Meng murmured questions, but did not wait for Liu Yingying to reply. She continued to talk to herself: "I married the master when I was young. I didn't expect that so many years have passed. Time has passed so quickly." It went by so fast..."
Meng murmured, with a few coughs interspersed with her words.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yingying was silent and suddenly said: "Why don't you speak..."
Liu Yingying twitched the corners of her lips and was about to speak when she saw Meng suddenly remembering something and interrupted Liu Yingying's words and continued to ask: "I heard that you can also drink water?"
Meng's voice was gentle and weak, as if she was talking to herself or chatting with Liu Yingying. She paused and then said with a smile: "I have always admired people who know how to swim water. You Do you know why? Because I was rescued by the master himself after I fell into the water."
Speaking of the master, a faint blush seemed to appear on Meng's pale and weak face, and her withered yellow eyes seemed to become much clearer when she mentioned these two words.
"It was a biting winter day. A thick layer of ice formed on the surface of Moon Lake. I accidentally slipped and fell into the lake. The water was so cold that day. It was biting and freezing. I was shivering. , I thought I was going to drown or freeze to death that day, but at this time the master appeared...ahem..."
Meng's eyes were gentle as he spoke, with a hint of reminiscence and happiness on his bony face. But as he spoke, he couldn't bear it anymore and continued to cough.
Chun Mian immediately came up to pat her back, and gave her water to wipe her. After Meng calmed down, she looked at Liu Yingying opposite and asked again: "Why don't you speak?"
Liu Yingying was sure that the other party wanted her to speak this time. After thinking about it, she curled her lips and said, "Madam and the fifth master are really... a match made in heaven."
When Meng heard this, she immediately smiled with satisfaction. She just smiled, her skinny face was distorted for a moment, and then she raised her eyes and fell on Liu Yingying, looking at her intently, and suddenly Leng Buding said: "You are more beautiful than in the portrait. You are so beautiful that I can't even take my eyes away when I see you. No wonder I have been in a state of despair since I saw you——"
Meng said suddenly.
Liu Yingying pursed her lips slightly when she heard this, and was about to speak, but she saw Meng taking a hard breath, and then raised her breath and said: "Don't worry, I didn't send you to condemn you. I called you here. After all, everyone has a love for beauty. When I first saw the master, I was also fascinated on the spot."
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I first met the master, I felt that I would definitely marry him in this life. Although I have an ordinary family background and mediocre appearance, in the end I have been favored by God and really made my wish come true. Marry the master."
"God treats me well——"
Meng said eloquently.
Rourou said with a smile.
It seemed like she hadn't said so many words for a long time. She was out of breath for a few words, but she was in great spirits and kept chattering away. She was short-tempered.
Finally, as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Liu Yingying's face again, he looked at her intently, and suddenly said: "Although this is the first time we have met today, I somehow feel that we are the same kind of people. "
Meng's eyes were sharp, and those dull yellow eyes were inexplicably shrewd at this moment.
Liu Yingying couldn't help but be a little surprised. After all, the Meng who appeared in Shou'an Hall last time was a biting and stingy, a petty person who couldn't stand up to the public. In Shen Yuechan's eyes, he was also a weak, stubborn, and powerless person. However, what Liu Yingying saw today, she felt that was not the case.
As the two looked at each other, Liu Yingying said slowly: "Yinger has no talent or virtue, how can she be compared with Madam."
Meng looked at her and suddenly smiled. She didn't say anything. After a long while, she coughed again and said, "I really want to have a long talk with you, but unfortunately my body really doesn't allow it -"
While speaking, Meng coughed violently again, covered it with a handkerchief, and saw blood again. Chun Mian immediately wanted to persuade her anxiously, but saw Meng wave her hand lightly, dragging her defeated body towards Liu Yingying. Said: "I won't tolerate any twists and turns today. I invited you here today because I have something to discuss with you."
With that said, Meng tried her best to push herself up from the wheelchair, and said directly to Liu Yingying: "As you can see, I don't have much time left. In inviting you here today, I actually want to bring the master and Yu'er leaves it to you."
Meng threw a thunderbolt with a nonchalant look on her face. The explosion caused Chun Mian, the maid beside her, to look startled and shocked. But when she saw Liu Yingying's expression was normal, Meng couldn't help but said in surprise: "Aren't you surprised?"
Liu Yingying thought for a while and then answered slowly: "Unexpected, not unexpected at all."
"how to say?"
Meng's throat felt a little itchy, and she coughed twice and asked.
Liu Yingying said: "Since Madam said that Madam and I are the same kind of people, you should know what I think."
Liu Yingying returned the original words to Meng.
Meng stared at Liu Yingying and slowly narrowed her eyes. After a moment, she said calmly: "Then what do you mean-"
Liu Yingying did not answer immediately.
