Chapter 617 Love rivals meet
"Our lady knows the secret of your parents. If you want to know, follow me."
Xia Chuhe froze in her tracks. After hearing this, her legs felt as if they were filled with lead and she could not take another step.
She never expected that Meng actually knew about her parents?
Could it be that the death of her parents is also related to the Meng family?
Or, does she know something?
Thinking of this, Xia Chuhe's heart was like a surging wave and could no longer calm down.
After taking a deep breath, she said, "Okay, I'll go with you to see your wife."
She must get to the bottom of this matter today, otherwise she will be uneasy.
Cai Lian brought Xia Chuhe to the yard where Meng was imprisoned.
Even from a distance, Meng could hear the sound of footsteps. She knew that Cai Lian had brought Xia Chuhe here.
Among the people that Meng hated the most in her life, Xia Chuhe was definitely one of them.
Although, she had only met the other party a few times and the other party didn't know her at all.
But her existence inexplicably made Meng feel a sense of crisis.
Cai Lian walked to Meng's door, knocked gently, and said, "Madam, I have brought Madam Xia to you."
The key was in Ji Nanchuan's hand and she couldn't open the door, so Meng and the people outside could only communicate through the door.
She asked Cai Lian to guard outside the yard and inform her in time if there was any situation, especially when Ji Nanchuan came.
It was because she didn't dare let Ji Nanchuan know about this.
After Cai Lian left, Meng dipped her fingertips in saliva and poked a small hole in the window.
Through the gap in the small hole, she saw Xia Chuhe's face, which was younger and more beautiful than hers.
Just like twenty-five years ago, time has only left a few signs of aging on her beautiful face, but has not obscured her beauty.
In fact, Xia Chuhe now has a more feminine charm, which makes her look even more attractive.
No wonder Ji Nanchuan wanted to marry her.
It would be a lie for Meng to say she wasn't jealous. She looked down at herself. She was wearing her favorite purple suyun brocade dress, which hadn't been washed for a long time and was filthy.
Ji Nanchuan cut off her monthly salary and expenses, and recently sent her coarse linen clothes that servants wore.
Meng looked down upon the fabrics and never wore them.
She felt that those clothes would be beneath her status.
She is only temporarily down and out now. When Ji Nanchuan calms down, he will definitely order people to release her. By then, she will still be the high and mighty mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, and no one can shake her position.
However, when she saw Xia Chuhe now, Meng's heart was shaken, and she developed a strong sense of crisis.
She knew that Ji Nanchuan would really divorce her and marry Xia Chuhe.
In front of this woman, she never had any advantages. Even though she was the daughter of an official, Xia Chuhe was just an ordinary merchant girl.
Ji Nanchuan loves her more than he loves himself.
In just a few breaths, Meng's mind had already filled in many scenes. She cursed in her heart, why did Xia Chuhe come back? Why didn't she die outside like her parents?
She felt that the other party came back this time just to snatch Ji Nanchuan from her, and she hated Xia Chuhe even more.
Xia Chuhe also saw Meng's red eyes filled with hatred through the gap in the small hole.
She was slightly stunned, not understanding why a stranger would be so hostile to her?
She hesitated for a moment before asking Mrs. Meng, "I wonder if Mrs. Meng asked me to come over and said she knew about my parents' affairs, is it true or false?"
Meng didn't answer her question. She just stared at Xia Chuhe and suddenly sneered.
"You are just like your mother, with a foxy face. No wonder you can seduce men."
"It's been twenty-five years, and my husband still misses you so much that he even keeps your original portrait and doesn't let anyone touch it. As soon as you came back, he wanted to divorce his wife and marry you. Are you particularly proud and pleased?"
As Meng said this, veins bulged on the back of her hands. She grabbed the door frame with all her strength, and her nails left scratches on the door.
But in his heart he wanted to scratch Xia Chuhe's face.
Xia Chuhe looked at her, bewildered.
She knew that women's jealousy was terrible, but she never expected that Meng would say this to her and humiliate her mother.
She suppressed her anger and said coldly: "Mrs. Meng said I can, but I can't say anything about my mother. She only loves my father in her life and has never seduced any man."
"Also, I don't know what Madam Meng meant by those words. Twenty-five years ago, my relationship with the Marquis was completely severed, and I have never contacted him alone since then."
"The reason why I came to the Marquis' Mansion today is just to see Old Madam Ji. It has nothing to do with the Marquis, that's all."
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng yelled at the top of her voice, "You're lying!"
"Don't think that I don't know. On the day you moved overnight, you even wrote a letter to the Marquis."
Xia Chuhe was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "How do you know?"
Meng sneered twice, as if he had regained his position.
She said sarcastically, "You don't know yet, but the Marquis was with me that night. He was drunk and fell into my arms. Naturally, he didn't receive the letter you wrote."
Seeing Xia Chuhe's incredulous look, Meng became even more excited. She continued, "The servant you arranged to deliver the letter insisted on seeing the Marquis in person before handing over the letter."
"I was so angry that I had his hands twisted and legs broken, and he finally handed over the letter. Later, he couldn't get any treatment from the doctor, and died in pain in front of me."
"Tsk, tsk, that scream was so painful, but who made him not listen to me and not willing to give me the letter you wrote?"
"You may not know this, but before he died he was crying out your name, asking you to save him!"
Xia Chuhe's expression suddenly changed when she heard this, and she looked at Meng in shock.
"You...you did it...I have no grudge against you, why did you do this?"
She said, why did Ji Nanchuan say that he did not receive the letter she wrote to him? It turned out that it was all Meng's doing.
And that servant boy was her father's confidant. He volunteered to help Xia Chuhe deliver the letter.
He was very familiar with the way to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, and he had often seen Ji Nanchuan. The servant thought that it would be more convincing if he delivered the letter himself.
