Chapter 2: Stepmother Comes to the Door
According to Ke Mei, my body is named Xiao Mengyao, the daughter of Xiao Henan, Xiao Cheng, Prime Minister Xiao and his first wife, was loved by thousands of people, but his wife died of excessive blood loss due to dystocia after giving birth to herself, and the original owner of the body climbed a tree at the age of six at the instigation of a group of maids, fell from the tree and fell to her head, and has been stupid ever since. Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was furious and sent down a group of instigated maids, leaving only Kemei, who was arranged by his original wife Lin, to take care of Xiao Mengyao, and in order to protect his daughter, he did not let her attend any activities.
Not long after, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng raised Aunt Chen as his second wife for the Gu family, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the Chen family at that time was full of blessings. Everyone only remembers that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's family has a son and a daughter-in-law, and Gu Zhiyao in front of him only knows Xiao Nanlian, the daughter born to Prime Minister Xiao's second wife, and does not know this Xiao Mengyao. But according to Zhi Yao's memory, Xiao Nanlian is not a good person to be with.
In my memory, I used to pretend to be gentle and kind to make friends with the daughters of civil officials, and I liked to pretend to be weak in front of all kinds of noble children to win favor, if it wasn't for the chance to see her beating and scolding her subordinates, I would really be blinded. And his sister-in-law, Xiao Xiqin, is a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, and he has not had a serious official position in the court so far. If Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is a hundred years later, he still doesn't know how the Xiao family will be ruined.
Since I have encroached on other people's bodies, I am Xiao Mengyao from now on, and naturally I have to help the original owner's family. What's more, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is a rare virtuous official, and when the Gu family had an accident, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng said good things in front of the emperor, but it was a pity that it was .......
The noisy sound outside the door interrupted Xiao Mengyao's thoughts, and she saw that the mother who had just been beaten followed behind a noble lady with low eyebrows, and a large family of maids. Looking at the posture, it was the second wife Chen, for some reason Xiao Mengyao was very unhappy when she saw the person in front of her, and looked straight at the Chen family and his party coming in, and for a while, the originally large room was instantly very small.
"Presumptuous, I don't bow when I see the housewife" I saw the personal maid next to Chen's scolding Xiao Mengyao arrogantly.
"Qing'er, don't be rude" After saying it lightly, she took Xiao Mengyao's hand affectionately and said with a look of relief: "Yao'er, you finally woke up, your mother has been thinking about your body, and now that you are fine, a hanging heart can be regarded as letting go, come and tell your mother what is uncomfortable in your body?" ”
"I just woke up, my body is fine, but I don't remember my previous memories at all after falling into the water" Xiao Mengyao moved out the reason for fooling the maid just now in order to prevent the Chen family in front of her from suspecting.
Hearing this, Chen's face showed a slight hint of joy, if Xiao Mengyao hadn't been paying attention to Chen, it would probably be difficult to notice. Because soon Chen Shi said with a more worried look: "I'll order someone to find a doctor for you to see, how can you do it without memory." ”
"It's not in the way, I used to be stupid and stay at home, and I guess what I forgot was not an important memory. My daughter is tired and wants to rest again. ”
How could Chen be willing to leave if his other goal was not achieved, and said with a motherly face: "I just learned from Wang Ma that you woke up, and you are too, why did you put such a heavy hand on the old slave in the house, if your father knew it, it would be angry with you." ”
"Auntie, this is for me to connive at the slaves who rely on the old and sell the old? I'm also the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion anyway, and even a subordinate can still bully me, wouldn't I feel that the housewife was derelict or deliberate if I wanted to spread it. Besides, I saw that her old man had been in the house for many years, so I left her a cheap life, and I never thought that I would dare to make trouble in front of my eldest mother, and I ran to train me. Xiao Mengyao's tone was gentle, but her words were reasonable, and she couldn't find anything wrong at all.
"Ah Yao, what are you talking about, how can the eldest mother let her subordinates bully you, right?" Chen said with a sad face.
