From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 196

"Besides, if King Huai of Chu dies, will she let your father go, and everyone in Prince Liang's mansion?"

Don't think, don't guess, Mei Xin knows it won't.Although the empress dowager is not confused, she is an extremely defensive person, and she will take revenge.Of course, the most important thing is that she is a mother, and she is also a mother who loves King Huai of Chu very much.

In the heart of the mother, no matter how bad or bad the son is, it is the flesh that fell from her body. There is no reason to protect her, let alone allow others to teach her a lesson.Therefore, if King Huai of Chu died, she would 100% avenge him.

A mother's love for her child is always unjustified and without any justification.And even though the emperor ordered the death, the empress dowager would blame King Chuhuai's death on Prince Liang's house. After all, as long as they didn't pursue it, her son wouldn't have to die.

I was very annoyed, and the feeling of being persecuted was really, really uncomfortable.Mei Xin clenched her fists involuntarily, and opened her mouth to say: "Uncle Xiao means that I'll just let it go, and my father will endure such a shameful humiliation?"

I can't bear to do what I can do, maybe because of a couple of dogs and men and women, the whole family's life can't be taken.

Xiao Qichen thought of this in his heart, but he didn't say so. He frowned and replied thoughtfully: "The emperor ordered me to take all the insiders away, and didn't say how to deal with Princess Liang and Cheng Sichu. Didn't the emperor forget, Instead, leave them to your father to deal with. What the emperor means is that no matter what your father does or how to deal with him, he will not intervene."

A man is angry if his wife wears a cuckold, but Mei Zhannan's anger must be borne by someone, and he must be let out.It is better to spread fire on Shangguan Xinrou's mother and daughter than on King Huai of Chu.

"Niece, bear with the calm for a while, take a step back. King Huai of Chu can't die yet, if you really hate it, then wait until later. Didn't you say that it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years?" In fact, it was already a bit too much, but Xiao Qichen really couldn't bear to watch Mei Xin resist and refuse to obey.Right now the emperor is worrying that he won't be able to get hold of Prince Liang's mansion, if he rushes to send him up right now, he will surely die.

With a flash in front of her eyes, Mei Xin looked at Xiao Qichen in disbelief, as if she never thought that he would say such a thing to herself.

Embarrassed by her, Xiao Qichen explained: "I made a slip of the tongue, this word came out of my mouth and into your ear, so forget it, my eldest niece, and pretend I didn't say it."

Mei Xin was not a person who didn't know what to do, so she immediately got up and saluted sincerely, "Thank you!"

Waving his hand to signal her to be polite, Xiao Qichen said again: "The capital city is no better than Liangzhou. You just came back, so there are some things you don't need to rush. You are still young, and you tend to act impulsively. In the future, you should think more about your family. Your father is not easy. Your family has been for generations. It is even more difficult to guard Liangzhou with so many people dying. I know that the Mei family doesn't care about reputation in the world, but no matter how much they don't care, they can't fall on a woman and a dude."

"What's more, your younger brothers and sisters are going to get married, your father will go back to Liangzhou in the future, and your brother will inherit the title and lead thousands of troops. Why don't you put it aside just for the sake of being angry or happy for a while? The family doesn't care."

Mei Jiaerlang is admirable, and he also admires his fearless spirit of not fearing death.He sincerely hoped that people all over the world would praise the Mei family when they mentioned it, and they would all be loyal and brave, instead of the shame brought about by Shangguan Xinrou stealing people.

Mei Xin didn't speak, but it didn't mean she didn't agree with Xiao Qichen's words.Instead, she was thinking, struggling, struggling, trying to calm down the anger and resentment in her heart.

King Huai of Chu, the emperor, the empress dowager, and the prince all deceived others too much, and they didn't take the Mei family seriously.That's all for today, she admits it, but she will never let it go, she will take revenge, and she will get back everything they owed her and the Mei family.

With a long sigh of relief, Mei Xin's face was free of anger, and her complexion returned to normal. She said lightly, "I understand what Uncle Xiao said. Man, you can take it away. I won't say anything about it, but King Huai of Chu took the money from Prince Liang's mansion and must return it in full."

It would be too cheap for King Huai of Chu if he let him take the person away easily.Mei Xin was not reconciled, even the salary that had been fined for three years would not be able to enter the Prince Liang's Mansion, and the previous silver had to be returned.

With a startled look on his face, Xiao Qichen asked with some confusion: "Money, what kind of money?"

As soon as he received the news that Shangguan Xinrou had been arrested, King Huai of Chu couldn't sit still, and knew that he couldn't hide the matter.Determined that Mei Xin would go to the palace to sue him, he begged the empress dowager to save his life.However, he only said that he had an affair with Shangguan Xinrou and had a daughter, but he didn't say that he took money from Prince Liang's mansion.Therefore, the emperor didn't know about it, and Xiao Qichen didn't know about it.

The matter of Yinzi is also related to the private soldiers he raised. Mei Xin expected that King Huai of Chu would not dare to speak, so she ordered Yunluo to get the account book, and at the same time, she said: "Speaking out is not afraid of Uncle Xiao's jokes. My father has not been at home for more than ten years. , My housekeeper and soldiers were all bought by Shangguan Xinrou. They not only met every night, but also guarded and robbed my family property, and my aunt’s dowry, all of which were given to King Huai of Chu.”

"Ah, how...how could this be?" Xiao Qichen was stunned, because Shangguan Xinrou was not the only one in Prince Liang's mansion.There is a mother-in-law on top of her, a child on the bottom, and the second master of the Mei Mansion in the middle is still at home. How could it be possible to evacuate King Liang? It is too exaggerated.

Mei Xin wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, but the fact is that, and after Dao Yunluo brought the account book over, she said, "Please look, Uncle Xiao, the bank note alone is about 10 taels, plus my aunt's dowry." , The rewards my ancestors have received for generations. There are countless gold, silver and jewels, all of which were emptied by her. Before I came back, my second uncle still owed others the wine money and had no money to pay."

After finishing speaking, Mei Xin looked at Yun Luo and ordered: "Go and bring the previous butler, and let Uncle Xiao listen to what he said, to see if it is true that Prince Liang's mansion has been emptied. Also, take Chun Xing and other slaves who knew about this matter brought all of them to the front yard, and let Uncle Xiao take them away later. Mei Zhong's son, wife, and unmarried daughter were also brought along, and let Uncle Xiao take them away."

Mei Xin looked back at Yunluo with a wink, and then said to Xiao Qichen: "Please, Uncle Xiao, please present these ledgers to the emperor, and tell the emperor that these money and things were bought back with the blood and lives of my Mei family ancestors for generations. , must be returned. If not returned, so many people in my family need to eat and drink, how will I survive? After my father dies, what face will I have to meet my ancestors.”

One million taels of silver is enough for the emperor to think deeply, and it is also enough to arouse his suspicion and attention.
