Facing Su Yiqing's gentle gaze, Meng Si lowered her head and whispered: "Meng Si dare not."

"This silly child, the princess is your dear aunt, what's there to dare?" Mrs. Meng said to Meng Si with a smile.

Meng Si still lowered her head and replied: "Meng Si has a humble identity and really dare not rush to the top."

Su Yiqing curled her smile and her tone faded, "You don't even shout at my aunt. Do you dare to come and ask for a meeting. If you feel that your identity is low and you are not worthy of recognizing relatives, you shouldn't come here."

"Princess." Meng Si was a little panicked. Seeing that Su Yiqing seemed to be about to get angry, she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

"Xiao Fu, Meng Si is just a little timid..." Seeing Xiao Fu for some reason, Mrs. Meng turned her back and said, and hurriedly spoke to smooth things over. But halfway through the conversation, seeing that Su Yiqing's face was really wrong, she was afraid of being vented, so she didn't dare to say it.

Su Yiqing only looked at Meng Si and didn't speak.

Sometimes people don’t speak, which is more frightening than scolding, because they don’t know what to do in the next second.

Meng Si gritted her teeth and wanted to kneel down and admit her mistake.

Su Yiqing said lightly: "Don't kneel down. Unless etiquette requires you to do it, I don't like people kneeling down to me, because this is a way to ask others for help, and what they ask for is something that others are embarrassed about."

Meng Sili was still in the same place and was even more at a loss.

For a moment, needles fell in the courtyard could be heard.

After a while, Su Yiqing said: "The things in this world are really unfair. Your family is obviously a commoner who abides by the law, and your husband is even more injustice, but he ends up in trouble. A good family is about to be destroyed. But these people who say they are your relatives, but they stand by and let you beg for mercy in every way, but they just say that they are perfunctory. How can you not let you be upset?"

"Meng Si dare not think so." Meng Si whispered, but a stubborn look appeared in her eyes.

Su Yiqing said: "You believe in the character of the Chu brothers, but you have to think about whether outsiders believe it? You can't just rely on your one-sided words to convict the Chu brothers. The government must have conclusive evidence to determine the case. Now the evidence is vague. No matter whether it is the Dingwang Mansion or the Meng family, you cannot use your official position to suppress others. What is the difference between this and those who use power for personal gain?"

"But my husband is innocent." Meng Si couldn't help but defend himself. "Now the other party is fabricating evidence and spreading rumors."

"That's why we need verification. We need witnesses and evidence. These take time." Su Yiqing said, changing the subject. "My mother and I have their own positions and there are difficulties. If the evidence is not complete, we will force the government to solve the case, and we will inevitably be criticized. If we have a deeper background than someone, and whose relatives and officials will have to go to the other side of the case, then what should we do with assertions?"

"My mother-in-law and I are still worried that my husband will stay in prison for a long time... something will happen, and they will not allow us to visit us." Meng Si finally couldn't help but express his concerns.

"You can rest assured this." Su Yiqing said lightly, "Yancheng Prefect Zhu Ying is a smart man. The case has not been concluded yet. If something happens to the two brothers in prison, all the responsibility will fall on him. He is more anxious than anyone else. You are worried about your relatives, and he is also worried that the black sha will not be protected. Not allowing you to visit is also a kind of protection. If you see it too much, what will happen. Some bad people will use the suspect's relatives... It's not that you will harm your relatives, but that you will be exploited by others. It's really hard to explain what happens whenever you see it."

"Meng Si understands." Meng Si lowered her head, listening to the teachings very much.

Maybe I have suffered a lot in front of Mi Shi and have learned to disguise myself.

Su Yiqing said, "Whether you understand or not, I just tell you, since I promised to help you, I will definitely help you. I just hope that your Chu family will not be distracted from the situation first and give you opportunities. For example, today, your mother-in-law kneels down to your mother. For you, I am afraid that you will be wronged for your mother-in-law, but have you ever thought about how much trouble this kneeling will bring to the present? If you spread it, how will others think of your mother? I heard from my mother that before you get married, she also asked the nanny to teach you the rules carefully. Do less difficult things. Some things are not kneeling and begging, and others can help if they are soft-hearted. I hope you can explain it to your mother-in-law well and never be like this in the future."

