The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 307
She wondered if she had heard it wrong.

Was Yun Mu related to the destruction of the Meng family?This, how is this possible?

"Is there some misunderstanding?" She asked with difficulty.

"Misunderstanding?" The corner of Meng Liang's mouth curled up in a sarcasm, "I have been investigating this matter for more than ten years, if there is no definite evidence, how would I do it."

His eyes were red with hatred, "I just asked him personally, and he admitted it."

Thinking of his parents and elders being killed overnight, Meng Liang wished he could rush over and tear Yun Mu to pieces.That blood was the biggest nightmare in his life.

How could it be possible to let go?Let go of nearly a hundred lives.

Yun Xi felt as if a large stone was pressing on her chest, which made her feel heavy and uncomfortable.If even Yun Mu had admitted this matter himself, it would not be the so-called misunderstanding and frame-up.After all, she is not from the Meng family, so she cannot deeply experience Meng Liang's mood, but she can understand it.

What made her feel even more uncomfortable was Yun Shen... Her own father was the murderer who killed her grandfather's family. How could this make Yun Shen feel so affectionate?How could he still face Yun Mu.

She said with some difficulty, "You are Yun Shen's relative... Even if you want to take revenge, there are many ways. If you lose your whole life for this, what will Yun Shen do?"

She knew very well in her heart that in her husband's heart, the status of this little uncle Meng Liang must be far higher than that of Yun Mu.

Meng Liang said coldly: "If I hadn't thought of Yun Shen, my sword would not have deviated a few feet."

After hearing this, Yun Xi unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't know how to comfort Meng Liang, no amount of words seemed very powerless in the face of this deep hatred.

She took a deep breath and said, "I'll go see how he's doing..." She usually carries Qianhe Ointment with her, so she can't use it all.Even if Yun Mu was going to die, he couldn't die in Meng Liang's hands.

Meng Liang nodded slightly, but said nothing.It was impossible for him to go over to see the situation. He was worried that after seeing him, he would not be able to resist making up his sword.

When Yun Xi arrived, Yun Qi was stopping Yun Mu's bleeding.

Because of excessive blood loss, Yun Mu's face was pale and his breath was weak.

Hearing her footsteps, Yun Qi raised her head and mouthed that she was fine.The big rock that Yun Xi was hanging in mid-air finally fell to the ground. She walked to Yun Mu's bedside, but before she took out the Qianhe ointment, a servant girl hurried over with Qianhe ointment.

Seeing Yun Xi, she bent her knees, saluted, and then said to Yun Qi: "Master Yun, Qianhe ointment is here."

Yun Qi opened the bottle, and when he was about to apply Qianhe Ointment to Yun Mu's wound, Yun Xi directly stopped him, "There is something wrong with this medicine."

She cast her fierce eyes on the maid in the light green dress, and when she raised her long sleeves, a white silk slipped out from the cuffs, directly binding the maid.

Yun Xi put the bottle away, and said with a sneer, "I know if there is any problem with the ointment I made myself. There is an extra medicine in it."

Even if there is only a small difference, Yun Xi who has been making ointment for so many years can still recognize the difference at a glance.Qianhe ointment is also one of the few ointments that she needs to prepare by herself every month. After all, this thing cannot tolerate the slightest mistake.

She took out another bottle and said, "I have a bottle with me, use mine."

Yun Qi took her Qianhe Ointment, wiped some on Yun Mu's wound, and asked, "What's in this medicine?" After all, he didn't know the ingredients of Qianhe Ointment, so he naturally didn't understand what was added .

The servant girl's face was pale, she obviously knew what would happen to her in the future, so she didn't even beg for mercy.

Under Yun Xi's wink, Li Qiu directly took the maid down.

After Yang learned of this, she came over quickly and ordered people to restrain all the maid's family members and put them into the woodshed.

Yang asked: "How is the situation of the master?"

Yun Qi said: "He has been given medicine, and he will wake up soon."

Yang asked again: "What's wrong with that medicine?"

Qianhe ointment is very scarce in other places, but there are several bottles here in Yunfu, and Yunxi will give some away every year and festival.Sometimes Yun Mu would send a bottle out as a favor.It's nothing more than Yang's nervousness, if there is something wrong with the Qianhe ointment sent out, then something big will happen.

