After rebirth, I became the richest man in the capital

Chapter 141

The night was quiet, and the night in the forest was still a bit chilly. Fortunately, the quilt that Shihong brought to Meng Liangchen was thick. Meng Liangchen lay in the soft quilt, and it was the first time that he camped in the real sense in this dynasty.

After lying down, there was silence outside except for the cries of insects, and Meng Liangchen soon fell asleep.

At this time, a somewhat thin figure outside the tent quietly approached, and circled around the back of the tent, sneaking around, not knowing what he wanted to do.

He glanced around, seeing that no one was coming, and he squatted down quietly without attracting the attention of the patrolling soldiers.

A black cloth bag was pulled out from his arms by the man, and he was about to do something when he unbuttoned the bag, when suddenly a hand reached out and grabbed the back of his neck.

When the black shadow was frightened, he wanted to yell, and the person behind him knocked him out with a knife, and stretched out the other hand to pick up the bag that hadn't been untied, and the two of them took the fainted person out of the tent. .

All this happened silently, and Meng Liangchen, who was in the tent, didn't feel it.

When Xu Yao woke up, he felt pain all over his body from the inside to the outside. He belatedly realized the fact that he had become a useless person, but he was not willing to accept the result.

He was lying on the bed and lost his temper. Xu Xiang, Mrs. Xu and Xu Rou stood outside the house and did not go in. They could only listen to the movement inside. One was crying silently, the other was silent, and the other was at a loss.

Xu Yao tossed and tossed for a few days, the pain in his body and the powerlessness of becoming a cripple filled his heart with rage, every day he threw out everything he could touch on the bed, and the servants in his room didn't dare He didn't dare to step forward to dissuade and stop him, otherwise he would be hit by things thrown over, ranging from the pillows on the bed to the porcelain ornaments on the bedside.

When Xu Yao threw away all the things and yelled so violently that he could not move on the bed, everyone dared to go forward to clean up.

Xu Xiang stood beside his bed with a serious face.

"Who are you showing this appearance? Are you showing it to your mother and me?"

Xu Yao had no strength at this time, his hair and clothes were disheveled, half of his body was leaning on the edge of the bed, and the broken hand was hanging limply on the edge of the bed.

"What can I do? Dad, what else can I do, I'm useless now... I can't even stand up..."

Seeing him like this, Xu Xiang hated iron for being weak and said, "Are you willing to go on like this?"

Xu Xu's tears finally flowed out uncontrollably: "What else can I do, Dad, tell me, I'm a useless person now, even if I get better in the future, I can't hold a pen, walk, or even get a job. Re-examination!"

Xu Xiang's heart was poured cold water by Xu Yao's words. What Xu Yao said was right, his son was useless.

Seeing that Xu Xiang didn't speak, Xu Yao just lay there and let the tears flow freely on his face. He was in a state of distress at this moment, which had nothing to do with the appearance of the first noble son of the prime minister's mansion in Kyoto.

Xu Xiang didn't know when he left, and Xu Yao just slumped on the bed in a daze.

Afterwards, Xu Xiang felt unwilling, and repeatedly mentioned what happened in the forest that day in the court hall, and wanted to seek justice for Xu Yao, but there was no evidence, and the emperor dealt with it calmly.

Xu Xiang, who had been blocked several times in the court hall, looked gloomy after he went down, and after getting into the carriage, he ordered the driver to drive in the opposite direction from the Xiangfu.

Ever since Meng Liangjing came back that day, she felt uneasy for some reason. That night she quietly waited for the news in her tent. She thought she could hear what she wanted, but she never got what she expected.

Until the next morning, when she opened her eyes and woke up, she found two people standing in front of her tent before she got out of the tent.

Meng Liangjing was extremely surprised.

"Who are you? Why are you in my tent?"

The faces of the two men were calm, but they answered irrelevant questions: "The Second Prince ordered me to send Second Miss Meng back to the Hou Mansion."

Meng Liangjing was puzzled, logically speaking, the hunt organized by the royal family had not yet completely ended, why did Mu Yun order someone to send her back?
Could it be that because of what happened yesterday, Mu Yun felt that this place was not safe, so he wanted to send her back to Beijing?

Meng Liangjing didn't ask any further questions. Although he still had doubts about the person who didn't come back to answer last night, he still followed them into the carriage.

But until she returned to her yard, the two still did not leave.

She asked with some doubts: "Aren't you going back to report?"

The expressions of the two men remained unchanged, and they replied: "By order of the prince, the two of us will stay and protect Second Miss Meng."

Meng Liangjing's expression paused, and he said, "I've arrived home safely, you don't need to guard it anymore."

The two guards still had the same expressions, and they didn't waver at all: "Second Miss Meng, we are following orders."

Meng Liangjing saw that the two of them didn't eat oil and salt, so he didn't want to worry about it anymore.But when she was about to leave the hospital, she was stopped by two people.

Meng Liangjing stood at the gate of the courtyard, frowning.

"I want to go out, why do you stop me?"

The guard replied with a blank expression: "My lord's password, Second Miss Meng is not allowed to leave the residence."

Meng Liangjing's heart sank, and only then did he realize that something was wrong.

"I do not believe!"

Mu Yun has no reason to do this. If she is not allowed to leave the house, wouldn't it be quite grounded?

In her own home, was ordered to be grounded by Mu Yun?

It's ridiculous!
Meng Liangjing's heart was overwhelmed, and all kinds of thoughts rushed through him, but he still couldn't find a clue.

She turned around and went back into the house, but the more she thought about it, the more flustered she became, and finally she couldn't help but opened the door and walked out.

"I want to see the Second Prince!"

But the two guards rejected her: "The Second Prince is busy with government affairs recently, and has no time to see Second Miss Meng. Second Miss Meng is at home at ease."

Meng Liangjing's heart sank, and his face became a little ugly.

What exactly is going on?

On the other side, Mu Yun knew about Meng Liangjing's situation here.

"She looks flustered?"

Mu Yun asked lightly.

The visitor replied: "Yes!"

Mu Yun put down the folder in his hand, and frowned briefly.

After Mu Ze reminded him again that day outside the imperial study room, Mu Yun no longer stubbornly believed that Meng Liangjing was really a simple and kind-hearted girl who had received some grievances from her concubine.

Once a seed of doubt is planted in your heart, you can no longer let it go without confirming it.

And on the night of August [-]th, the people he sent saw with their own eyes how Meng Liangjing met the man he had found with money, and they could clearly see what the man was thinking next.
