Chapter 90 Chapter 89

Meng Keshu has been in Mingzhou for three years, and she can see the changes that Wei Huai'en has made bit by bit after he came to power. Just like those medical girls who worship Wei Huai'en, she is also deeply grateful to Wei Huai'en.

Listening to the stories Meng Keshu told, although Wei Huai'en was relieved that the atmosphere was indeed slowly changing, he also keenly noticed something was wrong.

"Why is Ms. Meng always telling other people's stories? What about you? The first and only female teacher in the government school in three years. Haven't you ever been looked down upon or restrained?"

"I'm ashamed to say that for three years... Li Kong has been protecting me in secret. I also know that my status is embarrassing, and it's not suitable for me to stand out, so I haven't... suffered any grievances."

Meng Keshu felt a little guilty, but admitted the fact that she was blessed by Li Kong.

She was supposed to be in exile, she couldn't deny how much Li Kong had done for her behind the scenes, from this point alone, she owed him.

rentier.

Wei Huaien thought of this word in his mind.

Although Meng Keshu had room to display his talents, only a small part of this position came from Wei Huai'en's decree.Even without this decree, as long as Li Kong is willing, he can open a school for Meng Keshu alone.

That's not the case, the result that Wei Huai'en wants to get is not at all.

What she wants is that every woman can be like a man, qualified to study and fight for, instead of becoming a man's vassal in another way, it is not enough for a man to be an official and a noble, let the women around him be the icing on the cake foil.

Isn't that another form of "promoting"?
It's just that in the house, the lords who gave gold, silver and love to their wives and concubines, and better marriages and dowry to their daughters, have become unimportant errands for women, which makes the lords look good?
Listen to the stories Meng Keshu told again. A widowed wife won praise for Kai Meng, a neighborhood boy, and was accepted again by the clan.Another female doctor was in the traditional Chinese medicine clinic at home, and she was asked to marry by the county sheriff because of her reputation for rejuvenation...

And she herself, although the students all respect her, but she is just a teacher of piano art in the government school who does not involve the imperial examination.

In the end, who will get the real benefits, and who will just get a good reputation that doesn't hurt?

Wei Huai'en sighed, and Qu Zhi nodded his forehead, not knowing where to start.

No man will really think about the oppressed women, and even women themselves sometimes can't tell the difference between active dedication and forced sacrifice.

As long as this person is a man, as long as he realizes how much his identity can benefit in this male-dominated society, no matter how sober, how sympathetic, how much he thinks he can sympathize with women's pain, he will not be able to accept it. influences.

Who doesn't want to be a man?Who doesn't want to step on someone else's head forever?Who wouldn't envy such a person?

No one is wrong, but no one is born mean either.

Everyone will tend to the side that makes them profit, who can not think for themselves?Men are not fools, of course they can't help speaking for themselves, tending to the side of the same kind.

And he will find that the more he agrees with this system and reason that are unfair to women, the more he can benefit from it, and the more he can get along with men who are also rentiers.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Wei Huai'en never believed that his fate would be saved by his father, brother, or future husband.

She clearly knew that even she herself couldn't let go of the identity that allowed her to be above others naturally, and who could let go of everything she was born with?
She doesn't believe anyone, except Xiao Qi.

Because what she can give, she can take back at any time.

"Li Kong is indeed good to you, but do you know what else he has done besides helping you in the past three years in Mingzhou?"

Wei Huai'en didn't want Meng Keshu to be blinded because of Li Kong's kindness, she still hoped that every girl around her could really see clearly, even if they couldn't change their fate, at least they could walk their own path clearly.

"This... Minnv didn't live with him before, and even though she came to his house recently, she never asked about it."

Meng Keshu didn't know what Wei Huai'en wanted to ask, but when she thought about it carefully, she didn't know whether Wei Huai'en wanted to know about Li Kong's official business as Xuanyu Sijun, or what Li Kong was doing in private.

Whether it was to answer Wei Huai'en's question, or to help Li Kong cover up something that was not good for him, Meng Keshu found sadly that she could do nothing.

To live in the grievances between the two of them for so many years, and to be stabbed by Wei Huai'en like this, only then did he realize that what he thought was a vigorous mentality before was just a short-lived epiphyllum kept in a greenhouse.

