Chapter 282: Duty
Ping's mother listened to Mrs. Meng's words and thought deeply, some little girls have flexible brains and are spoiled by their parents, they don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and it is dangerous to do things recklessly, and after rolling her eyes, she said, "Madam, it's not appropriate to tell Mrs. Aunt directly, but you can remind her tactfully, let her not get too close to Miss Dong, Mrs. Dong is heavy, Miss Dong's young girl's family, it is inevitable that she will like incense with flower dew and the like, and what is accidentally smoked that day Pregnant women can't smell it is troublesome if you don't know, Mrs. only reminds Mrs. Aunt that the heart of harm is not to have, and the heart of prevention is indispensable, rather than making any unclear misunderstandings, it is better to take precautions from the beginning, in addition, the old slave is cheeky and admonishes himself, and goes to see his aunt once every two days to see if Miss Dong really has any thoughts, or she can start from the people around her, and only then can she get stolen goods and never suffer in the future. β
"Mom is right, only when you get the stolen goods can you nail that girl to death, otherwise it will only be locked up for two days, and you can come out and continue to calculate others if you admit your mistake." Mrs. Meng only felt that it was true that one person was short and two people were long, so she told Ping's mother to let it go, and she went to her daughter to talk to see what kind of eye medicine this Miss Dong could give her daughter.
Ping's mother went to Dong's house with a gift, but when she came back, her face was discouraged.
This look made Mrs. Meng's heart startled, could it be that something had happened, and anxiously grabbed Ping's mother's hand and asked, "Ping's mother, what's wrong?" β
Mother Ping looked at Mrs. Meng's anxious appearance, she didn't dare to swallow, and forced a laugh: "Don't worry, madam, my aunt and the fetus are fine." β
These words made Mrs. Meng's heart drop half, but she was relieved, looked at Ping's mother's strange face, and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Ping's mother hesitated and said, "The Dong family and the Liang family are married. Miss Dong promised the third son of the Liang family...... It is Mrs. Hu's maiden family, the Liang family. β
"What?" Mrs. Meng was furious, she really underestimated the little girl surnamed Dong, and actually climbed up to Mrs. Hu with this method, does she want to use the Hu family to continue to harm her daughter or do you want to disgust the Meng family? Knowing that the Hu family and the Meng family are now rivals, they are still like this.
Ping's mother lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound.
Madame Monte walked a few steps around the room and asked, "Is it officially decided?" Is there any room for return? My sister is now pregnant, so let her talk to Master Dong. Push this family business. said that he didn't know what the Hu family had done before, and Mrs. Hu didn't dare to say anything. β
"This family affair is decided by my aunt's wife." Mother Ping didn't dare to look at Mrs. Meng's face, and her voice was very small. "Miss Dong is still not happy, she has made a fuss and is now locked up, I heard that the identity and status of this second son of Liang are mediocre."
"Didn't the dead girl get it herself?" Mrs. Meng was stunned for a moment, she didn't know much about the Liang family. I only feel that the family is a little worse than the Hu family, but it is not an ordinary person. has a lot of family background, otherwise Mrs. Hu can't be so tough in the Hu family, such a family is a good match for the Dong family.
Ping's mother gritted her teeth and said: "It was the Liang family who asked the matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, and Miss Dong was not happy." The in-laws also felt a little unsatisfactory, but ...... The aunt caught Miss Dong's sore feet and forced her in-laws to marry Miss Dong in a short time. Or send it to the countryside, and the in-laws have to agree. β
"What sore feet?" Madame Meng frowned. Compared with who Miss Dong married, she was more concerned about what this dead girl did.
Ping's mother's face became even more ugly, and she said: "I said that when I went to see my aunt's wife, I smeared fat powder on my body that made people slippery, and later when the wind blew to the main courtyard, I sprinkled some medicinal powder in the wind." β
"Damn." Mrs. Meng cursed, "At such a young age, why are you so vicious? Speaking of which, her brother was killed by thieves, what is the matter with her sister? You can't say that my sister has treated their brothers and sisters badly all these years, right? actually did this kind of thing, said that if he did this kind of thing, the in-laws just told the protΓ©gΓ© to marry out as soon as possible? It's too unfair to my sister, no, I have to talk to my in-laws. β
"Madam......" Ping's mother said in a low voice with unbearability on her face, "Mrs. Aunt has long known that Miss Dong has bad intentions, and has been secretly spying, and has bought off Miss Dong's personal maid Bailing, and when Miss Dong is ready to sprinkle medicinal powder on the wind again, she will get all the stolen goods." β
Yes! Mrs. Meng was stunned for a long time, and it took a long time to understand Ping's mother's subtle hint.
My sister has long known that her stepdaughter has bad intentions, but she has never said it, even her own sister has hidden it, and even kept saying good things about this stepdaughter in front of her, so that Yan'er can associate with her, which is probably to lower the stepdaughter's vigilance......
Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng's heart was cold.
