Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

"Dad, why are you stopping me? That bitch from the Gu family dared to throw dirty water on us. I will make her swallow the dirty water back!"

Meng Chonglou's voice was cruel and his expression was ferocious. Compared with the past, it was so unfamiliar and frightening.

In the past, he was just a playboy, a spendthrift, and did not work hard. But ever since he broke his leg, was watched by others while keeping a mistress, and became impotent due to shock, his mentality has been twisted little by little. He has become more and more willful and reckless in doing things. Just like now, at this critical moment, he still cannot see the situation clearly. This is not just a spendthrift, this is a rhythm of destroying his family and clan.

Uncle Meng felt cold in his heart and bitter in his mouth, but he still had to force himself to explain, "It's not appropriate to create any more trouble right now, otherwise, our family will not be well. You should just stay at home and rest. Your father and your brother will take care of the things outside..."

If we continue to let this son do whatever he wants, the whole family will be buried with him.

Meng Chonglou couldn't believe what he said, "Dad, what do you mean by that? Are you going to confine your son and take away his power?"

Uncle Meng said, "This is for your own good..."

Meng Chonglou laughed angrily, and before he could finish, he shouted, "You want to seize power just for my own good? Then why don't you lock up my eldest brother and take away his position as the crown prince?"

Seeing that he was talking without thinking, Lord Meng was so angry that his face turned blue. He wanted to slap him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your elder brother has done nothing wrong. Why should your father lock him up? And you want to take away the crown prince..."

He expressed deep regret that his little son had been spoiled by his mother and his temper was becoming increasingly deviant, and even he could no longer control him.

Meng Chonglou stiffened his neck and sneered, "Then what did I do wrong? I have devoted myself to this family. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Now my father treats me like this? Are you planning to hand me over to dispel the emperor's suspicion in exchange for the safety of the whole family?"

"You, you..." Uncle Meng pointed at him, his fingers trembling, "You little beast, are you going to ruin your whole family?"

Seeing this, Prince Meng hurried forward to support his shaky father, and after placing him on a chair, he hurriedly poured him some water to calm him down, and kept persuading him, "Dad, calm down, don't be anxious, if you get angry and something bad happens, the sky will fall on our uncle's house..."

He knows himself well and has average abilities, nor is he a smooth-talker. The Marquis' Mansion is supported by his father. Once his father falls, who in the capital will dare to take the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion seriously?

Do you count on Meng Chonglou? If you don't cause trouble, you're already praying to the Buddha.

As for his niece Meng Yao... he subconsciously disliked her and didn't want to spend much time with her. Her eyes looked dark and cold, and even if she had some abilities, in his opinion, she was still weird. The emperor's favor was even more unreliable, and only his father listened to her arrangements. If it were him, he would rather be an idle lord than fight for it.

Lord Meng's vision went dark just now. After he recovered from his breath, he closed his eyes and didn't want to talk more.

Prince Meng yelled at Meng Chonglou, who was still struggling and refusing to admit his mistakes, "Why don't you kneel down? Are you going to make father sick?"

Meng Chonglou knelt down unwillingly, and with a bit of anger, he raised his chin and asked, "Is this okay? You won't take this opportunity to add to my crime and accuse me of being unfilial, right?"

Listen to what he said. How can this be an admission of fault? This is clearly a provocation!

Uncle Meng's lips were trembling, and he didn't even have the strength to curse. In the past, his sons respected him, even feared him, and whatever he said was the truth. No one dared to treat him like this, but now?

"You..." Prince Meng was so angry that he was speechless. He had some dignity before, but now he has completely given up. He knew the reason, he could not be a man anymore, and his temperament change drastically, which was understandable. After all, no one could withstand such a blow. His second brother was still young and had no son to inherit the family line. He had been tolerant during this period of time, even when his second brother tortured several maids in the mansion to death, he turned a blind eye and helped cover it up. But who could have thought that his second brother not only did not appreciate it, but now it has become even worse, and his temper is directed at his father and him!

Even a clay figure still has some earthiness. Prince Meng rushed over, slapped him hard in the face, and cursed him in hatred, "You are unfilial!"

A snap sounded in the study.

Meng Chonglou was stunned for a moment. He raised his hands to cover his face and asked in disbelief, "You dare to hit me?"

After the fight, Prince Meng felt a little regretful and tried his best not to retreat. "Why don't you dare? I am your brother, so how can I control you?"

Meng Chonglou glared at him fiercely, his eyes full of ferocity, "Okay, okay, even you bully me and look down on me, you are really my good brother!"

Prince Meng frowned irritably, "Who bullied or belittled you? Why are you becoming more and more unreasonable? I am doing this for your own good..."

