Rebirth of a famous family: Mala's first wife

Chapter 222 Unhappy Retribution
"Whatever I want, I will try to get it myself." Mei Xiaodong said confidently.

"You want to get it yourself? Do you think fame and fortune are so easy?!" Mei Hu snorted.

Back then, he was granted the title of Duke because of his achievements in founding the country.With the stability of the dynasty, even if you want to get a Marquis Earl, it is very difficult.

"Is fame and wealth the whole of life? I don't think so. I believe that the woman I love has the same idea as me." Thinking of Fu Junya, Mei Xiaodong smiled gently on his face.

"You..." Mei Hu stared blankly at her grandson, as if she didn't know him at all.

Mei Xiaodong raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if he had seen the ideal life beckoning to him.

"Grandpa, I really don't want much, and I hope you can fulfill it!" He solemnly said again.

Mei Hu touched the white beard under his chin, and said slowly, "What if I refuse to agree?"

Mei Xiaodong stood up calmly, with a calm smile on her face, and said leisurely, "Then, I don't mind letting Second Uncle learn more lessons in the sky prison. It hasn't been so long in this mansion. It's lively..."

Let this mansion have a good "lively" time, which is also one of the links he expected.Hehe, it's no wonder the old man can stand it just because of Mrs. Pei's cries and fuss!

Mei Hu's tiger eyes flashed, and finally revealed a bit of a bitter smile.

"Judging from your tone, it seems that you have exhausted your plans. Are you really the child I taught you?"

Mei Xiaodong shivered slightly, and said confidently, "Didn't Grandpa teach me that to be a human being is to value love and righteousness, and to be brave in taking responsibility. If I discover a serious illness in the mansion and let it develop, then I will really fail your teaching." !"

"After all, he's still a young man, full of vigor, and has the courage to cut flesh and heal wounds!" Mei Hu sighed.

Mei Xiaodong smiled lightly, her light blue robe stretched without wind, as high and peaceful as the blue sky after the rain.

Mei Hu finally made a decision, "Forget it, since you started this matter, it's up to you to choose the way to end it. Your request, I...agree."

The last sentence sounds extremely forced.But what if he doesn't agree?He didn't have much time left, it was impossible for him to be like the young man in front of him, looking at all kinds of possibilities like this young man in front of him.
"Grandson thanked grandpa!" Mei Xiaodong bowed deeply.

His ecstasy was beyond words.Mei Hu couldn't help sighing in her heart, what kind of girl could make this proud grandson willingly bow down at her feet?Would you rather give up this easy-to-get wealth and pursue the so-called freedom with her?

"Xiaodong, you're not too young now. As a grandfather, I only hope to see you get married soon, grow branches and leaves, and hug your big fat boy, so that I can rest in peace!" Mei said. Hu patted Mei Xiaodong on the shoulder, speaking sincerely.

It sounded like a last word.A sour feeling suddenly rushed into the eyes from the heart, Mei Xiaodong felt sad, and forced a smile, "Yes, Grandpa, you will see this day soon!"

He could tell that the old man had aged a lot in just half a day.Obviously, the internal strife in the mansion has hit the old man hard.And I was one of the promoters of this internal strife.The second uncle was certainly at fault, but how could he himself be a grandson who knows how to be filial?
……

After this day, the old Duke Mei Hu fell ill.It is said to be a disease, but in fact there are no particularly serious symptoms, it is just dizziness and fatigue, lack of breath and lazy talk.Just impatient to see people.All day long, the gate of the courtyard was closed tightly, and except for the two stewards who needed to take care of him, no one else was seen. Even Mrs. Pei came to visit and was turned away.

In a few days, nearly one-third of the officials of the Ministry of Industry were arrested and imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment.Mei Changning was impressively among them.Rao was mentally prepared. When they saw Mei Changning put on heavy shackles and left home, Mrs. Pei and Mei Changning's wife still burst into tears on the spot.

Mrs. Pei took two daughters-in-law and a large group of maids and women, knelt and cried outside the Songfeng Hall, Mei Hu never showed up.Mrs. Pei cursed in secret so many times, and after a day and a night of fussing, she finally got rid of her thoughts on this aspect, and turned to her natal family for help, wanting to ask them to help intercede in front of the emperor.

The Pei family, however, seemed to stay out of the matter completely.It is only inferred that in the past few days, a total of more than a dozen officials have impeached the Ministry of Industry, pointing out that the officials of the Ministry of Industry have shoddy and enriched their own pockets in many important fortifications, neglected human lives, and failed the emperor's grace, which has already angered Longyan.The emperor has ordered a strict investigation, and will not stop until the truth is found out, so no matter who goes up to speak at this time, they will only ask for trouble and seek their own death...

Mrs. Pei was desperate, and finally thought of her nephew Mei Xiaodong.

She ordered someone to prepare a full 5 taels of silver, and went to negotiate with Mei Xiaodong.

"I know that Xiaodong has always hated me for these years. He has long been suspicious, suspected that my nominal grandmother, in the process of being a housekeeper, secretly transferred the property of the big house to him..."

Mei Xiaodong smiled after receiving the banknote.

"It's only 5 taels, so you want to send me away? It seems that in the eyes of my grandmother, my second uncle is just a low life, ha ha!" Mei Xiaodong raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned to Lou Yi who was beside him laughed.

"Master, what should we do now?" Lou Yi bowed and asked for instructions.

"Heavenly law reincarnates, retribution is not good, how much they ate me at the beginning, how much they should spit out now. You can just accept this money. As for my second uncle, the brothers in Tianlong will take good care of me Take care of him..." Mei Xiaodong propped his chest with one hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled casually.

Lou Yi also grinned, "Master, don't worry, the environment in the sky prison is very good, except for the smelly cell, the rotten food, and swarms of cockroaches and mice. The second master lived for a few days, and he is already used to it." of."

"Well, it's good to be comfortable."

Mei Xiaodong lay on the rocking chair, patted the chair body with her fingers rhythmically, and slowly fell asleep with a smile on her face.

Think back to when his mother, Princess Wuhu, married, how many dowries she brought with her!Those were originally reserved for him to get married in the future, but when he opened the warehouse when he was an adult, what was left in the huge cage?Those rare things were either stolen or returned after being worn out, and they were not even a tenth of the original price!

Mrs. Pei, together with her eldest son Mei Changning and eldest daughter-in-law He Shi, had the guts to do such a rebellious thing, which can be said to have ruined the atmosphere of the British government!They should have expected today's end.No matter how sad grandfather is, he should not soften his heart...

Lou Yi sighed softly, and gently took the door out.After all, the master is still kind. He suffered such a big dumb loss when he was a child, and now he handles it lightly, and he didn't blame more people...

And the reason why he didn't move for so many years, but he couldn't help but take action recently, thinking about it, he still feels sorry for Miss Fu, and wants to help her remove some future obstacles in advance!
　I have also become a late-watching family.
