Due to the construction of Nansuo Imperial College in Daxing, many businessmen saw business opportunities and bought land and built houses here, and it soon became lively.
When Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu arrived in Daxing, it was dusk, and the golden light shrouded the small town. It looked calm and peaceful, and it was indescribably comfortable.
But in this place with its ancient atmosphere, the white flags flying high seemed out of place.
The Mei family did not expect that Lu Yunhong and his wife would arrive so quickly, almost together with the people who reported the news.
The person in charge was Mei Xinjue, the adopted son of the old master. His eyes were red, his face was sallow, and his hair was frizzy. He looked like he had stayed up late for several days.
He took Lu Yunhong and his wife to pay homage to the old master. Mrs. Li wore mourning clothes and stood in front of the funeral. She seemed very calm and returned the gift to Lu Yunhong and his wife.
Afterwards, she took Lu Yunhong and his wife to see the relics left by the old master, pointed to several large boxes and said: "Those are the only copies of ancient books that he collected during his lifetime, and he said that he would leave them to Mr. Lu. If Mr. Lu
If you don't like it, just burn it!"
Lu Yunhong said: "My condolences, madam! I will keep it well and make copies to all official schools in the future, so that all students in Yin Yin will know that this is the old master's ardent hope for them!"
Mrs. Li's face softened slightly, she nodded and said, "In that case, he can feel at ease even though he is under the Nine Springs."
"As for Xinjue, we and I are sorry for him. If it is convenient for Mr. Lu in the future, please take more care of him."
Lu Yunhong agreed, and Mrs. Li called Mei Xinjue and asked him to kowtow to Lu Yunhong.
Mei Xinjue was very obedient. After kowtowing to Lu Yunhong, he called him Brother Lu.
Wang Xiu suddenly realized that Mrs. Li was asking for help. Although she didn't know what Mrs. Li was going to do, she felt uncomfortable for no reason. When she looked away, she couldn't stop crying.
That night, they stayed at Mei's house.
Lu Yunhong accompanied Mei Xinjue to meet guests and handle funeral matters.
Wang Xiu was accompanying Mrs. Li in the back hall. When a female guest came, they came out to meet her.
Mei Min and Li Jin came in the middle of the night. Mei Min's crying made Mrs. Li tense up, her whole body trembled, and her eyes were red as if they were stained with blood.
She rushed out at once, her disheveled hair looked particularly scary, and she even scolded Mei Min who came to pay homage: "Get out, get out of the Mei family, we don't have a daughter like you!"
"Get away, never step into the door of the Mei family for the rest of your life, and don't dirty the place of our Mei family?"
The servants came to break up the fight, saying that it was not appropriate to make noise in front of the mourning hall.
Mei Min said: "Mom, are you blaming me? But that horse is crazy, what does it have to do with me? Why are all of you blaming me? Even Li Jin believes in me, why don't you believe me, why?"
Mei Min roared, and then she couldn't hold back her emotions. She completely collapsed and cried loudly in the mourning hall.
Mrs. Li used a mat to smack her so viciously that no one could persuade or stop her.
Wang Xiu thought it would be good to let Mrs. Li vent her anger, so he did not stop her.
But Mei Min didn't seem to want to be angry. With her eyes red from crying, she said fearlessly: "Just hit me, just hit me to death. I don't want to live anyway!"
Mrs. Li was so angry that she couldn't breathe, her eyes froze for a moment, and she fell straight back.
Seeing this, Wang Xiu quickly stepped forward to support her, pressed hard on the acupuncture points on her wrists, called for help from the servants, and carried Mrs. Li to the back hall.
After a while, Mrs. Li calmed down, but the first thing she said when she opened her eyes was: "Tell her to leave. Her father is mad at her to death. She has no right to stay here!"
Mei Min was standing at the door, with the tears on her face not drying yet. When she heard this, she sneered and said, "Outsiders can stay, but I can't? Do you really think that I am so hard-hearted that I won't feel uncomfortable even if my own father dies?"
After saying that, tears rolled down again.
Mrs. Li, however, seemed to have exhausted her lifelong cultivation and had no more forbearance. She spat directly towards the door: "Bah!"
This sound expresses the disgust in my heart to the extreme!
