Xiao Lingyue frowned: "You have something urgent to do with me?"
She looked at the sky outside the window: "It's so late, who would suddenly come to me in an emergency?"
"Can't you just ask and you'll know?" Zhan Beihan said angrily.
Then he raised his voice and said: "Come in!
The maid at the door opened the door, and a guard wearing armor walked in, raised his hands and saluted: "I have met the prince, the lord of Anping County."
"Who is at the door? What's going on?" Zhan Bei asked coldly.
The guard said: "It's the second wife of the Meng family. They only said they had something urgent and wanted to see the Anping County Lord, but they didn't say what the matter was."
Xiao Lingyue: "..."
Aren't the master and wife of the second wife of the Meng family the parents of Meng Wanqing?
It goes without saying that I came to my door in a hurry at night.
It must be because of Meng Wanqing's matter.
Xiao Lingyue instantly lost interest and looked away.
Zhan Beihan laughed and said unceremoniously: "Tell them to go back and disappear!"
The guard looked embarrassed: "Steward Zhou also said the same thing, but...the two men refused. They are now kneeling at the door of the mansion, insisting on seeing the Lord of Anping County."
Zhan Beihan's eyes became even colder.
Xiao Lingyue was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sneer: "It's interesting that he actually came to Prince Yi's Mansion to rely on his old age and act like one."
The guard lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"If they want to kneel, then kneel! Come and tell me when you die on your knees!" Zhan Bei said coldly.
Guard: "..."
Xiao Lingyue looked at the man: "Is this good?"
Zhan Beihan: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Lingyue said: "I remember that Meng Wanqing's father's name is Meng Qinghe? He is a second-grade civil servant in the imperial court. He used to work in the Yushitai. I heard that he has a very upright temperament and is not like the kind of person who would seek personal gain for his daughter.
A loving person."
The second eldest son of the Meng family is Shan Bo.
It is said that Mrs. Meng was in poor health. She had given birth to a son and a daughter before, but they both died in infancy due to congenital frailty.
It was not until she was over thirty that she finally gave birth to Meng Wanqing, her only legitimate daughter.
He has been pampered like a jewel since childhood.
Meng Wanqing was so favored in the Meng family that even the eldest son Meng Zheng and the eldest daughter Crown Princess Meng Wen paid special attention to her because she was the only daughter of the second family.
Knowing that the precious woman was injured and imprisoned, it was normal for Mrs. Meng to come to plead for mercy, but Xiao Lingyue was a little surprised because she didn't expect Meng Qinghe to come with her.
Most of the civil servants were noble, especially Meng Qinghe, who was born in the Meng family and served as a censor.
I am afraid that he is more noble and proud in his heart than ordinary civil servants.
As a result, such a person, for the sake of his daughter Meng Wanqing, even ignored his integrity and face, and knelt at the door of Prince Yi's Mansion to beg for permission to see him.
"It seems that Meng Wanqing is really favored in the Meng family, and her parents treat her like a treasure." Xiao Lingyue said with emotion.
Hearing this, the man suddenly glanced at her.
If he remembers correctly.
It seems that she has never been well loved by her parents since she was a child.
In the past, in the Xiao family, his biological mother died of illness early. As his father, Xiao Chenggang was ruthless and profit-seeking. He also married a stepmother, Mrs. Xiao, who was born in the Shen family and was Shen Zhijiang's sister.
He also has a mean, unkind, bitter and unruly temperament.
Xiao Lingyue had a difficult life in the Xiao family since she was a child. She was obviously a legitimate daughter, so it was okay to be treated as a transparent person since she was a child.
I heard that she was often bullied by Mrs. Xiao's biological children, Xiao Jun and Xiao Rulan. It was common for the servants to flatter each other, and to wait and see.
