When Mei Min and Mrs. Li left the Jiang family, they happened to see Mrs. Jin fetching Wang Xiu.
Mrs. Li continued to say before getting into the car: "With Wang Xiu here, Jiang Qing's illness should be cured."
Mei Min snorted coldly: "They say her medical skills are very good, but we have never seen her before. Maybe she is just pretending."
Mrs. Li was displeased and scolded angrily: "Can you speak out of your mind? The reason why Wang Xiu is today is because she used her medical skills to save the eldest princess. She was pretending. You have to know that the eldest princess had a difficult childbirth. How could she pretend?"
"When a woman has a difficult childbirth, she often loses two lives. It was Gao Xian's first wife. If the difficult childbirth hadn't damaged her roots, how could she have died at such a young age when she couldn't get sick?"
Mei Min covered her ears and said impatiently: "Mom, stop talking. If you keep talking, I can only marry Gao Xian because I burned Gao Xian in my previous life."
Mrs. Li was so angry that her chest hurt, she sneered, and sure enough she stopped talking.
As soon as the mother and daughter returned to Mei Mansion, they went their separate ways. It seemed that neither one was convinced by the other.
Back in her hospital, Mei Min could only think about Jiang Qing dying. How could Wang Xiu revive her?
But...what if?
What if Wang Xiu really saved her?
And he felt distressed when he saw her pitiful look. Did he compromise?
Then didn’t Jiang Qing succeed?
No, how could she let Jiang Qing succeed?
Mei Min sat alone and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and asked Aunt Kong to find her little son.
Aunt Kong asked anxiously: "What do you want to do with Hong'er?"
Mei Min said angrily: "Of course I want to reward him with errands."
After saying that, he asked the maid Chunfang to take out fifty taels of silver notes first.
When Grandma Kong saw the banknote, she thought that the lady would not make any money. However, no matter how hard it was to make money, Grandma Kong was still moved when she saw the money.
She quickly went home to find her youngest son, but told him that no matter what the young lady said, he must talk to himself first and not make his own decisions.
Kong Hong was not taken seriously in the government, and he did not get as many errand opportunities as his brother Kong Da. He finally heard that the lady wanted to ask him to do something, and he felt happy, so he responded perfunctorily and hurried to the lady's yard.
Mei Min came to him to ask him to spread rumors. She said that the second young lady of the Jiang family was dying and would not live for a few days. She had been frail and sick since childhood. Even if she survived, she would never have a child in her life.
Kong Hong felt that this matter was too simple. To find someone to spread rumors, wasn't it just to find a few freeloaders and let them walk around the streets talking nonsense?
With these few words, I am afraid that by the end of the message, the second young lady of the Jiang family may have died long ago.
Kong Hong weighed the money in his hand and left the house in a flash, without even going to his mother.
However, after Kong Hong left, he saw that it was getting dark and he had not returned yet. At this time, Grandma Kong became anxious and wanted to ask Mei Min.
Although Mei Min felt uneasy and thought about whether Kong Hong had taken the money to gamble, she immediately said angrily: "He is a man who drinks tea and rests when he is tired from running outside. Grandma came to ask me if it is possible for me
Will you ask him to kill someone?"
Grandma Kong was so angry and impatient that she didn't dare to say anything more, so she went down wiping her tears.
Who knows, Haishi hasn't come back yet, and the door of Mei Mansion is about to be locked, when suddenly there is a noise outside the courtyard.
It turned out that there was an urgent summons from the palace, asking the old master to enter the palace quickly.
Mrs. Li thought something had happened in the palace, so she hurriedly dressed her husband and sent him out without thinking much.
She even went back to catch up on her sleep. When it was dawn, Hua Zimo came with a few guards and said he wanted to take Mei Min into the palace to answer the question. She was shocked and realized something was wrong.
Mei Min, who had just woken up, saw her mother hurriedly come in, her heart thumped, and she already realized that something was wrong.
But before she could say anything, her mother had already slapped her hard and asked angrily: "What did you do yesterday? The emperor wanted to call your father into the palace in the middle of the night, and he asked someone to pick you up again at dawn."
Mei Min covered her face in grievance and argued forcefully: "My mother and I haven't gone out since we came back from Jiang's house yesterday. What can I do? Can my mother stop beating me to vent her anger? The emperor asked my father to go, maybe because of other things.