Yun Xi said: "The curative effect of Qianhe Ointment on the wound can be said to be immediate, but this bottle of Qianhe Ointment has added silver thread grass. After adding this stuff, it will easily cause bleeding."

With Yun Xi's explanation, everyone understood.Yun Mu had already lost a lot of blood, if he continued to bleed...how could he save his life.If he dies because of this, neither Yun Xi nor Meng Liang who stabbed him will end up in trouble.

At this time, the other Qianhe ointments in the warehouse were also brought over, and there were only four bottles left.

Yun Xi opened the bottles, checked them one by one, and said, "There is nothing wrong with these bottles."

Yang shi heaved a sigh of relief, frowned and said: "It seems that the problem lies with that Yinzhu." Yinzhu is the maid who was taken away just now.

Yun Xi nodded, didn't speak any more, just looked at Yun Mu on the bed with a frown.

Yun Mu is also in his 40s, and the fine lines around his eyes show a bit of aging.In this family, the Yang family only treats him like a superior. Although Yun Xi and Yun Shen are respectful, they are also alienated.

The so-called lonely family is nothing more than that.

But thinking of the bloody case of the Meng family more than 20 years ago, Yun Xi couldn't sympathize with him, and even felt a faint disgust and hatred in her heart.

Human life...is it that insignificant in his eyes?Even if the Meng family took in Meng Zhiyun, they never had the idea of ​​rebellion.

Not to mention what kind of face Yun Mu had, after destroying the Meng family, he had the guts to marry Meng Zhiyun.

A thought faintly floated in Yun Xi's mind: Could it be that Meng Zhiyun at that time deliberately let herself die just because she knew about it?

Hurrying footsteps sounded, Yuchan walked over, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed fiercely, and she said softly: "That Yinzhu killed herself by biting her tongue."

Yun Xi said: "Where is her family?"

A shameful expression appeared on Yuchan's face, "Her family only has her brother, sister-in-law and her mother. A few days ago, Yin Zhu said that her mother was not in good health, so her brother and sister-in-law asked for leave to take care of her mother. Our people rushed over When she was home, I didn't see them."

Yun Xi's eyes narrowed slightly. From this point of view, Yinzhu and the others had already been prepared. It could even be said that they had expected that Meng Liang would come to confront him and start fighting.

Yun Xi was stunned, and decided to wait to ask her little uncle, at least to know how he got the news.On the other hand, she did not forget to order Li Qiu to find Yin Zhu's family.

As for other things, let's wait until Yun Mu wakes up.

The effect of her Thousand Crane Ointment was really useful. After a while, Yun Mu slowly opened his eyes, but there was not much spirit in his eyes, and there was a dead air in them.

Seeing his expression, Yun Xi became even more disgusted.

She suppressed the impatience in her heart and said, "Father, are you awake?"

Yun Mu coughed, nodded, and said, "It's not Meng Liang's fault, let him go."

Actually, Mrs. Yang doesn't have any feelings for Yun Mu. She has a good relationship with Yun Xi. Even if Yun Mu goes, it won't affect her status.It's just some occasional things that she still has to say.She made an expression of reluctance, "Master, you were hurt so badly, and Lord Menghou didn't even apologize, how could you let him go so easily?"

Yun Mu waved his hand and said, "Didn't you listen to me? I was just accidentally injured when I was sparring with him."

Maybe it's because of guilt, or maybe it's because I'm getting older, so my heart softens.Yun Mu took everything on his shoulders.

Naturally, Yang didn't want to be a bad person. After Yun Mu said that, she nodded and spread the word.

Yun Xi told Yun Mu about Yinzhu's drugging in Qianhe ointment, including the disappearance of Yinzhu's family members.

Yun Mu didn't show any surprise when he heard this, and said, "The only one who can buy Yinzhu is the Cao family."

Although the Cao family's family is notorious in the capital, they have already left the capital.However, as the hostess of the Yun Mansion, the Yun Cao family inevitably infiltrated some forces.Even if Yun Mu and Yang Shi cleaned up several times later, there would always be fish that slipped through the net.

