Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1139: Make You Kneel on the Ground for Life?

An Jing and others stood among the guests, however, they were closer to the bride and groom than other guests were.

Four children also came, standing in front of An Jing and Xiao Changyi. The festive atmosphere made them particularly excited, clapping their little hands.

Ye Zhi also came.

Gong Juechen shamelessly insisted on standing next to Ye Zhi. If not for today being the joyous day of Tobanya and Meng Zhuqing, Ye Zhi really wanted to slap Gong Juechen.

She obviously disliked him so much and it showed very clearly, yet this guy kept getting closer to her constantly, which was simply sick!

”First bow to heaven and earth,” the matchmaker shouted loudly.

Tobanya and Meng Zhuqing immediately knelt to bow to heaven and earth.

”Second bow to the high hall,” the matchmaker called out again.

Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing were completely enslaved by Xiao Changyi, essentially becoming part of Prince Yi’s Mansion. They had no relations with Old Lady Meng, but Xiao Changyi never truly treated Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing as slaves nor allowed Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing to change their surnames and genuinely become slaves.

Even, when Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing initially called themselves slaves, Xiao Changyi beat them both.

That beating was particularly harsh, leaving Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing unable to get out of bed for three full days.

After beating them, Xiao Changyi had said, ”You can follow me, but if you call yourselves slaves again, next time, it won’t just be a beating. I will directly break your legs and have you kneel for a lifetime.”

He paused, then Xiao Changyi added, ”You will always be members of the Meng family, whether or not you follow me.”

Since then, Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing no longer called themselves slaves in front of Xiao Changyi, but referred to themselves as subordinates, as if they were still in the military camp maintaining a hierarchy.

The Meng family was loyal and heroic, and General Meng Zhan had taught Xiao Changyi some skills when in the military. Moreover, since General Meng had only two sons, Meng Lanqing and Meng Zhuqing, how could Xiao Changyi allow Meng Lanqing and Meng Zhuqing to leave the Meng family, causing their family line to end?

Meng Lanqing and Meng Zhuqing understood all this.

Originally, Meng Lanqing and Meng Zhuqing possessed a loyal heart, and since Xiao Changyi had saved their Nine Clans and cleared their father’s name, they had accepted without objection to serve Xiao Changyi as slaves, as per their father General Meng Zhan’s dying words the day he passed away.

Upon genuinely serving Xiao Changyi as slaves, their loyalty only deepened. Faithful to their master, Xiao Changyi.

Their master, although reserved and taciturn and seeming indifferent, was actually a man of deep feelings and great righteousness.

In their eyes, no one could compare to their master.

Since Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing were still members of the Meng family, the high hall they were now bowing to naturally belonged to Old Lady Meng.

Old Lady Meng was truly grateful and respected Xiao Changyi deeply. Xiao Changyi had saved the Meng’s nine clans, absolved her husband of his wrongful charges, and kept her two sons as members of the Meng family, preserving the family’s legacy. Even if she died a hundred times, it wouldn’t be enough to repay Xiao Changyi’s great kindness.

When she saw Meng Zhuqing and Tobanya kneeling in front of her high hall, Old Lady Meng’s tear-filled eyes involuntarily turned towards Xiao Changyi standing nearby, who nodded slightly at her without expression. Her tears immediately welled up and spilled over.

Then, she quickly wiped them away.

Today was the great day of her younger son’s wedding, she was happy and should not cry, she should smile.
