I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

Bai Zhi was not satisfied with Meng Ying's answer, but there was nothing she could do.

She has no soldiers now, and no one to use. The only bargaining chip may be Meng Ying's feelings for her.

But a little bit of emotion is nothing in the face of many major events.

But it's not that she's disappointed in her relationship, but that she has a clearer understanding of the boundaries of relationships.

Responsibility, yearning, and pursuit are just one of thousands of emotions. Lust and love are just one of them, nothing special.

She was indeed angry at first, angry that they kept saying they loved each other but did not help.

Later, she calmed down and figured it out. Whether it was Meng Ying or Zhuo Yao, there were many things that influenced their decisions. They were all thoughtful people and would identify what was most important to them.

They don't help her because there are more important things in their hearts than her.

Just like she didn't accommodate Meng Jing.

There is no point in blaming them, achieving the goal is the most important thing.

Meng Ying has promised to give her an explanation and leave it as soon as possible.

Bai Zhi raised her head with tears in her eyes and sniffed, "Really?"

She was hysterical just now, but now she behaved like this. Meng Ying noticed the unreasonable change, but still responded, "Of course."

"Are you really going to cut off Mei Shaohong's head?"

Meng Ying was stunned for a moment. He only said to give an explanation, not to behead him, but she equated beheading with an explanation.

Meng Ying shook her head and laughed, "Of course I will give you an explanation."

Bai Zhi didn't get any favors either. She scolded the old fox secretly and turned away, "Just like you said, Jing'er and I don't have a good relationship. You, the father, have to be responsible. We all owe him something, and no one can." Don’t even think about running away!”

Falling in love with Jing'er together is also one of the goals.

"Yes, Madam is right, but Jing'er doesn't want to get close to you, what should we do?"

"Yeah..." Bai Zhi is also worried about this, "He has been sleeping next to Miss Yuke these past few days, and he won't follow me no matter what!"

And it got worse and worse. Meng Jing was a little polite at first, but later he wanted to glare at people with his nostrils when he saw her. Bai Zhi had a headache.

"Sa Lan does have a plan."

Bai Zhi raised her head, her eyes full of expectation, "Tell me what you want?"

"Jinger is still willing to sleep next to Sa Lan, otherwise you come to Sa Lan's room at night..."

When Bai Zhi heard this, the corners of her mouth immediately drooped, "Ha! So full of tricks!"

"Why does Madam think that Sa Lan is scheming? It's obvious that Sa Lan is serious and wants to use Jing'er to get close to you. Isn't this the best strategy?" Meng Ying raised the corner of his mouth unconsciously. He felt Victory is guaranteed.

"No! We are a divorced couple? Why should we sleep in the same bed with you?" Bai Zhi said softly.

"Sa Lan is not so conscious. I have always thought that you are my wife." Meng Ying lowered her head and her tone became aggrieved.

"I am your wife, what does Zhuo Yao mean? Is he a mistress? Who does Agu mean? Is he an illegitimate daughter?"

Meng Ying was choked by this, and she really didn't know how to refute it, but after thinking about it carefully, she really thought of a perfect correspondence for him, "The second wife, now he is divorced."

Bai Zhi: "..."

"Hahaha." Bai Zhi laughed a few times, turned her head and saw Bai Xia blinking at her with big eyes open. She thought he was asleep.

The entire base of my ears instantly turned red. What about sleeping in the same bed, what about a second room, what about a mistress? What they just said is not suitable for children!

It's terrible! She didn't want to be so ambiguous with Meng Ying.

She immediately covered Bai Xia's eyes, trying to ease the embarrassment, "Why did Axia wake up? Is the carriage too bumpy? Come and hold you to sleep, okay?"

Bai Xia rubbed her eyes, looking confused, "I'm ten years old, I can sleep alone!"

Bai Zhi didn't dare to turn around and look at Meng Ying's expression. She felt that he must be laughing at her and insisted on picking Bai Xia up to coax him to sleep.

