Chapter 31 – Brother Meng

Li Zhenbao’s head, hands and feet are stuck with silver needles, can not move, but his mouth is not idle, talking about “women do not get married, do not experience the taste of love, do not give birth to a child to raise a child, life is not complete” and so on.

Amused Jiang Yishi giggle, a few subordinates are shy red face.

Acupuncture finished already Shen time, Li Zhenbao to take Li Qi to go.

Not to mention that Li Zhenbao couldn’t let go, Li Qi couldn’t let go either.

“Auntie, I’ll come back to play.”

Jiang Yishi gave Li Qi a food box of snacks and promised, “Good, you are welcome to come and play anytime.”

Seeing that Li Qi kept turning back to look at the brocade chicken, she gave him the brocade chicken again.

“Finally sending the two little ancestors away.”

Sister Wu let out a big sigh of relief. That dieting young master had no control over his mouth and said all sorts of shameful things, what would happen if he taught his own girl to be bad.

She whispered a few words to Jiang Yishi.

Jiang Yishi laughed, “She is straightforward, and she dares to say anything. But the words are not rough, very reasonable.”

Previously, she was bent on getting along with Li Zhenbao based on Li Zhenbao’s identity and “food”. And now, she genuinely liked that little ninny.

Having lived a new life, her thoughts had changed, and she had opened her eyes to many things.

Jiang Yishi also noticed the change in Shui Ling’s expression in front of Li Zhenbao, reprimanded her, and said that if she did it again, she would be kicked out, and punished her to kneel under the porch for an hour. This girl is loyal, but too bold and unruly, must be taught a lesson.

Shui Ling knew she had done wrong, and honestly knelt under the corridor. Sister Wu followed and educated her.

Shui Ling cried, “Sister, I know I’m wrong, I won’t dare to do it again, please help me to say something, don’t let the girl drive me away.”

It rained during the night, pattering all night. It stopped in the morning, and the blue sky was as if it had been washed.

Jiang Yishi said to Shui Xiang who came in to serve her in dressing, “I think I heard a cat calling in the night.”

Shui Xiang laughed, “It’s a civet cat, hiding under the eaves from the rain, and ran away when the rain stopped. It came a few times during the day before.”

Jiang Yishi remembered the civet cat that had asked her for food at Zhaomingan and fish at Mengjiazhuang and said, “Feed it more food when it comes.”

At the end of the hour Wu You Gui stood in front of the courtyard gate and waited. At the beginning of the first quarter of the sixth hour, he saw an oxcart slowly approaching his house. The driver’s hat was pressed very low, and only when he got closer did he see that it was Meng Lianshan.

The oxcart drove into the gate of Huzhuang and stopped in the outer courtyard.

Meng Lianshan got out of the car and helped Meng Ruimo off the oxcart, and then helped him into the hanging flower gate.

Meng Zhimo saw a blurry figure coming in style, and her face couldn’t help but turn a little red. Stopping to arch his hand toward her, a smile at the corner of his mouth, he said in a warm voice, “Miss Jiang, thank you.”

This performance of his will not scare the girl after all, right?

Jiang Yishi curtsied and smiled, “Meng Shizi is polite, this way please.”

Several people entered the north room of the west wing.

Jiang Yishi first massaged Meng Zhimo’s head before asking him to lie down on the couch.

Meng Lianshan took off his shoes and socks, and Jiang Yishi applied acupuncture to his head, the back of his neck, and his feet.

Meng Zhimo quietly lay on his back.

Meng Lianshan bowed to Jiang Yishi and smiled, ”My old master likes the dim sum that Miss Jiang sent, especially the rose crystal cake, it’s handsome and delicious. My old master would like to have some more, so that his old man can satisfy his craving and also take some back to the capital for Brother An and Sister Xin to eat.”