A sister of a mother's sibling, on the contrary, it is not as good as an outsider Meng Xiaofu who is not related by blood, no matter what the reason is, Meng Xiaofu at least reminded her that she did not take the slightest risk, and she wanted to protect her own sister? It's not that my sister has any malice, it's just that my own child is distressed, and if I want my sister's own daughter, will she know that the other party is vicious, and let her daughter have no defense against each other? Who can guess what the dead girl of the Dong family will do next? Will there be a place to frame the geese?
Thinking in the direction of being more malicious, it really made the Dong family's dead girl framed successfully, Yan'er was damaged, Master Dong took care of the loss, and he would treat his sister well, and in order to give the Meng family an explanation, he would completely solve the Dong family's dead girl
It seems that it is really like what Xiaofu said, it is more reliable to have common interests, the family of the powerful, all feelings are fake, and the real common interests are true.
Regardless of whether she has feelings for Meng Xiaofu, the titular daughter, at least each other's interests are tied together, Meng Xiaofu is now the princess, and it is not bad to treat her as a king if she has the scheming and means, that is her biggest reliance, but people will not defend you for no reason, you must also do things.
But what can she do?
Mrs. Meng thought about it for a few days, but Mrs. Quan Si came to visit, chatted a few words, and woke up the person in her dream.
Most of the princes and princesses of this dynasty are not from high backgrounds, and they are not all civilian women, such as the third princess, the daughter of Zhu Taiwei, but her biological mother died early, she grew up with her grandparents since she was a child, and she is not very close to her parents.
The fifth princess is directly the granddaughter of her parents who do not have any official position, and there is a famous Confucian in this dynasty.
The new wife of the sixth prince is prominent, but she is a princess of a different race.
There are also some holy decrees to marry the princes and princes of the county most of the women are not obvious, and later some of the important ministers and nobles of the court also figured out the emperor's temper, before the succession was too fierce and bloody, of course, there are the reasons why the first emperor is old and confused, but there are also strong relatives, those princesses and concubines are all prominent, and the success of the heir is the emperor's father-in-law, the grandfather of the next emperor, it may not be easy to be crowned king, but it is appropriate to seal a hereditary prince and the like, not to mention countless glory, It's really hard to resist this temptation, why not fight with all your might?
Even now, there is still a King Shen that makes the emperor jealous, fortunately, Princess Shen's family suffered heavy losses in the battle of Yunzhou, otherwise there is still a commotion, the emperor intentionally or unintentionally wants to reduce the strength of the princes and princes, so that they will not be able to fight again in his lifetime, at least not openly.
And in this case, the princesses' mothers have to clamp their tails and behave even more, they can't help their daughters, and it's their duty not to make any more trouble.
Mrs. Meng felt that it was very reasonable, with Meng Ye's current official position, what could their family do? Isn't it just to keep his duty, otherwise people will find faults, but this matter is not simple now, Meng Ye has not turned a corner until now, or the man looks strong on the surface, but he is not as good as a woman, he also fantasizes that one day he can be reinstated as a majestic general, and he does not look at himself now, where is there still the appearance of being a general, drinking and having fun all day long, and he has the feeling that one day is a day, and his body is about to collapse.
Even so, there are still some sycophants who stare at it all day long, and if they don't pay attention, they don't know what to do, so it's better to take care of their hearts and watch the family more, and by the way, they can't relax on their daughter's side.
Dingwang's mansion.
Mama Wu, who came out to question the princess's words, was no longer in charge of the spice warehouse, was moved to a position, or managed the warehouse, but it was to manage the sundries, the so-called sundries are brooms, dustpans, flower hoes and other rough supplies, the level is the same, but this oil and water is greatly less, those precious spices, not to mention deduction or stealing, but those can not be put for a long time, and they can't be exchanged so much for a few months of monthly money, and the courage to buy a house and land within a year or two is not a problem, and brooms, dustpans, flower hoes and other things, no matter how bold you are, How much is it worth to smuggle out truckloads of these things every day?
Everyone's eyes are bright, the princess said that there is no incense everywhere that day, and was refuted by Wu's mother, the princess said that the incense was completely stopped, and then looked after asking the prince, but there has been no news, and the incense everywhere has been deactivated indefinitely, of course, the beauty and even the maids in the house have not been deducted, and the ones that should be sent are still issued, as for whether everyone uses it or not, it doesn't matter.
Although it doesn't matter, but the prince has not spoken, and he has not been to Linglong Garden or other places during the newlyweds, and has been resting in the main courtyard, although he has not shown affection all day long like other newlyweds, but he has not heard them talk about it, maybe the prince still likes this princess, after all, it is the eight sedan chairs that welcome the door, there were so many warblers and Yanyan before, and they did not particularly lift that, or a man like the prince is merry on the surface, but he is very disciplined in his bones, a wife is a wife, a concubine is a concubine, the difference between the abyss, Not to mention those nameless warblers and wings.
