Chapter 121 He Zizhong has a problem
"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"
Rong Enqing asked with concern.
Meixiang bowed quickly, forced a smile, and said calmly, "I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable."
"Do you want to find a doctor?"
Rong Enqing reached out to touch Meixiang's forehead, but just as his hand touched her forehead, before he could feel the temperature, Meixiang suddenly knelt down.
She hugged Rong Enqing's waist tightly, buried her head in Rong Enqing's arms, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, followed by suppressed crying.
Er Yue, who was standing by, looked worried and was about to say something, but was stopped by Rong Enqing with a look.
Rong Enqing reached out and gently stroked Meixiang's head, again and again, silently comforting her.
When Meixiang finally stopped crying, she let go of her hand, wiped away her tears, kowtowed to Rong Enqing, and then said self-reproachfully: "I'm sorry, Madam, I have overstepped my authority."
She looked at the water stains on Rong Enqing's clothes embarrassedly and said, "I will help Madam to change her clothes."
Rong Enqing waved his hand, "There's no rush. Can you tell me what happened to you? You went out for no reason, why are you so sad when you come back?"
Before Meixiang could say anything, Eryue said indignantly, "It must be He Zizhong who bullied you, right? I'm going to find him to seek justice for you. You haven't even married him yet, and he's bullied you to tears. If you really marry him, won't you be bullied to death by him? No, I'm going to find him now!"
As she said this, she was about to walk out. Er Yue was a sentimental person, usually gentle and indifferent, but once she touched the little sisters she cared about, she would easily become impulsive.
"Stop messing around?" Rong Enqing stopped him, "We haven't figured out the whole thing yet, why are you in such a hurry? I'm here, how can I let Meixiang suffer any loss?"
Er Yue awkwardly withdrew her foot, bowed to Rong Enqing, and said apologetically: "I know I was wrong. Please punish me, Madam."
"Okay. Let's listen to Meixiang's story first." Rong Enqing didn't mean to blame Eryue. It was a good thing to stand up for a good sister. It was much better than those who would only take advantage of others' misfortunes.
Both of them turned their eyes to Meixiang.
Meixiang didn't say anything, but hesitated for a moment, looked at Rong Enqing, and then looked at Eryue beside her. After a while, she said, "Eryue, can you go out for a while? I want to talk to the lady alone."
Er Yue was puzzled, but at Rong Enqing's signal, she responded and left.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Meixiang bit her lower lip for a long while before she made up her mind and said, "Madam, I don't want to marry He Zizhong anymore. Can you cancel my engagement with him?"
Rong Enqing was shocked. "Why do you want to cancel the engagement? Didn't he send you something yesterday? Er Yue also said that you two get along well."
Meixiang took a deep breath, holding back tears, and said, "He Zizhong didn't really like me, so he agreed to marry me."
"You silly girl, only time can reveal a person's true character. You can't completely reject him just because of his temporary behavior." Rong Enqing advised earnestly.
She clearly remembered Meixiang's sudden and unconcealed shyness and joy when she mentioned He Zizhong.
She was sure that Meixiang liked He Zizhong, and she liked him very much. Therefore, she didn't want her to make a wrong decision on impulse, so as not to regret it in the future.
Meixiang shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and finally said with a resolute look: "Madam, He Zizhong agreed to marry me because I am your confidant and maid. He married me just to get news about you from me."
Rong Enqing's expression changed, and he couldn't believe it. "This is impossible, right?"
Meixiang said with certainty, "It's true. Since our marriage was finalized, we no longer avoid each other like before. We occasionally see each other and talk on weekdays.
“But every time we talked, he would unconsciously lead the topic to the trivial matters of Baishou Hall and then to the lady.
"At first I didn't think anything of it. But as time went on, I slowly began to get a taste of it. Especially today, when we were talking about what to do after marriage, he said he hoped I wouldn't have children for the time being after marriage, and that he wanted me to continue to serve the Madam.
"Later, he pretended to mention Hu Shan casually. He said he didn't know why Hu Shan came to see the Madam, and asked why Hu Shan didn't go to the young marquis when he had something to do.
"What he meant was that he wanted me to find out for him."
Mei Xiang burst into tears again and cried, "I am stupid, but not so stupid that I can't understand the meaning of his words. How can he really want to marry me? He just wants to use me to monitor Madam's every move!"
Rong Enqing's face changed drastically, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness spread in his heart.
"No, it's impossible!" Rong Enqing denied subconsciously.
He Zizhong is the person Yun Ye trusts the most. Why does he want to monitor him through Meixiang?
Is this what he meant? Or is this what Yun Ye meant?
No! This can't be what Yun Ye meant!
She never hides anything from Yun Ye. So, Yun Ye doesn't need to do this!
Since it was not Yun Ye's intention, the purpose behind He Zizhong's doing this is very questionable.
Rong Enqing suddenly remembered that Yun Ye had arranged for He Zizhong to investigate the past of the Marquis' Mansion, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Did He Zizhong really join Yunye?
Yun Ye asked him to investigate the past of the Marquis' Mansion. Could it be that he has alerted the enemy?
Is the person standing behind him Li Guanjia? Or is it Old Guanjia Li?
"Madam? Are you okay?" Meixiang looked at Rong Enqing with concern. What did the Madam think of? Why was her face pale and sweaty?
Rong Enqing woke up with a start, shook his head, and said in a difficult tone: "I'm fine. Put your marriage with He Zizhong aside for now. Wait for me to discuss it with Yun Ye and then make a decision."
Meixiang did not object, but looked at Rong Enqing with a worried look. After a slight hesitation, as if she had made some important decision, she said firmly: "Madam, if He Zizhong has done anything to let you and the young marquis down, I am willing to help you and the young marquis find out what happened to him."
Rong Enqing looked at Meixiang in surprise, "You mean..."
"I want to marry He Zizhong as planned. Doesn't he want to get news about the Madam through me? Then I can monitor his every move. If he dares to do anything to offend the Madam, I can tell her."
Meixiang's words were firm and her eyes were determined, but Rong Enqing always felt that this girl had a tendency to turn love into hate.
"That won't work." Rong Enqing refused decisively, "If He Zizhong really has a problem, then I will never marry you to him. You still have a long life ahead of you, and I won't let a mere He Zizhong ruin your happiness for the rest of your life."
