Chapter 140 Powerful Minister [09]
After scolding Yuan Jia with the same hatred of the enemy, the emperor felt more pleasing to Meng Chuan and his tone became gentler and closer: "Meng Chuan, although Meng Yuanjia has different opinions, it also proves that he does not dare to treat you harshly on the surface. As long as you still recognize the kindness of Zhenbei Duke Mansion, you can come to the door openly and tie yourself up with Zhenbei Duke Mansion. You just said that you came to visit your adoptive mother, and Meng Yuanjia definitely did not dare to drive you out directly, otherwise the public opinion of outsiders would be enough for him..."
The emperor encouraged Meng Zhi to go back to Zhenbei Gongfu to cause trouble, so he wanted to go back, but due to Meng Yuanjia and his own self-esteem, Meng Zhi walked down the donkey. He looked suddenly and said gratefully: "Thank you for your advice, the grass people will do whatever they want."
He did not return because he was greedy for the wealth of Zhenbei Gong Mansion. He was just thinking about his adoptive mother, but he just returned to Zhenbei Gong Mansion according to the emperor's will.
In fact, it was just like the emperor now knowing that Yuan Jia might be rebelling, but he could not do what he should do with him on the surface. Meng Chu returned to Zhenbei Gong Mansion on the grounds of repaying the raising of grace and thinking of his adoptive mother. As long as Yuan Jia still needs a reputation, it is impossible for him to openly drive Meng Chu out. Instead, he also praised his behavior of not forgetting to raising of grace.
Because Meng Chu's identity represents the personal guards of Zhenbei Duke Mansion, if Meng Chu did not make any principled mistakes, he should be abandoned by Zhenbei Duke Mansion, and Zhenbei Duke Mansion cannot keep him out.
Otherwise, it will make the guards feel heartbroken.
The emperor also saw this and felt that Meng Xi was of great value. He went out of the palace to see him in person and brought him into his own camp.
Meng Chu, a chess piece that was resentful to Meng Yuanjia, was hidden in Zhenbei Gong Mansion. Just wait for a suitable opportunity to use this piece to give Meng Yuanjia a fatal blow.
The emperor consciously planned perfectly and thought happily about what to do after he caught Meng Yuanjia to relieve his hatred.
Meng Chu also thought he was smart and clever to hold the emperor's thigh. What can Meng Yuanjia do to him? He also had a happy fantasy about the scene where Meng Yuanjia inherited the Duke of Zhenbei in the future.
These two people have the best ability to make up for their dreams and have reached a consensus on dealing with Yuan Jia.
In order to monitor Meng Chu, the emperor specially sent him some people in the name of helping him, asking Meng Chu to take these people into Zhenbei Gongfu as slaves to serve him. The emperor also used Meng Chufu's hand to put a spy on Zhenbei Gongfu again.
In the past, all the eyeliners placed by the emperor in Zhenbei Gongfu were cleaned up by Yuan Jia, and the management of the whole mansion was so difficult that it could not be poured into it. It would be difficult to insert people into it.
This time, I took advantage of Meng Chu to bring people in, which was a good opportunity.
Meng Zhi was also happy that the emperor gave it to others for nothing. Anyway, he did not plan to betray the emperor, so he used the emperor's manpower and did not have any psychological pressure.
After the staff were in place, Meng Chuan took a servant to Zhenbeigong Mansion.
"Please report it, and then say that Meng Chu came to pay homage to his wife."
Meng Chuan even gave a visitor seriously.
After receiving Meng Chuan’s greeting, Yan couldn’t help but immediately bring Meng Chuan in.
When Meng Chuan saw Yan, he knelt down to her with excitement and said in tears: "Son pays homage to mother! The child has not paid homage to mother for the past few months, and he has not come yet. I hope that mother will forgive her for her crime!"
Seeing Meng Zhi's expression in this way, Yan couldn't help but step forward and help him up in person, and said with tears in his eyes: "Good child, if you can come back to see me, your mother will be very satisfied."
<<<<<<
When Yuanjia returned to his residence, he heard from the butler that Meng Chu had come to the mansion to see Yan's family today, and now he is still left in the mansion by Yan.
Yuan Jia's face was calm and without any surprise. He had never relaxed surveillance about Meng Chu, so he could not hide anything Meng Chu saw and did.
He went to change his clothes, and then went to the old lady's yard to pay her respects: "Grandma!"
When the old lady saw Yuan Jia, she smiled and cared for him in a gentle tone, and then mentioned Meng Chu: "Your mother is soft-hearted and raised Meng Chu, and she will inevitably be blinded by Meng Chu. I will mention your mother's."
Yuan Jia smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble my grandmother."
In fact, the one who sees Meng Chu the most clearly in the entire Zhenbei Gong Mansion is the old lady in front of her, because she has no deep feelings for Meng Chu. Bystanders are clear and will not be influenced by feelings, so she can naturally make the decision that is most beneficial to Zhenbei Gong Mansion.
Yan raised Meng Chuan as a parent-child for more than ten years, and he gave so much affection. How could he say that he could easily get out of his body?
So Yuan Jia did not blame Yan for keeping Meng Zu. This is human nature.
Yuan Jia said: "Grandma, now our Zhenbei Gong Mansion seems to be incredible, but it is like cooking oil in a fire. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. So I hope my grandmother will help my grandson..." Then he lowered his voice and leaned into the old lady's ear and whispered a few words.
