"What—" Miss Meng San really lost her composure this time. She felt a fear that something had been revealed in her heart, and her body couldn't help shaking slightly. Perhaps it was because she reacted too much that she attracted everyone's attention. "No, I mean, how could Second Sister encounter a poisonous insect, and it's so serious?" After she finished speaking, Miss Meng San wished she could slap herself in the face.
"Yes, how did I encounter a poisonous insect? I want to know, too. Sister Yao, can you help me analyze it?"
Xiaocao next to him suddenly started coughing and his face turned red.
Han hurriedly patted her on the back and said, "Oh, what happened?" She was very worried.
Xiao Cao finally recovered, a little embarrassed, "Mom, I just got choked suddenly, it's okay." It was indeed embarrassing to be choked by saliva, but it was not her fault, Yao Jie? Who made her have a bad association.
After making sure that she was fine, Madam Meng's eyes fell on Meng Xinyao again, "Sister Yao, help your aunt analyze this."
Meng Xinyao's heart was beating like a drum. "I, I don't know."
How could this happen? How could this happen? According to her plan, this girl would be infected with a dirty disease, and she would keep it to herself, not daring to make it public, not to mention letting outsiders know, even her family members would not dare to say it out loud. Ruining Meng Xinlan's reputation was naturally not her goal. After all, if Meng Xinlan's reputation was ruined, she would not be able to get away with it.
However, facing the strength of the Wen family is different...
The poison of the poisonous insect is neither strong nor weak. No medicine is needed and the patient will recover in a month or two. The reason why it is called an internal organ disease is that Meng Xinlan dare not seek medical treatment from other doctors. Something is added to her medicine. Even if the patient recovers after a while, her skin will be completely ruined.
An ugly monster would be lucky enough to live a life of seclusion and worship Buddha for the rest of his life!
"Aunt, who showed it to my second sister? Did I make a mistake?" Meng Xinyao spoke cautiously.
"I also hope that I am wrong. Isn't it time to ask for Doctor Wu again?" Mrs. Meng ignored her previous question.
Doctor Wu is the doctor that the Meng family usually employs and trusts.
Meng Xinyao's legs went weak and she almost lost her balance.
"Sister Yao, what's wrong? You don't look well." Mrs. Meng asked with concern.
Therefore, once this person was stimulated, his rank was promoted at an extremely fast speed.
Meng Xinyao shook her head. "No, it's okay. Aunt, there's nothing I can do to help my second sister. I'll take my leave now."
"What are you busy with? Are you busy cleaning up and destroying evidence? Oh, I didn't expect that you, Yao Jie, are so brave that you dare to kill people to silence them. If that's the case, I can't let you leave." Mrs. Meng said quietly.
"Aunt, what are you saying? I, I don't understand."
Mrs. Meng's patience ran out. She quickly stepped forward, raised her hand and slapped Meng Xinyao in the face, "You evil little devil, how has Xinlan ever wronged you that you dare to hurt her like this?"
"Aunt, I didn't..."
Madam Meng slapped him again with her backhand. "Go on quibbling. If you dare to say one more word, do you believe that I will make you and your mother get out of the Meng family? I'm sure you know what kind of person your grandfather is."
Meng Xinyao covered her face, her body shaking with fear.
Mrs. Meng was disappointed and heartbroken. She had originally held a little hope, but it was obvious that Meng Xinyao's reaction had explained everything. The Meng family had only two branches, one with a concubine, and both wives and concubines had children. Even so, all the children added up to only six or seven. She had been brought up since childhood and would not treat the children of concubines harshly. She treated the children of the second branch as her own children, but what did she get in return? Her daughter was almost destroyed in the most vicious way!
"Meng Xinyao, I have never quarreled with anyone in my life, let alone fought with anyone. But today I did it all at once to you. Does this count as your ability? - Someone, lock her up in the ancestral hall and send someone to watch her. When all the family members are back, report to my father-in-law and then make the decision."
The servants in the house realized belatedly that it was the Third Miss who had caused their daughter to suffer so much?! Although it was unbelievable, they were more angry. Their daughter was so good to the Third Miss. She always thought of her when she had good things. She would never miss her even if she didn't want them. But she ended up raising an ungrateful beast!
