"Master, what are you doing? What did Qi'er do wrong that made you call for punishment like this?" Mrs. Meng couldn't see Meng Tianqi being harshly criticized again, so she spoke up to defend her.
Mr. Meng ignored Mrs. Meng, stood up and walked directly in front of Meng Tianqi, "Take it out." His voice was low, but he was already furious. Xu Ruoshui leaned towards Meng Tianbo, instinctively looking for someone to rely on.
"Here, my child, just give it to you," Meng Tianqi obviously didn't expect Master Meng to be so serious about asking for something from him, so he took it out from the lapel of his clothes and offered it with both hands.
Mr. Meng opened the cloth bag on the table, took out the hairpin from it, and compared the two things carefully. After a long time, he put down the two things and asked Meng Tianqi, "Where did you get this bracelet?"
?”
It was impossible for Meng Tianqi to say that he had cut it off from the skeleton. He glanced at Mrs. Meng and replied, "Dad, why do you bother so much for a bracelet? You can easily buy such a thing in a street store."
of."
In fact, this was not the case. Two years ago, Mrs. Meng was sorting out Xu Ruoshui's betrothal gift. Meng Tianqi accidentally discovered that there was a pair of treasures in it, so he asked for it and gave it to Bai Meilan.
"What are you talking about? You can buy some small ones on the street? Then buy the right ones for me and come over and take a look!"
Faced with Mr. Meng's questioning, Meng Tianqi pretended to be stupid and said, "Whether you believe it or not, Dad, my son bought the bracelet anyway."
Xu Ruoshui didn't know why Mr. Meng was so obsessed with the origin of the bracelet and hairpin, but he just felt that he was more interested in such things than he originally expected.
"Madam, you must be familiar with this, right?" Mr. Meng turned to Mrs. Meng and asked.
"I, I don't know why the master is asking you like this." Mrs. Meng was also extremely confused. It was just an ordinary piece of jewelry, how could it be so strange?
"Okay, very good. You two are not going to take me seriously today. In this case, I have nothing to say. Tianqi, please don't interfere in business matters from now on. Madam, you can just enjoy it in peace."
In his later years." Mr. Meng had a headache and only rubbed his temples.
Xu Ruoshui and the two were shocked, why on earth was this?
Mrs. Meng even jumped up from her chair, "Master, are you so stupid that you abandoned me and Qier just for this little thing? There is a charge for beheading, don't you?
Make it clear and I will ask my father and brother to make the decision for me."
"Okay, go and invite your father-in-law and uncle over. I'd like to ask how they can have such a daughter and sister who tell lies." Mr. Meng didn't have a trace of fear. He was a businessman.
, are still afraid of these.
"Are you telling lies with your eyes open?" Mrs. Meng pointed back at herself, "I dare to swear to God that I don't recognize this jewelry. If you tell any lies, I will be beaten by God..."
"Mother," Meng Tianqi hurriedly covered Mrs. Meng's mouth, "Why did you make such a vicious oath?"
"Son, mother, don't live anymore. Look at what your father did to mother. If mother doesn't prove her innocence, what's the point of living?" Mrs. Meng cried, as if the louder her voice, the more people would believe her.
of.
"Dad~~~" Meng Tianqi hugged Mrs. Meng and said to Mr. Meng, "Even if this matter is my son's fault, you don't need to involve your mother. You can just let your son punish you."
"Hahaha..." Mr. Meng looked at Mrs. Meng who was dying, and for some reason he laughed so miserably, "Brother Xu, I, Meng Zhanyuan, can't help you. I wasted your time."
I should have repaid you with great kindness by sacrificing my life to save you, but Meng is incompetent~~"
When Xu Ruoshui heard Mr. Meng mentioning 'Brother Xu', her heart clenched and she held Meng Tianbo's hand tightly. She was the only one who knew that this Brother Xu was her father, but why was her father involved?
go.
"Madam," Mr. Meng calmed down a little and said, pointing to the bracelet and hairpin, "take a good look at these two things. They were the tokens of the engagement between Mr. Xu and our family. I personally handed them to you back then.
I asked you to give it to the kid Ruoshui. Today I want to ask you, how do you keep these two things?"
Xu Ruoshui almost couldn't stand, but fortunately Meng Tianbo pulled her in time and looked at her inquiringly, her eyes sparkling with water.
Mrs. Meng's legs went weak and she sat on the ground. After being reminded like this, she remembered that she was planning to hire someone from the Xu family two years ago. She did everything Master Meng personally told her.
But when Meng Tianqi saw the pair of jewelry while packing them away, he asked for them.
"Mom, please give this thing to your son. It would be a big loss to give such a good thing to that woman of the Xu family."
Mrs. Meng took a look and asked, "What do you want this for?"
"Don't ask this mother, why are you reluctant to give to your son if he likes you?"
"Okay, okay, if you want it, just take it. Don't say I gave it to you," Mrs. Meng confessed. She only remembered that this jewelry was ordered by Master Meng as a betrothal gift.
Meng Tianqi happily took the colorful gemstone hairpin and bracelet and gave them to Bai Meilan. Naturally, neither Mr. Meng nor Mrs. Meng knew about this.
"Madam, have you remembered everything?" Mr. Meng said with his eyes widened, "You actually gave away the betrothal gift between me and the Xu family indiscriminately. How can I see Mr. Xu after I die?
.Aren’t you doing this to trap me and be unkind and unjust?”
"I don't have one," Mrs. Meng shook her head and crawled to Mr. Meng's side, because she was afraid that Mr. Meng's angry words just now would be taken seriously.
"I have been busy working for a living all day long, and I have left the entire house to your care, Madam, but I have thought of so many things. The death of the child Ruoshui made me feel guilty and uneasy, and now I find Bai Meilan dead in the well of Wangmei Garden.
My two daughters-in-law died one after another, how can I trust you and leave the whole house to you?" Mr. Meng revealed the fact that the skeleton was Bai Meilan, and Xu Ruoshui noticed that Mrs. Meng and Meng Tianqi were a little panicked.
"Dad, you said the skeleton belongs to Mei Lan?" Meng Tianqi didn't realize that he was shouting very affectionately.
"What did you say?" Master Meng asked in disbelief.
Meng Tianqi lowered his head and said nonchalantly, "Did my son ask that the skeleton is from his ex-sister-in-law?" His tone was less surprised, because he already knew it from the beginning when he secretly took the bracelet.
Mr. Meng deeply admired his son. He couldn't believe some things, but he always wanted to ask clearly, "Tianqi, let me ask you, did you give this jewelry to Bai Meilan?"
"How, how could...?" Meng Tianqi became hesitant, "I don't think she stole his son's things."
