The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 259
A hesitant expression appeared on Meng Zhiwen's face.

To be honest, if Meng Haoyu hadn't been agitating and said it was Yuechan's idea, and Meng Zhiwen thought that Yuechan's words were never true, so he made up his mind to apologize.

But now Liu Mei's words are also reasonable. If he doesn't plead guilty, maybe the prince can still protect the Meng family, but if he pleads guilty, the emperor will definitely punish him, and then the prince will blame him, even Yue'e Also be implicated, it seems that the harm outweighs the benefit.

Meng Haoyu couldn't see it, if Liu Mei continued talking, Meng Zhiwen would be persuaded.

He hurriedly stepped forward: "Father, the Jiangnan Salt Administration has always been in the Emperor's pocket, and the officials in charge of the Salt Administration are also the Emperor's confidantes. The Emperor will never allow anyone to intervene when it comes to the national economy and people's livelihood. Now the wife and the prince are rashly intervening." , the crown prince may be blamed, but if our Meng family doesn’t plead guilty, or make a show of it, the emperor will never stop.”

Seeing Meng Haoyu's words, Ji Wanrong also hurriedly said: "My lord, it's the water transport, and it took so many years for the fifth prince to infiltrate it. If our family intervenes, it will definitely hinder the interests of the fifth prince. This is our own family, so it doesn't make sense." If you listen to it, the emperor is in the prime of his life, and the crown prince ascends the throne, I'm afraid it's... Besides, it's not necessarily..."

She didn't speak clearly, but anyone who is not a fool can understand that the emperor is very strong, and he can live for another 30 years. Whether the prince can ascend the throne or not is another matter. Now that the fifth prince is powerful and known as a virtuous king, he can pull the prince down if he can't help it.

Ji Wanrong's words were also said by her when she was married to the Meng family and chatting with Yuechan for a while. Ji Wanrong didn't know what it meant at first, but she took it home and said that her father and brother are all understanding people. After a little guessing, it becomes clear that the Ji family and family are now very strict in their duties, except for being loyal to the emperor, they do not interfere in anything else.

The Ji family is like this, but the Meng family is not clear about helping the prince to do things and instigating the prince to collect money. The emperor sees it in his eyes, and he will understand what he will think in his heart. Just think about it.

In the eyes of the emperor, the Meng family is his subordinates, but all those in power want their subordinates to be loyal to themselves, and they don't want the subordinates to be mixed with their sons, regardless of whether the son is his heir or not. This is what he does not want to see.

And if the Meng family insisted on this, it would be a big taboo for the emperor.

After Ji Wanrong finished speaking, Meng Zhiwen was thinking about it, but Liu Mei was in a hurry. Yue'e married into the prince's mansion. From Liu Mei's point of view, the prince must be the emperor in the future, and Ji Wanrong said such words, straight It stabbed Liu Mei's heart.

In a fit of anger, Liu Mei didn't bother to plead with Meng Zhiwen, she rushed forward and stretched out her hand with pointed nails to scratch Ji Wanrong: "Bitch, what are you talking about, how could the prince...you are the one who said such rebellious words Can you tell me?"

Ji Wanrong had been on guard against Liu Mei for a long time, so she quickly hid away. Seeing the situation, Meng Haoyu grabbed Ji Wanrong and hid her behind him with a sneer: "Madam said that, maybe she is guilty of guilt."

Meng Zhiwen was still measuring before, but now seeing Liu Mei's madness, he immediately made up his mind: "Come on, lock up the wife, and don't let her out without my order."

Several women responded, tied Liu Mei up with a rope, and pushed her out.

In order to prevent Liu Mei from yelling something outrageous, one of the women even covered Liu Mei's mouth with a silk handkerchief.

Meng Zhiwen kept watching, and when Liu Mei left, his shoulders drooped immediately, and his face showed a bit of decay, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"Yu'er, what will happen to our Meng family in the future?"

Meng Haoyu was startled, and frowned: "Father, as long as Yuechan is here, our Meng family will not be defeated."

