After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight
Chapter 116 Support and Urge Marriage
Two people in charge of the Meng family came. One of them was a confidant of Old Master Meng. He had a rough background and his mother couldn't support him, so she sold him to Old Master Meng. Old Master Meng asked him to take his surname, Meng.
Meng Qianqian called him Uncle Meng.
The other one was a clan elder who was about the same age as Meng Bo, but of a much higher generation. Meng Qianqian called him Seventh Uncle.
In addition, there were several servants and a handsome scholar in a long gown.
Meng Qianqian retracted her gaze and bowed to the two elders: "Uncle Meng, Seventh Uncle."
"I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Meng Bo hurriedly helped Meng Qianqian up.
He is considered half-son of Mr. Meng, and Meng Qianqian has always respected him, but he never acts like an elder and always sees himself as the steward of the Meng family.
He looked at Meng Qianqian with red eyes and said with a choked voice: "Miss San, you have lost weight..."
Meng Qianqian was a chubby little girl before coming to the capital. Now she has grown into a graceful young lady, so thin that it makes people feel distressed.
Nanny Li wiped her tears and said, "I have recovered a little in the past two months. I was so skinny in the Lu family."
Meng Bo was heartbroken. Although Seventh Uncle did not have as deep a relationship with Meng Qianqian as Meng Bo, he was still a junior of the Meng family, and he was also very distressed and angry.
"they are……"
Meng Qianqian couldn't remember the other faces clearly.
"Miss San, I am the pillar!"
A servant said with a smile, "Don't you remember me? When you were little, the two young masters took you to poke a hornet's nest. I was the one who poked it with the pole!"
"How dare you mention it!" Meng Bo patted his forehead.
Zhuzi chuckled.
Nanny Li said, "The young lady fell into the water more than half a year ago, and she doesn't remember some things."
Seventh Uncle sighed.
Meng Bo held back his heartache, pointed at the young scholar, and said to Meng Qianqian: "Miss San, you must remember your cousin, right? You lived in your cousin's house for two years."
Meng Qianqian's gaze fell on the other person and she shook her head slightly.
Yu Li smiled shyly.
Meng Bo said, "Master, didn't you bring a gift for Miss Three?"
Yu Li handed a large box of candied sweets to Meng Qianqian, not daring to meet her eyes. He was quite shy and reserved like a scholar.
Instead, Meng Qianqian took it calmly: "Thank you, cousin."
The remaining few came to the Meng family after Meng Qianqian left, and Uncle Meng also asked Meng Qianqian to recognize them.
Meng Bo said seriously: "The Third Miss will also be your master in the future, do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Several people responded.
Banxia took them downstairs to rest, eat something, and feed the horses.
Meng Qianqian asked her seventh uncle and Uncle Meng why they suddenly came to the capital, but something happened at home.
Meng Bo said: "Didn't Miss San write to ask us to come?"
"I?"
Meng Qianqian was surprised.
She didn't ask the Meng family to come to Beijing in the letter. She said that she was fine and Lu Lingxiao had returned safely, so she asked his family not to worry.
Meng Bo said: "Hey, didn't you say that you suffered a lot in the Lu family in the past few years, the Lu family took over your dowry, and your son-in-law brought back a woman from the border and forced you to divorce?"
Meng Qianqian frowned and said, "I have never written such a letter."
Meng Bo was startled: "Who wrote it?"
Meng Qianqian looked at the two elders: "Uncle Meng, Seventh Uncle, do you trust me?"
Seventh uncle shook his head: "The letter is with your grandfather. After reading the letter, he was so angry that he stayed in bed for three days and almost died... The first thing he did when he woke up was to ask us to go to Beijing quickly and ask the Lu family for an explanation. Originally, your eldest uncle and his family should have come, but they are too old to rush."
In fact, let alone the uncles, even Grandpa Meng wanted to go to Beijing in person, but was persuaded by his family.
