Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 136

Xiangfu.

Dongmei, the servant girl in Xu's room, knelt on the ground in the Dongci room, and whispered back about Meng's inquiry.

Meng's complexion worsened the more she heard it, from anger and disappointment to silent frustration.

After a long silence, Mrs. Meng ordered Mother Yao: "Order the servants in the inner house to inform the housekeeper. Before the dust of the Xu family case is settled, no one in the main house is allowed to leave the inner house, let alone deliver letters and other things to the house for the young lady. Any one who violates the order will be handed over to the housekeeper directly."

Mother Yao claimed yes, and when she turned around and lifted the curtain to go out, Mrs. Xu barged in with tears on her face.

Mother Yao quickly winked at the two maidservants in the room, and then went out.

Mrs. Xu entered the door and knelt down in front of the big kang.

A servant girl had quick eyes and hands, and when she was kneeling on the ground, she stuffed the cushion under her legs, and then stopped her kowtow with another servant girl in time, and persuaded: "Young Madam, you must first understand what you have said. , Kneel down and kowtow when you enter the door, so you won’t be afraid that Madam will be frightened.”

Then Xu wept and said: "Mother, save the Xu family, save me. I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's mansion, but I have become the daughter of a criminal minister. What's going on? I want to go to the outer court to see.... "

Mrs. Meng interrupted her, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "What a shame to be crying!"

Surprised by the words, Mrs. Xu looked up at Mrs. Meng.Mrs. Meng has never been as close as Mrs. Tai treated Ye Xizhao, but she has never scolded her like this either.After scrutinizing her eyes, she found that Mrs. Meng had aged several years in the past two days.

Mrs. Meng ordered: "Go and wash your face first, and then come talk to me when someone is healthy."

When Xu followed the maid to clean her face, she noticed Dongmei standing in the corner with her head bowed.Why did the maid in her room come here?Could it be... She cast a cold look at Dongmei, but her expression became more and more uncertain.

After cleaning her face, Mrs. Xu returned to Dongci Room and stood in front of Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng signaled Mrs. Xu to come and stand still, and said coldly: "If you don't come to me, I will go to you too, and settle some accounts clearly. Don't tell me about the Xu family, I'm a housewife , I can’t control that much. Right now, just listen to me!”

Mrs. Xu raised her eyes quickly, and saw that Mrs. Meng seemed to have thunderous anger at this moment, but she was suppressing it in her heart.Such a mother-in-law made her feel strange and frightened her.She didn't even dare to answer, just nodded lightly again and again.

Meng shi said slowly: "Your father accepts bribes, but you are not idle, huh? There are people who are greedy for small profits in the prime minister's house, which really opened my eyes."

Xu took a quick look at Dongmei, and the most worrying thing still happened.In this way, the Xu family will no longer be able to get help from the Prime Minister's Mansion.No matter what, the Meng family has lived with Ye Shuxuan for half a lifetime. There are merits and confusions, but the couple have one thing in common - they have a noble temperament and hate people who are greedy for money.

Dongmei stood with her head down all the time, not daring to look at Mrs. Xu.She is just a servant, and Xu's natal family has fallen into such a situation, and Meng can't help but threaten her with the safety of her mother, father, brothers and sisters, and ask her to truthfully report all kinds of behaviors of Xu's fishing in troubled waters in recent days ——This is clearly because she has learned of Xu's behavior and she just needs to prove it further.Not to mention knowing that Xu's various behaviors are inappropriate, even if he agrees, under such a premise, he can only abandon the old master to protect his family from being harmed.

Mrs. Meng sighed heavily, "Since you entered the door, thinking of how much sincerity you have for Xi Han, the Xiangfu has always treated you kindly. Xiangye, Xi Zhao, and I are all looking forward to seeing you as husband and wife. You are not capable of restraining Xi Han, so we will help you restrain him. At that time, you couldn't even fight against a concubine, and the concubine had a happy pulse before you. We didn't say anything, and helped You sent those people out of the house. We thought that with your tolerance to Xihan and your ability to keep the inner house in order, that's enough. I don't expect anything from you, even many things. I'm thinking about you. But how did you repay me?"

In the last sentence, Meng's tone was very slow and gloomy, which made the atmosphere in the room extremely depressing.

Mrs. Meng continued with a wry smile, "You came back from Shu, because of the eldest grandson, I handed over all the affairs of the house to you, and I also feel that you are not a person who spares no good fortune—Xihan's also It's about you and Brother Tao, you don't know the importance. I'm confused, too confused—" She sighed heavily again, "I should have consulted Xi Han first about Xi Lang's marriage, no You should be crying and crying in front of me, and you shouldn't be repeating yourself again and again because of your caressing, until you end up alienating your daughter and being rejected by the prime minister——I should understand then, you I'm not someone who can afford big things, but I couldn't figure it out, but I regarded you as the most caring person."