It also made them think that they really didn't take good care of the girl.
When he stepped forward to drag Meng Xinyao away, he was not polite at all.
Meng Xinyao, on the other hand, was obedient at the moment, or rather, she was at a loss. She had no idea how to react. Also, she had not considered that this matter would be beyond her expectations, and there would be a lot of evidence left behind. She had no chance of denying it.
After all, she is still too immature, and other aspects are not enough to match her cruel heart, so it seems normal for her to fail.
The people serving Meng Xinyao obviously knew what their girl had done. As accomplices, it might not be the first time that they helped the tyrant, but in the past they had only done minor things. This time was different. If the matter was exposed, they would only end up worse than their master, so let alone consider their master, they were all trembling like sieves.
The only head nanny who could still calm the situation stepped forward to stop them, but before she could say anything, she was beaten back by the angry maids and nannies. The master had done something wrong, and it was all instigated by the servants. They didn't dare to do anything to the third young lady, but couldn't they do something to someone of the same status
Simple people are also easily swayed by emotions, and they are prone to lose their rationality when they are angry. People who lose their rationality are often very tough. This is well verified now.
After watching such a farce, Meng Xinlan was given medicine again and drank what she was supposed to drink. It was almost lunch time. Even though the masters of the Meng family who went out had basically not returned yet, the atmosphere in the house was not so good. Except for Mr. Meng, who didn't want to affect his good mood and kept it secret for the time being, everyone else knew that the third girl poisoned the second girl.
This kind of thing had never happened before, so everyone was a little nervous.
The result of not controlling his emotions was that when Mr. Meng was having dinner with Wen Renyang, he noticed something was wrong, "What's going on?" How could they behave like this when there were guests at home
Mr. Meng has devoted his entire life to studying and teaching. He is a very upright person at heart and he does not tolerate any injustice. The good atmosphere in this family is all due to his influence. He is not a dictatorial person. On the contrary, he is usually very kind. However, he is still the absolute authority in the family, and everyone else has to restrain themselves carefully.
Now that he was asking, the people around him did not dare to hide anything and whispered it briefly in his ear.
Mr. Meng's face suddenly turned bad. Meng Xinlan was his favorite granddaughter, and his grandson sometimes had to stand aside. He knew Meng Xinlan was sick these days, but as a grandfather, it was not convenient for him to go to see her. However, his eldest daughter-in-law assured him that it was nothing, but she might get better slowly, so he just gave her a few words of advice and didn't take it too seriously. Now he was told that it wasn't just a disease, but there was something else going on? !
However, he, like most scholars, was very concerned about his reputation, so when Wen Renyang was present, he did not lose his temper.
However, although it was not obvious on his face, his good mood was completely wiped out.
Not long after the meal, Han prepared to take her son and daughter home. She was not interested in getting involved in the rest of the Meng family's affairs. Even if it concerned her future daughter-in-law, it was just someone else's family affair, so she asked someone to invite Wen Renyang.
At another time, Mr. Meng would probably have kept the person, but now, he just let him go without hesitation.
After Wen Renyang went over, Han was about to take them away, but Xiaocao pulled Wen Renyang back, "Xiao Si, go and say a few words to Miss Meng. Since you are here to visit a patient, how can you just leave without saying a word?"
"Xuan'er, this may not be appropriate." Han disagreed.
"Mom, they are just talking behind the screen. They are an engaged couple, so what's the big deal?"
Han was helpless. If it were someone else, he might be able to put on a strong attitude, but with Xiaocao, let alone such a small matter, he would probably agree to anything, no matter how big the matter was, except for the things he absolutely could not do.
Xiaocao pulled Wenren Xiaosi and gave him some lectures in a whisper. Wenren Xiaosi was very obedient and nodded nicely.
As for this girl, she could barely accept being seen by her future mother-in-law in her ugliest appearance, but she would definitely not want to be seen by her fiancé. The screen actually reduced Meng Xinlan's nervousness.
Wen Renyang followed what his fourth sister taught him and showed great concern for Meng Xinlan, asking her to take good care of herself and get more rest.
Wen Renyang had always spoken slowly, but now her voice sounded soft and gentle. Women tend to be shy in front of their fiancés, and now she felt even more shy, yet sweet at the same time.
