Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story
Chapter 162 Zhang Yinhang
Dong and Meng Da ran out, but the fat pig that Wu Liang had brought back could not run away. They ran for several streets breathlessly and finally blocked the fat pig in a dead end. With the help of neighbors, the fat pig was tied up and transported back home.
The neighbors followed in and saw Mei Yingying in the courtyard. Someone asked, "Madam Dong, who is this?"
"My son's new wife."
Mei Yingying stammered, but unfortunately her mouth was blocked by a handkerchief and she couldn't say anything.
"Why are you tying it up?"
"Oh, my son doesn't like it, so I might as well sell it and buy a new one."
Mrs. Dong did not dare to tell others that Mei Yingying was unlucky in marriage, fearing that others would dislike her and not be able to sell her.
"It's perfect. Everyone is here. Whoever wants to buy it can take it home immediately for ten taels of silver. The deed can be signed today. If you don't want to buy it, you can pawn it back to be a concubine."
As she spoke, Mrs. Dong moved Mei Yingying's face back and forth, "Look at her face, so delicate and tender, and her figure is so nice, she could be a bed-warming concubine."
Mei Yingying felt extremely humiliated. She felt like an animal, wanting to be scrutinized by others.
At this time, a man came out from the crowd. It was Wang Feng, Meng Da's gambling buddy in the gambling house. He took a few steps forward, approached Meng Da, and whispered,
"Brother Meng, your wife looks good. Don't sell her casually. I will find a good buyer for you and guarantee she will sell for a good price."
"What buyer?"
Wang Feng looked around and said, "There are so many people here, I'll talk to you when there's no one around."
"Row."
Meng Da agreed immediately, thanked the neighbors with Mrs. Dong, sent them away, and called Wang Feng into the house, "Brother Wang, go ahead."
Wang Feng whispered, "Have you heard of Zhang Yinhang, the Minister of the Central Secretariat?"
Meng Da shook his head, "High official? I don't know."
Dong had heard of it, "I know, Mr. Wang, what happened to this man?"
"I heard he likes a certain type of woman and has bought many of them to hide away. I think your wife looks quite similar to the type he likes. You can sell her to him. If he wants her, he'll definitely give you a high price."
Dong and Meng were tempted. "But we don't know this gentleman. How can we sell it to him?"
"Don't worry, I can connect you. Just wait for me for two or three days."
"Row."
Wang Feng left and went back to look for buyers.
Speaking of which, this was quite a coincidence. Zhao Yuanqing and others planned to first arrange a suitable identity for Mei Yingying, and then by chance, send Mei Yingying to Zhang Yinhang.
But their news was delayed. What they didn't expect was that Mei Lingyue had already become Zhang Yinhang's inner demon, and he could not forget her at all in the past nine years. Therefore, he bought an outer house without telling his wife, and bought many women who looked like Mei Lingyue and secretly placed them there.
Zhang Yinhang is now a fourth-rank Zhongshu Shilang. His wife is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites. Forced by his father-in-law's official position, Zhang Yinhang has never dared to make trouble in front of his wife. He can only do it secretly and send his confidants to brothels and human traffickers to find someone who looks like Mei Lingyue.
Wang Feng was one of the subordinates. His eyes lit up when he saw Mei Yingying for the first time. This person looked very much like the person in the portrait given by Lord Zhang. It was another extra income for him.
This was an unexpected success. Fan Shiyi Niang and Meng Jiu had been wandering around Chang'an City in the past few days, hoping to send Mei Yingying in. Unexpectedly, a pillow appeared when they were dozing off, saving them the trouble.
Fan Shiyi Niang followed Wang Feng and met Zhang Yinhang's confidant Ma Cheng. She reported Mei Yingying to him and Ma Cheng readily agreed. "Send her here first and let the master take a look. If she's okay, you can take her. The price is still one hundred taels. If not, you can return her."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Brother Ma."
Fan Shiyi Niang was surprised and happy. She didn't expect to meet Zhang Yinhang so soon. She discussed it with Meng Jiu, and the two of them secretly went to meet Mei Yingying.
Mei Yingying was locked up in the woodshed by Dong and Meng Da. Meng Jiu was on guard while Fan Shiyi Niang sneaked in.
When Mei Yingying saw her, she immediately opened her eyes wide in surprise and started to hum. Fan Shiyi Niang took the handkerchief from her mouth and whispered,
"Dong and Meng Da are about to sell you to Zhang Yinhang. You must be prepared and don't expose yourself."
Mei Yingying nodded.
"Don't be afraid, we will definitely help you."
