Meng Guiyu lost his parents before he reached adulthood, and was burdened by three younger brothers and sisters. He was able to pull his elder brothers and sisters into an environment where his elders looked on coldly, vicious servants bullied his young master, and the family was in dire financial straits. He could also make the originally neglected siblings The four men of the Meng family gradually turned around and were by no means an ordinary person.
At this moment, when he saw an uninvited guest suddenly appear in the room, even though his pupils shrank suddenly, he immediately waved his hand to stop Meng Yan's exclamation. He instantly put on a smile and stood up to greet him: "I'm very happy to have this distinguished guest! Why don't you, Brother Sheng Xian?" Can you please notify the door so that I can welcome you?"
"Coming here in the middle of the night is already a disturbance, so how can you still dare to work, Uncle Chongxin?" The man wore a black robe and looked under the lamp. His eyebrows were beautiful, his face was like jade, and he looked like a humble gentleman, but his eyes were as sharp as ice. The star was so bright and clear that it looked like a famous sword unsheathed. It was sharp and sharp, but it was none other than the Sheng Sleeping Crane who had brought Sheng Weiqiao to visit Chongxin Bofu.
Seeing that Meng Guiyu was calm even though he was shocked, he smiled. After bowing his hands, he sat down at the seats under the west window that were specially used for entertaining guests. He said slowly but unquestionably, "I came here because I have something to ask of you." , I hope uncle will not let me down!"
Meng Guiyu then sat down and asked clearly: "But because of the undercurrent in Zheng Guogong's mansion today? Speaking of which, I am also worried about this matter! Unfortunately, today is my cousin's birthday party, and the invited guests are all girls. , I was not among them. Although my sister-in-law Gui Huan was lucky enough to attend, when she came back she said that everything was calm at the banquet and she did not notice anything unusual."
As he spoke, Meng Yan timidly poured tea. After Meng Guiyu said this, he picked up the tea bowl in front of him and took a sip. After putting it down, he tentatively said, "The only thing that puzzles my roommate is the third lady of your family. Miss Eight, Miss Sun, and County Master Jingshu seem to have left early? The unknown virtuous brother is here at this moment, but?"
"My uncle will know what happened today in two days." Sheng Suihe smiled faintly and said in a gentle tone, "I have no other request here. I just want to ask your uncle to accompany me to the Duke Zheng's mansion. Of course. On the way there, please give me a detailed introduction to the layout of the back house of the Duke's Mansion, especially the residences of Aunt Jiaoyu, Mrs. Xiang, and my sisters Fourteenth and Fifteenth... That is the residence of my uncle's direct uncle. I am also familiar with my uncle’s wives and concubines, so this matter must be just a piece of cake for my uncle, so he will definitely not refuse?”
His words were gentle and elegant, without any murderous intent, but he came to the door alone in the middle of the night with the purpose of sneaking into the back house of Zheng Guogong's mansion at night. Even if Meng Guiyu couldn't guess all his plans, he could still be sure that Sheng Sleeping Crane has absolutely no good intentions towards the wives, concubines, and children of Zheng Guogong.
"... Although I don't know what happened in Zheng Guogong's mansion today, which caused the female family members of your family to be implicated, so that my dear brother came in person to make such a request." Meng Guiyu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "But my dear brother, As an elder brother with me, please understand me... Even if I don’t miss my brother-in-law relationship with Zheng Guogong, my three younger brothers and sisters are the ones I swore before the souls of my late father and mother that I must Take good care of it.”
He pointed at the door and sighed, "Tonight I will act as if I have never met my dear brother, and ask my dear brother to leave now! I also want to advise my dear brother: My dear brother is talented, has the status of number one scholar, and has a bright future. Why not bear with the anger for a while and wait until you are successful and famous? Wouldn't it be convenient to do whatever you want to do?"
Sheng Suihe didn't even look at the door, but looked at Meng Guiyu for a moment, and smiled playfully: "Uncle, you and I have only met each other once before, so it's no wonder that you don't understand me."
He took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve, casually took out two and put them on the case, pushed them in front of Meng Guiyu, put the rest back into his sleeve, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said casually, "But it doesn't matter, tonight It’s just the beginning, and your residence is not very far from Zheng Guogong’s residence. I can wait for my uncle to figure it out!"
"It's not about money..." Meng Guiyu heard this and continued to refuse, but when he saw the amount on the banknote, he was stunned for a moment. Then he thought of something, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead!
