Chapter 76 Substitution
The old Duke looked at Jiang Xun with disdain and said, "You are now half a grown-up, and you are still a mother-in-law. How can you become a hero like your father in the future?"
After hearing this, Jiang Xun quickly suppressed his tears and puffed out his chest.
After dinner, the old man asked Jiang Xun to accompany him to the flower room.
Jiang Xun looked back at his sister, a little puzzled. In the past, the old man always asked his sister to accompany him to the flower house and let him practice martial arts in the yard.
The old man looked at the silly boy and said more clearly, "Cimo is going to the west of Shu soon, and he has to let Miss Jiang give him acupuncture."
The old man obviously created opportunities for Meng Cimo and Jiang Yixi to be alone, which made both of them blush.
There was no one else in the room, so Meng Cimo said to Jiang Yixi, "You must have heard about Su Xin saving my sister, right?"
Jiang Yixi said, "Well, Jiang Da told me. If someone like Su Xin didn't know who was sitting in the car in advance, how could he risk the risk to stop the frightened horse?"
She must emphasize that Su Xin is a pervert.
Meng Cimo's face was stern. Someone saved Meng Yue, so he should be grateful. But Su Xin saved Meng Yue, he was in good terms with Zhao Yuancheng, and they both stayed at Baizi Temple at the same time, so people had to think too much.
He said, "Xixi, I also want to thank you. If you hadn't discovered in advance that Zhao Yuancheng, Su Xin, and Baizisi were wrong, we wouldn't have noticed them. Those bastards, if they dare to take advantage of my sister, I will
Let them die without a burial place. I can't leave the capital for the time being, and I have to resolve my sister's matter before I can rest assured. Now, our spies are also deployed around the Huang Mansion..."
Knowing that Meng Cimo sent people to protect and monitor Meng Yue, Jiang Yixi felt even more relieved.
Meng Cimo said again, "Another thing happened in Baizi Temple." He blushed slightly, pursed his lips, and said, "Our spies came to report that a monk named Wuyu from Baizi Temple ruined a man last night.
A woman who went to beg for a son. The woman was from a poor family, in her early twenties..."
Jiang Yixi cursed, "It's extremely hateful."
Meng Cimo sighed, "It's a pity that we can't close the net immediately. We must seize the evidence that Zhao Yuancheng and Su Xin are misbehaving inside..."
Jiang Yixi applied "health-preserving injections" to Meng Cimo, and the two of them talked quietly.
On the early morning of October 23rd, with light snow falling in the sky, Meng Yue took a sedan chair to the outer courtyard. She was going to Baizi Temple to ask for a son, and she would burn incense and eat vegetarian food there for three days out of sincerity.
She was having a hard time these days. Her mother-in-law broke up with her, and her family was unhappy and came to ask for an explanation. Only her mother had the best method, asking her mother-in-law to reason. As for her grandfather and father, one beat her father-in-law and her husband, and the other scolded his father-in-law and husband.
Husband, now not only her mother-in-law hates her, but also her father-in-law and her husband hate her...
The mother sent someone to tell her that if she could have a son, her mother-in-law and her husband might change their view of her for the sake of her son, and Xin'er would rely on her in the future. Aunt Hu said that Baizi Temple was the most effective, so she asked her mother-in-law for advice.
, my mother-in-law agreed very happily.
Meng Yue got on the carriage first, and then the nanny Hu got on the carriage, but she slipped and fell off the carriage, face down on the running board, and her nose started to bleed.
Meng Yue said distressedly, "You fell so hard, grandma, don't go, go back and rest."
Aunt Hu had no choice but to hold her nose and ask the girl to serve the second grandma well.
At noon, the Meng family and Jiang Yixi received the news that Meng Yue had gone to Baizi Temple to ask for a son and would stay there for three days.