"Yes...aunt." Meng Si finally called out to his aunt. After saying this for a while, she felt that this aunt had good intentions, unlike her grandmother, so she still listened to her aunt and called out to her.

"Be good." Su Yiqing then took off a pair of transparent jade bracelets in her hand and gave them to Meng Si as a gift.

Meng Si looked at the transparent appearance of the jade bracelet. No matter how hard he knew the goods, he knew that it must be of great value and did not dare to accept it.

At this time, Mrs. Meng said again: "Please take the gift from the elders."

Meng Si took it now.

Su Yiqing ordered the maid to send Meng Si out again.

Meng Si returned to the side courtyard, where the two elders of the Chu family rested.

As soon as Mrs. Chu, who was lying with a headache, saw her coming in, she sat down from the bed and asked hurriedly: "Good boy, what do you mean by Princess Ding?"

Meng Si did not dare to tell him the truth, so as not to worry Mrs. Chu, so she answered selectively: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, the princess and aunt promised to help, my husband will definitely be fine."

"Really?" Mrs. Chu was overjoyed and struggled to get up. "If so, we should kowtow to the princess."

"Mother-in-law..." Meng Si looked at Mrs. Chu with some embarrassment, "This princess and aunt finally came here and had something to say to her mother, so we should not disturb her."

"You kid is really ignorant. They are helping each other. It's up to us to kowtow to them." Mrs. Chu said as she wanted to go out.

Mr. Chu stopped her and advised: "My wife is right. How can this princess be seen by ordinary people just want to see you? People still want you to kowtow? Why don't you disturb me? You're not going to bother me, so that you will be a woman, accidentally say the wrong thing, and it will be bad if you annoy me. If Meng Si talks about this, what else do you have to worry about?"

"But..." Mrs. Chu was still hesitant.

When Mr. Chu saw it, he was immediately angry and lowered his voice, "Is it fake to kowtow? Do you want to ask the princess again? Get a correct letter, or hear someone say it in person, right?"

"This..." Mrs. Chu blushed, then said, "I'm not for our son?"

"You!" Mr. Chu shook his sleeves, "How can I tell you that these nobles are not as good as us ordinary people. If there are any difficulties on weekdays, they don't want to help. If you ask for more, they will agree. If they annoy them, they will ignore everything. The one who ends up suffering will still be the son."

"Yes. Mother-in-law, let's wait for the news slowly." Meng Si also advised. "The princess and aunt said just now, please don't walk around when we go home, so as not to give us opportunities. She said that if she could help, she would definitely help. If it weren't for the post from the Ding Prince's Mansion, the husband and the others would have been scammered by the Hong family... the princess and aunts would not have deceived us."

Mrs. Chu was persuaded by Mr. Chu and Meng Si, and she stopped insisting.

Mr. Chu took the opportunity to say again: "You see, it's going to be dark, so why don't you go back earlier? Are you still waiting for someone to keep us for dinner? Today is enough, and asking for it will only make people feel upset. Let's wait for two more days to see."

Mrs. Chu had no choice but to agree.

...

On the other end, Su Yiqing said to Mrs. Meng after Meng Si left: "Mother, will my father not help me inquire about this case?"

Judging from Meng Si's appearance just now, the people in Meng's house must have been perfunctory and forced them to kneel down and beg forth. Although it was a bit embarrassing, they felt sorry for their parents in the world, and there was something wrong with the Meng family.

Mrs. Meng's eyes flashed a little and she said vaguely: "Your father has always been not good at these things, but we have some inquiries."

Su Yiqing didn't need to think too much about it and didn't bother to let go. The matter of "no matter" was missing, and it would not affect anything. Therefore, she changed the topic and asked: "Mother... have you followed the Hu family recently?"

Hu family, Hu Shilang's family, Madam Meng's eyes flashed a little again. The Hu family is now a mess of sand. Madam Hu is dead. Miss Hu is said to be sick. No one can stare at their Meng family anymore. Naturally, she relaxed her vigilance. Seeing Su Yiqing suddenly asked, she did not dare to deceive her. She said to the truth: "There are a lot of things at home recently. Judging from the current situation of the Hu family, she can't take care of herself and it is difficult to make any mistakes, so I didn't pay much attention."

