Several times in dreams

Chapter 5
Before Meng Wanying was brought here, she was talking with her mother in another courtyard.

Because the old man and the elders of each family are still offering sacrifices to their ancestors, the back kitchen usually delivers all the food to each family, and finally delivers the food.

There are a lot of things to do today, and the mothers are busy with the tasks ahead before they have time to deliver meals to each family. The dinner in this small courtyard must be later than usual.

Seeing the butler rushing over to take Wanying away, Li Mengxian's heart was pounding, what happened?

Is this girl causing trouble again?She didn't dare to think about it, and quickly followed Wan Lan with her.

The entrance of the ancestral hall was already full of people. The young masters and ladies of various families, as well as girls and women, and long-term laborers who did rough work surrounded the ancestral hall tightly.

Everyone showed fear, whispered, and peeped into the ancestral hall.

Li Mengxian knew that something was wrong, this girl was afraid that she would cause a catastrophe, so her legs went limp and she almost fell down.

Fortunately, Wanlan was supporting her mother. The 12-year-old girl was already slim and graceful. Like her mother, she had a calm temperament like water. Although she was anxious in her heart, she did not show any panic.

In the ancestral hall, the old man Meng, Meng Zhaoxuan, Meng Zhaokun, and the elders of the family sat down one by one. Meng Wanying knelt under the hall, not knowing what happened, but seeing her grandfather's angry face, all the uncles also glared at her.

What's the matter?No matter how courageous she is on weekdays, Meng Wanying's heart is still a little hard to calm down at this moment. Although she doesn't know what happened, it should be related to herself.

Meng Guangfu controlled his emotions, and said in a deep voice, "Wanying, do you know why I called you here?"

"Back to grandfather, Wanying doesn't know..."

"You don't know! You don't know what you did?" Meng Zhaoxuan couldn't bear it any longer, and slapped the table.

Meng Wanying raised her head sharply, "Uncle, Wanying has been talking with her mother in the other courtyard, she really doesn't know what's going on, what happened?"

"Mother Liu said you went to the back kitchen in the evening, what did you do there?"

"Wanying went to see if mother's pear soup is ready..."

"and then……"

"Then? Then, the back kitchen didn't cook at all, and Ms. Liu even laughed at Wanying. Wanying was so angry that she quarreled with her, thinking that her mother was still sick, so she went back."

"Then what are you doing in the back kitchen with the needle? I heard you still want to use it to hurt people!" Meng Zhaoxuan sternly said.

"I went to Mother Chen's room to learn embroidery, and I didn't hurt anyone! I just wanted to scare Mother Liu, who made her so snobbish..."

Meng Wanying blushed anxiously and argued: "I didn't hit her, she escaped to the room..."

Wanying thought to herself, "Is this little thing worth mobilizing so much? It's really a villain who sues first!"

After all, he is young, he can't hide things on his face, and his face is full of resentment, everything can be seen by old Mrs. Meng.

"Housekeeper, bring the chicken and fish for ancestor worship!"

The old lady who didn't speak for a long time said slowly: "Wanying, before, I always felt that you were still a child. Even though you were sometimes spoiled and unreasonable, with no respect or inferiority, I also thought that you lost your father and lacked someone to discipline you. Open your eyes and close your eyes."

Speaking of this, Meng Guangfu glanced at Li Mengxian, Li Mengxian's body shook, her heart jumped up suddenly, the old master was blaming her for not disciplined Wanying well!

Her hands trembled slightly, and she immediately became disoriented.

I only heard the old man Meng continue to say: "I didn't expect that your mind would become so vicious at such a young age. Because you didn't get satisfaction for a little thing, you ignored the prosperity and decline of the whole family, and cast spells up and down on such a big event as ancestor worship. You, what are you doing?" What kind of heart is An's heart!"

The more Meng Guangfu talked, the more angry he became, and he felt like a lump in his throat for a while, and he couldn't continue talking!
"What!" Meng Wanying was startled and frightened, "Grandfather, Wanying didn't do anything!"

"You still dare to quibble!" Meng Zhaoxuan yelled angrily, "Look at this offering. The eyes of this chicken and fish were pierced with tiny holes with needles. During the sacrifice, the blood in the eyes slowly flowed out, like It's like shedding blood and tears, is this going to curse the whole family?"

"No! It's not me! I didn't!" Meng Wanying cried out with her eyes widened in horror.

"How could I do such a thing, grandfather, uncle, you believe me, I really didn't, woo..."

"You didn't?! Mother Liu said that you are the only one who has ever been in the back kitchen. No matter how much you quibble, you can't escape the blame! Come on, bring the family law! Today I will discipline you for my second brother, otherwise I will You will cause even greater disasters!"

"Uncle, I really didn't. Grandfather, you can trust Wanying. Wanying is not afraid of being punished, but I was really wronged. Someone framed me!"

Meng Wanying suddenly understood something, but she didn't dare to conclude without evidence, so she could only pluck up the courage to defend herself loudly.

Li Mengxian fell to her knees, coughing and pleading for Wanying.

"Father, it's not good to be a daughter-in-law. I haven't disciplined Wanying well. She usually lets her do whatever she wants. But, my child, I know that although she is wayward, she will never do such bad things that damage the family. She still Know the general! If you say something is wrong, the daughter-in-law will be the first to be punished, and if you want to hit me, hit me!"

"Tsk tsk, hit you? Old lady, look, only mothers who spoil children like this can raise such daughters. I think our whole family will be killed by their mothers sooner or later!"

He Jinlian pursed her lips, adding fuel to the flames, and Meng Wanyun next to her also made no secret of her gloating expression.

When she looked at Meng Wanying, she met Meng Wanying's angry eyes head-on, piercing towards Meng Wanyun like a flaming sword, Meng Wanyun's heart trembled, and she quickly avoided her eyes.

"Come here, hold down the second lady and hit twenty boards. From now on, without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the other courtyard. Think about it!"

The old man Meng shouted in a low voice, his eyes looked at Wanying, and he drifted away for a second, but in just one second, the old man's eyes became colder and harder, he turned and walked away.

Behind her came Meng Wanying's mournful cry: "Grandpa, I've never done it! You don't believe me..."

Afterwards, Meng Wanying looked at Meng Wanyun, her eyes were so red that they were about to bleed, she said in a low voice, "Did you hurt me? Remember, if you hurt me, I will never let you go!"

Meng Wanyun shivered for a moment, but before she could speak, He stepped forward and slapped Wanying on the face, half of her face immediately turned red and swollen.

"Little bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? You do bad things yourself, and you still blame my daughter. Come here, hit me!"

Meng Wanying didn't cry anymore, she bit her lips tightly and stared at He's mother and daughter.

The people in the whole yard were silent, the sound of the board being hit on the body, the sound of flesh and blood, accompanied by Li Mengxian's low sobs, echoed in this cold night.
