Meng Sheng and Shang Bo Yu have been in love for three years and married for three years. They were inseparable, and he loved her dearly, treating her with warmth and gentleness.
Until one da...
Both of them were stunned.
Cui Xueheng fainted?
Pei Sui asked sullenly, "What did Doctor Zhao say?"
The servant repeated Dr. Zhao's diagnosis.
After hearing this, he and Meng Sheng fell silent.
When coming to the greenhouse, Meng Sheng told Pei Sui about Cui Xueheng's plan to pretend to be sick and scam her.
Now Cui Xueheng suddenly fainted, and it was hard to tell whether this was real or she was pretending again.
"I'll go take a look." Pei Sui said to her, "Besides this courtyard, there's another one next door with nice views too. I'll have a servant take you there..."
Meng Sheng shook his head and interrupted him, saying, "I'll go with you."
Even if it's just to save face, I have to go.
After all, she came to visit today as Pei Sui's girlfriend. As Cui Xueheng is her current "future mother-in-law", she should go and take a look.
What's more, Cui Xueheng's fainting now is more or less related to her.
Then you should go and see it.
Pei Sui knew what she meant, so he didn't refuse and took her to the fifth courtyard.
The main courtyard of the five-courtyard complex faces south and has the three characters "Qingheyuan" engraved in official script above the door. There are quiet corridors on both sides, and lifelike plum blossoms hang on each pillar.
There are two weeping crabapple trees planted in the courtyard that look to be quite old.
The flowers in early May are at the end of their season.
Perhaps because the sudden rain had just stopped, the crabapple trees in the courtyard still had a rouge-covered dew-covered look, like a beauty just after a bath, her crimson silk trembling slightly.
The wind after the rain carried moisture and swept across the branches. The crabapple petals, wrapped in crystal water beads, floated down and dotted the quiet stone path.
The courtyard is elegant and the whole yard is graceful.
Meng Shenggang stopped for two breaths, taking in this beautiful scene that was full of mystery in a small space into his calm eyes.
Du Ping, who had just come out of the main hall, was a little surprised to see the two of them. After calming down, she took a few steps forward and nodded to greet them.
Pei Sui just nodded in response without saying anything, and took Meng Sheng's hand and went straight to the room where Cui Xueheng lived.
"What are you even doing here?!"
As soon as he stepped into the house, Meng Sheng received several angry and disgusted looks.
And a sharp rebuke.
Pei Sui heard this and looked coldly at Cui Yuanshan who was speaking. "Why? Do I need to report to you where my girlfriend is going?"
This is a blatant defense of Meng Sheng.
Cui Yuanshan was shocked by Pei Sui's eyes, and then opened her eyes wide in surprise.
With a look of grievance and resentment, he asked, "Cousin...you are mean to me? You are mean to me for her? Did she drug you? Why are you..."
"Shanshan!"
Cui Zhengqing scolded him in a deep voice, "You have no right to talk here! Shut up!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Pei Sui with a stern expression, "A Sui, your uncle is going to say a few words to you about what happened today.
You know your mother is in poor health, and as a son, you shouldn't defend her, but you're actually helping an outsider to make her angry. What sin has she committed to deserve such bullying?
Pei Sui looked at him coldly.
Because he and Cui Xueheng have always disliked each other, to be honest, he has no close relationship with anyone in the Cui family.
It's hard to even see each other throughout the year.
To put it even more outrageously, my uncles, aunts, cousins, etc., they don’t even have a WeChat account or phone number.
He was unwilling to give them any face at all.
With a cold sneer, he mercilessly tore off Cui Xueheng's disguise, "Not in good health? I think she's in very good health, otherwise why would she think of faking illness to scam others?"
Pretending to be sick?
Scam?
As soon as these two extremely insulting words came out, everyone in the room couldn't help but ignore his sarcastic and contemptuous tone.
Cui Xueying immediately stood up and demanded angrily, "A Sui! How could you say that about your mother?! Even if she disliked Meng Sheng, she wouldn't use such dirty tricks to frame her!"
Pei Sui raised his eyelids slightly and asked a logical question, "Then I have to ask her, how could she come up with such a dirty trick to frame my girlfriend.
She went back to the fifth hospital after dinner. Normally, she would have taken medicine and taken a nap at this time. Why did she go back to the fourth hospital for no reason?
Even if I go back to grandma's place, I shouldn't stay in Zhuluting.
The path from the Fifth Courtyard to Grandma's Mustard Seed Garden doesn't pass through Zhuluting. Besides, why isn't Aunt Du with her today? "Can you give me a reasonable explanation for this?"
Cui Zhengqing met his cold gaze and his throat choked.
Cui Xueying didn't seem to be short of breath at all, "Your mother is not a criminal. She can go wherever she wants in the Pei family. Who said she can't go to Zhu Luting's yard at this time?
Ah Sui, you are really willing to say anything shameful just for this vixen!"
As she spoke, she glared at Meng Sheng again, "Well, I finally opened my eyes today. No wonder my sister looked down on you so much.
Meng Sheng, you claim to come from a family of scholars, yet you have such a vicious mind, actually resorting to such unscrupulous means to sow discord between mother and son. Is this the upbringing of your Meng family?!
Now people are also mad at you and Ah Sui is on your side. Are you happy?! Oh, if you don’t give us an explanation today, our Cui family will never let you go! "
Meng Sheng did not lose his composure because of their condemnation, abuse and slander.
She said indifferently, "You're joking. I'm not happy at all after being pointed at and scolded again and again today."
"Speaking of explaining, that's even more ridiculous. Is it my fault that I saw through Madam Cui's plan to frame me, and that I didn't let her succeed? Is this the way your Cui family works? I've really learned a lot."
"You... you're so sharp-tongued, you're distorting right and wrong, and you're making up stories!"
Cui Xueying pointed at her with a trembling finger, "You keep saying that my sister is trying to frame you, why don't you show me the evidence!"
Meng Sheng will not fall into the trap of self-proof that is disadvantageous to himself.
She simply glanced at her calmly and naturally, then asked, "Oh? Then do you have evidence to support your claim that I was trying to sow discord between mother and son, and that I had angered Madam Cui to the point of fainting?"
"How could there not be?! We are all witnesses! We saw with our own eyes that you made my aunt faint from anger."
Cui Yuanshan couldn't wait to agree, looking very proud. "Auntie also explained that she was dizzy, had chest tightness, and was out of breath, and you helped her up. You also admitted it yourself. It's not like Auntie was faking illness to frame you!"
Meng Sheng looked at Cui Yuanshan who was about to jump up.
I almost died of laughter in my heart.
This is such a cutie who can build a bridge and send pillows.
She pretended to be helpless and sighed, "Miss Cui, I know you are resentful of me because Mrs. Cui asked you to apologize to me, but how can you confuse right and wrong?
You also said that Madam Cui was dizzy and short of breath before, and I helped her up to prevent her from fainting. Then she fainted because of this, and you spread rumors that I made her faint. Isn't that a bit too much?"
“Wh…what?!”
Cui Yuanshan looked like she had seen a ghost, but she was able to turn the tables on him.
