Foster son and husband

Chapter 77 The Past
Chapter 77 Before
In the darkness, Meiniang asked softly: "What mother said is true? Heng'er is really not the Hou Ye's own flesh and blood? Meiniang... I, I did such a thing with the dead Qi Ye?"

Mama Wang said in a hoarse voice: "It's true! On the night of weddings and candles in the bridal chamber, the Hou was so drunk that he was unconscious, but the next night you had your period, and the Hou was really kind to you at that time. Kuishui, he concealed the past for you. Only the three of us know about it. Master Hou said that he is about to go to the battlefield. Without Yuan Pa, your position is unstable. I am afraid that the people in the mansion will treat you poorly. I took care of the dirty clothes and trousers for you, and cleaned them secretly... It's all my fault for the old slave, who didn't take good care of you... At that time, Miss Biao came to accompany you every day, and took you to the study in the east courtyard to read books and paint, She just doesn't want us to follow, this old slave never thought that there is another door in the east courtyard, you and Qiye, that's how it is..."

Meiniang was a little puzzled: "So, Lord Hou is really good to Meiniang, but she...why did I fall in love with Qiye in the blink of an eye? And have Heng'er with him?"

Mama Wang sighed: "Grandma probably didn't mean it at the time. After what happened, Cuixi and the others would never dare to tell them when it happened and she came back crying like that--you have the desire to die, I am the one who is desperate Hold on, Master Qi came to the room to see it once, grandma said: If you come again, I will die! Master Qi dare not come again, but since then the eldest wife always asks people to send many things. Grandma is frowning every day and dare not see people , crying bitterly every night, and finally fell ill. Before I could think about it, I hurried to report to the eldest wife. The eldest wife invited a doctor to come, and she diagnosed a happy pulse! Grandma was about to hang her beam that night, and I was the one who knelt and cried, I beg grandma to be merciful to the fact that the Qin family is not prosperous, there is only one seedling left for the uncle, the grandma was given a marriage by the emperor, and the waiting master is fighting at the border, if grandma dies in such an unexplained way while pregnant, I am afraid that her mother's family will be implicated. How will Mrs. Shi survive? Uncle has studied hard for ten years, and don’t even think about any fame in this life. The Qin family has truly fallen since then, and there is no hope! People who have fought in battle since ancient times, nine out of ten will not come back , Master Hou’s life or death is unknown, why don’t we save our lives and see if we can turn things around... Grandma listened to my words, cried to death, and finally comforted me, and did not seek death. Later Miss Biao often came again, and the two of them I went to the east courtyard to study again. Although I didn't see it, I knew that Master Qi must be there. Grandma was despised by others in the house and was not allowed to raise her head. After being accompanied by Master Qi, she gradually began to smile...Grandma didn't know, I I was terribly afraid, but seeing grandma feel at ease, I, I would like you to be like that! At that time, I heard that the war was tense, and I, I really thought about it, if something happens to the Marquis, that's all right!"

Mei Niang was stunned for a while, groping to hold Mama Wang's hand, and found that her hand was shaking, Mama Wang's voice became cold:

"Grandma is the master, but I raised her! I haven't harmed anyone, but if, if someone gets in the way of grandma's life, I'd rather that person be eliminated first!"

Meiniang firmly grasped her hand, and said softly: "Good mother, Meiniang understands and understands your heart!"

Mama Wang sniffed and continued: "Grandma's belly is getting bigger and bigger, she is going to be a mother, and she has become more courageous. Sometimes she dares to go to the study room of the East Courtyard to meet Qi Ye without Miss Biao's company... …until Brother Heng was born, Master Qi, he dared to visit the room a few times, hugged Heng Er, and gave grandma a lot of clothing and jewelry. Xi, Cui Lian and Cui Si saw it."

Meiniang only felt her face was hot, and touched her own face: Adultery, Qin Meiniang, who is as cowardly as a mouse, dare to experience it!
"I don't know what Seventh Master said to Grandma, but Grandma's heart is settled when Grandma Hou comes back. Grandma doesn't seem to be afraid at all. In Grandma's eyes, Master Hou's fright and anger are not as good as Heng'er crying and letting go." She is worried!"

Mei Niang shrugged her shoulders in the dark: Being a mother is strong!There's no way, poor Xu Junying, who took so much effort to marry Mei Jiaoniang and came back, was so happy for nothing, but he was eliminated just like that!
The original resentment, resentment, dislike and contempt for him in my heart were swept away, replaced by sympathy and pity, a man who was betrayed by both his wife and younger brother couldn't afford to be hurt!
"Seventh Master followed Uncle to the front line, Grandma didn't show much reluctance, she just said to Heng'er: Wait, dear son, when Daddy comes back after earning credit, it's time for our family to reunite!"

So it turns out that Xu Junjie's motivation for going to the battlefield is here. After earning military merits, he came back to compete with his brother for his sister-in-law!
Meiniang bit her lip, not knowing what to say, this Qi Ye is really, a bit whimsical.

He didn't know his elder brother, Xu Junying, who cared about his face and cherished his reputation, probably he would rather kill Qin Meiniang than let her leave him and marry his younger brother Xu Junjie.

