Chapter 623 Other Dao

Shi Lianchun knelt down again, but Meng Shisan still hadn't responded. Meng Meijing stood up angrily and said, "What do you want to do? You have never had any dealings with my elder sister. In fact, because of Miss Lu San, my elder sister didn't even help you pass on a message. Now you think my elder sister is kind and helped you pass on a message, but you are still asking for more. You even think that my elder sister saved your father. Don't you think you are going too far?"

Even Guo Rong felt that it was too much. She quickly stood up and slightly blocked the kneeling Shi Lianchun. She was afraid that Meng Meijing would lose her temper and beat Shi Lianchun up as if she was fighting with her.

As soon as she did this, before she even opened her mouth, Meng Meijing was already annoyed with her: "And you! Guo Er, are you bored? Ever since my elder sister helped you and me mediate the dispute last time, you and I have never quarreled or fought again. You are just itching to quarrel and fight with me again, right?"

Guo Rong didn't mean that at all. She waved her hands and said, "No, no! How could I be the kind of person who would stir up trouble out of nothing? I have no such intention. You have to believe me! Even Chunchun's father is in danger. As a daughter, Chunchun is naturally anxious and confused. I don't mean to force Miss Meng to do anything!"

When he heard the word "forced", Shi Lianchun's kneeling back softened, but he still insisted on not getting up.

"You know in your conscience that this is coercion." Meng Meijing glared at Guo Rong, then looked down at Shi Lianchun with contempt, then turned back to Meng Shisan and said, "Sister, let's go. We don't need to pay attention to this kind of people!"

Meng Shisan also wanted to leave, so he stood up following Meng Meijing's words and said, "Miss Shi, I can still help with Du Yuanshi and Lou Yuanpan, but whether they go to Fangshan or not is not something I can decide. As for the latter thing...Miss Shi thinks highly of me, Meng Liangchen."

Refused?
When she realized these three words, Shi Lianchun raised her eyes and met Meng Shisan's. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes. She wanted to beg again, but Guo Rong was right, Meng Meijing was also right, and not a single word of what Meng Shisan said was wrong.

She couldn't beg anymore.

Meng Shisan stared at Shi Lianchun for three breaths, then said, "Official affairs are not as simple as Miss Shi guessed or imagined. If Lord Shi couldn't solve the problem, why do you think you can solve it?"

Shi Lianchun was stunned and answered instinctively: "I didn't think I could solve it myself..."

"Then Miss Shi, why do you think that if you kneel down before me, I will do my best and take risks to help you solve the problem?" Seeing that Shi Lianchun didn't fully understand the meaning of her words, Meng Shisan simply changed the way she put it and made it clear.

Shi Lianchun was stunned by the question: "I..."

Guo Rong wanted to help Shi Lianchun explain her behavior today, but under Meng Meijing's stare, her mind just couldn't wrap around it. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

So Meng Meijing watched her open her mouth and then close it.

Meng Shisan continued, "Miss Shi is eager to save her father, which I can understand, but Miss Shi cannot pin your hopes on others, especially since Miss Shi is still living in the Lu Mansion. In this way, Miss Shi may understand?"

She could see that Shi Lianchun was truly a very simple and kind person. She would always be more patient and kind to a girl like her. Even after this, she realized that she didn't want to lend a hand.

Shi Lianchun nodded blankly.

She understood it. After all, what Meng Shisan said was very clear and direct. If she still didn't understand, then she was not just naive, but stupid.

Seeing Shi Lianchun nod, Meng Shisan nodded slightly and said to Guo Rong: "Although Meijing's words were a bit aggressive, they are the truth. If Miss Guo really wants to help Miss Shi, why not try other ways?" "Other ways?" Guo Rong certainly wanted to help Shi Lianchun, but she didn't know how to help. Finding Meng Shisan was the best way she came up with after racking her brains. Under such circumstances, she could only ask, "What other ways? Miss Meng, please give me some advice!"

Meng Meijing wanted to talk back at Guo Rong, so she asked Meng Shisan to stop her: "Meijing."

"Sister, they clearly know the relationship between our Meng Mansion and the Lu Mansion, yet they still come to you for help with such a troublesome matter. They have no good intentions at all! Why say any more to them!" Meng Meijing is not as smart as Meng Shisan, and naturally she does not think as much as Meng Shisan, but she at least knows one thing, that is, the opposing relationship between the Meng and Lu Mansions due to the fight for the throne.

Under this circumstance, what Guo Rong and Shi Lianchun wanted seemed somewhat intriguing.

Guo Rong lowered her head guiltily, but her determination to do everything she could to help Shi Lianchun did not waver in the slightest.

On the other hand, Shi Lianchun was still trapped in the hopelessness of having no one to turn to for help and how difficult it was to save his father. He was in a daze, as if he did not hear what Meng Shisan and Meng Meijing said.

Her mind kept reappearing the descriptions of her father's seriously ill and haggard appearance written by her mother in the letters home, and her heart was filled with fear and despair.

She came to see Meng Shisan today and asked Meng Shisan for help. She thought that everything would turn around, but it turned out that she was naive.

The saddest thing was that she could do nothing but cry silently.

Meng Shisan nodded slightly. She agreed that what Meng Meijing said made sense, but she still felt that some things needed to be made clear to avoid any unexpected situations like the one she encountered today on the street in the future.

She hummed, "But we have to make things clear to avoid another chance encounter on the street like today."

She told about the sneaky things Guo Rong and Shi Lianchun did to achieve their goal, as they followed the two sisters all the way to the Imperial Street.

Meng Meijing's mind was working fast at this moment. She immediately understood what Meng Shisan wanted to express to her. Then she looked at Guo Rong and Shi Lianchun. Thinking that these two had done such sneaky things to achieve their goals, she felt disgusted and a burst of anger ignited.

"Miss Meng actually...how did you know this?" Guo Rong was exposed on the spot. Her face turned pale and blue, and she felt extremely ashamed and embarrassed.

But she couldn't help being curious, so she asked back quickly.

However, when she saw Meng Meijing staring at her, her heart tightened and she quickly lowered her head again, not daring to raise it again.

Meng Shisan looked at everything that was happening in front of her, and didn't care about Guo Rong's question. She calmly explained, "Your tracking was really a bit careless. As long as you were a little more vigilant and observed carefully, you would have noticed it."

There was a hint of helplessness in her tone. After so many experiences in the world and dealings with mortals, she had become accustomed to such things.