Meng Xinlan was originally a little confused about love, but now she seems to have come to understand a little.
The others didn't get too close, but they could hear roughly. Han was a little bit unbelievable. When did her nerdy son become so good at coaxing girls? Her eyes couldn't help but fall on Xiaocao.
Xiaocao looked serious and said, "I didn't do anything, don't look at me."
After leaving the Meng family and before getting on the carriage, Han couldn't help but teasing her son. As a result, Wenren Xiaosi's face turned red and his heart didn't beat. He seemed to be daydreaming somewhere again. Han was upset. This brat was still the same and hadn't changed at all.
After getting on the carriage, Han said, "Miss Meng hasn't married yet, but Xuan'er treats her very well."
"Mom, I'm doing this for Xiao Si. After marriage, Miss Meng will definitely not treat Xiao Si badly, but there should be a big difference between giving willingly out of affection and giving just out of wifely responsibility. With Xiao Si's personality, how much affection can she have for Miss Meng? Even if Miss Meng has read a lot of books, can she be compared with Xiao Si? Adding fragrance to the beauty with red sleeves and purely discussing knowledge are two different things. For the former, can you expect Xiao Si to do it? Mom, put yourself in her shoes, how would you feel?"
Han really thought about it and couldn't help but shudder if her husband was her son.
"So, before they get married, and Miss Meng doesn't know Xiao Si's true nature, let her deepen her feelings for Xiao Si. If she can fall deeply in love with him before they get married, then after they get married, when she finds out that Xiao Si is not what she expected, as long as Xiao Si doesn't do anything to let her down, she will take care of Xiao Si wholeheartedly and considerately. A girl like Miss Meng won't easily come into contact with a man outside of her family, but if it's her fiancé, it's justifiable to spend time with him occasionally and give him some small gifts. A girl like that is easy to please."
Han looked at Xiaocao with a strange expression, as if saying: I didn't expect you to be such a person, Xuan'er.
Xiao Cao was a little embarrassed. After all, teaching her brother to flirt with girls was a little... But if he flirted with someone he was going to marry, he shouldn't be considered a scumbag, right? Xiao Cao comforted herself in her heart with righteous words, but her eyes were a little erratic.
Han laughed, pulled her to her side, and held her to let her lean on her shoulder. This was her daughter, even if it was a little out of line, it was completely acceptable. What could a mother do? Of course, she would spoil her and indulge her.
Xiao Cao was not used to Han's intimacy at first, but now she feels relaxed and even acts like a spoiled child. It didn't take long.
"Mom, these two sisters who grew up under the same roof, even if they occasionally quarreled, or even fought, and their relationship was not harmonious, why would they resort to such cruel means to harm others? How deep is the hatred and resentment?"
"Xuan'er, although you have experienced a lot, the environment you have been in has always been relatively simple. You don't know how complicated and changeable a kind heart is. The most vicious means and the most vicious people may not be out of hatred or resentment. Sometimes it may just be out of jealousy, or wanting to grab things that do not belong to them. When Miss Meng San entered the house, her face was a little flushed. I'm afraid she was in a hurry before entering the house. From her actions, we can tell that it couldn't be for her cousin. Her attention is completely on me, and she is trying her best to show herself. If there is no reason, she would show off in front of me. Therefore, the reason why she attacked her sister is too easy to guess." Han said with a hint of sarcasm.
Xiao Cao was silent for a moment, "So, she has taken a fancy to Xiao Si, and attacked my sister just to steal my sister's fiancé?"
Han looked at Xiaocao's incredulous expression and said with a smile, "What's so strange about this?"
"No, mother, just like Xiao Si, I think if it weren't for his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, he probably wouldn't be able to find a wife. Why does he sound so popular?"
"How is your brother? Xuan'er, do you dislike him?" Han looked gloomy.
Xiao Cao thought Han was angry, "No, why would I dislike him, it's just..."
"My dear Xuan'er, please don't tell the truth."
Xiaocao: “…”
Han burst out laughing, "I know what Xuan'er means. This blood relative is different from the person next to you. Speaking of Yang'er's personality, to be honest, he is really not popular with girls. But Yang'er is clean, knowledgeable, and has a good family background. In the eyes of others, he is a very good man."
