Chapter 155

It was hot in June, and it was drought for half a month, and it finally rained.

It was raining heavily outside, and Aji looked at the three children sleeping side by side, and felt peaceful.

Cancan wore the water-green pajamas made by her grandmother, with two little ducks embroidered on it. Because her grandmother told her that her mother let the duck go when she was a child, Cancan liked this one very much. She was tired of the clothes next to her after a few days, so she kept wearing them.

Brother Ping'er and Brother An were only wearing a belly button. Aji was afraid that they would get cold, so he covered them with a thin quilt.

Looking at the three children, Aju looked down at her belly.

I don’t know if the man or woman is born this time, and the mother-in-law…

Aji shook her head and laughed, thinking of her father-in-law's ecstatic appearance.

Regarding where Ning's family was raising a baby, Zhao Chen insisted on keeping her mother at her home, and moved there after giving birth to a child and taking confinement. Of course, Zhao Yunting hoped that his wife was by her side, but thinking about her wife being not young, she could see her grandchildren every day when she lived with her son, so she didn't insist.

If people don’t move away, the relationship must be settled early.

Ning was diagnosed with a pregnancy. In order to cover up his eyes, Zhao Yunting went out for a special trip. By chance, he was moved by an ugly and kind-hearted mountain girl, and even married the other party into the house in just three days. On the day of marriage, Zhao Yunting only invited his relatives to lively. Aji and Zhao Chen also took the child, but only the family knew that the mother-in-law was still staying in her marquis's house to enjoy leisure. Because of her ugliness, the marquis's wife never showed anyone, and she did not come to the palace to pay homage to the emperor after the wedding. Emperor Wen of Tang felt that the important ministers had met a good wife when they were old, so he especially gave up the congratulations from the new marquis' wife.

As for his own family, Zhao Chen's plan was to wait until Ning finished his confinement and let his "adopted mother" return to his hometown to retire. Ning returned to the Yanping Marquis' Mansion to live in the first half of a year before finding an excuse to move back. Zhao Yunting continued to run on both sides. Zhao Chen had thought about it, and his stepmother and the grandmother were in conflict...

When he thought of Zhao Chen's sneering when he said this, Aji felt that her husband was very stingy. If anyone offended him, he would remember it for the rest of his life.

Madam Jiang walked in with a light step, looked at the three children, and said with a smile: "Chen Shou is back."

Aji nodded.

It was still sunny when Zhao Chen entered the palace in the morning. It suddenly started to rain during lunch. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and he was afraid that it would not stop when it was dark, Aji sent Chen Shou to the palace to send Zhao Chen a straw raincoat so that he would not come back to get wet in the rain. In addition, he also gave Zhao Yunting and Lin Xian a copy just in case.

At the same time, a black-clad servant was replying: "Master, everything has been arranged there. Now the two of them are almost at the Marquis Wuying's Mansion."

The Prince of Qing leaned against the couch, closed his eyes and said lazily: "Where is the child?"

"I asked someone to lock the child in the courtyard where they were detained. They would go back to find the child after finishing their work. By then, our people would be gone without a trace. No matter how powerful the Zhao family is, they would not be able to find us."

The Prince of Qing nodded: "I did a good job, let all of us come back, no one of us needs to be watched anymore. Any news will be spread by ourselves soon."

"Yes!" The servant went out to pass the message immediately.

The Prince of Qing opened his eyes and slowly waved the fan in his hand.

When he sent someone to investigate Zhao Chen's affairs in Dengzhou, he actually had no hope. He learned that Lin had a childhood sweetheart before. Then his fiancé was snatched away by a girl who came out of nowhere, and then Zhao Chen came to propose marriage. He guessed that something must be strange. He grabbed the woman and threatened the child, and he would do anything to facilitate convenience.

It turned out that Lin once had a special liking for his fiancé and looked down on Zhao Chen at all, so Zhao Chen came up with this way to break up the mandarin ducks.

If Lin is greedy for the powerful and empathetic, it would be meaningless to find out this matter, but Lin is obviously a simple village girl. Today, she learned that her husband is actually a hypocritical wolf. The fiancé she loved deeply married someone because of Zhao Chen's framed him. How could she not be sad and hate Zhao Chen?

I hate it, I feel so angry that I feel like I have a fetal aura. If Lin is stubborn and has two lives, he will be even happier.

Outside the gate of Wuying Marquis’ Mansion.

The heavy rain was pouring, and a couple staggered over with umbrellas. When they were about to reach the door, they slowed down significantly. After hesitating a little, they walked over.

Hearing the knock on the door, the doorman raised his umbrella and opened the door. Seeing two wet guys standing outside, he looked like they were from the countryside and asked suspiciously: "Are you?"

