Chapter 26: When a person is about to die, his words are evil
Mengchun's uncle lived in Hejialing, fifty miles away, and the coachman took most of the day to get there.
Uncle He heard that Mr. Liu wanted to buy his niece to a brothel, so he picked up a kitchen knife and wanted to settle the score with Mr. Liu.
It was Mengchun's aunt who stopped her, "The child just came out of the fire pit. If you make such a fuss, don't we all know that Mengchun is with us? Do you want to save her or harm her?"
Seeing how much the He family cares about Mengchun, Mengying feels relieved.
Before leaving, he left fifty taels of silver with Mengchun.
"Second sister, I don't have much money in my hands now. If you have difficulties in the future, please find someone to bring me a message."
Mengchun's eyes filled with tears of gratitude. He took Mengying's hand and said, "Sister, thank you. My father and the others are sorry for you and uncle. Thank you for ignoring the past grudges."
Mengying comforted: "That was all done by them. I know it has nothing to do with you. Just live a good life at your uncle's house. I'm leaving."
When Mengying returned home, it was already dark.
Qing Luo waited for her at the door anxiously, and whispered in her ear: "Girl, what's wrong, Shi Lanxiu escaped?"
Mengying frowned and let out a "tsk" sound. She was so busy with Yao Mengchun that she actually forgot about her.
"How did she escape? She is pregnant with Liujia, where can she escape to?"
"I heard that the second master's housekeeper took her to escape towards Qingzhou. Hongying is familiar with Qingzhou, so she took Liu Fu and chased her."
Mengying nodded, knowing that it was unlikely to catch her.
However, this Shi Lanxiu is really promising. She seduces the housekeeper every time, and she is really able to talk to him who is half buried in the ground.
At dawn, Hongying came back. As expected, she failed to catch up and lost her.
Hongying felt a little guilty, and said with red eyes: "Girl, I didn't watch you, please punish me."
Meng Yingyun said calmly: "Just run away. Even if I catch her, I can't kill her. I have to raise her, which is a waste of food."
"But..."
Hongying knew that Shi Lanxiu must be a very relevant person, otherwise the girl would not be able to let herself keep an eye on her.
"I'm tired after a long night, go to sleep."
Mengying waved her hand and Hongying retreated.
Qingluo held the handkerchief in both hands, her eyebrows almost twisted together nervously.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, there's nothing to worry about."
Seeing that Mengying really didn't care, Qingluo relaxed her brows and walked out.
Although Shi Lanxiu has no direct blood feud with Mengying, she is Song Decheng's accomplice.
Mengying didn't want to kill her, but she didn't think of how to deal with her either.
Now that she has run away, she is not worried, because in a year, Qingzhou will be a purgatory on earth, who will have the mind to care about those lonely ghosts?

The day after Yao Mengchun was sold, Yin couldn't hold on any longer.
On her deathbed, she wanted to see Yao Mengying.
Mengying didn't want to go at all. This Yin family is the daughter of Zhuge, the second and third bedrooms. Who knows what she is holding back.
However, Yao Chengnian came to see her again and again, saying it was her grandmother's last wish.
Yao Qingshan advised: "Then you go ahead. Even if a person is about to die, he may speak kindly, or if there is something he wants to say to you, it may not be possible."
Mengying couldn't refuse, so she took Qingluo and followed Yao Chengnian to Mrs. Yin's bedroom.
Mengying asked Qingluo Stool to wait outside the door and followed Yao Chengnian in.
In the past, Mrs. Yin loved cleanliness and incense.
Whenever Mengying went there when she was a child, the room was filled with white sandalwood, her hair was combed meticulously, and she was sitting on the carved bed, with servants crouching next to her, passing water and handkerchiefs.
If you didn't look at the face, you would think you were a lady from some family.
Now her hair is disheveled, her face is thin, and she is lying ill in this humid and low wing room. There is a choking smell in the room, and Mengying holds back her nausea so as not to vomit.
Yin said angrily: "Brother Nian, please go out. I have something to say with your eldest sister."
Yao Chengnian slowly backed out and closed the door.
