Suddenly there was a loud bang in the quiet room, which scared Mei Niang. She stood up suddenly, put her hand on her chest, glared at Xu Junying, and said angrily: "Can't you talk properly? Don't bang the table in front of me! I hate banging the table!"
Xu Junying and her stared at each other for a while, and finally looked away: "I'm wrong! You... shouldn't go too far!"
He had already made the biggest concession, shown all his sincerity, and completely opened his heart to her. He was so tolerant just to stabilize her and let her stay in the Hou Mansion peacefully and never get involved in the chaotic world outside. But she rejected him without even a second thought, making him feel so ashamed for a moment!
Maybe I should awaken her memory and tell her what she has done and what she wants? She has committed an unforgivable crime and there is no way out for her!
At Xiankeliao, he met Prince Qi, Zhang Jingyun, Lingxuzi, and the handsome Master Lin. Not long after, he saw Cen Meimei coming out. The dull Prince Qi suddenly perked up, his eyes instantly brightened like stars. When Prince Qi called out "Qin Er", he was startled and stared at Cen Meimei closely. She was dressed in men's clothing, her manners were elegant and dignified, and her every word and smile revealed the charm and tenderness of a woman. She was friendly and gentle to everyone, smiling and greeting them, but she didn't dare to look him in the eye, and even refused to look up when facing each other. The etiquette of toasting at the table started from the most respected, but she would rather let people laugh at her for not knowing etiquette. Starting from Zhang Jingyun in white, except for that face, the shadow of Mei Niang was printed all over her body, and he could never catch the pair of eyes that left a deep impression on him... Cen Meimei, Qin Er, if she is not Qin Mei Niang, who else could she be
But how could she dare, how could she, how could she have that ability? She ran out of the Hou Mansion, hosted the Xianke, met the King of Qi, and even fought with the King of Qi's guards - Baizhan said that she was extraordinary, when did she learn martial arts
And where did this lifelike mask of hers come from
He took a closer look at Zhang Jingyun. Zhang Jingyun had always been calm and composed, with no expression on his face. No one else in the capital would have a mask like that except him.
That is to say, after Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi met Qin Meiniang in his mansion, they had some dealings. Zhang Jingyun gave her a mask to help her transform into Cen Meimei. She was in charge of the inner courtyard of the mansion, so she could leave the mansion at any time. That's how she got to know King Qi and took over Xiankelai...
No wonder she suddenly felt dizzy, lying in bed in her upper room for a long time and refusing to come out of it, nor did she want to go to Jinhua Courtyard to greet and serve. Most of her time was spent outside the Hou Mansion!
Xu Junying's mood at that time was indescribable. He was extremely irritated, shocked and angry. The person who came back to life was indeed extraordinary. He quietly made friends with him and got to know the King of Qi right under his nose, and even ignored his existence!
He used his eyes to force her to submit and drink with him obediently. This was Qin Meiniang. In the Hou Mansion, she had no choice but to obey him!
When she choked and ran away, he knew that she would return home before him. She would not run away. She had Heng'er and a group of maids and servants who were loyal to her. She could not abandon them!
He also wanted to go home quickly, but the emperor summoned him into the palace at this time. He asked Bai Zhan to investigate the matter. In just half a day, he basically figured out the truth. It was ridiculous that he trusted the weak Qin Meiniang too much and never thought about checking her background. In just a few months when she took charge of the Hou Mansion, everyone only saw that she had the ability to manage the household expenses, but they didn't know that she used the financial resources of the Hou Mansion and created a considerable industry for the Qin family under the name of Cen Meimei!
Apart from being surprised, he could also accept all this. It was rare for her to be so filial and considerate of her family. It was obvious that he was not wrong about her. She was a woman with affection and understanding.
What he couldn't get over was that she often sneaked out of the house to take care of Xiankelai, and during that time she talked and laughed with King Qi, Zhang Jingyun, Lingxuzi, and even the handsome Lu, the shopkeeper of Xiankelai. Didn't King Qi only like men? Why was he so nervous about her? And Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi, his old friends for many years, knew about his wife's situation, but they didn't even mention it to him!
The kind of pain that he had endured before, which pierced his heart, came back to him again. Mei Niang, are you going to put him in an unbearable situation again
Never allow it! If something like that happens again, this time it will be irreparable!
"Tell me, what do you want to give up Cyclamen?" Xu Junying asked calmly as he looked at Mei Niang who was standing sideways in front of him.
"I've said it before: I don't want to, I can't give up! I love cyclamen!"
"Because Cyclamen is doing very well right now? You..."
"That's not entirely true. I'm not used to being in the mansion. I feel depressed and bored. Outside, I feel relaxed and happy both physically and mentally!"
Mei Niang turned around, acted like the boss of Xiankelai, sat down steadily, and looked at Xu Junying boldly, "Sister, I'm going to take the risk. Let's be frank and talk!"
Xu Junying was unexpectedly not angry, and looked at her calmly: "Does the Hou Mansion make you feel depressed and bored? Didn't you live like this when I was not at home before? If Heng'er is around, will you still be bored?"
Mei Niang bit her lip lightly: "You should know what your own home is like. Do you know how I live when you are not at home? Do you want me to tell you?"
Xu Junying's eyes gradually turned cold: "Tell me!"
"It was very boring. The old lady didn't want me to go to Jinhua Hall to pay my respects. The eldest lady seemed very busy and had no time to pay attention to me. She also exempted me from the visit to the emperor. My sisters-in-law didn't like me. Bai Jingyu even glared at me every time she saw me, as if I was born with a grudge against her... I didn't dare to leave Qinghua Court at that time. Occasionally, I had to ask someone to make sure that there was no one on the road before I went out. People only thought that I married into the Hou Mansion and enjoyed wealth and glory. Who knew that a newlywed bride would not have food to eat? You don't have to look at me like that. I believe in my maids. They will never lie. And now I understand that what I have suffered was caused by your old grandmother! She must have made some arrangements to make my life difficult and humble... At that time, in the entire Hou Mansion, only Rulan treated me sincerely. Later, Zheng Meiyu also came, and I believed her... You also know what happened later!"
Xu Junying looked at her straight in the eyes: "You, you remember?"
"I knew it!"
"when?"
"During the Chinese New Year, I offended the Second Madam and you asked me to kowtow to her. At that time, I wanted to have a big fight with you and let you divorce me. I really couldn't stand the rules of the Hou Mansion. It was my mother who told me that she didn't want me to leave the Hou Mansion and asked me to think about Heng'er. She also warned me: forget about this matter and don't tell anyone about it, otherwise it will bring disaster to my life!" (To be continued.
