Chapter 210 Mother and Daughter
Everything was harmonious in the Zhao family. The Third Prince didn't get what he wanted, so he was so angry that he threw cups and plates around the house.
In particular, they sent people to look for Meng Yunxiang, but they didn't even see the maidservant around Meng Yunxiang. They said that she was taken out of the city by the second master of the family overnight.
Yang Xiaofei hugged the frightened Qiao Ge'er and tried to comfort him, feeling heartbroken.
"Your Highness, don't worry. She is a girl and she will return home one day."
Yang Xiaofei grew up in Beijing. Ever since she did something stupid and got caught, the Yang family sent an old nanny to watch over her and not allow her to cause trouble again.
There was a fierce fight going on in the court, but she didn't know much about it. She heard the news from the third prince.
Naturally, he had no idea what was going on in the court, nor did he know why it had become like this. He thought he was being wronged.
After Yang Xiaofei comforted Qiao'er, she immediately wrote a letter back to the Yang family, asking her father to help her husband.
However, the letter fell into oblivion and was only passed through her mother's hands once before being thrown into the brazier and burned to ashes.
Yang Gushan was still restless even while eating his meal when he heard someone reporting something. Seeing his wife's actions, he became even more dissatisfied with his little daughter.
"I should have left Yi'er in Beijing."
Madam Yang shook her head: "Fei'er is still not smart enough. If she goes to the border without anyone to supervise her, I'm afraid she will cause even greater trouble."
Yang Gushan shook his head and continued to eat in silence. They just pretended not to have seen the letter and continued to do what they were supposed to do.
After everyone had left, the third daughter of the Yang family asked in confusion, "Why did mother burn the letter from my second sister?"
Madam Yang didn't speak directly, but squatted down and said seriously: "Yan'er, parents don't like useless children. Don't learn from your second sister, do you understand?"
Young Yang Xiaoyan nodded silently and was taken to school.

Li Shumin was the eldest lady of the Duke of Li's mansion. She found out about such a big thing as a missing girl in the family only in the afternoon.
"Second Master said that if Madam is worried, she should take this to the palace and ask the Empress."
The person who spoke was the servant beside Meng Yanjiang, and in his hand was the letter that Zhao Fangyu and others had read yesterday to interrogate Meng Yunxiang.
Li Shumin was hesitant, but after taking the letter and reading its contents, his heart started beating like a drum, and he quickly handed over a sign requesting to see Concubine Dan.
The next day, Li Shumin saw Meng Yanzhen playing with Ni'er in Yanyun Palace.
Meng Yanzhen asked Li Shumin to see Jian Ni'er, and then asked someone to take him away and asked about the business.
Li Shumin hurriedly dictated the contents of the letter.
The things in the letter were not suitable for showing to others, so Li Shumin threw it into the incense burner and burned it immediately after reading it.
Meng Yanzhen didn't get angry at all after hearing this. He just took a string of fine turquoise and white jade bracelets and fiddled with them one by one.
She is now becoming more and more beautiful, like a peony in full bloom.
Li Shumin felt that the daughter in front of her had changed a lot, to the point that she almost didn't recognize her. But since she was her daughter, she would not make a mistake no matter how much she changed.
She must have suffered a lot without knowing it...
"Mother, don't worry too much. He will take care of the things that the second child took away."
In Meng Yanzhen's opinion, Li Shumin's personality was a little too soft.
Such a big thing, he actually had to go to the palace to ask her how to deal with Meng Yunxiang...
It really is... I don't know how to start.
Meng Yanzhen looked at his mother carefully and found that Li Shumin had aged greatly in the years when she was away from home.
"How is Xun'er studying?"
Li Shumin couldn't help but lower his head: "Of course everything is fine."
A soft sigh came into his ears, and Li Shumin felt even more uncomfortable.
"If it's really good, why would mother bow her head?"
Without even looking, Meng Yanzhen could guess that Brother Xun must be very spoiled at home.
"Mother, things are different now. If you really want to do good for Xun, then send him back to his maternal grandfather's house and let him be taught by his maternal grandfather."
Meng Yanzhen was in the palace and knew more information. Like Zhao Fangyu, she smelled something unusual.
If the world is peaceful, a person with no ability but only a title can live a very good life, but if the world is in chaos... such a person will probably die the fastest.
"If Brother Xun doesn't stand up for himself, is he waiting for Brother No. 2 to do it for him?"
"When Yan Jiang gets married and starts a family, who can Xun Ge'er rely on? Me? Or Ni'er?"
Li Shumin hesitated: "Your maternal grandparents' home is far away and the schoolwork is heavy. I'm afraid Brother Xun is not used to it."
Meng Yanzhen looked at Li Shumin who kept his eyes down and refused to look at her, and suddenly she felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart that she could not escape.
"A loving mother often spoils her son. If mother wants to kill Xun Ge'er, then just let him live his whole life in ignorance."
Meng Yangjiang can endure hardship, so why can’t Xun Ge’er?
Xun Ge'er is the grandson of the head of the Li family. If he goes to Longxi, he will be a hundred times more comfortable than Meng Yangjiang...
Even so, Li Shumin was still unwilling to send him back to Longxi...
"It's not that the teacher in the capital is bad, it's that my mother loves him and doesn't want him to suffer. Today, my mother is still alive and there are people protecting him. When my mother passes away in the future, I will have no one to rely on. Who can protect him?"
"If you can't keep your wealth and are bewitched by others, you may be worse than a beggar in your later years!"
With a crisp "pa!" sound, Li Shumin slapped Meng Yanzhen in the face!
Meng Yanzhen stroked his face, looked at Li Shumin in shock, whose anger had not yet been suppressed, and suddenly laughed.
She smiled beautifully, with two lines of clear tears falling quickly from the corners of her eyes.
"I can't even listen to a few words... From now on, mother doesn't need to write to me anymore. I will just think of myself as a lonely person without a mother or brother."
Meng Yan really felt that his efforts seemed like a huge joke.
Does mother think that as long as she is in the palace, Meng Yangjiang will serve Xun Ge'er for the rest of his life?
With such pampering and spoiling, even a good seedling will be wasted...
If she had known this...she might as well have married back to Longxi while the Duke of Li's Mansion was still in its sunset rather than planning for her brother in the capital.
It was all in vain... She would be trapped in this palace for the rest of her life, and such a huge price could not bring about the rise of the Duke of Li's Mansion. She could only watch them cling to her and suck her blood out of her...
Li Shumin didn't expect that she would actually do this. She looked at Meng Yanzhen, who was smiling with tears in his eyes, in surprise and guilt.
"That's your brother, he will always help you!"
"From now on, everything in the Duke of Li's Mansion has nothing to do with me."
Meng Yanzhen slowly wiped away her tears, her face as cold as frost.
In the palace, all her hopes were on the emperor. She didn't need a mother or a brother. She just needed to live well and live with her son.
Meng Yanzhen, who entered the palace to seduce the emperor in order to bring shame to the Duke of Li's Mansion, is dead.
She can only live for herself now.
Li Shumin was sent away, and Meng Yanzhen held Qiaoer and slowly walked towards Fengyi Palace.
