Chapter 164: Underestimating the Enemy

Meng Ciyu came over and said with a smile, "Dad, I heard that Mr. Wang and Mr. Sun had a quarrel in the Jinluan Palace today..."

The father and son walked towards the front yard while talking.

Duke Cheng Guo had to sigh to himself. Not to mention himself, anyone would take Fu's mother and son seriously, not only because Fu was virtuous and the second son was talented, but also because they were considerate.

Meng Yue's eyes were red, and she cried when she saw them.

She said to Fu Shi, "Mom, I want to go to Fushengju to see my siblings."

She felt that she was incompetent, but she made such a big mistake in helping her mother manage the house, and her mother was reprimanded by her grandmother. She also felt sorry for her brother, who was arranged by the servants to be so miserable just after they got married.

Fu asked, "Are you trying to persuade Jiang?"

Meng Yue nodded, "Yeah."

Mrs. Fu then urged, "Speak carefully and explain to your mother. She is thinking about her and wants to suppress the situation as soon as possible. It would be best if Ms. Jiang listens to me. If you don't, you will do your best."

Meng Yue sniffed, nodded and said, "Yes, I know."

She asked the girl to take Huang Xin back to the yard.

Huang Xin didn't want to reply, "Mom, I want to see Huahua and Jiujiu."

Meng Yue shook her head and said, "No, mother and your aunt have something to talk about, so go back."

Jiang Yixi leaned on the bedside and pretended to be sick.

She probably guessed what Meng Yue was going to say and didn't want to hear it at all. She had already seen that it was basically impossible to correct Meng Yue unless Fu's evil was completely exposed to the world.

But everyone is here, and they can’t be ignored.

Meng Yue came to the bedside, and Shuixiang brought a chair.

"Auntie, please sit down."

Meng Yue sat down and said, "You all go down, my siblings and I have something to say."

The girls all retreated and closed the door.

Jiang Yixi pretended to be stupid and asked, "What's the matter, eldest sister?"

Meng Yue suppressed her blush, but said, "Brothers and sisters, don't be angry with me. Cimo is my brother, and I sincerely hope you are well."

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "I often hear the uncle say that the eldest sister is his only sister, and he has always cared about you. As a family, if there is something wrong, the eldest sister should just say it."

Meng Yue sighed and said, "Father and mother are very good. We shouldn't let them worry and be scolded by our elders."

Even though Jiang Yixi was mentally prepared, these words still made her so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Jiang Yixi's face darkened and she asked in confusion, "We have made the master and his wife worry. Is it because the elders scolded them or is it us?"

Meng Yuedao said, "Cimo went to Fu'an Hall to file a complaint in the afternoon, saying that he stayed in Fushengju all day to treat his eyes and did not do anything like that. It was strange that Mrs. Wei only caught the people who spread the rumors and did not investigate whether the rumors were true.

, the purpose is to confirm the rumors and force the stepson and daughter-in-law to death...

"Brother and sister, my wife is not to blame for this. My wife taught me many things. It was my inability and failure to do a good job that allowed the evil slaves to take advantage of the loophole. I promise that I will continue the investigation tomorrow to clear the grievances of my brother and sister."

Jiang Yixi glanced at Meng Yue. By tomorrow, one of Aunt Guo and Mrs. Ma would definitely die. Mrs. Guo was the most direct witness and source, and Mrs. Fu certainly wanted her to die. After she died, Meng Cimo and Jiang Yixi could not argue.

As for Mrs. Ma's death, it can only be said that she spread rumors and "committed suicide out of fear of crime."

Jiang Yixi said, "The uncle is right, we really died unjustly. If that reputation is true, how can I have the honor to survive in the world. Sister, think about it carefully, in this world, the person closest to the elder sister is the uncle, and he is full of heart and eyes.

It’s all for the best of my eldest sister…”

Meng Yue said, "I know that we are brothers and sisters who are not separated from each other, and I also hope that Ci Mo will be good. However, in this world, it is not only about blood, but also about people's hearts. My mother is really good, for our sister

My brother was late in giving birth to a child for several years, and we suffered a lot of grievances because of it..."

Jiang Yixi didn't want to listen anymore. She would get really angry if she continued to listen. She abruptly put the topic aside and said, "Sister, the flowers on your neckline are very beautiful and the color is good."

Meng Yue suppressed her blush and wanted to continue talking, but Jiang Yixi said to Shuixiang again, "Bring me the doll bag I made for Xiner."

Shuixiang took out a little bunny doll from the cabinet. It was white, with long ears and two eyes sewn on with red agate. When she held it in her hand, she saw that it was a small bag with a belt that could hold a handkerchief inside.

Candies and other small things are very novel and beautiful.

Jiang Yixi also told her how to carry the small bag cross-body, which is convenient and looks good.

Meng Yue was attracted by Xiaobao, "Is this designed by Princess Zhenbao?"

She also heard that Li Zhenbao designs things that are different.

Jiang Yixi nodded and said, "Yes."

The two talked about clothes and jewelry for a while. Meng Yue could already tell that Jiang Yixi didn't want her to speak well of Fu, so she had to stand up and leave.

After she left, Linxiang came over and reported in a low voice, "Brother Lianshan asked someone to come in and say that he had quietly transferred Aunt Guo to Zhuangzi outside the city. Her husband died early, and she only had one son working as a guard in the escort team."

Brother Shan also told his son to tell the public that Grandma Guo was seriously injured and that he had no time to take care of her, so she sent her to a relative's home in the countryside to recuperate."

Jiang Yixi nodded. If Grandma Guo can't die, Mrs. Ma will definitely not survive. All the faults will be put on her.

In the west room of the upper room in the main courtyard, Mrs. Fu was leaning on the Arhat bed with her eyes closed. A girl was gently beating her legs, and another girl was fanning her with a Sichuan embroidery fan.

Because of her anger, Mrs. Fu's mouth pursed into a straight line and her nasolabial folds became deeper. Only then could she be seen as a powerful and cruel housewife.

The eldest lady rarely does this, and the girls are too frightened to make any noise.

Mrs. Fu didn't expect that things would come to this point. She didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to take action, and she didn't want to expose Xiaozhu, so she took advantage of the quick-talking Mrs. Ma and the dull Mrs. Guo. Little did she know that Mrs. Guo was a stubborn person and was not willing to use threats or inducements.

Go with what they want. I thought before that it would be okay even if Mrs. Guo didn't let go. As long as Mrs. Ma and Mrs. He were killed, she would have nothing to do.

Unexpectedly, Meng Cimo and his wife refused to acknowledge him and even said he could cure eye diseases, but the old couple seemed to believe them.

Xiaozhu would not lie. They must have done those things in broad daylight. If they had known this, they would have exposed Xiaozhu and asked her to testify, and things would not have come to this point.

Mrs. Fu rubbed her chest angrily. She still underestimated the enemy, that little brat had grown up...

At this time, a girl's voice came from outside, "Madam, Sister-in-law Song wants to see you."

Mrs. Fu opened her eyes and said, "Let her in, and you all can get out."

Sister-in-law Song is the daughter-in-law of Mr. Fu’s accompaniment, Mr. Song, who is now the second manager of the Duke’s Mansion.

She hurried to Mrs. Fu and whispered, "Madam, my father-in-law asked his slave to come in and report that Guo Sanfu's family was seriously injured and her son sent him to a relative's house in the countryside to recuperate."
