannot stop it, nor does she want to stop it. Although this may have some impact on her, she is a married daughter after all, and the impact is limited. Even Yufeng will not mind others' statements. The most important thing she is to give birth to a child safely.

After thinking it through, Su Yiqing ignored this and asked Madam Qing: "I heard that two more girls in Linglongyuan are leaving?"

Madam Qing said, "Yes, according to Xue Niang, they all said that they miss their relatives and want to reunite their flesh and blood, so they ask the princess for mercy and permission."

During this period, the beauties who thought that the princess had a body and had an opportunity to take advantage of the princess. After Ning Ya'er was expelled from the prince's mansion, they extinguished the heart of seducing the prince. They felt that there was no future in Linglongyuan. It would be better to take advantage of being young and beautiful, find another way out as soon as possible, and have a greater chance of choosing early, and they can choose slowly. There will be fewer opportunities two years later. These beauties are not stupid. Looking at the prince's thoughts about the princess, even if they can take advantage of the princess’ pregnancy, what if they can be favored for a while? The princess is not tolerant. After giving birth to a legitimate son, they will not settle the scores and get cramps.

Those who can be sent to the princess by no name and no distribution have no family to rely on, so naturally they can only plan for themselves. They can't be foolish. If they are foolish, some people will remind them and break them up and tell them the truth. Now they can get a generous reward. The prince's mansion still agrees. If there are any difficulties in the future, they will still help them so that they will not be bullied if they leave the house.

Now that we can walk away, we can fully understand each other's affection. If we really have to procrastinate, the prince will look down on him. The princess is too lazy to care about him, so he can only stay in the mansion and be raised like some rice, grain, pigs and dogs.

Therefore, these days, some beauties have come to ask for help and want to go out.

Madam Qing meant that she thought the princess should delay at this time, because although these beauties also had a beautiful face as beautiful as a flower, they were long ago disliked by the prince. She could still make a storefront and let them go all out at once. Maybe new ones will be sent in in the backyard. Isn’t that man looking for freshness? Keeping the old ones is better than welcoming the new ones.

Su Yiqing probably also understood Madam Qing's idea, but she did not agree. With Lian Yufeng's power, she really wanted to find it. The people in the mansion looked down on him, and the people outside were not seen more and could not be guarded against. The people in Linglongyuan were all happy to leave. Why should they drag their families for their own personal gain? Then she said: "I'll order Xue Niang, all of them are correct. Compared with the previous examples, I will give them rewards. If I want to return home, I will order the guards in the mansion to send them a trip. Those who are in Yancheng will be allowed to pass the message to their families, and they will not be bullied, abused, and reselled or seized their property."

"Yes, the princess." Madam Qing did not dare to refute the princess' words. She also knew that the princess had always had ideas and did not allow the servants to talk too much after making up their minds.

After giving the order, Su Yiqing looked at Madam Qing still standing still, as if she had something to say, so she asked, "Is there anything else?"

Madam Qing hesitated for a while and said, "It's not a big deal, but the old slave thinks...I think so many people in Linglongyuan have left recently, so it must be Xue Niang who is instigating her behind her back."

"So what?" Su Yiqing disagreed. Xue Niang was a little soft-hearted. She really wanted to feel sorry for those women. It was reasonable to remind them more, and she was happy.

Madam Qing said, "It was right, but I think Xue Niang has her own plans."

"Everyone should plan for himself. This is human nature. Isn't it just for his future if you collect a few kilograms of fruit and a few feet of silk on weekdays?" Su Yiqing smiled slightly.

"Princess, forgive me." Madam Qing knelt down suddenly.

Su Yiqing said lightly: "Mum, don't be like this. I don't mean to blame you. I just hope that Maum should not be too embarrassed by the people below. You are an old lady, and an old man from the Mongolian family. The little maid below occasionally respects something worthless. Sometimes it seems inhumane if you don't accept it."

The reason why she mentioned it was just to make sure that Madam Qing understood that she knew these things, but Wushuoya was too lazy to deal with them. I hope Madam Qing would not be too greedy, so as not to miss the matter.

