Warm Life - C255
Meng Zhixiao went to the Sulan room next door. As soon as he walked in, the atmosphere in the room turned weird. He stopped, waved his fan and sat down, then said to the madame beside him, “Grandmother, you can have Mingyue Zhai’s shop assistant send whatever dishes you want to eat to the mansion. Why bother you so much? “People are squeezing people from the outside, it would not be good if we offend you, old man.”
“The Emperor has already put on his private defense for your Bright Moon Temple. Why can’t I come? So what if they were crowded? It was the new year, and it was supposed to be lively. “This old woman has been thinking of Buddha for so many years and wanted to come out to take a breather. Yet, you do not allow it?” Old Lady Meng said angrily, “When I bring up this matter, I’m full of anger. If you had married earlier and given birth to a few of my great-grandchildren, why would I have had to go through so much trouble? ”
Meng Zhixiao lifted his head to look at the man and woman before him, his eyes flashing with displeasure. The woman in front of him was obviously not his mother. His mother had long since been forced to death. She was his stepmother, the new wife of Prime Minister Meng. The man in front of him was his father, but in his eyes, he was no different from a stranger. He stayed in the manor because of his status. Everyone knew that he was the Prime Minister, who would know the annoyance in his heart? If possible, he wanted to be a normal person, accompanying Sun Ye Xuan to grow vegetables and flowers, opening a few shops and roaming the world. That kind of life would be lived by humans.
“Grandmother, you want a grandson, someone to help you give birth. I’m still young, so just spare me! There’s no peace in the house now, and I don’t want to marry any more noisy women. ” Meng Zhixiao said nonchalantly, “Grandmother, can’t Grandson accompany you? Look at me, obedient, obedient, and filial. If you want me to watch a show with you, I definitely won’t do it. ”
“Naughty!” Such a big man, and he looked like a child. If your mother knew, how worried would she be? ” Old Madam Meng said helplessly.
When Meng Zhixiao’s mother was mentioned, the expressions of everyone in the room turned ugly. One of the reasons why Meng Zhixiao had left the capital was because of his mother’s death. His mother died in a strange way, but Prime Minister Meng didn’t want to investigate. Prime Minister Meng had chased him far away just to make this matter worse.
The more Prime Minister Meng did not allow Meng Xiaoxiao to investigate, the more her heart grew troubled. The father and son duo had never been kind to each other. Even if they saw each other, they would pretend not to have seen it. It was the same inside the mansion, and it was the same outside the mansion. It had been a long time since someone had sat at a table and eaten. If the old lady wasn’t here, they wouldn’t want to show their face.
“Grandmother, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. There were still a few friends upstairs, and it would be rude of me to walk around too long. Our family is a noble family, if this were to spread, it wouldn’t be good! Especially since a certain person was the Prime Minister, if he were to lose face, he would have to shout and fight. You only have me, your direct grandson. If I die, who will honor you? ”
When Prime Minister Meng heard what Meng Zhiruo said, his expression turned even uglier. The woman beside him felt even more disgusted. Prime Minister Meng said, “Mother, this is the unfilial son you spoiled.” Now that his wings had grown stronger, he was acting lawlessly, not even putting his parents in his eyes. What was the use of keeping such a heaven defying existence? It would be better to just kill him with a slap! ”
“Prime Minister Meng is awesome!” If you want to beat me to death, then hit me! Don’t talk nonsense. Be like a woman, be like a woman, be like a mother. You don’t have any balls. “” Meng Zhixiao mocked.
“Enough!” Just as Prime Minister Meng was going crazy, Madam Meng said angrily, “Can you father and son take a break? This was outside, and it was unknown how many pairs of eyes were watching. You guys are shameless, but this old woman is even more shameless. I don’t ask for much, so you can ignore each other. But could you not act like an enemy? Just treat it as if the other side doesn’t exist. ”
“Grandmother, don’t worry. I love you, so listen to you. Prime Minister Meng is a person of high status. I will just treat him like I have seen him in a painting and just keep him busy. ” Meng Zhixiao said coldly.
“Enough!” If it’s something I don’t want to hear, don’t say it. ” Madam Meng said tiredly, “Xiao Er, let me ask you, what is the matter with that young lady from the Sun family?”
“Which Sun family’s girl?” Meng Zhixiao played dumb.
“Who else?” It’s that peasant girl you know. ” Old Mistress Meng said, “I heard that you liked her. Is that true?”
Even though Meng Xiaoxiao was prepared to be interrogated, her face was still somewhat hot. Embarrassed, he said, “Grandmother, did you misunderstand something? We’re just ordinary friends. ”
“Ordinary friend? Ordinary friends come to her house all day? If it was any ordinary friend, would you send someone to take care of those foppish lads from the Sun family? If it were any ordinary friend, would you take such special care of her brother and sister? You and the brat from the Feng family are only ordinary friends, why haven’t I seen you treat him this well? ” Old Madam Meng said snappily.
“Grandmother, are you saying that you would rather I treat Young Master Feng this well? That’s good! Actually, I always thought that Young Master Feng was not bad. I was afraid that there would be people who disliked the Imperial Advisor’s views, so I didn’t dare to interact too much with him. With these words of yours, I can finally put down the huge rock in my heart and be at ease with him in the future. ” Meng Zhixiao said.
“You, you brat …” In front of me. Damn it! “The old woman is so angry.” Old Madam Meng glared at him.
Seeing her like that, Meng Zhixiao could not bear it anymore and sighed, “Grandmother, you don’t have to worry. Miss Sun is not someone that your grandson can reach. ”
Madam Meng didn’t want Meng Zixiao to find a peasant girl, but that was because the peasant girl’s status wasn’t good enough for him. Now that Meng Zhixiao had said this, it seemed like that peasant girl still looked down on her grandson? Heh! How funny! Old Madam Meng didn’t feel happy. For an ordinary peasant girl, even if her brother was the top scholar, there was no status in the family. What right did she have to pick and choose?
“You mean that peasant girl has taken a fancy to someone else? Who? The kid from the Feng family? You and he are very concerned about the peasant girl. Could he have gotten there first? ” Old Madam Meng asked.
Seeing the awkward expression on Old Madam Meng’s face, Meng Zhiru laughed in her heart. He knew Madam Meng too well. She just wanted to protect him, so she couldn’t allow others to say that she didn’t want to see him in a bad state. If Sun Ye Xuan fought to marry into the Prime Minister’s Palace, Madam Meng would definitely be a hundred times more picky. However, if Sun Ye Xuan didn’t like him, Madam Meng’s heart would no longer be at ease. She would think, “Why should I?” How could her grandson not be worthy of a peasant girl? Thus, she would do everything she could to move him and make him seek to marry into the Prime Minister’s Estate. Old Madam Meng was so strong, but she was actually quite similar to Sun Ye Xuan. If you looked carefully, even they looked alike.
“Grandmother, don’t think about it. It’s not him. One person took a fancy to Miss Sun, and that person’s identity… We can’t mention it. Grandmother, you just have to know that we can’t afford to offend him. When he left the capital, he especially instructed me and Young Master Feng to take care of Lady Sun. If something were to happen to Miss Sun, even Feng Shao and I wouldn’t be able to keep our heads. So… You understand, don’t you? ”
Meng Xiaoxiao didn’t say the name, but the people here weren’t idiots. From his words, it was possible to guess just who it was. For a moment, the room was silent.
While they were silent, Meng Zhixiao quietly left the room. He returned to the La Plum Room and continued to eat and play with the Sun family members, ignoring the entanglement of the people in the room next door.