Mei Yingying nodded again.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. Remember, the more natural your acting is, the less likely Zhang Yinhang will doubt you. If you really can't act, just be yourself."
"Yes, thank you, auntie."
"Dong and Meng Da, I will deal with them later, it is not advisable to move now."
Mei Yingying shook her head. "No, I'll deal with them myself when we're done."
"Okay, be careful."
Fan Shiyi Niang touched Mei Yingying's shoulder, stuffed her handkerchief into her pocket, and left quietly.
Ma Cheng returned to Zhang's house and went to the study to tell Zhang Yinhang, "Sir, Ruyifang has new jewelry."
This was a secret code between the master and servant. They never mentioned any related words in the mansion, but replaced them all with secret codes. Therefore, the fact that Zhang Yinhang had set up a house outside was never discovered by his wife, Mrs. Qiao.
"How's the quality?"
"I heard it's good."
Zhang Yinhang put down the paintbrush in his hand and looked at the red plum blossoms on the rice paper. They were as red as blood, just like the box that Mei Lingyue had someone send him nine years ago. When he opened it, it was also as bright red.
Back then, Zhang Yinhang lied to Mei Lingyue. He said that he had never liked her and that he got engaged to her just to follow his family's arrangements, but that was not the case.
At that time, Zhang Yinhang was twenty-one years old, at the age of youth and admiration, and Mei Lingyue was a young woman praised by everyone in Chang'an. She was very fair, gentle and beautiful. How could he not like her?
To this day, Zhang Yinhang still can't forget Mei Lingyue's fair and smooth skin. Nine years have passed, and he has seen many women, but he has never seen such fair and smooth skin. The more women he meets, the more he misses Mei Lingyue.
If possible, he also wanted to keep Mei Lingyue, but he couldn't. This was a plan made by his family. Since they planned to overthrow the Mei family, they had to wipe out the roots. Mei Lingyue was pregnant with his child, so she couldn't be kept. His child must not be born in the official prostitute camp.
Sure enough, after he provoked and threatened Mei Lingyue, Mei Lingyue hanged herself.
The Qinzhou official prostitute camp was located on the Zhang family's territory. Zhang Yinhang soon got the news and felt lost. It was a pity that such a good woman died. It would be fine to hide her secretly and keep her as a concubine.
But soon someone asked to see him, saying that Mei Lingyue had left him something that he had to open with his own hands.
Zhang Yinhang thought that Mei Lingyue could not forget their old love, so he went to see the man with full of regret. The man handed him a box and said that the thing was inside.
Zhang Yinhang opened the box, looked at it carefully, and suddenly screamed, throwing the box to the ground, "Ah! Blood! Blood!"
The visitor sneered, "Mr. Zhang, what are you afraid of? This is your own child!"
"You, you, you, catch him for me!"
The man, who had some martial arts skills, walked away laughing, shouting, "Master Zhang, this is your eldest son. You killed him with your own hands. You must remember this clearly!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yinhang was even more remorseful and frightened. After all, he was only twenty-one years old and had not yet cultivated a shameless and vicious heart. Looking at the bloody fetal remains on the ground, he screamed and turned over.
After the Zhang family arrived, they hurriedly picked up the things on the ground and went to check on Zhang Yinhang.
Zhang Yinhang felt like he was being chased by an evil spirit and had nightmares for many days. It was not until the Zhang family found a few shamans and gave him a few bowls of talisman water that he felt better.
The Zhang family was furious and anxious. "How dare a prostitute's fetus claim to be the bloodline of our Zhang family? How dare she!"
The Zhang family became ruthless and hired people to deal with the Mei family. Soon, Mei Lingyue's mother was forced to entertain customers and committed suicide. Mei Yingying and her grandmother did not escape either and were tortured terribly.
This was done by Mei Lingyue's mother, Ouyang. After Mei Lingyue hanged herself, Ouyang sat holding Mei Lingyue's body for half the night. When they just came in, there were a few people willing to help them.
Ouyang personally cut open Mei Lingyue's belly, placed the unborn fetus in a wooden box, and asked someone to send it to Zhang Yinhang. His biological son had died, so he must see him once.
Afterwards, Ouyang was forced to hit his head against the wall and died.
Although the Zhang family dealt with the Mei family, Zhang Yinhang was not better off. After a period of depression, Zhang Yinhang developed a problem: he could not stand the sight of blood. He even began to faint at the sight of blood.
After all, it was his eldest son who died. Men value their eldest sons very much. Mei Lingyue and that eldest son gradually became Zhang Yinhang's inner demons. He wanted to replicate them in another woman. As long as he found someone similar and let her give birth to a son, it seemed that he could make up for Mei Lingyue.