Before stepping into this courtyard, Liu Yingying thought that Meng wanted to make things difficult for her by calling her here today, but after seeing Meng, Liu Yingying felt that things were not that simple.
A terminally ill person who is about to die has no time to make things difficult for someone he has never met.
However, after hearing Meng's words, Liu Yingying was still surprised.
After thinking about it, Liu Yingying asked directly: "I want to know why you chose me——"
Choose someone you've never met.
Mengshi lowered her eyes slowly and said helplessly: "I didn't choose you, but Yu'er chose you, and it was the master who chose you -"
At this point, Meng sighed, looked at Liu Yingying and said, "I think you know why Yu'er chose you. As for the master -"
Meng's eyes swept away, and suddenly fell to the screen aside, looking at it lightly, and said: "I am a womanizer, and the birds and birds in the backyard never stop. Yu'er is too young after all. I'm afraid there will be no one to protect me after I leave." I can't control him. If the master marries again in the future, and the latter one can neither control the master nor dislike Yu'er, what will Yu'er do then? Therefore, I can only choose one who can hold on tightly. You are undoubtedly the best choice to live in the master’s house and be kind to Yu’er. If you move into the fifth room, those warblers and swallows in the backyard will no longer be able to jump around. In this way, I can feel at ease. ”
Meng didn't tolerate crooked people, and he answered all questions.
Liu Yingying asked: "How can Madam guarantee that I will treat the Seventeenth Young Master well?" Thinking of that day in the Old Madam's courtyard, when she heard the Meng family's family coming to make trouble, she couldn't help but said, "Madam, pick a suitable person from her natal family." Wouldn't it be more appropriate to take care of Young Master Seventeen?"
Meng smiled and said, "I think so too, but how can those vulgar things catch my eyes?"
Meng's eyes were full of disdain.
After saying that, he looked at Liu Yingying with a smile and said, "If you are willing, I will clean up this backyard completely before I die, so that you can have smooth sailing in the future and a smooth and worry-free life."
Meng said sincerely.
But Liu Yingying thought for a while, then directly met Meng's eyes and said: "Madam is trying so hard to plan for me, what do I need to give in exchange?"
Liu Yingying looked at Meng steadily.
But she saw Mengshi showing a look of approval for a moment. After a while, she glanced at Chunmian. Chunmian immediately took out a bowl of soup from the inside. Meng glanced at the dark bowl of soup and smiled softly. : "You only need to drink this bowl of Juezi soup, and from now on you will be the mistress of this Zhichunyuan."
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent.
At this time, there was a sudden banging sound inside, and then, the tea bowl on the table rolled to the ground and shattered instantly.
It was as if someone had flicked the tea bowl on the table to the ground.
Liu Yingying subconsciously raised her eyes and looked behind the screen. Was there anyone inside?
But it was pitch dark inside, and there was no clue what was going on.
At this time, Meng continued to say: "Don't look at me like this. If you want to climb high, you need to pay a price. For example, I paid for my health and life. You are just a peerless son. So, To be able to achieve such extreme wealth, enjoy a lifetime of happiness, and also allow your entire Liu family to follow the chickens and dogs to heaven, this deal is a bargain, isn't it?"
"Only by drinking this soup can I safely hand over Yu'er to you."
Meng was sincere.
But she saw Liu Yingying suddenly smiled and said, "Madam, how did you know that I had to go to this step?"
"Because the path you are taking now is the same path I took back then. If it weren't for the purpose of clinging to a high family, how could you go all the way to join the Shen family? Now that you have come to the Shen family, you should know that this high family is not so easy to climb. Six The nail that hit my brother's place is the best example. You can't reach it if you go higher, and you can't see it if you go lower. But Master, here is your best choice in the entire Shen family."
"Unfortunately, my path has not been smooth, sir. But if it were you, how could you not find a bright road?"
Chapter 103
"What Madam said seems to be very reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, it is not entirely true. Whether I can take this road, Fifth Master, is another matter for now. Even if I really want to go, it doesn't seem to matter. There is no need to rush for the moment, after all, the future - we still have a long way to go, right? I should not be so impatient that I have to drink a bowl of Juezi soup at this stall. I am not more than ten now. Fifth, we are far from the point where we hate marrying. Although a high-ranking family is difficult to reach, Madam should know that Da Yu is not the only high-ranking family of the Shen family. There is also more than one fifth master in the main door of the Shen family. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the high gate is unreachable, there is still the middle gate and the low gate. There will never be an end in this world. Why do I have to embark on a road of despair? I am not that big. To save the world, sacrifice oneself to benefit the whole family, my life creed is to sacrifice all sentient beings to achieve oneself, so the words Madam just said are not very convincing to me."
