The Feng Family had killed so many of his brothers. Could he pretend that nothing had happened? Could he still show his kindness to the Feng Family? What would his brothers think if they saw it?
If they wanted to be at ease, it was better for them not to see each other again.
Peng Yulan came to embarrass him. After all, she was his mother-in-law. If she treated him harshly, he would be scolded. If she treated him as a mother-in-law, his brothers would be disappointed.
"Prince!" On the contrary, Meng Shanming stopped him and said hesitantly, "Since she came to see me, there must be something. It's not impossible for me to go and see her."
Shang Chaozong said solemnly, "Uncle Meng …"
"Brother!" Shang Shuqing said, "It's not bad to let Uncle Meng see what she wants to do."
Lan Ruoting also persuaded him.
Under the persuasion of several people, Shang Chaozong had to give in and asked someone to escort Meng Shanming away.
In a private room of the provincial governor's mansion, Peng Yulan sat alone. There were guards accompanying her, but she was the only one who was allowed in.
Now that the provincial governor's mansion was under the control of the Great Zen Mountain, it was no longer under the control of the Heavenly Jade Sect. She couldn't do anything if she didn't let others in.
Meng Shanming arrived. Peng Yulan stood up and squeezed out a forced smile. She greeted him cautiously, "Marshal Meng."
Things were different now. If it was in the past, she wouldn't take Meng Shanming too seriously.
Meng Shanming nodded slightly and turned back, "Daan, you go out first."
Luo Daan, who was pushing the wheelchair behind, looked at Peng Yulan with anger in his eyes. To some extent, Peng Yulan could be said to be the enemy who killed his father. Thinking of the scene of his mother's tears, he was full of grief and indignation, "Master, you have to guard against this person." He looked like he wanted to protect her.
"Shut up, get out!" Meng Shanming scolded angrily.
Luo Daan lowered his head, turned around and left with the two guns.
Looking back at Peng Yulan, Meng Shanming sighed in his heart. Peng Yulan, whose cultivation was abolished, was much older and more haggard. Her original black hair was mostly white. "He is still young, madam, don't lower yourself to his level."
Peng Yulan said forcefully, "It's alright. I was the one who took the liberty to disturb Commander Meng."
She didn't know who Luo Daan was, nor did she know about his anger. She only knew what had happened in the past.
Meng Shanming said, "Madam, please take a seat. Let's sit down and talk."
Peng Yulan put down her uneasiness and slowly sat down.
Seeing her hesitation, Meng Shan Ming took the initiative to ask, "Madam, are you here for the Princess?"
He wasn't the only one who thought this way. Shang Shuqing and Lan Ruoting, who had helped to persuade Shang Chaozong previously, also thought the same way.
Peng Yulan's eyes reddened at the mention of her daughter. She shook her head with an unsightly expression and said, "Commander Meng, I was wrong. I was blinded by greed and harmed both my son and daughter. But Meng Shuai, Ruonan really doesn't know about it. She didn't participate in it at all from the beginning to the end. It really has nothing to do with her … "
Some matters were not resolved until the very end. Before the Heavenly Jade Gate left the Southern Province, she was still immersed in the hatred of her son's death.
Only when she found out that the Heavenly Jade Gate had been kicked out of the Southern Province by Shang Chaozong did she wake up from the shock. If the Heavenly Jade Gate couldn't do anything to Shang Chaozong, what could she do? At least, she couldn't do anything right now. When the Heavenly Jade Gate started to move, she remembered that her daughter was still in Shang Chaozong's hands. She woke up and realized that she had let her daughter down.
She went to Bai Yao to ask how Feng Ruonan was doing. Bai Yao didn't say much and instead asked her, "What do you think?"
He then added, "She doesn't want to interact with the people of the Heavenly Jade Gate. She's lonely and has lost a lot of weight!"
Peng Yulan couldn't describe her feelings at the time.
She cried! She wanted the Heavenly Jade Gate to take Feng Ruonan with them, but it was too late. The Heavenly Jade Gate's energy and focus had already shifted to the Northern Province. Shang Chaozong was no longer under the Heavenly Jade Gate's control.
If they were still under control and Feng Ruonan refused to leave, the Heavenly Jade Gate could still take her away by force.
The three major sects suddenly intervened and isolated the Heavenly Jade Gate from the people in the Provincial Governor's Mansion. It was too late for the Heavenly Jade Gate to take Feng Ruonan away. Could the Heavenly Jade Gate still barge into Shang Chaozong's mansion and take her away by force?
Without the Heavenly Jade Gate to take care of her, Peng Yulan couldn't imagine how her daughter would survive.
She had no choice but to thicken her face and come.
She also knew that it wouldn't be easy to talk to Shang Chaozong and that it would embarrass Shang Chaozong, which would easily lead to conflict. That was why she thought of meeting Meng Shanming. She knew how influential Meng Shanming was to Shang Chaozong. In addition to Meng Shanming's seniority and experience, he was someone she could talk to.
Meng Shanming calmly listened to her and nodded, "Madam, you don't have to explain. I've known the Consort for a long time. I know what kind of person the Consort is. I wonder what Madam thinks?"
Peng Yulan wiped her tears and tried to ask, "Can Marshal Meng persuade the Prince to let Ruonan go?"
