Regarding the olive branches offered by these two families, Sheng Guoer knew that it was precisely because of his relationship with Lu Banshu and Lord Chang in the court that these two families coveted him.
If you agree to any one of them, you will offend the other one. In this way, you will be at a disadvantage.
Sheng Guoer suddenly remembered a TV series she had watched, which was about how Emperor Kangxi reconciled Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu. She remembered that the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang made a suggestion to Emperor Kangxi: Party strife has existed in all dynasties. As an emperor, As long as the party disputes are controlled to the extent that they will not lead to chaos, and you let them compete with each other for favor, you can mess around and play both sides, and you will definitely be invincible.
Inspired by this passage, Sheng Guoer thought that the situation at this moment was similar to what Kangxi encountered in the TV series. Why not pretend to be confused, play both sides, and let them use it for her?
After Sheng Guoer made the plan, she breathed a long sigh of relief. All the joints in the past few days had been figured out.
Sheng Guoer thought: "I hope Wang and other relatives can grasp their own bottom line."
Over there, Mrs. Wang was grateful for Sheng Guoer's care and advice for her, so she visited relatives from door to door in the past few days, conveying Sheng Guoer's thoughts to her relatives and friends intentionally or unintentionally in the form of daily chat. them.
"It's not easy. We can't let others take advantage of it. If we give it to others, all the small favors we are greedy for will be gone in a blink of an eye!"
Mrs. Wang told every relative and friend the story of Sheng Guoer eating fish, and everyone naturally understood the meaning of Mrs. Wang and Sheng Guoer, especially Ma Chunhua, who felt that she had added something to Sheng Guoer. Because he was in trouble, he went to Meng's Mansion anxiously to test Sheng Guoer's intentions on the pretext of visiting Sheng Guoer.
Sheng Guoer pretended to be confused and welcomed Ma Chunhua in. After the two of them exchanged friendly greetings for a while, Ma Chunhua explained her purpose.
After Sheng Guoer heard that it was Ma Chunhua who told Lu Wanqing about her worries about her child, instead of blaming Ma Chunhua, she smiled and said, "Chunhua, you are overthinking, aren't you doing it for me too? Besides, the Lu family My daughter is kind to you, and you know how to be grateful. I am proud of you, which proves that my sisters are good sisters who value love and justice and will not be blinded by small favors!"
His words not only flattered him but also dispelled Ma Chunhua's doubts.
Ma Chunhua breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Guo'er, I thought you would blame me!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and shook her head and said: "How could it be possible? You, Xu Yunchan, Xu Shuxin, and Du Fuling are all people who help me. How could I blame you for a trivial matter? But for the eldest lady of the Lu family, you You must be careful, we still don’t know the details of this person, so don’t believe what she says!”
Ma Chunhua knew that Sheng Guoer was hitting her, so she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have already finished helping her."
At this moment, the maid Xiaoxing ran in anxiously.
Seeing the sweat on Xiao Xing's forehead, Sheng Guoer said doubtfully, "Xiao Xing, what happened?"
Xiaoxing's voice changed anxiously: "The Third Young Madam suddenly suffered from abdominal cramps and is now unconscious!"
"What!" Sheng Guoer stood up and Ma Chunhua also looked surprised.
Sheng Guoer shouted: "Prepare the car, prepare the car quickly!"
Then, Sheng Guoer walked out quickly, followed closely by Ma Chunhua: "Guoer, I'll go with you!"
Over there, Meng Heyou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Chen and Xu Cuiyu were also anxiously waiting for news about Mr. Li.
Mr. Li frowned and said, "What did the young lady eat?"
Meng Heyou hurriedly brought the food for Wang today to Li Langzhong with a trembling hand.
These are some nourishing pills that Meng Heyou got from Pei Minglun today.
Li Langzhong said with a serious face: "Mr. Meng, this medicine contains an abortion pill!"
What!
When Meng Heyou heard this, it was like thunder in his ears, and said: "How, how is it possible? This is a nourishing pill for my sister-in-law!"
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she said, "What, what does it have to do with your sister-in-law?"
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Meng Heyou told the truth.
Xu Cuiyu went up and gave Meng Heyou a slap in the face and said: "They are all greedy for petty gains. My daughter-in-law warned me not to be greedy for small favors before, but now, I have suffered a loss and harmed my daughter-in-law!"
Meng Heyou said aggrievedly: "But my sister-in-law also made us greedy!"
Xu Cuiyu said angrily: "Nonsense, I'm obviously letting you play and not take advantage. If you are greedy and blame the fruit, I will beat you to death!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Cuiyu looked around and saw the feather duster, so she picked it up and pretended to hit it.
Mrs. Chen hurriedly stopped Xu Cuiyu and said anxiously: "Sister, even if you beat him to death, it won't help. You should find a way to save the child!"
At this moment, Sheng Guoer rushed over.
"What's wrong? Why are my siblings in danger?" Sheng Guoer asked anxiously as soon as he entered the room.
Before anyone else could speak, Meng Heyou shouted angrily: "It's you. If it weren't for you, would Pei Minglun do such a thing to frame me? You are the culprit. Why are you trying to show off? Why don't you just be your young lady? My wife If there is anything wrong with your son, I will never end it with you!"
"Snapped!"