Bai Xia was thin-skinned, struggling but not daring to fight desperately. She was hugged by Bai Zhi and put to sleep. Bai Zhi held him and rocked him gently, humming a song to lull him to sleep, "Sleep, sleep, my dear." baby..."

Meng Ying raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly, inexplicably remembering that desert island where she patted her belly and sang this song.

At that time, he was still worried and looking forward to it day and night, what would his child be like after he was born, and he longed for such happiness.

This song is similar to the tune that the Queen taught him, with the same rhythm. Thinking about it, Jing'er fell asleep listening to this song in her belly. She was used to listening to it, but once they were separated, she would be particularly uncomfortable with it.

The carriage drove into Langcheng and stopped at a luxurious house. It was said to be the private residence of a wealthy businessman. It was usually unoccupied, but there were at least a hundred servants.

The owner of this house was named Hua, and Meng Ying called him Boss Hua, a big boss specializing in the timber business.

After a little tidying up, Boss Hua treated Meng Ying and his party to a luxurious meal.

There was no distinction between high and low at the dinner table, it was just businessmen chatting about business. Meng Ying and Boss Hua had a lively chat, and one glass after another of wine arrived.

"Master, I will do this business even if it is a loss! As long as it is for Master, I, Hua Chun, will be devastated!"

Meng Ying raised her hand, "Boss Hua, don't say that! We will never let you lose money. Anyone who loses money is not a business."

Bai Zhi listened and probably understood that Meng Ying asked him to collect a batch of wood to build a building.

The amount of information is not much, and most of it is flattery. There are also a few words of praise for Bai Zhi in the middle. Except for the word "Madam" which is a bit jarring, everything else is pretty manageable.

Since it was none of her business, she relaxed and started picking up food for the children, because they were always afraid and it was really difficult for them to eat with open stomachs.

At first Zhuo Yao asked them to go together, but they just wanted to wait for Bai Zhi. Only when Bai Zhi was there, they dared to take food after asking Bai Zhi for instructions. They were children who had experienced hell, and observing words and emotions was an essential skill for survival. Bai Zhi wanted to change the fear in their hearts, but she felt that this was not a good thing.

She warmly and carefully put the dishes on the table into their bowls, with a smile on her face, "Try this, it's my first time, and it tastes pretty good!"

She originally wanted to give it to Meng Jing, but Meng Jing insisted on sitting opposite her, next to Mei Yuke, and she couldn't stretch her hands that far, so she had to give up.

Meng Jing was fed a lot of food by Mei Yuke on the way, and his belly was bulging. Now he couldn't eat anything on the table, he was extremely bored.

Meng Jing watched her serving vegetables to those wild children, and even gave them the best things in the bowl, and he started to complain unconsciously.

Although he doesn't like her, a mother should only be good to her own children, right?

He didn't know where those wild children came from. He only knew that his mother liked them more.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He made a fierce face at the children, and then asked Meng Ying for instructions, "Father, I'm full, can I go play?"

Meng Ying saw that Shuangyun on the side had also finished eating, so she winked at Shuangyun and signaled him to protect Meng Jing, and then said, "Go, don't run away."

Mei Yuke followed naturally. She held Meng Jing's hand and patted his head, "Where do you want to go, Jinger?"

Meng Jing raised his head suddenly, his eyes filled with tears, "Does my mother-in-law hate me?"

Mei Yuke didn't know how to answer, so she could only hug and comfort Meng Jing, "Jing'er, don't cry, she doesn't like you, my aunt likes you..."

"She only likes those wild children! Where did they come from? Don't they have their own mother?" Meng Jing cried harder and harder.

Mei Yuke thought for a while, "I heard that those children belonged to a wild man. Your mother ran away because of the wild man. But after the wild man died, these children followed her and called her A-niang."

Shuangyun who was listening on the side felt inexplicably uncomfortable. The prince had explained the origin of these children to the Mei family. He made it very clear that they were picked up, but in the end it was spread like this.

Didn't the prince explain it in vain?