Yinzhu's family obviously belonged to this fish that slipped through the net... When it came to the behind-the-scenes messenger, Yun Xi's first reaction was the former deposed prince...that is, the current Prince Duan.

After the second prince, Chu Yu, had been a commoner for a few years, after the New Year's Eve banquet, he and Chu Long were released because of their low profile in the past few years, and were recanonized as county kings.Although the titles are back, neither of the two princes has a real job. Compared with the respect that the third prince Chu Ling receives, Chu Xiyuan's bias is very obvious.Even if the titles were conferred, it was just to make these two people less ugly and make their face easier.

Yun Xi couldn't help but become a little suspicious. This Chu Yu started to make trouble as soon as he was released. Is he really so courageous?If it was found that the matter was related to him, Chu Xiyuan would definitely not soften his heart this time.

Troubling thoughts flashed through her mind, but she finally suppressed it.

Yun Mu had just woken up, his expression was slightly tired, his energy seemed to be taken away by a stabbing sword, and he suddenly aged more than ten years.

"You all go down, just stay with Wu Hang."

Yun Xi knew that Wu Hang was actually from Yun Shen, so she didn't say much, "Father, rest well, and then I'll send some bottles of Qianhe Ointment over."

Then he turned and left, intending to ask his little uncle Meng Liang about the matter.

When she entered the room, she found that Yun Shen had also returned. It was obvious that he rushed over immediately after receiving the news in the palace.

"Yunshen..."

In front of her, Yun Shen will show a more human side, he will be jealous, lose his temper, and occasionally even act like a baby to her.Although she had seen many faces of Yun Shen, she had never seen him so hurt at this moment.

There was a murderous intent exuding from his body, and there was puzzlement and suspicion in his eyes, but more sadness and hatred.

Although he didn't say a word, Yun Xi could understand his mood.

She stepped forward, held Yun Shen's hand, and conveyed her support to him.She felt that God was so unfair that he wanted to play tricks on her like this.Although Yun Xi had also been chased and killed by Du Yiming, her biological father, it might be because she didn't have deep feelings for Du Yiming and just treated him as a stranger, so the damage she suffered was not too big, and a little mediation would do.

But Yun Shen is different... Don't look at him being indifferent to Yun Mu all the time, but if it wasn't because of hope in his heart, how could he be so obsessed with Yun Mu's harm to him in the past.

As the saying goes, without hope, there will be no disappointment.

Yun Shen's hands were cold, but his heart was colder than his body, as if soaked in a cold pool.

In a trance, he heard a familiar voice calling his name with a gentle voice.Then a pair of warm hands held him, which seemed to make him recover from the sad atmosphere. He raised his eyes to meet his wife's concerned eyes, and wanted to say that he was fine, but he still couldn't say it.

He couldn't hide his feelings.

He once hated Yun Mu because of his cold violence towards him when he was a child, but that hatred was nothing compared to now.

Him, how could he do this?
Why is such a man with a beastly face and heart his father?

Seeing the faint red light flashing from his eyes, Yun Xi had a faint tendency to go mad, and panicked, she knocked Yun Shen unconscious with a blade.If it wasn't for Yun Shen not being defensive at all against her, she wouldn't be able to succeed so easily.

She pursed her lips and said, "I'll take Yun Shen home first, he doesn't want to stay in the Yun Mansion even if he thinks about it. Uncle, you can go back with us too, I also have some questions to ask you."

Meng Liang nodded with a sullen face, and went back with Yun Xi without saying a word.

Because Yun Mu said that Meng Liang was not to be blamed for his injuries, no one in the Yun residence stopped him.It's just that everyone's eyes unconsciously fell on Yun Xi, who was carrying Princess Yunshen... The lady who looked slender and weak could easily hold Lord Hou in her arms.

Yun Xi turned a blind eye to those gazes, and quickly brought Yun Shen home.

Seeing her hugging Yun Shen, Zhuzhu raised her face and said, "Mother, are you playing a game with dad? Zhuzhu wants to hug too."

Meng Liang's originally calm face eased a lot after seeing the cute Zhuzhu, and he hugged Zhuzhu directly.

Zhuzhu pinched her little nose, "Uncle smells bad, uncle is not good, he doesn't take a bath. Zhuzhu washes it every day, it smells delicious."