Meng Zhao’an was the son of the Second Master Meng, and the only fourth generation child in the Meng family currently, at the age of three. Huang Xin was the daughter of Meng Yue, the eldest girl of the Meng family, and was five years old. Meng Yue was also Meng Zhaomo’s only sibling.

Jiang Yishi laughed, “Good, let’s have someone make some more and send it over next morning.”

After a long time, Meng Ruimo, who was lying on her back, said, “Miss Jiang, I’m sorry.”

Jiang Yishi froze, “What did Meng Shizi say?”

Meng Zhimo said, “General Jiang died because of me, letting you and Jiang Xun suffer.”

Last night, he actually dreamed that Jiang Yixi had left the house, Jiang Xun had fallen ill and died, and he had killed Great Lady Meng then committed suicide. He woke up in fear and could not sleep for a long time …… He was afraid that this was some kind of foreshadowing.

He couldn t die, there were still so many things to do. He is even more unwilling to see their siblings fall into that kind of tragic situation, then how can he stand up to General Jiang. Although General Jiang did not export the trust before he died, he knew how much General Jiang could not let go of this pair of children …….

Jiang Yishi said, “My father did that, must be Meng Shizi worth protecting with his life. I believe that if Meng Shizi saw my father in danger, he would also fight to save him. I would also like to thank Meng Shizi for letting Big Brother Lianshan take care of my brother and me.”

This gentle voice made Meng Zhimo’s heart feel at ease.

Meng Ruimo inclined his head to look at Jiang Yishi, his blurred figure enveloped in the incoming sunlight, the halo of light gilded her inked hair with a ring of light. If such a beautiful girl were to lose her green silk, there would be no justice.

Meng Zhimo’s heart was clogged up. Softly, he said, “General Jiang loves Miss Jiang very much, and speaks of Miss Jiang more than he speaks of Jiang Xun.”

Jiang Yishi had moisture in her eyes and murmured, “Yes, my father loves me more than my younger brother. He often said that when a daughter is an official, a daughter should be well loved in her mother’s house. Boys grow up to stand up to the sky, can protect themselves. And a girl, if she meets a bad person and then has no father or brother to lean on, she’ll be pitiful.”

Meng Ruimo’s heart fluttered, was the dream a foreshadowing that Jiang Yixi had met a bad man and lost the support of her father and brothers, and that was why she had become a monk?

If she married Meng Ruyu, just because of Fu’s unkindness, as well as Meng Ruyu’s confusion and lack of commitment, it would not be a case of meeting an unlucky person. Fortunately, she did not take that step, and in the future, she will have to watch her closely.

And sister and niece ……

Meng Ruimo said, ”Previously, I have been obsessed with my own injuries and couldn’t extricate myself from them, I didn’t take care of you guys, I’m sorry General Jiang. Regardless of whether my eyes can be cured or not, I will take care of Miss Jiang and Jiang Xun as if they were my own sister and brother, and not let you suffer.”

Jiang Yishi was tempted to say, “You took care of me even when your eyes were bad.

Instead, her mouth said, “Where, I also want to thank Meng Shizi for reminding me. That person, I can’t marry ……”

She also wanted to say, Great Lady Meng is not kind to you, you have to pay attention to her, and then forcefully held back. Now was not the time, it was too presumptuous to say so.

Meng Zhimo’s eyes darkened, and softly said, “You’re doing the right thing, some things, or some people, aren’t like what they appear to be.”

Jiang Yishi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Listening to his meaning, perhaps he had already seen that there was something wrong with Grand Madam Meng or Meng Ruyu……. This couldn’t be better.

Meng Ruimo added, “Miss Jiang calling me Meng Shizi is too polite. Same as Jiang Xun, call me Big Brother Meng.”

“Big Brother Meng.” Jiang Yishi lightly called out.

These three words, she had long wanted to call.

This name call, like a gentle spring breeze, blew Meng Zhimo’s entire body and mind warm. He smiled and agreed, “Eh.”

The smile was as bright as the spring sun outside the window.
