Chapter 252 South City Guardian
After saying a few words, Meng Lian left. Yun Qiao urged him to tell his father to speed up the process of the transfer station.
Otherwise, once she gets angry, she might choose a place and build it herself.
Of course, Yunqiao is not impossible to do this.
She just thought that she had just arrived in South City and was not familiar with the place, while the Meng family was an old native of South City and the owner of this land.
Be polite before using force.
But as of now, Meng Lian doesn't look like a bad person, at least he is not the one who defected to the enemy that day.
As for General Meng who hasn't appeared yet...
Yun Qiao called Wang Xiaodong and asked some more questions.
"General Meng is over fifty years old this year. He married his new wife last year. It was only three years after General Meng's first wife passed away that General Meng married his young wife. I heard that of the Meng family's sons, except for Meng Lian, who has a disabled arm, the other three sons died on the battlefield."
It is said that the family is full of loyal heroes.
Yun Qiao had complicated thoughts about General Meng.
But just being able to let his son go to the battlefield to kill the enemy is already very good.
"Learn more. There's no need to tell the prince now."
Wang Xiaodong said that he was following her to do some work, but this person was Chen Jingyan's man.
Yun Qiao could guess what he was thinking without even thinking about it.
Wang Xiaodong stood there in surprise.
“Your Highness, you…”
Yun Qiao smiled. "I know what you're thinking. As long as it's not too extreme, I don't care. Everyone has to have their own little secrets, right?"
Wang Xiaodong's heart skipped a beat.
He immediately expressed his loyalty, "Please believe me, Your Highness. I never tell anyone about the princess."
Yun Qiao naturally believed what Wang Xiaodong said because he was telling the truth.
After Meng Lian returned, he went straight to find his father and told him what he had said to the princess and the news he had asked about, and he emphasized the seriousness of the situation.
"So, do you think Princess Huayang is really here to set up a trade transit station, or is she here to investigate our Meng family?"
Meng Lian shook his head, "I don't know about this..."
Meng Liang slammed the table and glared at her, cursing, "You are as stupid as a pig! You are already in front of the princess, and you still can't get any information out of her."
Meng Lian was scolded by his father again.
I was unhappy at the moment.
His father always scolded him, saying that he was not tall enough, not good-looking enough, not strong enough, and not smart enough.
The tall second son died.
The third son, who was handsome, died.
The fourth son, who was strong, died.
The sixth son, who was smart, also died.
Only the eldest son, who was inferior in every way, and the fifth son, who was almost thrown to the wolves because of his disabled arm, were left alive.
"I'm as dumb as a pig. Why don't you ask it yourself, father? You're smart and capable, so you should ask it yourself."
In the past, Meng Lian would never say this to Meng Liang even if he was angry, after all, he was his biological father. But now, his biological father is almost no longer his biological father, especially since he married this young girl.
Meng Liang was so angry that he couldn't breathe. He pointed at Meng Liang and shouted, "You unfilial son, you want to piss me off to death."
Meng Lian didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart, I hope you die soon.
Not only has he become more and more confused as he gets older, but he has also caused so much trouble for his family.
After saying that, Laozi Menglian went out.
Meng Liang was left standing there, patting his chest and calling his darling wife.
"Guerlain, Guerlain..."
The housekeeper outside the door came in hurriedly, handed a bottle of medicine to Meng Liang, poured out two pills and stuffed them into Meng Liang's mouth.
"Master, the lady went out shopping. She said she was going to Manchester. You don't have to wait for her today."
"Going to Manchester again, why do you always go to Man Country? It was fine before, but now with Princess Huayang as your idol, I've been keeping a low profile, but she still goes out."
After Meng Liang took the medicine, the person in charge helped him calm down, and he felt much better.
The old general's health was actually not that bad, but since he married a new wife, he had taken a lot of medicine for her.
The butler had advised him several times before, but the old general didn't listen, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
The old butler knew that the Meng family would definitely have a new leader in the future. He did not leave the old general because of the long-standing relationship between master and servant.
When Meng Lian returned home, his wife Wang saw that it was Meng Lian with an angry face.
"Didn't I go to talk to my father about something? Why are you so angry? I just want to tell you that someone said they saw your mother and a young man in Manchester, very intimate."
Meng Lian, who was already angry, became even more furious when he heard what his wife Wang said.
"What do you mean by calling me little mother? As long as she is not dead, you have to call her little mother."
"My father is so confused and annoying right now. There are some things I can't reason with him about. I say, since Princess Huayang is here to run a transit station, let her do it first. Maybe she'll leave after she's done."
Wang rolled her eyes.
"Do you think you and your son are the only smart ones in Nancheng? Princess Huayang has no one to investigate? I'm not at all restless. I'm running to Manchester at this critical moment. Isn't this Qing waiting for Princess Huayang to catch our Meng family?"
"I'm telling you, your father and your mother are doing something that can't be covered up. You can either pretend you don't know, or tell the princess right away. We're not on the same team as your father, and I don't want my child to be implicated by your father."