Ru Niang cried in pain, Meng Zhongjing steadily supported his wife and explained nervously: "This manager, we, we are from Dengzhou, are Mrs. Zhao's fellow countrymen. Today, if you have urgent matters, you should see your wife. Please help me pass on it."

The concierge looked at the woman who was leaning against the man's arms and sobbing, frowned and asked him, "Do you have evidence to prove that you know our wife?" The wife is indeed from Dengzhou. He cannot drive people rashly, but he cannot go in and spread whatever the other party says.

Meng Zhongjing pursed his lips and looked at the doorman and said, "Mrs. Zhao's family is the second from the left on the last street in the northwest corner of the village. Persimmon trees are planted in the yard... We are really fellow villagers. My surname is Meng and my name is Zhongjing. When the manager replied, I told my name. Mrs. Zhao will definitely meet us."

His eyes were honest and firm, and the concierge hesitated for a moment, letting them wait, and he asked someone to report back.

The words first reached Lu Yun. Lu Yun came from Dengzhou with Aji, so of course she knew Meng Zhongjing. She didn't dare to make any decisions, and instinctively felt that her wife might make her unhappy when she saw Meng Zhongjing, so she planned to tell Madam Jiang first. As expected, Madam Jiang was talking to her wife in the inner room. Lu Yun quietly picked up a corner of the curtain and wanted to secretly call Madam Jiang out, but she didn't expect that Aji would see her first.

"Is there something wrong?" Aji asked in confusion.

Lu Yunqiang calmed down and said with a smile: "It's okay, I made a pair of shoes for the nanny. I want to ask the nanny to try it. Since the nanny is talking to the wife, the nanny will come out and try again later." He smiled at Madam Jiang, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait, what's going on? Tell me." Aju glanced at Madam Jiang and called him.

If she really tried her shoes, Lu Yun wouldn't have known that Madam Jiang was accompanying her and she would come over.

Lu Yun couldn't help looking at Madam Jiang.

Aji frowned.

Madam Jiang even scolded in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

When the lady asked Lu Yun, she looked at her first. Could it be that she wouldn't let Lu Yun say it? Nowadays, the lady is no longer the little girl who just married into the Zhao family and even the maid who even needed her to give me some advice. The lady respected her and still regarded her as an elder, but after all, she was just a nanny, and there was no reason why she was more majestic than her wife.

Lu Yun knew it was wrong, so he bit his lip and lowered his eyes and said, "Madam, the concierge said, Meng Zhongjing and his wife want to see you outside."

Aji's heartbeats a little.

She was a little doubtful about her ears.

She thought she would never hear that name again in her life.

It took a long time before she found her voice: "What are they doing?"

Lu Yun still lowered his head: "It seems that there is something urgent, saying that their clothes were almost wet, and Mrs. Meng kept crying."

Aji looked at the three children and calmly ordered: "Please invite the person to the side hall first, and I'll go there immediately."

"Madam..." Madam Jiang reminded her with concern, "Where is the Marquis?"

Aji shook her head, put on her shoes, and told Madam Jiang to stay here to take care of the children. She led Jinshu and Jinmo to walk towards the side hall together.

The wind and rain slant, Jin Mo held an umbrella for her, and Jin Shu supported her steadily.

The three of them entered the corridor without walking a few steps.

Tang Mu clogs stepped on the ground, making a slight sound.

The sound of rain and clogs, Aji looked at the heavy rain curtain, and the memories of Dengzhou flashed in his mind. What was far away was childhood, and what was more recent was Meng Zhongjing behind the door and said he would marry her soon. It was him standing in the rain and saying that he wanted to protect her, and it was him begging Ru Niang to marry him on the edge of the stick...

It hurt her so much that she hid in the quilt in the middle of the night and cried secretly. Now when she thinks about it, those days seemed like a dream, and there was no other emotion except for the faint melancholy in her heart.

It’s just that everyone knows each other. Since Meng Zhongjing is asking for help, there must be something urgent. If she can, she will help.

~

In the side hall, Meng Zhongjing was comforting his wife who was crying. When he heard the footsteps, he turned his head and looked.

He saw a young woman wearing a light green beard and turned around. He saw her looking up, her eyes facing each other. The rain outside seemed to have stopped, and there was no sound, as if she had suddenly returned to the past.

She stood pretty and called them to go home for dinner.

She fled to the kitchen in panic and refused to show it to him...

Too many memories were interrupted as she got closer and closer. Meng Zhongjing took a last look at the girl who was softer than that of the past, lowered her head, and whispered to his wife: "Ah... Mrs. Zhao is here, don't cry." She is the Marquis in the capital, and he can no longer call her nickname.

