Chapter 408 Weaknesses
Wanting to understand the powerful relationship, Meng Ye suddenly became anxious.
But it's useless to worry. Where can I find the bones of Xiaofu's biological mother? You can't fake a tomb. It's easy for an experienced person to spot the flaw.
Mrs. Meng frowned. The matter was more serious than she thought. She began to think that even if Meng Shen sued his father, what would happen? It is not easy to find evidence for an old case? And Meng Xiaofu was thrown away
Who in Yancheng knows what happened in the countryside for many years? How could such a person be easily affected by such a thing?
But Xiaofu's biological mother is different. After pulling back and forth, it is easy to involve the death of Xiaofu's biological mother. They are both women, and they are pregnant women who are about to become mothers. It is impossible to be indifferent to the death of their biological mother.
As long as Xiaofu is resentful, people may take advantage of him. Now this matter is really tricky. The only hope is that she is wrong.
At this time in Prince Ding’s Mansion.
After hearing Luocao's report, Su Yiqing just sighed and said nothing.
In fact, she had heard some rumors earlier. When she went out to attend the banquet, someone whispered behind her back, but she ignored it.
It's ridiculous. Meng Xiaofu's biological mother was just a concubine, and she has been dead for many years. These people acted like they knew the inside story, and they were whispering behind her back. They just thought that what happened to Meng Ye's first wife was too big. According to that
A woman's temperament is bound to poison her concubines and children. If you take a casual guess, you can guess that this aunt must have suffered a lot of abuse during her lifetime and died at a young age. If it were not for the persecution of the eldest wife, no one would
Believe it.
Of course, this is also because she is not the real Meng Xiaofu. If she was the real Meng Xiaofu, she would definitely not be able to treat it with a normal heart when she heard this news.
It's not that she is cold-blooded and the matter has nothing to do with her, but that the lady is dead and there is no way to pursue the case. There are countless such things in wealthy houses. Back then, Yuanping Uncle Mansion did not know how many aunts were so quiet.
People have disappeared, seen more, and people have become indifferent.
This is where the environment is scary, so she wants to escape from that place all the time. Even when she later meets a man like Zhao Boyang, who can easily make women's hearts flutter, it's not that she doesn't have a heartbeat, but this little heartbeat can't overcome the fear in her heart.
Later, Lian Yufeng's marriage proposal actually gave her an excuse, an excuse to convince herself to live up to her deep love. It didn't mean that marrying Lian Yufeng would get rid of all this. It just gave herself an excuse to be indifferent and say that she
She was forced to marry him. So she just had to protect herself and didn't have to worry about the rights and wrongs of their family.
It was about Princess Baozhen. She knew from the beginning that Zhao Boyang would not treat Princess Baozhen well. Princess Baozhen would eventually pay the price for her willfulness. If she had married someone who was deeply affectionate for her and worked hard to do so,
The best Zhao Boyang, she couldn't just watch Zhao Boyang's relatives go to destruction step by step. Even if she knew she couldn't save them, she still had to do her best, and she might be trapped in it at any time.
Just because she married Lian Yufeng, she felt that Lian Yufeng owed her something back then. She could look at Lian Yufeng's sister with a cold eye and just dig her own grave, and then look at the group of people in Lian Yufeng's backyard.
The beauties are fighting over each other, just like watching a play.
But it's different now. She has entered the drama and become a person in the drama. She is gradually following the path of the drama that may have been planned by others.
She can't control the overall situation, she can only be vigilant at all times and don't make a wrong step.
When I was thinking about it, the voice of the green vine outside the door sounded softly: "Princess, the ginseng soup has just been made from the kitchen."
"Bring it in." Su Yiqing ordered calmly.
In her previous life, she had only heard of ginseng and had never even seen it. Her impression was that it was a very precious thing. After coming to this world, many things that were unattainable in her previous life became commonplace, and ginseng became
As common as radishes, no matter how precious something is, it becomes common if there are too many of it.
In fact, the taste of this kind of food is really ordinary, and those who are not used to it will feel a strange smell. When she was not pregnant before, she could choose. She almost didn't eat it, but now that she is pregnant, for the sake of her child, she doesn't like it.
She also needs to drink. She has gotten pregnant but has not gained much weight. She should eat more nutritious food.
