Qingzhu and the guards chased out of the mansion. The servants in the mansion were talking about it, wondering what the wet nurse had done wrong.
Lu Wu looked at Xi He: "Young Madam..."
Xihe frowned slightly and said, "Let's take a look at the situation first."
They waited until midnight. When Qingzhu came back, his face was bruised and his sleeve was half cut off. He carried the half-dead wet nurse directly to the study.
An old woman along the way saw this and fainted from fright.
It is said that the wet nurse's blood was dripping all the way.
Xihe went to bed early and only got the news the next morning. Meng Yuchuan happened to come over for breakfast, so she asked casually.
"Nothing, just a spy."
Clang.
The spoon in her hand suddenly fell into the bowl.
Xihe looked at Meng Yuchuan in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Meng Yuchuan drank a sip of milk and said, "It's true that Lin is dead. The one last night was a spy."
It turned out that the real wet nurse had died about a month ago, and was replaced by a spy sent from Beppu. He sneaked into the study, stole things, and was about to escape. Fortunately, Qingzhu discovered him and chased him out.
Xihe stared blankly at Meng Yuchuan. She had never expected the truth to be like this. She had always thought...
Seeing that she was unable to recover for a long time, Meng Yuchuan kindly explained, "It seems that her actions in recent days were all intended to conceal her identity and divert everyone's attention so that she could carry out her goals."
The spy used the identity of a wet nurse to run around in the mansion, blurring everyone's vision and making them mistakenly believe that she was ignorant of the world and had delusions about the prince, hoping to get him to be his concubine or something.
But in fact, the spy's purpose was to sneak into the study and steal things.
Of course, it’s no wonder that the people in the Marquis’ Mansion didn’t discover her identity until she got the things and tried to escape.
Firstly, there were indeed absurd cases in the capital where people had such ideas and successfully climbed into the master's bed. Secondly, the wet nurse was personally selected by the old lady for the young master. Even if someone disliked the wet nurse's behavior, they would not be stupid enough to offend them. Thirdly, didn't you see that the young lady didn't get angry? She is still the mistress of the house.
Xihe: “…”
She hadn't thought of that at all.
She has been to so many dimensions and met many different kinds of people. She is more open-minded than the people in the capital.
The wet nurse dared to challenge the rules and regulations of feudal society. Apart from praising her as a warrior, she threw the matter to Meng Yuchuan to see how he would solve it. She really didn't think of her as a spy.
"Did you recover the items? And... did you find out who the spy was?"
I poked the dog and asked it to check quickly.
Meng Yuchuan glanced at the maid, and Lu Wu hurriedly took the maid downstairs and closed the door.
"Losing a fake map is nothing to be afraid of."
"According to Qingzhu's investigation, the person who contacted the spy was a servant of Prince Yu's Mansion."
"who?"
Xihe was shocked.
Meng Yuchuan gave her a strange look and said, "Prince Yu's Mansion."
Xihe's heart was instantly overwhelmed with emotions. Prince Yu's Mansion? Isn't that the hero's home?
The plot of this story unfolds more than ten years later, when the hero has become the regent with immense power. The heroine returns to life and begins to "pamper" him all the way. With the hero's wise and covert help, she begins to fight back and slap him in the face.
But if she remembered correctly, the male protagonist was only ten years old now and still a carefree teenager?
Unfortunately, this is a cool story about the heroine's rebirth, and there is little mention of how the hero became the regent. Only a few words are recorded, which basically means that his father lost in the fight for the throne and was sent by the emperor to guard the imperial mausoleum. The status of Prince Yu's Mansion plummeted, and the hero was forced to grow up.
No, there's one more.
That was near the end of the story, when the hero was facing off against the rebels.
Rebellion, that is, Meng Huaiyu decided to let the hero go under the tearful attack of the heroine, but when he put away his sword and turned around, he was pierced through the heart by the hero's sword.
The heroine was horrified.
The male protagonist's expression was extremely cold. He glared at Meng Huaiyu's corpse and said, "Lord Meng caused my father to die of depression. My sister's marriage was also broken off by her husband's family, and she can only spend her life in a temple. The son has to pay for the father's debt. Today, I will use you as a sacrifice to comfort my father's spirit in heaven!"
Xihe shuddered and came back to his senses, realizing that the foreshadowing had already been laid today.
Prince Yu's Mansion sent spies to the Marquis' Mansion to steal the map, but Meng Yuchuan retaliated fiercely, causing Prince Yu to lose his qualification to compete for the throne and be sent to guard the imperial mausoleum.
The feud between the two families has long been irreconcilable.
"I had been planning to tell my wife about this later, but since the study was robbed, His Majesty will summon me to the palace this afternoon at the latest." Meng Yuchuan frowned. "I don't know what His Majesty will do, but just in case, if His Majesty sends me out of the capital, I'll have to trouble you to look after the palace."
Xihe looked at him, his thoughts racing, and he had a vague premonition.
"Grandmother is old, Huaiyu is still young, and although mother is in charge of the entire mansion, her health is not good."
Meng Yuchuan had already put down his bowl and chopsticks and took her hand on the table. "I know my wife is just afraid of trouble, not stupid and vicious as outsiders say. Now the mansion is surrounded by tigers and wolves, and the mansion is full of the elderly, weak and sick. Husband and wife are one. Please, for your husband's sake, help me defend the mansion."
"If there is really no other way."
He held her hand tightly and tightly, and made up his mind: "At this critical moment, please save Huaiyu's life!"
Xihe: ???
She shook his hand off, her eyes shocked: "Are you crazy?"
He gave up his own mother and grandmother just to protect the life of a little kid!
Although Xihe had long guessed that Meng Huaiyu's identity was unusual, after all, this man was hers (she was not sure before, but gradually became certain later), she still knew whether he had done anything to let her down, but why was it so?
Xihe couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "What is Meng Huaiyu's identity?"
Meng Yuchuan was startled, then smiled: "So my wife already knew it."
He could sense that she did have feelings for him, but every time he tried to take the next step, he was always rejected. He guessed that she might be a little uncomfortable with Huai Yu's presence, and was thinking about how to tell her.
Unexpectedly, she was smart enough to guess it.
Meng Yuchuan suddenly felt happy. He put his arm around her and pulled her into his arms. "My wife has deceived me so much."
Xihe was speechless. Who was deceiving whom?
Besides, we are talking about serious matters, why are you touching me?
Push him hard: "Let go, things haven't been explained yet."
Meng Yuchuan didn't let go, rubbing her delicate face, whispering a few words in her ear, and then said: "Huai Yu's identity is very complicated. The fewer people who know about it, the better. Madam, please don't tell anyone else, including your father-in-law."
Xi He couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: "My father is only a seventh-rank official. Even if he knew, he wouldn't dare to tell anyone."
Seeing her teasing, Meng Yuchuan pinched her chubby cheek and said helplessly, "My wife knows what I mean."
Xihe nodded, which was considered as agreement.
However, when talking about leaving Beijing, Xihe suddenly remembered his ending in the original plot and felt a little worried.
Seeing that she cared about him, Meng Yuchuan softened all over and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, my lady. I still want to give Huaiyu a younger brother. I will definitely return safely."
Xihe:!!!
Gave him a slap.
"Shame on you!"
