Meng Hetong stood there and waited for a long time. It was only after He Anye agreed to present all his evidence that he revealed his next plan.
Xu Qingmo was not interested in those so-called plans. She walked out of the gate of Yizhuang and looked in the direction of the village in a daze. Qu Lian walked up to her and said softly: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Qingmo shook his head: "I just think those children are quite pitiful!"
"Actually, now, they still have people who are resentful and have people who harbor hatred. When they are older and understand what is right and wrong, that will be the time to be truly pitiful!" Qu Lian looked into the distance and said helplessly.
Xu Qingmo smiled, then patted Qu Lian on the shoulder: "So, to understand the truth and distinguish right from wrong, you still have to read more. You can't just practice martial arts. Reading is more important!"
Qu Lian lowered her head silently and remained silent.
Xu Qingmo immediately couldn't stop laughing: "You, you don't speak when I ask you to study!"
"How can a master force his servants to read and write all day long? I have never seen anyone like you!" Qu Lian pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction.
Just when Xu Qingmo was about to encourage Qu Lian, Meng Hetong suddenly walked out: "Why are you standing outside? Isn't it cold?"
Xu Qingmo looked back at Meng Hetong, his eyes full of indifference: "There's no wind outside, it's not that cold, it's better than being plotted inside!"
Meng Hetong was stunned for a moment, then hurried forward: "Are you angry?"
"Why, you threatened my uncle with me, why can't I be angry anymore?" Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows, his face full of anger.
Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and then suddenly took out the hand behind his back. It was a bunch of red candied haws: "Eat a bunch of candied haws to relieve your anger?"
Xu Qingmo looked at the bunch of candied haws and was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, the image of him sitting on his grave and eating candied haws flashed through her mind. She unconsciously took the candied haws and asked, "Why do you always give me candied haws?"
"Because you like it!" Meng Hetong replied without hesitation.
Xu Qingmo was a little confused: "I like it? When did I like candied haws?"
"You probably don't remember!" Meng Hetong laughed, "When you were one year old, I went with my father and mother to attend. You were only a little bit old, and you were held in your father's arms, coveting others. The little girl at home is so greedy for the candied haws, her mouth is watering all the time!"
Xu Qingmo's face was confused: "Huh?"
Meng Hetong raised his hand and rubbed Xu Qingmo's head: "It happened a long time ago, you must not remember it!"
Xu Qingmo looked at the candied haws in front of him for a long time, and finally came to his senses: "You threatened my uncle with me, and you bribed me with just one candied haws? Meng Hetong, you underestimate me!"
"Then what do you want? As long as you can tell me, even if it's the stars in the sky, I will find a way to pick them for you!" Meng Hetong walked up to Xu Qingmo and stared at her for a moment.
Xu Qingmo was a little flustered by Meng Hetong, and subconsciously looked away: "Whoever wants your things, I can buy whatever you can give me, and I still need your things!"
Meng Hetong noticed Xu Qingmo's dodge, raised the corners of her mouth slightly without any trace, and then retreated to a distance where she could feel more comfortable: "That's what you said, don't say I didn't compensate you!"
Xu Qingmo was too lazy to pay attention to him. He stared at the candied haws in his hand, and then took a hard bite as if retaliating.
The memorial of He Anye's petition was quickly delivered directly to Xie Suyu, who handed it over to the emperor himself.
After seeing the names on the memorial, the emperor laughed out loud, and then threw the memorial on the heads of the ministers involved.
The people on the list were immediately taken into custody, and the emperor ordered Xie Su Yu to go to Jiangnan to inspect and rectify the situation. The issue of collusion between officials and bandits was brought to the forefront.
While all the ministers in the court were in danger, Ningyuan Houfu was in a state of panic.
Because of this, Madam Xu learned that Xu Qingmo encountered water thieves when he went to Hangzhou City, and she was so anxious that she was anxious. Later, she heard that Xu Qingmo had killed many water thieves in order to protect himself, and she was so anxious that she fainted.
Princess Zhengyang hurriedly invited the imperial doctor, and then the Ximai pulse was diagnosed. Marquis Ningyuan was so happy that he went to court to ask for leave, which made the emperor who was still angry almost beat him up. He also locked him in the palace to help the emperor. Read the memorial.
And Xu Yanquan was entangled in military affairs. As a bride, Princess Zhengyang had to take care of the house, send people to look after Mrs. Xu, and deal with people sent from the palace from time to time.
Princess Zhengyang was so busy that the house was still in chaos. She was so angry that she cried when she stayed up late one night looking at the account books.
Xu Yanquan felt sorry for his daughter-in-law and sent a letter to Hangzhou overnight, asking Xu Qingmo to go home to help. Xu Yanquan was still worried about the messenger and asked Maidong to deliver it in person.
Maidong worked hard and rushed to Hangzhou City in three days. In the early morning, he knocked on the door of He Mansion.
When Xu Qingmo was woken up by Huaying, he was still a little angry: "What are you doing at night!"
"Girl, there's a letter from the Crown Prince!" Hua Ying said quickly, "It's from Ophiopogon japonicus!"
If I had known earlier, Maidong was Xu Yanquan's personal bodyguard, so it was not a very important matter. Maidong would not leave Xu Yanquan easily, so something must have happened at home!
Xu Qingmo immediately got out of bed, put on a coat and hurried out.
Maidong was standing in the yard. When he saw Xu Qingmo, he quickly stepped forward and handed the letter to Xu Qingmo: "Girl, the eldest lady is ill, the Marquis is detained in the palace, and the prince is unable to do anything. Please leave the girl today to return to the capital. Take care of business!”
Hua Ying and Qu Lian were both anxious after listening to Mai Dong's words, but Xu Qingmo laughed after reading the letter: "I understand, you go and have a good sleep. Early tomorrow morning, I will say goodbye to my grandmother and set off!" "
Maidong responded: "Yes!"
Waiting until Maidong left, Hua Ying asked: "Girl, didn't you say something happened in the house? Why are you still so happy?"
"My mother is pregnant!" Xu Qingmo said with a smile.
Hua Ying and Qu Lian were both surprised: "The eldest lady is pregnant?"
Xu Qingmo nodded with a smile, and then said: "That's all we know about this, don't say anything else! My father, a stupid young man, went to ask for leave when His Majesty was angry, and was then detained in the palace to help His Majesty approve the memorial. !”
"Then, why did the prince ask Maidong to deliver the letter?" Hua Ying was a little confused.
"There were suddenly so many things going on at home, and my princess sister-in-law was a little overwhelmed. When she was looking at the account books at night, she was so angry that she cried because of the bad debts. My brother felt distressed, so he asked Maidong to deliver the letter overnight!" Xu Qingmo thought about this scene, He couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, it's time to go back!"
