Seeing that Sheng Jiayan was really angry, A Rong quickly knelt down, but his face was neither humble nor arrogant, and his back was straight: "A Rong is wrong, but A Rong should not have done this without the young master. But I don't think so. Don't regret using the Meng family to set up a bureau, did the young master forget the reason why the entire army of the Sheng family was wiped out? Wasn't it because of the high-ranking man in the capital? He couldn't believe it until he died. The emperor really believed the traitor's rumors that he was 'gonggaoji'! And Concubine Yi's father and the queen's father were one of the ministers who had been reported. Since A Rong had his life to survive, he would not be able to survive. I won't let them go, I'm going to sacrifice them to the old general Sheng, the Sheng family army, and my father's heroic spirit!"
His bright eyes were full of hatred, and his fists were clenched with blue veins showing: "Young master, do you still remember how many scars there are on the old general? There are fourteen scars, these are deeply branded into the skin, it is him. Iron proof of loyalty! For the sake of this great Chu country, he was born and died several times. Even when the young master and his mother were in childbirth, he was entangled in the war, and he never saw the last side of his wife. In the end, he died at the hands of the emperor, The emperor's light-hearted words, a suspicious heart, can take so many lives of the Sheng family army! Young master, shouldn't such a person deserve to die!?"
Sheng Jiayan's eyes were as cold as a blade: "Of course he deserves to die, none of the people who harmed my father in the first place can run away. But what does this have to do with Meng's house? Why should Meng's house be involved. Since you are right The Sheng family army is loyal and loyal, and they should remember that there is a rule in the military, that it is not to kill innocent people indiscriminately!
A Rong stood up slowly, his voice was low and cold: "The Meng family is an opportunity, even if I am innocent, I have to take advantage of it. Because of the Meng family incident, the conflict between Concubine Yi and the queen has risen to an extreme. Behind him are most of the court forces, and Concubine Yi has been extremely favored in recent years. These two are indispensable to Xie Chongming. If they start troubles, the young master will fiddle around in the court, wanting Xie Chongming to make trouble. Chongming's life is better than death, isn't it very simple?!"
No matter how much he has to pay, Sheng Jiayan will not give in: "I finally warn you that the Meng family is my bottom line. If you count them in the future, don't blame me for not thinking about the past."
Sheng Jiayan was fortunate in his heart that his eyes and ears in the capital had played a role this time. If he hadn't found out that something was wrong with Meng Yizhen being brought into the palace, and sent someone to follow him, he would not have found that A Rong left the inn halfway and rushed back to the capital overnight to put something on Meng Yizhen's second prince Yi Rong Cheng.
A Rong has now been blinded by hatred, and he can do anything to achieve his goals. It is sometimes a bad thing to stay with such a person, so Sheng Jiayan's eyes show a bit of ruthlessness.
"Master, the Meng family is not your bottom line, the princess Laiyi is."
A Rong exposed it unabashedly, Sheng Jiayan was noncommittal, did not refute, but his eyes were sharper.
A Rong respectfully said to him: "Master, I don't regret what happened today, and there will be such an opportunity in the future, and I will not let it go. When A Rong climbed out of the pile of dead people, he vowed to The old general, avenge his father. Xie Chongming killed those who were loyal to him, and he doesn't deserve to have close people around him. Even if there are, I will divide them one by one. I can ignore Princess Laiyi and only beg the young master in the future Don't be soft-hearted because of her sometimes."
After he stepped back, Sheng Jiayan, who was sitting behind the case, did not speak for a long time.
After a long time, the cabinet in his house made a slight noise. Sheng Jiayan came back to his senses and said indifferently, "Come out."
Bai Gao climbed out of the cabinet and looked at Sheng Jiayan with a cold sweat on his face. Shouldn't the second young master kill him? He told him to hide here, but he seemed to have heard a lot of things he shouldn't have...
"Bai Gao, you heard it just now. Now I don't believe A Rong. I'm going to take part in the exam soon. When you're not in the mansion, you have to keep an eye on him for me. If he wants to do something to Qiqi, fly the pigeon immediately. Pass the book to me."
Bai Gao responded in a series of responses, and then hesitantly said: "Then... do you want to tell the princess that the fourth sister has been settled in the ventilation village safe and sound?"
"Don't do it for now, her mood has been fluctuating recently. I'm afraid that she will be more impulsive and reckless in the future, and let Concubine Yi and the others find out that Meng Yizhen is not dead, and the emperor is suspicious, and they will realize that this is a trap. You have to take more care of the Fengzhai side, don't let Meng Yizhen be wronged."
Bai Gao immediately said: "Don't worry, young master, there are some old and weak women and children in the stockade, and there is definitely no threat. Moreover, the current head of the stockade is Bai's younger brother Baihua. Except for being a bit mother-in-law, he is not at all. Not bad."