This time he was silent for a long time, so that the front of his coat was soaked with sweat and had clear marks on it. Then he showed a determined expression and slowly said, "I can arrange for you to go in, but you must promise , don’t drag Uncle Chongxin’s house into the water!”
"Of course." Sheng Suihe put down the tea bowl, calmed down and said with a smile, "After all, I still expect your uncle to help deal with the aftermath, so how can I put your uncle in danger?"
After hearing this, Meng Guiyu calmed down and continued: "And I need to know what Miss Sheng San and the others experienced today in Zheng Guogong's Mansion? Only by dealing with the aftermath like this can we erase the traces as much as possible and leave no future troubles! "
After saying this, he quickly added, "I promise not to spread even a single word!"
"They encountered Miss Meng Shisi who was molested. Although they successfully rescued her, they had to kill my niece during the rescue process, so that my daughter... my sister-in-law was frightened." This question For Sheng Suihe, there was nothing to hide. After hearing this, he said calmly, "I returned to the house in the afternoon and cried in the study for a long time. Although I tried my best to coax her to drink the calming soup... in the evening. At that time, the maid who served her came and told me that she had developed a fever, although it was not very serious... "
He stared at Meng Guiyu and showed an unpopular smile, "But what does the matter in Zheng Guoguo's mansion have to do with my family? My girls have suffered such a big loss for no reason. How can I, as the elder brother, not Seek some justice for them, right?”
"..." Meng Guiyu stared at the floor tiles not far away for a long time before resisting the urge to vomit blood.
By the way, seeing how this man was so gentle and polite when he came to express his gratitude a few days ago, he came over in the middle of the night and threatened him to go to Zheng Guogong's mansion to plot evil. He thought that the three girls from the Sheng family had suffered a huge loss today, and their innocence might even be tainted. Well, it was because of Sheng Suihe, his elder brother, that he couldn't bear it and carried out such a dangerous move regardless of the impending spring.
Co-author was just frightened
And only Miss Sheng San was frightened
If Miss Sheng San was frightened out of her mind, went crazy or crazy, or if she had a fever and was certain that she might not be able to survive the near-death situation, Meng Guiyu would understand that Sheng Suihe reacted so violently.
But he said it himself, it's not very dangerous. It can be seen that it will be cured in two days!
Although it is said that a good sister goes out to a banquet and something like this happens, as a family member, especially a brother who loves his sister, he must feel distressed and angry, but is he so angry? !
Meng Guiyu considered himself doting on his two younger sisters, whether it was Meng Guixin, the tenth daughter of the Meng family who had left the court, or Meng Guihuan, the eleventh daughter of the Meng family who was still waiting to be married, but they would sleep with Sheng He Yibi, he suddenly felt that this was actually how he treated his sisters
Could it be that his family was affected by the death of his parents, and that he, the eldest brother, was harsh on his sisters without knowing it, and thought he was treating them well
Is it wrong for me to act like a good brother all the time? ?
Meng Guiyu thought in confusion: But the sisters from the eldest, second and third bedrooms of the Meng family, even their younger brothers... don't seem to be as interested in Sheng Weiqiao as much as Sheng Suihe, right
"I didn't expect that the eldest aunt's suspicion was actually right!" After he stopped his random thoughts, he sighed and said to himself, "We all looked at him wrong before, thinking that he was just a concubine from a powerful family in Nanfeng County who was living outside. He only got the attention of the old man of the Sheng family because of his talent and ability to study. Even his martial arts were thought to be just a few random moves learned by rich people to keep fit and not worth mentioning!"
Speaking of which, the reason why Meng Guiyu defended the Sheng family in front of Empress Dowager Meng and Mrs. Xiang was to consider the overall situation and seek benefits for the fourth family. These two reasons were both, but his own doubts about the Sheng family actually did not exist. He was so strong that he was convinced that what happened in Bishui County was done by the Sheng family.
Otherwise, he would never have personally gone into battle to deny the Sheng family's suspicions. After all, nothing happened to the fourth room of the Meng family in the Bishui County incident. Meng Boheng, who was brutally captured, was Mrs. Xiang's biological son and only son!
