Chapter 749 Ancient Robbery 32
Meng Liu changed her words: "We are friends. No matter how close we are, we can't stay together all day long..."
After all the talk, I still haven't given up.
Fu Wenting put the bowl heavily on the table with a stern face, slowly took the handkerchief handed to him by the servant, wiped his hands and threw it away.
"Where do you want to go after leaving Prince Duan's Mansion? Princess Mansion? Gu Mansion? Both of these mansions have been ransacked, so you can't go back."
Meng Liu continued, "I can go back to my parents' home."
Fu Wenting snorted coldly and looked at her: "I don't need to say whether your Meng family is clean or not. What's more, considering your status as the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, do you think your father dares to take you back to live with him?"
Of course Meng Liu also knew that with Meng Qian'an's personality, now that he had finally saved his life, he would definitely not want to be involved with her again.
But why are these words so annoying when they come from Fu Wenting's mouth?
"Then I can always live in the shop, right? That's all my dowry, it's nice to live alone."
"Your two shops are on the street and there's a lot of noise. How can you get a good rest?" Fu Wenting frowned subconsciously and retorted.
Meng Liu looked at him with a meaningful look: "You are not me, how do you know I can't do it?"
"As the saying goes, there is always trouble around a widow. Aren't you afraid that a man with ulterior motives might come to your house?"
Meng Liu asked with a half-smile, "Are there no men with ulterior motives if you stay in Prince Duan's mansion?"
Fu Wenting was choked by her and didn't know how to react. He just pretended to be angry and said, "Give up. Now everyone knows that you and I have a close relationship. If someone with bad intentions threatens me with you, it will delay my business."
Tsk tsk tsk, what a bunch of nonsense he speaks. If she hadn't lived so many lifetimes, she would have really believed Fu Wenting's lies.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, what he said is nonsense. It makes sense but not much.
That's too far-fetched.
The next morning, Li Shiyun and Meng Dingfeng came to Prince Duan's Mansion.
She originally thought that everyone in the Gu Mansion was dead and Meng Liu was dead. She even hid and cried for several times. Now she learned that Meng Liu was safe and sound and was rescued by the prince. She was surprised and terrified.
"You guys..." Li Shiyun's face was wrinkled with confusion, not knowing how to start.
Meng Dingfeng was much more casual: "It's enough that our family is fine. Kun Kun has been talking about his aunt these days."
Meng Liu smiled and said, "Why didn't you bring him along?"
Three years ago, Meng Dingfeng rejected the marriage arranged by his family and brought back a little boy from outside. It was unknown where he got involved in the affair.
He never mentioned the child's mother, and his family couldn't do anything about it. However, the fact that he had a illegitimate child before getting married made the daughters of good families unwilling to marry him.
He himself didn't mean that.
"He has caught a cold these days, so I've kept him at home. I'll bring him here next time." Li Shiyun held her daughter's hand tightly. "Fu... Is the prince treating you well?"
You see, as long as you live with Fu Wenting, everyone who knows you will misunderstand you.
How can friends stay together every day? Anyone would think it is wrong.
"If I say he and I are just friends, would you believe me?"
Li Shiyun and Meng Dingfeng were both silent, and finally it was the older brother who came out to smooth things over.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes. When Princess Duan passed away, I could tell that you two were good friends. Most people wouldn't dare to go to your house to mourn in that situation. Fortunately, you two are friends. Otherwise, with the crimes committed by the Gu family, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to escape."
Li Shiyun's ideas were not so trendy: "If we are just friends, it would be unreasonable for you to live in Prince Duan's mansion, right? And I heard from your father that someone in the court has submitted a petition asking the prince to choose a concubine."
Meng Liu raised an eyebrow: "Father never talked much about court affairs with mother, so why would he bring up the matter of the Crown Prince's selection of a concubine this time."
Meng Dingfeng curled his lips and said, "She is not my second sister. She is already 17 years old and is ready to get married. You also know that my father helped the late emperor do a lot of things in the past. He was lucky enough not to be punished by the emperor this time. With his personality, he will naturally try to work hard in other ways."
Sending your daughter to the prince is the best way to surrender.
If Meng Ruqiu is favored by then, maybe she can even persuade the Meng family, and the Meng family won't be so nervous.
Having said that, Meng Dingfeng originally couldn't understand why all the court officials related to the late emperor had met with accidents, but their Meng family was safe and sound. Now seeing his sister's condition, he understood.
This was definitely done by Emperor Ming and his son out of consideration for their sister's face.
The deep meaning behind this is also thought-provoking.
Under what circumstances would the emperor show leniency to people from other parties?
And this leniency was not only for Meng Liu, but for all the Meng family members related to her.
Thinking hard.
After thinking it over and over, the only person he could think of was the woman around the prince. She couldn't be the descendant of a criminal.
So Emperor Ming was trying to save face for Meng Liu.
They may have underestimated the importance of Meng Liu in Fu Wenting's heart.
Li Shiyun was worried about her daughter: "Why don't you go back home? I won't stop you from interacting with the prince. It's really..." She didn't want to say unpleasant words to her daughter.
Meng Liu patted her hands and said, "Mother, don't worry. Given my current situation, I'm afraid my father won't agree to let me return to the Meng Mansion."
Meng Dingfeng: "He won't. If it was before today, he might not accept you because of the Gu family, but now he knows that you have a close relationship with the prince, father will definitely not let go of such an opportunity."
Meng Qian'an clearly wanted to curry favor with Emperor Ming and his son. With such a ready-made opportunity before him, how could he not be tempted?
The emperor has not yet given his approval for the selection of a concubine, and Meng Ruqiu doesn't know how long she will have to wait for it to be finalized. This also involves whether the Meng family is eligible to participate in the selection, and whether Meng Ruqiu's beauty can catch the prince's eye. Even if she enters the Eastern Palace, no one can predict that she will be favored.
On the other hand, Meng Liu already has a deep friendship with the prince.
Meng Qian'an will definitely be able to understand this comparison.
Meng Liu shook his head: "I have something else to do in Prince Duan's Mansion."
Even though she had been arguing with Fu Wenting and wanted to leave, she was actually just looking for trouble on purpose and deep down she had no intention of leaving.
Because he is the male lead.
Although I haven't fallen in love with Fu Wenting yet, I have to stay for the mission.
Upon hearing her words, Li Shiyun and Meng Dingfeng were shocked.
"Don't let it get you down!" She grabbed her daughter's hand tightly, but she felt that her tone was too harsh, so she softened it a little and said, "I know you may have a prejudice against the prince, but we can't say much about the actions of the royal family. Gu...you should just live your life now, and don't even think about other things!"
