Chapter 442: An Emergency

"Xiao Fu, are you... okay?" Mrs. Meng saw that Su Yiqing's expression was a little wrong and stopped talking for a long time. She couldn't help but call out. She was a little scared, and Xiao Fu showed that resentful expression.

Su Yiqing came back to her senses and sighed inwardly that she was distracted. She became sentimental recently. When she thought of the past, she became distracted. She only said to Mrs. Meng indifferently: "It's okay, I'm thinking about my mother's words just now... According to my mother's opinion, what kind of person is Queen Ni?"

Out of Empress Xu's fear in the past, she felt that the first thing to pay attention to was Empress Ni. Although from Mrs. Meng's narrative, Empress Ni was a gentle, virtuous, dignified and generous person, she did not look at the appearance, but looked at the result. The battles in the Great Zhou harem were fierce, and concubines and palace maids died one after another, and the emperor was constantly favored, but this queen who seemed to have fallen out of favor could still sit firmly in the harem for many years, which made people suspicious.

If Queen Ni had a slightly worse wits, she would have died without a place to die. But if she had skillful means, she would not have noticed the bloody struggles in the harem. As the lord of the harem, she could not blame the chaos in the harem. Such a gentle and seemingly peaceful person is actually the most dangerous. She would not make things difficult for a little favor, but if she wanted to harm someone, there would be no signs, no personal reasons, and it would be a trick once she took action.

As for the two new favorites in the harem, Yang Fei and Hong Meiren, although they need to be wary of it, they are not directly harming others, but they are being used by others. She is not familiar with the fight in the harem, but where women want to gather together, there are only a few ways. These people are all noble ladies, and they are naturally different from those of the folk women. They directly curse and even fight, but their lethality is much stronger than those of the folk women. If they don’t take action, they may have to kill people.

Mrs. Meng said the truth: "Actually, I have only met Queen Ni a few times. The closest one is nothing more than saying a few words. As the lord of the harem, it is not advisable to be too close to the wife of a military general who holds heavy troops. It is just a few short sides, and we can judge the specific person from the words of others."

Su Yiqing thought for a while and asked again: "Where is Queen Ni's family? How about her family?"

Lu Teng told her about Empress Ni's family, which is an ordinary scholarly family. Her father is noble because of his daughter. After Empress Ni became the queen, his father was named Ping'an Bo, with two brothers, both of whom were studying. He was very low-key in daily life. In recent years, her brother has often gone out to study and is not in Yancheng. Her father Ping'an Bo is said to be writing a book, but he never came out. He only interacted with a few scholars who were half of the idle clouds and wild cranes.

The family looked so low-key that it could not be as low-key as it was. She attended several banquets, but she had never met the female family members of the Ni family. I think they would not come out for social engagements either.

But she still wants to know. In the eyes of some ordinary people, she sometimes cannot judge a person, so she has to start with the people she is close to. Birds of a birds gather together, and often deal with treacherous people, so this person is not much better.

"We have no contact with the Ni family, and I don't know much about this." Mrs. Meng said apologetically, thinking again, "I know that they are always obedient and obedient. Regardless of men and women, they never cause trouble or even offend others. Instead, Concubine Ming's family is very arrogant."

"Oh, Concubine Ming's grandfather had been a Grand Tutor before?" Su Yiqing filtered the family of Concubine Ming in her mind. Regarding the position of Grand Tutor, in the first TV series she came into contact with in her previous life, Grand Tutor has always been a villain.

Mrs. Meng nodded, "Yes, this Ming Taishi is highly respected and the ministers in the court admire him very much. Unfortunately, he died before he became emperor... After his death, the Ming family changed their past low-keyness and became arrogant."

Su Yiqing asked a question, "This Concubine Ming was a concubine before the emperor ascended the throne. Since the Ming Taifu was so respectful, why did he let his granddaughter be a concubine at that time? He was still under the Empress Ni, who had an ordinary family background? The Emperor had not revealed it too much at that time?"