Madam Qing then became trembling. Thinking about not having any chance to make contributions recently, she would not do one or two things that satisfy the princess at this time, and she might be squeezed into the corner to support herself. The princess valued her on her face, but she never let herself interfere too much in the affairs of the princess. She only trained a few little maids and returned to the Mongolian Mansion to deliver things to her.

But this is not as good as buying and managing warehouses in the royal palace. She has to do one or two more things to ask for some good jobs. Since she has already spoken, she can't think about it anymore and said directly: "Recently, Yuemian often comes to Xue Niang to encourage Xue Niang to leave the mansion, saying that she hopes Xue Niang will get married."

"Is there such a thing?" Su Yiqing smiled and said, "It's hard to spend Yuemian with such thoughts for her aunt. Xue Niang is only in her early thirties. It would be a pity to have a lifetime of life. It's a good thing to be able to get married. As the master of the royal palace, I don't want the maids to turn from maids to maids if they don't marry for the rest of their lives."

"But Yuemian means that she and her husband want to leave the palace and live alone." Madam Qing said, lowering her head, "I heard Yuemian mean that she is afraid... I am afraid, and the old slave dare not say it."

"I'm afraid that the court situation will be unstable recently, and the royal family will be implicated." Su Yiqing added the next sentence lightly.

Madam Qing looked at Su Yiqing in surprise and seemed to ask again, how did the princess know.

Su Yiqing smiled again: "Although I am pregnant with Liujia and have difficulty moving, it doesn't mean I don't know anything. It's better to be rich and noble in danger. Some people don't want to take risks, they just want a safe life. This is everyone's choice, not a process. For Yuemian, you should pretend that you don't know. Don't blame me."

"Yes, the princess." Madam Qing didn't dare to say more, so she took her leave.

...

At this time, Yuemian came to persuade Xue Niang again as Madam Qing said.

Xue Niang was not as moved as she did in the previous few times, and only looked at Yuemian and said, "Yuemian, you always say that you have been asking me to leave the house. Is there any other reason besides thinking about me?"

Yuemian's expression remained unchanged and said with a smile: "Look at what my aunt said, what else can I do?"

Xue Niang's eyes were sharp and her tone was harsh than usual, "I heard that your servant refused the official position provided by the prince, saying that she wanted to take the imperial examination with her own efforts."

"Young Master is right to think this way!" Yue Mian said seriously, "A real man, naturally, is the right way to take the imperial examination and become an official by relying on his real skills, so as not to be verbalized. No matter how big the official position is, it is not glorious."

"You don't have any other thoughts?" Xue Niang kept staring at Yuemian's eyes.

After all, Yuemian was more than ten years younger than Xue Niang. She couldn't hold back for a while and avoided it. She said, "My husband sometimes doesn't know what I think, as a lady, don't interfere too much."

"Well." Xue Niang sighed, "I can see these days that your family is very good, but she is a little timid. She hears some rumors outside, and is afraid, so you don't need to persuade me. You are filial, and I am grateful to you. I am a man from the royal palace in my life, and a ghost from the royal palace in my life. This palace has great kindness to me, and I will not leave no matter what."

"Aunt." Yuemian's eyes were a little red, and there was a hint of crying in her voice, "You have brought me up since you were a child. I really hope to be filial to you."

Xue Niang sighed and said, "I brought you up because I have no children and I should take care of you. I don't want anything. I have this kind of heart. My aunt is grateful for it. But my aunt is old and has already come through the wind and waves. I don't want any more changes. I will be like this for the rest of my life. You are young and have no plans. My aunt only advises you one thing, and life is not easy. You must think clearly that the princess treats you well and it will be difficult to meet such a good master again. After you go out, you have to hold on to any storm. Be careful."

Yuemian lowered her head a little sadly. She didn't know that the princess treated her or the maids in the house were good, but her husband... What her husband said was also reasonable. My husband's father and uncle all gave his life to the old prince. Now he is the only one left in this room. It is normal that he doesn't want to cut off the incense of the Liu family.
