The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

Gu Wangshu suddenly laughed miserably.

"Your family was in decline. Seeing that you were all alone, your grandmother took you to the Gu family and raised you personally for six years."

"My aunt said that you have a pitiful background and she wants to treat you like her own daughter. She has never neglected you in these years."

"A year ago, when you turned fifteen and the hairpin ceremony was celebrated, my grandmother invited Mrs. Yipingaoming to choose a cousin for you. Since then, you have no longer been waiting for a cousin. My mother immediately started to choose a cousin for you. Make a great marriage, prepare a generous dowry, and just wait for you to marry in glory."

"Meng Ying, you have always been gentle, quiet, knowledgeable, and sensible. Since when did you become so ruthless?"

Gu Wangshu complained while approaching. When he stood in front of Meng Ying, his emotions were out of control and he roared:

"The Gu family treats you well, but you hurt me like this?!!"

It's okay to hurt her, so why show a heartbroken expression? It's obvious that he hurt her, but Meng Ying's eyes turned red first.

She came to Gu's family at the age of ten. When she first arrived, she was timid and timid, full of anxiety and fear of the unfamiliar environment.

In six years, she changed from a cautious and frightened little girl to a gentle and elegant lady praised by everyone.

In the entire Gu family, from grandmother to servant girl, no one dislikes her.

During the ceremony for haircutting, the lady's words about choosing a calligraphy for Meng Ying still ring in my ears.

"The word Ying comes from water, and Ying means transparent and eye-catching. It means that the water is clear, transparent and pleasing to the eye. Why not just use the word clear."

As his name suggests, Meng Qingche is as clean and gentle as water. He does not fight or grab, and is indifferent and peaceful.

But Gu Wangshu never understood why such a sensible Meng Ying chose to destroy the Gu family with her own hands.

Gu Wangshu's words hit Meng Ying like a whip, her face turned even paler, and even breathing hurt.

Meng Ying knelt down at Gu Wangshu's feet and raised her head. The rain on her face could still clearly see the tears in her eyes. The tears blurred her vision, but they could not blur the prayer inside.

She raised her cold and stiff hands to grab the hem of Gu Wangshu's skirt.

Gu Wangshu retreated as if he was electrocuted. Meng Ying's hand was empty, and she froze for a few seconds before finally hanging down weakly.

"Xiao Shu, I'm sorry..."

Gu Wangshu's face was full of ridicule.

"You knew you were sorry, but you still accused me of pushing His Highness into the water yesterday?"

"He Lianjin is the prince, and the only legitimate son of the Queen. Killing the prince is a serious crime of genocide. Not only do you want to harm me, but you also want to destroy the Gu family!"

Qiu Chi silently held an umbrella for Gu Wangshu, and the look in his eyes that looked at Meng Ying no longer had any tolerance, but was replaced by anger.

The Gu family was so kind to her, what else could she be dissatisfied with?

Looking at Meng Ying again, when she heard the words "family destroyed and people dead", her whole body began to tremble, and she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes.

"No, the imperial concubine promised me that as long as I identify you, she will let you go, and she will not hurt anyone else in the Gu family. She promised me..."

Rest?

Isn't that the son of Zhou Mingde, the minister of punishment?

His name was Zi Yan, and his courtesy name was Xizhi. He was the husband whom his mother fell in love with for Meng Ying.

Thinking of this person, Gu Wangshu's mind buzzed, and he suddenly realized something.

Three days ago, a murder occurred in Yong'an City.

Zhou Ziyan, the legitimate son of the Minister of Justice, accidentally killed a dandy, because the dandy molested Zhou Ziyan's fiancée in broad daylight and attempted to kidnap her and take her by force.

Zhou Ziyan was angry and kicked him to the ground. Unexpectedly, this kick directly killed the dude.

Afterwards, Concubine Wen suddenly came forward and said that the deceased was her brother.

Zhou Ziyan was convicted of a capital crime and put on death row. He was to be executed after seven days.

