"No wonder … when I see Nie Xun, I always feel close …"
With his doubts cleared, Meng Heng felt much better. Only then did the late drowsiness come over him.
Gu Zhen did not tell Meng Heng that the second son of the first wife had been swapped, so when Meng Heng found that Nie Xun looked like Gu Zhen and saw the bright red cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, he did not think much of it. Instead, he sighed at how wonderful fate was. He felt that Nie Xun was amiable, and it was not an illusion.
Meng Heng and his wife whispered a few words to each other and fell asleep peacefully. Nie Xun and his wife, on the other hand, could not fall asleep.
Zhu Qingning was the daughter of Master Yuanjing. Naturally, she was not an ordinary woman.
She chatted with Meng Heng's wife for quite a while. It looked like they were just chatting about family matters, but in reality, she had managed to dig out the other party's background.
"First Uncle is a Zongzi of the Meng Clan after all. I really don't know what the Meng Clan is thinking. They actually gave him a wife like this." In terms of family background, this lady was a humiliation to Meng Heng. Zhu Qingning said, "Fortunately, Eldest Sister-in-law has a good temper. She has a good relationship with Eldest Uncle, which is a blessing in disguise. If Eldest Sister-in-law is a shrewish and vulgar woman, Eldest Uncle will feel wronged. "
Nie Xun's face darkened.
He had thought that Meng Heng was living a good life, but after getting to know him better, he realized that his life was even worse than that of a bastard from a branch family.
"Humph — the Meng's mix up the lineal and the concubine. It's obvious that they're not a particular family. It's not surprising that they've gone too far."
Nie Xun didn't intend to acknowledge this big brother, but seeing his own blood relative being bullied, he felt unhappy.
"What's your plan, Langjun?" Zhu Qingning asked Nie Xun, "I heard that First Uncle is very talented. If you two brothers …"
Nie Xun shook his head. "That's impossible. Our Lord is thirsty for talents and respects them, but have you seen what he thinks of Meng Heng? "
Zhu Qingning's heart tightened.
Indeed, Huang Song sent people to settle Meng Heng and his wife down and did nothing else.
Nie Xun explained, "Meng Heng wants to rely on Liu Xi. If my lord were to snatch him away halfway, it would be hard to explain to Liu Xi."
Meng Heng belonged to Jiang Pengji's camp. He had no reason to go to Huang Song's camp.
Zhu Qingning sighed. "If Eldest Uncle submitted to Prefecture Overseer Liu, then wouldn't you and him …"
Before the collapse of the Meng's, the alliance between Huang Song and Jiang Pengji was still reliable.
Once the Meng's fell, wouldn't the former allies immediately turn against each other?
If they had a falling out, wouldn't this pair of brothers be fighting each other?
Just thinking about it made him feel like he was being abused.
Nie Xun said calmly, "Furen need not worry about this. If we become enemies in the future, just do your best."
So what if they were blood relatives?
Meng Heng was no more than a stranger to Nie Xun, so why couldn't he do it?
At this point, Nie Xun's lips curled into a light smile as he bit her ear.
"If Madam is unable to bear it, why don't you think of Huaijie and Fengjin? Not only are they brothers, but they are also very close."
Since his brother did not hesitate, how could Nie Xun be soft-hearted?
With different standpoints, not to mention biological brothers, even biological fathers and sons could meet on the battlefield.
Zhu Qingning looked at her husband with a complicated expression.
Was he going to kill his own father and then kill his own brother?
Zhu Qingning nestled in Nie Xun's embrace and said softly, "No matter what, the child in my womb and I are on your side."
The couple whispered to each other warmly, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Nie Xun did not take the initiative to acknowledge them, but he did his best to take care of Meng Heng and his wife.
However, Nie Xun and his wife did not visit them personally. Instead, they sent a servant to deliver many tonics.
Without seeing them, Meng Heng naturally did not have the chance to tell Nie Xun that he looked like his mother.
Well …
Even if he saw them, he probably would not be able to say it.
It would be awkward to say that Nie Xun looked like his own mother.
Just as Nie Xun said, Huang Song coveted Meng Heng, but he did not try to rope him in. Instead, he treated him with good food and drinks, showing his best manners.
As the days passed, the war outside became more and more serious.
Hede County was located to the north of Haozhou.
It was bordered by Cangzhou, and there was a steep pass at the border called Cold Chang Pass.
Cold Chang Pass was one of the three natural strongholds in Cangzhou, and it was an important gateway for the outside world to enter Cangzhou. It was easy to defend and hard to attack.
"Madam, it's snowing heavily outside. Be careful not to fall …"
Meng Heng was bored to death at home, so he changed into his military uniform and went hunting in the mountains.
He stayed outside for a night and only returned at noon the next day.
As soon as he got home, Meng Heng saw his wife wrapped up tightly, standing at the porch and looking at the snow.
Hearing his voice, his wife beamed with joy. She lifted the hem of her robe and went forward to welcome him. She said, "Langjun, let me tell you a piece of good news. Magistrate Huang just sent a letter. Magistrate Liu's army is less than three days away from Hede County …"
Meng Heng supported his wife, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Cousin Xi is coming. That's really good news!" Meng Heng said with a smile, "I've prepared some wine today. Let's drink a few cups to celebrate."
The "Cousin Xi" that Meng Heng kept talking about was now riding on the back of a horse and eating a mouthful of snow.
"The snow is really heavy …"
Jiang Pengji raised her hand and patted the accumulated snow on her shoulder. The snowflakes were huge, like a ball of white fluff.
No matter how she patted, the oncoming snowflakes still hit her face.
The army advanced slowly in the snow, like a long and black worm wriggling on a piece of white paper.
The audience chatted in twos and threes. Seeing Jiang Pengji in such a sorry state, they laughed and teased her.
Chen Shi Ruyan: "Streamer, the snow outside is so heavy. Why don't you hide in the carriage for a while?"
Quilt Nuanren: "Hahaha, the commenter above, I'm afraid you don't know what stupid thing the streamer has done. She'd rather be blown to death by the north wind or drown in the snow than run into the carriage. Otherwise, why do you think she's staying outside in the cold wind? "
Quilt Shuangyi: "What did the streamer do this time? Recently, the livestream has been all about marching. It's boring, so I didn't follow her. "
Fairy Queen's Crimson: "# picknose. the streamer is good in every aspect, but she's not enlightened when it comes to relationships." If she's stupid, it must have something to do with Beauty Ci. The streamer had a stomachache and complained about a stomachache. Others thought she was on her period. Beauty Ci also mistakenly thought so. In the end? The streamer took the opportunity to sleep on Beauty Ci's thigh.
The audience was surprised. It was just her period. How could that be considered stupid?
Fairy Queen's Crimson: "Not to mention that the streamer only had a stomachache and didn't have her period. Even if she did, which family's period lasts for a month? You're not mistaken. The streamer used this lame excuse to take advantage of Beauty Ci for a month. In the end, she foolishly exposed herself. Was the streamer really a woman in her previous life? Menstruation comes 12 times a year, not once a year. It lasts for a month! "
Jiang Pengji looked at the bullet screen and secretly rolled her eyes.
In her era, women didn't have this thing at all, okay?
She only knew that women in ancient times had it, but she didn't know the specifics.
Because Liu Xi's body was genetically modified, he didn't have a period at all. Jiang Pengji was even less clear about the details.
The stomachache was misunderstood as menstrual pain. She wanted to explain, but she didn't expect him to be so obedient to her.
Jiang Pengji simply went with the flow. She took the opportunity to take advantage of him and take advantage of him.
In the end, she exposed herself. Wei Ci's expression …