He drank a cup of ginseng soup while it was hot, put down the soup bowl, and then asked Lu Teng: "What happened in the house recently?"
"It's nothing serious." Lu Teng answered respectfully.
"Then there's something trivial, let's talk about it." Su Yiqing felt that it was unlikely to be so calm. Instead of waiting for something big to happen before telling her, why not know some trivial things first to prevent being too late to deal with something when something happens?
However, Lu Teng did not answer all questions as usual, but said: "Please forgive me, Princess. Before leaving, the prince told his servants that all the miscellaneous matters in the palace will be handled by the steward, and the princess cannot be disturbed by such trivial matters."
"Can't I even listen to it?" Su Yiqing looked at Lu Teng quietly.
"I don't dare to hide it." Lu Teng thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing else besides Yue Mian... I've been wanting to come back to see Xue Niang recently. This Yue Mian was also the eldest maid in the mansion, and she was favored by the princess.
Marry... I have made several requests in a row, but the person in charge is not allowed."
Yue Mian and Su Yiqing frowned slightly. This maid asked for grace to leave the house a few months ago. Why is she still asking to see Xue Niang?
Lu Teng said: "My servant heard some rumors. After Yue Mian left the house this month, she partnered with others and opened a shop specializing in fruit cakes. She is good at craftsmanship and her business is very prosperous. Because her husband-in-law is still elsewhere.
The school teaches children how to study. Others are jealous of her business, but they dare not bully her. However, since the prince left Yancheng, it seems that some rogues have come to make trouble. I think Yue Mian may want to ask Xue Niang for help. "
After Su Yiqing heard this, she couldn't help but secretly shake her head. This Yue Mian was smart, but growing up in the palace, she took many things for granted.
She thought that with her good craftsmanship and her husband being a scholar, teaching in the palace, no one outside would dare to bully her? But she didn't think about it, they didn't dare to blatantly attack someone from the other palace, even though she was a minor.
It's really easy. For a few taels of silver, you can hire a few gangsters to come to your door.
Not to mention that the situation in the palace is over, those scoundrels collected money and came to cause trouble for a few days. By the time you found good people to support them, they would have disappeared without a trace, and a new batch would be replaced every few days, just to create
Trouble, for a caring person, killing a little maid is worth it to make her frown.
This was the time to test people's hearts. She told Lu Teng: "Let Snow Lady see her, don't say anything, and see what Snow Lady will do."
Xue Niang's heart is a bit soft. If she can't harden her heart at this time, she will not be a useful person, so she must be careful to prevent outsiders from using Yue Mian to blackmail Xue Niang.
Green Vine took the order and left.
Soon, Xue Niang met Yue Mian by the corner gate.
There are rules in the house. Although Xue Niang is also a steward, and Yue Mian was also a small steward a few months ago, it is not impossible to let her in for a few words. But Xue Niang does not want to break the rules and let others talk.
When the big housekeeper gives favors, she can't make it difficult for the big housekeeper. She just says a few words. It's the same everywhere.
Yue Mian looked very anxious. As soon as she saw Xue Niang, she said, "Auntie, you must help me."
Xue Niang sighed and said, "Are you being bullied outside?"
"How do you know?" Yue Mian was a little surprised.
Xue Niang smiled bitterly and said, "It's easy to guess. When the prince is away, the princess ordered the door of the palace to be closed tightly and not to go out unless necessary. This is to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to embarrass the servants in the mansion. Now that the servants in the mansion are not going out, outsiders will not be able to embarrass themselves.
Naturally, I can only embarrass those of you who are related to each other. Tell me, is the shop being damaged?"
"How do you know?" Yue Mian repeated what she just said again.
Xue Niang shook her head and sighed again: "This is a very old trick. If you can't move the master, you can only move a few servants. Now you are the most embarrassed. You can say that you are from the palace, but you can also say that you are not. From now on
It’s best if you start.”
"Aunt, since you know, please come up with an idea for me." Yue Mian said anxiously.
"I haven't even been to your shop, so what idea can I make?" Xue Niang shook her head again.
"Don't you know a lot of people?" Yue Mian actually didn't expect Xue Niang to come up with any good ideas or reveal her plans. "Many people in the palace owe you favors. As long as you come forward and find a few palace guards, they can come to my shop.
