"Slave... I really know you." Madam Hu said with certainty, but Meng Tianbo's frightening and cold eyes aroused her. After she finished speaking, she added, "Slave, please go down first."
Xu Ruoshui stood up, looked at Meng Tianbo and said, "You know this at all, right?"
"I don't understand what you mean."
"You know," Xu Ruoshui didn't let him dodge and followed his eyes and said, "You will know when you wake up. You know what happened between Bai Meilan and Tianqi, so you turned a blind eye to her disappearance.
I wonder, are all your Meng family brothers ruthless? Now think about it together, you are not willing to mention him at all because she is related to Tianqi."
"Have you finished speaking?" Meng Tianbo turned around. He showed no mercy this time. He pinched Xu Ruoshui's thin neck with his broad palms and pushed her to the corner. "I asked you to stop talking. Didn't you hear me? Why did you do that?
To mention her, wouldn't it be better if she disappeared?"
Xu Ruoshui knew that she had forced out the hatred in his heart, and laughed twice, but it made him tighten his gestures, "Why are you laughing?"
"I laughed at you for being as timid as a mouse, I laughed at you for deceiving yourself, and I laughed at you..." Xu Ruoshui's throat was so tight that she couldn't speak, and tears rolled down her face.
"Are you crying again? Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Meng Tianbo said contemptuously, "I really want to know why you are so inquisitive. Is it also for Tianqi?"
Xu Ruoshui was shocked, he actually discovered it!
Fortunately, he was just suspicious, so she said calmly, "I am just a house filler, so naturally I want to know about your first wife. If someone harms her because she is the eldest mistress, should I be more vigilant? I can
I don’t want to disappear inexplicably.”
The twinkling light in her eyes made Meng Tianbo look sideways, his heart softened, and he let her go.
"Cough cough cough..." Xu Ruoshui gasped, "I don't want to die at a young age. Can the young master accept this reason?"
"Humph!" Meng Tianbo threw the curtain away without even looking at Xu Ruoshui. He was so soft-hearted. It was really abominable. After he woke up, he vowed to be hard-hearted, but he couldn't do it with this woman! She
On the surface, he is weak, but he does everything with a low eyebrow and is submissive, but deep down he is stubborn as hell.
In fact, Mrs. Hu never left outside. When she saw Meng Tianbo go out, she entered the inner room again. Seeing Xu Ruoshui slumped on the ground, she called out, "My eldest mistress, are you okay?"
Xu Ruoshui took out her handkerchief, wiped her tears, and said, "I'm fine. Mom, let's go out and do some work." There was still pain in his throat. He had struck too hard. How much resentment did he have to have such hatred?
"Young Master, please don't blame me for talking too much. After the Young Master woke up, he remembered a lot of things. They are all bad memories over the years. Even gods can't do it if you ask him to face them one by one."
Mrs. Hu said.
That innocent Meng Tianbo can never come back. Xu Ruoshui's tears that had just stopped burst out again. One reality he really needs to face may be the murderous hands of his aunt and the persecution of his brothers. This makes people understandable.
Xu Ruoshui was heartbroken after being poisoned, and he couldn't tell whether the tears were shed for him or for himself.
"Mom, I'm really fine. I'll just rest for a while. It's just the young master..." She wanted to know where he would go.
"Xiao Shunzi is following me, don't worry, young lady," Mrs. Hu replied. The concern in Xu Ruoshui's eyes was real to her, and it was really reflected on her face.
Mrs. Hu went out and told Yan'er that she was keeping watch outside the curtain and that she had to do things even if she didn't feel at ease. Moreover, the eldest mistress obviously didn't have much to say to her.
At dinner time, Xu Ruoshui hadn't seen Meng Tianbo come back yet, so she asked Mrs. Hu to leave the food to be heated in the kitchen. She simply took a few mouthfuls of rice and then took off her makeup and freshened up. Her black hair hung down behind her like black satin, and she wore
The man in white shirt looked at the candlelight in a daze.
"Yan'er, call the eldest young lady quickly, the eldest young master is drunk." Xiao Shunzi's anxious voice was heard outside the door. Xu Ruoshui heard it clearly, put on his shoes and went out. The tall Meng Tianbo was drunk and hanging on his body.
The skinny little Xiao Shunzi was so heavy that he could hardly breathe. "Quick, Yan'er, help me." Xu Ruoshui and Yan'er held Tianbo on the left and right, and then Xiao Shunzi let Xiao Shunzi stand.
Breathed a good sigh of relief.
"Xiao Shunzi, come in, I have something else to ask." Xu Ruoshui explained, and after helping Meng Tianbo get on the bed, he asked Yan'er to cook some sobering soup.
After settling down, she sat on the kang and called Xiao Shunzi to talk, "Why did you drink so much wine? Where did you drink?"
"Back to the eldest young mistress, I don't know why the eldest young master drank so much, but I know that the eldest young master is in a bad mood. He went to Xinghua House for a drink today." Xiao Shunzi's words were very reasonable, and he didn't lie again.
nervous.
"Did many people see it on the way back?"
Xiao Shunzi thought about it for a moment and replied, "I met a maid sister on the way and asked if I needed to call the young master. The young master saw that it was already late, so he didn't alert the others."
It seems that a maid who can open her mouth to call her "Xiao Chu" is not as simple as a maid cleaning the house. Xu Ruoshui was worried that Meng Tianbo's drunkenness would arouse suspicion, so he thought about it carefully and said, "Xiao Shunzi, let me ask you, in the outer courtyard.
Dangbi, are you willing to work as an errand beside the eldest young master?"
Xiao Shunzi weighed it up, and naturally knew the benefits of following Meng Tianbo, "I am willing."
"Very good," Xu Ruoshui took out two ingots of silver from the kang table, a total of ten taels, which you can't get even if you bring them to the outer courtyard for a year or two. "These are all yours."
Although Xiao Shunzi wanted the money very much, he did not come forward, nor did he show his greedy face. However, his face was a little serious and he asked, "What do you mean, young lady?"
"Since you are willing to follow the eldest young master, then you have to help the eldest young master do something wrong. You can get away with scolding him lightly, but you will have to suffer the physical pain for the more important ones."
Xiao Shunzi was smart and understood it as soon as he heard it. He stepped forward and put the money into his sleeve and said, "I understand what the eldest mistress means."
Xu Ruoshui was also afraid of just in case. Just imagine, a person who is as stupid as a child and gets drunk is either someone who instigates him or he is not stupid at all.
When Xiao Shunzi went out, he almost bumped into Yan'er. Yan'er shouted at the top of her voice, "If you want to die, you don't have eyes."
"Yan'er," Xu Ruoshui scolded, "he didn't mean it either." After saying that, he asked Xiao Shunzi to go out.
"I've been so reckless all day long. If anyone found out, they would be the eldest mistress." Yan'er was just afraid that Mrs. Hu would look down on Xu Ruoshui.
