"The master and his wife are here!" Xiangluo was watching the little girls working and eating melon seeds in the corridor. When she saw the master of the house coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Now, because of the young lady, she and Ling Xiao are looked down upon by everyone in this house.
Who would have thought that Uncle Anze and Meng Cheng were far less friendly today than in the past, with a tense face and no attention to her at all.
Mrs. Yin's expression was also ugly, and she said: "Kick out all the irrelevant people, and you and Ling Xiao come into the house!"
Xiangluo didn't know what was going on, so she responded with a trembling voice and drove out all the rough servants in the courtyard.
The half handful of uneaten melon seeds were also hurriedly thrown into the flower bed.
When she came in, she saw the second lady standing there in shock and confusion.
"Tell me clearly!" Meng Chengyuan held his breath and stared at Meng Qiao as if he were a feud, "What on earth is going on between you and that guy named Zuo?!"
"My daughter doesn't know who her father is talking about, who is named Zuo?" Meng Qiao was already in a state of panic, but she still had to pretend to be ignorant and innocent, "What's going on?"
"Just now the housekeeper of Yongxian County Prince's Palace came to cancel the engagement." Ms. Yin covered her chest. This incident was like the sky falling for them. "Of course we have to ask what the reason is, but they just
Leave a message and ask us to ask you what you and Zuo Zhengqing did. Now that things have happened, you must tell us the truth. If you continue to hide the truth and refuse to tell the truth, it will be an even worse crime.
."
Of course Ms. Yin was angry, but more importantly she was confused. She had already asked her confidants to go outside to inquire, wondering if they could find out.
But she knew that the inside story of this matter could not be sealed, and she would find out sooner or later.
And the Prince of Yongxian County must have known the inside story in advance, so he came to cancel the engagement.
Meng Qiao naturally thought of everything she could think of.
But how could she admit it easily?
She and Zuo Zhengqing used each other to get what they needed.
There were only two of them present at that time, how could outsiders know?
So he shook his head and said: "I really don't know what's going on. I did see Mr. Zuo for a photoshoot, but it was just a photoshoot. I never saw him again before and after that. How can I still get back with him?"
What's the connection?"
"You still haven't told the truth!" Meng Chengyuan was very angry, stood up and slapped Meng Qiao in the face.
Meng Qiao was beaten so hard that she fell to the ground. Her injuries were not healed yet, not to mention that Meng Chengyuan had used all his strength.
Ling Xiao and Xiang Luo hurriedly stepped forward to help Meng Qiao, but they did not dare to say a word because of the master's rage.
"If you had nothing to do, would people come to cancel the engagement?!" Meng Chengyuan pointed at Meng Qiao and scolded, "You must have done some disgraceful deeds and let people get the handle. You are still trying to deceive me now.
We really deserve to die!"
"My daughter is innocent, I swear to God!" Meng Qiao made up her mind. Even if someone knew about the affair between her and Zuo Zhengqing, more than a year had passed before the incident was revealed. She
She will fight to death to see who can do to her.
Seeing her like this, Meng Chengyuan couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
After all, he doesn't want to believe that his daughter has done something shameful. What's more, he still doesn't know what happened.
"Hold the second lady up and let her go to bed to rest." Ms. Yin thought for a while and said.
"Sir, madam, I will never do anything to disgrace my family." Meng Qiao cried and said, "As for why the Zeng family broke off the engagement, I guess someone must be jealous of the marriage, so they deliberately discredited me."
"What you said makes some sense, but who harmed you?" Meng Chengyuan asked her.
"It's not easy for me to slander others out of thin air, but it's possible for Cen Yunchu to say nothing of it. I had a fortune teller with her, and the results were very different. Since then, she has always looked down on me. I've heard people say that before.
She is interested in Mr. Zeng, but I have never taken it to heart." Meng Qiao said, "There is no guarantee that she will not cause trouble behind his back."
Meng Qiao is a very scheming person, and she always acts virtuous and virtuous, but most people can't see her true face clearly.
When she said this, the Meng family believed her 60-70%.
Yin said: "In this case, let's inquire carefully. If someone really wronged us, we will never bear it."
"That's right!" Meng Chengyuan slapped the table and said, "No matter who he is, he dares to plot against us like this. I must be clear with him!"
"Master and madam, please don't move. It's true that those who are clean will be cleansed themselves. My daughter is not afraid of confronting them." Meng Qiao advised.
When she said this, the two people believed her more and more.
After Meng Chengyuan and his wife left, Meng Qiao called Ling Xiao over: "Go outside and find out what's going on. Come back and tell me."
She wanted to know how far things had progressed as soon as possible so that she could take advantage of the situation.
If only the Zeng family got the news, it was probably Cen Yunchu who told it.
In this case, she would refuse to admit her fault and pour a bucket of dirty water on Cen Yunchu.
The only thing that was difficult to handle here was that if the Zeng family asked for a physical examination, she would not be able to get through.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. She always believes that everything depends on man-made efforts.
The people sent by the Yin family first inquired about the news and came back to report, saying: "There are rumors everywhere on the street that Zuo Zhengqing has been detained by people from the Ministry of Punishment. He personally admitted... admitted..."
"Speak clearly now! Or I'll cut off your tongue!" Meng Chengyuan was furious.
The servant was trembling with fright: "It is said that our second lady exchanged her chastity with him for a good fortune. I was afraid that the rumor was inaccurate, so I asked someone from the Criminal Department to ask.
They said that the sixth son of the Chen family, the prince of the county prince's house, and others heard what Zuo Zhengqing said with their own ears that day. Now they are on trial. Zuo Zhengqing was afraid of being punished, so he confessed everything happily.
He said that not only our second young lady, but also several others who were married, had devoted themselves to him."
When Meng Chengyuan heard this, his head roared, stars jumped in front of his eyes, and he fell to the ground.
"Master! Master!" Mrs. Yin was shocked. She rushed over to help him up, and called to the servants, "hurry and call the doctor!"
At this time, Ling Xiao covered his face with his sleeves on the street and walked quickly against the wall.
She almost didn't need to ask, everyone was talking about it on the street.
As Meng Qiao's personal maid, she didn't even know that her own lady had such an experience.
When I first went to Zuo Zhengqing's place to have his fortune taken, his servants were not allowed to follow him, so they all waited at the back door.
Now that I think about it carefully, the second young lady was indeed a little unusual when she came out that day.
Now it seems that the slightly messy sideburns and the heavily tied belt are clearly...
But they didn't care about it at that time, they were just happy.
