From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 958 The Nightmare
Zongzheng Mingzhen, who was lying on the bed in the house and listening to the movement outside, ran out, and caught her before he could put on his shoes: "Xin'er!"

His eyes showed worry, and his voice changed when he was anxious.

Grabbing his arm, Mei Xin panicked and said to him like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw: "You... did you hear that, she said, she said, she said that the godmother is dead, The godmother is dead."

She couldn't hold back the whining anymore, but after a while she clenched her teeth to keep herself from crying.

Compared to crying, it is undoubtedly more heartbreaking for her. Zongzheng Mingzhen couldn't see it, and hugged her into his arms and said: "Cry if you want to cry, it will feel better when you cry."

Although he hadn't had much contact with Yuan Muqiu in these years, and every time they met, they would exchange a few words, but after the marriage was settled, she found him, and told him Mei Xin's preferences, and even talked to him Speaking of the past, I solemnly ask him to treat Mei Xin well.

Undoubtedly, she really loves Mei Xin from the bottom of her heart and treats her like her own daughter, otherwise she would not have rashly approached him and said those things to him.

Mei Xin didn't cry but trembled all over, clenched her fists tightly as if she was about to die and said: "Prepare the horse, prepare the horse immediately, I'm going to see my godmother, I'm going to see her."

Yun Luo nodded and immediately ordered people to go to the front yard to prepare the horses, then he held back his tears and got up to help Mei Xin get clothes from the house.

Zongzheng Mingzhen was very worried about her. Seeing her like this, he became more and more worried. He helped her stand up and said, "Don't worry, I'll go with you."

Crying like this before seeing anyone, it is conceivable that she will see the corpse later, and she is not a person who likes to cry, and she is also very strong. At this moment, tears are pouring like a fountain, she must be extremely sad.

Shaking her head to indicate that she didn't need it, Mei Xin forced herself to calm down and said, "Father is traveling with Uncle Wei, who is as expert as a cloud, and the person who can hurt him is definitely not an easy person. You stay and watch over the two children. I'm afraid they will wake up." You will be afraid if you don’t come to see me, don’t worry, I’ll come back as soon as I go.”

And big brother, even if he travels in a light car, there are hidden guards following him, so dangerous, it is definitely not done by one person or two people.

The capital is heavily guarded, and it is absolutely impossible for a large number of assassins to sneak in without any notice or movement. There must be tricks in it, and there must be something she doesn't know.

Who, who sent the assassin, and who would choose to do it at this time today?
Zongzheng Mingzhen was worried, but considering the safety of his two sons and the unfamiliar environment here, he thought about it and reluctantly agreed.

Putting on the clothes that Yunluo brought, Mei Xin took the knife from Sanniang and said: "You stay and take care of the house, Sanniang will follow me, the house is under martial law, the gate is closed, no one is allowed to enter or leave until I come back.

Because half of the maids and servants in the wedding banquet mansion are not hers, and Bai Yulan, who had been serving in the Duke's mansion, also brought all of them, and the people who Zongzheng Wanyin brought back from the fief to serve, she didn't know. I'm afraid that some thieves will take the opportunity to sneak in.

Having been master and servant for many years, Yun Luo understood as soon as he heard this, and immediately said: "Don't worry, Major General, I will send people to guard this place."

Only half of the [-] soldiers from the Princess's Mansion have come, and the Duke's Mansion is too big. She wants to concentrate her forces to protect the two children. As for the other people in the mansion, I believe they have people they trust to protect them. .

Realizing that this is not just her own home, Mei Xin clenched the knife in her hand and said to Zongzheng Mingzhen: "Mother and eldest sister, please explain, there must be martial law everywhere in the capital if there is such a big incident, don't go out if you have nothing to do. .”

My father and elder brother were attacked one after another, so could I be the next one, or the assassin has already gone to the princess mansion.

Knowing this, Zongzheng Mingzhen stretched out his hand to brush away a lock of hair blown by the wind on her forehead: "I'm at home, so don't worry."

It doesn't feel good to be underestimated by his wife, but he knows that Mei Xin doesn't mean that, it's just that the children are too important to her, and she doesn't feel at ease if they don't let him look at them.

Between husband and wife, Mei Xin felt that there was no need to say anything, so she snapped her fingers at San Niang and they left.

Outside the gate, Wang Geng had already gathered people and horses to wait for her, and when he saw her coming out, he immediately saluted and said, "Princess!"

Jumping up and getting on the horse, Mei Xin grabbed the reins and said: "Send someone back to the manor to inform the four tigers that the gate is closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Strengthen the guard these few days, and be careful of people getting in."

With a swipe of the whip, Mei Xin took the lead and galloped away in the dark night.

Surprised, Wang Geng ordered immediately, and then hurriedly rode his horse and chased after him.

Afraid of danger, Sanniang and Zifu raced to the front, Wang Geng and Wang Eryin caught up one left and one right, protecting Mei Xin in the middle.

Heartbroken like a knife twisted in grief, anger rose again in her heart, Mei Xin cried, shedding tears against the wind, her vision was blurred after a while.

I still remember that she missed her mother when she was a child, Yuan Muqiu pulled her out from under the bed, then hugged her on her lap and comforted her softly, saying: Miss, don’t listen to other people’s nonsense, the princess likes you the most, there is no mother in this world who doesn’t like her own child Yes, it's just that the princess is ill, and the prince picked you up because he was afraid that the princess would be tired.Eat quickly, eat well to grow up quickly, and return to Beijing with the prince when you grow up, so that you can see the princess.

She believed it, and from then on, she ate well, grew up well, and never cried again no matter who made irresponsible remarks, and even disdained disputes. She believed that her mother, Shangguan Xinrou, loved her, but she was sick and couldn't take care of her.

With this belief, she fights against her thoughts day by day, until one day she meets Shangguan Xinrou, she realizes that Yuan Muqiu lied to her, and her world collapses accordingly.

She ran to question her, even said that she was a liar, but she didn't say anything, not only didn't say anything, she hugged her tightly, let her cry, let her make trouble, and let her vent the pain in her heart.

Later, she figured it out, it wasn't that she lied to her, but that she underestimated Shangguan Xinrou's ruthlessness. She didn't know that some mothers in this world were not worthy of being human at all, even worse than animals.

Xin'er, don't torture yourself anymore, look at the prince, look at the son, what are you worried about, you have to cheer up quickly.

Miss, don’t go, I beg you, please, don’t go to the battlefield anymore, fighting is a man’s business, and you are not Mei Jiaerlang, what are you doing with your military merits?You are the daughter of Prince Liang, even if you don't do anything for the rest of your life, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Why are you working so hard?

Prince, general, take a look, take a good look, this is your own daughter, how can you bear to see her go to the battlefield?She was supposed to stay in the capital and live a life of gold and jade, and she was supposed to be like those famous ladies in the capital, but look at her, she can't even compare to the daughter of a rich merchant. Worse than a servant, she doesn't even think of herself as a girl.