Children's childish words are the most arousing. The corners of Meng Liang's mouth curled up, and the original chill on his body disappeared, "Well, it's uncle's fault, Zhuzhu is really smart."

His eye sockets were slightly red, as if he saw someone through Zhuzhu.

Zhuzhu patted him on the shoulder seriously, and said, "Yeah, it's a good boy to correct uncle once he knows his mistakes."

This was what Yun Xi usually used to teach her, but as soon as Zhuzhu changed hands, she used it to teach Meng Liang, which is really dumbfounding.

It's just that the originally depressed mood was disturbed by the precious daughter, and the depression was also reduced a lot.

She hugged Yun Shen to the bed, and then unconsciously reached out to smooth his wrinkled eyebrows.

Meng Liang quickly coaxed Zhu Zhu to see Little Pudding, Yun Xi told him about Yin Zhu, and asked seriously: "Little uncle, who conveyed this news to you?"

The annihilation of the Meng family happened at least 20 years ago, and the evidence at that time was basically wiped out. Even though Yun Shen and Meng Liang put a lot of energy into it, they couldn't find any clues, as if there were two hands smoothing out all the traces same.

Meng Liang suddenly knew what was going on, and if no one reminded her, Yun Xi would not believe it at all.

Even though Yun Xi described what happened at that time in very concise words, Meng Liang could still feel the thrill of the time. If Yun Xi was not too familiar with her medicine, I am afraid that both of them would be tricked.

For revenge, Meng Liang didn't care what happened to him, but he wouldn't drag Yun Xi into trouble, otherwise, wouldn't he be sorry for his nephew.

His face was as black as ink, and he said, "It's a few friends from the rivers and lakes that I have known for many years."

He didn't hide anything, and told Yun Xi the identities of those people, and Yun Xi kept it in mind.These people will definitely have to investigate carefully when the time comes.It seems that Yinmen and Wanshiwu are going to be busy recently, not only to search for Yinzhu's family members, but also to investigate these people.

Yun Xi said: "It's just that I don't understand why Yun Mu wants to destroy the door of Meng's family?" In front of Meng Liang, she would not call Yun Mu her father, otherwise she would not be embarrassing Meng Liang.

Meng Liang sneered and said, "What else could it be for? Naturally, it is for power." There was deep hatred in his eyes, "It was the first emperor who really wanted the lives of the Meng family."

"After the entire Meng family was silenced, Yun Mu passed on for three generations because of his contribution to saving Jia."

Originally, when it was Yun Mu's turn to be a noble, he had to be demoted to Marquis, but because of this contribution, Yun Mu became the most beautiful Duke Yun in the capital.The members of the Cao family should also know about this, otherwise Empress Cao at that time was not considered outstanding among the ladies of the capital, but she was accused of marrying the prince Chu Xiyuan at that time as the crown princess.

This is called a reward.

The Meng family was sacrificed, and the Cao family and Yunfu were fulfilled.Originally, the Yun family and the Cao family had a tacit understanding and planned to become husband and wife.Who knew that after Yun Mu met Meng Zhiyun, he fell in love with her at first sight. When he saw her again, he insisted on marrying her and abandoned the Yuncao family.

Yun Xi opened her mouth, but finally didn't know what to say.The most hateful among them is the first emperor.It's just that the first emperor had been dead for many years, and his bones were buried in the imperial mausoleum, so there was no way to flog the corpse.

"The Meng family is loyal to Da Chu, what is the reason for the late emperor?" She vaguely felt that the main reason was her mother-in-law Meng Zhiyun's background.Meng Zhiyun, as the daughter of the deposed prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, has an extraordinary status.She even has some hidden door forces in her hands.

Meng Liang said coldly: "In the past, the deposed Prince Zhao Wang of the Northern Wei Dynasty burned down the entire palace and buried himself. Zhao Wang's grandfather's family was originally the largest wealthy businessman in the Northern Wei Dynasty, rich as an enemy. It is rumored that he will The property was buried in one place, used as recovery funds, and a treasure map was drawn."

Yun Xi's heart trembled. If this money really existed, it must have been handed over to the Meng Mansion.

