The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041: Ying Dong’s Concern

Of course, Ying Dong did not believe this claim. What kind of person was Meng Pei, and how could they not know after so many years of interaction with him?

Moreover, Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng were very loving on a daily basis. How could it be like what Lord Gong from the capital said, that it was forced?

But these matters, after the deaths of Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng, no one could uncover the truth.

Only after that, those of them who were familiar with Meng Yunzheng never saw him again.

It was difficult for Meng Yunzheng to speak about the Gong family, so he used the old explanation to respond, “I’m doing fine. I was poisoned earlier and became mute. Last year, I heard that a skilled doctor had come to Jiangyuan County, so I came here for treatment. Who knew it was just false news. But Jiangyuan County is quite nice, so I’ve temporarily settled here while slowly inquiring about the whereabouts of a skilled doctor. Later, I went to the southwest for treatment, and now I have fully recovered.”

Ying Dong had heard about this, and he also knew Zhao Xi was a doctor, but he had also been foolish once before.

But what he didn’t know was…

“Poisoned?” Ying Dong furrowed his brows, “How could you be poisoned?”

“In a deep family mansion, the inner workings are complicated.”

Ying Dong understood. The inner strife in the homes of some affluent families was always unceasing. He had experienced it himself.

He and his sister were sold four years ago, and before coming to the Lu family, they had been sold to a wealthy family for work. The reason they were resold again was because their master was caught in a fight, and they became the sacrificial victims.

Being resold like them was considered lucky; some people lost their lives instantly.

Now, it seemed that even if Yun was taken back by his high-ranking official father, he probably lived just as hard.

“What do you plan to do next? Are you really going to marry… the Second Miss?”

This would drag the Second Miss into such a struggle, wouldn’t it?

Although Ying Dong had only been at the Lu family for over a month, he truly enjoyed the atmosphere there. The family members cared for each other, supported each other, and didn’t have all those messy disputes.

Not only was it lighter than the deep family mansion, but it was also even more harmonious and warm compared to his previous home.

After his mother remarried into the Ying family with their siblings, the Ying family’s trivial matters were numerous. His stepfather already had children, and the relatives of the Ying family always treated their siblings as outsiders, constantly on guard, occasionally giving them a hard time; their days were not easy.

But the Lu family was different, with everyone working together with a common goal. The old lady understood reason, Lord and Lady worked hard to make money, and the Miss and Young Master cared for each other.

Especially the Second Miss; she was the backbone of the Lu family. With her around, the Lu family appeared fearless.

But if Yun married the Second Miss and took her back into the Gong Family’s inner mansion, which seemed like a place that could consume people, would the Lu family still be the same?

No, not just the Second Miss, but also Ying Xi, who was by her side.

Thinking of this, Ying Dong furrowed his brows even tighter.

Meng Yunzheng caught the meaning in his words, couldn’t help but smile, and patted his shoulder, saying, “I know what you’re worried about. Rest assured, before that, I will resolve everything and won’t let Yu be wronged.”

Hearing this, Ying Dong felt slightly relieved.

He speculated that Yun would probably split the family with the Gong Family, becoming independent, so there wouldn’t be so many worries.

By the way, he remembered that Yun was exceptionally good at studying when he was young. Now, he should have attained a scholarly rank, and at that time, being assigned as an official elsewhere could also temporarily keep him away from the Gong Family.