"This is something that happened more than ten years ago, and I'm not very clear." Mrs. Meng took it over with some vagueness, dodging her eyes, and said in her thoughts, "This little Fu looks very cautious in daily life. How can he speak so carelessly today? Can such words be said directly? They occasionally talk about the nature of the empresses of each palace in their inner houses, but it is a bit inappropriate to talk about some secrets. You must know that there are ears in the walls.

Su Yiqing didn't say anything, and lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

Mrs. Meng suddenly felt that she seemed to have said the wrong thing. Maybe Xiaofu didn't really want to know these things, but her attitude. It would be bad if she said she knew something and still hid it. Then she added: "There are many rumors about this matter. I just heard that it is better to spread more. The Ming Taishi, who was wise in the past, felt that the prince's saint was very promising. Even if he was a side room, he would be willing to marry his granddaughter to the saint... Of course, some people who were not against the Ming Taishi or the Ming family were disseminated, and it was said that the saint was not the Ming Taishi, but the Concubine Ming, which was nothing more than the private teachings."

Su Yiqing guessed that it was probably just like this, or there was another possibility that since the Ming Taishi was highly respected, the emperor who was still a prince at that time set up any traps to find help.

She asked Mrs. Meng about this not to reveal people's privacy or secrets, but to learn more about the experience of these concubines in the harem, and their personal experiences affect their personality and purpose.

Whether Concubine Ming is obsessed with the position of prince affects her behavior, so it can be inferred whether this person is doing everything and has different skills for different people.

As he was talking, Lu Teng came to report that his mother was coming, that he wanted to see Mrs. Meng, and that something happened at home.

Mrs. Meng frowned. If it weren't for the fire, no one would have come to urge her at home. And the person who came was so steady that she was so serious that she said that she could not hide it in front of Xiaofu, and would not be hiding it in secret, so as not to have a knot in Xiaofu's heart.

Since the person who came was Ping's mother, he naturally knew what to say and should not say. He immediately ordered Ping's mother to come in.

After entering the house, Ping's mother bowed and then hurriedly said to Mrs. Meng: "Madam, something happened in the village in the suburbs. Mr. Shen started to make trouble when he was hiring Miss Meng Si at Chu's family... The Chu family was scared away. What do you think about this?"

When Mrs. Meng heard this, she hurriedly said to Su Yiqing: "Xiaofu, it is related to Meng Si's lifelong happiness. I'll go and see you tomorrow."

"Mom just go. What's the use of getting the place where Prince Ding Mansion is? Just say it." Su Yiqing also expressed her concern.

After Madam Meng thanked Meng Si again, she hurriedly took the maid and the old lady away.

In the carriage, only Mrs. Meng and her mother were left.

Then Mrs. Meng asked, "What did Meng Shen say, but it actually scared the Chu family away?"

There is priority for the matter. Compared with the Dingwang Mansion, no matter how big the Mengshenyi family is, it is a small matter. If you can't hurry to come to her, something big must have happened.

Ping's mother said, "Uncle Shen... He used the excuse to preside over the marriage of his daughter. A few days ago, Mi Shi told him well, and he promised to do it well. He said he would never cause trouble. Mi Shi felt that he had figured it out and neglected it... Today, when he was hired, he suddenly said to the Chu family...... "

Mother Ping dared not continue to say anything.

Mrs. Meng passed a faint premonition and said anxiously, "Mom Ping, tell me quickly."

"I really don't dare to say it." Ping's mother lowered her head, looking terrified.

"As far as this is concerned, there is nothing else I dare not say? I really dare not. What are you doing when I come to me?" Mrs. Meng was really angry and wanted to pry open Mother Ping's mouth.

Ping's mother lowered her head, dared not look at Mrs. Meng, and said softly: "Uncle Shen said... she said Miss Meng Si is not his biological daughter."

"That's it?" Mrs. Meng breathed a sigh of relief. If she was just accusing Tonglian of committing adultery with someone, after all, a small matter would be just a scandal.

Ping's mother looked panicked again and said, "Uncle Shen also said...and said... Miss Meng Si is...it should be her sister."

"Sister..." Mrs. Meng passed the words in her heart, almost jumped up, and said, "Are you talking about them?"

Ping's mother whispered: "Uncle Shen said that Miss Meng Si is the master's biological daughter."

