The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 841 Becoming an Accomplice

Meng Renping was interrupted by Meng Shisan so forcefully that he couldn't even continue his sentence.

And he found that what his eldest cousin said was not wrong. As long as his eldest cousin was fine and the thirteen tokens were useful and could build an extra wall of safety for his eldest cousin, he didn't need to worry too much about the origin of the tokens.

but!
"Tell me honestly, how did you get the thirteen tokens that are so important to the three major families in Lingnan?" He didn't ask too much about the rest, but Meng Renping felt that this little bit of the origin was very important, so he had to get it clear.

Meng Shisan stared at Meng Renping for a moment, and then answered evasively, "I got it by chance."

Meng Renping couldn't bear to hear such a perfunctory answer: "Yaoyao!"

"Is it the truth?" Meng Shisan spread his hands with an innocent look on his face. "If you don't believe me, go ask the people around me. You can ask anyone in my courtyard."

Ask whatever you want, you won't get the truth anyway.

Even Chang'an, who had known her the longest, didn't know about the matter of the Thirteen Tokens of Lingnan.

Later, she sent Chang'an to Lingnan to help her brother. In order to facilitate Chang'an's actions, she told Chang'an a few things, but she only let Chang'an know the general idea, not the details.

Meng Renping suddenly realized: "You are cheating!"

"Brother, we have an agreement." Meng Shisan reminded Meng Renping, "I said you can ask anything, but I also said that it is up to me to decide whether to answer or not."

She freely admitted that she was hiding something.

At this moment, Meng Renping suddenly understood how Li Shou felt when he returned to the palace with a gloomy face after meeting and talking with Meng Shisan. His eldest cousin's ability to make people angry was really extraordinary.

He took a deep breath and exhaled, then asked the last question in a much calmer tone: "What did you and the three clan leaders finally agree on in Master Cui Qi's study?"

"They, like my eldest brother, all want to know how I got the main card of the Thirteen Tokens." Meng Shisan felt that this question was worth answering, so he did not hide it and answered it directly.

Meng Renping thought it was normal for the three old men to want to know this: "Then how do you answer?"

"They think that whoever can possess this token must be the descendant of Meng Zu, who has done a favor for their three clans." Meng Shisan said so.

Meng Renping is so smart: "You wouldn't..."

"Yes, I admit it."

"They...believed it?"

"Let them be."

"Let's just... make a fuss!"

Meng Shisan was full, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and seriously corrected Meng Renping's words: "Brother, you are my elder brother, and I will tell you the truth. You can't hold me back."

"You..." Meng Renping opened his mouth. If she told him openly that she had deceived the three old masters, he would have to cover it up for her and become her accomplice in lying?
In the end, he was so angry that he laughed.

"In that case, it's settled then." Meng Shisan saw Meng Renping's smile and said, "In the future, if there are problems like this, big brother, you have to help me."

He was in a daze throughout the whole process, remembering how Meng Renping left the Meng Mansion, how he returned to the Zhanshi Mansion, and how he was summoned to the Wenhua Palace.

So when he stepped into the Wenhua Hall and stood in front of Li Shou, his mind was still full of the thought that his eldest cousin was the descendant of some Meng Zu.

Seeing Meng Renping's strange expression, Li Shou couldn't help but look at Ji Kuan who brought Meng Renping here.

Ji Kuan shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.

He had asked, but Chi Nan didn't say a word during the trip, as if his friend had become mute after leaving the palace for a trip home at noon. He asked more, but Chi Nan didn't glare at him as usual, as if he didn't exist at all. In short, his friend was very abnormal.

Li Shou thought back to the past when he and Meng Shisan had been getting along, and thought about how his eldest cousin would say ten sentences back at him for every one he said. No wonder he thought in this way, because Meng Renping's expression at the moment was really similar to the way he looked when he was mad at his eldest cousin.

Chang Zhu didn't understand what was going on either.

However, Chang Qing was always by Li Shou's side. He had seen Li Shou's inky face after talking to Meng Shisan, which was exactly the same as Meng Renping's at the moment. Therefore, he easily thought of some of the sources.

Li Shou cleared his throat: "Chi Nan..."

"Your Highness, are you sure you want to listen?" Meng Renping suddenly asked, and after asking Li Shou, who was sitting in the main seat, he asked again, "Fu Feng, are you sure you want to listen? Are the two eunuchs sure you want to listen?"

The situation is serious.

Apart from the young eunuch standing guard outside the gate of Wenhua Hall, there were only five people in the hall, including the person who came to ask the question.

Li Shou and Ji Kuan looked at each other, Chang Qing and Chang Zhu exchanged glances, and the four of them reacted with excitement.

Li Shou didn't say anything, and the other three spoke one after another.

Chang Qing: "I will withdraw first."

Chang Zhu: "I will also withdraw first."

Ji Kuan: "...Then I will withdraw too."

Li Shou didn't expect that Lian Ji Kuan wanted to withdraw. Considering Chi Nan's tone, it was normal for Chang Qing and Chang Zhu to want to withdraw. However, he was still a little surprised that Lian Fu Feng wanted to avoid him.

Ji Kuan's brain was not as good as Li Shou and Meng Renping's, but since he was a child he had been around these two people, and although he did not become as smart as them, his agility in avoiding danger between the two became more and more instinctive for him.

When Chi Nan clearly told him whether he wanted to listen or not, as long as he chose not to listen, he would not be able to go wrong.

Ever since he became the prince's companion, his father has warned him that he must know the things he must know, and it is better not to know the rest.

After all, there is an old saying that sometimes the more you know, the faster you die.

Especially in the imperial palace.

The Wenhua Hall was emptied out in an instant, leaving only Li Shou and Meng Renping.

The two looked at each other for a moment, but Meng Renping still didn't speak. Li Shou felt that what Meng Renping wanted to say must involve a lot of things based on his understanding of Meng Renping.

"Chi Nan..."

"Your Highness!"

Meng Renping's call of "Your Highness" made Li Shou's heart skip a beat.

Huang Jing came to Ming Xiaotang after Meng Renping left the house. She looked like she wanted to ask something but couldn't.

Meng Shisan noticed it, but ignored it and only asked about Kuang Guanghe's progress: "You go out with Xiaocha early in the morning every day and don't come back until light. How come you came back at noon today? Did you find what you were looking for?"

"Xiaocha is so useless, he can't help at all." Huang Jing's mood instantly dropped from high spirits to low spirits when he mentioned this matter. He asked listlessly, "Yaoyao, when Xiaoqing recovers from his injury, can you lend it to me too, so that I can go to Kuangguang River to get some stuff?"

"I have no problem with this, but again, Xiaoqing has to agree." Meng Shisan still said this.
