The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 847 Living in Taichen

When Naishe set out from Lu Mansion to the house where Du Laoer's mother lived, Feng Zheng also went there under Meng Shisan's orders.

As luck would have it, the two met at the city gate.

Since they were friends and not enemies, the two of them decided to walk together as soon as they left the city gate.

With Naishe leading the way, Feng Zheng saved the time of looking for that place again.

Meng Shisan then informed Cui Yu of the news. After Cui Yu learned about it, he also sent Hu Yan to the scene. Wan Naishe Feng Zheng rode his horse and rushed out of the city gate in one step.

The place where Du Laoer's mother was hiding was not far from the capital, in Tongzhou.

The three of them arrived in two groups, and in the early morning of the second day after their departure, before the Golden Crow rose in the east, they brought Du Laoer's mother back to the capital safely.

With the lessons learned from the previous incident, the two good citizens had been silenced, and the mother of one of the remaining living witnesses was still alive. She was successfully found and escorted back to the city. Although she was not the living witness herself, Meng Shisan still hoped to get enough solid evidence from the mother of Du Laoer, so she directly arranged for Du Laoer's mother to live in the Meng Mansion.

Cui Yu had no objection to this.

Originally, he planned to arrange for Du Laoer's mother to live in the attic of the small courtyard behind Quexian Tower, and he would guard it personally. He wanted to see what tricks Li Heng would come up with to break into his attic to silence her.

Of course, even if he was from the Qinghe Cui family, he could not intimidate Li Heng, so he personally guarded Du Laoer's mother, which was actually very risky.

But Meng Shisan is very different.

The Meng Mansion is the residence of the Minister of Heaven, an outer family of the Eastern Palace. The defense of the entire mansion is many levels more than that of Quexian Tower. If Li Heng sent his assassins to break in, and caught them by surprise, he might still have a chance of winning. Unfortunately, Meng Shisan had been prepared and could not let Li Heng succeed.

And to be absolutely sure, after Du's mother entered the Meng Mansion, she obtained the approval of Old Madam Meng and reported to Shang, the mistress of the house, who then brought Du's mother into her own courtyard.

He settled down in the east wing of Taichenyuan.

It was right next door to the house where Huang Jing lived.

Meng Tianguan and Meng Zhidu later learned that their wives told them after they returned home from the court. The father and son had the same attitude towards this: "Yaoyao did the right thing."

When Meng Zhinian found out, he had the same attitude as Wu did - he couldn't do anything about it.

Meng Meijing was different. She rushed from Wanfei Courtyard into Taichen Courtyard and ran into Mingxiaotang. Because she was running so focused, she almost bumped into the back of Huang Jing who had entered Mingxiaotang a step earlier.

"Ah!" Meng Meijing covered her face with her hands.

Huang Jing was also startled. She turned around and saw Meng Meijing blocking her way behind her with her face protected. "What is the Second Miss doing?"

"I was running too fast and didn't pay attention. I'm sorry, Miss Huang." Meng Meijing walked around Huang Jing, passed Huang Jing, and ran two steps to Meng Shisan who was sitting in the first seat on the left. "I heard that my sister took in a mother-in-law. Is it true?"

Huang Jing slowly walked to the chair on the same side and sat down, listening to Meng Meijing asking Meng Shisan. She happened to be here because she was curious about the old woman.

"It's true." Meng Shisan moved a plate of cakes on the table towards Meng Meijing. "It just so happens that Jinyin has just made some pine flower cakes. They taste great. You can try some, and Ajing can try some too."

She sat at the head of the row of seats, the second was Meng Meijing, and the third was Huang Jing.

Meng Meijing took a piece of pine flower cake and ate it, then took out a clean handkerchief and wrapped it and handed it to Huang Jing who was sitting on the other side of her. Huang Jing took the pine flower cake that Meng Meijing wrapped. She didn't have much contact with Meng Meijing. They met occasionally and they were just nodding acquaintances. Meng Meijing handed her the pine flower cake at this moment, which was undoubtedly because Meng Meijing listened to Meng Shisan's words.

But no matter what the reason is, as long as we get along well, that's good.

She opened her handkerchief and took a bite of the pine flower cake. There was bright yellow pine pollen on top and bright red date paste underneath. It was delicious.

Meng Shisan saw Huang Jing's eyes light up after eating, so she turned around and told Shangchun, "Go to the kitchen and tell Jin Yin to make two more plates of pine flower cake."

"Yes." Shangchun left the house and went to the small kitchen.

"Sister, what does that mother-in-law do?" Meng Meijing asked while eating pine cake, and did not forget to glance at Huang Jing. She remembered that her eldest sister took in Miss Huang because she was a heavenly master with real skills!
Meng Shisan did not miss the look Meng Meijing gave Huang Jing, and could not help but laugh: "If it works, it will be very important evidence."

"What evidence?" Meng Meijing asked.

"It's about the collapse of the lamp mountain." Meng Shisan did not hide it.

Meng Meijing said "oh" and stopped talking. Her elder sister had told her about this incident before. She knew a lot about it, but not too little either. In this way, the old woman played a big role.

No wonder the eldest sister brought her to live in Taichenyuan.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Huang Jing again.

Huang Jing didn't care whether Meng Meijing glanced at her or not. When she heard Meng Shisan say that the old woman was involved in the collapse of the lamp mountain, the name Li Heng quickly appeared in her mind.

She had not specifically looked into this incident and did not know much about it, but because Lan Zhijin had previously helped Li Heng perform a grand ritual at his private residence, Lan Zhijin had gotten to know Li Heng a little before and after he received the payment, so she had heard bits and pieces of related information from Lan Zhijin.

It was just bits and pieces, she didn't know everything.

Lan Zhijin didn't think about knowing the whole story. After all, it was none of her business and she just didn't care. He and she had the same idea, so at this moment, she couldn't get a word in.

Thinking of Lan Zhijin, Huang Jing thought of the Thousand Miles Talisman he received from Lan Zhijin this morning: "Yaoyao, did you send Xiao Huai to Jinling?"

"Yes." Meng Shisan acknowledged it and asked, "Have you received the letter from Master Lan?"

"Received it. He said he saw a strange bird, like a crow, but not a crow. It had a fat body and all black feathers. It was very spiritual and not an ordinary bird." Huang Jing repeated Lan Zhijin's description of the locust bird word for word.

"Then you have to write a letter to Master Lan, and ask Master Lan to investigate the matter but not to hurt Xiao Huai." Meng Shisan was not familiar with Lan Zhijin, so Huang Jing had to step in the middle.

Huang Jing agreed: "Okay."

Meng Meijing was eating a cake while wondering which bird Xiao Huai was. After thinking for a while, she looked surprised and said, "Sister...did that bird as black as charcoal really fly to Jinling?"

She knew about Master Lan that her elder sister and Miss Huang were talking about. It was her elder sister who told her that Lan Zhijin had left Beijing for some business.

She didn't know what he was doing specifically, but she knew he was going to Jinling.

"I have a task to assign to it. It can fly, so it can get the job done faster." As soon as Meng Shisan finished speaking, Shangchun returned to the hall.

Shangchun held two plates of snacks and gently placed them on the table: "Jinyin is still making pine cakes, you have to wait a while if you want them to be good. These are the plum cakes and lotus cakes that have just come out of the oven. Second Miss and Miss Huang will have some first."
