Chapter 186: Picking Leaves

In the story told by Liu Qingqing, Meng Zhongting and Xue Wan are the talented men and beautiful women who can only meet in the play and fall in love with each other at first sight, and then express their hearts to each other for life.

At that time, Xue Wan was the only lady in the Duke's Mansion, and her appearance and talent were of top quality.

Xue Wan is not like an ordinary lady, who never goes out of the door without going out. She has always liked to dress up as a man to make friends with famous people.

At that time, there was an elegant solar term in the capital, called the Flower Festival.

On this day, famous literati and poets in the capital gathered together to recite poems and paintings. This elegant gathering is called the Yutang Club.

"My sister was a song about peony skills at the Yutang meeting. The master happened to pass by here in Beijing and wrote a song about love. He accidentally broke through his sister's identity as a daughter. The two formed a relationship like this. However, after all, the master was a down-and-out scholar from a remote countryside. How could he easily ask for his sister? The two agreed that when the master was on the high school list, he would come to ask for marriage."

After a while, it was the day when the autumn test was released.

Meng Zhongting was indeed on the list of gold, and the emperor appointed him as the new student Tanhua.

Xue Wan was very happy to learn that the good letter was. When she arrived at Meng Zhongting to visit the Duke, the two of them made this friendship public.

"Originally, this should have been a good marriage that was natural for a fake friend, but although the master was a winner, it was still a bad family. Duke Xue did not agree to this marriage. The sister pleaded with mercy in every way, but it was useless. Later, the master asked for marriage sincerely several times and was appreciated by the emperor as a fifth-rank official. Duke Xue agreed to this marriage."

The wedding date is scheduled on the eighth day of the eighth month. At this time, Concubine An met Meng Zhongting several times and felt that this person was unreliable.

But Xue Wan, who fell in love, wouldn't listen, and her close friend broke up.

However, Liu Qingqing didn't know about this, Meng Jiao just connected the context of what the two people said.

"It was a joy to everyone when things came to this point, but who knew that when my sister was about to marry, Duke Xue was suddenly reported to rebel. For some reason, the emperor did not allow Duke Xue to defend, but ordered the search of the Xue family. When the imperial edict was issued, the master rushed to the Xue family and took his sister away. While the Xue family was jailed, the two of them worshiped the world. In this way, even if the sister was a member of the Meng family, she avoided the disaster."

Concubine An did not mention what Liu Qingqing said.

Meng Jiao thought carefully about the authenticity of this matter.

After hearing from Concubine An, the Xue family did fall into decline overnight, but she did not explain the reason.

If what Liu Qingqing said was true, it would be a case of investigation that year, and there would probably be another hidden truth.

But Meng Jiao couldn't understand one thing. If the Xue family was confiscated that day, how could Xue Wan, as the only daughter in the family, leave so easily and marry someone on the day when the family was in trouble.

Meng Jiao didn't want to believe that her mother was such a careless person who ignored her family.

"The misfortune comes from the grandfather's family. How could her mother get married at this time?"

"Sister is naturally not such a cold-hearted person, it's because... because my sister was pregnant with you at that time... If she hadn't been pregnant with you, she would have naturally gone with Duke Xue..."

Liu Qingqing choked and choked up when she said this. When she picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears, her face showed a ferocious look.

I secretly hated that if Xue Wan hadn't been pregnant with Meng Jiao at that time, she would have been trapped in prison like the Xue family who was imprisoned. How could she have the chance to marry into the Meng family and step on her head!

When he took the handkerchief away, Liu Qingqing looked sad again.

Meng Jiao did not find any flaws, but she did not fully believe Liu Qingqing's words as before. She was considering these words, which are true and which are false.

"In the future, everyone in the mansion knows it. When my sister was pregnant for three months, she was sick and sick. In order to make a happy celebration, the master married me into the house. Later, my sister was pregnant for eight months. I went to find a reliable doctor, but who knew... Who knew that the doctor was actually lustful. She fell in love with the maid in her sister's room. Her sister refused to give it to her, so he actually... made a murderous move!"

Meng Jiao was a little stunned. This was a completely different remark.

As Guifei An said, that doctor was Liu Qingqing's man, and it was all Liu Qingqing's idea that Xue Wan died of blood.

But Liu Qingqing gave a completely opposite set of rhetoric, and with a straight look, all the story lines became clearer.

"Second wife, I don't know that maid is still alive now?"

"I've been gone for a long time... My sister died of a bloody collapse by the doctor. Although she was in love with the doctor, she was not the one who was ungrateful to the master. She seemed to have harmed her sister, so she swallowed gold and committed suicide on the seventh day after her sister went there."

Sure enough, another death was unsuccessful. Meng Jiao sneered without a trace, but didn't say anything, just listening to Liu Qingqing continue to talk.

"After that maid died, we realized that it was because of this incident that the doctor harmed his sister. But when he realized that when he went to search again, the doctor had already run away without a trace. He had been searching for so many years, but he couldn't find any trace at all. But this is all a story. After my sister died that day, the master was extremely depressed. If it weren't for the frequent visits, I'm afraid... I'd go with my sister..."

In Liu Qingqing's story, Meng Zhongting is a good husband with deep affection and friendship.

But Meng Jiao doesn't believe it all.

If you have deep love and friendship, how could you treat her biological daughter so coldly, and even leave the mansion without even asking about it for thirteen years?

If her biological daughter is said to be a bad star, how could he easily believe it? And he has never doubted it for so many years?

Just suspicion, but he could only suppress his heart. He still had to pretend to be moved by this deep emotion. Meng Jiao only felt that it was really disgusting.

"So...it turns out that my father is so affectionate to his mother."

"No...not only to my sister, but also to take good care of you. My sister left at that time. The reason why the master could survive was not only because someone visited me, but more because you were still alive. The master was very good to you. But later, strange things happened frequently, and there was a Taoist priest who came from unknown where he said that you were born to defeat your father and mother. The master didn't care about this, but... it was just that he had to care about everyone. If he kept you by his side, it would be hard to guarantee that others would not find your fate that day. At that time, I was afraid that another disaster would be caused."

According to Liu Qingqing, Meng Zhongting sent Meng Jiao away because of her original intention of protecting her, but Meng Jiao is no longer a three-year-old child. She can already tell whether this original intention is true or not.

Liu Qingqing's original intention was to make Meng Jiao believe that her fate was indeed a Yinsha star, and then to make her believe that she had been ignoring for so many years, not because she didn't love her, but because she loved her too much, so she could not treat her like this.

But she didn't know that Meng Jiao had heard another story from Concubine An. These two stories were very different or even completely opposite.

Although it is not accurate now, Meng Jiao has an answer in her heart.