Ru Niang wanted to pounce on Aji with red eyes, but Jin Mo pushed her away. She wanted to come over, but Meng Zhongjing grabbed her.

Aji ignored Ru Niang and asked Meng Zhongjing directly after sitting down: "Why are you here in the capital?"

The man's face did not change much from his memory, but he seemed to have lost weight and his eyes were full of fatigue.

Meng Zhongjing looked at her and suddenly knelt down: "Aji, I have always owe you a word of sorry. I know you may not care anymore, but I still want to tell you. We are forced to do so this time, I..."

"Miss, please save me, please!"

Ru Niang cut off her husband crying and kowtowed to Aji three times in a row: "Grand girl, I really don't want to come. I want to bring those things into the coffin, but someone took my two-year-old son away. They forced me to say with the life of the child... Big girl, I'm sorry for you. Mr. Zhao couldn't marry me back then, so I ordered me to pretend to be an orphan. Inspiring Zhongjing, Zhongjing actually had you in his heart, but he was repeatedly provoked by Mr. Zhao in person. He felt ashamed of himself. He got drunk that night...

Mom, what I said is true. I was a thin horse sold to Dengzhou. Before I could take over the pass, Mr. Zhao redeem me for me and promised me that I would give me the contract of selling my body as long as I could make Zhongjing regret the marriage. Later, you left. I thought I could live a safe life, but those people forced me to tell the truth... Big girl, I got married to Zhongjing for six years and only got a son. I really can't see him die. Please beg me for mercy with Mr. Zhao for me. He knew that I would kill me..."

After the woman finished speaking, she lay on the ground and cried.

Jinshu and Jinmo looked at his wife worriedly.

Aji looked at Ru Niang blankly.

At first she didn't believe it, but later she heard Ru Niang say that she was that kind of person in front of Meng Zhongjing, and she couldn't help but believe it. Then the scene of Zhao Chen provoking Meng Zhongjing or asking Ru Niang to do things appeared in her mind. She had been a couple with Zhao Chen for so many years. She was familiar with all his joys, sorrows, and happiness, and even saw him all kinds of faces, gentlemen, sinister villains... so familiar that she could fully imagine Zhao Chen's expression when he did these things.

She thought she would be angry, but in fact she had to work hard to make herself laugh.

What did that guy do to marry her?

If Lian Runiang was arranged by him, would he have arranged the robbers that appeared in the village for the first time?

But these are all her and Zhao Chen's affairs.

"Who forced you to say these?" Aji asked the calm Meng Zhongjing.

Meng Zhongjing stared at her in disbelief: "A Ju, aren't you angry?"

Aji smiled, looked at Ru Niang, and asked him, "Will you divorce her because of this?"

Ru Niang shook her body and looked up at her husband. Although her husband promised after the incident that she would not blame her, she was afraid when she saw the eldest girl of the Lin family.

Meng Zhongjing was not silent for too long. He wiped his tears for Ru Niang and whispered: "No." It was because he was not good at it, Ru Niang was also a pitiful person, not to mention that she had been working hard and gave birth to a son for him after marrying him.

Like a mother's tears flowing like a spring.

Aji was in a complicated mood. Seeing her former fiancé's deep affection for the woman next to her, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she was relieved soon. Meng Zhongjing did not change at all. She was still the authentic farmer man, the kind of temperament she once liked. He was responsible, at least it means that she did not like the wrong person at that time.

"Who forced you, and where are your children?" Instead of seeing their deep love between husband and wife, Aju wants to know who Zhao Chen provoked.

Meng Zhongjing completely calmed down and lowered his head and said, "I don't know, we don't know anything. After we entered Beijing, we were locked in a yard. They said that we would see the child after we went back."

Upon hearing this, Aji immediately looked at Chen Shou who had been standing silently: "You send them back, bring a few more people, and find a way to find out the other party's origin. By the way, go to the account office to pay 100 taels of silver and arrange for their family of three to return to Dengzhou."

Chen Shou respectfully said that.

Ru Niang asked Aji in disbelief: "Girl, don't you blame me?"

Aji shook her head: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Please go home with peace of mind. I will plead for you on the side of the Marquis." In fact, she and Zhao Chen disturbed the peaceful life of Meng Zhongjing and his wife.

Ru Niang cried and kowtowed again to thank him.

Aji walked out straight away, ignoring the infatuated gaze that fell on her.

When they returned to the backyard, Cancan and Twins just woke up and were looking for her with Madam Jiang. When they saw her coming in, they called her mother in unison.

The three children all had the shadow of Zhao Chen. Aji hugged each of them. When she was holding Brother Ping, she kissed her son's eyes. She couldn't help but start thinking about how Zhao Chen should interrogate him after he came back.

She had always known that he was bad, but he had obviously done more bad things than she knew.hf();