Mrs. Xiang is not the kind of person who understands justice. Meng Guiyu is no stranger to this aunt's temper. How can he not be worried? If the Meng family wins in the future and the truth about the incident in Bishui County is re-examined, Mrs. Xiang and himself will also suffer. Hate? Even though he didn't want Mrs. Xiang to live too long for various reasons, Meng Boheng's sister Meng Bijun was the future successor, or even the next Queen Mother Meng... Even if Meng Guiyu had to consider the entire Meng family, he would not approve of Mrs. Xiang. We are going to kill all the Sheng family now, no matter how hard we find someone else to oppose them. Fortunately, we have a reason to escape the anger of Mrs. Xiang and Meng Bijun afterwards!
Well now, he has already given the Sheng family a guarantee in front of Empress Dowager Meng and Mrs. Xiang. Now if the news that the Sheng family is the real murderer is exposed, even if Meng Guiyu is not regarded as an ally of the Sheng family, he will at least be considered as an ally of the Sheng family. The madam's temper will definitely not let him go.
Not only him, but the entire Meng family, including the married Meng Guixin, Mrs. Xiang may not be willing to let go!
Thinking of this, Meng Guiyu couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly: No wonder Sheng Sleeping Crane dared to sneak into Uncle Chongxin's Mansion alone to ask for his help. This was due to the weakness of the Meng family's fourth house. Not only were the guards incompetent, but he was allowed to come and go freely, and his power was It is also because he is attached to the Duke of Zheng's Palace that he needs to consider the thoughts and moods of the people in the Duke's Palace at all times.
Therefore, although Meng Guiyu deduced from Sheng Suihe's unscrupulous and vengeful character that he was probably responsible for what happened in Bishui County, the reason why the imperial envoy could not find out was that Huan Yehe had the same thing as him. Encountered, coerced by this person... In this way, it is no wonder that at the birthday banquet in Zheng Guogong's mansion during the day, Huan Yehe invited Sheng Weiqiao and the others to leave. It was not because of anything between the county master and Sheng Weiqiao and the others. Instead of friendship, Sheng Suihe had to take care of his sister and niece!
It's just that although Meng Guiyu figured this out, he didn't have the slightest idea of exposing or reporting it. Fortunately, Sheng Suihe's revenge in Bishui County did not affect Meng Guihuan. Instead, he subconsciously figured out how to deal with this. Eliminate all clues that may point to the Sheng family and pin the blame for the real culprit firmly on Ruru
"According to what my dear brother said, in today's dispute between wives and concubines in the Duke of Zheng's palace, my eldest aunt probably won?" Meng Guiyu calmed down and said slowly, "In this case, the fate of Aunt Jiaoyu, mother and son will also happen in the near future. Okay. Why do you need to be so impatient, dear brother?"
He had been accidentally dragged into the water by Sheng Suihe, and now he was becoming more and more resistant to helping Sheng Suihe sneak into the Duke Zheng's mansion.
After all, just trying to excuse the Sheng family in front of the Queen Mother and Mrs. Xiang can still be explained.
But if Sheng Suihe helps Sheng Suihe enter the back house of the Duke of Zheng in the middle of the night, and Sheng Suihe takes this opportunity to do something unfavorable to the Duke of Zheng, Meng Guiyu will really be caught and join Huan Yehe In the future, we will have to become a grasshopper on a rope with Sheng Sleeping Crane!
And Sheng Suihe came over to threaten him in the middle of the night. Could it be that he just wanted to go to the back house of Zheng Guogong to broaden his horizons? 10% out of 100% good intentions!
Although Meng Guiyu knew that there was little hope, he still wanted to try his best to gain a chance of survival.
After hearing this, Sheng Suihe did not get angry or continue to threaten him, but looked at him with a meaningful look. After a moment, he smiled and said: "Uncle Chongxin, I heard about it before I came to Chang'an. It's about your meteoric rise, so before I came here tonight, I thought you would be very happy to provide convenience for me. The refusal just now was just to test my ability and determination... Now it seems that I have overestimated your ability. What courage!”
Meng Guiyu frowned slightly when he heard this. He noticed that there was clear contempt in Sheng Suihe's words.
Because his growing up experience was definitely not smooth sailing, even now that he had become an uncle, Meng Guiyu had to be obedient to the eldest wife and concubines, so he was really used to being humiliated.
Originally, with these few words, he wouldn't be angry.
But maybe because they are both brothers, and because there is not much age difference between them, especially the older one is Meng Guiyu, at this moment, a ball of anger suddenly surged in his heart!
But after all, he is a person who has suppressed it for a long time. This anger will not be revealed. He only said lightly: "I would like to hear the details!"
Unexpectedly, Sheng Suihe's understatement made him stunned on the spot!
