Covet

Chapter 34 Blackening and Coercion

The back kitchen of Xie’s mansion is not big, Meng Tan was absent-mindedly choosing vegetables, and Meng Tong, who was cutting vegetables next to him, saw that the good Chinese cabbage was humiliated by Meng Tan, so he put down the kitchen knife and walked over to take the cabbage from Meng Tan’s hand. Chinese cabbage.

Meng Tan came back to his senses, sighed, and Meng Tong took him to the yard.

"Young master, you can't eat or sleep at night. You almost chopped yourself up when you were asked to chop vegetables yesterday. You can't go on like this. You have to cheer up." Meng Tong tried to persuade him, because of Meng Tan's state. It's really worrying, Mr. Xie doesn't know what he's doing. I heard from Xie Qiao that there are fine works in the mansion, but there is no kitchen. Mr. Xie doesn't visit the young master secretly these days.

He complained in his heart, Meng Tan looked at the square courtyard with only one sky above, and suddenly felt bored and panicked, he had never hidden anything in his heart, and now this feeling of not being able to get up and down was going to drive him crazy.

"Meng Tong, go and tell them, let me serve the food today, I want to see Xie Ran." There is no way to solve the doubts in my stomach, so I might as well ask Xie Ran, is he really What did you do that was not good for your father?

"This..." Meng Tong didn't want Meng Tan to go out from the bottom of his heart. Xie Qiao said that the seriousness of the matter was that the young master was not only wanted, but also Mr. Xie's weakness, but seeing the young master getting thinner and thinner, he also felt distressed.

"Okay!" Meng Tong compromised, Xie Qiao is the big housekeeper, he has to go to Xie Qiao for this matter, he doesn't want to meet this person, but now for the sake of the young master, he has to make this trip.

Meng Tong made up his mind and went to find Xie Qiao, who knew that Xie Qiao wasn't there today, and Meng Tong couldn't think of any other way, so he went to replace the person who served the food with them, and secretly stuffed money.

After finishing all this, he and Meng Tan stood in the serving line with plates when it was time for lunch. Meng Tan saw that there were more than ten people today, twice as many as usual, and wondered if someone came here today.

"Follow!" said the maid in charge, Meng Tan lowered his head and followed behind them, and finally arrived at the front hall, and the serving maids entered the room one after another.

Meng Tan glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough there was a visitor, a student from the academy who was also there during his study tour, his name seemed to be Wen An, Meng Tan immediately lowered his head, fearing that he would be recognized.

As soon as he entered the door, Xie Ran saw it. He frowned slightly and then returned to normal. Wen An kept looking at Xie Ran, and when he noticed that his eyes swept over a maid, he immediately looked at that maid.

The head maid is well-behaved, but Wen An always feels that this person is a little familiar. Out of curiosity, Wen An looked down at her feet, and found that something was wrong. This girl's feet are bigger than other maids, and her eyes , really familiar.

Wen An sneered in his heart, and suddenly said to Xie Ran: "Sir, I was wrong about what happened before, but the former Prime Minister will be beheaded in half a month. Even though Meng Tan has escaped, Mr. should also write a letter of divorce to avoid suspicion." The book tells the world."

Meng Tan's hand trembled when he heard this, and the vegetable slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. He was startled and immediately squatted down to pick it up, but his eye circles were already reddened uncontrollably.

"Sir, this maid of yours is really hateful. Does this mean you don't welcome me?" Wen An said viciously, with an unhappy expression on his face, as he said that he pretended to touch the teacup, and poured the scalding hot tea on Meng Tan's front. Startled, Xie Ran's eyes instantly turned cold. Naturally, Meng Tong, who was following behind Meng Tan, could not injure his young master, so he immediately rushed forward.

Hot tea was poured on his back and neck, and he gritted his teeth in pain.

"Peng—" Xie Ran slapped the table with his palm.

"Xie Qiao, take the two of them down and train them well."

Xie Qiao next to him took orders, and Meng Tan stood up in a daze. Before leaving, Wen An was still telling Xie Ran that the new emperor intended to make Xie Ran a prime minister. Looking at the sunny sky outside, Meng Tan smiled bleakly, The whole world seemed to lose its color.

His heart was cold, as cold as stagnant water, and he couldn't help but think of his father's words, father would not harm him, is it because he doesn't know people clearly?He was so sad, his heart ached, and he couldn't breathe from the pain.

"Master, are you alright?" Meng Tong stepped forward and asked.

Meng Tan looked at the place where he was still red, and said: "I am so useless, no one can save me, I will only hinder my progress."

Meng Tong thought he was talking about what happened just now, and immediately said: "Young master doesn't need to save people, I do it voluntarily, if you like me, young master."

Meng Tan was moved when he heard this, but he was so tired that he didn't want to talk. When he returned to the back kitchen, Xie Qiao punished the servant who exchanged with them. Meng Tong accused him of being unreasonable, obviously it was their fault. Wrong, why punish others, Xie Qiao started talking about him.

Their quarrel seems to be far away, Meng Tan's world seems to be out of touch with reality, father is about to be killed, he can't save father, but Xie Ran is going to be the prime minister of the new dynasty, this person is above ten thousand If it is said that he has nothing to do with the new emperor, no one will believe it. What he fears most has happened.

Meng Tan went back to the house to rest, and Meng Tong wanted to go back, but was held back by Xie Qiao.

"What are you doing?" Meng Tong said angrily.

Xie Qiao pulled him towards his house.

"You are injured, I will apply medicine to you."

When Meng Tong heard this, he wanted to struggle away: "Let go, I can do it myself, I don't need you to help me."

Xie Qiao pushed the door open, pulled him in, and closed the door again.