The old lady's face changed slightly as Yuan Jia whispered, and then nodded.
After Yuan Jia gave the old lady a favor, he went to pay tribute to Yan.
He met Meng Zui from Yan's family.
Meng Zun looked a little panicked when he saw him, and subconsciously stood up.
Yuan Jia walked over with a smile, patted his shoulders with his brother, and said gently: "How did the third brother come to the door? Although you have already recognized your ancestors, our Zhenbei Gongfu has raised you for more than ten years. You can't draw a clear line with us. You only recognize your kindness but not your kindness, right? It's said that raising your kindness is greater than your kindness. Why does it become more important to be born with your third brother?"
Meng Chu quickly explained: "No, second brother, I just delayed the time and couldn't come to visit you, grandmother, mother and second brother, aren't I here now?"
Yuan Jia smiled and said, "Are you worried that your biological mother will know that you still adopt your adoptive mother?"
Meng Chu defended: "I'm not..."
Yuan Jia said in a very considerate tone: "It's okay, I can understand. You used to recognize your biological mother and were afraid of being known to your mother. Now that you are back home, it is understandable that you are afraid of being known to your biological mother."
Meng Chuan: "..." He really wanted to grab Meng Yuanjia's collar and ask him if he could understand people's words?
Anyway, Yuan Jia defined Meng Chu's behavior of visiting Yan's family in the tone of "I can understand you, I can understand you, I know it's not easy for you, I know it's very difficult for you to get stuck in the middle" as a secretly coming to visit Yan's family with his biological mother Lin's family, just like when he was the third young master of Zhenbei Gongfu, he secretly went to visit Lin's family with his back.
Yan, who was standing beside him, felt so sad. Although he could understand the child’s embarrassment, he was unacceptable emotionally!
When Meng Chu secretly recognized Lin, Yan's heart was thorny. Now Meng Chu had to come to visit her, her adoptive mother, and she had to come secretly with Lin's back. The thorn in her heart was thorny deeper.
<<<<<<
Meng Zu was so upset by Yuan Jia's words that he knew that if he stayed and heard Yuan Jia keep talking, he would probably lose all his good feelings in front of Yan.
So Meng Chuan, who originally planned to stay and have dinner with Yan, said goodbye in advance: "Mother, second brother, it's getting late, so I'll go back first."
Yuan Jia took the lead in trying to stay and said, "It's rare for the third brother to come once, so I'd better stay here and have dinner together. My grandmother missed her third brother very much!"
Yan nodded and advised, "Yes, it's dinner time soon. You stay and have dinner together. How can you walk on hungry?"
Meng Chu hesitated whether to agree. He always felt that Yuan Jia was so enthusiastic about trying to keep him, and there was a conspiracy!
"Forget it, after all, I have already recognized my ancestors and are no longer the third young master of Zhenbei Gongfu. It would be embarrassing to stay." Meng Chuan smiled bitterly, which made Yan feel distressed.
Seeing this, Yuan Jia suddenly said, "Yes, your biological mother is still waiting for your family to reunite. If you didn't go home for meals tonight, your biological mother would know that you came to our house today... You'd better go back."
Yan, who originally wanted to say, "Even if you recognize your ancestors, you will always be my son." When he said that, he was stuck there and couldn't say it.
Her eyes darkened and she sighed in her heart. This is not her biological son, and her biological mother is still alive. Can she really take it away?
So Yan said to Meng Zhi: "Then be careful on the way. If your mother doesn't want you to contact us, don't come again in the future."
Meng Chu's expression was a little stiff. He was here in Zhenbei Gongfu today to try to arouse Yan's favor for him. It was progressing very well, so why did Meng Yuanjia, a sinister guy, say Yan so much that he didn't want to see him again in just a few words?
Meng Zhi secretly despised Yan's hypocritical feelings in his heart. He thought Yan's tears were sincere, but he didn't pretend to be!
But he didn't know that it was because Yan loved him in his heart that he couldn't bear to see him in a difficult situation between his biological mother and adoptive mother, so he endured the bitterness and told him not to come again.
Meng Zhi couldn't understand Yan's kind mother's heart, but instead speculated about her with malicious intentions. His self-esteem made him feel a little dissatisfied: "Since the lady doesn't want to see me, I won't come in the future."
He bowed to Yan and Yuan Jia with great backbone, and left two words coldly: "Goodbye!" and then turned around and left.
Seeing Meng Zhi leave with anger, Yan was shocked and quickly wanted to chase him out, but was stopped by Yuan Jia: "Mother, if you really love Meng Zhi, don't see him often. Otherwise, if Meng Zhi is separated from his biological mother, how could he feel better? Maybe he will also blame you for sowing the relationship between their mother and son."
Yan murmured: "I didn't want to provoke their relationship. I just raised my son for more than ten years, why can't I see you?"
Yuan Jia 'reasoned' with Yan: "Mother, think about it, Meng Chu's biological mother later gave birth to three sons and one daughter. You also know that the relationship between mother and son has been together for a long time. Compared with his four younger siblings, Meng Chu is far less in love with Lin. If Lin knew that Meng Chu was still thinking about you, would she think that Meng Chu was not well-off and only adopted mother but not her biological mother?"
Yan thought from the perspective of others, felt that his son was right, and sighed, "Then, I will never see you in the future."
In order to get her adopted son well, she had to act unkind and cold, push her adopted son to his biological mother and let them reunite, rather than having a rift because of her adopted mother.
