Meng Qiqi glanced at the reward placed in the center of the lobby, her cheeks flushed suddenly. Thinking of the closeness of the neck cross last night, she coughed lightly and shook her head with a smile.
Sang Niang beckoned people to carry everything away, Li Cailuan rushed out from the backyard and pulled Meng Qiqi's hand excitedly: "Mumen, you are really promising. I heard you taught Du Juan a lesson, right?" Li Cailuan There was a kind of pride in her beautiful face, she didn't care whether Meng Qiqi was favored by Marquis Changxin, but Du Juan, who had been against her all along, was shriveled in front of Meng Qiqi, and she felt very happy.
Li Cailuan took Meng Eqi's hand: "What's your plan next? Are you leaving from Zui Qinghou?"
Meng Qiqi thought for a while and shook her head.
After all, Sheng Jiayan didn't have time to take her away.
Li Cailuan was very happy after hearing this: "Okay, it's better not to leave for the time being, the New Year is coming soon, and I want to take you with me for the New Year. I thought of you as a lonely person, the New Year's time is too desolate Yes. Although you now have the love of Hou Ye, the Changxin Hou Mansion is such a big place, and it will definitely not be as good as Zui Qing Hou during the Chinese New Year. Don’t think that Zui Qing Hou is not as rich and noble as Hou’s Mansion, but It was a lot of fun on New Year's Eve."
Seeing her so enthusiastic, Meng Eqi smiled and nodded.
The days after that were colder than ever. Meng Qiqi and Sheng Jiayan met less and less often. Every time he came, he turned into Zui Qinghou's window in the middle of the night. Meng Eqi was sleeping soundly with her back to her back. In her dream, she suddenly felt that her chest was soft and being pinched by someone. She didn't have to open her eyes to know that Sheng Jiayan was playing a rogue again. She closed her eyes and continued to sleep, but Sheng Jiayan didn't let her sleep well, and kept bullying her over and over, until Liang Sheng Jiayan walked over the wall like a ghost and left.
Meng Qiqi was able to sleep well.
After sleeping until the bright light, Li Cailuan next door got up and started to hang his throat again, really pissed off Meng Qiqi. This was the case for several days in a row, Meng Eqi's spirit was not good, and he became like a wandering soul.
The closer the New Year is approaching, the harder it is for Meng Qiqi to see Sheng Jiayan. He seemed to be very busy. Every time he came to see Meng Eqi, he would take advantage of the darkness and leave before the light. Meng Eqi was worried about the affairs of Meng Mansion, so he patiently comforted her. Meng Shujian of Meng Mansion had already served as a civil official in the imperial court, and he would take her back to Meng Mansion to reunite with her family after the new year.
When Meng Qiqi asked about the palace, she wanted to know how Xie Chongming's health was, but Sheng Jiayan not only did not want to talk about it, but also perfunctory many times. Meng Qiqi had doubts in her heart, but she knew that if Sheng Jiayan didn't want to, he wouldn't say anything.
As the days passed, Meng Eqi suddenly realized something.
She has not come to Sunflower Water for almost two months.
This kind of discovery made her extremely terrified. After careful calculation, if she was really pregnant, that two months ago...that was the time at the Tangshan Inn.
Not so coincidental! ? It happened once, and Meng Eqi was restless all night. She wanted to find Sheng Jiayan to discuss what to do together, but Sheng Jiayan didn't know what chores to do, and didn't show up for many days.
Meng Eqi saw that she was eating more and more, occasionally lethargic, and even had symptoms of nausea and nausea. She was more and more sure that she was probably pregnant.
Meng Eqi clutched her flat stomach, she couldn't believe that she was actually pregnant with the flesh and blood of His Majesty the King of Hell in a human body.
Her heart was full of mixed feelings, mixed with joy and sorrow.
This child came at a wrong time. Although Sheng Jiayan has power, the situation is turbulent, and her uncle's health is getting worse and worse. She is pregnant, and there are many inconveniences...
Meng Eqi did not dare to ask Sang Niang to invite her husband, otherwise everyone would know about Sang Niang's character. She even dared not tell Li Cailuan, so she could only hide it from herself. But after the end of the year, she was three months pregnant. She wanted to keep the child, and if she didn't ask Langzhong to help him prescribe some birth control pills, she was very afraid that the child would just disappear.
It snowed for three days and finally stopped on the fourth day. Meng Qiqi took Yurun out on the pretext of going out to buy some items.
She first pretended to go to the jewelry store, picked up a gold hairpin and looked at it for a while, and she didn't put down the hairpin until the owner of the jewelry store started to roll her eyes. He plunged into the dress shop again, and picked half of the satin. The shopkeeper's mouth was dry, and Meng Eqi seemed to be restless and didn't hear a word. In the end, she came out under the resentful eyes of the store owner, hesitated for a while, and entered the pharmacy with a deep foot and a shallow foot.
The fragrance of Chinese herbal medicines wafted in the pharmacy, Meng Qiqi made a gesture and asked Yurun to wait under the eaves of the entrance porch.
Yurun frowned a little uneasy. Although she knew nothing bad would happen, but now she came out alone with Duan Niang. Duan Niang is now Marquis Changxin's favorite concubine. If something went wrong, she How to explain? So Yurun nodded falsely, but quietly followed.
