Chapter 250 Strike
On May 28th, Concubine Qu and Ping Wang Li Xi, one of Li Xi's concubines, two concubines, two sons and a daughter were brought into the capital.
The renovation of Prince Ping's Mansion has not yet been completed, so Li Xi's family temporarily moved into the palace to live.
In the afternoon of the next day, the chamberlain came to Chengguo Palace to convey the emperor's oral instructions, asking Meng Cimo and his wife Jiang to enter the palace tomorrow to see Qu Concubine, so as to relieve Qu Concubine's pain of missing her sister.
She didn't mention meeting Meng Yue, maybe Qu Bin was still afraid that the prince would have bad ideas.
Jiang Yixi was very happy after receiving this oral instruction. She heard that Qu Bin looked the same as Meng Cimo's mother and was gentle and kind. She had long wanted to go to her. Moreover, she might be able to see Li Zhenbao, whom she had not seen for a long time.
All the masters at home came to the front yard to receive the order, including Meng Ciyu and Duke Cheng Guo, who had not been seen since Fu's accident.
Meng Ciyu's image shocked everyone.
He is extremely thin, pale, full of depression, and has green stubble on his lips, which is very different from his previous gentle image of "looking like Pan An." This look of desolation is even worse than in his previous life.
The old lady cried, holding his hand and saying, "Silly boy, how could you let that woman ruin your life? You still have decades to go. She is not good, but you still have a biological father.
Grandfather and grandmother, our family is all decent and good people, your future is still bright..."
This was the first time the old lady saw Meng Ciyu in such a long time, and she felt extremely distressed. She wanted to see him before, but the old man didn't allow her.
Meng Ciyu said with tears, "Grandma, your grandson has let you down. You don't need to comfort me. With such a mother, my life is over. I don't even dare to see anyone, so what future do I have..."
Duke Cheng Guo glanced at Meng Ciyu coldly, snorted, and walked towards his study with his hands behind his back.
Duke Cheng Guo has not lost any weight at all, but he looks a little haggard and angry. I heard that he has not gone to the office yet, and has excused himself for illness and asked for leave at home.
Jiang Yixi felt that this Meng Daoming had no long-term intentions, or that he was the only one in his heart. Regardless of the Qu family or the Fu family, once a person dies, his children will no longer be his.
The old man glanced at his son's back with disappointment, then frowned and said to Meng Ciyu, "A man can't bear this kind of blow, how can he be like my grandson Meng Ling? Can you learn from Cimo? He gritted his teeth no matter how hard he was hit.
I got through it and stood up again. I went back and thought about my mistakes, figured it out, and stood up again, and I was still a man."
Meng Ciyu shook his lips and wanted to say that no matter how bad Meng Cimo was, the blow was not as big as his own. His mother was a wicked woman and a slut, and it was already known to everyone. How could he stand up even if his face was gone?
…
He still didn't say anything, bowed to the old lady, and left.
Meng Hua was also much thinner, wearing plain clothes and a small white flower on her head. With tears in her eyes, she called "Third Brother", but Meng Ciyu ignored her.
Jiang Yixi remembered that the Fu family was suppressed by their elders because of Meng Yue's chance encounter with the prince. Meng Ciyu once restrained her sharpness, curried favor with her elders, made friends with Meng Cimo and Jiang Yixi, comforted her mother, and educated her younger sister...
There was a time when Jiang Yixi felt that this person still had merit. At least he loved his mother and sister for real.
Now it seems that what he did was just to love himself, and all his plans were only for himself. He felt that he had no hope, so he couldn't care about others.
In this way, Meng Ciyu is very similar to Duke Cheng Guo. After being hit, his sister is no longer his.
Her mother's reputation was ruined, she was divorced and died, her father hated her because of her, and even her brother ignored her... Meng Hua burst into tears.
She murmured to the back, "Third brother, you and your sister, we support each other..."
The back figure walked further and further away and disappeared behind the white wall.
Meng Lan and Meng Shuang walked over and whispered a few words of persuasion, then accompanied her to the inner courtyard.
No matter how much Jiang Yixi didn't like Meng Hua, she had to admit that she was much more responsible than Meng Ciyu. I heard that she begged the old man to secretly take people to pay homage to Fu's grave in the suburbs, had a stone tablet built, and paid for it privately.
The monk performed rituals for Fu.
The old man didn't stop her. Fu has nothing to do with the Meng family, she is still her biological mother. She doesn't even recognize the mother who gave birth to her, so what else can she expect from him.
Occasionally, the old man came to Jinyuan to serve flowers and plants and talked about this matter. He was still satisfied with Meng Hua's actions, but even more disappointed with Meng Ciyu...
The old lady wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and the second lady helped her get into the sedan chair.
It was a happy event, but when those people disturbed it, all the joy was gone.
Meng Yue walked back to the inner courtyard with Jiang Yixi and Huang Xin.
Meng Yue's eyes couldn't hide the joy, and she wasn't unhappy at all because Qu Concubine didn't invite her. Maybe she was happy that she didn't have to enter the palace, as she didn't like to see too many people.
When she was unmarried, Mrs. Fu never allowed her to hand in handkerchiefs. She occasionally took her to meet guests and rarely gave her a chance to talk. When she was the wife of the Huang family, she didn't take her into the house because the princess's mother-in-law didn't like it.
Not to mention visiting the palace, there are not even many guests.
Meng Yue smiled and said, "Tomorrow, my brothers and sisters will help me present the clothes to my aunt."
Previously, Meng Cimo asked Meng Yue to make clothes for Qu Bin as a sign of filial piety. Jiang Yixi also made two pairs of shoes for Qu Bin.
The scene just now made the young Huang Xin see something. She took Jiang Yixi's hand and said, "Auntie, seeing my second aunt so pitiful, I feel even more lucky that my mother is lucky. My uncle never cares about her."
My mother is taking care of her even if she can’t see her."
Jiang Yixi smiled and squeezed Xiao Nizi's hand.
Meng Yue thought about it, and said with shame, "Yes, my brother has been worrying about me since he was a few years old. He always looks for opportunities to secretly visit me and let me pay attention to my mother...Fu. Alas, I am stupid."
Meng Cimo went home in the evening and was very happy to hear the news. Although the emperor did not restore Qu Concubine's previous status as a virtuous concubine, he still gave her this favor.
He smiled and said, "As long as Auntie enters the palace, everything will be fine."
Jiang Yixi asked again, "Has that been taken care of?"
That thing refers to the poisonous little bead. The old man said that thing was not good. It could kill people without being visible. It could harm the enemy as well as himself. He asked Meng Cimo to bury it deep in the mountains. No matter how deep he buried it, he could not let it continue.
Harm people.
Meng Cimo was speechless and nodded vaguely.
Jiang Yixi took another deep look at Meng Cimo. Meng Cimo was not used to lying to her, or he felt that there was no need to lie to her. It was just because the old man had an order that he did not dare to tell the truth to her.
Meng Cimo looked at Jiang Yixi's thoughtful eyes and reached out to pinch her nose.
That pebble caused trouble. Not only did Zhao Hu want to take it back, but others would also want to take it for themselves if they knew about it.
The old man was so good at acting that he asked Meng Cimo to take people to bury it in the mountains. In fact, the thing was put in a bronze box and buried under a certain tree in Mengjiazhuang. Only the old man and Meng Cimo knew about it.
They have done experiments and found that the thing placed in a bronze box is much less "toxic" and can hardly cause harm to people and objects one foot away. If you like Chunman Jinghua, please collect it: (https://www.myxls.net) Chunman
