Chapter 77 Burnt
Seeing the red-hot iron flashing in front of her eyes, Leng Mei was so frightened that her whole body shook like chaff.
With a trembling voice, she said, "Mother Tang said that Second Grandma was very troublesome when she was a child. Her biological son was sick and she was not allowed to go home to take care of her. She was not even able to see her son before he died. She hated Second Grandma in her heart and kept looking after her.
Looking for an opportunity to take revenge. She also said that she had taken refuge with the princess and was helping the county chief. When the second mistress is divorced and returned to her parents' home, she will still be the steward of the second master's yard. If I can handle these two things, I will
I can be the second master’s roommate..."
Meng Chen kicked her a few times, "Tell me, what else haven't been explained? Who does Mrs. Tang take orders from? Who does she often get close to..."
Leng Mei kowtowed, "What I told is the truth. That's what Aunt Tang said. As for the rest, I was only transferred to Second Grandma for two months and I didn't even know about it."
Meng Cimo glanced at Dongmei, and then looked away with empty eyes. This girl didn't seem to be lying. This rhetoric not only had nothing to do with the Fu family, but also involved Princess Pinghe.
Meng Yue heard Leng Mei's words in the next room and burst into tears. Why did Aunt Tang, who she had always been close to, treat her like this...
Later, several other servants were interrogated...
In the end, the director of Baizi Temple was interrogated secretly. Only Meng Cimo, Meng Chen, and Meng Xiang were present.
On the morning of the 25th, the wind was freezing and the weather was gloomy.
Jiang Yixi was restless after getting up. She was waiting for news from over there.
At noon, Meng Qingshan came on horseback.
He roughly talked about the night interrogation of Su Xin and Dong Mei. The abbot of Baizi Temple was interrogated secretly and then executed. He also said that the Crown Prince had returned to Beijing with his people.
Things were going very smoothly. Jiang Yixi didn't know what Meng Yue would choose, whether Nanny Tang would successfully lead out the Fu family, and what other secrets Baizi Temple had...
At noon on the 27th, Meng Cimo came to Huzhuang. His expression was not relaxed, and Jiang Yixi guessed that things were not going well.
The two entered the west wing, and Jiang Yixi asked impatiently, "Has that matter been settled? How is Sister Meng?"
Meng Cimo said, "Dongmei died on the way back to the capital. She should have been poisoned beforehand, in order to prevent her from having a chance to speak. The people behind her did not expect that we knew about this in advance, in the middle of the night
She was interrogated..."
"However, there is no evidence to prove it. Mrs. Tang was stubborn and refused to admit that she asked Dongmei to deliver the letter and administer the medicine. During the execution, her heart disease relapsed and she died. Dongmei was the girl assigned to my sister by Princess Pinghe.
In this way, the leader on the surface points to the Huang family as the mastermind..."
"The letter was authenticated and found to be a forgery... My grandmother, father, and Mrs. Fu were all unwilling to report it to the government, saying they were afraid of damaging my sister's reputation and affecting the Meng family girls. My grandfather was also unwilling, he was sure
I am afraid that if Fu is really found out, it will affect the reputation of the Meng family. What I am even more afraid of is that my father will get involved, so I can only investigate by myself under the cover...
"My sister is completely disappointed with the Huang family and is willing to divorce. The Huang family does not admit that they instigated Dongmei to frame my sister, but they cannot get rid of the suspicion. For the sake of face, they are unwilling to report it to the government and agree to my sister and Xin'er to divorce. I let
If someone beats Su Xin so hard, he will be lame for the rest of his life. After a long time, he will be killed secretly.
"As for Zhao Yuancheng, he left early that day, and it seemed to have nothing to do with him. Before we could do anything, Baizi Temple was burned down yesterday, and it was the Zhao family. My grandfather has determined that the person behind it is the Zhao family, intending to provoke the Meng family
The ultimate goal of our relationship with the Huang family is to make enemies of Prince Ping. Even my father was wary of the Du family and would investigate secretly. However, my grandfather and I didn't want the Zhao family to notice that we had noticed them, so we suppressed some things.
…”
The abbot of Baizi Temple confessed that he started doing this after he became the abbot, that is, fifteen years ago. The financial backers include not only Zhao Yuancheng from the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, Su Xin from the Su Tongling Mansion, but also from the Weiwu Marquis Mansion.
Huang Zhi...
Jiang Yixi said, "Time is tight, and the personnel must avoid the influence of the Chengguo government. This result is already very good. The Fu family is easy to handle. If you find something wrong with her, just find a way to deal with it. If your father is wrong, he is the head of the Meng family."
Family members, important officials of the imperial court, if he brings the entire family to Zhao Guifei and the Fourth Prince, they will be in danger..."
Meng Cimo nodded. He still hoped that Duke Cheng Guo was just deceived by the Fu family, rather than actually disobeying his grandfather and secretly occupying the British King.
However, because they framed Meng Yue, the balance in Meng Laoguo's heart has tilted towards the side of King Ping and Diande Concubine. If he had to choose between King Ping and King Ying, Qu Deconcubine and Zhao Guifei, Lao Guoguo Meng would definitely
I chose Prince Ping and Concubine Qu De.
Moreover, through this incident, Meng Cimo's status in the old Duke's heart has surpassed that of his father, and he has full authority to dispatch the old Duke's private soldiers.
These two things were still a joy to Meng Cimo.
Jiang Yixi asked again, "Will Sister Meng and Xin'er return to live in the Meng Mansion?"
Meng Cimo said, "Well, they are temporarily living in the Meng Mansion."
Thinking of Meng Yue who threw herself into Mrs. Fu's arms and cried bitterly, Meng Cimo couldn't help but mourn her. But that was his sister, the flesh and blood left by his mother, and he was the closest person to him, so he couldn't ignore her.
The news that Meng Cimo is going to Western Shu to have his eyes checked has spread throughout the Chengguo Palace, and he will leave on the second day of winter.
Looking at his beloved girl whom he would not see for at least three months, Meng Cimo's eyes were full of reluctance.
When Jiang Yixi heard that he was leaving on the second day of winter, she was filled with reluctance and her eyes were red. In five days, they would be separated temporarily. Although the separation was for a longer time together, their hearts were still sour.
tight.
They stared at each other, as if they wanted to engrave each other into their hearts and minds.
After a long time, Jiang Yixi blushed and lowered her head.
Meng Cimo smiled and said, "My grandfather has already told my grandmother, father, and Mr. Fu about our matter. They... Mr. Fu still doesn't agree."
Even though he changed "them" to "Fu", Jiang Yixi could guess that Fu was pretending to disagree, while Mrs. Meng and Cheng Guogong really disagreed.
Even if Meng Cimo is blind, she, an orphan from a low-level family, cannot reach such a high level.
As for the Fu family, if Meng Cimo cannot marry the person Fu wants to marry, it is better to marry Jiang Yixi than marrying someone else. Jiang Yixi has a bad reputation in the capital and is of low origin, and because of Meng Ciyu's affairs, she cannot become the Duke of the country and an old lady.
Wait and see. Jiang Yixi hasn't married into the Meng family yet, but she has already made the head of the family dissatisfied. This is much easier to deal with than marrying a girl with a higher rank.
Meng Cimo added, "Grandfather said that my eyesight is bad and I must find a woman who can take care of people and understand some medical science, so they agreed. After I leave, I will ask a matchmaker to go to your house to propose marriage. Don't worry, my grandfather has already
Agree, from the moment you marry into my family, he will always live at home. With me and my grandfather, we will not let you be bullied. If my trip goes well, Mrs. Fu will not be as comfortable at home as before.