Meng Haoyu was so confident that Meng Zhiwen also cheered up: "Forget it, forget it. After all, Liu Mei has made the Meng family tired. Let's plead guilty to the emperor. No matter how we deal with it, we are not allowed to complain. Our ancestors were able to create a Meng family with nothing. If you don't believe it, we can't let the Meng family regain its glory."

"Yes, my father taught me the lesson!" Meng Zhiwen did not lose confidence, and Meng Haoyu was also relieved.

Meng Zhiwen looked at Ji Wanrong again: "Mr. Ji, in the future, you will need to support the Meng family's backyard. If you don't have enough money, you must tell the truth. Yu'er and I will find a way."

Ji Wanrong saluted and laughed: "Father, my daughter-in-law knows about it. Earlier, my daughter-in-law and my younger sister talked about it. The younger sister said it's okay, and taught my daughter-in-law how to manage the family property. Now, my daughter-in-law is slowly getting used to it. After a while, these The industry will benefit."

That being the case, Meng Zhiwen was also relieved.

He nodded slightly: "You are a sensible person, not as confused as your wife. I am very relieved that the Meng family will be taken care of by you."

After receiving Meng Zhiwen's praise, Ji Wanrong just smiled, her face was indifferent, neither arrogant nor irritable, no matter how magnanimous she was, compared with Liu Mei, she could tell if she was superior or inferior.

As soon as Meng Haoyu led Ji Wanrong out of the hall, his face turned pale.

Ji Wanrong glanced at him worriedly, he strode into his room, and Ji Wanrong followed.

As soon as he entered the room, Meng Haoyu grabbed Ji Wanrong: "Wanrong, you will go to the Nine Princes Mansion to see Yuechan tomorrow, no, today. I thought about it, and my wife's concerns are reasonable. After all, the prince is not small now. If we want to punish our Meng family, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight back."

Wanrong was surprised: "It's not like this!"

"Why not!" Meng Haoyu stomped anxiously: "You must ask my sister what her plan is. If possible, ask her to ask the Nine Kings to help our family. No one in Chang'an City knows the prince's temper. Unbearably arrogant, if he really annoys our family, I'm afraid it's..."

Wanrong was startled, and whispered: "I see, I'll see my sister in a while, don't worry, my sister is the safest, I'm afraid there will be a way."

Only then did Meng Haoyu heave a sigh of relief, and urged Wanrong to see Yuechan one after another.

Wan Rong has always been very obedient, so she changed her clothes, brought a few girls with her, regardless of the hot weather outside, got into the carriage, and went straight to the Nine Princes' Mansion.

Yuechan just slept with Gao Zixuan in the afternoon, Huan'er added some more ice cubes to the ice basin, it was obvious that the room was getting cooler, so she led the girls back out.

Gao Zixuan was lying high on the bed, with one arm around Yuechan and the other by his side, sleeping very sweetly.

Yuechan was resting on his arm, with a sweet smile on her lips, she didn't know what kind of dream she was having.

At this moment, a soft voice came from outside asking: "Are the prince and princess waking up soon?"

A little girl lowered her voice: "I just fell asleep for a while, it's still early!"

The previous man said: "What should I do, the young lady of the Meng family is here to visit, the princess..."

The little girl curled her lips: "What kind of weather is this? The sun has melted the ground. It's as hot as a steamer. What is the eldest and young lady of the Meng family coming to our house to do? I don't care about the time. Come whenever you want..."

The man said: "Don't complain, just say something!"

The girl waved her hand: "I'll show you the way, you can ask Huan'er, she was brought over by the Meng family, and she has always been favored."

Before he finished speaking, Huan'er said, "What are you talking about?"

The two girls quickly stood up and saluted, and the little girl said: "Grandma Meng's family is here."

Huan'er was startled, knowing something was going on, and hurriedly said: "Please come in first, take young mistress to sit in the flower hall for a while, I will report to the princess after a while."