Meng Eqi opened the heavy curtain, and the white-bearded man sat behind the counter to settle the account, squinting his dim eyes, trying to identify the numbers on the account. After Meng Qiqi entered, she looked around and found that there was no one else in the house except the old man. The stove beside him was still bubbling with medicine.
She stretched her neck and coughed in the direction of the old man. The latter was startled by her sudden voice, and the abacus almost fell off his lap. The old man raised his head and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of him, holding the counter to stand up: "This girl wants to see a doctor. Or take medicine?"
Meng Qi pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "I want to ask you to give me a pulse."
Yurun hid behind the medicine cabinet behind them, and when she heard Meng Qiqi's words, her eyes widened in surprise.
It turns out that the dumb girl is not dumb? !
The old man asked Meng Eqi to put his wrist on the mat, stretched out two fingers to hold Meng Eqi's pulse, and frowned to feel the pulse. Meng Eqi held her breath and watched the old man's expression nervously.
After a while, the old man withdrew his hand.
"How? Am I... am I pregnant?" Meng Eqi asked nervously.
When the old man was about to say something, a loud noise came from the backyard of the pharmacy.
"Fuzi! Fuzi?" Lang Zhong shouted a few times, but no one responded. He scolded him in a low voice, so he said to Meng Qiqi, "Please wait a moment, madam."
After that, he turned to the backyard while cursing.
Meng Eqi's heart seemed to be raised in her throat. She sat on the stool and waited for Lang Zhong to come back. The medicine jar beside her was still bubbling.
Suddenly, the voice of the old man stopped abruptly.
Meng Eqi held the hand for a while, and gradually became vigilant.
From her angle, she couldn't see what happened to the backyard, but the silence was terrifying. A trace of unease flashed in Meng Qiqi's heart, and she wanted to get up and leave, and come again next time. But as soon as she moved, she noticed that there was sword qi attacking from her left side, and Meng Qiqi jumped back, habitually protecting her abdomen.
The sword edge and her can be avoided.
"Who are you?" Looking at the man in black holding the sword in front of him, he was masked, and the blade of the sword in his hand was bloodstained. Meng Eqi asked coldly.
The man in black snorted coldly: "Looks like the master is right, and it's not really dumb. I'm sorry girl, we need to ask you to go back with me to find out."
Meng Qiqi slowly stepped back: "What's the matter?"
When she quickly retreated to the door, the man in black took out a jade pendant of Pixiu from his arms.
"Do you know this jade pendant girl?"
Meng Qiqi was stunned for a moment, and his escaping steps stopped.
Isn't this what she gave to Sheng Jiayan at the beginning? Later, Sheng Jiayan met an assassin with her, and she gave it to the woodcutter in the mountains. How could it fall into the hands of this person.
Seeing the change in her expression, the man in black knew that he was looking for the right person, so he put the jade pendant back into his arms: "Since you know that this is something belonging to the Marquis of Changxin, the girl should follow me honestly, otherwise the sword in my hand will not work. Be obedient and hurt the girl, it's not good."
Meng Qiqi weighed the two, she is now pregnant in nine out of ten cases, and she has no martial arts in this life. If she was alone before, she could ignore it. But now if she has Sheng Jiayan's flesh and blood, she will have worries...
The man in black took Meng Eqi and flew away, Yurun hurriedly got out of the medicine cabinet, she was trembling all over, and she was a little lost.
What should we do now? Dumb Niang is not dumb, and she got into such trouble inexplicably, who should she go to
Yurun just thought for a moment, and immediately had an idea. She hurriedly ran out of the pharmacy and rushed to the Marquis of Changxin Mansion according to the route she remembered.
Yurun is a very smart girl, she knows that it is useless to return to Zuiqinghou at this time. It is better to come directly to Changxinhou's mansion to ask for help. Changxinhou knows that Mu Niang has been kidnapped and will definitely save her, and Yurun will not be punished for her poor care.
I don't know when it started to snow, the snow like grains hit her smooth surface, and the cold wind cut her hair like a knife.
Yurun ran to Changxin Hou's mansion and was immediately stopped.
"Let me in, I have something important to report to Marquis! Let me in!" She struggled.
The two guards locked her shoulders one by one and pressed Yurun on the snow. Yurun was forced to touch the ground with her face, and there was a tingling pain on her skin, but she still struggled: "Let me go! I really something important!"
The leader of the guards was unmoved, and only said coldly: "Master Hou is not in the mansion, I will wait until Master Hou comes back."
Yurun was anxious: "It's about human life, let me see Lord Hou!"
The group of guards looked at each other and thought Yurun was ridiculous, so they simply threw her out of the alley.
Yurun threw herself on the cold and hard snow, and fell to the point where gold stars appeared in her eyes, and her forehead was scratched.
She got up with difficulty, a pair of black boots with snow foam stopped in front of her, Yurun raised her head and looked at the strange man in front of her.
"Why are you so anxious to see Marquis Changxin?" Nie Xuanlie asked.
He was just passing by and really didn't want to get involved in this business, but he saw Yurun being pitiful and couldn't help but come over and ask.
Yurun grabbed the leg of his trousers: "I'm a drunken marquis. Our girl was kidnapped. They mentioned Marquis Changxin and the jade pendant of Pixiu. I'm here to beg Marquis..."
Before she could finish, Nie Xuanjie immediately pulled her up from the ground, and he clasped Yurun's shoulders tightly: "You Pixiu jade pendant?"