Meng Liang smiled wryly and said: "Back then the Emperor loved the imperial concubine, even if the younger brother of the imperial concubine embezzled the military salary, he would have ignored it. Father used the money to support the soldiers who guarded the frontier, but he did not expect that because of missing traces, It caused such a disaster for the Meng family."

"In fact, as long as he gives an order, my father will definitely take out this property."

At that time, the Meng family took in Meng Zhiyun not only because of the kindness that the Crown Princess had for Mrs. Meng, but also because of the wealth.

Yun Xi said: "So the first emperor should also know the true identity of the mother-in-law?"

Meng Liang nodded, "It's just that he didn't dare to kill my sister." There was a slight sarcasm on his face, "At that time, the queen mother, the queen mother, was the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and she held part of the power in her hands. My sister entered her In the eyes of the late emperor, if the first emperor took action against her, I am afraid that the empress dowager would also die."

Yun Xi immediately recalled that the empress dowager was the elder sister of King Zhao's mother, and she had no children of her own, so she would try her best to protect the only blood left by her younger brother.

Within three days of the Northern Wei princess's death, the first emperor also died of a sudden illness.Yun Xi seriously suspected that it was because the empress mother, the empress dowager, was worried that his life would be detrimental to Meng Zhiyun, so she arranged everything before he died.

Meng Liang's voice was a little more choked up, "My sister knew this when she wanted to come, and she was worried that I would be eliminated, so she took me by her side all day long and didn't let me stay away from her sight."

At that time, my sister knew very well that the safest place was around her.After the death of the first emperor, taking advantage of the chaos in the capital, my sister sent him away far away, hiding his name.

Yun Xi sighed, for a woman as intelligent as Meng Zhiyun, it was hard for her to imagine that she would fall in love with someone like Yun Mu and marry him.No matter how you look at it, Yun Mu is not worthy!
"Then what do you plan to do next, little uncle?"

Meng Liang said: "I will leave the capital."

"You guys also get ready, Yun Mu...he won't live for another year." When talking about Yun Mu, his original sadness was swept away and replaced by cold hatred.

"When the sword stabbed down, I knew he would not die. If I wanted to kill him, I would definitely kill him on the spot." His voice was firm and resounding.

Yun Xi couldn't help but nodded in agreement, Meng Liang's skill...was no weaker than her and Yun Shen's.Meng Liang was the first enlightener of Yun Shen's martial arts.It seems that the sword that the little uncle was at that time was not done in a moment of anger at all, but had a plan long ago.

"I had already smeared medicine on the sword, and as the blood invaded his internal organs, his body gradually weakened, so...he won't live for a year."

Maybe it's partiality, but Yun Xi doesn't think that what the little uncle did is wrong.

"That's good, he can be regarded as getting the retribution he deserves."

"If it wasn't for Yun Shen, I would have killed him and used his blood to sacrifice the lives of dozens of people in my Meng family."

He looked at Yun Xi and said, "I should go to the palace to plead guilty."

Although the first emperor was his enemy, Meng Liang did not take his anger out on Chu Xiyuan.Over the years, if it weren't for Chu Xiyuan's care, how could Yun Shen live so well.

"Take care." Yun Xi knew how many years it would be after he left and returned to the capital.

"Take good care of Yun Shen."

He left her such a sentence, and his back was determined.

Yun Xi thought it would be good if he left, so that when Yun Mu died a year later, no one would think of him.

She watched Meng Liang gradually leave her career, then blinked and sat in front of Yun Shen's bed.

About half an hour later, Yun Shen woke up, and he rubbed his neck unconsciously.

Seeing this action, Yun Xi felt a little guilty.At that time, she was worried that she would not be able to knock Yunshen unconscious, but the force turned out to be a bit strong.

She coughed and went up to rub Yun Shen's neck herself as an apology.

Silence spread between the two.

Yun Shen suddenly opened his arms, and pulled Yun Xi into his arms, his whole weight directly on Yun Xi's body.

Yun Xi was very distressed, she had never seen Yun Shen so fragile.

I don't know how long it took, Yun Shen let go of his hand, and his expression returned to his previous calm, but the chill on his body became a little bit worse.

When he opened his eyes again, he became the lofty and alienated Duke in the eyes of the world.

"In the future, there is no need to go to that mansion again."