"Why don't you find out and ask? You think you owe him, so just stay by his side and enjoy happiness?"

Wei Huai'en's words became more and more sharp, she didn't care whether the words were aggressive and Meng Keshu couldn't answer, she just wanted to wake up this silly girl.

"Do not……"

Meng Keshu subconsciously wanted to deny the word "enjoy happiness".

But she has to agree that she is indeed living a much better life than most people in Mingzhou City. If it is not a "blessing" to have guards secretly protecting each other every day and Sijun to take care of her, then she is not only Hypocritical, or stupid.

But isn't this kind of questioning and ignorance very similar to the years when her mother was trapped in the backyard, because she felt that she couldn't participate in her father's affairs in the officialdom, so she was even more disgusted by her father and brother?

Is she repeating her mother's mistakes?how could be?She's just, but her relationship with Li Kong hasn't reached that point yet, so she doesn't need to care what Li Kong is doing, it must be like this.

"...Your Highness, after all, a civilian girl is wearing a sinful body, and she doesn't know about Xuan Yu's affairs, so..."

"That's not a reason, Miss Meng."

Wei Huaien directly guessed what she wanted to say.

"You want to say that Li Kong's errand has nothing to do with you. You are not married, so you think you don't need to care about anything. In addition, you feel that your status is not upright, and Li Kong has done a lot for you. You don't even need to interfere with his affairs."

Meng Keshu twisted his cuffs and nodded.

it is as expected.Wei Huai'en raised his hand to call her over, taking advantage of Xiao Qi's absence, he took Meng Keshu's hand and explained the pros and cons to her one by one.

"Don't think that you owe anyone. Didn't you just know that the crimes on your body have nothing to do with you? Why do you feel that you don't have enough confidence when you come to Li Kong?

Since he wants to treat you well, why should he care about your identity?He knows what you are doing, why do you give him such useless trust?

Miss Meng, love is like glass, unreliable. "

Words that are too sharp are difficult for even gentle people to accept.

So Meng Keshu didn't have time to think about whether Wei Huai'en's words were true, so he instinctively wanted to defend himself.

"Why does Your Highness say that? Forgive me for taking the liberty, does His Highness treat Lord Xiao the same way? If you love him, why can't you trust him?"

When love is deep, who would think about all this?Meng Keshu didn't think it was a big deal that she didn't know about Li Kong's affairs, but when Wei Huaien said this, she began to panic and fear.

The tone is also a little eager, even like a question.

Wei Huaien patted the back of her hand and motioned her to relax.Meng Keshu knew she had lost her composure, so she quickly sat down and smiled apologetically at her.

Ordinary gossip is not meaningless, even if Meng Keshu thinks that Wei Huai'en's words are too selfish, he can just ignore them, because Wei Huai'en doesn't really want Meng Keshu to do anything, nor is she her blood relative.

But Meng Keshu's own mood swings almost reached the point of anger, which was enough to wake her up.

It was because Wei Huai'en talked about her pain that she was in such a mess.

"Ask Xiao Qi? To put it bluntly, all his power comes from me. As long as I want, I can take it back at any time.

It's like depositing money in the treasury of the mansion. What the people of the mansion want to buy and how to use it are all trivial details, and I don't care.As long as the master of this mansion is me and the account book is in my hands, I don't need to care about it at all.

Instead, it was Xiao Qi who wanted to guess what I wanted to do, what I wanted to get, and how to make me happy. "

Meng Keshu seemed to realize something:
"Isn't that what a man like Minnv's father thinks?"

How the wives and concubines fight in the Meng Mansion, her father doesn't care at all, he just concentrates on being the "Master Meng" who is selfless and righteous.

Even the elder brother once told her and mother that it would be okay for those aunts to make trouble again, and it would not affect his eldest son. He also advised his mother not to be full of resentment towards his father.

Yes, yes, as long as the mansion's surname is Meng, as long as the father and son sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, who really cares what lawsuits these women have?
Because they all want to please them in the end, so that they can exchange favor and partiality for gold, silver and status.

Just like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy, no matter how violent it is in the den, the owner will scramble to lick the owner's hand when he comes, trying his best to please and behave in order to exchange a few meat and bones. .