"The injury is in the back, why did you do it yourself?" He went to get the medicine, Meng Tong was a little embarrassed, the area on the back of his neck was really hot, it's hard to imagine that if the tea was splashed on the young master's face, it wouldn't be disfigured?

"Take it off!" Xie Qiao said holding the medicine.

Meng Tong took a step back and refused, "No need, I can do it myself."

Xie Qiao sneered: "You are still not a man. The young master asked me to take care of you. I just followed orders. Are you still afraid of me? You were drugged last time, but now you are sober. How could I have sex with a man?" said Wan Wan swept Meng Tong from head to toe in disgust.

Meng Tong didn't like him bringing up the incident last time, but he had no reason to refuse. If he wasn't allowed to take the medicine today, he might not be able to leave the room.

So he turned around, untied his clothes, and took them off from his neck to his waist, but didn't take them off completely. Xie Ran looked at the red spots on it, and applied ointment on him with a bamboo board.

The cool feeling relieved the burning pain caused by the scald, because it was so close, Meng Tong could feel Xie Qiao's breath, sometimes when he lowered his head, the exhaled breath hit his flesh, making Meng Tong blush unconsciously face.

"Are you alright?" he urged.

Xie Qiao smiled, lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "Hurry up, what's the rush?"

His voice made Meng Tong even more restless. After applying the medicine and tying up the white gauze, Xie Qiao put down his things, pulled up Meng Tong's clothes and suddenly surrounded him, and Meng Tong was completely wrapped by him.

"What are you doing?" Meng Tong yelled, but Xie Ran just quickly tied his belt and left.

Meng Tong wrongly blamed him, a little embarrassed, lowered his head and said "thank you" before opening the door and running away, Xie Qiao looked at his back and smiled, thinking of the touch of his hands just now, his throat moved.

At night, when a strong wind blew, Xie Ran was about to go to bed when the door was opened. He put on his coat and saw that it was Meng Tan.

Meng Tan took off her women's clothes and changed into men's clothes. He looked at Xie Ran's expression without the obsession of the past, a little haggard, a little cold, and pitiful.

"I have something to ask you." Meng Tan said to Xie Ran.

Xie Ran understood, closed the door and took him to sit down.

"The Prime Minister will be fine." Xie Ran said.

Meng Tan shook his head, looked at Xie Ran's disbelief and said: "Father is going to kill me, why is nothing wrong?"

Xie Ran pressed his shoulder: "Trust me! He will be fine."

Meng Tanpo began by asking, "Do you have any relationship with the new emperor?" The new emperor murdered his father and usurped the throne, and even blamed his father. Xie Ranruo had something to do with the new emperor, how could he not know about such a big event.

"There used to be, but not now." Xie Ran confessed that he didn't need to lie to Meng Tan, but Meng Tan pushed him away after hearing this.

"Then you are also an accomplice, no wonder the new emperor wants you to replace my father as the prime minister." His idea was too simple, since he was involved, he was the murderer of his father.

His words made Xie Ran's eyes darken, he lifted Meng Tan's chin and let him look at him, Meng Tan refused, but he pinched his chin forcefully and broke it away.

Meng Tan stared at him with red eyes, Xie Ran looked at him and said: "I didn't harm your father, he will be fine."

After he let go of Meng Tan, Meng Tan still didn't believe it. If what Xie Ran said was true, why did his father let him leave Xie Ran? Father would not lie to him.

"Xie Ran, give me a divorce letter!" Meng Tan said this with difficulty, and Xie Ran's breath was in vain.

He said in a cold tone, "Say it again!"

Meng Tan looked up at him firmly and said, "Send me a divorce letter!"

Xie Ran didn't speak, but a storm was brewing in his eyes, Meng Tan was a little scared, he took a step back, feeling that Xie Ran made him uneasy.

"You provoked me, and now you want to leave me?" Xie Ran took a step forward. At this time, he was not the usual Mr. Xie, but more like the landlord upstairs.

Meng Tan shook his lips, he didn't know how to answer, because he really provoked Xie Ran, and has been pestering him, seeing him as his pursuit in this life, but the world is impermanent, no matter how incompetent he is, he shouldn't be unfilial. Yi Yi is the husband, why let him make this choice?

"I don't want to pester you now. You should be happy. Didn't you always want to lose me? Divorce me, and you will be happy." Meng Tan struggled in his heart, and finally decided to cut the mess quickly.

Xie Ran sneered and said, "Do you think I will let you get away with it?" His nature is not a gentle wife at all. Leaving yourself, how can there be such a good thing in the world, if you mess with him, you should be his person, and you will stay by his side forever?

Meng Tan watched Xie Ran say this, and picked himself up. He struggled, his hands were tied to the head of the bed, and his clothes were torn to pieces.

"Xie Ran, don't do this—" Meng Tan yelled, remembering what happened before.

"Don't worry, I won't do it with you, but I want you to understand the fate of betraying me." He picked up the writing brush on the table and walked over, Meng Tan cried out in fright, when the writing brush got closer and closer to him.

Meng Tan yelled: "Husband don't want it, I'm afraid—"

Xie Ran shook his hand, and the brush fell from his hand. The fierceness and madness in his eyes faded away, and he returned to his former cold appearance.

Xie Ran wiped away Meng Tan's tears, lowered his head and kissed his lips, this was a gentle and guilty kiss, which made Meng Tan's tears even more violent, after the kiss, Xie Ran untied the rope that bound him, and stood up With his back to Meng Tan.

"Sorry, I lost my temper. If you really want to leave, I will write you a divorce letter." After he finished speaking, he left the room without looking at Meng Tan. He promised to give him a divorce letter, but he felt so empty in his heart, those things with Xie Ran were like a dream, so unreal.

He hugged the quilt, feeling very cold, turning over and looking in the direction of the door, who just left, will he come back?
