So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place
Chapter 101 A fatal "joke" 3
"Exchange poems and articles for some silver!? Exchange for some silver!?" Meng Zhengcheng was furious. He was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and managed all the silver in the world. He didn't expect that his daughter would sell her own calligraphy and paintings for a few pieces of silver?! Now she caused such a disaster.
Meng Zhengcheng felt that it was really ridiculous and he had lost all face. He ignored the father-daughter relationship and slapped Meng Yulan hard in the face.
"Did your family mistreat you? Ah? They have raised you for more than ten years, and every single thing they offered you was carefully selected.
Is it that you are short of food, clothing, or daily necessities? Is the family impoverished or am I going to die? I didn't know that the biological daughter of the Meng family had to go out and take private jobs to earn money! "
Meng Yulan had nothing to say and could only lie on the ground and sob.
"Say something!? Aren't you full of ideas? Why are you pretending to be mute when I ask you a question?" Meng Zhengcheng was really angry. After venting his anger, he turned around and sat on a chair to calm down.
"Yulan, although I am not your biological mother, as your stepmother, I have never treated you, the illegitimate children, unfairly. I have given you all the money, food and other items that should have been allocated to you.
Even if you have a lot of expenses and are short of money, you can just come to me to ask for money, but you shouldn't have written those obscene songs outside without telling me and your father! Now that the whole city is in an uproar, you have brought shame to our Meng family!"
Seeing that Meng Zhengcheng was angry, Mrs. Meng came out to finish off the enemy and clear herself of responsibility.
Meng Yulan felt aggrieved but could not refute it. She did accept other people's invitations and write poems for money because she was short of money.
"Daddy, Mommy, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong... Please forgive me!" Meng Yulan said crying.
Meng Zhengcheng snorted coldly and didn't say anything.
Meng Yufu couldn't stay idle and interrupted: "Sister, do you really think that father and mother don't know why you are short of money? It's okay that you spend money extravagantly on weekdays, but now you have done something so shameful. You have really brought shame to our Meng family!"
Meng Yufu became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice unconsciously became louder.
Meng Yulan felt even more sad when she heard her sister's groundless accusations. She knew that she was indeed wrong this time, but she had no money and could not move forward. She was also forced to do so.
"What are you doing here?" Meng Zhengcheng was even more furious when he heard Meng Yufu's voice. How could the eldest daughter have the nerve to blame the youngest daughter here? Didn't she know what she had done?
If he hadn't taken his own face, the status of Prince Rui, and his wife's in-laws from the Chen family into consideration, he would have strangled the troublemaker to death with a white silk scarf and ended the matter, instead of letting himself be led by them by the nose.
Now any cat or dog in the house can make trouble and step on his face like a rag, which really makes him angry.
"I'm dealing with your sister's affairs. Why are you, a daughter waiting to be married, making a fuss here? Come, take the young lady away quickly!" The nanny beside Madam Meng received an order from Meng Zhengcheng to take Meng Yufu away quickly so as not to bring bad luck here.
Meng Zhengcheng looked at Meng Yulan, his eyes full of disappointment. He sighed and said, "Forget it, get up."
Meng Yulan couldn't stand up and didn't dare to get up. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Meng Zhengcheng.
Meng Zhengcheng suddenly felt very tired. He had worked so hard for this family, but he didn't expect his son to be unimproving and his daughter to be a drag.
The whole house seemed to be bustling with people, but in fact there was no one who could help. Meng Zhengcheng felt a piercing loneliness at an inopportune time.
"In the final analysis, it was all my fault as a father for my negligence and failure to care about you. But you shouldn't have acted like this and tarnished the reputation of the entire family. I can only say that we are not destined to be father and daughter..." He spoke softly, as if all his strength had been drained away.
After Meng Zhengcheng finished speaking, he turned away, leaving Mrs. Meng and others standing there confused.
Meng Yulan was in pain and clear-headed. She knew that her father had given up on her. At this point, she had no way to defend herself and could only die to express her determination.
At night, Meng Yulan washed and dressed, and solemnly put on the set of embroidered clothes she had bought for herself.