"Bah!" Meng Chonglou interrupted without any hesitation, saying with disgust and contempt, "You are all controlling me in the name of doing good for me. If you really want to do good for me, why don't you find a way to cure my illness? Why don't you spend money to arrange a decent job for me? Why don't you give me the position of the prince? I am also a legitimate son, a legitimate descendant of the Meng family. How am I worse than you? Am I not just born a few years later? Why do you have to get all the benefits of this family?"

Prince Meng staggered uncontrollably. His face turned pale, as if he had heard something heartbreaking. "You, actually thought of me like this? I didn't know you had so much resentment in your heart..."

Meng Chonglou sneered, "You can't imagine it, because you are not the one who is wronged!"

Prince Meng felt a mouthful of blood rushing up, and he even tasted a sweet and fishy taste in his mouth. He swayed his body, fell backwards into the chair, looking dejected and dazed.

Seeing this, Mr. Meng sighed, suppressed all the reluctance in his heart, and finally made a decision. He called in the long-servant guarding outside the door and said in a deep voice, "Tie up the Second Master."

The attendant was stunned and stood still, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

Not only him, Prince Meng also looked over in disbelief. What was his father doing?

Uncle Meng repeated it expressionlessly.

The long-servant finally reacted. Although he was shocked, it did not stop him from carrying out the order.

Meng Chonglou tried to resist, shouting, "Dad, are you crazy?"

Uncle Meng looked at him steadily and said, "Just think of your father as crazy."

He has more than one son, and he is responsible for more than a hundred people in the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion.

Meng Chonglou was so angry that he roared without caring about anything. "You can't do this to me. What have I done wrong? Am I doing all these things just for my own good? Am I not doing this for the future of the entire Bo's Mansion? Why should I be sacrificed to take the blame when something goes wrong? When there is something good, you all rush over to grab it. This is not fair! I don't accept it..."

Master Meng scolded his attendant, "Be quicker, why is it so difficult to tie up a person?"

The long-servant felt very wronged, thinking, isn't it because he doesn't dare to use harsh measures? After all, he is the second master of the mansion, how dare he torture him to death?

Only after being scolded did he dare to take real action, and in no time he subdued Meng Chonglou.

Meng Chonglou’s hands were tied behind his back. His hair and clothes were messy because of his struggle. He looked in a state of disgrace. His eyes were bloodshot and his breathing was rapid. He stared at Lord Meng like a trapped animal without any respect. “Let me go, or you will regret it! I know who I work for. If you offend that Lord, not only will you not be able to bear the consequences, but the entire Lord Meng’s Mansion will have to pay for it…”

Uncle Meng shook his head in disappointment. "You still haven't realized where you went wrong. It's all because you didn't teach your son well. This is retribution!"

After she finished her sigh, she saw that he wanted to continue talking, so she hurriedly said to her long-time attendant, "Shut his mouth!"

"Yes, uncle."

This time the long-time attendant was very helpful. He was also afraid that he would be silenced if he heard something he shouldn't have heard, so he quickly took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into Meng Chonglou's mouth without caring whether it was clean or not.

"Woooo..."

Meng Chonglou was so angry that his eyes were about to burst. Such treatment was a great humiliation to him. He struggled desperately, and even when his wrists were rubbed and bleeding by the rope, he seemed not to feel the pain.

This look is undoubtedly frightening.

Prince Meng shouted in fear, "Dad, you, you treat my second brother like this..."

My second brother will definitely hate me!

Master Meng said with a hint of meaning, "You saw it just now. If I don't do this, will I have to watch the disaster happen?"

Prince Meng was speechless. Yes, if his second brother went crazy and told the King of Chu about it, would their whole family still be able to survive? Especially this time, the rumor slandering Gu Huanxi and Su Zhe was even instructed by that person. Now Jingzhao Prefecture wants to deal with it severely, and even dares not to accept tea and money. It can be seen how tense the situation is. It really made the emperor suspicious and thought that their Meng family deliberately bullied the families of soldiers in order to disrupt the morale of the army. The consequences are simply unimaginable.

Alarm bells rang in his mind, and he suddenly shouted at Meng Chonglou, "Second brother, words can cause trouble. Even if you don't think about father and me, you should think about your wife and daughter!"

Meng Chonglou glared at him hatefully, his eyes full of mocking malice.

Although he couldn't speak, the emotions expressed in his eyes were even more humiliating.

Prince Meng closed his eyes.

Mr. Meng was unusually calm at the moment. "I know that you may not have your wife and daughter in your heart. If you don't care about the safety of the people in the mansion, then what about your own life? Don't you want it?"

After a pause, he continued meaningfully, "You should know what the consequences will be if you speak without restraint in Jingzhao Prefecture. You think your father is cruel and doesn't care about you. You should go and see the families of officials who died on the way to Beijing. Remember, no matter how bad your father is, he is still your father. He will not watch you die, but others may not. After all, only the dead can keep their mouths shut."

