From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 356 Confronting the Old Fox

With a shock in her heart, Qiu Wanying was stunned, she stared at Mei Xin dumbfounded as if she had seen a ghost.Except for her personal maid, even her aunt didn't know about her writing ability with her left hand. How did she know.Moreover, her determined expression didn't seem to be delusional, nor did she seem to be guessing randomly. How did she know and who told her?
The first thing that comes to mind is her maidservant, but she has always been loyal, and her deed of sale is also in her own hands, so it is impossible for her to betray herself, and there is no need to mention this to others.Since neither she nor herself said it, how did Mei Xin know?
Thinking carefully, fearful and full of doubts, Qiu Wanying's eyes on Mei Xin changed immediately.Forced a smile and said: "I think the eldest princess heard it wrong, the one who can write with both hands is the servant's daughter..."

Before she finished speaking, Mei Xin stood up, stopped her and said calmly: "Since Miss Qiu San doesn't want to write, then don't embarrass her. Father-in-law Deshun, you should report the truth to the emperor."

After saying that, he turned around and saw Qiu Zaifu standing outside the door.Pulling a stinky face, as if someone owed him millions of taels of silver and didn't pay it back.

Without squinting, she raised her legs and took a step, Mei Xin just took a step before Qiu Wanying opened her mouth.Hastily stepped forward two steps, with panic and helplessness in his words: "Wait, I'll write, I can write!"

Her arms can't twist her thighs, not to mention the majesty of the emperor. The most important thing is that she still hasn't figured out what the emperor wants her to do when she writes.So, whether she wants to write about her today or not, she can't escape it.And if she would rather die than submit to the imperial court, it must be her who is unlucky.

Looking at Qiu Zaifu's eagle-watching eyes, Mei Xin smiled, her smile was like a flower, and she gently parted her vermilion lips, and said word by word: "A person who knows current affairs is a hero, and he is worthy of being Qiu Zaifu's granddaughter."

He is an old fox who knows how to sing, read, and do everything. Even if his granddaughter is a concubine, she will inherit his conduct.It's a pity that there will be a moment when the fox will show its tail, and there will be a day when it will be caught.

Standing at the same spot without moving, Qiu Zaifu said with a half-smile: "Princess, I'm honored."

He was very angry, but at this point he had no chance of remedying the situation, and the emperor had deliberately done it, so he was helpless for a while.

Smiling without saying a word, Mei Xin completely ignored his sarcasm, and handed the paper in her hand to Eunuch Deshun'er.Looking back, Qiu Wanying saw that she had started to write with her left hand, and the handwriting was exactly the same as the handwriting on the letter. She said: "The room is a bit boring. I'll go out and wait outside. Eunuch Lao is here to watch."

De Shun'er took the order, saluted yes, and then Mei Xin walked out.

It was icy and snowy outside, although the snow had stopped but it was not sunny.So, the gloomy cold wind howled.

Seeing that Mei Xin came out with no fear on her face, Qiu Zaifu turned to look at a green pine planted beside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and said inscrutablely: "Auspicious snow is a sign of a good year, the last time it snowed so much was the year your grandfather died. , the emerald green pines were crushed.”

The flowers, plants and trees in the palace are taken care of by someone, so naturally they will not be broken, but it is different outside, like the bamboo planted in his yard, either bent or directly broken.

Although the heavy snow like goose feathers did not last for a long time, it continued continuously and never stopped for a moment.Therefore, both the roof and the ground are covered with a thick layer, and one foot almost reaches the knee of a person.

Going forward and standing side by side with Qiu Zaifu, Mei Xin looked at the thick snow on the roof and said: "It's a pity that my grandfather died early, otherwise my Mei family's daughter wouldn't be honored if he lived like Qiu Zaifu." Bullied."

Born as a general, since she was a child, she always spoke directly and acted directly, so that Mei Xin didn't like arguing with others, especially like Qiu Zaifu, who had to make twists and turns when she said a word, she really hated it.

With a shock in his heart, he turned his head to look at Mei Xin, seeing her expressionless face, Qiu Zaifu withdrew his gaze and said indifferently: "Princess, do you think the old minister has lived too long?"

Huang Kou'er was really bold, and he didn't know how Mei Zhannan taught him.

The corner of her mouth raised into a faint smile, and Mei Xin said: "How dare you, Qiu Zaifu is an important minister of the imperial court, the head of all officials, the emperor's right-hand man, naturally the longer you live, the better."

Turning his head to look at her again, Qiu Zaifu snorted coldly and said with disdain: "You are different from your grandfather."

Mei Xin ignored every word of sarcasm, took it as a compliment, and said honestly: "The blue is better than the blue, and I am different from my grandfather. Just like Qiu Zaifu and your son, grandson, and granddaughter, they are naturally different. is different."

There was something in the words, Mei Xin unceremoniously returned the sarcasm.

Seeing that she was eloquent and eloquent, she didn't look like the Mei family at all, Qiu Zaifu changed the subject and said, "Although your father is a general, he also studied, didn't he teach you the principles of being convenient for others and yourself?"

Qiu Mei's family has never had any enmity, he has no idea why Mei Xin clings to her tightly.Besides, it was the Yu family who bullied her second sister, and she should turn to the Yu family if she wanted to settle the score.

Turning her head around to face him, Mei Xin put away all the smiles on her face and looked at him, and replied solemnly and seriously: "I grew up in the army, and I only know that there is revenge and grudges. Gratitude and grudges are clear. As for What Qiu Zaifu said is convenient for others and convenient for oneself depends on who it is."

On the surface, the Qiu family and the Mei family did have no enmity in the past, but secretly they manipulated the Shangguan family and caused trouble for the Mei family.Moreover, according to her investigation, they also contributed to the affair of Shangguan Xinrou's affair with King Huai of Chu. They even contributed to the rumors in the capital.

His eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and Qiu Zaifu's face became gloomy again.He looked at Mei Xin without squinting, and said with a cold smile: "So you did it on purpose?"

"On purpose? On purpose? I don't understand Qiu Zaifu's words." Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Father-in-law De Shun'er had come out, and instead of being angry, Mei Xin smiled and said, "I'm not very good at talking. I think Qiu Zaifu misunderstood. I am the eldest sister in my family, and my father taught me to love my younger siblings since I was a child. My second sister was bullied and almost died in Yufu. As the eldest sister, I should stand up for her. Besides, As a guard, if I can't even protect my younger sister, how can I protect the people and protect Liangzhou. Therefore, it is not my intention to bring out the fact that Miss Qiu Jiasan has an affair with Yu Dalang. I hope Zaifu Qiu will forgive me. Don't be angry!"

He bowed his hands in apology.

Seeing her pretending to be stupid as if she really didn't understand, Qiu Zaifu became more and more annoyed and angry.However, he didn't turn his back on him, but sneered and said, "If you're really just a child, do you think the emperor will punish Yu Daqing severely for this matter, stop dreaming."
