The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 599 Meng Shisan

Meng Shisan has always wanted to get Meng Renping's support because Meng Renping is the pillar of the Meng family after Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu.

Now that she had received her eldest cousin's exact answer and clear statement, she was extremely delighted.

As if sensing the subtle change in Meng Shisan's emotions, Meng Renping stretched out his hand, slowly crossed the table between the two of them, and gently placed it on Meng Shisan's head: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Yes." Meng Shisan nodded, "What else do you want to know, brother?"

Meng Renping smiled and shook his head: "As long as you are safe, you can say the rest if you want to, and forget it if you don't want to."

Meng Shisan hesitated to speak, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I have already told my eldest brother about the female corpse in the grave. She looks exactly like someone I know... Mr. Cui Qi also knows that person."

Meng Renping quickly recalled what Meng Shisan had said to him before: "You are familiar with Master Cui Qi because of this person?"

"Yes." Meng Shisan decided to tell Meng Renping the truth. Because of some of the things that happened next, she would have to contact Cui Yu frequently. She would also have to make great use of Gao Jin. Gao Jin was her eldest cousin's man. Even if she didn't tell him, her eldest cousin would know it sooner or later. "Her name is... Meng Shisan."

"Meng Shisan?" Meng Renping was a little surprised. "This person's surname is also Meng? Is he related to our Meng family?"

"No." Meng Shisan said, "She is an old friend of my mother. I call her Aunt Thirteen. She is also an acquaintance of Master Cui Qi. We are old friends. Master Cui Qi has been looking for her whereabouts over the years. It happened that I was able to contact her, so I frequently visited Master Cui Qi and gradually became familiar with him."

"Can you contact that Meng Shisan?" Meng Renping asked doubtfully, "With Master Cui Qi's ability, the person he has been looking for for many years must be very difficult to find. If he can't contact him, how can you contact him?"

Meng Shisan had already thought of the answer before he said it: "Chang'an."

"You contacted Miss Thirteen through Chang'an. Then Chang'an..." Meng Renping became more and more curious about Chang'an's background. Although Meng Shisan had already reported Chang'an's background to Shang, and he also learned about it from his mother, he had to think more at this moment, "How could she contact Miss Thirteen better than you, and how did she contact her?"

"Chang'an is her servant. He has been helping Miss Thirteen to look after the old house in Jinling. It was Miss Thirteen's idea that he came to Beijing this time." Meng Shisan implied that it was Meng Shisan's idea for Chang'an to come to her.

Meng Renping nodded, and then nodded again. He understood a little better: "In other words, the focus is on Chang'an. You said that the female corpse looks exactly like this Thirteenth Miss?"

"Exactly the same." If Meng Shisan hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it completely if someone else had told her. It was normal for Meng Renping to be so skeptical now. "I saw it with my own eyes, so I can't be wrong. Master Cui Qi can also testify to this."

Meng Renping asked, "What do you mean?" "After I came down the mountain, I returned to the mansion and painted a picture of a sleeping female corpse in wedding clothes. I took this painting to see Master Cui Qi. When Master Cui Qi saw the painting, he initially thought it was Aunt Thirteen herself." Meng Shisan replied, "After I explained the whole story, he was also shocked. He also felt it was incredible that there were two people in the world who looked so identical."

Meng Renping was silent for a while, then asked, "You specifically told me the reason why you are familiar with Master Cui Qi. Is it related to the collapse of the lamp mountain that you are investigating now?"

Meng Shisan secretly thought that his eldest cousin was indeed smart. "I want to be honest with you, brother. I wanted to investigate this incident thoroughly from the very beginning. It was Master Cui Qi who led me into this trap."

"What does he mean? What does he want to do?" Meng Renping suddenly became anxious, his brows furrowed tightly.

"He has a grudge against the Second Prince, and the mastermind behind this incident is also the Second Prince. The Second Prince wanted to use this incident to make him surrender, but he was unwilling to submit, so he wanted to fight back." And Meng Shisan was part of Cui Yu's plan to counterattack Li Heng.

Meng Renping became even more angry after hearing this: "He is using you! He is using the Meng Mansion and the Eastern Palace!"

Meng Shisan did not deny it, because these were all facts. Cui Yu did intend to use her and her identity to drag the Meng Mansion and the Eastern Palace into the water, and then achieve his personal goal of severely counterattacking Li Heng.

Such simple logic is easy for anyone to understand.

Meng Shisan also figured out other information from Meng Renping's words that she didn't know: "Brother asked me not to get involved earlier, but didn't you know about the dispute between Master Cui Qi and the Second Prince?"

"No." Meng Renping stroked his frowning brows with his fingertips. "I told you not to get involved. It's true that Gao Jin, following my orders, found out that the lantern mountain at Bixu Manor collapsed on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and that the Second Prince was involved. But the more specific and deeper issues have not yet been traced back to Cui Yu... He covered it up!"

Meng Shisan agreed with Meng Renping's judgment: "With Master Cui Qi's ability, it is not difficult to cut off all clues that can lead to him."

Meng Renping had originally agreed to Meng Shisan's involvement in the Dengshan incident, but now that he heard about the dispute between Cui Yu and Li Heng, the complexity of the matter instantly made him waver: "Yaoyao, why don't you not..."

"No." Meng Shisan rejected Meng Renping's proposal to hide her safely in the Meng Mansion before he finished listening to Meng Renping's words. "Brother, you just promised me. How can you go back on your word so soon? That won't do. A man should stick to his word."

Meng Renping was both angry and amused at the same time: "You, why don't you just stay in the mansion and play bamboo cards or butterfly hunting with Meijing when you have nothing to do, or go out for a walk and buy some things? Why do you have to get involved in these troublesome things? Others can't avoid them."

"Those civilians who were crushed to death, those who had no idea what was going on, but lost their lives just for a few pieces of silver on what should have been a reunion night, and the civilians who died and were injured in natural disasters and man-made disasters in Lueyang last year, and..." Meng Shisan paused for a moment, then continued frankly, "The Second Prince is your mortal enemy. If your Highness wants to be good, the Second Prince can only be bad. Besides, Mr. Cui Qi and I have some friendship... Because of Aunt Thirteen, whether it's for your Highness or because of him, I want to do my part to suppress the Second Prince together."

Hearing that Meng Shisan and Cui Yu had some friendship, Meng Renping's brows frowned even more tightly. But when he heard Meng Shisan clarify that it was because of the so-called Thirteenth Aunt, his frown relaxed again.