Mei Min rushed in like crazy and said to Mrs. Li on the bed: "Now that the eldest sister and the second sister have not arrived yet, if you drive me away, who will take care of the funeral? It is Mei Xinjue who is eating everything in and out, but
This is Mrs. Lu who you think you can trust!"
"Tell me who it is!"
Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows but said nothing. There were many people who were accidentally injured after trying to persuade someone to fight. What's more, she didn't want to persuade her at all, so there was no need to talk to Mei Min just for a word.
Mrs. Li's eyes turned cold, and she looked like she was going crazy again. She couldn't bear it and spit on Mei Min's face!
Mei Min, who had never been so humiliated, screamed in shock and disbelief!
Mrs. Li smiled, her eyes as cold as frost, and once again said "Bah!" in disgust!
This time, the naked disgust and repulsion made Mei Min completely collapse!
She shouted to Mrs. Li: "You are crazy, you are already crazy!"
"You are not my mother, you are a lunatic!"
"Come here, my mother is crazy, send her back to the backyard!"
However, none of the servants of the Mei family listened to her.
Mrs. Li smiled coldly, the corners of her sarcastic mouth curved in a strange way, her voice was cold, but her eyes held destructive hatred.
Wang Xiu knew something was going to happen, so he quickly stood up and said to the servants of the Mei family: "The old lady is not feeling well, please ask my aunt out first!"
The servants tried to pull Mei Min away, but Mei Min quickly broke away and said to Wang Xiu: "This is a family matter of our family. Mrs. Lu likes to make whatever changes happen. Why don't you stay in the capital? Why are you here?"
"Have you said enough?" Wang Xiu asked her, the anger in her heart beginning to explode.
Mei Min sneered, and since she didn't take Wang Xiu seriously in the Mei family, she said coldly: "No, what can you do to me?"
Wang Xiu stepped forward, without further ado, he slapped him on the left and then on the right!
My hands still hurt after the beating!
In Mei Min's shocked eyes, she pushed Mei Min hard and pushed her into the middle of the group of servants who had lost their backbone, and said angrily: "I can't even handle the affairs of the Mei family if I eat the food of the Mei family."
, what does the old lady want from you?"
"If you don't take my aunt down, gag her, and lock her up, you will all go to work as errands in the Li family!"
The servants are just waiting for this sentence. They are servants of the Mei family. My aunt is already married. If the old lady doesn't recognize her, she can't interfere with the affairs of the Mei family!
Now that Mrs. Lu has stepped forward to take charge, they no longer have any fear and just take action!
He pinched and twisted, no one showed mercy!
"you……"
"ah……"
"How presumptuous, I am the third young lady!" Mei Min panicked and struggled quickly.
Someone took off their shoes, rolled them up into a big ball and stuffed them into her mouth. The muddy smell hit her and she almost vomited.
But the servants ignored her and dragged her away. They deliberately fell her down several times and dragged her up again.
Repeated several times, really pressed to the ground and rubbed!
Wang Xiu looked at the backs of them leaving with a cold look on her face, thinking that she still couldn't figure it out at this time, everyone had already abandoned her relatives, who would still want to see her?
It’s simply unreasonable!
Soon, no sound was heard anymore, and Wang Xiucai turned around.
Mrs. Li was sitting in front of the bed, looking a bit crazy indeed, still spitting and cursing in a low voice.
Wang Xiu knew that she was having a stress reaction and it would take seven or eight days to recover, so he had to clear out the servants first.
When she helped Mrs. Li lie down again, Mrs. Li suddenly held her hand and said: "That child..."
"That child... that child... he is still alive."
"But you can't give it to her, you can't let her know where it is, you can't."
Wang Xiu's eyes tightened, knowing that she was talking about the child Mei Min gave birth to.
Soon, Mei Xinjue rushed over. He knew that Mei Min was gagged and locked up, but he didn't say anything.
He came to greet Mrs. Li, talked about the guests, and also said that Li Jin was also there.
Mrs. Li suddenly sat up and said with a sneer: "They work together, they are a perfect match."
Mei Xinjue did not dare to answer and hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Wang Xiudao: "Just listen to your brother Lu, he will arrange it."
After hearing this, Mei Xinjue breathed a sigh of relief, quickly thanked him and left.
