Chapter 679 Touched, Meng Ninglang's Growth
Chapter 679 Touched, Meng Ninglang's Growth
Duke Meng sat in the main seat, and his face, which usually showed a kind expression, was now heavy.
"Grandfather..." Meng Ninglang called Duke Meng again. He sat next to Duke Meng with a worried look in his eyes.
Meng Shihao and Yi stood aside, also with some worry in their eyes. Alas... Father must be thinking of Wanzhou again.
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry." Duke Meng's eyes moved slightly, and when he opened his eyelids again and looked at everyone, his eyes returned to calm.
Before Yun Xiang divorced Ye, Yun Mujiu found out that Ye had been having an affair with Yun Xiang when Meng was in the mansion. Ye gave birth to Yun Shirou less than a year after entering the mansion. Yun Shirou was born in October and was not a premature baby at all as rumored.
In addition, before Meng was due to give birth, she heard some information that Ye had deliberately released - Ye had been with Yun Xiang for a long time. Rumor has it that Meng was stimulated by this, and then she had abdominal pain and dystocia, and passed away after giving birth to Yun Mujiu.
A few days ago, Yun Mujiu released all the information he found out. Only then did the Meng family know that Yun Xiang had been hooking up with Ye Shi. When Yun Xiang asked Meng Shi to marry him, he promised to only marry Meng Wanzhou for the rest of his life! Yun Xiang was a complete heartless man.
Meng was arrogant and proud. When she learned the truth about Yun Xiang's cheating, she must have seen through Yun Xiang and wanted to separate from him completely. Unfortunately, she died at the moment when Yun Mujiu was born. No one knows whether she could see her daughter's face clearly at the last moment of her life.
"Wanzhou... Wanzhou, my daughter." Duke Meng didn't want to recall the past anymore. He waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Wanzhou is so smart. She realized at the last moment that Yun Xiang was not a good man. With her personality, she will definitely not let herself down again."
Youyou sighed, "Fortunately, Mu Jiu came to fulfill her wish. It's time for Wanzhou to go home and be freed from the Yun Mansion."
If Mu Jiu had not done a series of things targeting the Yun Mansion, they would probably still be deceived by the Yun Mansion's scam: Wan Zhou should have wanted to leave the Yun Mansion in the end; Mu Jiu did not hate the Meng Mansion, but regarded the Meng Mansion as his home.
Meng Shihao's eyes reddened when he thought of the gentle and quiet sister in his memory.
"Father is right. If my sister is still alive, she will definitely be happy to return to the Meng Mansion. This is her home."
Yi and Meng Ninglang nodded, and Duke Meng picked up the carbon crutch and slowly stood up.
"Shihao, have you prepared the ancestral hall at home?"
"Father, I have already ordered people to renovate the ancestral hall. There is a place reserved for my sister in the hall."
"Yes." Duke Meng hunched over slightly, "Go to the ancestral hall for your father."
"Father (grandfather)." Meng Shihao and the other two looked at Duke Meng's expression and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"I'll go check and see if there's anything that needs to be wiped. Oh, and put some flowers that Wanzhou likes there." He turned his head and glanced at Meng Ninglang, "Also prepare the cakes that your grandmother and aunt like."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Now everything was ready, they just had to wait for Meng's tablet to return to the Meng Mansion.
Duke Meng was hunched over, leaning on a cane, and walking slowly towards the ancestral hall.
Meng Ninglang and the other two looked at Duke Meng's back. For some reason, they suddenly felt a sour feeling in their noses and their eyes trembled uncontrollably.
Duke Meng has always been strong-willed and strict with his son and grandson. The family tradition of the Meng family is also quite serious.
Meng Shihao and others could understand that Duke Meng was a man who had always been upright and could not tolerate any stubbornness or filthiness. When Meng insisted on being with someone who was not a good man, and when Meng severed her relationship with the Meng family, Duke Meng's pride did not allow him to have any expectations for such a daughter.
