Chapter 1041 Ying Dong's Worries

Of course, Ying Dong didn't believe this claim. How could they not know what kind of person Meng Pei was after spending so many years with him?

Moreover, Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng are usually very loving, which is nothing like what that Lord Gong from the capital said, that they were forced.

But with the passing of Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng, no one can know the truth about these things anymore.

However, since then, those of them who were acquainted with Meng Yunzheng have never seen him again.

Meng Yunzheng didn't want to comment on the Gong family, so he replied with his usual explanation, "I'm fine. I was just poisoned earlier and became mute. Last year, I heard that a skilled doctor had come to Jiangyuan County, so I came here to seek treatment. But it turned out to be false information. However, Jiangyuan County is quite nice, so I stayed here temporarily and slowly inquired about the whereabouts of the highly skilled doctor. Later, I went to the southwest for treatment and have now fully recovered."

Ying Dong had heard about this, and he also knew that Zhao Xi was a doctor, but he had also been foolish before.

But what he didn't know was...

"Poisoned?" Ying Dong frowned. "How could he be poisoned?"

"The Shen family mansion is a complex place."

Ying Dong understood; power struggles within the inner quarters of wealthy families were always frequent, and he himself had experienced them firsthand.

The brother and sister had been sold off four years ago. Before coming to the Lu family, they had been sold to work for a wealthy household. They were sold off again because their masters were engaged in a power struggle, and they became the victims.

Those who were resold were considered lucky; some people lost their lives.

Now it seems that even if A-Yun were taken back by his father, who is a high-ranking official, he would probably still have a difficult life.

"So what are your plans next? Are you really going to marry... the Second Miss?"

Wouldn't that drag the second young lady into that kind of struggle as well?

Although Ying Dong had only been with the Lu family for a little over a month, he genuinely liked the atmosphere there. The family members cared for and supported each other, and there were no messy disputes.

It is not only lighter and more economical than the Shen family mansion, but also more harmonious and warmer than his previous home.

After their mother remarried into the Ying family, bringing her and her siblings with her, the Ying family had many trivial matters to deal with. Their stepfather already had children, and the elders and relatives of the Ying family always treated them as outsiders, constantly on guard and giving them a warning from time to time, so their lives were not easy.

But the Lu family was different; everyone worked together towards a common goal. The old lady was sensible, the master and mistress worked hard to earn money, and the young master and young mistress cared for each other.

The second young lady, in particular, is the backbone of the Lu family. With her around, the Lu family members seem to have nothing to fear.

But if Ah Yun were to marry the Second Miss and bring her into the Gong family's inner quarters, which sound like a place where people can be eaten alive, would the Lu family still be the same as it is now?

No, not just the second young lady, but also Ying Xi who was by her side.

Thinking of this, Ying Dong frowned even more deeply.

Meng Yunzheng understood the meaning behind his words, couldn't help but smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything before that happens and won't let Ayu suffer any injustice."

Hearing him say that, Ying Dong felt a little relieved.

He guessed that A-Yun would probably separate from the Gong family and start her own household, which would mean fewer worries.

Oh right, he remembered that he was a very good student when he was young. He should have passed the imperial examination by now, so that he could be appointed as an official and temporarily leave the palace.
