Chapter 150: Surprise, betrayal
"Sun Rulan is truly reckless enough to arrange for someone to catch him committing adultery."
"He's cuckolded, isn't he afraid of being looked down upon in official circles?"
"Maybe he likes this kind of excitement."
Meng Chifei was also a carefree person. After calming down from being angry, he found it very funny and actually started joking with Chen Jiu.
Seeing that their words were getting more and more outrageous,
Wen Yan interrupted them quickly and knocked each of them on the head: "What are you thinking about!
Before the incident was exposed, it was called a bargaining chip.
It's a joke if everyone knows about it.
As long as Sun Rulan still wants to stay in the officialdom, he will not let this matter be exposed."
"Then tell me, what is his purpose in making such a big fuss?" Chen Jiu's eyes were sinister.
After all, he was young and didn't know how far a person could go for fame, fortune and status.
actually,
Sun Rulan had done something similar in his previous life.
Meng's mother delayed her return to the capital because she had to take care of General Meng.
The wedding date has been delayed.
Sun Rulan was worried about changes in her marriage, so she tried her best to get close to Meng Chifei.
In her previous life, Meng Chifei knew that she would marry him sooner or later and was not opposed to traveling with him.
The two were seen by outsiders many times behaving intimately.
After the verbal engagement was over, Meng Chifei had no choice but to marry him.
"Let's change the angle." Wen Yan looked at Chen Jiu, "Your sister went out to visit a prostitute when her wedding was approaching, and was caught by her fiancé.
This fiancé not only helped to cover up the matter, but also stated in front of your family that he was in love with your sister and was willing to live a good life with her as long as she was willing.
At this time, would you feel guilty for wanting your sister to have a better life in her husband's family?
Do you want to make it up to him?"
The muscles on Chen Jiu's face twitched.
At this time, even if you don't believe in the sincerity of the "fiancé", you will agree to the marriage for the sake of your sister's reputation.
In order to make her sister live a good life, she will definitely compensate her "fiancé" crazily.
Let him know that as long as he is good to his sister, his family will give him countless benefits.
As the top military family in Dayong, although the Meng family could not make Sun Rulan a king or a prime minister, they could still pave the way for him to become a second or third rank official.
In his previous life, when he divorced Meng Chifei, he was already the inspector of the four southwestern routes, a fourth-rank official with great power and lucrative benefits.
If General Meng had lived another two years, entering the cabinet would have been a piece of cake.
This was also the main reason why General Meng divorced his wife and found another better wife after he fell.
"So, his target was never Sister Chi Fei, but General Meng."
Meng Chifei and Chen Jiu could no longer laugh.
Meng Chifei sneered: "No matter how good his plan is, how can he send me to the men's brothel? Could it be that they have some obedient water, and as long as I drink a sip, I will obediently let them do whatever they want?"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, followed by the waiter's inquiry: "Guest, there is a girl downstairs looking for you."
"Obedient Water" is here!
The three of them looked at each other.
Wen Yan said, "Please invite that girl up."
After a while, the door was pushed open from the outside.
I saw a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old walking in from outside.
"Hongying!" Meng Chifei looked shocked.
The person who came was none other than Aunt Ya's daughter Hongying.
I didn't expect that she would become Sun Rulan's person so quickly and become a collusion with him.
No!
Meng Chifei still couldn't believe that Nanny Ya would collude with a man outside to harm him just for the position of a concubine.
She wanted to confirm it in person: "Hongying, why are you here?"
"Miss, you're still blaming me. I've been chasing you for half a day, from the Thai palace to the Qujiang River, and then from the Qujiang River to this little inn. I'm so tired."
There was a fine layer of sweat on Hongying's forehead. She fanned herself with a silk handkerchief and walked straight past Meng Chifei into the room.
Chen Jiu had already hidden himself.
Hongying didn't ask any questions, poured a cup of tea and drank it all.
She raised her little finger and wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief.
Her charming demeanor was even more noble than that of a young lady from a wealthy family.
She seemed to have just discovered Wen Yan, "Oh, Miss Wen is here too!"
After saying that, she leaned sideways and nodded towards Wen Yan as a greeting.
Ever since she knew Wen Yan's true identity, Hongying has looked down on Wen Yan.
Now, Wen Yan married a poor scholar from the countryside and lost her only chance to change her fate by getting married.
Meng Chifei asked: "What do you want me to do?"
"It's still the eldest young master." Hongying rolled her eyes, a smile on her face. "Before the eldest young master went to Jinyang Prefecture to provide disaster relief, he knew he wouldn't be back for the Dragon Boat Festival, but he couldn't bear to see you spend the holiday alone, so he made special arrangements, saying he wanted to give you a surprise."
"Surprise? What surprise?"
"You'll know if you come with me." Hongying stepped forward and hugged Meng Chifei's arm, wanting to pull her away.
"Where are you taking me?" Meng Chifei refused to cooperate and stood still like a stake.
Hongying couldn't pull her away.
"Miss, you know how popular the seats at Xianle Pavilion are. Ordinary people can't even get a seat.
Only the eldest son would go to such great lengths to please you."
Hongying said this with a sour tone in her voice.
Originally, the man she liked was the eldest son.
She wanted to be the eldest son's concubine.
The eldest son will inherit the general's mansion in the future, and she will be another full-moon concubine.
Although she does not have the title of mistress, she is actually in charge of the general's mansion.
However, the general's wife kept a close eye on her, and the eldest son was not interested in women, so he raised her from the age of fourteen or fifteen to a nineteen-year-old girl.
Fortunately, Sun Lang likes me very much.
She promised that as long as she could become a maid and marry into the Sun family with the eldest daughter,
Sun Lang would take her as his concubine.
She could see that
Sun Lang likes himself very much.
I just touched him lightly with my finger while pouring tea.
He specifically asked me out to apologize.
The way he looked at me was as gentle as water the whole time, and he also gave me expensive gifts.
As long as she and he take good care of the eldest daughter after marriage, General Meng will definitely help him smooth out the connections in the officialdom and promote him.
Sun Lang's career was prosperous and he was promoted step by step.
As a concubine, her status will also rise with the times, and she may even be richer than the wife of an ordinary official.
However, the eldest lady ignored Sun Lang.
She saw it with her own eyes and felt anxious.
Of course, we must do our best to bring the two together.
"Xianle Pavilion?" Meng Chifei repeated the name, extremely disappointed with Hongying.
"Yes, Miss, it's getting late, let's go over there quickly."
Hongying pulled Meng Chifei away.
Wen Yan went forward and closed the door.
Chen Jiucai emerged from his hiding place.
Chen Jiu frowned: "Chi Fei must be very sad. She has always regarded Hongying as her sister."
Wen Yan looked at Chen Jiu calmly: "A short pain is worse than a long one. The rotten flesh should be removed as soon as possible."
Wen Yan is much more powerful than he imagined!
"I'll go follow Chi Fei first, and then come to pick you up after dark." Chen Jiu said, and left the inn quietly.
