Mrs. Meng was speechless. She wanted to say that she didn't know that Bai Meilan's child was her own grandson, otherwise she wouldn't have been so cruel. "Right... no..." She hadn't said the first word yet.
When she came out, Mrs. Meng was out of breath. She rested for a while and then said, "Xu...ruo...water."
Meng Tianbo said in a daze, "Why are you mentioning her when she is dead? After using Wang Mengjiao's hand to kill her, my son has no way to turn back."
The early morning in the Meng Mansion was quiet for a while, and then a large group of people were ushered in. Over there was the Meng family, headed by Mrs. Meng. Du Erniang wrote a letter back and told what happened in the mansion. Mrs. Meng then
She returned to the Meng Mansion with her second son and grandson. Mrs. Meng was already at an age when she knew her destiny, but she was still strong and full of energy.
Mr. Meng and his two sons served her tea and kowtowed. After drinking tea, she spoke, "Zhanyuan, you see we have been away for so long. It is not easy to return to the ancestral home today. Your younger brothers and sisters
, just take care of arranging things at home."
Master Meng was looking at so many things in the house that no one was taking over, so he said, "Mom, my son plans to hand over the affairs of the house to Tianqi. He has his second brother to help him. Don't worry, son. As for the affairs of the inner house, you can take care of it.
, the ledger and the cards are all in the house."
After Mrs. Meng came back, she saw that the Meng Mansion was many times more arrogant than before. She regretted why she didn't come back earlier. What was even more annoying was that Mrs. Meng only gave small gifts in addition to etiquette every time.
She didn't take her mother-in-law seriously and said, "You have a filial piety. Just take good care of your health. I will take care of the affairs of the house." This son has not been around for a long time, and Mrs. Meng didn't feel much family affection.
Mr. Meng had the same plan in his heart. After working hard all his life, he found out that his son was unfilial and his wife was unkind, so he was a little frustrated. Fortunately, his concubine was still by his side.
Meng Tianbo spent a day entrusting things in the house. Because of Master Meng's explanation, Meng Tianqi could only be a helper. The second young master of the Meng family, who was famous in the world, now had a bad reputation. His engagement was canceled by the princess.
Everybody knows.
When it was time to light the lantern that day, Meng Tian just returned to the house and saw Yan'er and Mrs. Hu waiting. As soon as he came in, Yan'er asked anxiously, "Master, where is the eldest mistress? Why haven't you seen the eldest mistress today? And Baomei."
I haven’t seen my sister either.”
Meng Tianbo moved his mouth but could not speak. Did he tell them that the eldest mistress was missing?
"Young master, has something happened to the eldest mistress?" Yan'er asked.
"Does the eldest mistress have any relatives in the city?" Meng Tianbo tried to ask. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he had no relatives in late autumn and was just holding on to a glimmer of hope.
Yan'er shook her head, "This slave used to be the maid of the Second Mistress. After the Second Mistress died, the eldest mistress kindly approached the madam and asked for her. In the past few months, I have never heard that the eldest mistress has any relatives in the city.
"
If he had known this answer, Meng Tianbo was still very disappointed and said, "The eldest young lady is missing."
"What?" Mrs. Hu said in surprise, "Why did the eldest mistress suddenly disappear?"
"I don't know either. You go down first and wait for the eldest mistress to come back and then come and serve her." Meng Tianbo sent two people down, then called the secret guards out and asked, "Have you found the eldest mistress?"
The two secret guards clasped their fists and said, "Please punish me, young master, my subordinates haven't found the young lady yet."
"Wow..." The neatly arranged tea sets on the table fell to the floor. How could I be so confused? Her unusual behavior last night had already indicated that she was ready to leave. It was so abominable that she actually put it under my eyes.
The child ran away from home but he didn’t know why?
After thinking about it, Meng Tianbo still felt that the matter had something to do with Meng Tianqi, but for several months, Meng Tianqi and she didn't even have the chance to be alone, so there was no way to say that they had a connection.
Meng Tianbo sat in the flower hall all night, but his eyes did not close for a moment.
How could Mrs. Hu and Yan'er rest assured? They came over early in the morning and said, "Master, the eldest mistress is missing. We should look for her. It's not a problem to sit like this."
Meng Tianbo moved his body and said in a hoarse voice, "We have already sent someone to look for him. Just go and do what you are supposed to do."
"Young Master," Yan'er was naturally anxious when she couldn't see Xu Ruoshui, and choked up, "Let me go out and look for you. My eldest mistress is very kind to me. She has given me a place to live and enough food to eat. She has never stopped."
Don’t beat or scold me, I have the same kind heart as the second young mistress before me. Now that the second young mistress is gone, I can’t live without the eldest mistress anymore.”
Meng Tianbo never thought that he would lose her one day. He broke her chastity before and asked her to help find evidence. None of this made her want to give up. However, Meng Tianqi disappeared after his marriage was regretted and his family property was taken away.
"You have been serving the eldest mistress for so long, but do you know why she is always close to the second wife, Aunt Wang?"
How could Yan'er know, but she remembered one thing, "When I first arrived here, I always felt that the eldest mistress looked like the second mistress. One time, Aunt Wang brought a hairpin over, and she didn't even look at it.
I was surprised that the name of the hairpin was 'Green Snow Hanfang', but the eldest mistress said that she was related to the second mistress, so I was able to dispel my doubts."
"Mom, did the eldest mistress often talk to the second mistress in the past?" Meng Tianbo couldn't remember whether he often talked to Xu Ruoshui in late autumn in the past.
Mrs. Hu thought for a while and said, "Master, the eldest mistress used to be dull and not good at talking. She stayed in the house all day. Apart from you, she didn't have much contact with others, let alone the second mistress of the second room. She didn't do much in this yard.
She went out once. But after she was hit by a demon, she seemed to have changed when she woke up. She became smarter and talked more..."
Meng Tianbo muttered the two words silently for a while, but he still couldn't figure it out. Could it be that she had something to do with Xu Ruoshui, the second wife?
"Yan'er, where is the second young mistress buried?" Meng Tianbo planned to start from here. Looking at her previous hatred for Wang Mengjiao and Meng Tianqi, he thought it was because of the second young mistress.
Yan'er dimmed her eyes and said sadly, "The second young master and his wife did not bury the second young mistress. There was not even a funeral ceremony, let alone a memorial tablet."
Yan'er's words reminded Meng Tianbo that she had heard that Meng Tianqi had borrowed Wang Mengjiao's help to kill the young mistress of the second room, and then because Mrs. Meng was not buried, she was also shocked last night. The princess broke off the engagement, wasn't it?