There is a beam of sunlight shining through the Korean paper outside, and Mengying's shadow is reflected on the opposite wall, like a giant.
"The Korean paper on my window was saved in the past and was just put on yesterday. Girl Ying, look at how bright the room is illuminated." Mrs. Yin stared at the window and said.
"Old madam, please tell me what you have to say." Mengying really didn't want to play riddles with her in this disgusting room.
"You did it, right?" Yin asked confusedly.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Mengying replied impatiently.
"I should have thought long ago that you asked Song Rong to do the second child. Unfortunately, I just figured it out today."
Yin's eyes glanced at Mengying, then looked at the ceiling.
"Come closer, don't be afraid. There are only two of us in this room. I just want to be a sensible person." Ms. Yin held the bed with her thin hands and struggled to sit up.
Mengying stood there without moving. She thought about Yin's question and replied: "I don't know why you say that. I can only tell you that it has nothing to do with me."
However, I also have something to ask the old lady: "How did my grandmother die?"
Ms. Yin sneered and said: "You are so smart and you can't think of it? Of course it was me who did it."
Meng Yingying's eyes gradually turned cold, and she asked sternly: "Why did you do this?"
"Why? Because your grandfather was supposed to be my husband, and Ms. Cui used her money to seduce him. I just get back what I deserve. What's wrong with that?"
"You still think it's right, that you are going to kill a life for your own selfish desires? Have you ever thought that your second uncle was killed by your greed!"
"Nonsense, it's you, you killed my son. But don't be complacent, do you think you have won? You are doomed to be a lone star. You will not be able to get married in this life. You just wait to die of old age at home! Haha.
Haha"
Mengying looked at the crazy old lady in front of her and shook her head.
She turned around and pushed the door open, but there was no one in the yard, and Yao Chengnian was nowhere to be found.
Mengying waited until outside the hospital when she saw Hongying running towards here from a distance.
"Why are you here, where is Qingluo?"
There were people in the yard just now, but in the blink of an eye there was no one left. This is weird.

"Qingluo's head was knocked unconscious by someone. The mother in this yard sent it back and said it was a tile that fell from the house. Girl, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, let's go back."
Mengying looked at Mrs. Yin's house and sighed in her heart: Jiang is still too old, so she decided to do it herself.
Some people repent on their deathbed. This Yin lady is so evil that I am afraid even the Buddha would sigh after seeing her.
*
That night, Mrs. Yin died.
When collecting the body, the second lady Liu discovered that the old lady had left a note on the ground, which read: "Mengying harmed me."
Mrs. Liu reported Mengying to the Yamen. Because there was no proof, the Yamen only summoned Mengying to come to court.
However, the people who worked for the second house all said that they were not present at the time, not even the maid. Without witnesses, the case would go unsolved.
Although this is unfounded, as the saying goes, good things don’t go out and bad things spread thousands of miles.
The news that this granddaughter murdered her step-grandmother spread like wildfire. Everyone in the five villages and eighteen ridges knew that the daughter of the Yao family was vicious. First she beat her uncle and then killed her step-grandmother.
For a girl who has not left the court, a good marriage is unlikely, and Yin's move is really heartbreaking.
After hearing this, Yao Qingshan cursed. But it was too late to regret, as the bad reputation was already established.
But Mengying didn't care. She didn't want to get married, let alone stay in Qingzhou. No matter what others said, it had nothing to do with her.
Mrs. Yao was also so angry that she jumped up and down. What she was most worried about was not that Mengying would not be able to marry, but that it would affect her son's reputation and make it difficult for him to find a wife in the future.
"That old pious woman should really be exposed to the wilderness. And Mengying, that mourning star, if she hadn't caused trouble several times, how could she be so derogatory? How can my Brother Yao be so good now?
”
Mrs. Hu consoled her: "Madam, the young master is only eleven years old, so it's early. Our young master is going to high school and go to Beijing. We can't look down on this girl from a small family."
After listening to Mrs. Hu's words, Mrs. Yao felt a little at ease.
Ke also started making plans for his son's marriage, giving money to several famous matchmakers and asking them to pay attention to girls of similar age.