"Well, neither of us will go." She paused and said, "You still have me, Zhuzhu, and Little Pudding."

So...don't be so sad.He is not alone, and she will not let him alone, no matter what happens, she will face it with him.

The corner of Yun Shen's mouth hooked, "Well, there are you guys."

……

The news of what happened in Yun's mansion spread quickly, and Meng Liang also went to the palace to plead guilty.

People in the capital were talking about this matter, and everyone speculated about what Yun Mu had done that made Meng Liang want to kill him.Generally speaking, public opinion is still more in favor of Meng Liang.According to everyone's opinion, if Yun Mu was unreasonable in this matter, after Yun Mu almost died, he would definitely have to find Meng Liang to settle the score.

But what everyone saw was that Yun Mu said that he had nothing to do with Meng Liang, and Yun Shen didn't even visit his sick father, as if he didn't even want to save face.

Everyone speculated about various reasons, most of them guessed that Meng Zhiyun's death was related to Yun Mu, otherwise Yun Shen and Meng Liang wouldn't have the same attitude.But no one guessed the Meng family's extermination door.Yun Mu also tried to excuse Meng Liang with his body folded.

The parties involved all had this attitude, and Yushi couldn't impeach Meng Liang for assassinating the Duke of the State, so he could only admit it with his nose.

In the end, Chu Xiyuan fined Meng Liang one year's salary, and fined him to leave Beijing, and he was not allowed to return within three years.

Yun Xi felt that the second half of the punishment was clearly requested by Meng Liang himself.

Before Meng Liang left, he transferred all the property under his own name to Zhuzhu, making Zhuzhu become a little rich woman all at once.I have to say that Meng Liang was really partial, he only gave beads and no puddings.

Before he left, both Yun Xi and Yun Shen went to see him off.Yun Shen gave him a lot of poison, and Yun Xi, considering that it was inconvenient for him to be outside, not only gave him several bottles of Qianhe ointment, but also gave him a green luan wood jade pendant for self-defense.This jade pendant was originally for Yun Yao, but Yun Yao never had a chance to use it, so she changed hands and returned it to Yun Xi.

After this trip, he would have to wait three years before returning to Beijing. By then, everything would have been settled.

After Meng Liang left, Yun Shen was in a bad mood for several days, so his subordinates suffered.

Pei Zhenghai also cried with snot and tears that he had been drilled so that his whole body had no skin, and he was stalked so hard that he finally took away two bottles of Qianhe ointment from Yunxi.

After Yun Shen knew about this, he sneered and said, "It's because he offended Yuan Lingya that he wanted to take your Qianhe ointment as an apology." Taking his wife's things as favors, he must teach him a lesson tomorrow.

Yun Xi asked curiously: "What did he do again?" Yuan Lingya had always had a good temper, and Yun Xi had never heard of her being angry.

Yun Shen said: "Some time ago, a woman came to look for relatives with a child who looked somewhat similar to him. Although it was his stepmother's plan, the woman did have a romantic relationship with him."

Otherwise, people would not be able to calculate him.

Yun Xi understood, "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have given Qianhe ointment to him."

After Yuan Lingya got married to Da Chu, she often got in touch with Yun Xi, and Yun Xi had a good impression of her.

She suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Imperial Physician Hua is planning to retire and return home."

Physician Hua had some kind of friendship with Yun Shen, and to be precise, it was Meng Zhiyun who was kind to him.When Yun Shen was in the palace, Physician Hua also helped him a lot.Now that he is going to retire and return to his hometown, it is reasonable to give him a gift.

Yun Shen nodded. He also knew about it a long time ago, "Let's treat Imperial Physician Hua to a meal in two days."

Yun Xi said: "Okay, it's just that now that he's gone, he won't know who to invite the imperial physician in the future." How can she rest assured about the other imperial physicians.

Yun Shen said: "With me and Yun Qi here, there is no need for other doctors."

"It's true." Yun Xi also felt that she was being mediocre, forgetting that the person standing in front of her was an immortal genius doctor who had never seen her tail in the rivers and lakes.

What she and Yun Shen didn't expect was that during this treat, Imperial Physician Hua confided to them the secrets that had been buried in their hearts for many years.

It was Meng Zhiyun who made it difficult for Yun Mu to have children.
