The aunt felt a little regretful, but she still said it, "Back then, only three of you, your father, me, and your aunt escaped from the palace. After that, we kept our names anonymous. I married your father-in-law and gave birth to Bo'er.
Later, your father got married to a girl from an ordinary family in the city. Your mother died in childbirth when she was giving birth to you. In order to restore our Wulanluo tribe, your father cruelly gave you away and did not marry us until his death.
Let’s talk about this.”
Xu Ruoshui had mixed feelings after hearing this. Wan Qiu's life experience was actually like this. No one would have guessed that such a dull Wan Qiu would have such a rough life experience.
"Wan Qiu, are you okay?" Meng Tianbo asked distressedly. She didn't say a word, which made people look worried.
"I'm fine," Xu Ruoshui raised his head, with tears shining in his eyes, "It turns out I still have relatives." This sentence came from the heart. Xu Ruoshui also had uncles, aunts and cousins, but they were not the same.
None of them came to Meng's house to inquire about his death; in late autumn, after more than ten years of loneliness, there was actually an aunt, "aunt." The unfamiliar title was full of family-like feeling.
"Good boy, don't blame your aunt for not looking for you or visiting you for so many years. It's my aunt..." Sally covered her face. Only her aunt knew what kind of life she had lived these years.
A disfigured woman can only hide herself from feeling that she is an ugly person. After hiding for more than ten or twenty years, she is the one who suffers the most.
"Can they get out? What's the point of leaving us waiting like this?" Mrs. Meng's voice shouted from outside the curtain.
"Bo'er, let's go out, some things should be resolved," the aunt said with an 'ouch', and stood up. She had endured it for so many years, and finally it was time to straighten her back.
Sally covered her face again and said to Xu Ruoshui, "My child, you should cultivate yourself first. Let's go out and take a look."
How could Xu Ruoshui be willing? She gritted her teeth and got off the bed and said stubbornly, "I want to go too." She wanted to see how the snake-hearted Mrs. Meng could defend herself?
The concubine nodded. Fortunately, Xu Ruoshui could still walk on her own, with Sally still supporting her. She raised the curtain and went out. In the flower hall, Mrs. Meng and Mr. Meng sat at the top, and Meng Tianqi sat absentmindedly at the bottom right.
, "Why are you so slow? Could it be that someone died?"
Master Meng glanced at him dissatisfied. At the same time, Mrs. Meng's eyes also glanced at the few people coming out of the room. Xu Ruoshui's appearance shocked her. For a moment, she looked like a fairy.
The aunt sat opposite Meng Tianqi. There was no place for Xu Ruoshui to sit, but the aunt let her sit next to her. Meng Tianbo sat under Meng Tianqi, opposite Xu Ruoshui.
As soon as everyone gathered together, Mr. Meng spoke up, "Old Wang, go and invite the three shopkeepers to come over."
Manager Wang responded, and soon the three shopkeepers walked in with solemn expressions. Manager Wang served them a cup of tea, and all three of them sat down without refusing.
"It was my fault, Meng, for not giving an explanation to the three of you last night. Today I apologized to the three of you. If you have anything to say openly, it is our Meng family's fault. We will not refuse, but in
Before that, I have something to tell you." Everyone listened attentively to Master Meng's words, "Mr. Meng has worked hard all his life, and today he will hand over the property in the mansion to my son Tianbo to take care of it.
I hope everyone can show their respect in the future."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
"I don't agree," Meng Tianqi objected before Mrs. Meng, "Why is he, a fool, robbing me of my things?" He had not yet realized Meng Tianbo's normal appearance.
"Even if he is not a fool, he cannot take over the family business in the mansion," Mrs. Meng hurriedly helped, "There is a difference between concubine and concubine. I must not forget it. Even if Bo'er is awake, he cannot cross this hurdle."
The three shopkeepers looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to say. Finally, shopkeeper Wang spoke, "Mr. Meng, who should we approach to argue this matter? Who should we approach for compensation?"
When Mrs. Meng heard that what happened last night was not settled yet, and whoever intervened in this matter now would be in trouble, she signaled to her son and said, "Otherwise, I will listen to your father's arrangements first." Mrs. Meng thought about whether this was Mr. Meng's strategy.
, it’s not easy to shame Meng Tianqi in front of others, how could she know that Mr. Meng is determined.
Meng Tianqi watched proudly how Meng Tianbo dealt with this mess.
"Everyone," Meng Tianbo clasped his fists in salute, "have you brought your account books?"
Of course, Shopkeeper Wang took out a stack of ledgers, which contained the money that Meng Tianqi had raised from the boss of the shop. After a rough calculation, it was about more than one hundred thousand taels. If Meng Tianqi had promised everyone before, one hundred thousand taels of silver would buy the Western Regions.
If you sell the goods, you can make double the profit by then.
But in the end, Meng Tianqi didn't take out anything, the money was gone, and the goods were not seen.
"Today we won't embarrass Young Master Meng too much." Shopkeeper Wang was not aggressive, but wanted to make a big deal out of a trivial matter. "We just need to return all the money to other people, and that will be the end of it."
Already."
Mr. Meng was very pleasantly surprised that the matter was settled so easily, but he was also worried that there might be some fraud involved. Yesterday it was fierce, but today it is settled?
"Brother Wang, are you serious about what you said?"
"Of course," Shopkeeper Wang said boldly, "We just need to get our capital back, otherwise we won't be able to pay for the goods on the counter to others."
Master Meng was puzzled, but Meng Tianbo gave him a reassuring look, and he sat down uneasily.
Xu Ruoshui guessed that Meng Tianbo had already made preparations, otherwise he would not be so calm and confident.
The shopkeepers' requests were so simple that both Mrs. Meng and Meng Tianqi were dumbfounded.
In fact, they didn't know that Meng Tianbo had already distributed the goods that had come from the Western Regions to the shopkeepers overnight, and promised to collect the money again in a month, so that they could make a living with peace of mind. As for the capital, Meng Tianbo naturally found a way to let Meng Tianqi
When he vomited it out, he thought that what he had done was unnoticed and that Meng Tianqi had already monitored him.
"Give me ten days and I will give you the money with both hands." Meng Tianbo promised.
"Since Mr. Meng has given all the business to Young Master Meng, we don't mind waiting for ten more days," the three of them got up one after another and went back to look at the store.
Seeing that the matter was resolved so quickly, Mr. Meng hurriedly said goodbye, got up and personally sent the three shopkeepers out. When he came back, he praised Meng Tianbo in front of everyone, "Bo'er is still amazing, he managed it without any effort."
I helped this father settle the matter, but..." Mr. Meng stopped, because Meng Tianqi was unconvinced. He stood up suddenly and said to Mr. Meng, "Who can't do this little trick?"