How could it be such a coincidence that before the palace banquet started, Concubine Wen's brother uncharacteristically teased a common girl? How could it be such a coincidence that the person he was teasing was Meng Ying, and how could it be such a coincidence that Zhou Ziyan kicked him to death.

What's even more coincidental is that the officials attending the palace banquet happened to be stuck in the second rank, while the Minister of Justice was a third-rank official. This meant that the Minister of Justice and his family would not be able to enter the palace on the day of the palace banquet, and they would not be able to see Concubine Wen. There is no way to plead for his son.

In the end, the hope of saving Zhou Ziyan fell on his fiancée Meng Ying.

It turns out that in order to get rid of the female relatives of the Gu family, this line was stretched so long.

It's such a big game of chess. Everyone in the Gu family is a pawn in this game, and every move is planned perfectly by Concubine Wen.

Gu Wangshu's eyes suddenly turned blood red, his hands clenched into fists, and his body could not stop shaking with hatred.

"So, you framed me for murdering the prince just to save Zhou Ziyan?"

"Riding my life and that of the entire Gu family just for your wishful husband?"

"Six years of nurturing and the care and love of the whole family are no match for one man?"

"Meng Ying, you..."

The hatred was too strong and the grievance was too deep. Gu Wangshu was at a loss for words. Any unpleasant words were not enough to describe her hatred for Meng Ying. There was a fire in her heart that could not come up or go down.

"No, that's not the case. Xiao Shu, please listen to my explanation."

Meng Ying shook her head desperately, cried and rushed over to hug Gu Wangshu's legs.

Seeing this, Qiu Chi immediately stopped her and pushed her hard, causing Meng Ying to fall heavily into the water.

The splashing water dazzled her eyes, and for a moment, the sky and the earth turned gray, and she seemed to be in an ice cave.

She was crawling in the water, her outstretched arms unable to reach Gu Wangshu. In a daze, the person she wanted to catch was drifting away, and she would never look back or forgive again.

Meng Ying collapsed and cried:

"I'm stupid, I'm stupid, I'm brainless."

"Xi Zhi sentenced me to death because I was arrested and imprisoned. I went to ask Concubine Wen to be lenient, but she asked me to frame you for murdering His Highness. I refused. I didn't agree to her promise."

"However, she used the Gu family to threaten me. If I didn't cooperate with her, she would go to the emperor to accuse the Gu family of collaborating with the enemy and treason to destroy the nine clans of the Gu family."

"It's your life on one side, and the lives of hundreds of Gu family members on the other. I can't help it, I really can't help it..." All the rest of the words were drowned in crying.

Rain and tears mixed with muddy water, and Meng Ying couldn't see anything. She grabbed her hands in the air and finally grabbed the hem of Gu Wangshu's skirt, refusing to let go.

Seeing her crying so hard that she was out of breath, Gu Wangshu recalled the scene in her previous life.

That night, seven bloody corpses lay beside the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, and the water was dyed red with blood.

Meng Ying pointed at Concubine Wen and cried:

"You lied to me - you lied to me -"

She rushed towards the imperial concubine like crazy, but was beaten to a bloody head by the strong nanny.

She lay on the corpse and cried until her heart broke. She was weak, helpless and pitiful. In the end, she hit her head on a bluestone pillar and died, saying she was sorry even before she died.

In her previous life, she didn't understand why Meng Ying felt so miserable after their death since she chose to harm them.

Now that he finally figured out the reason, Gu Wangshu looked at Meng Ying with increasingly complicated eyes.

All the female relatives of the Gu family died because of her, and the rebellion of the Gu family started because of her. Even though she knew that Meng Ying had difficulties, she still couldn't forgive her.

However, Meng Ying committed suicide with hatred in her previous life. In this life, she knelt down and cried to admit her mistake. Although she hated her, she couldn't kill her.

Gu Wangshu's heart became knotted.

"Meng Ying, have you ever thought about what would happen to my grandfather, uncle and brothers if my grandmother and I died in the palace?"