"Furthermore, Madam said that the path I am taking now is the same path that Madam took in the past. This is true. But if Madam says that I will get the same ending as Madam if I take the same path, I am sorry. Ying'er couldn't agree anymore. You have to know that although the road is the same but the people walking it are different, it doesn't mean the end point will be the same. Just like in the Moon Lake, the lady who fell into the water was the one waiting to die, but I was the one who saved people. Can my wife and I be the same?"
"What's more, based on Ying'er's understanding after staying at the Shen family for two months, the old lady has the right to make decisions about fifth master Shen's marriage, and fifth master Shen has the right to make the decision. Only his wife...the ability to make the decision is relatively weak. Today's bowl Juezi soup, if Ying'er was five years old, she might be able to be coaxed by the madam to drink it. Unfortunately, Ying'er is now fifteen. Madam, please don't try to fool me. What happened today, Ying'er Just treat it as a joke between Madam and Ying'er, and I won't take it seriously."
"Madam is weak. Instead of teasing the younger generation here, it would be better to rest in peace and recuperate. Maybe the illness will be cured and you won't have so many worries."
"The eldest lady is still waiting outside, so Ying'er won't disturb Madam's recovery here. I wish Madam peace of mind in recuperating and a speedy recovery."
On the opposite side, Meng was scorning and suppressing her like a veteran. Liu Yingying smiled slightly throughout the whole process, without a trace of anger or excitement on her face. Even when Meng held up the Juezi soup, there was no fluctuation on her face.
She was as calm as a tolerant elder, facing the patient Meng with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up slowly to say goodbye, always with a smile on his face.
Before leaving, Liu Yingying glanced towards the screen.
As soon as Liu Yingying left, Meng's face turned dark.
Although Meng had been restrained and had a gentle and virtuous attitude as an elder, she still couldn't help but punched with a smile. Unexpectedly, the punch seemed to hit cotton. It was empty, and I was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
At this moment, she finally had to admit that she was on the verge of death, and she was so lightly hit by a teenage girl that she was unable to fight back.
Over the years, the master's backyard has been full of skilled people, but she just asked which one was her opponent, and the whole backyard became a mess. After ten years of marriage to the master, the entire fifth house was also noisy. But only a Yu'er crawled out of her belly.
Unexpectedly, today I met my opponent.
It's a pity that she can no longer compete with him on the battlefield.
The last bit of strength in the body was drained away. At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed from behind the screen, bringing with it a gust of wind——
"I have told Miss Liu everything according to the master's instructions."
Meng saw Shen Rong with a straight face, holding on to the last bit of strength, smiling slightly and speaking with a weak look on his face.
But he saw Shen Rong squinting his eyes and staring at this weak figure with disgust on his face and coldly scolded: "Vicious woman!"
"I want you to negotiate and make peace, but you dare to spoil my good deeds!"
Shen Rong stared at Meng with an expressionless face, his eyes no longer showing any warmth.
That day, after being persuaded by the old lady and thinking about the relationship between husband and wife, Shen Rong finally stepped into this medicine jar yard before he died.
Meng was very skinny and already in her late stages, and her time was running out. She took the initiative to mention that Liu Yatou, saying that she wanted to make arrangements for her future affairs before she died.
He thought she was truly repentant.
Although the old lady had promised him that her wish would be fulfilled later, she could not marry again immediately after Meng left, and that Liu girl was too conspicuous in the Shen family, and she was not very talented when she came to the Shen family. In a few days, the four-bedroom Xiaoliu was obsessed with Siliu, not to mention the other ones that were drooling over him. As soon as Meng mentioned it, he immediately became distracted.
If the matter is settled before Meng leaves, it will be both legitimate and certain.
He thought that she would take care of the overall situation for Yu'er.
But I don’t want to——
A hint of coldness flashed in Shen Rong's always lazy eyes, and he didn't bother to look at Meng again, and said: "I leave my words here today, no matter how you interfere with it, then Liu Yatou, I They are already married, you'd better pray that she won't get angry and hate your precious son because of this. You can't die without rolling your eyes, but your son still has a long life."
Shen Rong sneered and walked away without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Meng's face suddenly turned pale, and she immediately struggled to get up, calling to Shen Rong's back: "Master——"
He almost fell over from the wheelchair, but saw that Shen Rong didn't stop, as if he hadn't seen him, he walked straight out of the door without mercy.
As soon as Shen Rong left, Meng suddenly coughed violently. Chun Mian hurriedly stroked Meng's back and said, "Madam, you... why are you doing this?"
But she saw Meng Shi put away the frail and pale look on her face for a moment, only smiled twistedly, and said: "Hate lasts longer than love. Even after death, Master, I must let you remember me forever. Me! Even if you hate me!"
Meng smiled and poured the bowl of soup into her mouth one by one. While drinking, she smiled twistedly and wildly.