Nanny Li said strangely, "Miss...I'm afraid it's not..."
Meng Qianqian knew who did it.
She had intended to keep it a secret for a while, but it looked like she couldn't keep it a secret any longer.
"Since Uncle Seven and Uncle Meng have come all the way to the capital, Qianqian will tell the truth. I won't hide it from Uncle Seven and Uncle Meng, Lu Lingxiao and I have not divorced."
The two elders breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he could finish his breath, he heard Meng Qianqian say, "I have broken off relations with him."
"what?"
The two of them said in unison, and even Yu Li, who was standing beside them, opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Meng Qianqian only talked to the two elders about the most important things. She did not elaborate on the grievances with the Lu family. She only said that she had indeed used the dowry to supplement the family in the past few years, but the old lady and Lu's mother treated her as their own daughter, and her life in the Lu family was not entirely useless.
It wasn't that she wanted to speak for the Lu family, but she had already cut off all ties with the Lu family a long time ago. Going to them now to ask for an explanation would seem like she was unwilling to give in and was trying to salvage something.
The two elders asked Lu Lingxiao if it was true that he had brought a woman from the border.
Meng Qianqian thought about it and admitted it.
Uncle Seven said, "Why didn't you discuss this important matter with the clan members before making the decision on your own?"
Meng Qianqian said, "It was the order of the Supreme Emperor. The fault lies with him, not with me. Even if someone brings it up in the future, the Lu family will be in the wrong. As for the dowry I gave out, I have recovered most of it, and I have also written an IOU for the rest."
Upon hearing that it was the retired emperor who had sought justice for Meng Qianqian, Seventh Uncle and Uncle Meng felt much more relieved.
When the Meng family received the letter, they felt like the sky was falling. Their daughter from the Meng family had been bullied. They were so angry!
Meng Qianqian said: "The past five years have been just a nightmare. Qianqian is living a good life now. Uncle Seven and Uncle Meng don't need to feel sad for Qianqian anymore."
The seventh uncle said in grief and shame: "It is the Meng family that is useless and cannot protect you! The Lu family is an official, and we are businessmen..."
Nanny Li hesitated to speak.
Meng Qianqian shook her head at her.
She didn't want to mention the matter at the border. If it got back to Mr. Meng's ears, he would be in trouble again.
Many of her memories about the Meng family have become blurred, but she still remembers how good Grandpa Meng was to Qianqian.
Everyone in the room was silent for a moment.
Meng Bo suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead and said, "Oops, I forgot about your third uncle!"
Meng Qianqian's expression changed slightly: "Third uncle is also coming to Beijing?"
Meng Bo said, "He went to cause trouble for the Lu family! When he entered the city, he said he wanted to beat that bastard Lu Lingxiao to death, and got off the carriage first and went to the Lu family!"
Uncle San couldn't beat Lu Lingxiao, and if he rashly went to his house, he might be mistaken for an assassin and beaten to death.
Meng Qianqian quickly stood up: "Tan'er!"
Tan Er's voice came from the yard: "I know! I'll go help Third Uncle!"
Meng Bo asked: "A little girl...can she do it?"
Meng Qianqian nodded: "Tan'er is very capable, don't worry, Uncle Meng."
Meng Bo heard her say this and stopped asking questions: "This time we came to the capital, in addition to following your grandmother's order to seek justice for you, another thing is to take you back to Youzhou."
Meng Qianqian asked: "Return to Youzhou?"
Meng Bo said: "Yes, since you have already severed ties with the Lu family, why are you still staying in the capital?"
What was supposed to come finally came, the Meng family was going to take her back.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the Seventh Uncle thought that she didn't dare to go back, so he said gently: "Third girl, don't be afraid of breaking off relations with your husband's family. When you return to Youzhou, your grandfather will choose a good marriage for you. This time, we will choose carefully and must choose someone who is devoted to you and has good character. We will never let you suffer any grievances again!"
