Meng Mansion, after receiving Qiao Linxi's order, Meng Qingyu went out to do business. But he knew that this matter involved Jian'an Marquis Mansion, he was a little undecided, so he returned to the mansion.

Because Minister Meng was the Minister, and the Yue Qingrong incident had happened, the court had been discussing the incident and making arrangements to prevent it from happening. Therefore, he was not at home, but his father had been at home most of the time because of his affairs.

"Madam, don't worry. Princess Dingguo doesn't seem like the type to torture people. Yu'er will not be wronged if he follows her."

Meng Qingyu's father is not the eldest son, and Meng Qingyu is not the eldest grandson, but they are both legitimate children, and the prosperity of the Meng family is shouldered by them.

Mrs. Meng felt very upset when she thought about her precious son now following a country bumpkin as an errand boy.

"Who knows? Princess Qiao... Princess Dingguo came from a small place. Although she has the title of princess, she may still have the temperament of a country girl in her bones. Although our Yu'er is not the eldest grandson, he is still the grandson of our Meng family. Now that he is with her, she must do her best to bully Yu'er to feel superior."

Master Meng shook his head: "It shouldn't be. Although we are not familiar with Princess Dingguo, we should trust Master Qiao. The daughter he raised should be good."

Speaking of Qiao Zijin, Madam Meng looked a little dazed. She could hardly remember what Qiao Zijin looked like. After all, he had been gone for more than 20 years, and now he had turned into a pile of bones.

"Mr. Qiao is such a good man, why did he run away from home? If he really didn't like Qiao Wan'er's mother, he could just cancel the engagement openly. Why would he run away from the marriage?"

Master Meng sighed, "There may be some hidden secrets that we don't know. Don't think too much about it. Although Yu'er was forced, he married the princess and became her husband. This is a good thing."

Mr. Meng's consolation did not have much effect. Mrs. Meng's eyes were still red. How could she, as a mother, bear to watch her son become someone else's servant?

Just as she was feeling distressed, she heard the servant come to report that Meng Qingyu had returned. Madam Meng wiped her tears quickly and stood up to greet him.

After the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Meng Qingyu was lifted up from the bed by Gu Changfeng and brought to Qiao Linxi. She wanted to see him but couldn't, as she was worried about him very much.

"Yu'er..."

Madam Meng Er pulled Meng Qingyu up and down and looked at him, her voice choking with sobs: "Have you suffered?"

Compared to Mrs. Meng's worry, Mr. Meng looked at Meng Qingyu, who was unharmed, with a little surprise and asked, "Are you healed?"

It's only been a few days? Less than ten days, and Meng Qingyu's injuries have all healed. It's incredible.

The father was furious at the time, so the beating was extremely severe. All of them were beaten, and some were severely bedridden for more than three months before they could get out of bed.

Shangshu Meng is a real military general. It is not easy for him to climb all the way from an unknown person to the position of Shangshu. He has a bad temper and gets angry at any time, especially towards his children.

This is why, as he has been the Minister of War in recent years, his temper has calmed down a little and he has become kinder to his grandchildren.

But this did not affect his ability to beat people to death. Meng Qingyu's arm was broken and his ribs were broken. It was because he had practiced martial arts for many years that he had a good physique, otherwise he would still be lying in bed.

But it's impossible to recover in just a few days.

"Mother, the princess treats me very well. She is not the kind of person who treats others harshly."

"How is your injury?" Mr. Meng asked.

Meng Qingyu's face was filled with smiles: "The princess has given me medicine."

Seeing her son's brilliant smile, Mrs. Meng's anger sank back into her stomach.

"Father and mother, I'm back because I have something to ask you. The princess told me that Qiao Wan'er and Xu Yanzhou are siblings, and she hopes that I can spread this news. You see, this matter..."

"Qiao Wan'er and Xu Yanzhou are siblings?"

Both the couple were extremely surprised.

Meng Qingyu nodded: "I believe the princess."

Mrs. Meng looked at her son and her heart sank. Could it be that he had fallen in love with Qiao Linxi, the successful young lady?

"Why are they siblings? If they are siblings, what happened back then?"

Mr. Meng was a little surprised. If they were really siblings, then this would definitely involve the past of Marquis Jian'an. If it wasn't handled properly, he might get revenge from Marquis Jian'an.

"The princess didn't say anything, she just asked her son to spread the news. I'm afraid the princess is taking revenge on Qiao Wan'er for framing her in the palace."

Mr. Meng frowned, this matter was really difficult to handle.

The second wife of Meng was the same. She wanted Meng Qingyu to ignore it, but Qiao Linxi had given the order. If she didn't do it, Gu Changfeng would personally ask Meng Qingyu to do it. By then, Gu Changfeng would probably be angry with the Meng family.

"Well, Yu'er, go give Xu Yanzhou a letter and invite him and Qiao Wan'er to go out for dinner, and bring your cousin Qing along."

Madam Meng thought about it and came up with a more reliable solution. On the surface, Xu Yanzhou and Qiao Wan'er were engaged and also cousins.

Meng Qingyu brought his cousin Qing to play and eat with them, so they were all cousins. He spent some money to make people talk about the differences between the two pairs of cousins. Then he directed public opinion to the appearance of Xu Yanzhou and Qiao Wan'er, saying that they looked more like real siblings.

Master Meng also nodded: "This method is feasible. This way, we can complete the princess's order without offending Marquis Jian'an. When the public opinion says that Qiao Wan'er and Xu Yanzhou are together, it is not our Meng family that spread it. After all, you just invited Xu Yanzhou out, and you are about to become brothers-in-law. No one will doubt you for anything."

Originally, Meng Qingyu wanted to spend some money to let those beggars spread the news directly, but if he did that, it would be easy for Jian'an Hou to find out that it was him who did it.

If he used his mother's method, even if Jian'an Hou knew about it later, he probably wouldn't be able to punish him, after all, he didn't know that Xu Yanzhou and Qiao Wan'er were siblings. It was all other people's speculation.

After all, the difference between siblings and cousins ​​is still easy to see.

Meng Qingyu went out to handle this matter, and Mrs. Meng sighed. If possible, she didn't want to offend Jian'an Hou. But their Meng family and Qiao Linxi are now grasshoppers in the same boat, and they have already fallen into the whirlpool. How can they stay out of it?

Xu Yanzhou was a little puzzled when he received the post. He and Meng Qingyu had very few interactions, so why would he suddenly invite him to go out and play together?

The post also said that I should take Qiao Wan'er with me, so would Qiao Linxi go too?