Sheng Jiayan nodded, pondered for a while, picked up a pen and wrote something on the rice paper, then rolled it up and put it in an empty bag. Handing it to Bai Gao, he said: "I turned around and came back halfway. The teacher and my classmates are still waiting for me at the station, so I will call for departure tomorrow, and I will be back in a month in less than half a month. When it comes to anything tricky, open up the kit and do as above."
Bai Gao put away the kit carefully, and had a sense of responsibility to be ordered in danger. He tightened his legs, expressing that he would resolutely complete the task and live up to Sheng Jiayan's entrustment.
The next day Sheng Jiayan got up early and went to say goodbye to Mrs. Meng, where he saw Meng Eqi with light blue eyes. Meng Eqi also looked at him with a slightly tired look, and it seemed that neither of them had a good rest.
"Grandmother, as soon as I leave this time, I may have to wait until the beginning of spring when I come back. Please take care of your body during this period, and honor you when your grandson comes back."
The old lady Meng leaned against the pillow and nodded weakly. She clasped Sheng Jiayan's hand tightly and said in a hoarse voice after a while: "Good boy, go, don't worry about the family, everything is fine."
Sheng Jiayan and Meng Eqi were coaxing Old Taijun Meng again. Meng Yizhen was frightened in the palace this time, and she was sent to Cheng'en Temple to be frightened. Moreover, the emperor had to take care of Concubine Yi's face, not so much. Quickly put Meng Yizhen back, in a few months, Meng Yizhen can be sent back. However, no one is allowed to visit during this period, otherwise they will be executed in accordance with the decree.
The old lady Meng didn't know whether it was because of her serious illness or what, but she believed all of these words. I saw tears welling up in her eyes and kept nodding: "It's good to live, it's good to live..."
Meng Eqi couldn't bear to look at each other, so she used an excuse to send Sheng Jiayan off and came out with the people, and she burst into tears.
Just as Sheng Jiayan raised a hand to help her wipe away her tears, Meng Qiqi simply threw herself into Sheng Jiayan's arms. Her attitude was reliant and delicate, completely different from the one Sheng Jiayan saw bossy at first. Same.
Such Meng Eqi is the one who no longer shows her teeth and claws. Sheng Jiayan enjoys this feeling, as if he is the only one she relies on.
I thought that Meng Qiqi wanted something to keep her back, but when she opened her mouth, a crying voice came from Sheng Jiayan's chest: "Ayan, you must pass the exam. Only if you pass the exam will you have a chance. Entering the imperial court, we won't have to let others handle it like this in the future."
This time, Meng Eqi really understood what it means to be affectionate and warm. Usually, when she was in the underworld, she didn't feel that she had no memory of her last life, and her life was not painful, because she had nothing in her last life. Both her parents died and followed Sheng Jiayan. At that time, she was alone. But in this life, in the beginning, she had everything, and now she is losing a little bit of everything. Meng Qiqi suddenly felt that all the comings and goings in the world made her feel tired.
At this time, how much she wanted to tell Sheng Jiayan their identities, and wanted to hear a voice that resonated with her in this vast world, but she couldn't, because I am afraid that Sheng Jiayan now sounds nonsense.
She could only hug Lord Yama tightly, thinking that he had protected her in the underworld for so many years, it was really not easy.
Yan Sha and Bai Gao wisely retreated a little further, leaving a separate space for them both.
"When I come back next time, can I get rid of the problem of crying all the time?" Sheng Jiayan's kind words came from above his head, Meng Qiqi looked up at him, and crashed into a pair of deep black pupils.
Meng Qiqi had nothing to say, and Sheng Jiayan continued: "If you can agree, I will take the exam well."
Meng Ei punched him angrily: "You actually threatened me with this. Change it, change it, no matter what, you will pass the exam..."
When she finished, a snot bubble appeared from her excessive force.
Sheng Jiayan couldn't help chuckling, and Meng Eqi wiped his nose with his sleeve angrily.
The two had another good conversation, and Sheng Jiayan went to the front yard because he had something to discuss with the eldest master. After he left, Meng Eqi kept watching his figure disappear at the hanging flower door before returning to the room.
Along the way, Yan Sha Wuxin said: "Sister, the slave girl just saw you standing with the second young master. You don't look like a brother and sister. They look like newlyweds who are about to part."
Meng Qiqi was startled, turned around and slapped her head sharply: "You hoof, dare to say anything, next time I'll send you to my grandmother and tell her to punish you severely!"
Yan Sha groaned in pain, pouted and touched her forehead: "Slave will not dare to..."
Meng Qiqi turned her head guiltily and walked forward quickly.
Newlyweds! ? How dare she! ? Even if she had ten courage, she would not dare to call him husband and wife with Lord Yama!
In the middle of the night, Meng Mansion was silent.
At night, the cold wind picked up, and two red paper lanterns were hung under the eaves of the house at the end of the alley, illuminating a cold light.
The door creaked open, and a carriage drove out of it.
