"Master—"
Meng Heng was about to salute when Jiang Pengji stopped him.
"There are no outsiders at the moment, so Cousin Heng doesn't need to be honored in private."
Meng Heng shook his head and said solemnly, "The etiquette cannot be abandoned. Although Heng is the cousin of the lord, he cannot easily overstep it."
No matter how good the relationship is, it can't stand slight neglect and rudeness. Meng Heng didn't want today's closeness to become "rude" in the future.
Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes secretly and sighed, "Cousin Heng is good everywhere, but his personality is too cautious."
Meng Heng didn't say a word. This prudence and observance has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and it can't be changed in a while.
If he hadn't been careful enough, I'm afraid he wouldn't have survived this age.
Jiang Pengji grabbed a few at random, leaned most of her body on it, and asked casually, "Cousin Heng, what do you want to know?"
Meng Heng was looking for himself, definitely not for business, but mostly related to the dungeon incident.
"I'm very happy. Cousin Heng still chooses to trust me." Jiang Pengji smiled. If Meng Heng was a little dissatisfied, he could ask Nie Xun, but he didn't wait until Meng Zhan's funeral was over. "Since Cousin Heng is sincere Treat me with your heart, and I can't lie."
Meng Heng sat upright, like a green bamboo that does not bend in the wind and rain, and Jiang Pengji admired that tenacity and integrity.
"Nie Chengyun—he, is he the bead of the Meng family outside the sea?"
Meng Heng had already guessed that Nie Xun was related to him by blood, but he had not guessed that the other was the younger brother of his own mother.
Jiang Pengji sighed, "This is a long story. Cousin Heng may not know that Meng Yi is not the child of my aunt."
"What?" Meng Heng's eyes widened in shock.
Jiang Pengji said, "At that time, my aunt and Meng Zhan's concubine were pregnant at the same time, and the two gave birth to a son at the same time. In order not to feel wronged by the children of the concubine, Meng Zhan tacitly let the concubine exchange the concubines. The real child of the concubine. After being replaced by a concubine, he was 'died' within two days. The servant girl buried the baby in a hasty manner, but luckily it was dug up by a passing servant girl and sold to Zhongzhao—"
Meng Heng's hands clenched into fists kept shaking, and at this moment, he was almost at a loss for words.
"Nie, Nie Xun—is he that kid?"
No wonder-
Meng Zhan, Meng Ye and their concubine were like a family, but Meng Heng always wondered why his father let his second son be raised by his concubine—
The crux is here!
"I think Aunt Shu didn't want your situation in Meng Mansion to be more difficult, so she didn't tell you these old things." Jiang Pengji took a sip of sake, the faint wine spread in her mouth, with a little bit of bitterness, "At first, I haven't recognized Nie Xun's identity, I just think his profile looks like someone, and I can't remember who this person is for a while. Later, I heard that Nie Xun is very close to you, and Nie Xun came to Dongqing for the purpose of Looking for relatives - at this point, I can confidently confirm his identity, he is the real Meng Ye!"
Meng Heng shook his head.
"No—Nie Xun is Nie Xun, how can the name Meng Xun defile him?"
After receiving too much information in a short time, Meng Heng couldn't calm down.
"The lord already knew Nie Xun's identity, so the matter of the dungeon - you also deliberately facilitated it?"
Jiang Pengji curled her lips.
"Cousin Heng is heartbroken. Do you suspect that I deliberately pushed you to death?"
Meng Heng shook his head weakly, looking weak, as if he had been drained of energy.
"The lord's martial arts are strong, and the distance was not far at the time. You have been watching from the sidelines, so you can be sure. The sudden violent rise of the Meng family is not something outsiders can control - Heng is just uncertain, in your calculation, you are Do you want Heng to kill Patriarch Meng?"
Jiang Pengji frowned, "Let you kill? How is this different from killing you personally?"
Meng Heng is different from Nie Xun. If Meng Heng accidentally kills Meng Zhan by mistake, this person may be depressed for a lifetime.
"Master, do you want to abolish Nie Xun?"
"Cousin Heng is this soft-hearted?"
"Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?"
Meng Heng did not deny it.
He really had a good impression of Nie Xun. The other party looked similar to his mother, which added a bit of intimacy.
Meng Heng was surprised and delighted when he suddenly heard that he was his younger brother, and for a while he was really ruthless.
Meng Heng's lips moved, and his eyes were full of complexity and struggle.
Although there is no deep brotherhood, Meng Heng can't do it if he abolishes the other party as soon as he comes up.
Jiang Pengji sneered, "Nie Chengyun is not Cousin Heng, his heart is far colder than your phenomenon. A father who is born but not raised, Meng Zhan is not only a biological father, but a life-and-death hatred for him. Enemy. He has offered advice to Bo Gao many times, and he has blocked me again and again. This dungeon can not only end the revenge between me and Meng Zhan, but also sound the alarm to Nie Xun. You have a clear conscience. If you really say sorry to anyone, it is also sorry to cousin Heng... No matter how bad he is, he is still your father."
Could it be that only Nie Xun was allowed to plot against her, and she was not allowed to plot against Nie Xun
Furthermore, Jiang Pengji's real purpose was to make Meng Zhan die, and Nie Xun just did it by the way.
How dare Meng Heng respond
What Meng Zhan did was not just personal grievances, he also touched the righteousness of the family and the country, enough to drag the entire Meng family into a forbidden place that would never end. Even if Meng Heng still had a trace of father-son love in his heart, he would not lose his head and intercede for Meng Zhan.
The Lord is willing to be frank with him, which is already a rare trust.
Jiang Pengji didn't force him either, Meng Heng would figure it out.
After a while, Meng Heng said, "My lord, then the previous arrangement—"
I originally wanted to divide Huang Song and Nie Xun, but using Nie Xun as a breakthrough, they split from the inside, causing discord between their ruler and minister.
Now this thing happened-
"Naturally, we have to continue, but I'm not a ruthless person. If cousin Heng doesn't want to, I won't force you."
Meng Heng shook his head, naturally he didn't mention this for the sake of picking up a son in the middle.
"It is most appropriate for Heng to do this matter. The lord has given Heng a heavy responsibility, and Heng Zi should report it as a national scholar."
Meng Heng is not stupid, and the feudal hegemony is not a child's play.
The brothers Feng Jin and Feng Jue parted ways because of this. What is he and Nie Xun
Meng Heng had solved it, but Nie Xun's troubles had only just begun.
After the dungeon that day, Feng Jue informed Huang Song of his guess.
Huang Song was stunned.
"You mean - is Cheng Yun from the Meng family, or Meng Heng's younger brother? Why does he hide such an important matter?"
"Most of the time."
It would be fine if Nie Xun was not an insider, but Yuanxin had told Huang Song that Nie Xun called Meng Heng "eldest brother"!
When contacting Nie Xun's reaction in the dungeon, the other party clearly knew it for a long time, but he refused to disclose it.
What's your intention
"Since Yun has found his close relative, Song is also happy for him. As for hiding it like this?"
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, Huang Song felt uncomfortable.
Feng Jue said, "My lord, this matter is of great importance. Please make an in-depth investigation before making a conclusion."
Huang Song naturally listened to Feng Jue's persuasion, but he was always unhappy.