Meng Chonglou's expression finally changed, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

Lord Meng said, "You were confused for a moment because you had a personal grudge against Xu Huaiyi. You had someone make up a lie while he was not at home to annoy Xu Huaiyi. You definitely did not mean to humiliate the families of soldiers. You are loyal to the court and only hope that the soldiers in the front will win a great victory and return triumphantly. You have absolutely no intention of parting with them. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this!"

These words were teaching him how to excuse himself once he entered Jingzhao Prefecture. He had to hold on to the words "personal vengeance" and not let go. Otherwise, there was no way he would get out of prison.

After Meng Chonglou was taken away by his attendant, Prince Meng said anxiously, "So, this should be possible, right?"

Master Meng said tiredly, "It must be possible, otherwise, there will be a disaster."

"But, what if..." What if the emperor doesn't believe it? What if the enemy is doing something bad? What if the Gu family is determined to fight them to the death?

Lord Meng pondered and said, "So, we must make a statement as soon as possible and can no longer respond passively."

Being more proactive will show your sincerity and will also make it easier for the other person to calm down.

"Is this the only way?"

"What else? Do you have any other good solutions?"

Prince Meng choked. If he had a good idea, he wouldn't be so worried and unable to sleep.

Master Meng also knew his eldest son's character very well. He lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I will go to the palace to apologize. I am afraid I will not be able to come back for a while. You go to the Sun family to apologize in person, and let your wife go to the Gu family to apologize. Remember, you must show your sincerity and be sincere. Don't learn from your second brother!"

Prince Meng took a deep breath and agreed. It was embarrassing, but it was better than losing his life.

Uncle Meng was worried and reminded again, "Don't be reluctant to give up money, they are all external things. Give more generous gifts, especially to the Gu family."

"Yes, Dad, what about the second brother?"

"Keep him locked up until your father returns from the palace. Don't let anyone come into contact with him."

"Where does my sister-in-law want to see me?"

"not see."

"What if Yaoyao sees it?"

Lord Meng paused and said, "She can see him, but she is not allowed to release him."

Prince Meng wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Mr. Meng glanced at him and said, "Just say what you want to say."

Prince Meng said in a desperate tone, "Dad, don't you think Yaoyao is a little weird?"

Uncle Meng said nothing.

Prince Meng continued, "Yaoyao wasn't like this before. She was honest and well-behaved. She was polite and well-mannered when meeting the elders in the family. But now... To be honest, my son doesn't even dare to look her in the eye. She's only six years old. How could a six-year-old child have such a scary look?"

Mr. Meng waited for him to finish before he said in a serious tone, "Don't think too much. If you don't like her, just stay away from her."

"But……"

"No buts. You just need to remember that she is a descendant of our Meng family. We prosper together and suffer together. The emperor has made her the county lady. This is the glory of the entire Bo's Mansion. If there is anything wrong with her, it is also the fault of the entire Bo's Mansion. Do you understand?"

Prince Meng smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, son, I understand."

Even if Meng Yao is a monster, their uncle's family has to bear with it. Who said they can't write two Meng characters with one stroke?

It’s all life!

The Meng family acted quickly, and any sign of trouble was quickly known to the various people who were keeping an eye on the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion.

Moreover, the Meng family did not hide their actions. On the contrary, they did it in a high-profile manner, as if they wanted everyone to see their performance and sincerity.

As the news reached Dingyuan Marquis's residence, Li Bo'an, the Marquis of Dingyuan, stood up from his chair in shock and stared at his long-servant, "Tell me again? Where did Meng Xuanlang go?"

The long-servant also found it incredible, "Mr. Meng has gone to the palace to plead guilty!"

Dingyuan Hou murmured, "Is he crazy?"

The long-servant pondered, "Perhaps, he felt that he could not help Master Meng escape, so in order not to implicate the entire Bo Mansion, he stopped the loss in time and cut off his arm to survive. It is always easier to deal with the situation proactively than passively."

Marquis Dingyuan remained silent.

The attendant asked tentatively, "My Lord, are you going to the palace as well? Otherwise, who knows what Lord Meng will say. If he blames the two young masters of our mansion, it will be troublesome."

Dingyuan Hou suddenly woke up, "You are right, there is no time to lose, I will go to the palace right now, I must not let Meng Xuanlang get there first."

The attendant quickly prepared clothes for him to wear when entering the palace.

While changing his clothes, Marquis Dingyuan hurriedly ordered, "You stay here and have someone keep an eye on those two evil creatures. Don't let anything happen again at this critical moment."

"Don't worry, my lord." If anything happens to those two, who will be handed over to take the blame?

"Also, since the prince is not here, have Yunxuan prepare a generous gift and go to the Sun family to apologize. Be humble and show your sincerity."

"Yes, sir." Although they fell behind the Meng family, it is better to have it than nothing.

"As for the Gu family? Let the Crown Prince's wife go in person and keep a high profile."
