"So what is the purpose of your grandmother asking me to send this letter? To make you accept it calmly, or to let you find a way to prevent your father from agreeing?" Xie Suyu looked at Xu Qingmo and asked softly.
Xu Qingmo raised his head and glanced at Xu Yanquan, then took back the letter: "In the early years, my eldest uncle asked to marry my aunt, which was considered a high request, so that the He family could have a big tree to rely on in the turmoil. Now, the He family is stable. Given the situation, my grandmother naturally doesn’t want her descendants to have this idea of clinging to others’ influence.”
"So your grandmother wants you to know about this matter earlier and be mentally prepared so that you can be caught off guard?" Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo, a little strange, "Your grandmother is an elder after all, if he feels it is inappropriate You can just say it, so why put the matter back on yourself?"
Xu Qingmo glanced at Meng Hetong helplessly: "As I said just now, in order to stabilize the He family, my grandmother clung to her aunt's family. Now how can my grandmother ask my aunt not to do this? What? Isn’t this just a slap in the face?”
Meng Hetong sneered: "Then this can only mean that your grandmother herself was not upright at the time, so she no longer has the confidence to teach future generations!"
What Meng Hetong said was hard to hear, but it was indeed rough. Xu Yanquan walked up to Xu Qingmo, patted her shoulder, and comforted her: "Don't worry, mother and father will not let go, and you don't have to be too nervous." Worry!"
Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'm not particularly worried. It's just that it was written in the letter. It is said that my eldest aunt also prepared a copybook from my cousin, saying that she wanted to pay a visit to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion."
Meng Hetong, who originally looked like he was seeing a joke, instantly became a little uneasy. You know, in comparison, the He family was proposing marriage to the Xu family, and Xu Qingmo had his parents supporting him. Even if his parents relented, Yes, Xu Yanquan too, absolutely impossible to agree.
But Meng Hetong is different. He is the same age as Xu Yanquan, but they have never been married or engaged. It is said that there are very few people who come to ask for marriage. If the eldest lady of the He family comes to the door at this time, this Meng Da The lady may not disagree!
Meng Hetong was holding tea but couldn't drink it, and his face gradually became ugly.
Xie Suyu on the side joked: "I know this Miss He. When she was in Hangzhou City, she always came to see Meng Hetong from time to time. Today she is here to deliver cakes, and tomorrow she is here to deliver nourishing soup. Anyway, she always wants to I tried my best to come to him, but at that time, I felt something was wrong, and I really didn’t expect that the people in Hangzhou would be so open!"
Thinking of the things that happened in Hangzhou City, Meng Hetong felt his head hurt: "I have never seen such a girl who can't understand people's words. There were several times when I ran out of words. , but this Miss He seems to have no ears. She told him today that she would not come tomorrow. Early the next morning, she would stand at the door and wait for you, no matter the wind or rain. It’s really…sigh…”
"A passionate woman, why did you provoke her in the first place?" Xu Yanquan didn't have any sympathy at all, but actually laughed at him a few times.
Meng Hetong was so angry that he kept rolling his eyes: "You should ask your sister when I provoked him. As soon as I arrived in Hangzhou, I wanted to stay away from her. It's really..."
"Okay, okay, don't you just want to prove your infinite charm by saying so much?" Xie Suyu interrupted him, "This is the trouble you caused yourself. Even if you say you didn't offend her, it's still your fault. If you did something wrong, you should face it yourself."
Meng Hetong looked at Xie Suyu, who had no conscience, and was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"It's useless for you to be angry! You don't want to think about you. You have hurt so many girls' hearts before. Maybe this Miss He was sent by God to take away this scourge of yours!" Xie Suyu said with a smile.
"I thank you, but please shut your mouth and stop talking." Meng Hetong drank all the tea in the cup in one breath, then let out a long sigh and said no more.
Xu Qingmo didn't care much. She glanced at Zhengyang beside her, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If you beat the drum tomorrow, the matter of official bandits will inevitably be implicated in the royal family because of Mrs. Lin's matter. , shouldn’t you think about how to handle this matter now?”
The expressions of the three men instantly became serious.
Meng Hetong and Xie Suyu searched almost all the waters in Hangzhou City and arrested almost all the water thieves. They did not even leave behind them the protective umbrellas, but there was indeed no royal family in the evidence. human intervention.
Therefore, when everything pointed to the Prince's Mansion, Xie Suyu and Meng Hetong were very suspicious. Meng Hetong also knew the truth because he lay on the roof of other people's houses and eavesdropped on their quarrels, but he did not tell the truth about the matter. Tell Xie Suyu directly, because he knows very well that Xu Qingmo's spearhead has been aimed at the prince from beginning to end.
Xu Yanquan, who was sitting aside, suddenly said: "This matter only points to the prince's house, and it may not be the prince's doing. Since the prince's maternal family fell, the prince has always been calm. Nothing happened, and he can't." In this hot topic, we are involved in such a big case."
"It's impossible for my father to point the matter directly at the prince because of Mrs. Lin's one-sided words. What he wants to see is evidence after all, and Mrs. Lin can only prove that Suzhou Weaving has an affair with the royal family, and from that servant The correspondence found in my concubine's residence can only prove that these letters came from the Prince's Mansion!" Xie Suyu looked at Xu Qingmo and said word by word.
Xu Qingmo met Xie Suyu's eyes and chuckled: "What we have to do is to submit our evidence. The next thing is for our Majesty to make his own decision. We cannot ask him to act according to our ideas. It’s impossible to do something! I hope to bring down the prince with just such a small thing.”
Zhengyang, who was standing aside, heard Xu Qingmo speak out about the matter so bluntly for the first time. She suddenly became a little nervous and subconsciously squeezed Xu Yanquan's hand.
Zhengyang knew that Xu Qingmo would say these words in front of him because she believed in her without any scruples. Zhengyang was very happy because of Xu Qingmo's belief, but also very scared because of his family and his biological children. Brother, he is planning something that will make them behead.