One can also understand the pitiful feelings of Duke Meng, an old military commander who had fought in the battlefields all his life, who was heartbroken by his daughter in his old age. I can empathize with the complicated feelings of this old man at this time.
After Duke Meng moved his family to southern Xinjiang, his wife He died of illness in southern Xinjiang. At that time, Meng did not even react to the death of his own biological mother He, and did not even write a letter of condolence.
Although Duke Meng seemed to be indifferent to Mrs. Meng, he actually secretly asked people in the capital to give some benefits to Prime Minister Yun so that Mrs. Meng would be treated well. After hearing that Mrs. Meng had passed away suddenly, Duke Meng gave more benefits to the Yun family, hoping that the Yun family could raise Yun Mujiu well. However, Yun Mujiu was corrupted by the people in the Yun family and was completely unwilling to have any contact with them.
Duke Meng is old and can no longer care about so many things, but he continues to secretly give benefits to the Yun family so that they can take good care of Yun Mujiu.
Fortunately, after Yun Mujiu grew up and became sensible, he took the initiative to contact the Meng family far away in the border area. Only then did the two resolve their misunderstandings and regain their lost family affection.
Meng Ninglang was born with a naughty temperament, but he has become more stable in recent years. After returning to Beijing and meeting Yun Mujiu, he has become more mature. Although he is younger than Yun Mujiu, he always has a sense of responsibility towards this poor cousin.
Although later facts proved that Yun Mujiu was far more mature and capable than him, he still wanted to care for and help his cousin who he had finally found.
Meng Ninglang looked at the hunched back of Duke Meng going away, and a tear suddenly fell from the corner of his eye. At this moment, he seemed to understand a lot, understood his grandfather's feelings, and became more aware of the importance of family affection.
At the same time, he wanted to grow up urgently and protect those he wanted to protect. He also wanted to protect or help Mu Jiu, the entire Meng Mansion, and the Ye Mansion where Mu Jiu was...
Meng Ninglang wiped his tears, turned around and followed the direction where Duke Meng left, leaving a word.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to help Grandpa clean up and see if there's anything else I can do to help."
Mr. and Mrs. Meng Shihao were stunned for a moment, then nodded excitedly.
"Okay, go ahead!" Their son is becoming more and more sensible!
Meng Ninglang accompanied Duke Meng for a long time, and tried every way to make Duke Meng feel better.
After the servants brought the medicine to Duke Meng, Meng Ninglang watched Duke Meng drink the medicine and said with a smile, "Grandfather, this medicine is not bitter! This is the prescription that Mu Jiu prepared specifically for you."
Yun Mujiu not only prescribed medicine for his grandfather, but also provided all the medicines. During this period of time, he could see with his own eyes that his grandfather's spirit seemed to be much better.
"Not bitter, not bitter." Duke Meng rarely showed a very faint smile, and said proudly and gratifiedly: "The medicine prescribed by Mu Jiu is naturally the best."
Not long after Duke Meng drank the medicine, he lay down on the bed and prepared for a nap.
After Meng Ninglang retreated, he immediately rushed to Prince Ye's Mansion and told Yun Mujiu everything that happened in the Meng Mansion at noon.
What was somewhat surprising was that when Meng Ninglang talked about these family matters to Yun Mujiu, Ye Wang put aside his official duties and stayed by Yun Mujiu's side to listen to Meng Ninglang.
Yun Mujiu could imagine her grandfather's expression in her mind, and her nose started to ache. Her grandfather's life was not easy, and when he was old, he had to face the tragic experience of his wife's death and his daughter's death.
"It will be fine! After I retrieve my mother's tablet, I will go back and visit my grandfather properly!"
"I'll go too." Ye Xiaohan added lightly.
Yun Mujiu was slightly startled, turned around and gave Ye Xiaohan a calm smile.
She will wait for Yun Xiang to leave the palace and return to Yun Mansion, then she will go to Yun Mansion to get something! And by the way, see if she can find any new clues about her life experience from her mother's yard!