The previous girl must have invited someone to go down.

Huan'er sent the little girl away, and sat down at the door, doing embroidery while waiting for Yuechan to wake up.

Yuechan didn't sleep for a long time, she woke up for a while, sat up, and heard Huaner say: "Princess, the young mistress of the Meng family is here."

Yuechan couldn't help laughing: "You girl, maybe you have a good ear, you will know why I just woke up."

She sat up and was about to get out of bed to put on her shoes, at this moment Gao Zixuan also woke up, rubbed his eyes and sat up, his eyes were clouded, he lost his usual brilliance and luxury, and showed a bit of kindness and gentleness.

He looks good, and Yuechan, who was looking straight at him like this, felt soft in her heart, and said softly: "I quarreled with you, you are tired from the past few days, it is rare that you have time to sleep well, you should sleep a little longer .”

Gao Zixuan hummed confusedly and obediently, and then he heard a thud, and lay back straight on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Yuechan couldn't help laughing, she put on her shoes and combed her hair while saying, "Please young mistress come here."

Huan'er went out, and after a while invited Ji Wanrong to the small hall outside, Yuechan moved over, looked at Ji Wanrong's white face, a little flustered, and asked in surprise: "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

When Ji Wanrong saw Yuechan, as if seeing a savior, she grabbed Yuechan's hand: "Sister, please help us think of a good way."

What's the matter?

Yuechan was even more puzzled.

Ji Wanrong sighed, and explained the cause and effect: "My lord's words about my wife are also reasonable, so let me ask you what to do? What my wife has done, we need to finish it for her, no matter whether the emperor or the prince The Meng family can't afford it."

Yuechan heard this, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and she sneered: "At this point, don't tell me our family still wants to please both sides? If you become the prince, you will offend the emperor. If you are loyal to the emperor, you will naturally offend the prince. My wife is a fool. Yes, it’s not me who has brought the family to such an extent, the master and elder brother should die, such hesitation is not the way to make a big deal.”

Ji Wanrong originally asked for favors, but Yuechan said it all, and she felt a little annoyed, but she didn't dare to offend Yuechan, so she could only whisper: "My sister said that, but she didn't put it on anyone. Who is not in a hurry, no matter what, the master and the young master have good ideas."

Although Yuechan disapproved in her heart, she would rather offend the prince to death in the Meng family. Anyway, with her, the Ninth Princess, and the emperor watching, even if she is dismissed from office, she will definitely not starve to death. When the lost third prince comes to power, it will be the time when the Meng family rises. At that time, the Meng family will be much stronger than it is now.

It's a pity that she couldn't tell Ji Wanrong what she was saying.

No matter what, Meng Zhiwen and Meng Haoyu were her relatives, and Yuechan had to think of a good way.

Here she was contemplating, but she didn't want a deep voice to come from the inner room: "What's so difficult about this, my lord can give you some advice."

As soon as the voice sounded, Ji Wanrong didn't expect that the Ninth Prince was at home, but she was taken aback. She quickly stood up and said solemnly: "I have seen the Ninth Prince myself."

The listener said: "Excuse me, they are all from my own family, so there is no need to be more polite."

As soon as the words fell, Gao Zixuan came in wearing a white dress, embroidered with a gorgeous golden dragon pattern, and the dragon's eyes were dotted with large sapphires, this white dress made him look magnificent, he His sword eyebrows were raised lightly, the corners of his lips were slightly parted, and he wore a wicked smile, which made him extremely flamboyant.

As soon as Gao Zixuan entered, Yuechan's eyes lit up, she stood up and asked him to sit down.

Ji Wanrong dodged it and didn't dare to sit down, Yuechan smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, sit down, the prince has always been good-tempered, and he is also from his own family, so how can he be so polite."

Ji Wanrong secretly thought, what a good temper, you are the only one who said that, who in Chang'an doesn't know that the Nine Kings have always been domineering, so naturally they have to be cautious in front of him.