"The sad news of Master Qi's death came back. The eldest wife cried to death, and grandma passed out a few times in Tsinghua University. I didn't eat or sleep in those days. I stayed by your side. I didn't let Cuixi and the others approach me. I just said Grandma is sick again, suffering from heartache... Uncle brought Qiye's coffin back to the house, and you ran out like crazy, it was Laonu and Cuixi who were holding you back, not letting you go out, so you didn't get there Lingqian went to cry, and later became really sick, and would not eat or drink, and wanted to die, even Heng Er's crying could not call back your heart..."

Mother Wang's sobbing was intermittent, Mei Niang was silent, and after a while she sighed and asked: "I don't remember this at all, why did mother never tell me before, but now she is willing to talk about it?"

Mother Wang choked up and said: "Grandma died, I just said everything is over, no matter how Lord Hou treats me, I have no complaints. Unexpectedly, grandma woke up again and didn't remember the past at all. Master Hou said to me in private : You should be like your grandma, you don’t remember anything! Master Hou thought that Cuixi and the others knew about this, so I told Master Hou that only the old slaves were serving grandma! Master Hou understood, but he sent a message: The fate of the old slave and grandma can only live in the Hou Mansion, and as Mrs. Hou, the Qin family will be safe and sound. If they leave the Hou Mansion, not only the grandma and the people around them will not be able to survive, but the Qin family will not be able to survive! That's why I didn't help you remember it long ago, but now I insist on letting you know! Grandma has changed her temperament, and is more capable and scheming than before, and she refuses to be despised by others, but we, we are different from others, no matter what With my head down, I can only endure everything, not for anything else, look at Heng'er, for our Qin family, the uncle's future is very important!"

Meiniang gritted her teeth: "Damn Xu Junying! He threatened mom like that!"

Ms. Wang hurriedly came up to cover her mouth: "My grandma! Don't dare to scold like this, in case people hear it... Lord Hou is actually considered good. Although it is for the sake of face, he will allow you to live a good life after all. Brother Deheng, you, your mother and son occupy the position of his first wife and eldest son! Grandma doesn't remember, but I remember how kind he was to grandma when he was newly married. He should have a child of his own. I thought he had feelings for grandma, but grandma no longer remembers the past. It would be great if you...you can still be a loving couple. Unfortunately, the old lady wants to marry another Zhuang for him Girl, alas! This is fate, grandma think carefully, don't be impatient in everything, think more about our Qin family uncle!"

Mei Niang stretched out her right index finger and rubbed the center of her eyebrows, and said: "I see, my mother told me to lie down for a while, I won't be able to sleep, I have to think about it, and sort out this thread, it's too messy!"

"Okay, okay, grandma, lie down, lie down!"

Ms. Wang hurriedly stood up and helped Meiniang tuck the quilt. Meiniang said, "Mom, go and lie down too!"

Mother Wang responded, put down the curtain, stood in front of the bed for a while, then turned around and walked slowly towards the soft couch.

Mei Niang was lying under the quilt, blinking her eyes, her thoughts were still chaotic, she didn't know where to start, she simply closed her eyes, she was not the master, she had nothing to do with herself and hung up before talking, her consciousness was fuzzy, she accidentally fell asleep up.

Poor Mama Wang lay on the soft couch with her eyes open, and looked worriedly at the direction of the bed from time to time, fearing that Mei Niang would be too sad and sad.

In the long night, there are still people in Tsinghua University who can't sleep. That is Xu Junying in the study of East University. He has no sleepiness, and he refuses to lie down on the bed. The book was open, the pages hadn't been turned for a long time, and he couldn't read a single word on it.

In my mind, the faces of several people kept changing——the old lady's loving face, Zhuang Yulan's pale and slightly shy smile, and Mei Niang's beautiful face. He, being careful with him for a while, lowered his eyebrows and dared not show his air!

When I went to the old lady's room to say hello, the old lady kept complaining that Mei Niang was ignorant and her etiquette was too poor, she sighed and said to him: "When the queen mother announces me to enter the palace in the new year, I will ask for an order for you, and the orchid Your son is married. Now that you are back in Beijing, it is inevitable that you will be entertained to show your face in the court. When you need to bring your family to show up, other people's wives are noble women, but your wife can't be on the stage, so how can you do it right? Lan'er After you come here, it will be fine! Two ladies, Lan'er is with you to socialize outside, Meiniang only takes care of some internal affairs at the mansion, Zhongfu can let Meiniang take care of it first, Lan'er can get started slowly, Brother Heng I'm still young, don't be in a hurry to establish a son, wait for Lan'er to give birth to a son, compare the two, establish the elders and establish the virtuous, then let's talk!"

The old lady was sitting on a low couch, behind her was a carved mahogany seat with six flowers and birds in the spring breeze. Behind the screen, a slender and slender figure swayed slightly. Xu Junying knew that it was Zhuang Yulan who was eavesdropping. To be honest, he didn't like her behavior. , his future wife should be dignified and generous, open and aboveboard, and how sneaky she looks like!

Tonight, he officially told Meiniang that he was going to marry a new wife. She asked him the reason for another marriage, and blamed him for finding another new love, but left her to live alone. Qin Meiniang, how dare she say such a thing!
I really want to send her a word: If you know today, why bother at the beginning!But he finally said nothing and left indifferently.