Orchid - elegant, noble, steadfast and unyielding. She used to be a person who strictly disciplined herself with her reputation, but she did not expect that money would tarnish her indifference to fame and fortune, which led to disaster. She hoped that she could use death to clear her grievances.
Meng Yulan wrote a last poem, "Innocence", "I am not afraid of life and death to prove my innocence, and my heart remains unchanged despite the turmoil of the world. Even if my body turns to ashes, my righteous spirit will remain in the world. I am fearless on the road to the underworld, and I am calm behind the Yinshan Mountains. I wish to spend my whole life serving my country and leave a good name in the world."
She calmly hung herself with a three-foot-long white silk and hanged herself.
The next day, Jin Xin found Meng Yulan's body. She was so frightened that she felt that she had killed this gentle and quiet second young lady. She felt so guilty that she banged her head against the pillar in Meng Yulan's room and died.
When Meng Zhengcheng received the news that Meng Yulan had committed suicide, he felt much more relieved than sad. After Chang Sui presented Meng Yulan's "Fu of Innocence", he also reported the news that Jin Xin had died for her master, and he was even more relieved.
He ordered the steward to arrange to spread the story of Meng Yulan and her servant committing suicide to prove their innocence and the "Fu of Innocence", saying that the second Miss Meng's private seal was lost and sold by the family servant for money, and then redeemed by the playboy, which led to this disaster.
Meng Zhengcheng punished An De and An Fu according to his family rules, and used this as an explanation to restore the family's reputation. In addition, he asked the steward to send someone to investigate who was behind the destruction of the Meng family's reputation.
The Meng family held a simple funeral for Meng Yulan. At Meng Yulan's mourning hall, Meng Zhengcheng shed a few hypocritical tears. He also adopted Jinxin as his adopted daughter and buried her with Meng Yulan.
With this poem "Fu of Innocence", Meng Zhengcheng thought that the reputation of the Meng family should be preserved.
Meng Yulan's loyalty and Meng Zhengcheng's personal guidance greatly changed the public opinion environment. The "talented men" no longer talked about Miss Meng's erotica, but only sighed that she was a talented and heroic woman who was chaste and loyal.
Xiao Yueshan felt distressed when she heard this. She remembered a topic she had seen on a certain website before: "Can an ancient man marry a rich lady by destroying the reputation of an aristocratic woman?"
The answer at that time was no. Now it seems that it is indeed impossible to marry above one's reach, but it was enough to force this innocent woman to lose her life and prove her point with her own body.
This poem "Fu of Innocence" reached Yang Wanfan's ears, and he silently recited the verses of this destined lady over and over again.
"I am not afraid on the road to the underworld, and I am calm behind the Yinshan Mountains." What a brave and fearless woman with many talents! They could have stayed together forever.
Yang Wanfan was troubled by this pain every day. He felt guilty for not being able to help this desperate woman. If he could have informed the Meng family in time, the Yang family would still be willing to fulfill the marriage contract. Then, would Meng Yulan not have committed suicide?
He felt that his heart was swallowed by endless sadness and despair, as if the whole world had lost its color. On that lonely night, he wandered alone in the silence, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.
Those proud and unyielding poems became sharp blades that pierced his soul, lingering in his mind like a shadow, making him unable to let go. The ridicule and sympathy in reality made him exhausted and unable to face the future.
Yang Wanfan's mother could not withstand the successive blows of her son's unhappy marriage and died.
After losing his loving mother, Yang Wanfan was completely despaired.
Finally, in extreme pain, Yang Wanfan took care of his mother's funeral and made a decisive decision - to commit suicide.
He picked up a sharp knife with trembling hands and lightly cut his wrist... Blood gushed out instantly, dripping onto the "Fu of Innocence" he had copied.
Yang Wanfan slowly closed his eyes, feeling the vitality gradually draining away from his body. At this moment, all the pain and troubles seemed to have left him, leaving only tranquility.
The sensational scandal of Miss Meng Er's brothel erotic music finally faded from people's sight with the death of four lives.
