078 Questions from past lives
The square little room is left with only a closed window. The small window is much shorter than the height of a normal person. Three thick hemp ropes, black, red and blue, hang down beside the window.
Chen Biyue reached out and pulled the blue rope, and the small window opened with a click.
The view outside the window is narrow and tricky. You can only see the center of the venue below, and you cannot see the window locations of other private rooms. Only by sticking your head out can you see all private rooms at a glance and let others see themselves clearly.
"My little master, that person was not the third young master just now." Gao Pang's servant looked hesitant for a long time. He waited until the servant who came in to deliver tea and fruit and snacks closed the door and left, and finally couldn't hold back his words.
Hearing him deliberately lowering his voice, Chen Biyue felt funny, "Mengba, you don't have to be so cautious. All the doors and windows in Tianze Hall are constructed in a special way and can isolate the sound. As long as you close the doors and windows, you can't hear the movement inside outside."
Although Mengba dared not relax at all, "Little master, that man is definitely a fake third son. The villain has been in the Meng family since he was a child. Although the third son left home very early, the villain still recognizes the appearance of the third son."
"I know he is not."
The three of them were stunned and looked at each other. Mengba said again, "Since the little master knows, why didn't he expose him just now?"
Chen Biyue asked back, "What if I have exposed him? Let's find the government to arrest him? Don't forget that this is Tianze Hall, and outsiders are not allowed to be presumptuous, not to mention that the man is using the title of the Prince of Meng's Mansion."
Meng Ba was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was anxious and thought it was inappropriate, and said embarrassedly: "The villain was afraid that the man would have bad intentions. He was given the title of the third young master. If it was for the Meng family, then..."
He didn't say it, but she understood what he meant. The man wouldn't have come for the Meng family. If it were, he would have acted long ago and he wouldn't have to wait until now, and he could still be so thrill now in Tianze Hall.
Before the bidding began, Chen Biyue pulled down the red rope and closed the window, walked slowly back to the table and sat sideways, gently putting one arm on the edge of the table, looking like she was about to talk for a long time.
"I'll just ask you one question. Do you know the third uncle?"
Meng Ba hesitated for a moment, "The villain knows not much about the third son. He only heard from the Duke of the State that the third son was a ghost since childhood, extremely rebellious, and did not listen to domestication. He was a complete demon king in the world."
"My grandfather is naughty and always likes to say something against his will, but being able to say this means that my third uncle is also a powerful person." Chen Biyue paused when she said this, with her lips curled slightly.
"The people of the Meng family are not fools, so are the third uncle. He has been educated since childhood and is rampant and unruly. How could he let outsiders walk around with his name casually and have the opportunity to harm the Meng family? Judging from the man's performance just now, he acted high-profile and was not afraid of being exposed at all. It shows that he should have been in Tianzetang for a while because of his status. The identity of the third prince of the Meng family has always attracted attention. Even if the third uncle was wandering outside since childhood, no matter how he was invisible and turned a deaf ear to the outside world, he would hear some rumors."
Meng Ba said in surprise: "What the little master means is, the third young master knows that person?"
Chen Biyue shook her head, "I'm not sure, this matter is related to the reputation of the Meng family. No matter how unrestrained the third uncle acts, his grandfather will not indulge him in such a way. If this matter is not done well, it will allow those who are interested to take the opportunity to discredit the Meng family's customs. You have also seen it just now. He is an acquaintance of Tianzetang. With Tianzetang's methods, how could he not find out the authenticity of his identity? The only explanation is that the Meng family covered up his identity for him."
Meng Wei was so shocked that he was speechless this time, and he stumblingly said: "But the villain has been with the Duke for a long time and has never heard of it."
Chen Biyue glanced at him, "These are just my guesses. Only the parties involved know what the inside story is. We are not convenient to speculate without authorization. You just need to know that the name of the third son of the Meng family is not so easy to borrow."
They were worried about the man and felt uneasy. Chen Biyue's words were a reassurance to give them a clear mind. All they could do about other things was shut up.
Mengba and the other two looked at each other for a moment, and immediately lowered their heads and said, "The villain should not know about today's affairs."
Chen Biyue didn't say anything, but just smiled faintly and walked back to the small window.
The window had been closed by her and she could not hear the movement outside.
She was sure that the person who pretended to be Meng Wei was Shao Yan.
Just confirming this, there are more questions that come with it.
She never remembers the intersection between the two, King Shao Yan and Meng’s mansion.
Even in her previous life, when she turned to Meng Lian for help for Shao Yuan, she never heard him mention King Yu. She only knew that more than a year after she returned to the Shen Mansion of Yong'an, she heard the news that King Yu died of illness.
Meng Wei must have known about Shao Yan borrowing Meng Wei's identity. With the few contacts she had with her third uncle in her previous life, she also found out some of his temperament.
Others have always been outside and rarely come back, but they know the secrets of the Yong'an palaces, the court situation, and the matters in the deep palaces. Those strange and unpredictable thoughts and scheming are no less than Shao Yan.
Meng Wei knew about it, and his grandfather must have known it. So is the reason why the Meng family and Shao Yan went privately for a long time related to the secret he hid?
Otherwise, my grandfather would not have been able to keep her from being with her for so long in her previous life.
And she had some words just now, but she didn't finish her sentence with Meng Ba.
It is true that Shao Yan replaced Meng Wei's identity, but Tianzetang attaches great importance to the protection of the identity of the guest. How could he call him Meng Sanye in front of outsiders? It only means that this was intentional, and intentionally let people know that Meng Wei appeared in Tianzetang, and he was Meng Wei.
It is a fact that the Meng family covers up their identity for Shao Yan. So does it mean that Tianzetang and the Meng family are also related?
She fell into deep thought, and at this time a click came from the small window, and a layer of secret frame popped up, awakening her thoughts.
A stack of thick red paper strips and grinded pens and ink are placed in the dark grid. At the same time, the window automatically opens, slowly revealing the scene outside.
She reorganized her thoughts and focused her attention out the window, and the bidding was about to begin.
A huge square, four-legged round table with iron pear wood was placed in the center of the venue below, and a thick layer of red velvet cloth was covered with.
The beautiful girl with a white veil was standing in front of the round table, with her eyebrows and eyes curled, "Little girl Xu Niang, I have seen all the distinguished guests. I believe you should be ready. Today's bidding starts with a thousand taels of silver, and the red pen and ink has been delivered to you. Please exhibit it!"

Tianzetang's transitional plot may not be as exciting as before. I wonder if Niu Niu will like it or not
But I’m reminding me that there will be many clues related to the subsequent plot in Tianzetang!