Su Yiqing said: "But don't forget, mother, the Hu family and the Hong family are in-laws. The Hu family has some disciples and old officials. If you do something behind the scenes, you may be unpredictable."

Mrs. Meng was a little surprised why Su Yiqing had this, but she said: "How could this happen? The one who married the Hong family was not Hu's own biological daughter. How could the Hu family have a very different relationship with the third wife? Hu and the Hong family hardly had no contact with each other, and even the false gifts of the festival were spared. Why would he still investigate the matters of the Hong family?"

"Nothing is absolute, the more impossible it is, the more likely it is." Su Yiqing looked at Mrs. Meng, "The Meng family doesn't want to see something happening to her in-laws. Does the Hu family hope that her son-in-law will die inexplicably? She still dies so disgraceful that she will spread it. People will also say that they were blindly ignorant and chose such a son-in-law for the girl."

Mrs. Meng didn't think about this, and hesitated for a moment and asked, "Xiao Fu, what do you mean... need to inquire about the Hu family's movements?"

Su Yiqing nodded, "Mom, don't forget, the Hu family and the Meng family had a mortal hatred at the beginning. The reason why the Hu family did not take revenge is probably not because they were broad-minded, maybe it was just because they couldn't find the right time for a while. If they waited for them to recover, they would have to settle the new and old accounts together."

It took Mrs. Meng a long time to understand. Xiaofu was hinting that the Meng family would be better off first?

But the Hu family is so big, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is not something that a woman can understand at all. Most of the private means of the inner house are women, and they must have a deep friendship between the two parties to work. For families that do not interact with each other, her hands are not that long.

After being embarrassed, Mrs. Meng could only tell the truth: "Now the Meng and Hu families have no contact, and some things are difficult to do."

"Mother, what do you think I want you to do?" Su Yiqing chuckled, "If you want to plot, don't look for your mother anymore. I mean, now my father can speak in the court, and Mr. Hu is not a very decent official. I guess there are many tricks for someone to arrest him. See if my father can find an opportunity..."

Su Yiqing stopped when she clicked, and there were some words that didn't need to be said too thoroughly.

"I'll tell you this to your father." Mrs. Meng said the truth, "but it depends on your father's own meaning. Now there are some things that your father will not tell me."

Su Yiqing nodded, "Mother, please remind my father. It's always good to be wary of the two families."

Beware of it, is it better to take action first? Mrs. Meng looked at the concubine daughter in front of her and said to herself that she was indeed not a good person, and she was a person who would have to take revenge, but she was just more tolerant than ordinary people.

After finishing the Hu family's affairs, Su Yiqing said again: "Mother, how did you find out about the Dajing Mission I mentioned last time?"

It was the Dajing Mission again. Compared to the Hong family and Hu family, Mrs. Meng was even more puzzled. Why did Xiaofu care so much about the Dajing Mission, and asked once every two days. Despite this, she did not dare to ask, but said, "I asked you Aunt Quan Si. It is said that the Dajing Mission brought many gifts and walked slowly. It would probably take a while before she could reach Yancheng, and she couldn't find out anything."

Su Yiqing frowned and asked, "Didn't the fourth aunt find out anything else?"

"What will happen?" After Madam Meng blurted out, she felt something was wrong and quickly added, "This messenger group is usually like this. Like the previous fierce tribe, there are a lot of goods and are so scattered. Isn't it special?"

Su Yiqing pondered for a moment and said, "Not necessarily. After all, the Great Zhou had been hostile to Dajing for so many years and fought several times. Not to mention the distance, even in the Battle of Yunzhou, the Great Zhou suffered many casualties and injuries. Now that the Dajing mission has arrived, many people will be resentful and may not be sure of doing anything."

"That's true." Mrs. Meng nodded, "Only my mother's Quan family, there are a few distant nephews who died in the Battle of Yunzhou. They hate Dajing to the core... But this enemy should be resolved rather than formed. Many people are afraid of war again. Even if they hate Dajing, they will not want to provoke war."

Meng did not participate in the battle in Yunzhou, and Madam Meng did not suffer much pain. What she was worried about was that if the two countries started a war, her son would probably go to the battlefield this time.