Mrs. Meng was stunned for a while before she said sternly: "It's simply nonsense. The Mengshen family was sent to the countryside before I passed the door. She hasn't come back for more than ten years. The master has never been to the small village where he lives. How could Meng Si be the master's biological daughter?"

Ping's mother said in panic: "Yes, Mi said that the master was talking nonsense at that time... But, how can outsiders distinguish such things? The Chu family was frightened when they heard it. They quickly found an excuse to say that it was a betrothal gift that seemed to have been wrong. They wanted to go back and count it, and then ran away with the betrothal gift..."

"Then will this marriage be done?" Mrs. Meng sighed. It's a pity that a good girl like Meng Si was told by her biological father. How could she have the face to be a human being in the future?

"It's not just that." Ping's mother gritted her teeth, "Uncle Shen also said in front of the Chu family that Mi and the master... Mi went up to fight with the master. Everyone was going to chase the Chu family again, so that they would never take Mr. Shen's words seriously... For some reason, Uncle Shen ran out in the chaos, and didn't know where he went."

Mrs. Meng's face changed drastically and she said anxiously: "Did you go find me?"

"All the people in the village went out to find them, but they couldn't find them at all." Ping's mother hesitated for a moment and said, "Later, I felt something was wrong. Uncle Shen was alone and unfamiliar with the surrounding terrain. How could he run so fast? So I counted the number of people in the village and found that an old servant was missing. I thought that the person in the house was bought by Uncle Shen and helped Uncle Shen escape. The master went to the banquet. I had no choice but to come to find a wife. Madam, you have to think of a solution quickly, otherwise Uncle Shen would talk nonsense outside, how could Miss Meng Si meet people?"

Now there is no place to care about how Meng Si, a concubine daughter, meets people. What Mrs. Meng thought of was a more serious problem. Ping's mother thought of Meng Shen who deceived the old servant in the room, which helped him escape, but she didn't feel that Meng Shen was almost under house arrest. She had nothing to do, so how could she tell the old servant?

Those who are a little bit smart will not listen to Mengshen's instigation. In addition, helping Mengshen escape, they must prepare a carriage. These all require money. What should Mengshen do after he goes out?

Meng Shen is not a fool, he is penniless, what can he do when he escapes? Although he is under house arrest in the village, he has no worries about food and clothing at least, he must have had plans to escape.

The plan was thorough, and this was not something that a person like Mengshen could think of. There must be outsiders to respond. Maybe someone outside bought the people in the farm and said something to Mengshen. Then Mengshen was encouraged to decide to leave it behind. When he was about to slander his biological father, he then took off.

The most difficult question now is not what Meng Si should do in the future, but what Meng Shen plans to do? If this kind of adultery that slandered his father and himself would have a great impact on the reputation of the Meng family.

Especially Xiaofu is about to enter the palace and accept Jinbao's entry into the book. If there is any scandal in the Meng family at this time, how can Xiaofu deal with himself in front of those nobles?

Even Mrs. Meng suddenly thought of a more serious problem. Meng Shenzhen was going crazy and did something to die together, talking nonsense, throwing dirty water everywhere, and even implicating Xiaofu. That was amazing.

Thinking of this, she immediately had a headache and asked Ping's mother again: "Have you notified the master of this?"

Ping's mother said, "I have sent someone to notify me, but except for the servants and the people in the village, no one knows what's going on. The servant sent to pass the message only knows that there is something wrong in the village, and I don't know what's going on, so the master hasn't come back yet."

"Send someone to urge..." Mrs. Meng thought for a while and said, "You go in person, just say... and say..."

Mrs. Meng couldn't think of any good excuse for a moment, and could find Meng back in front of outsiders.

Ping's mother's mind was quickly turned and she immediately said, "I said that there was water left at home. Madam thinks it's feasible?"

"Okay, at this point, you can do whatever you want except telling the truth." Mrs. Meng didn't care about the taboos and had to find Meng Ye quickly. The couple discussed countermeasures together and planned the worst. If Meng Shen talked nonsense outside, how should they deal with it and how should the rumors be calmed.