Meng Shanming muttered, "Is Madam aware of the Consort's attitude? No one here restricts the Consort's freedom. When the Heavenly Jade Gate was still here, they had asked several times. It wasn't that the Prince didn't want the Consort to leave, but the Consort herself didn't want to leave. The Heavenly Jade Gate should know about this. They should know the Consort's attitude. "
Peng Yulan said, "I know. I know. That's why I hope Marshal Meng can think of a way."
Meng Shanming sighed, "How do you expect me to think of a way? Do you want me to think of a way to drive the Consort out of the house? Is this something a subject should do? The Consort didn't do anything wrong. We can only persuade her to make peace, but not to leave. "
Without waiting for her to say anything else, he raised his hand to stop her, "Madam, I know how you feel. Forgive me for being blunt, but the Consort has an unyielding character. Even if she leaves the Prince's Residence, she won't leave with you. Letting her wander outside will only bring harm to her. If she is used by someone with ulterior motives, it will also implicate the Prince. If Madam truly wishes for her own good, you should think of another way to help her. "
Peng Yulan hurriedly asked, "How can I help? Marshal Meng, please tell me."
Speaking of this, Meng Shanming hesitated for a moment, "If there's one person here who is willing to help, he should be able to help the Consort. I just don't know if he's willing to help."
Peng Yulan immediately asked, "Who?"
Meng Shanming slowly uttered the name, "Niu Youdao! His relationship with this side has great influence, but he also maintains a distance. He won't be affected by the relationship between the upper and lower levels here. Moreover, everyone here respects him and trusts him. "
What he said was correct. Niu Youdao didn't owe anyone from Shang Chaozong's side. On the contrary, it was Shang Chaozong's side that had received Niu Youdao's kindness.
Over the years, Niu Youdao's behavior of only giving and not taking had unknowingly accumulated a very strong influence in Nanzhou.
"…" Peng Yulan was speechless. She believed this, but the key was … She said with a bitter face, "I don't have a good relationship with him. Marshal Meng, if you ask, he should give you face. Can you …"
Meng Shanming shook his head, "Madam, there are some things that are very difficult for us. Otherwise, there's no need for Madam to beg him. Not to mention others, you've seen the attitude of the kid behind me just now. His father used to be a close follower of King Ning and also my subordinate. In order to save me, he died in the hands of your son, the Consort's brother! If I come forward, how can I explain to the living and the dead? "
He said it so bluntly, how could Peng Yulan still not understand?
After understanding, she didn't disturb him too much. This wasn't a place for her to stay for a long time. She said goodbye and left.
Meng Shanming, who was watching her leave, also sighed softly. He couldn't help Peng Yulan with this idea.
They couldn't kill Feng Ruonan just because of the grudge with the Feng Clan, right?
It wasn't appropriate to drive Feng Ruonan out. Even if they divorced, they were husband and wife. After all, she was once the Consort. Just like what he said to Peng Yulan, if she was used by someone with ulterior motives, it would also implicate them.
…
Qingshan County, Thatched Cottage Villa.
The villa that was already clean was being cleaned again. A group of monks came to clean it. The group of monks from Nanshan Temple had returned.
Yuan Fang changed back into his monk's robe and stood there giving instructions. He cleaned up everything here and there.
In fact, the three sects had been sending people to clean it every day, but Yuan Fang felt that it wasn't clean enough.
Three figures landed outside the villa. Fei Changliu, Xia Hua, and Zheng Jiuxiao entered the villa. They looked at the people who were cleaning and found Yuan Fang.
"When is Niu Youdao coming back?" Fei Changliu asked.
When they suddenly realized that Yuan Fang and the group of people from Mount Five Liang had returned, the heads of the three sects realized that Niu Youdao was definitely coming back.
Thus, for two consecutive days, the three of them came over a few times a day to take a look and also asked a few times.
In the end, Yuan Fang chuckled and gave the same answer. "How would I know? Uh …" Yuan Fang, who unintentionally looked up at the sky, was stunned.
The three of them looked back and saw four birds flying over. After circling a few times in the sky, they spiraled down.
When the four birds landed in the courtyard, a group of people jumped down. If it wasn't Niu Youdao and the group, who else could it be?
"Daoye!" Yuan Fang laughed happily. He flung his monk robe and ran over. His bald head was very shiny.
The group of cleaning monks stood up and put their palms together to welcome him.
"You look good in this." Niu Youdao sized up Yuan Fang and gave him a comment. He then ignored him and looked around. Seeing that the villa was still the same, he nodded in satisfaction.
The three sects walked over. Xia Hua was the first to greet him. "Daoye!"
Fei Changliu and Zheng Jiuxiao looked at each other when they heard this. Then, they greeted him one after another. "Daoye."
Niu Youdao smiled and looked at the three of them for a while. Finally, he said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's my job." Xia Hua chuckled. Then, she walked to the side and held Guan Fangyi's arm.
After chatting with the three sects for a while, Niu Youdao introduced Zhuang Hong and the others to them. The three sects were in awe of him.
After Guan Fangyi brought Zhuang Hong and the others to their accommodations, Xia Hua smiled and asked, "Daoye, whose birds are these?"
It was not just these birds. The three sects also noticed that when Gongsun Bu and the others returned, they were in a mess. Eight giant birds, three of which were Scarlet Hunting Eagles. They almost drooled when they saw them.
In the end, four more came. Was there an end to this? They felt like they were going to become a branch of the Wan Shou Faction.
Niu Youdao laughed and said, "They are all matchmakers."