"It's not a man's idea, you are wrong, Miss Meng.

Whoever is the strong and who is the master is qualified to think like this. "

Wei Huai'en looked at Meng Keshu who was touched, as if he saw the self in those days who was struggling to understand the bloody truth through her.

But her point is not to do whatever she wants without asking for anything in return. If there are no like-minded people in this world, she will create it herself.Just like Xiao Qi, Shui Jing, Qiong'er, Le'er, etc., now, perhaps Meng Keshu can be added.

How can it be difficult to bewitch people's hearts? Wei Huai'en is a natural master at manipulating people's hearts. She is extremely confident that she has seen through everyone around her and the world, and firmly believes that although her path is difficult, she is destined to succeed.

Her way is the only right way, and she must sit on that supreme seat and realize all her dreams.

If she doesn't even believe it, if she can't even convince Meng Keshu, then what is she trying to do?It's better to be willing to be a puppet that gives Emperor Yonghe stability and excessive power to Wei Anxing.

"You are right, Your Highness, you are right."

Meng Keshu was moved by Wei Huai'en's words, and unknowingly took Wei Huai'en, a high-ranking person who had just gotten along with him not long ago, and he didn't even know him well, as a confidant. many.

But how can we repay Wei Huaien?The only thing Meng Keshu can think of related to Wei Huai'en is...

"I don't know if there is one thing that will be useful to His Highness. Li Kong once told Minnv that Minnv's family was ordered by today to send Li Kong to Nanlin Mansion to kill the Meng family."

"Is it the will of today?"

Wei Huai'en frowned.

She remembered that the Meng Mansion was pushed into the vortex by Emperor Yonghe because it had too many contacts with Yan Weiguang, and because of its private affairs, it became a sacrifice in honor of Wei Huaide. fate.

But since the whole family has already been sentenced to exile in the Nanlin Mansion, why do you want to kill them all, and even send Li Kong who has just entered the Xuan Yu Division?

It wasn't even Eunuch Le's hands, what exactly did Emperor Yonghe want to hide?
It's a pity that Meng Keshu only knew these things, and didn't know anything else.

Wei Huai'en sighed, always felt that he knew too little, and now he couldn't even see the chess game he was in very clearly, and he was already delusional, wanting to fight against the invisible hands of manipulators.

But so what.

She doesn't believe that the situation she has planned for many years can be easily overthrown by Emperor Yonghe.

"What are you talking about?"

Xiao Qi pushed the door in with a smile, and saw Wei Huai'en pulling Meng Keshu to chat.

Seeing him coming back, the corners of Wei Huai'en's mouth turned up naturally, and just about to answer, he suddenly remembered the asshole he committed before he left, and immediately lost face and stopped looking at him.

Meng Keshu had a panoramic view of this scene, and almost laughed out loud, but fortunately, after staying with Li Kong for a long time, he has cultivated well, so he consciously gave way to Xiao Qi.

"Your Highness is here with me. I have nothing to do with you at night. The doctor girl from the academy lives next door. I have already prepared a bedroom for you. After a day of running around, go and rest."

Xiao Qi sent Meng Keshu away with a few words, and sat directly at the end of Wei Huaien's bed and stretched his hands into her quilt.

The ankle without socks was caught by him suddenly, Wei Huai'en couldn't hold back his expression no matter how much he wanted to ignore him, he wanted to withdraw his foot while kicking him:

"Let go! Disciple!"

"Okay, okay, I'll let it go."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi was extremely obedient this time, and he let it go as soon as he said it.After he quickly withdrew his hand, he sat upright, and Wei Huai'en was so angry that he wanted to kick him to the ground.

"Go on, who told you to sit here? Miss Meng is here to stay well, why do you drive her away? Who wants to see you?"

"Your Highness, stop kicking. Do you really want this servant to sit on the ground with you? The servant's feet are not fully intact yet."

Xiao Qi sat firmly, but said it as if he was bullied by Wei Huai'en so badly, and finally let Wei Huai'en's depression of being won by him dissipate a lot.

 Hahahaha Xiao Qi is like that little dog who quietly squeezed away the people around the owner (I didn’t say Xiao Qi is bad, and I didn’t mean that the puppy was bad)
