The useless daughter-in-law is going to turn the world upside down

Chapter 1486 Something Is Really Wrong
Aunt Liu and Meng Wanqiu murmured together, plotting against Meng Wanzhou.

Meng Wanzhou came out of the embroidery shop at this time, and saw a handsome smiling face as soon as she went out.

Meng Wanzhou blushed slightly, "Yanheng, why are you here?"

Mu Yanheng smiled and said: "I meet friends with poetry at the teahouse opposite, and when I see that you are done with your work, I will come over and go home with you."

Meng Wanzhou laughed, her eyebrows curved, "Are you looking at me all the time?"

Mu Yanheng was slightly ashamed, and said: "The beauty is delicious, and it's my fiancée, how can I look away?"

He is gentle and sincere, not only does not make people feel frivolous, but also feels very affectionate.

Meng Wanzhou pursed her smile, embarrassed to look at him.

Mu Yanheng was very happy: "Let's go to Fumantang to have dinner before going back. I will take office in two days and I want to talk to you more."

Although it only takes half a day to come back from Fang County, he has just taken office and must have a lot of things to do, and he has to ask for leave to hold the wedding, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come back before the wedding.

Meng Wanzhou also thought of this and wanted to develop a relationship with him, so she nodded.

Behind a window on the second floor of the opposite teahouse, Jing Xi fanned her jade fan leisurely, but her eyes followed the backs of Mu Yanheng and Meng Wanzhou.

For the first time, he suspected the "liberation of women" that the queen mother and the emperor's brother were doing, and it was a big mistake.

If it was five or six years ago, men and women walked side by side on the street like this, and unmarried men and women met before marriage, it would be outrageous!
But Meng Wanzhou was not ignorant of propriety, she brought two maids by her side, and went home without staying outside after eating.

Although the restraint on women is not so harsh now, women's reputation is still very important.

However, she walked back with Mu Yanheng, and when she arrived at the mansion, night had already fallen and the lanterns in the mansion were already lit.

As soon as Meng Wanzhou entered the second gate, she saw Meng Wanqiu with a few maids and servants, looking around for nothing.

Meng Wanqiu didn't seem to expect to see Meng Wanzhou, and saluted her, "Sister is back!"

"What are you looking for?" Meng Wanzhou also looked around, but found nothing.

Meng Wanqiu said: "Grandmother's trouble is lost, everyone is looking for it everywhere."

Nao Nao is a dog raised by Mrs. Meng. It was bought by my grandfather from a Westerner when he was alive. It has curly hair and does not grow up. It looks like a newborn lamb, very cute.

Ever since my grandfather passed away, my grandmother still wanted to hold on to Zhong Xi in the mansion, fought openly and secretly with Mrs. Meng, and was finally defeated.

But she hated Mrs. Meng from then on, and she regarded Mrs. Meng and the children born to Mrs. Meng as a thorn in her flesh, and tried to intervene in Meng Wanqiu's marriage several times but failed.

Meng Wanzhou didn't want to have too much interaction with Meng Wanqiu, and didn't want to take care of her grandmother's affairs, so she nodded and said, "I'm going back first, you can keep looking."

Meng Wanqiu asked: "Sister, do you know where Nao Nao often goes?"

Meng Wanzhou glanced at her and said, "I don't know."

Meng Wanqiu smiled and said, "Oh, then I'll continue to look for it. Sister, go slowly."

For some reason, Meng Wanzhou always felt that Meng Wanqiu was weird, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she didn't care and continued walking.

The maid beside her also sensed something was wrong, and said, "When did Miss Wanqiu become so polite?"

Another servant girl also said: "Yes, when I see Miss, I always act as if I owe her thousands of taels of silver."

Their young ladies don't know how to be on guard against others, so they can only remind them like this.

Meng Wanzhou heard this, and frowned, "It's really not right, let's be careful."

The two maids looked at each other and smiled, both of them looked like their masters were still saving.

Meng Wanzhou had just turned the cobblestone road when a black figure suddenly jumped out of the darkness and rushed towards her.

With a scream, she reflexively pulled out the dagger in her sleeve for self-defense, and just swung it.

The folk customs have become more civilized, and the constraints on women have been relaxed a lot. Women are more free to go out, but it also attracts many disciples with bad intentions, so she hides a dagger close to her body for self-defense.

This dagger was light and sharp, and as soon as it was swung out, there was a scream of "嗤", and the black shadow rushed into the flowers beside it, struggled a few times and then became silent.

The servant girl turned pale with fright, and said in a low voice, "Miss, that seems to be a commotion!"

Meng Wanzhou's face was a little pale, and she raised her hand. There were bloodstains on the dagger and on her hand.

Soon, footsteps could be heard, the old lady's personal maid Cui'er was walking in front, and Meng Wanqiu and her maid followed behind him.

Meng Wanzhou put the dagger back into her sleeve without any trace, and quickly calmed down.

Meng Wanqiu said anxiously: "I heard Nao Nao's screams just now!"

As he said that, seeing Meng Wanzhou, he immediately asked in surprise, "Why is sister here?"

Meng Wanzhou said lightly: "This is the only way to go back to my yard. I just came back from outside. Is it strange?"

Meng Wanqiu was speechless after being blocked, and smiled embarrassingly.

Tweety bowed to Meng Wanzhou: "I have met Miss."

Looking down, she saw fresh blood on the ground, "Hey, what's going on here?"

The two servant girls were a little panicked, and were about to prevaricate, Meng Wanzhou said, "A wild cat jumped out of nowhere just now, maybe it was injured."

Meng Wanqiu's eyes were bright, and she whispered, "Wild cat? But I heard a dog barking."

When Cui'er heard it, she also became alert, "Is it making trouble? Miss Wanqiu, are you sure it's a dog barking?"

Meng Wanqiu hurriedly went to see Meng Wanzhou, her eyes were timid, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "I probably heard wrong."

She has always been arrogant and rascal, when did she show timid eyes?

Meng Wanzhou frowned slightly, knowing that she was being tricked, so there must be a way out.

Tweety glanced between the two, raised the lantern, and said, "Let's look around."

The old lady's personal servant girl is more imposing than the concubine's young lady.

Meng Wanzhou said in a deep voice: "It's midnight, don't disturb the rest of the house, why don't you go back?"

"But..." Tweety glanced at the flowers.

"Do you want me to repeat it again?" Meng Wanzhou is usually talkative and laughs, and she seems to be very talkative, but as a daughter of the first wife, she has also been accompanied by the eldest princess, so her words still have some weight.

Tweety shrank her shoulders in fright. Although she was a celebrity in front of the old lady, she didn't have the guts to talk back to Miss Dichu.

So, he saluted somewhat unconvinced, and said, "Your maidservant will leave."

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Meng Wanqiu inexplicably.

Meng Wanqiu was looking at Meng Wanzhou's sleeve, which had a few spots of blood on it.

Meng Wanzhou said indifferently: "Sister, why don't you go to rest?"

Meng Wanqiu's eyes flickered, although she was not reconciled, she still left, and before she left, she gave her a sad look.