If you take a look around, those rogue people will definitely not dare to harass you again."
Xue Niang looked Yue Mian up and down for a long time.
That look made Yue Mian feel a little uncomfortable, and she forced a smile and said, "Aunt, why are you looking at me like this?"
"Who gave you this idea?" After Xue Niang finished speaking, without waiting for Yue Mian's answer, she immediately said, "No matter who gave you this idea, I tell you, stay away from this person in the future, and it is best not to interact with him again.
This person has no good intentions."
"Why is this?" Yue Mian was a little confused. She saw that many shops were like this. If they were in trouble, they would either pay some money to ask the government to come forward and find two government officials to hang out at the door, or ask them to
It's not like she hasn't tried to find more powerful people on the street to come forward, but those gangsters seemed to have a tough backstage, so she wanted to ask the palace guards to come forward. Of course, the proprietress of the shop next door kindly reminded her.
Xue Niang said: "After all, you are young and have little experience. You have never thought about what will happen if the palace guards come forward and those rogues refuse to give up?"
"How is that possible? They are just a few gangsters. How dare they go against the palace?" Yue Mian didn't believe it. Someone was jealous of her shop's good business and wanted to run against her and bully her. She is a woman. Her husband is weak.
Scholar?
"The scoundrels have already stopped making trouble, but they are making trouble when the prince is leaving Yancheng. Is it possible that a few scoundrels can still keep an eye on the palace's movements?"
you
Jump, if the palace guards don’t come forward, they will just smash things. If the guards come forward, they will make more fun and conflict. If something happens to these scoundrels, the palace guards will be charged with intentional homicide. "
"No way, how is this possible?" Yue Mian still couldn't believe it, she just had a small shop.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not." Xue Niang didn't want to say too much, she just said, "If you don't believe it, you can give it a try and see if they will just give up if you hand over the shop."
"How is that possible? I spent a lot of effort on this shop." Yue Mian actually didn't want to trouble Xue Niang, but she just couldn't bear to part with everything she had worked so hard to build. A small decoration on the wall of the shop and a stool were all chosen by her.
Yes, she really couldn't bear it.
Xue Niang said: "It's up to you. If you don't want to let it go, just hold on until the prince comes back. Then everything will be fine."
"But those gangsters come to harass her every day." Yue Mian said and blushed slightly. Those gangsters not only came to harass the store's business, but also took advantage of her in their words. They didn't dare to do anything yet.
, but she was really scared. If it continued like this, it would be sooner or later.
Xue Niang sighed: "You are too worried and a little impatient. You said you don't want to be a maid anymore and want to leave the house on your own. It's not like your husband can't support you now. You also have some savings at home.
Take good care of your husband-in-law's studies, and help out in other courtyards when you have free time. It would be great to take care of those children. If you have to do some business, if you really want to do business and make money, why didn't you marry a businessman, become a business woman, and do it together as a couple?
Business?"
"Aunt..." Yue Mian really didn't expect that Xue Niang would say such a thing. When she left the palace, Xue Niang didn't say anything. Later, she said she wanted to open a shop. Xue Niang also asked her if she had enough money. If not, she could lend some to her.
She looked very supportive, why did she say this now?
If she didn't know Xue Niang well, she would really think that Xue Niang was the kind of person who would make the most of things according to the circumstances.
"Don't blame my aunt for speaking harshly now." Xue Niang sighed, "There are many things that I couldn't say before, and you may not be able to hear them. Besides, my aunt didn't expect this. There are a lot of troubles in the palace now. If you stay here now,
Also scared
Yes, go out and work hard, maybe you can have a good life. My aunt has been looking forward and backward all her life, worrying too much, so that she missed many opportunities. My aunt does not regret it, but she does not want you to follow my old path... But, you
After all, I was a little impatient."
Yue Mian lowered her head. She just wanted to earn more. She used to worry about what would happen to the palace, so she thought that if she could open a shop to make money without relying on the palace, she wouldn't have to worry so much. Who could have expected that those ruffians would
A scoundrel would be so bold and dare to bully someone so blatantly.
Snow Lady advised: "Before, you said that you wanted your aunt to listen to your advice, but now my aunt is asking you to listen to your advice, so that you can keep the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. It's just a shop, and it's just closed to rest. After a few days,
