Chapter 1041: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1041: Ying Dong's Worries
Of course, Ying Dong didn't believe that explanation. How could they, who had been with Meng Pei for many years, not know what kind of person he was? Moreover, Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng were very affectionate to each other. They didn't seem to be forced into the marriage as that person from the capital claimed.
However, after Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng passed away, the truth behind these matters became unknowable.
Since then, none of them, who were acquainted with Meng Yunzheng, had seen him again.
Meng Yunzheng couldn't explain the situation regarding the Gong family, so he used the same set of words as before, "I'm fine. I was poisoned some time ago and became mute. Last year, I heard that a capable doctor had come to Jiangyuan County, so I came here seeking medical treatment. Who knew it was just a false rumor. Jiangyuan County is quite nice, so I stayed here for a while and slowly inquired about the whereabouts of the skilled doctor. Later, I went to the southwest for treatment and have already recovered."
Ying Dong had heard about this incident before, and he knew that Zhao Xi was a doctor, but he had also been fooled before.
However, what he didn't know was...
"Poisoned?" Ying Dong frowned, "How did you get poisoned?"
"Deep household, complicated internal affairs," Meng Yunzheng explained.
Ying Dong understood. In wealthy households, internal conflicts were common, and he had experienced it himself.
Before coming to the Lu family, he and his sister had been sold to a wealthy household and served as servants. Being sold again meant that they had become sacrificial pawns in the power struggle between their masters.
In such situations, some people didn't even survive.
Now, hearing about Meng Yunzheng's experience, he feared that even if he was recognized by his biological father, life would still be difficult for him.
"What are your plans for the future? Are you really going to marry... Second Miss?"
Wouldn't that drag Second Miss into those internal struggles?
Although Ying Dong had only been at the Lu family for a little over a month, he really liked the atmosphere there. The family members cared for and supported each other, and there were no messy internal conflicts.
Not only was it more relaxed than the Deep family's mansion, but it was even more harmonious and warm than his previous family.
After his mother remarried into the Ying family, there were many trifling matters to deal with. His stepfather already had children, and the elders and relatives of the Ying family treated them like outsiders, always on guard against them and occasionally subjecting them to punishment. Their lives were not easy.
However, it was different in the Lu family. Everyone worked together as one. The Old Lady understood the situation, the Old Master worked hard to earn money, and the Young Miss and Young Master cared for each other.
Especially the Young Miss, she was the backbone of the Lu family. With her around, the people in the Lu family seemed fearless.
But if Meng Yunzheng were to marry Second Miss and enter the treacherous internal affairs of the Gong family, would the Lu family still be the same as it was now?
No, not only Second Miss, but also the person by her side... Ying Xi.
Thinking of this, Ying Dong's brows furrowed even more.
Meng Yunzheng understood his concerns and couldn't help but smile. He patted Ying Dong's shoulder and said, "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, before anything happens, I'll resolve everything and won't let Ah Yu suffer."
Hearing him say that, Ying Dong felt somewhat relieved.
He guessed that Meng Yunzheng might separate from the Gong family, establish his own household, and not have so many worries.
Right, he remembered that Meng Yunzheng used to be very good at studying when he was young. He should have taken the imperial examination and gained a position by now. If he were to become an official and be stationed away, he could temporarily distance himself from the Gong family.
