Mr. Meng smashed the tea cup in his hand angrily. Looking at his son who was kneeling on the ground with an angry expression on his face, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Husband, Hong'er is still young. Besides, it is common for young people to be competitive. Why should you be so angry..." Mrs. Meng's wife supported her son distressedly and said to her in a disapproving tone.
My husband warned me.
"Do you think this is a trivial matter?!" Mr. Meng was so angry that his wife threw several glasses. His son was disobedient, and his wife doted on the youngest son and refused to let him discipline him. Now something really happened.
Although the Meng family's theory of luck is just a joke by outsiders, Mr. Meng is still somewhat self-aware. All the abilities of the Meng family are given to his own father, and all luck lies with his aunts. It is their turn.
These juniors can protect their family business from failure because of the blessing of their ancestors.
Now that the old man's whereabouts are uncertain, he has made it clear that he no longer wants to deal with the family's messy affairs, and Mr. Meng's mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, is also a sensible person. Her marriage to Meng Yuan back then was a huge bet made by the Liu family on the Meng family.
There is not much affection between them at all, and they have treated each other with respect and respect since the day they got married.
Therefore, since Meng Yuan has abandoned the family, there is no need for Liu to force herself. Her actions over the years have been worthy of the family that gave birth to her and worthy of the title "Mrs. Meng".
So not long after the old man disappeared, Mrs. Liu handed over all the family affairs to Mr. Meng and went to her manor in the countryside to enjoy her old age.
The attitude expressed by Mrs. Meng was also very clear. That cool guy Meng Yuan had only responsibility for her, but he had never liked her for a day. But by coincidence, she also didn't like this warrior of the Meng family. She really didn't like her.
It is impossible for a woman from aristocratic family to have a bad temper.
This is very painful for Mr. Meng. In the past, when the old man was here, he could just be a fool. Now that the old man has disappeared, his mother doesn't want to care about him, and all the family affairs are suddenly thrown at his head.
Probably only his wife felt very happy to hold the palace's royalties. Mr. Meng was worried to death now. Facts have proved that his father was really right when he asked him to be a rice bug.
The old man had only been away for a short time, and Mr. Meng was being plotted without leaving a trace. He had just given him a gift, and then someone came out about his younger son. If no one was behind the scenes, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
There can be such a coincidence.
Faced with his unruly wife and disobedient son, Mr. Meng was extremely tired, and he suddenly had the intention to drop everything and follow his father's example.
But he just thought about it. He didn't have the old man's incredible martial arts. Now the world is stable but the world is unstable. A while ago, he heard that a group of warriors in the North started to cause chaos and even attacked the city lord's mansion. I heard that there was a lot of trouble.
It's so cruel, it really makes the Wen family lose face.
Master Meng looked at his troubled wife and son, and finally walked away angrily. As soon as he left, his wife immediately took her son back who was kneeling on the ground, without taking what happened just now to her heart.
Master Meng came to the study and heard a message from his servants that the housekeeper from the front yard was back. He immediately asked someone to invite him over.
"Old Wu, have you found out who is plotting against our family?" Master Meng asked impatiently.
When Meng Yuan was still at home, Old Wu was the housekeeper of the Meng family. He had worked with the old man and his abilities were quite extraordinary. The Meng family had persisted until now and only had such a minor trouble. It was thanks to this old housekeeper.
Supporting in secret.
"No clues yet." Old Wu's expression was a little solemn. The fact that he couldn't find anything already indicated a big problem. There were not many people in Beijing who could play tricks on the Meng family.
"What should we do?" Mr. Meng panicked. In his eyes, Old Wu was omnipotent. If he couldn't even do anything about the other party, then he would have no idea.
"Master, if you want to find out more about this matter in Beijing, you still have to rely on the Jin Yiwei." Old Wu suggested.
"This..." Mr. Meng hesitated. Although many descendants of the Meng family are serving in the Jinyi Guards, their official positions are not high and they may not be useful. After all, even if the old man's reputation is there, he can't be supported by others.
Get up, no matter how big the backstage is, it’s useless.
Moreover, since the old man left Beijing, Master Meng has intentionally or unintentionally alienated his relationship with Jinyiwei. One of the reasons was that Qiu Qingyun and Axiu did not take him seriously when they came to visit him. The other reason is a bit strange. Master Meng
I feel that being too close to Jin Yiwei will make others think that they have impure thoughts.
When Lao Wu knew that Master Meng had this idea, he almost couldn't help but want to resign and return to his hometown. Your biological father was the former commander of the Jinyi Guards. You, your biological son, can avoid any suspicion.
To put it bluntly, even if you really have the intention to control the Jin Yiwei, is the commander in charge a waste, so that you can be ignored by a second-generation ancestor who has been plotted against you and doesn't even know who the enemy is?
If Meng Yuan hadn't been kind to him, Lao Wu would have really wanted to give up his job and leave.
Now looking at Mr. Meng who was hesitant, Old Wu couldn't help but sigh: "If the head of the family is worried, you might as well wait until I go to find Old Qian and talk about it first."
"Yes! There is also Uncle Qian!" Mr. Meng's eyes lit up: "Old Wu, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Under Master Meng's earnest gaze, Old Wu looked back and walked away with a hesitant expression on his face.
Lao Qian and Lao Wu have been friends for many years. When Lao Qian was the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, the secret connection between Mr. Lu and the old man was established through the two of them.
Now that Mr. Lu has become the emperor, Lao Qian has retired with his rewards and favors. Although he has a close relationship with the emperor, whether it is Jinyiwei or the three major factories, he never forgets to come during the holidays.
I gave the old man a gift and said hello, but after all, he was old and had retired. I'm afraid there would be no progress if Lao Wu came to see him. It was just to give Mr. Meng peace of mind.
The facts are similar to what Lao Wu guessed. Lao Qian's grandson gave birth to a smart and cute little great-grandson. Now he is raising the child at home and is really deaf to what is going on outside the window.
When Lao Wu came and talked about the matter, Lao Qian realized that such a situation had happened recently.
"Could it be Dongchang?"
After thinking about it, Lao Qian seemed to think that only the group of eunuchs had the highest desire to take action. The Meng family and the Jin Yiwei, no matter who got Prince Ding's favor, would be an obstacle to them. Now that the emperor is not in the capital, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Naturally,
Shouldn't let it go.
"If it were Dongchang, I would be at ease," Old Wu said with some worry: "The factory guards have always been at odds with each other, but now the Meng family and Jinyiwei are not close relatives. Cao Shun has no need to arrange this incident."
Without Meng Yuan, the Meng family is not a tiger without its teeth, it is simply a fox without the power of a tiger. Anyone with a bit of discernment can see that the current Mr. Meng, who is strong on the outside and strong on the inside, is not capable of doing anything, and takes him as his opponent...
.I’m afraid Cao Shun can’t afford to lose this person.
"But if it's not Dongchang, it could be..." Lao Qian hesitated and looked at his old friend in surprise: "Are you doubting one of your own?"
Old Wu sighed: "I have been away from Beijing for many years. The brothers of the older generation have retreated to death. Can the current Jinyiwei still be considered one of the Meng family's members? I and the envoy who should be in command
I’m not familiar with him, old Qian, could you tell me what kind of person he is?”
