Chapter 544 Who is the biological father?

After Li Meier sat down and drank tea, Jiang Yanzhi looked at her and Jiang Shanqing with a half-smile and asked, "You are all very well, are you keeping such a big matter from me?"

Jiang Shanqing and Li Meier looked at each other, a little confused about what Jiang Yanzhi was talking about, so they both agreed tacitly and didn't answer.

Jiang Yanzhi was not in a hurry, and after taking a sip of water on his own, he said again: "If I didn't see something wrong with your aunt today, I would have found out after I was forced to ask you that you were hiding such a big thing from me. The imperial concubine is the original Zhou Hanhan, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Jiang Shanqing and Li Meier felt relieved at the same time, it turned out that they only knew about this matter, it's okay, it's okay.

Jiang Shanqing had the bottom line in his mind, so he pretended to be very obedient and said: "Father, you can't blame us for not telling you. After all, this is the housework of the foster mother. It is up to the foster mother to decide whether to tell you or not."

Hearing the words, Jiang Yanzhi put the teacup heavily on the table, raised his eyebrows and taught, "Quiet, since I married your adoptive mother, I am the closest person to her. This is about the lives of her and her natal family. How could you keep it from me, if something happened to your adoptive mother and Mei Meier entered the palace this time, would you be able to take the responsibility!"

Seeing that his uncle was getting angry with Brother Shanqing, Li Meier immediately explained very protectively: "Uncle, Brother Shanqing can't be blamed for this, he was frightened so much in the palace, and he couldn't be 100% sure about that cloud The imperial concubine is the former Zhou Hanhan, so I didn't tell you right away."

"Then I'm sure this time, why didn't you tell me the first time?" Jiang Yanzhi was not so easy to be fooled, and asked again with squinted eyes.

Li Meier lowered her head, her voice became much weaker immediately, and she said without confidence: "Aren't you still in the Hanlin Academy? I was thinking about finding a day for you to rest and take a bath, and then I will tell you carefully..."

"Such an important matter should be told to me as soon as possible, and if you find time, I think you two are usually smart, why are you so stupid this time!"

Jiang Yanzhi slapped the table hard and cursed harshly.The young couple immediately acted like quails, and no one dared to make any more excuses.

Jiang Yanzhi scolded the two of them, and he calmed down a little. He raised his hand to get the teapot to pour tea, but just now he put it down and tapped it, and most of the water in the cup was spilled.

Li Meier immediately snatched the teapot very dog-leggedly, added water to Jiang Yanzhi, and persuaded Jiang Yanzhi sweetly: "Uncle, don't be angry, it's me and Brother Shanqing who are wrong this time, your lord has a lot, so please forgive me Let's do it this time, we promise, no matter what happens in the future, we won't hide it from you, whatever you want to know, we'll say it!"

Jiang Yanzhi squinted at Li Mei'er, apparently not believing her words very much. He took a sip from the teacup, then frowned and said, "The water is getting cold..."

"I'm going to change some hot water." Jiang Shanqing immediately picked up the kettle and ran out of the room quickly.

Only then did Jiang Yanzhi show a satisfied expression, taking advantage of Jiang Shanqing's absence, he asked Li Meier again: "I heard that you were tortured by Concubine Yun in the palace today, are you okay?"

The anger just now was completely gone in the words, only full of concern.

Li Meier immediately pretended to be pitiful, Bo sympathized, pouted and said: "How can it be all right, my knees are all blue."

"I have a few bottles of good ointment over there. I'll send someone to bring it to you later. Remember to apply it several times a day, and it will be cured in a few days." Jiang Yanzhi said immediately.

Li Meier naturally said a lot of words of thanks sweetly, but Jiang Yanzhi just sighed and frowned at this moment: "I don't know how many lifetimes of bad luck happened to Zhou's family. It's a good family, and bad things happened one after another. Son, I wonder if his family is not in harmony with the geomantic omen of the capital."

Li Mei'er also felt this way, so she tentatively asked, "Uncle, do the grandparents of the Zhou family plan to go back to their hometown? Grandma Zhou is in such a situation that she needs to find a familiar and clean place to rest."

Jiang Yanzhi sighed again, and said: "Your aunt also has this plan, but the mother-in-law's current situation is really not suitable for long-distance travel. Even if you want to leave later, you have to wait until the situation is stable, and it is already autumn, so it is not a long-distance journey. It’s a good season.” Li Meier thought about it, and if she really wanted to go back to her hometown, she would have to wait until next spring.

Li Meier was thinking about it, when Jiang Yanzhi suddenly asked in a very serious tone: "Mei Meier, I want to ask you something, you must answer me truthfully."

Li Meier was stunned for a moment, looked up at Jiang Yanzhi, her heart suddenly jumped, she already had some bad premonition, but her expression remained unchanged, she blinked her big eyes and said with a smile: "If you have any questions, please ask." Hey, you are so serious, it makes me a little nervous."

Jiang Yanzhi didn't mean to smile at her, he stared into her eyes and asked, "Do you and Shanqing already know who his biological father is?"

Li Meier's heart skipped a beat, the smile on her face froze, she guessed it right, uncle had already noticed something, she didn't know how to answer, so she could only ask back: "Why do you ask such a question, uncle? Did you know something?"

"I'm the one asking you now, don't change the subject for me." Jiang Yanzhi still stared at Li Meier, obviously not intending to let her get away with it.

Li Meier knew that it would be difficult to get through today, so she lowered her head and played with the hem of her clothes, instead of looking at Jiang Yanzhi, she said, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that this is Brother Shanqing's private matter, I think you should ask He, if he will tell you, he will."

Jiang Yanzhi was angry, glared at Li Meier and said, "If I could ask Shanqing, I wouldn't pay him on purpose, am I afraid that he won't want to mention it? After all, his biological father abandoned him since he was a child." and his mother."

Li Mei'er still didn't speak, she felt that Brother Shanqing had to tell her uncle personally about this matter, after all, it was really not a trivial matter.

Jiang Yanzhi saw that Li Meier suddenly turned into a saw-mouthed gourd, and was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. If Li Meier was a boy, he would definitely have done it right now.

Just when he was still trying to reason with his niece Xiaozhi, Jiang Shanqing came back with a water bottle.

Jiang Yanzhi immediately shut up, pretending to drink tea from the cup, but forgot that the tea in the cup was already cold.

Jiang Shanqing also noticed the strange atmosphere in the study, glanced at Li Meier, and saw that she was looking over, she didn't need to say anything, just looking at her eyes, he had already guessed seven or eight points.