"Accepting and accepting bribes, let your natal family find you two girls who are like daughters-in-law, and send them to the Hou's mansion quietly?" When Meng said this, she still had some disbelief, really I don't want to believe that such a stupid person is actually the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiangfu who she once valued, and then she sneered, "Xi Zhao and I sent you away from the concubine's room at the beginning, but now you are sending the concubine's room to Lord Hou—" ——If it wasn’t for Lord Hou’s self-discipline, wouldn’t you have fulfilled your wish? Wouldn’t you want to let my daughter follow my old path and fall into such an embarrassing situation now?!” At the end of the sentence, the speed of speech was already urgent and Quickly, what followed was that she raised her hand and slapped the Kang table heavily, causing the teacup to shake for a while, and the sound of touching porcelain was distinct.

Xu had no way to refute Meng's previous words, but regarding this matter, she felt that she had to defend a few words.She knelt down again, looked up at Mengshi, and said bravely: "Mother, my daughter-in-law has her own plan for this matter."

There was a sneer on the corner of Meng's lips, "You tell me to listen!"

Mrs. Xu lowered her eyelids, looked at the four square blue bricks on the ground, and said softly: "Mother, my original intention was to let Xi Zhao understand your suffering. The marriage of the second master was facilitated by Xi Zhao and Mrs. Tai. I know that although you appear to be I was happy, but my heart was as sad as I was. No matter what, the second master was just a concubine. No matter how high his official position was, no matter how much he threatened the uncle, as the main wife, he still felt uneasy. That Marriage is unavoidable, but we can bring Xi Zhao over and ask her to help us prevent the second master from making things difficult for him in the future. If she keeps doing nothing, won't we have to worship and respect the second master for the rest of our lives? But we want her to be indifferent For that brotherhood, only by letting her truly experience the many unavoidable things of being surrounded by concubines and concubines and concubines, can she make a long-term plan for us. Mother, there are not no people who can suppress the second master—Master Hou is completely Yes. I know, it's a little too much to do this, but, for the sake of the uncle, for Brother Tao, I think we can only wrong Xi Zhao for a while..."

What interrupted Xu's words was the sound of the teacup falling to the ground and being smashed to pieces.

Xu Shi was so frightened that his whole body trembled suddenly, and his figure froze in place, not daring to move.

Meng threw the teacup, but was still puzzled, her chest heaved sharply, and after a while, she reprimanded: "I still have such thoughts up to now, not ashamed, but plausible! Idiot! Idiot! Whoever has such thoughts Things are clearly inferior to pigs and dogs!"

The maid in the room looked at Xu Shi, and couldn't help feeling contemptuous.

If these words were said before, Meng would not agree, but he would not be so angry.But what time is it now?It's too stupid for Mrs. Xu to want Mrs. Meng to treat the difference between his father and son as usual.

They didn't understand why Mrs. Xu hadn't figured out one thing until now - the current situation is precisely the situation that Ye Xizhao was worried about before.Now the Meng family is not sure whether Ye Xihan will not be implicated by his father-in-law. If Ye Xihan is implicated, who will be needed to establish a household in the Xiangfu in the future?
Mrs. Meng was so angry that she dismissed the maids in the room in a cold voice, and paced back and forth in front of Mrs. Xu, her voice full of hatred: "You think my daughter doesn't hate concubines, and the children of concubines are the ones who don't like me?" So—then why didn’t she object to me giving abortion pills to Yan Hong’s concubine?! Why didn’t she take the time to watch you suffer the pain of having a concubine under your knees but you have nothing to give?! What is she doing, you idiot until now She still doesn't understand! She is afraid that you will follow my old path!"

Speaking of himself, Meng's voice added a bit of bitterness, "If I really had a plan, I should kill those concubine children in the womb. But I don't, I can't stop the prime minister from taking concubines, I I still want to gain a good reputation, but I am most afraid that people will say that I am too vicious. Therefore, I only dare to suppress them after they are born, or to train them one by one. Those concubines, one by one, followed my wishes My wish, but Xi Lang is not something I can suppress, and if I still have that kind of thought now, I am overwhelmed! Others can disturb me and Xiangye at any time so that I can't sleep at night or even never have peace. If you are Xi Zhao, you will Won't you advise me to treat Xi Lang kindly?!"

She stopped in her tracks and looked down at Xu Shi, "You idiot, do you always think that Xi Zhao is meddling in other people's business, do you always think that Xi Zhao is too good to Xi Lang and Second Aunt, and you are simply out of your mind? You still don’t understand her intentions! To this day, when everyone in my game has fully realized it, you are still that short-sighted frog in a well!”

Having said that, Meng suddenly lost the desire to continue scolding.

Mrs. Meng turned to go inside, and waved her hand wearily, "Go back, why are you so harsh with me? It's just playing the piano to the cow, just like when Zhao Bai tactfully advised me in the past. You are about to taste the pain, you No matter how ignorant you are, you will always understand."
