"Your Majesty is so gracious, and it really puts the young lady at the forefront of the limelight. Although the young lady is your majesty's savior, such a gift... really goes too far beyond the rules."

Nanny Lin was a little worried. As soon as she said these words, the few maids who were collecting the gifts also frowned.

They were all just happy and forgot that this was against the rules.

The rest of the people accepted rewards strictly according to the ancestral rules, but Meng Jiao's reward was several times richer. Doesn't it mean that Meng Jiao was put in the spotlight?

"Even if you are under public criticism, you have already given this gift. There is no reason to send the emperor's favor back. Just keep it. There are always big rewards during the New Year. With these things, it won't be too difficult.

.”

Meng Jiao gave the order, and Cui Jin and the others naturally obeyed.

It's just that Meng Jiao specifically told me that a very ostentatious object like Ye Mingzhu's plaque should never be used on the door of Qianjing Residence.

"Your Majesty's move probably has a deeper meaning. Firstly, it is to reward the young lady, and secondly, it is for the sake of old friends. Thirdly, the conflict between our Majesty and the Queen Mother is quite serious."

Nanny Lin saw this matter most clearly. The Queen Mother did not like Meng Jiao, so the reward was not very attractive to her.

It was impossible for the emperor not to know this, but he still rewarded Meng Jiao generously. In the eyes of interested people, this was a sign that the empress dowager and the emperor were at odds with their mother and son.

"The Queen Mother is strong and wants to control the Emperor. The Emperor has been in charge for many years and is no longer the child she once controlled. With such a confrontation between the two, I don't know who will get the advantage. It is probably the Princess of Nankang and the King of Nankang."

The discord between the Queen Mother and the Emperor and her son will inevitably lead to many disturbances.

And these turmoils will definitely give political opponents an advantage. The only people the Queen Mother and the Emperor need to be on guard against now are the Princess of Nankang and the King of Nankang.

"The young lady has seen clearly that the snipe and the clam quarreled, and the fisherman benefited. But she doesn't know how big the rift between the Queen Mother and the Emperor is? What is the source of this rift?"

Nanny Lin didn't know, but Meng Jiao had some guesses.

The rift between the two people must be related to Xue Wan's death and the Xue family's defeat.

Even if it's not the source of the cracks, it's not that far off.

"Royal secrets, let's not discuss it openly here? It doesn't have much to do with us now? If it does in the future, we can just dig deeper. Today is the twenty-eighth? Excuse me, mama.

Go down and get ready? Go back to Meng's house and have a look."

The Meng family had sent someone to deliver a letter a long time ago. Meng Jiao confirmed that she would not be celebrating the New Year at home. In order to look good, Meng Zhongting asked someone to prepare a big banquet today early? Quan Zuo is a family during the New Year.

The reunion was over.

Meng Jiao originally planned to take Meng Yuan and Liu Shaoyue back together? It was considered a family gathering, after all, they were both daughters of the Meng family.

But who knew? Liu Shaoyue refused and said she wanted to avoid suspicion? Meng Yuan simply said not to go. Meng Jiao had no choice and did not want to force the two of them, so she left Cuijin Cuixi to take care of her at the house and took Lin with her.

Mammy and Cuixiu returned to the Meng family with the royal gift of a carriage.

Usually Liu Qingqing was waiting at the door, but suddenly it was Taoxing, and Meng Jiao was still a little uncomfortable.

"I would like to send my greetings to my little madam. May you be safe, my dear madam."

"Sanniang, please get up. I haven't seen you for a long time. Sanniang's complexion is getting better and better."

Taoxing smiled along with Meng Jiao, both of them knew very well that without Liu Qingqing, Taoxing would naturally look better when she was happy, and Meng Jiao had finally got rid of a piece of her heartache.

"I should have sent a message to the little madam early, but there was some trouble at home recently, so I had no choice but to be a few days late."

The little trouble Taoxing was talking about happened to be the people Meng Jiao cared about the most.

Liu Qingqing's brother and sister-in-law came to the Meng family day and night after hearing that their money-spinner sister had died in the capital.

"The Liu family has been here for a few days. The master has taken great pains and made excuses to hide out every day. Today, when the young lady comes back, the master should be back a few days early."

"They are making endless noises here, which makes it difficult for you. You have to take care of both sides."

Meng Jiao comforted Taoxing softly, but the latter didn't feel it was hard. After all, this was the Gao Zhier she chose. No matter how tired or painful she was, she could only swallow it by herself.

However, his words still revealed his displeasure and impatience towards the couple.

After all, although I am a guest from afar, I am still just a guest. Making such noise is really not the way to be a guest.

Following Meng Jiao's instructions, Taoxing took her to the courtyard where the Liu family and his wife lived temporarily. There were two maids standing at the door. When they saw Taoxing coming over, they felt like they were seeing a savior.

"Madam! Madam, you are here now. Those two inside are starting to get into trouble again!"

Taoxing's expression changed after hearing this, and she quickly walked in without caring that Meng Jiao was still following her.

Sure enough, the yard was already in a mess.

Liu Wei and his wife Wang were performing "Uprooting a Weeping Willow", and the tragic old tree in the yard was destroyed in the hands of the couple.

"It's no wonder that I have a sister like Liu Qingqing, but it turns out that my brother and sister-in-law both have the same virtues. It's true that birds of a feather flock together."

Before Taoxing could speak, Meng Jiao spoke up first.

Nanny Lin, who was following behind, was a little surprised. Meng Jiao's sarcastic and mean look was not only rare, it was basically unique.

The Liu family couple were used to being noisy and domineering in the past two days. When they heard someone being so sarcastic, they were naturally furious. Liu Wei wanted to get in front of Meng Jiao with all his teeth and claws, but before he could come over, he was

Several boys brought by Taoxing were pinned to the ground.

"Bold! How dare you be so bold in front of the young lady!"

"What the eldest lady and the little madam! I deny it! I already know that my sister died in your Meng family! You must give me an explanation! Otherwise, I will make you walk around without food!"

Meng Jiao looked at Liu Wei, who was kneeling on the ground and was still talking harshly, and then looked at Wang, who was frightened but still looked like a shrew, and slightly raised the corners of her lips.

"You want an explanation? Why don't you go directly to the Criminal Division and file a complaint? There is Mr. Qingtian there. If you have any grievances, he will naturally interrogate you and find out."

Meng Jiao said something about punishment, and Liu Wei's fat body trembled visibly.

Taoxing finally understood. It turned out that it was not that these two people did not know that Liu Qingqing had committed a crime and was executed. On the contrary, it was precisely because they knew that they did not dare to file a complaint with the criminal department first and came directly to the Meng family.

Splash.

Mrs. Wang, who was frightened over there, now regained her composure. Seeing that her husband was frightened by such a little girl, her eyebrows stood up in anger. She broke away from the restraints of the little maids on both sides and rushed over directly.

Meng Jiao is in front of her.

"Don't think that because we are from a small family, we don't know the dirty deeds of your big families! You must be familiar with the yamen in the capital. If we go there, we may not be able to survive!"

Suddenly looking back.

Leave people's hearts in autumn.

Seeing the autumn wind in Luoyang City, I want to write a book full of ideas.
Chapter completed!
