Chapter 508

The old fox's body shook, and its dull hair became a little shinier and smoother than before.

It immediately felt refreshed and satisfied.

The wind was rising and the clouds were rolling, and the rain was falling.

Meng Shisan raised his hand and removed the demonic barrier.

The man and the fox stood up and walked to the veranda, one standing and the other sitting, watching the rain getting heavier, from drizzle to heavy downpour.

It's almost September.

Meng Shisan sighed silently. Unknowingly, she had been passively entering the world and possessed by Meng Liangchen for half a year.

In the past six months, life has been neither good nor bad.

About half an hour later.

The rain is still falling.

Shangchun walked into the yard quickly with an umbrella. Seeing Meng Shisan in the corridor, she hurriedly approached, walked up to the corridor, put away her umbrella, and said, "Miss, earlier you asked me to send someone to keep an eye on Magistrate Zhu's mansion. I sent Feng'er to do it. Just now Feng'er came back to report that something seemed to have happened in the Zhu mansion, and they invited a doctor in the heavy rain. Moreover, as soon as a doctor came out, he went to invite another doctor. In this way, they invited no less than four or five doctors. According to Feng'er's observation and the two sentences she talked to one of the doctors at the last moment, someone in the Zhu mansion was poisoned, and the poisoned person was Magistrate Zhu himself."

Meng Shisan was sitting in the rose chair that she had moved out of Mingxiao Hall by herself, and the silver fox was squatting obediently beside her. When it heard Shangchun's report, it just glanced at Shangchun lazily.

Shangchun noticed the glance and looked down at the silver fox. Suddenly, he felt that the silver fox could not only understand human words, but also think.

"They've taken action..." Meng Shisan's tone was not surprised, but rather expected. "Your Majesty insists on having the best of both worlds, but you don't even consider whether other princes are worthy of having the best of both worlds, except Your Highness? Your Highness can endure the anger for a while and take a step back to make things easier, but can Your Majesty still turn a blind eye to their actions? Even if Your Majesty can, and is willing to, be a blind man, and even waste Your Highness's natural father-son relationship with Your Majesty, can Your Highness still endure it when it comes to this?"

Shangchun didn't know much about Li Shou and Emperor Zong, but she could still understand what Meng Shisan said: "You can't have your cake and eat it too. One day, your majesty will understand."

Meng Shisan nodded: "I'm afraid I'll understand it too late."

It's too late. Regardless of whether His Highness will take action or not, she will take action to protect His Highness's support.

"Feng'er went back to continue watching?" she asked.

"Yes, Miss didn't stop. As soon as Feng'er finished her report, I naturally asked her to continue to watch outside the Zhu Mansion." Shangchun answered and asked again, "Miss, what should we do next?"

"Find out who poisoned him, was it the Second Prince, the Fifth Prince, or the Seventh Prince." Meng Shisan paused, "I'll ask Shopkeeper Jin to investigate who poisoned County Magistrate Zhu. Just ask Feng'er to keep an eye on him. If anything happens, tell her not to move. Don't move around and lose your life."

No matter which prince it is, no matter how virtuous and kind they pretend to be, when the real fight comes, taking Feng'er's life is just a piece of cake.

Shangchun didn't want Feng'er to get into trouble either: "Understood."

After all, it involved political struggle. When she asked Feng'er to keep an eye on the Zhu Mansion, she told Feng'er to come back and report if there was anything and not to act rashly. Although Feng'er was only twelve years old, she was able to keep her composure and was quite smart, otherwise she would not have sent Feng'er out to keep an eye on the situation.

"Where's the pearl?"

"I'm in the small kitchen with Jinyin making soup for the young lady."

Meng Shisan smiled: "Tell her to stop causing trouble for Jin Yin, and ask her to go to Quexian Tower and tell Shopkeeper Jin about the poisoning of County Magistrate Zhu, and ask Shopkeeper Jin to help find out which prince was responsible." Jin Yin is good at cooking, but Baozhu is just the opposite and is not very good at it.

Every time Baozhu went to Shang's to help Meng Shisan in the newly built small kitchen in Taichen Courtyard, not only did she fail to help Jinyin, but she also caused a lot of trouble for Jinyin.

In the end, it was always Chaiyu, who was also talented in cooking and could really help, and who often assisted Jinyin, and cleaned up the mess for Baozhu.

For this reason, Jin Yin often complained to Meng Shisan.

But Chai Yu always opened her eyes wide and told Meng Shisan that it was okay.

Baozhu, on the other hand, innocently emphasized that she was just free and wanted to help as much as she could.

Shangchun was the housekeeper of Taichen Courtyard. Although these were trivial matters, she took them to heart because the food was prepared for Meng Shisan. Baozhu and Jinyin were both maids who had served and accompanied Meng Shisan since he was a child. They had an extraordinary master-servant relationship.

Once she takes something seriously, she will know everything, no matter how small the matter is.

Hearing Meng Shisan talking about Baozhu so mercilessly, Shangchun couldn't help but laugh: "I will go now."

After a while, Baozhu left the small kitchen with a look of regret on her face. She had only made half of the fermented rice balls she wanted to make for the young lady.

Jinyin told Baozhu that she would make the rest and would make sure that the young lady could eat the fermented rice balls made by both of them. Then she waved to Baozhu with a smile on her face and told her to go out of the house quickly to do things for the young lady.

Chai Yu, who was still cleaning the flour all over the floor, turned her back and breathed a sigh of relief.

Sister Baozhu's destructive power in the small kitchen is really extraordinary. If Sister Baozhu continues to make it herself, I'm afraid that the wine-fermented meatballs will become a midnight snack instead of a dinner, and the young lady may not be able to eat them.

In Quexian Tower, Jin Baixi received instructions from Meng Shisan and helped to find out Shangshu Qingming's attitude towards the matter of his cousin bullying the Lu family's noodles. Then, as soon as Cui Yu came back, he reported it.

Cui Yu was a little surprised: "She is... just like Thirteen, she follows her heart."

It is not entirely true to say that Thirteen likes to speak up for justice and help others when he sees injustice.

But if they encountered such an injustice, they would take care of it, such as the Lu family's noodles. Thirteen had also done this during the time he was with him in the capital.

Afterwards, he asked Thirteen if she liked to do good deeds. Thirteen answered him no, saying that she was willing to be kind to others, but she didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs. She said that there were too many unfair things in the world and she couldn't take care of them all. She could only take care of one or two things occasionally.

that is it.

He had thoroughly investigated the life of the eldest daughter of the Meng family. It was obvious that Miss Meng was not the type of person who would help others when she saw injustice. In the past, she even stayed at home because of her illness. Now that she has reached the age of 15, her temperament has changed a lot and she is not so sickly anymore. Everything she does in the streets is unexpected.

As for the Lu family's noodles, they made him feel inexplicably familiar.

Almost at the moment when Lao Bai finished speaking, he thought of Thirteen from Miss Meng.

Jin Baixi said, "Ms. Meng has to call Miss Thirteen "Auntie Thirteen". They have been exchanging letters since they grew up together, so they know each other well. It's not surprising that they have similar personalities and behaviors."
