This was also one of the main reasons why Meng Shisan chose to go to Lingnan to seek a future for Meng Renji.

The status of the Thirteen Tokens in Lingnan is unfathomable.

In the southern barbarians, anyone who sees the thirteen tokens must surrender unconditionally. This is the first clan rule in the genealogy of the three major families in Lingnan.

All clan members, including clan leaders, must abide by it.

Anyone who violates the rules, even if he is a clan leader, will be forced to abdicate in favor of someone worthy by convening a clan meeting as soon as possible.

However, as time goes by, countless years have passed. Although Meng Shisan had planned to hand over the Thirteen Tokens to his brother from the beginning, because she later re-entered the world, she never visited Lingnan again. , and I feel that the token may not still be effective today.

After all, people's hearts are ever-changing, and the descendants of those who were able to listen to her may not be willing to act based on a token.

Therefore, she was really worried about her brother going to Lingnan, but it was not like her grandmother had scolded her and she had no trump card. Of course, grandma didn't completely believe that she would be unprepared. It was just one thing to guess, and another to admit it or not.

She couldn't admit the Thirteen Tokens, and she couldn't explain it even if she did.

Since it couldn't be explained, I simply didn't say anything and let my grandmother speculate.

After leaving Senwanyuan, Meng Shisan returned to Taichenyuan and began to make preparations for the lotus banquet at Prince Jing's Mansion tomorrow.

For this reason, she also asked Baozhu to go to Wanfei Courtyard to invite Meng Meili to Taichen Courtyard for a few words.

"No need to shout, I'm here!" As soon as Meng Meili entered Taichen Courtyard, she bumped into Baozhu, "Sister, do you know that I have received the exact information from my uncle?"

Baozhu shook his head: "No, the young lady asked the servant to invite the second young lady. She wants to talk to the second young lady about tomorrow's flower viewing party."

Meng Meili secretly thought that it was strange that neither she nor the eldest sister had participated in Princess Yanhua's Four Seasons Flower Appreciation Banquet for the first time. What could they say?

Ji Xiang reminded: "Miss, is it possible that the eldest lady is afraid that you will fight with other noble ladies at the banquet like the last time at the Peach Blossom Banquet?"

When Meng Meijing heard this, she glared at Ji Xiang at first, and then thought it was very possible. She couldn't help thinking that when she saw her eldest sister later, she would make sure to promise that she would be obedient and not fight at the lotus banquet tomorrow.

So when she entered Mingxiao Hall, she said first: "Don't worry, sister! When we get to Prince Jing's Mansion tomorrow, I will listen to sister. If sister says go east, I will never go west. Wherever sister points, I will call you." where!"

"Okay, tomorrow you stay with me. You are not allowed to leave without permission. You must be within my sight at all times." Meng Shisan glanced at the orb first, and then followed the trend.

"Yes!" Meng Meiliang sat in the lower left seat next to Meng Shisan, "Sister, I heard about it!"

"Whose last name is it?" Meng Shisan asked.

"It's a man named Lin Dong." Meng Meili recalled what Wu Pinbai said and organized her words before saying, "My uncle said that Lin Dong has already confessed. He said that he wanted to kill after seeing the money, and he knew that Shopkeeper Liu He was the shopkeeper of Kunzheng Pavilion. He had some spare money in his hand, so he thought of holding shopkeeper Liu hostage and asking him to use his savings to redeem shopkeeper Liu's life. But it turned out that shopkeeper Liu was also a money-loving person. He pretended to agree but then changed his mind. Lin Dong became angry and the knife in his hand lost its accuracy. He originally wanted to scare Shopkeeper Liu so that he could get some money. Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Liu struggled to resist and wiped his neck on the blade without paying attention. .With this touch, Shopkeeper Liu is gone."

As soon as Meng Shisan heard this, he knew that this man named Lin Dong was just a scapegoat. “Sister?” After Meng Meijing finished speaking and saw that Meng Shisan was silent, she couldn’t help but call out.

Meng Shisan nodded: "I understand. So the case is closed now?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, we will get married today." Meng Meili asked again, "Is there anything else you want to know, sister?"

Of course there are.

However, it was no longer something that Meng Meili could find out from Wu Pinbai.

"Wu Tuiguan is a good uncle. You might as well go to Wu's house more often in the future." Meng Shisan thought of Wu Shaohao and added, "As for Mr. Wu, if you don't have any intention, don't get too close."

Meng Meijing was stunned for a moment. The eldest sister told her to walk more with her uncle, which she could understand. However, the eldest sister also said that if she didn't care about cousin Yu Hao, she shouldn't get too close. Then she would go to Wu's house in the future. Or don't go to Wu's House?

"Don't you understand?" Meng Shisan looked at Meng Meili, who was slightly startled, and explained carefully, "Although I have never formally met Mr. Wu, I have heard you mention Mr. Wu several times. He treats you well. It’s not just like the good relationship between cousins, maybe you can feel it?”

Meng Meili immediately recalled every move Wu Shaohao had made towards her in the past, and slowly shook her head: "Sister, although cousin Hao treated me well, it was just because I was his cousin. My aunt's natal family is not in the capital, and my uncle I am only a niece, and Cousin Hao is my only cousin in Beijing, so he treats me well. Sister A said that Cousin Hao treats me more than just a cousin. Could it be that Sister Hao is overthinking it? ?”

"Then do you want to find a chance to give it a try?" Meng Shisan did not refute, but asked instead.

Meng Meijing hesitated: "This..."

"Look, you don't feel anything strange at all." Meng Shisan immediately caught Meng Meili's hesitation and expressed the little bit of emotion that Meng Meili was aware of but didn't want to admit, "It's just that you don't feel it." It's possible, so I simply don't admit it at all."

Meng Meili didn't object anymore, slowly lowered her eyelashes and fell silent.

The eldest sister is right. It is impossible to say that she didn't notice anything strange at all. After all, she is not as stupid as the eldest lady of the Dong family.

Cousin Hao was kind to her. At first, she really thought it was his kindness to her cousin. Later, she always ran to Wu Zhai to ask her uncle's elder sister about the progress of the case of Shopkeeper Liu's death. Cousin Hao often saw her She would laugh, and even offered to ask her uncle for help. At that time, she felt that Cousin Hao treated her well, which was unusually good.

"The beautiful scenery, Wu's residence is indeed far inferior to our Meng's residence, but this does not mean that Mr. Wu is not worthy of you." Meng Shisan put aside his family background and commented objectively, and then returned to say, "But if it is based on In terms of family status, Mr. Wu is indeed not worthy of the second lady of Shangshu Mansion."

"Sister, Cousin Hao is going to take the imperial examination." Meng Meili unknowingly said something for Wu Shaohao.

Meng Shisan smiled lightly: "Yes, the current Mr. Wu is only fifteen years old, but he has already achieved the reputation of a scholar. Compared with the wealthy children with roots in the imperial city, Mr. Wu is very outstanding."

"Sister, I also think that Cousin Hao will definitely be able to go to high school in the future, right?" Meng Meili wanted to seek Meng Shisan's opinion on this.
