Chapter 74: Healed
Jiang Yishi didn’t want to go outside.
She looked back at Meng Zhimo, “Being outside is always better than being at home to catch Fu’s faults, that evil woman, even worse than County Lord Pinghe. Pinghe is explicitly bad, while Fu is playing dirty, last time she almost set you up, how dangerous. Don’t worry, I won’t let her bully me.”
Only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to prevent a thief. Without moving Fu down, it was impossible for her and Meng Zhimo to live in peace.
Meng Zhimo was touched. The girl in front of him was beautiful, calm, icy and generous, very different from those women in the boudoir.
He said, ”Good, let’s expose Fu’s true colors as early as possible. I will make every effort to make our courtyard like a bronze wall, and find a way to catch her handle, so that she lightly dare not provoke you. I will also request Grandfather that after we are married, until we ensure complete peace in our home, I will ask his old man to live in the mansion at all times.”
The main reason for having the old Grandfather live in the mansion was to suppress his father, Grandfather Cheng.
Jiang Yishi nodded her head. This was his promise, and she believed he could fulfill it.
After the two of them stared at each other for a moment, they both blushed and smiled. Meng Zhimo’s thick skin continued to look, and Jiang Yishi lowered her head.
A little later, Jiang Yishi raised her head and said, ”By the way, I still have something to tell Brother Meng. Shui Zhu told me about a shocking event, about the Hundred Zi Temple ……”
When Meng Zhimo heard this, his eyes glazed over and he once again forgot to feign blindness.
“There’s actually such a thing? Those monks are really, really desecrating the Buddhist Pure Land. Damn it!”
Jiang Yishi said, “Not only monks, but also related to Zhao Yuancheng and Su Xin ……”
She then told the story about her having Jiang Da follow Su Xin. She couldn’t talk about Meng Yue, she only said that that time when Su Xin fought with Li Zhenbao, he looked at himself with a sticky gaze, and after returning to the capital, he even came to hang around the vicinity of Huzhuang, so she asked Jiang Da to follow Su Xin without incident. In such a short period of time, she found out that Zhao Yuancheng and Su Xin had been to Baizi Temple twice and stayed overnight ……
Meng Zhimo’s expression turned serious.
“Okay, I know, I’ll discuss this with Grandfather and have people monitor Hundred Zi Temple and Zhao Yuancheng and Su Xin. However, even if we catch evidence of Hundred Zi Temple’s guilt, we can’t make this matter public. Otherwise, any woman who has gone to Baizi Temple to offer incense, whether she was victimized or not, will be plunged into doom. The child that was born, whether it was the evil monk’s or not, would be finished for the rest of his life.
“Baizi Temple has been built for decades, and there are thousands of women who have worshipped there, giving birth to children whose oldest ones are dozens of years old, not only is he finished, but he will also spread the seed to his children and grandchildren……. This matter must be kept secret. After checking, I will have the people burn the Hundred Zi Temple along with those evil monks, so that the place full of sin and those secrets will disappear forever.”
Jiang Yishi was also unwilling to let the matter of the Hundred Zi Temple come out in the open, otherwise he didn’t know how many people would die. Those people were victims just like Shui Zhu, it wasn’t them who deserved to die. But she knew that certain people in her previous life were even more unwilling for the Hundred Zi Temple to exist in the world, so she didn’t say much.
Before, she thought that Meng Zhimo had gone to war and wouldn’t be too attached to human life, but she didn’t expect him to have this kind of compassion.
She nodded her head and said, “Big Brother Meng is well thought out, those things really can’t be told.”
In order for Meng Zhimo to understand in more detail, he called Shui Zhu over again.
Although Shui Zhu was too shy to do so, she still told all the details truthfully.
Meng Ruimo finished his lunch here before returning to the manor with two of his soldiers.
The next day, in the middle of the morning, Elder Duke Meng and Meng Ruimo came to the Sovereign Manor together.
Both of their faces did not look good.
Jiang Yishi was most concerned about Meng Xin and asked, “How is Sister Meng doing?”
Elder Duke Meng sighed heavily and said, “That silly child, she said she was unwilling to merge, saying that she couldn’t let go of Xin’er. She doesn’t think about it, if she is separated and alive, she will be able to find a way to get Xin’er out. If she was rubbed to death, Xin’er would really have to stay in the Huang family. That child looks gentle and soft, but she’s really screwed up tight, and I don’t know who she follows.”
The old man seemed to have aged several years at once.
Jiang Yishi felt that Meng Yue was dead set against leaving, perhaps because she had listened to the words of Eldest Mrs. Meng as well as the compulsion of her subordinates. She also understood that a strong person like Elder Duke Meng could not be broken by outsiders, and the only ones who could break him were his own family.
Meng Zhimo dry anger could not do anything about that sibling.
Elder Duke Meng added, “I’ve already heard from Ruimo about the Hundred Zi Temple and will keep an eye on them.”
He was also shocked when he heard about this. Since the beginning of the dynasty, and even in the previous dynasty, he had never heard of a temple that dared to act in such a reckless manner, and was actually involved with the Zhao family and the Su Xin scion. He also agreed with his grandson’s handling of the matter, and the Hundred Sons Temple could only be resolved privately, not publicly known to the world.
Both of them were in a bad mood and didn’t talk much. Jiang Yishi then went into the kitchen to make dishes that they and Jiang Xun like to eat, and Jiang Xun will also come to the manor this evening.
Thirteen this day, rain and snow, the weather is unusually cold. Today was also the day Meng Zhimo came to the manor for treatment.
After breakfast, she went into the kitchen to prepare the dishes that the two grandchildren liked to eat.
At the beginning of the sixth hour, Meng Ruimo walked in with an umbrella, his face especially bad, still followed by Meng Qingshan and Meng Dingshan.
Jiang Yishi looked at his eyes flashed a light, fleeting. The first feeling wasn’t that he was really upset, but that he was acting, powerfully suppressing his emotions. Then, it was possible that his eyesight had been fully restored.
Jiang Yishi also strongly suppressed his emotions, glanced at him without saying anything, and directly invited him to the west wing with a gesture.
The two soldiers were directly invited to the east wing for tea.
Jiang Yishi finished making the tea and just placed it on the table, Meng Zhimo’s big hand held her small hand, “My eyes are completely healed, thank you.”
He suppressed the volume of his voice, his voice could not hide his excitement.
Jiang Yishi looked at him excitedly, a layer of watery mist welling up in her eyes. Shaking her voice, she whispered, “Really healed? That’s great. From now on, no one can hurt you …… anymore.”
Saying that, tears fell. This was her obsession in her past life and present life, and it was finally realized, or in such a short period of time.
“Yes, my eyes are healed, I will find a way to clear all obstacles and make you happy ……”
His hand used a few moments of force before Jiang Yishi noticed that her hand was being held by him.
She glanced at the door and window, no one passed by outside, no one saw them like this. Still blushing, she withdrew her hand and sat back down on the chair.
Meng Zhimo continued, “I discussed with Grandfather last night, when Lianshan comes back, tell him that he has already contacted Brother Dongshan, and that Brother Dongshan has found a famous doctor in Shu Xi to treat his eyes, and that the old man is too old to travel long distances. I have no choice but to go to Shuxi to cure the disease, next year, February and March eyes healed back to the capital. Ming is to cure eyes, in fact is to use this time to secretly do some things …….”
He couldn’t let go of Jiang Yishi, but for the sake of better days in the future, he had to separate for the time being.
