Xu Ruoshui started from Mrs. Meng's conservatory. She searched through the cupboards and drawers one by one. Except for some clothes, there were no other precious things. At first glance, there was no place to hide valuables in the flower hall. It was simple.
After looking at it, he went back to the inner room. Naturally, he couldn't let go of the dressing table and cabinets. Apart from the antiques in Mr. Meng's eyes, Xu Ruoshui couldn't see anything good in them.
Then came the big kang. On the cabinet at the end of the kang were items such as brocade quilts. After knocking on it, I didn’t find that the cabinet was hollow. Xu Ruoshui’s forehead was sweating a little. Could it be that Mrs. Meng really
Innocent?
No, knowing that after Meng Tianbo wakes up, she will only intensify her efforts to give money to Meng Tianqi. How could she give up? When Xu Ruo was under the water, her body became unsteady and went limp, but fortunately her hands were stretched out on the kang.
On the bed, her feet were not wet, and the hot bed was as cold as water and there was no warmth at all, which aroused her idea.
I still remember that it was June when the corpse was resurrected, and ice had been put in Mrs. Meng's house early. Now it was almost late autumn, and there was no warmth at all on the kang. Mrs. Meng would not treat her badly.
When Mrs. Meng saw Xu Ruoshui staying in front of the kang, with sweat on her palms, she asked, "Late Qiu, what did you see? What did you find?"
This question was just to divert attention. Xu Ruoshui thought for a while and then said, "Dad, my daughter-in-law didn't find anything, it's just this..."
Meng Tianbo noticed Xu Ruoshui's hesitation and hesitation, saw her eyes rolling on the kang, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Xu Ruoshui ignored other people's concerns and said in Meng Tianbo's ear, "I suspect there is something in this kang. It's a bit strange that no charcoal has been lit at this time."
Meng Tianbo stretched out his hand to explore and found that it was indeed as cold as water, so he said to Mr. Meng, "Dad, please move a step."
Mr. Meng didn't quite understand, but he still got up.
Meng Tianbo moved the kang table, and he and Xu Ruoshui lifted up the whole mattress. What jumped into his eyes was a large piece of cut copper plate. He knocked it a few times and made a muffled sound. Sure enough, it was inside
Something was fishy. Xu Ruoshui pulled a hairpin from her head and handed it over.
When Meng Tianbo wanted to pry open the copper plate, Mrs. Meng pretended to be calm and said, "You unfilial son, do you know what the consequences will be if you open this?"
Mrs. Meng's voice made people startled. Unexpectedly, Meng Tianbo didn't agree with it, and started to pry up the copper plate. Mrs. Meng's whole body twitched with anger, "Such a treacherous son, I...I want to sue the official, the bastard in the family is unfilial."
, disobeying my legitimate mother."
"Bo'er," my aunt stopped me. She had a simple mind and naturally didn't want her son to get involved in such an unfilial lawsuit.
Meng Tianbo didn't pay attention at all. This time, before Mrs. Meng could say anything, he pried it up with all his strength. Xu Ruoshui's hairpin was deformed, which showed the weight of the copper plate.
Meng Tianbo still spent a lot of effort to remove the bright yellow copper plate. It was actually filled with shiny silver coins, neatly coded one by one, so dazzling that people dared not open their eyes and look directly. Xu Ruoshuisong
I breathed a sigh of relief and finally won my bet.
"What are these?" Master Meng asked, pointing to the silver.
"How do I know this~~this~~?" Mrs. Meng prevaricated with a pale face.
Seeing that the amount of money was about 5,000 taels, he said, "This is your house. You have lived in it for nearly twenty years. Don't say that you don't know about the money." Mr. Meng was not so confused.
"Who can say for sure? The master didn't see me putting the money on my body, so I can't conclude that it was me who did it." Mrs. Meng denied it to the end. The money was supposed to be given to Meng Tianqi before, so how could she have expected that she would have a stroke?
, my son is not serious either.
They met in the lower house, so they did not take away the money. With the money, they did not even dare to send carbon into the kang. Only then was the attentive Xu Ruoshui discovered. She had never been allowed to enter this inner room before, and Mrs. Meng was worried.
I'm afraid many people will find out.
"Madam," Mr. Meng said calmly, "I came to ask you nicely, but you don't admit it. Now the evidence is in front of you, and you still want to deny it. I asked you why Tianqi's child became like this. It turned out to be you.
Taught by one hand, he built a house outside, took money from the house to the bank to get interest without my knowledge, and the most important thing is that he broke his promise and lost the principles of being a businessman. Do you feel that you are not responsible for all these? "
"Huh~ Responsibility?" Mrs. Meng was speechless, but she was unwilling to accept it. After a long time, she said angrily, "Master, how many times have you taken care of me? You are devoted to Tianbo, when will you have extra time to discipline Tianqi?
."
"You're blaming me. Tianbo left Xuan'er when he was just over a year old. How could you let this child live if you didn't ask me, the father, to take more care of him? Later, when you married in, I thought you would
You raised that child in front of you, but you said that you had never given birth and did not know how to take care of a child, so you pushed Tianbo to me. Later, you had Tianqi, and you had no intention of taking care of Tianbo. Did you let me throw this child away?
Are you there?"
After hearing this, my aunt's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she felt guilty, "Master, don't say that. If you want to blame me, blame me. I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a mother."
"Xuan'er, I don't blame you. Bo'er is a smart kid. I haven't worried about it since I was a child. If my mother didn't force you to leave back then, there would be no place for her to speak here." Mr. Meng suddenly felt that the love between husband and wife for so many years
The points have completely disappeared.
"You~~~ Meng Zhanyuan, you are so heartless," Mrs. Meng accused, "What happened to me saving some money for Tianqi? Now doesn't it just mean that I have foresight."
"No more, no more words," Mr. Meng waved his hand feebly, "I have only two sons in my life, and I don't even know what family happiness is..." The voice suddenly disappeared.
Mr. Meng fell limp to the ground. Sally happened to be there and pinched Mr. Meng before he woke up and said, "Help me go back, I don't want to stay here anymore."
Everyone left, but Mrs. Meng was extremely calm. She told Baoju, "Go and get some paper and pen. I'll dictate and you can write. Later, go get a hairpin from my jewelry box and give it to you." Baoju said.
I'm glad I was careful at that time, otherwise I would definitely be punished instead of receiving a reward now.
Taking paper and pen over, Mrs. Meng lowered her voice and spoke slowly. After hearing this, Baoju felt a chill go down her spine, but she didn't dare to show it. After she finished writing, she handed it to Mrs. Meng to read.
"Send it to the princess. If anyone finds out, I will betray you."
"Yes, I know." After saying that, Baoju asked Baozhu to wait in front of Mrs. Meng, then went to the princess's mansion and delivered the letter.
