Chapter 441: It’s relevant
Meng Shisan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
After drying, the tea is just warm enough to enter your throat and stomach.
As for Shangchun and Baozhu's remarks, she neither denied nor acknowledged: "It's not what you said, I'm protecting her like this. It's just that there are some things that it's better not to get involved in. , you need to know some things, the less you know, the safer you are.”
She has the ability to protect herself, but that doesn’t mean Meng Meili also has it.
If she was in danger and had no ability to protect herself, and she still needed to come to the rescue, it would be better to let Meng Megring know only some things and not know some things from the beginning.
In short, know what you should know and don’t know what you shouldn’t know.
In this way, it is good for Meng Meili, and it is also good for her.
After receiving Meng Shisan’s affirmative reply, Dong Linglong came to the door quickly.
She was carrying a jar of osmanthus wine, followed by her eldest brother.
Because Dong Kuan was there, Meng Shisan did not ask anyone to bring Dong Linglong into the inner courtyard, but met the Dong brothers and sisters in the Qingming Hall in the outer courtyard.
No one was sitting in the first seat in the hall. Meng Shisan and Dong Linglong sat in armchairs on one side, and Dong Kuan sat in the armchairs in the opposite row.
After greeting each other, Meng Shisan sat and waited to see what was going on. Dong Linglong was sitting there feeling guilty, while Dong Kuan was sitting there looking like he had something to ask.
The maids and attendants were all waiting outside the hall.
And Shang didn't have time to personally attend the scene, so he asked Butler Chu who came to guard outside Qingming Hall.
Although Dong Linglong was here, Mrs. Meng had already told her not to let Meng Shisan meet her husband alone again. Therefore, no matter how busy she was, Mrs. Shang would not leave in front of Butler Chu. When I went to report the visit of the Dong brothers and sisters, I did not forget to order the housekeeper Chu to stay outside the hall.
Whenever the Dong family's son managed to get even half an inch in, Butler Chu would have to rush in and block Meng Shisan's way.
You and I can’t let their eldest lady’s reputation be ruined at all!
After a while, Dong Linglong was the most impatient in the end, and she really felt indebted. She confessed to Meng Shisan in a low voice: "This wine is osmanthus wine, brewed by my mother, for tomorrow's festival. There are only a few jars in the house. You knew I was coming, and you also knew I wanted to bring a jar for you to taste. The eldest brother asked my mother for it..."
At this point, she lowered her already low voice and almost whispered: "I don't know why the eldest brother followed me across the house. I asked him about it along the way, but he didn’t say anything. He only said that he would know when he saw you.”
Then she apologized very much: "If my elder brother says something inappropriate later, please forgive me for my sake."
With this last sentence of apology, she went against the soft tone before. Whisper, very high-profile.
When his eldest sister looked directly at him, Dong Kuan knew that the last sentence was meant for him.
He was slightly speechless after hearing this, and felt that it was indeed inappropriate to follow him rashly today. The eldest sister’s words were a favor for him first, and she was also warning him not to offend Meng. The eldest lady of the house.
Worry too much.
The eldest sister is really worried.
At present, he does not know the specific situation of his best friend, but at least there is one thing that he has no doubt about.
That is why Miss Meng is definitely an extraordinary existence to Zhongnan.
Under such circumstances, how could he be verbally offensive?
He also wanted to know the truth about Zhong Nan's sudden illness from Miss Meng. He didn't even have time to talk properly, and there was no way he would be even remotely offensive. Something's wrong?
Dong Kuan could follow Dong Linglong through the house, but he still wanted to see her. It was normal for something to happen.
However, Meng Shisan really couldn’t think of anything between her and the eldest son of the Dong family that would require the eldest son of the Dong family to make this trip in person.
Knowing the reason why Dong Kuan would appear in the Meng Mansion, she asked her close friend Handkerchief: "What about Yaya? What's the reason for coming to the Mansion next time?"
Dong Linglong He smiled and moved the osmanthus wine placed on the table towards Meng Shisan: "I came here to give you this. Let me tell you, this is the osmanthus wine my mother makes every year!"
She gave a thumbs up and looked proud.
"Thank you." Meng Shisan smiled back. She knew that it was Dong Linglong's heart and it was proof that her best friend always had her in his heart. She was really happy now.
"Brother, what do you want to ask? Let's ask first. After eldest brother goes home, I want to have a nice talk with Yaoyao." Dong Linglong was dazzled by Meng Shisan's smile as charming as the sun. Feeling more and more happy, he turned around and said to Dong Kuan.
Dong Kuan was not annoyed by being urged so rudely. On the contrary, just as he wanted, he couldn't wait to ask clearly, so he immediately followed the trend: "Miss Meng, Tong Yu is so shameless today. I am coming with Yaya. I really want to ask Miss Meng something important, and I would like to ask Miss Meng to tell you the truth."
"Mr. Dong, please ask me." Meng Shisan was slightly surprised. On the other hand, it doesn't show half of it.
Dong Linglong was distracted by the important things her elder brother said.
Before she brought her eldest brother to the Meng Mansion, her sister quietly told her that the eldest brother might be interested in Yaoyao. But now that she heard it, she felt that was not the case.
Yes, my sister must be wrong.
She has never noticed that her eldest brother and Yaoyao have anything to do with each other!
Dong Kuan said bluntly: "Brother Zhong Nan fell ill recently, could it be related to Miss Meng?"
Zhongnan?
Dong Linglong understood that the eldest brother was here for Young Master Cui!
She just said that the eldest brother had no interest in Yaoyao at all.
No, it’s confirmed.
"Seventh Young Master Cui had previously forcibly detained the maidservant from my side. After I found out, I came to ask for it. When I returned home, I heard that Young Master Cui was ill." Meng Shisan said simply and concisely. He explained, and then asked, "So, Mr. Dong thinks it has something to do with Liangchen or not?"
"Of course it has nothing to do with it!" Dong Linglong replied first, "How can Mr. Cui Qi forcibly detain your people? It is natural for you to come to ask for your people when he forcibly detains them. How will he be sick after that? Can it be blamed on you?"
Fu frowned and said to Dong Kuan: "Brother, this The matter is obviously not Yaoyao's fault. My eldest brother has always been very good at distinguishing right from wrong. Why did he come to the door today and ask such an unreasonable question? "
Faced with Meng Shisan's rhetorical question, Dong Kuan was trying to defend himself. , he didn’t expect that his eldest sister’s rhetorical question followed, which directly choked him.
If the facts are as Miss Meng said, first Zhong Nan forcibly detained Miss Meng’s maid, then regardless of whether Zhong Nan was justified or unreasonable, in short, this move was indeed inappropriate, then what happened to Miss Meng later? The young lady came to ask for the maid back and successfully brought her back to the Meng Mansion. This was the proper thing to do and there was nothing wrong with it.
However, what if the facts are not what Miss Meng said?
He had a headache.
Coming to Meng Mansion to ask Meng Shisan face to face, Dong Kuan really had no choice because he wanted to see Cui Yu, but Cui Yu didn't want to see him.
He couldn't see Cui Yu, so he had to bite the bullet and come to see Meng Shisan.
Unexpectedly, what I heard was that my best friend was being unreasonable and that the fault was with my best friend and had nothing to do with Miss Meng.
