When Mrs. Meng returned to the house, she told Marquis Yongchang about this matter. She marveled at the fate given by God and regretted Hongdou's death. Marquis Yongchang listened and felt that the Hao family had been too arrogant in recent years:
"Hao Zhengwei has gained great momentum over the years, but gradually lost his original intention. Now it seems that he is already a disaster!"
Mrs. Meng sighed: "It's just pity that a little girl like Chengchun, who is only a teenager, has to face these things!"
Marquis Yongchang listened, but didn't say much.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Meng realized that Marquis Yongchang was worried, so she couldn't help but ask.
"I went to see my father today and was reprimanded!" Yongchang Hou smiled bitterly, "In these years, the Yongchang Hou Mansion has not done anything, and the Ningyuan Hou Mansion has not fought or fought. Gradually, the civil servants have overtaken the momentum. Hao Zhengwei dared to be so arrogant.
Ultimately, it was because His Majesty had no one to use, and my father was angry and scolded me!"
Mrs. Meng lowered her eyes slightly: "My father-in-law is right. In these years, you have been running around for me, and you have not been able to give you more children. You have neglected the government and neglected to discipline the young minister. All of this
, it’s all my fault!”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Marquis Yongchang frowned, "Wanwan is also my daughter. If you are sad, I am sad too. Why is it your fault alone?"
Mrs. Meng lowered her head and said nothing, with a hint of sadness in her brows and eyes.
Just when Marquis Yongchang wanted to comfort him, someone suddenly knocked on the door: "Master Marquis, the Crown Prince is back. He said he has something urgent to tell you!"
Marquis Yongchang frowned, and his tone seemed a little bad: "What's so urgent that we have to talk about it so late? Can't we talk about it tomorrow morning?"
"The prince said that it is extremely urgent. If the lord marquis refuses to see him, he will break in later."
Marquis Yongchang sighed deeply, then stood up and went to get his robe: "Let him go to the study and wait!"
"yes!"
Mrs. Meng quickly got up and helped Marquis Yongchang get dressed: "He must be in a hurry because of something urgent. Please don't get angry with him."
"That kid doesn't know what he's doing all day long, what's the emergency?" Marquis Yongchang was annoyed. He just happened to be scolded by the old Marquis during the day, and now this unlucky boy is causing trouble for him again, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
Meng Shaoqing drove for several days without rest at night. He had to change horses several times before he hurried back in a hurry and hurried to the house before he even sat down.
While Meng Shaoqing was waiting in the study, pacing back and forth anxiously, the maid served a pot of tea: "Your Majesty, wait patiently, the Marquis will be here soon."
"I understand." Meng Shaoqing looked at the tea on the table, walked over, picked up a cup and drank it.
The tea was boiling hot, which made him even more anxious.
As he was walking around the room, he saw a painting on the desk.
The painting shows a woman wearing bright clothes and an angry horse. She is very flamboyant. The woman is extremely beautiful. Even though it is just a painting, people cannot help but be distracted.
"Why, I haven't seen the portrait of your grandmother?" Marquis Yongchang opened the door and came in, and saw Meng Shaoqing looking at the portrait in a daze.
"Of course I've seen it before, but... why are you here?" Meng Shaoqing looked at the portrait, a little surprised.
"Your grandfather came out of this room today. He looked at the portrait and scolded me all day long. In the end, your grandmother came to save me!" Marquis Yongchang sighed, and then walked up to Meng Shaoqing, "Tell me, what's the urgent matter?"
"Dad, take a look at this first!" Meng Shaoqing handed the bundle on the side to Yongchang Hou.
Marquis Yongchang was a little confused, but he still took it.
He slowly untied the baggage and looked at the clothes inside. He was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly raised his head: "Where did it come from?"
"It's Wanwan, right?" Meng Shaoqing looked at Yongchang Hou, his eyes full of hope. Even though he already knew the answer, he still wanted to confirm it again.
"Yes, it's from Wanwan, tell me where it came from!" Marquis Yongchang looked at Meng Shaoqing, his hands trembling slightly.
"Dad, Wanwan is at my aunt's house now!" Meng Shaoqing's eyes turned red, "That's right, the Lady Chun next to my aunt, the Lady Chun who became the concubine of that beast Su Xubai!"
"What?" Marquis Yongchang staggered.
Meng Shaoqing quickly stepped forward to support Yongchang Hou: "Dad!"
"You mean, Lady Chun next to your aunt is your sister Wan Wan?" Marquis Yongchang looked at Meng Shaoqing with disbelief on his face.
"Yes, it's Afu who lives next to my aunt. As usual, I checked her for old illnesses and accidentally found that she had a jade sign to welcome the Spring Festival. My aunt found me overnight, and I set off for Taiping County the next day.
I found these things in her adoptive parents' house!" Meng Shaoqing looked at Yongchang Hou, "Also, I just saw the portrait of my grandmother, and I can be sure that she is Wanwan, and her features are very similar to her grandmother's birthplace."
Marquis Yongchang felt weak all over. He sat down slowly and felt a little dizzy: "How is this possible? Your mother just told me that Lady Chun, we met her on the way back to Beijing. Why?
What a coincidence? How could it be her? How could we miss it like this?"
"Dad!" Meng Shaoqing walked up to Marquis Yongchang, "It's still too late now. Wanwan is at my aunt's house now. We can go and take her back now. Dad, Wanwan has been found!"
Marquis Yongchang sat there, his eyes red. He looked at Meng Shaoqing in front of him, looking at the son who looked very similar to himself, and reached out to hold his hand: "Okay, good boy, you have made a meritorious service. You have made a meritorious service!"
Go, go and wake up your mother, your grandparents, go, go quickly!"
"Dad, at this hour, don't disturb your grandfather and grandmother. I will go and talk to my mother tomorrow morning. Let's wait until tomorrow morning to talk about it. Mother, you know that temperament. As long as we have sex with Wanwan, she can't wait to see her.
Go immediately, I have already arranged for Wanwan's adoptive parents, and I will bring them over at dawn tomorrow!" Meng Shaoqing said quickly.
"Okay, okay!" Marquis Yongchang sniffed, "I'll bring them here early tomorrow morning. I don't know what kind of suffering Wanwan has endured for so many years. Such a small child is now so big!
"
Meng Shaoqing held Yongchang Hou's hand tightly, and his eyes were also red: "Actually, it's all my fault. I obviously thought she looked familiar the first time I saw her, but I didn't recognize her, which made her suffer so much for nothing.
, it’s all my fault!”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Marquis Yongchang patted Meng Shaoqing on the shoulder, "It's better than anything else if we get it back!"