Seeing that A-Yao had no intention of answering, she turned to Wang Ma and scolded: "You slave maid can't imagine that your mind is so vicious, since you are still bullying your master, come here, pull it down and whip it ten times to make an example." ”
Where did Wang Ma expect to be beaten twice a day, scared the six gods and no owner, and was soon carried out by the subordinates to receive the punishment, and soon there was the sound of whipping and Wang Ma crying and crying for mercy, and the yard was not lively for a while.
"The eldest mother turned out to be deceived by her subordinates, and Ah Yao was stupid and almost misunderstood the eldest mother, so she can't make amends here" The words were sincere.
The eldest mother's face was slightly happy when she heard this, and she left with a few words of concern and a group of slaves.
Ke Mei looked at the eldest mother leaving and the queen mother was beaten to only half a life, and was very happy to help Meng Yao back to bed to rest and said: "Miss, fortunately, the master mother is kind and kind, willing to teach the queen mother a lesson for the young lady, give us a bad breath, the young lady just replied to the main mother's words is really majestic, I have never seen the young lady so reasoned before."
At this moment, Meng Yao lay on the bed and was uneasy: "How can my eldest mother really think about me, the concubine who hinders the status of her children, the Chen family is not as gentle and virtuous as she seems on the surface, and she doesn't know how many evil intentions she has hidden in her heart." If the royal mother is not supported by a powerful person behind her, how dare she bully me, just now my eldest mother must also want to try my bottom, and then stand up to me, how can I blindly be weak and bullied, but now I am isolated in the house, and there is no other way than to play a good mother and son filial piety with this human-faced beast-hearted mother to stabilize her. ”
"Then why don't we wait for the master to come back and talk about it, the master has always cherished the young lady the most" Ke Mei looked worried.
"My father is in an official position, how can I have so much leisure to protect me all the time, it is better to ask for others than for myself, and the status of the Chen family in the mansion is not something that can be shaken by one or two small things. Step by step, we must make her lose credibility in front of her father, and then find out the big mistake and sue her father to kill her, otherwise rashly disobeying her will only make her vigilant, let's boil the frog in warm water. ”
"It's all up to Miss." But the eyebrows replied respectfully.
"Your injuries can't be delayed, there's nothing wrong with me, you hurry up and rub the medicine, don't accidentally leave a scar, retreat" After speaking, Meng Yao closed her eyes and looked like she was resting.
After retreating respectfully, Meng Yao opened her eyes and looked at the roof, she was worried, and she couldn't imagine that she was reborn and entered another Longtan tiger's den, and the days to come will be even more step-by-step, hoping that she can be safe and smooth in this life, and then clear up the grievances of the Gu family, and the road is long.
At the dinner table, looking at the concubine who woke up and was no longer stupid, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng looked relieved, and the joy at the dinner table was even more overflowing. Lian Lian and Meng Yao talked a lot, and when they saw that A-Yao was polite and answered, they couldn't help but show their old father's honest smile, and there was laughter and laughter at the dinner table for a while, and the family was very harmonious and happy in the eyes of outsiders.
"My father is really eccentric, Sister Ayao is not as knowledgeable as Sister Nanlian, and she brings glory to the family everywhere, and I don't necessarily have my father so happy." Xi Qin held back for so long and finally couldn't hold it anymore, looking at Meng Yao with an unkind face.
For a while, the dinner table was unusually quiet.
"Qin'er, Hugh is talking nonsense, how can you say that about your father." Seeing Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's displeasure, Chen hurriedly came out to play a round.
Xiao Henan sneered: "My father usually indulges you too much, so that you dare to be so disobedient to your elders now, and your father is not less worried about your future on weekdays, if you have half of Nanlian, let me worry, and I won't let my father's mantle be inherited so far." ”
"Husband, what are you talking about, Xi Qin is still young, as long as he teaches him carefully, he will definitely have a lot to do in the future" Chen is willing to let his son lose face in front of Meng Yao.