What Wang was worried about was that her entire family would be implicated by her father-in-law.
She had already told her husband Meng Lian.
"I'm putting this down. If you don't tell me, I'll go. What your father did is bound to bring disaster to us in the future."
Mrs. Wang thought that she had not done anything bad in her life, and she often chanted scriptures, recited Buddhist scriptures, and ate vegetarian meals, but she did not want to be killed by her father-in-law.
It would be fine if she died, but her child is still young and hasn't lived enough.
Meng Lian advised: "After all, he is my father. Don't worry about this matter. Let's wait a few days."
When Yun Qiao stayed in Nancheng, except for the first two days of rest, she went out for a walk almost every day in the following days.
The development of Nancheng is indeed stronger than that of Mobei.
As for Manchester, which was only a two-hour drive from South City, Yun Qiao had Wang Xiaodong obtain a document. She planned to take some time to visit Manchester. Naturally, she couldn't use the identity of Princess Huayang, so she had to find another identity...
Two days later, General Meng Liang specially held a banquet at his home and invited Yun Qiao to attend.
The old general looked down on Princess Yun Qiao and always acted like an old general.
They said that he was an old man who had followed the late emperor, and that the late emperor valued him very much when he was alive. That meant that the late emperor gave me face, and you, a little princess, dared to act so arrogantly in front of me?
"Old General, I think you misunderstood me. I want a piece of land to build a trade transit station. As for the rest, I don't care."
"Besides, the late emperor has been dead for many years. The current emperor is Emperor Showa. If you keep thinking about the late emperor, I'm afraid it will make Emperor Showa unhappy."
"I've said everything I need to say now. As for how to proceed, it's all up to you, General."
Meng Liang is indeed not a bad person, but he must have made some deal with the Manchu country, otherwise Nancheng would not have such a good relationship with Manchester City. Moreover, according to Chen Jingyan, the development of Nancheng is actually not much better than that of Mobei.
After all, Nancheng is close to Manchuria. If the enemy from Manchuria keeps harassing Nancheng, it will be difficult for Nancheng to develop, and even the people around it will find it difficult to survive.
"Little princess, you are still too young."
"As for the transfer station you mentioned, just do it if you want to, and leave as soon as you're done."
"Mobei and I each manage our own fiefdoms and don't interfere with each other. I really don't understand why King Mobei asked you to come to Nancheng."
Yun Qiao felt unhappy when she heard his tone.
"Is the old general afraid of the King of Mobei?"
"Or have you done something wrong? Mobei and the Manchu Kingdom have no dealings with each other, and Nancheng also belongs to the Great Zhou, but it is so close to the Manchu Kingdom. Or, is there anything in Nancheng that the Manchu Kingdom dare not fight? As far as I know, I'm afraid not."
Yun Qiao didn't say the rest, after all, there was no evidence.
Meng Liang didn't say what he was thinking, so Yun Qiao couldn't use this as evidence.
At least now Yun Qiao knows that Meng Liang is not that clean.
But the people in the South City at least live better than those in Mobei.
This also shows that he has some ability to manage South City.
Meng Liang ordered Yun Qiao to use a piece of land as a trade transit station, and she began to prepare to build the site.
This matter was handed over to Wang Xiaodong to arrange, and the people he found were all local people in Nancheng.
This is why Yun Qiao had to wait until Meng Liang spoke.
If he said he agreed, it meant that he allowed it.
If she builds a venue here later, it will be smooth sailing to find local people from South City to do the work, and she won't have to worry about not being able to find people.
The transfer station Yunqiao wanted was actually a warehouse, and it could be built quickly if everything went smoothly.
Yun Qiao originally promised Chen Jingyan that she would stay in Nancheng for a month.
It should be all done in a month.
After handing the project over to Wang Xiaodong, Yun Qiao planned to go to Manchester to take a look. She put on makeup and dressed up specially, and she was accompanied by a bodyguard, so what was she afraid of?
After getting dressed up, Yun Qiao looked at the guard Wuying who was wearing ordinary clothes.
Wuying has always been lurking in the dark, so it's hard for him to get used to seeing him suddenly show up in broad daylight.
"Your Highness, this is not in accordance with the rules."
"What are the rules? Your prince is not here now, so I am the rule. I'm giving you a chance to be yourself, and you're still unwilling?"
"But it's not appropriate for us to pretend to be a couple."
"Then we're sister and brother, I'm the elder sister and you're the younger brother." It's just an identity anyway.
Wuying thought to himself: How can there be such a young sister? His Highness is obviously taking advantage of him.
Yunqiao teased Wuying happily.
Before, Chen Jingyan dressed up as Wuying. In fact, if you look closely, there is a big difference between the dressed up Wuying and the real Wuying.
Perhaps because he had not seen the sun for many years, or because he was wearing a mask, his skin was very fair, and in his beige clothes he looked even more elegant and handsome like a young man.
Wuying felt quite embarrassed being stared at by His Highness.
