Chapter 176 Comforting Meng Yunlan
At midnight, in the quiet moment, the moonlight shines in front of the window, and the stars dot the black sky, flashing faint light.
Study, side room.
Meng Yunlan lay on the bed with his back facing pale. His long eyelashes trembled slightly. He slowly opened his eyes and stared at the bed curtain above his head in a daze for a while.
Suddenly, it was as if I suddenly remembered something.
Meng Yunlan's eyes widened slightly, and the emotion in his eyes was filled with panic. He gasped heavily a few times, and tried to stand up by half-supporting his body with his weak arms.
However, just as his upper body slightly left the bed, the man's frail body was suddenly lifted into the air. Before he could exclaim, a woman's sigh came from the side:
"Yunlan, why didn't you call me if you wanted to get up?"
Hearing the sound, Meng Yunlan looked up in panic and saw that the person holding him was Su Yuan. His eyes moistened and he put his white and thin arms around the woman's neck and cried in a hoarse voice:
"My dear wife, where is this?"
"Wow, I just had a nightmare that something happened to my mother and the others. My dear wife, that can't be true, right?"
Su Yuan hugged her insecure husband to her, then looked down at his haggard face, pursed her lips, and answered truthfully:
"What you heard is true. Half a month ago, the entire Meng family in Tongzhou was murdered, except for my mother-in-law who fell off a cliff and is missing."
"Alas..., this is my study room, and you fainted outside the door in the evening. I was afraid of alarming other people in the mansion, so I didn't send you back to Bingquanxuan."
Originally, she didn't ask Meng Yunqiao to tell Meng Yunlan because she wanted to find her mother-in-law and then tell them about the father and son, but now her husband has heard it, there is no need for her to follow his words and lie.
After all, facts are facts, and truth cannot be hidden. Meng Yunlan's heart is as clear as a mirror. Now he asks himself this question, but he is just holding on to a glimmer of hope.
Below.
Meng Yunlan got a positive answer, and tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably. Her chest heaved violently, and she cried heartbrokenly for a while.
He raised a sad and miserable face, looked at the woman above, bit his lips tightly with his teeth, and asked with unclear voice and sobbing:
"Well, my wife, have you sent anyone to look for my mother?"
Su Yuan lightly hummed, then walked to the table and sat down with the man in her arms.
She poured a cup of cold tea with one hand and brought it to her husband's lips. She lowered her eyes to look at his pale and chapped lips and said in a gentle voice:
"Here, drink some water."
"I have already sent out the search team. Even if the sky falls, my wife will still hold it up. As for you, just take good care of yourself and don't worry about this matter."
After that, she put down the empty cup, took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the man's slightly moist lips, and continued:
"As for the rest, I believe you heard it outside the study. After I find my mother-in-law, I will file a complaint with the emperor on behalf of the Meng family and redress their grievances. I will definitely not let the traitor succeed."
Meng Yunlan listened to the woman's words of comfort, especially when she heard that she was willing to take action to avenge the Meng family.
Suddenly my heart felt warm, and the tears that were about to stop flowed down my chin like a flood, dripping onto the lapel of my shirt on my chest.
Meng Yunlan slowly raised her fair and slender fingers and gently held the wrist of the woman who was wiping her tears.
He raised his chin slightly, and looked at the woman with his sparkling eyes filled with love and emotion. He gently opened his lips, which were as thin as a cicada's wing and had a moist luster, and whispered:
"Thank you, my wife. It is Yun Lan's great honor to marry a woman like you."
There are many heartless women in this world, and many of them will abandon their husbands when something happens in their father's family.
How much good must Meng Yunlan have done in his previous life to be able to meet a wife as loyal and righteous as Su Yuan in this life?
Thinking so.
Meng Yunlan's heart, which was aching from the loss of his family, felt like someone had sprinkled a layer of painkillers on it. He rubbed his cheek against the woman's neck and whispered:
"Wife, carry me to the bed."
After saying this, he thought of something and added:
"You should sleep with me too. You have to be on duty tomorrow. Don't let me ruin your health."
Su Yuan nodded slightly, picked up the person and walked towards the bed. On the way, he passed by a red candle and blew it out.
In an instant, the side room of the study was dark.
She took advantage of the moonlight to lift the quilt and put Meng Yunlan on the bed, then she lay down beside her husband and answered the man's words slowly:
"I have asked Lu Yanxin to ask for leave for me tomorrow. After all, I am only a sixth-rank official, so I don't have to attend court on weekdays. Besides, my husband vomited blood and fainted tonight. How can I go on duty with peace of mind?"
After saying that, she stretched out her arms, hugged the man and turned around, lying face to face with Meng Yunlan on the same pillow. Her fingers stroked the man's slender waist through the brocade, frowning and saying:
"You just recovered from your cough, but tonight you vomited a lot of blood because of anger. The doctor prescribed you some medicine to calm your nerves and reduce internal heat. You must also take the daily dietary supplements."
"I'm keeping this from your father-in-law. If he asks about it tomorrow, just tell him that you want medicine to help your child recover. Don't tell him until there's news from your mother-in-law, to avoid another one getting sick."
Meng Yunlan felt so soft in her heart that she replied "Okay" in a gentle voice.
Then he shrank into the woman's arms and slowly closed his eyes.
End of September.
The weather is getting cooler and the autumn wind is blowing.
The sycamore trees outside the Wanfo Temple were blown by the wind, and the withered yellow leaves gently fell, covering the earth with a gorgeous golden coat.
Su Yuan glanced at the crowded pilgrims at the door, then reached out a hand to take her husband's hand, pulled him towards her, and said in a clear and soft voice:
"Today is a holiday, and there are many pilgrims in Wanfo Temple. Remember to hold my hand tightly so as not to be separated."
Meng Yunlan nodded slightly, pressed her whole body against Su Yuan's warm body, and replied:
"I understand, my wife."
Su Yuan lowered his eyes and glanced at the man beside him, then he took a long sigh and pursed his lips and said:
"I have sent Su Qinger and the others out for a month, and now there is no guard who knows martial arts to accompany them."
"If you want to go somewhere later, you must not only take Banyan and Bai Cui with you, but also ask me to go with you. Do you understand?"
When it comes to guards, Su Yuan can't help but frown.
Ever since she received the secret letter from King Nanyou, she had sent Su Qinger and several other skilled guards, along with the killers from the Xueyou Palace, to search for Meng Mu's mother along the way.
But things did not go as planned. After searching for a month, Meng Mu herself was still not found.
but……
It's not that there is no good news at all. At least we know that Wu An's men have never stopped searching. In addition, people on their side have found a woman who looks like Meng Mu several times.
But that person was like a slippery loach, and his exact figure could not be found every time. He might have mistaken them for Wu An's accomplices!
