From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 503 The Mantis Catches the Cicada Oriole Behind
Not only is it not old, but it is also full of charm, and its pungent and shrewd energy is also dazzling.

Mei Xin was already suspicious, upon hearing this, she immediately said: "How do you know how much younger she is than my father?"

He took the medicine bowl and felt it, Mei Xin felt that it was not hot, so he started to drink it.

Picking up the prepared candied fruit, Luoqiu turned her head and looked outside, and seeing cardamom guarding her, she replied in a low voice: "Last time Lamei brought something here and we talked about rouge and gouache. I praised her for her fair face and she said she used it It is the Yuyan ointment sold in the shop of the Hou Mansion. It is said that it is the prescription made by her old lady herself, and it is very easy to use. The reason why her old lady is so young is that she takes it internally and takes it externally. Later I asked her old lady Madam's age, she told me quietly."

In fact, if you think about the ages of Mei Jinze and Zongzheng Mingzhen carefully, you will know that there is not much difference in age between them.It's just that Liangzhou is bitterly cold and windy, and Mei Zhannan stays in the barracks all year round, exposed to the wind and sun, and has to fight on the battlefield from time to time. With old injuries, he naturally looks older than his actual age.But fortunately, he is not a bad old man who can't be seen with his tall horse and heroic martial arts. When he recovers from his injuries, he will be able to take good care of his body, and he will be able to return to his former radiant appearance.

If she was just skeptical before, then Mei Xin is sure now. It's just that she heard that the husband and wife had a good relationship when the old master Zongzheng was still alive, and that Magnolia hadn't had any contact with the Mei family these years. Will you fall in love with your father?

Frowning deeply, Mei Xin was a little confused after thinking about it.Feeling that this is a serious matter that needs to be clarified, she beckoned Luo Qiu to come over and say, "Go to the backyard and listen to what they are talking about. Didn't Lamei come over too? You pull her aside and drink some hot tea , by the way, set her words."

Simply talking about Bai Yulan is not disgusting to her. On the contrary, she knows a lot about advances and retreats, and she has no airs. She is a very comfortable person to get along with, and she is also a wise person.But her status is not suitable for her to be a stepmother, especially if the queen has a son under her knees, she can't even touch it.Therefore, from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want this matter to be true, and preferred that she was paranoid.

Luo Qiu understood and nodded immediately, and after taking the empty medicine bowl, she turned around and left.

Soon, Mei Zhongkai came and said that Mrs. Yu was dead, and that Yu Dalang had both legs broken and his left ear was bitten off in a dispute with others in the prison.

Because she arranged and manipulated the fight in the cell, Mei Xin was not surprised.It's just that she never expected Madam Yu to die.Wasn't it fine a few days ago, why did it suddenly die?

Wei Wei frowned and wiped her hands, Mei Xin asked calmly, "How did you die?"

He took a piece of candied fruit and threw it into his mouth. Mei Zhongkai sat down on the grand teacher's chair and said, "Hanging yourself. It is said that Lord Yu kept a concubine outside and sneaked into the mansion the night before. Mrs. Yu was very angry, and the couple grew up together." After arguing and fighting, he hanged himself in a fit of anger."

Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. It is not that the time has not yet come.During her lifetime, she tortured and squeezed her younger sister in every possible way, and it would be best if she died now, lest he would do anything.

Mei Xin didn't believe it, but Madam Yu was no ordinary woman.Usually, she would disturb three points for no reason, even dared to hit Lord Yu, and she would hang herself for an outside room, which sounded like a joke no matter how it sounded.

Entering the door from the outer room is equivalent to passing the Ming road, and is a concubine.In the past, she couldn't do anything outside, but in the mansion, as the wife of the wife, she can clean up as she wants.If they quarreled, they would hang themselves. With Mrs. Yu's temper, if she wanted to die, she would hang herself in the outer room.

"Are you sure, she really hanged herself?" Thinking of Yu Hou's personality, Mei Xin couldn't believe it even more. It's just that they have been married for many years and have children. Would he really kill his wife and children?

After receiving the news of Mrs. Yu's death, I felt very happy and didn't think too much about it. Mei Zhongkai was immediately stopped by Mei Xin.Shocked and taken aback, he asked with a puzzled face, "What do you mean, big sister wouldn't say that she was killed by someone?"

Slightly narrowing her eyes, Mei Xin said nothing, remembering the sudden appearance of the prince in Huangjue Temple, she suddenly sat up straight.The last time Yun Luo was lured to the rockery in the palace and saw the concubine having an affair with the prince. This time the prince was lured to Huangjue Temple.On the surface, it seems that they have nothing to do with her, but when you think about it carefully, they are all aimed at her.

There is a high probability of this possibility, Mei Zhongkai suddenly realized: "No wonder there are rumors outside that Mrs. Yu was forced to death, so she was waiting here. Big sister, what should I do?"

Everyone's mouths melt money, destroy bones, and once rumors spread, it is not Mei Xin who kills Madam Yu, but also her who kills Mrs. Yu.At that time, if Yu Hou uses this to fan the flames again, he will be unable to explain himself even if he jumps into the river.

Mei Xin is not afraid of rumors, but she can't let others splash dirty water and keep silent. She calmed down and thought about it carefully and said: "Although Yu Hou is an upstart in the imperial court, he didn't come from a wealthy family. He is from a small family. The family rules are not strict. You find a member of the Yu family to spread rumors, saying that Madam Yu did not commit suicide but was hanged after being strangled to death by Lord Yu."

Yu Hou is cruel and merciless, even if he didn't do it himself, it must have something to do with him.Therefore, it is not wronged him.

Mei Zhongkai, who has read a lot of poetry and books, considers himself a gentleman, but when he heard this, he was immediately stunned.However, he is not a kind person, and he also knew that this matter was difficult, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, big sister, I know how to do it."

Before the rumors spread, he wanted to catch the Yu family by surprise. It just so happened that the Yu family was in chaos and Yu Dalang was still in prison, so he couldn't react for a while.

Mei Xin wanted to train him and also wanted to see his ability, so she immediately said: "This matter must be kept secret, otherwise it will definitely burn you. Previously, the hidden guard had contact with the outer room, you can get it from the maid next to her or from someone else. Let's do it, boy."

The lives of the woman's parents and brothers are all in her hands, so she is not afraid that she will be disobedient.

Mei Zhongkai understood, got up and said, "I'm going to inquire now before it's too late. I'll finish things early. Eldest sister, you can go to Huangzhuang with peace of mind. I will do my best to take good care of uncle."

I have admired Mei Zhannan since I was a child, and I want to take this opportunity to get along well with him. It is best to learn some art of war, so that I can use it in officialdom in the future.

Mei Xin knew that he was filial, so she smiled slightly and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year's Day, we held a banquet at the Princess's Mansion, and you took the time to talk to your younger brothers about any taboos. If there is anything you don't understand, please ask for advice." Cousin of the Lu family, don't make any jokes when you get there."
