Seeing the look in her eyes, Meng Ke twitched the corner of his mouth without leaving any trace, then returned to his original expression, turned his head and said to the Yue Clan elder, "Master, according to your instructions, Xiao Yu's room is temporarily locked. "
The Yue Clan elder nodded. Although he was still kind to Meng Ke, he understood certain things in his heart, but he still had some grudges. The woman he had grown up watching turned out to be such a ruthless person. Such subversion was hard for the Yue Clan elder to accept.
With Meng Ke joining in, the group could only change their route to the small mourning hall and could not see Tie Qiu'er for the time being.
Tie Qiuer's mourning hall was set up in a very small way and did not attract anyone's attention. The elder of the Yue clan used the excuse of not alerting Meng Rong, so he did it very secretly.
In the entire mourning hall, there was only one elderly grandmother standing guard.
Seeing the Yue Clan elder and others coming in, the old nanny who was a little tired immediately stood up from the side and greeted them with her head lowered.
There was only a small memorial tablet in the mourning hall, and the room was hung with white cloth, making it look a little lifeless.
The elder of the Yue Clan seemed to be explaining to Yu Qingluo or Meng Ke, and said in a low voice, "It's hard to keep people here in such weather. Earlier, I had people put the children away." Carry it to the back mountain and lay it to rest."
This was Yu Qingluo's idea originally, so she naturally had no idea.
As for Meng Ke, it was confirmed last night that the child was indeed dead, and he was also the one. Everything the Yue clan leader is doing now is for Meng Rong, and he didn't pay much attention to this child in the first place. She was originally a crazy concubine, so such a hasty treatment is not inappropriate for her.
She followed him just to prevent Yu Qingluo from talking nonsense.
She didn't expect Yu Qingluo's mood to be so stable. She thought that since Yu Qingluo was helping to protect Tie Qiu'er, he must not agree to such an early burial.
Meng Ke couldn't help but squinted his eyes. Could it be that the jade pendant on his waist just now had an effect
Yu Qingluo only stayed in the mourning hall for a short while, then turned and left.
The group of people went to the hall to drink tea again. Meng Ke stood beside them, staring at Yu Qingluo with cold eyes.
The latter sneered secretly, and after telling the elder of the Yue Clan some things to pay attention to Meng Rong, he asked with a smile, "Elder of the Yue Clan, I heard that tomorrow is the biennial wine tasting meeting of the nobles, and restaurants from all over the world will gather together. The capital city is very lively. My child is having a bath, I wonder if I have a chance to go and see it? "
The wine tasting conference is also strictly guarded and you can't get in without an invitation.
Of course, it is not difficult for Yu Qingluo to get an invitation. There must be some from the famous clan elders, not to mention the clan leaders.
But how could she, a low-key person like her, go to the clan leader now
"Oh, look at me, I almost forgot about this." The Yue Clan boss slapped his head fiercely and whispered a few words to the housekeeper beside him.
Then he said to Yu Qingluo with an apologetic face, "I was talking about this in the morning, thinking that it was rare for Miss Tang to visit the Mongolian people, so why not go and see it together. At first, I was always worried about Rong'er's illness. I just wanted to ask for leave from the clan leader, and I didn’t plan to attend the wine tasting conference. Now that Rong’er has improved, as the elder of the Mongolian clan, it’s unjustifiable not to show up.”
As he spoke, the housekeeper who had just left came in again, holding a gold-plated invitation in his hand, and respectfully handed it to the Yue Clan elder's hand.
The elder of the Yue Clan continued, "Miss Tang is free tomorrow, so I'd better come to the house with the doctor. If we can make it, we'll go together. But I'm worried that something happened at the meeting there earlier. If I'm not at the house, the girl will Take this invitation and ask the steward to send a carriage to take you there."
With that said, he handed the invitation in his hand to Yu Qingluo.
Meng Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the gilded post and almost bursting into flames.
What does a woman named Tang do at a wine tasting conference? Could it be...
Meng Ke bit her lip suddenly, yes, since Meng Luoyu was saved by her. Then she must have seen the flower-shaped birthmark on her body, and Meng Luoyu must have told her about the importance of the flower-shaped birthmark.
No wonder, no wonder this woman surnamed Tang has been meeting the Yue Clan elder for so long and has stayed in the house for so long without doing anything, let alone bringing Meng Luoyu to the Yue Clan elder for recognition immediately.
It turned out that she was waiting for the wine tasting meeting tomorrow. She wanted to see the clan leader and bring Meng Luoyu to the clan leader in person.
Damn it, if that were the case, then things would really get out of hand.
As long as the clan leader knows that Meng Luoyu has a flower-shaped birthmark on her body, he will be protected by the clan leader. If Meng Luoyu reveals what she has done, even if there is no evidence, the clan leader will be suspicious and will send someone to investigate. When the time comes, it will be a severe blow to both her and her father.
What a thoughtful woman, she has been waiting for so many days for this opportunity to meet the patriarch openly.
Humph, she probably wants to get the attention of the clan leader, but she is just a woman who climbs the dragon and clings to the phoenix.
But... now that her son is in her hands, she wants to see how important that son is to her.
Meng Ke held the handkerchief tightly with his hands and stirred it twice.
Yu Qingluo thanked the Yue Clan elder and stood up to leave.
Meng Ke took a step forward and whispered, "Master, let me see Miss Tang off."
The elder of the Yue Clan frowned, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Yu Qingluo waved her hand and said with a smile, "Then let the young lady give it to you." She raised her hand and motioned to Qiongshan Medical Elder to stay.
She was unable to see Tie Qiuer, so she had to ask Dr. Qiongshan to review her. The child's injuries were unclear, and he would definitely not recover in a while.
The elder of the Yue Clan nodded, sent the two of them out of the hall, and watched from a distance as her and Meng Ke's backs disappeared little by little.
On the other hand, the doctor from Qiongshan looked indifferent and whispered, urging the Yue clan elder to take him to see Xiao Qiu'er.
Yu Qingluo and Meng Ke walked far away, and their pace slowed down.
Meng Ke's face darkened on the spot, and she no longer had the gentle and friendly look of the past few days. There was a hint of gloom in her voice, "Miss Tang, are you really going to go to the wine tasting conference?"
"What? Madam, didn't you hear what I just said clearly?" Yu Qingluo shook off the gold-plated post in her hand, fanned herself, and turned back to Hongye and said, "Come on, please repeat it to me, Madam. I think her ears may not be working well."
"You..." Meng Ke was angry, but when she thought of her precious son in her hands, she suppressed the anger in her heart and laughed, "Of course I heard it clearly, but I was just curious, Miss Tang. If you say you want to bring your children to participate, which child should you bring?”
As she said that, she giggled a few times and said, "By the way, I forgot to remind Miss Tang about something."