.”
Seeing that she refused to admit it, Mrs. Li sneered and said, "Manager Hua is outside with Renhou. Go talk to him about your remarks."
After hearing this, Mei Min became panicked. Could it be that people knew that she spread the news about Jiang Qing's condition?
But Jiang Qing is already terminally ill. Even if she is found out, as long as she insists that her words are listened to by the servant, who can resist her?
In this way, Mei Min put on her clothes and thought of her words before entering the palace.
But she never imagined that she would meet Jiang Qing in the palace.
She stood gracefully outside the Qinzheng Hall, wearing a simple and elegant magnolia skirt and a white fox fur cloak. No matter how she looked at her, she looked like a beautiful and gentle lady that I felt pity for. And she was protected by someone beside her.
Parents, and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.
The eyes of the family members who looked over were full of disgust and hatred. Only Jiang Qing's eyes were as calm as water, as if she had expected this moment.
Mei Min's heart went cold, the handkerchief she squeezed was pinched through, and her nails were broken in the palm of her hand. Only then did she realize that she had been deceived.
Fell into Jiang Qing’s trap!
…
The emperor left the court, and Lu Yunhong came back very early.
He happily told Wang Xiu that they could also go to the market and see if they could buy some fresh winter bamboo shoots to make soup.
Seeing that he was rarely in such a good mood, Wang Xiu agreed.
The couple took Geng Su with them, and the three of them went there on foot instead of taking a car. They just regarded it as a walk.
However, as soon as I arrived at the market, I heard a lot of chatter among the crowd. There were many people in small groups, and everyone was in full swing. I didn’t know what they were talking about?
Wang Xiu asked in surprise: "Did something happen?"
Lu Yunhong hissed: "Stop talking and listen carefully."
Wang Xiu pricked up his little ears, but suddenly discovered that Lu Yunhong had really gone to buy bamboo shoots.
He was still bargaining with the boss. The boss looked up at him and gave him several bamboo shoots for free, as if he wanted to see more.
Wang Xiu: "..."
If she couldn't survive that day, she could consider asking Lu Yunhong to come out and show off her laughter.
As soon as the thought came up, Lu Yunhong looked over with a cold look.
Wang Xiu: "..."
In the market where people are coming and going, jeering voices come and go, but it is the same thing.
"Hey, did you know that the third lady of the Grand Master's Mansion actually spread rumors that the emperor's maternal ancestor, the second girl of the Jiang family, was frail and infertile, but the emperor found out about it and severely reprimanded her?"
"Hey, what do you mean? What I heard is that she even made her father faint with anger, and he hasn't left the palace yet."
"Hey, what you said is wrong. I heard that she has disliked Miss Jiang for a long time. When she was a guest of the Lu family, she even wanted to cause someone to fall into the water. Fortunately, the Lu family found out in time."
"I said, what do you all know? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. Here's the thing, isn't the emperor going to choose a concubine? The young ladies from the Jiang family and the Taishi Mansion are the most likely, but this Miss Mei San has hooked up with me
My senior brother didn’t like Second Miss Jiang, so he secretly spread rumors, and even if he wanted to harm Second Miss Jiang, he wouldn’t be able to enter the palace.”
…
Wang Xiu frowned upon hearing this, none of this seemed true?
At this time, Lu Yunhong came back with a pile of bamboo shoots and said, "How about it, is it enough?"
Wang Xiu glanced at the bamboo shoots in his arms and said bluntly: "Do you want to tell me how many bamboo shoots you have?"
Lu Yunhong: "..."
"Let's be honest, does this matter have anything to do with you?" Wang Xiu asked.
Lu Yunhong smiled and gave all the bamboo shoots to Geng Su. He held his wife's hand and said excitedly: "What are you talking about? I think the problem is that there is no chance to show off."
Lu Yunhong would not lie, at least not to her.
Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly: "Is that Jiang Qing?"
Thinking of Jiang Qing's strange behavior in the past few days, everything seemed to make sense.
Lu Yunhong smiled and said, "Just be lucky, the person she likes is Pei Shan, not me."
"Otherwise, what will your husband do? He will have to concentrate on how to save you in court!"
