Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

"Dad!" When Meng heard the news that her own father was returning home, she could not sit still and lifted her skirt and hurried out to greet him.

After the emperor gave the order in the court, someone immediately went to execute it. Therefore, when Mr. Meng returned from court later, he saw his daughter with tears on her face, running to him in a hurry for help.

Mr. Meng has loved his daughter since she was a child. No matter how many troubles she gets into, he will clean up the mess for her, as long as it does not affect his own career.

Now, because of this daughter who only knows how to get into trouble and is still unstable at her age, Mr. Meng just feels tired and even more resentful!

Yes, he blamed his daughter for causing him trouble and affecting his career, which he had worked hard to build. He also blamed her for doing things that brought shame upon him.

Therefore, he had a gloomy face and looked with cold eyes at his daughter who did not look like a lady at all as she ran towards him.

Meng was not a person who would read people's cues and act accordingly. She thought her father came home late because something happened in the court and he was tired. She never thought that her husband's arrest had anything to do with her.

Mr. Meng still had some sense left and did not embarrass her in public. He turned his back and walked straight past Mrs. Meng.

"Dad?" Even though Meng couldn't read people's faces, she knew that her father was angry, otherwise he wouldn't ignore her.

Mrs. Meng followed Mr. Meng to the study.

As soon as Mr. Meng sat down, Mrs. Meng couldn't wait to complain, "Dad, you have to make a decision for your daughter! The people from the Ministry of Justice suddenly broke into the house and took my husband away without saying a word. I am very worried.

Dad, please help your daughter!"

Mr. Meng snorted coldly: "I don't have the ability to disobey your order."

It was then that Mr. Meng noticed that his daughter's attire today was a little unusual. There were no fancy jewels on her head, but a veil. When had she ever dressed so simply and plainly?

Furthermore, she wore a face scarf from beginning to end, and even when she entered the study, she never took it off. If she said she forgot, she had been waiting in the mansion for a long time. Even if she forgot, her old wife would remind her.

"What's the matter with you dressed like this?"

"What disobedience?"

The father and daughter spoke at the same time. After hearing this, they both paused. Old Master Meng was the first to react and answered her question quietly, "At the morning court today, someone reported Qi Sheng, and the emperor ordered that he be arrested and investigated."

"Why? What crime did he commit?"

Old Master Meng sneered, "Thanks to you, yesterday your husband's first wife came to visit and caused a lot of uproar. The censor reported him. Otherwise, the emperor might not know who Qi Sheng is."

Meng's pupils dilated. She didn't expect it was because of that mother and son!

She was so angry that she clenched her fists tightly and bit the medicine tightly, regretting once again that she was soft-hearted and did not cut the root of the problem.

"By the way, the emperor has ordered that they must pay them and their son 20,000 taels of silver in compensation. You should personally deliver the silver to them, apologize to them, and beg for forgiveness."

"No! I will not apologize to that village woman!"

Mr. Meng's eyes darkened, and his tone was stern and unyielding: "This is an imperial decree! Do you want to disobey it and implicate our Meng Mansion?

Don't you think it's not enough that you've caused trouble for the Meng family?"

As he spoke, Master Meng angrily slapped the table, stood up, and shouted, "Because of you, my wicked daughter, the emperor reprimanded me in court, demoted me, and confined me to self-reflection. You have completely disgraced me!"
