After Xu Ziqing settled Su Xubai, he immediately went to see Meng Shaoqing.
Meng Shaoqing was reluctant to see him at first, but later made an appointment to meet him at a teahouse the next day. Although Xu Ziqing was anxious, he still agreed.
Xu Ziqing didn't sleep a wink that night, and went to the teahouse early the next morning to wait. However, Meng Shaoqing didn't arrive until almost noon.
"When did you know that Chengchun was your sister?" Xu Ziqing looked at Meng Shaoqing in front of him and asked directly.
"Is this important?" Meng Shaoqing looked at the tea soup in front of her, "No matter when I found out, she is still my sister, isn't she?"
"Is it important? Have you forgotten that it was you who persuaded Su Xubai to get married? It was you who kept saying that there was no other way. It was you who persuaded him!" Xu Ziqing looked incredulous, "If at that time, you would have known
Chengchun is your sister, you can completely prevent him from getting married, right? The legitimate daughter of Yongchang Houfu is enough to make His Majesty take back the imperial edict!"
"Not to mention that I didn't know she was Wanwan at that time, even if I knew she was Wanwan, I wouldn't have stopped this marriage!" Meng Shaoqing looked at Xu Ziqing in front of him and said coldly, "What you see is Su
Xu Bai is in pain, but what I see is that our life will be worse than death!"
"you……"
"Xu Ziqing, don't forget that it was him who ruined Wanwan's innocence in Jiangnan and forced Wanwan to be his concubine. My Wanwan suffered so much. All this, he
He is the culprit!" Meng Shaoqing stared into Xu Ziqing's eyes and said word by word, "Why don't you ask him, Su Xubai, what virtues and abilities does he have? He dares to let me kiss my sister and be his concubine!"
Xu Ziqing was speechless.
For so long, Xu Ziqing has actually been standing by Su Xubai's side, looking at these things in Su Xubai's way, looking at these so-called helplessness, so what he says is often in favor of Su Xubai.
, because he can see his deep affection and his despair, but it is true that he has never thought about Chengchun.
"If you know and want to know the truth about this matter, I can tell you, but if you are trying to comfort me as a bystander, then you might as well think about it first. If it is your sister who is missing, what if
"It's your sister who was raped and forced to become a concubine. If you can still sit here and say something to me, then I don't mind listening to what you have to say seriously!" Meng Shaoqing glared coldly.
Look at Xu Ziqing.
Xu Ziqing didn't open his mouth for a long time.
The more he has a younger sister, his younger sister has been raised with honor and dignity since she was a child. Even if she enters the palace, she is more than ten thousand people. How can she be a concubine for a young master from the Wuchang Hou Mansion? What's more, she has suffered so much.
bitter.
If it were him, he might have rushed to the Wuchang Marquis Mansion and chopped off Su Xubai's head with a knife. How could he still have the energy to sit here and drink tea slowly?
"Why don't you say anything?" Meng Shaoqing took a sip of tea, looked at Xu Ziqing in front of him, and sneered.
"What did you want me to say?" Xu Ziqing sighed, "You're right, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to sit here and talk to you!"
"This man is like this. He can't empathize with the wounds that hurt him!" Meng Shaoqing lowered his eyes, "Isn't it the same for me? I thought Su Xubai was an affectionate person before, but looking back
Only then did I realize that the real culprit was that bastard!"
Xu Ziqing was speechless and asked after a long time: "What are you going to do next?"
"Do nothing!" Meng Shaoqing laughed, "We just found my lost sister, so what should we do?"
"that's all?"
"Otherwise?" Meng Shaoqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "Chengchun is no longer here. When she left the capital for Lingnan, she was no longer Chengchun, but the legitimate daughter of Yongchang Houfu, Meng Duiwan! What we don't want to do
, I just hope that she can be the kind of person she wants to be in the future!"
Xu Ziqing looked at Meng Shaoqing for a long time, and then laughed helplessly: "Suddenly I felt that I was being narrow-minded. I actually thought that because of this matter, you would stand against the Wuchang Houfu and teach Hao Zhengwei a lesson!"
"Maybe!" Meng Shaoqing laughed, "Why don't you guess why Su Xubai and Hao Jiaojiao didn't enter the palace to express their gratitude today?"
The marriage between Su Xubai and Hao Jiaojiao was granted by His Majesty. After getting married, according to the rules, they had to enter the palace to express gratitude. However, early in the morning, people came from the palace and asked them not to enter the palace to express gratitude.
The emperor here did not allow Su Xubai and Hao Jiaojiao to enter the palace. The queen mother and empress over there sent people to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion early to invite people, and asked the old lady and Mrs. Meng to bring Meng Duiwan into the palace.
This was the emperor's disguised attempt to compensate Yongchang Houfu for the injustice and humiliation he suffered in this marriage. He was also trying to compensate Meng Duiwan.
But the old lady had a bad temper, and she directly rejected the Queen Mother's invitation. She even turned down the invitation for someone sent by the Queen, making it clear that this matter could not be resolved.
"What's your old lady's attitude?" Xu Ziqing suddenly felt a chill running down his spine as he thought of his grandparents who doted on his younger sister.
"You still don't know what kind of temper our old lady has?" Meng Shaoqing laughed, "My father said that Wan Wan is more like my grandmother than my aunt, but Wan Wan has been away from home all these years, so her temper has become softer.
It's just that the stubbornness in her bones is exactly the same as that of my grandmother, and my grandmother felt sorry for her!"
Xu Ziqing pursed his lips and said nothing for a long time.
"What? What are you worried about?" Meng Shaoqing looked at Xu Ziqing's face and couldn't help but ask.
"I always feel that your sister is an opportunity. I'm afraid the sky in Beijing is about to change!" Xu Ziqing frowned, "Our family has been silent for many years before the Hao family rose to prominence in the court. Now that your sister is back, Yongchang
Hou Bing will devote all his attention to the affairs of the court, and the purge of the court may come sooner than we imagined!"
"This is a good thing!" Meng Shaoqing sneered, "In recent years, my father and your father have just been doing nothing, but they are not dead. But, some people have taken advantage of this moment to muddy the waters and become rampant.
After so many years, it’s time to straighten things out!”
"You said it simply, how many people are involved!" Xu Ziqing lowered his eyes, "It's almost autumn, and the weather is about to change!"
"We always have to change. Instead of worrying unfoundedly, it is better to comply with God's will!" Meng Shaoqing took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Today's tea is good!"