Meng Cimo immediately rushed to Guanghe Temple, on the pretext of asking the Buddha to bless him that if he went to western Shu, he could be cured of his illness by medicine and regain his sight. After offering incense, he stayed at a farmhouse at the foot of Yuxiang Mountain some distance away from the village.
Small courtyard.
Although manpower has been arranged, Meng Cimo is still uneasy and wants to live not far from Baizi Temple to listen to the news and take command nearby. This small courtyard was rented a few days ago.
In order to keep it secret, not even Meng Qingshan and Meng Gaoshan knew about this matter, let alone alerted the guards and secret guards of the Duke's Mansion. Instead, Meng Xiang and Meng Chen directly mobilized the old man's private soldiers.
The old man handed over military power every time he came back from a war, but he kept 200 private soldiers outside. These soldiers were only dispatched by him, and even Duke Cheng didn't know about it.
Jiang Yixi also wanted to go to Guanghe Temple, but Meng Cimo didn't agree.
Jiang Yixi couldn't calm down, so she sat at the table and copied scriptures to calm down.
At noon on the 24th, Zheng Cimo from Guanghe Temple and Meng Laogong from Mengjiazhuang received news that Zhao Yuancheng and Su Xin went to Baizi Temple to offer incense. An hour later, Zhao Yuanji suddenly fell ill and had to return.
Beijing cures diseases.
At night, a strong wind blew outside, making the window paper rattle. Two pots of charcoal were burned in the room, but it was still freezing cold. Meng Yue sat on the kang and copied scriptures. The kang under her body was hot, but her fingertips were still cold. She
He rubbed his hands and continued copying, extremely pious.
The girl Dongxiang brought a bowl of tea and said with a smile, "Second Grandma, drink some hot tea to keep yourself warm."
Meng Yue put down her pen, picked up the tea bowl and drank.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Meng Yue felt sleepy.
The girls helped her get on the kang after washing, and she fell asleep as soon as her neck stiffened.
After the waiters were all asleep, Dongxiang patted the letter on her chest and quietly left the door.
A masked man quietly walked into the courtyard and threw a small piece of winter incense beside the kang.
Dongxiang came back a quarter of an hour later. She looked at Meng Yue again and saw that she was sleeping soundly, so she felt relieved and returned to her room.
Soon, the two people were sent back to the courtyard again. A woman-like person wrapped Meng Yue in a quilt and hugged her, and went out to the next yard. The other person carried Dongxiang into the kang where Meng Yue had slept before, and covered her with a quilt.
Yan. There is another person hiding in the pine tree outside the door...
At midnight, a terrifying scream suddenly came from a small courtyard behind Baizi Temple...
Dozens of sergeants controlled Baizi Temple and no one was allowed to go out to report the news.
Su Xin, who was knocked unconscious, Dongmei, the girl who delivered the message, several other servants who served Meng Yue, and the master of Baizi Temple who was knocked unconscious were taken to the farmyard at the foot of the mountain overnight.
Meng Yue had already arrived here earlier.
Meng Cimo, Meng Chen, and Mengxiang interrogated Su Xin and Dongmei first. Meng Qingshan and Meng Dingshan were waiting on the side, and they only knew about this, and they were still a little confused.
When Su Xin heard that the blind man in front of her was Meng Cimo, Meng Yue's younger brother, she was very unconvinced. She took out the letter and said, "You really can't blame me. This is a letter from Second Grandma Huang. She invited me..."
Before he finished speaking, Meng Xiang was punched in the stomach several times, leaving him speechless.
Dongmei was carried in by Meng Chen.
Dongmei was already frightened. She was slapped several times in the mouth by Meng Chen, and then she saw the red-hot iron. She struck first without asking.
"Sir, have mercy on me, please have mercy on me, I didn't want to harm Second Mistress. Aunt Tang asked me to deliver the letter, and Aunt Tang asked me to administer the drug."
Meng Xiang asked, "Why do you want to harm my eldest aunt?"
"I, I..." Dongmei stuttered, ashamed to speak out.