A loud slap hit Meng Heyou's face. Five finger prints instantly appeared on Meng Heyou's face, one of which still had traces of a ring.
Xu Cuiyu said angrily: "I have done something wrong and you come to blame your sister-in-law. I will beat you to death for being an unfilial son!"
Sheng Guoer hurriedly stopped Xu Cuiyu and said, "Second mother, don't be like this. I understand my brother's mood. Anyone else would go crazy."
Then Sheng Guoer asked: "Mr. Li, how is the situation now?"
Li Langzhong said: "The third young lady is in a very dangerous situation now. There is fetal poison in her body. Unless she gets lotus pods and boiled eggs together."
Both Chen and Xu Cuiyu's expressions darkened and they said, "There are no lotus pods in this season. It's still early for summer!"
Xu Cuiyu asked anxiously: "Is there any other way?"
Li Langzhong shook his head and said: "I think the person who poisoned it correctly calculated that there are no lotus pods now, so he poisoned it in response to this situation. The fetal poison that induces labor can only be detoxified by this method, otherwise the lives of the fetus and the pregnant woman will be in danger." !”
Sheng Guoer asked: "How many days can it last?"
Li Langzhong said: "Three days at most. If we can't find this thing within three days, the third young lady and her child will be gone!"
Xu Cuiyu fainted after hearing this. Mrs. Chen and other maids hurriedly supported Xu Cuiyu. Sheng Guoer said: "Send Er Niang back to nurse her back to health quickly. I am here!"
Li Langzhong sighed, packed up his things and stood up and said: "Boss Sheng, you are kind to us. I will never lie to you. If you feel that I am not good at medical skills, you can also go to see Doctor Tie!"
Sheng Guoer said: "Mr. Li, how could I not believe you? I will find a way!"
Li Langzhong said: "I will prescribe some heat-clearing and detoxifying prescriptions to temporarily suppress her toxicity, but Boss Sheng, you have to hurry up and find the detoxifying lotus pods!"
Sheng Guoer nodded and said, "Don't worry!"
After sending Li Langzhong off, Sheng Guoer said to Ma Chunhua: "Chunhua, notify all your subordinates immediately and go all out to find the lotus!"
Just when Ma Chunhua nodded to go out, Sheng Guoer suddenly said: "Wait! Go find Gouzi or Tieniu and see if they have set off. If not, tell them to find the lotus pods at Yuqin Villa! If they have already set off, quickly send someone to chase them and ask them to pick the lotus pods first and send them back. Send someone to pick the lotus pods first and be sure to come back within two days!"
Ma Chunhua nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll go now!"
After Ma Chunhua left, Sheng Guoer looked at the unconscious Wang with worry, with mixed feelings in her heart. Meng Heyou next to him didn't know what to do. All his anger was poured into Pei Minglun. He picked up the undressing knife and Walked out the door.
Meng Heyou angrily rushed to the door with a knife. He happened to be bumped into by the book boy Yanzhi who came back to help Meng Xingzhou get books. Seeing Meng Heyou's face ashen, Yanzhi felt something was wrong and asked: "Third Young Master, what are you doing? Is this what it is?”
Meng Heyou pushed Yanzhi away and said, "Get out of here!"
Yan Zhi was pushed. When he saw Meng Heyou rushing out the door angrily, he felt worried and hurried into the house, shouting: "It's not good, the third master is going to kill someone!"
Yan Zhi's shout alerted the people in the yard, and Sheng Guoer ran out and asked, "What's going on?"
Yan Zhi panted and pointed at the door and said, "The third master has a knife and is going to kill someone!"
Sheng Guoer thought to herself: "It's bad, I must have gone to settle the score with Pei Minglun!" Sheng Guoer said hurriedly: "Yanzhi, hurry up and ride horses with your servants to chase the third master. Remember, no one is allowed to dismount! Prevent him from doing so. Seize the horse and run away! Xiaoxing, go inform the master!"
Xiaoxing and Yanzhi were ordered to leave.
Sheng Guoer thought to herself that if someone died, the Meng family would definitely have a grudge with the Pei family. She didn't know it yet, but she had made an enemy. If Lu Wanqing cooperated with the Pei family again, it would be bad!
At this moment, Meng Zhengtang walked out with a serious look on his face. When he saw Sheng Guoer, he asked, "Guoer, what's going on?"
Sheng Guoer cupped her hands and said, "Dad, it's too late to say anything. Now I have to deal with Pei Minglun for the sake of my younger siblings. If I delay any longer, I will cause a big disaster!"
Meng Zhengtang waved his hand and said, "Hurry and leave!"
Pei Minglun left the address before, and Meng Zhengtang and Sheng Guoer hurriedly drove there.
A man with two legs would definitely not be able to outrun a horse with four legs. All the servants rode their horses to surround Meng Heyou.
Yanzhi said: "Third Young Master, I and the First Young Madam want you to go back!"
Meng Heyou said: "Whoever stops me, I will kill!"
Yanzhi said while controlling the horse: "Master, please calm down. If someone is killed, do you want the third young lady's child to be fatherless as soon as he is born?"
Meng Heyou paused when he heard these words. Although he was furious at the moment, the anger in his heart calmed down slightly when he heard about the child and Wang.
Just when he hesitated, a shout came from behind him!
