After Meng Jinyao heard this, her eyes suddenly widened in shock: "Is he the Prince of Wu'an?"

Seeing this, Princess Jingning was a little confused. She glanced at her in confusion, nodded and replied, "Yes, he is Prince Wu'an, what's wrong?"

Meng Jinyao frowned. Her mother-in-law had told her eldest sister-in-law before that the family environment in Wu Anbo's house was complicated. Normal ladies would not want to marry into it and suffer the consequences. There were many troubles. Judging from eldest sister-in-law's reaction that day, she should have completely given up on marrying Wu Anbo. Why did Gu Xuanyi swim in the lake with Prince Wu'an because of the government's plan to get married? Could it be that Gu Xuanyi and Prince Wu An looked at each other and then went out in private?

Song Xinning saw something was wrong with her, thought something had happened, and asked with concern: "Ayao, what's wrong?"

Hearing the sound, Meng Jinyao came back to her senses and shook her head slightly. After all, it was a family matter, related to the reputation of the girl's family. It was not easy to publicize it even to good friends, so she said: "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered some family matters. We just talked about it." Where is it? Continue the topic just now."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Song Xinning didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was her family matter and it was inconvenient to tell her friends. It must be something important that couldn't be told to anyone else.

On the contrary, Princess Jingning asked: "Is it related to my mother's family?"

Meng Jinyao smiled: "No, I don't care about my mother's family's affairs. Except for my second brother, they can do whatever they like, and they won't pay attention to what I say anyway."

If it’s not your mother’s family, then it’s your husband’s family.

Princess Song Xinning and Princess Jingning showed a look of understanding. It was even more inconvenient to talk about her husband's family's affairs to the outside world, otherwise she would offend her husband's family, and her family was unreliable, which would make Ayao's life difficult in the future.

Song Xinning suddenly said: "Ayao, speaking of your mother's family, I remembered something. Do you know about it?"

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao suddenly remembered what she asked Nanny Qiao and Chan'er to do. She narrowed her eyes slightly, still pretending not to know: "What happened to my mother's family? What happened? I haven't paid attention to them for a long time. ”

Song Xinning replied: "I heard that Yongchang's residence is haunted. Your stepmother, Mrs. Sun, invited the mage to come back and open an altar to practice Dharma. Yesterday, the mage opened an altar in the mansion."

Meng Jinyao knew about this, but she didn't want to make it public. Not only were two friends present, but there were also several maids. Even if there were no maids present, it was still not appropriate to make it public until the matter was completed. The fewer people who knew the secret, the safer it would be. It's not that I don't trust my friends, it's just that there are times when things slip up when talking.

She pretended to be surprised: "Is my parents' house haunted?"

Song Xinning nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it came from Yongchang Uncle's Mansion. I heard that several people saw a ghost, and it was a female ghost. Your stepmother also saw it. She was so frightened that she invited the mage to come back. Exorcise ghosts.”

Meng Jinyao was stunned: "I don't know about this."

Princess Jingning suddenly became excited and asked curiously: "Are there really ghosts? Are there really ghosts in this world?"

Song Xinning pondered for a while, and replied with a certain tone: "Whether there are ghosts in the world or not, it's hard to say, but seeing how the Yongchang Mansion is like this, I guess there are real ghosts. If a person sees ghosts, it might be an illusion. But if several people see ghosts, they can’t all be hallucinations.”

Princess Jingning nodded in agreement, looked at Meng Jinyao, and said happily: "That's really scary. Fortunately A-Yao is married, otherwise living in a haunted house would be really scary."

"I usually don't do anything bad, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night." Meng Jinyao raised the corners of her mouth, smiled brightly, and said unhurriedly, "I have never done anything bad, so I am not afraid of these things. But my stepmother, I don't know if she has. It’s a shame that I provoked the ghosts.”

Princess Jingning nodded again: "Yes, we A-Yao are aboveboard and aboveboard, so we are not afraid of ghosts. If ghosts want to harm people, they are also harming the bad people who have harmed them. They seek out the bad people to take their lives."

Song Xinning added: "I don't know if that mage is powerful enough to drive away ghosts."

Meng Jinyao's smile deepened and she said slowly: "You should have some information, otherwise you won't be paid to do things. Whether the ghosts can be completely eliminated depends on whether the magician's skill is enough. If this skill is not enough, exorcism can only be done temporarily. .”

"Then I hope the mage's skills are not strong enough." Song Xinning said and chuckled, "It seems a bit unethical for me to do this, but for people like Sun, it's better to let the ghosts scare you more."

Meng Jinyao glared at her: "You, but I like you."

Song Xinning chuckled, and then said after a moment: "By the way, there is one more thing, which is also about your mother's family."

Meng Jinyao asked: "What's the matter?"

Song Xinning looked gloating and said in a brisk tone: "Your father has a beautiful concubine. She is very beautiful and is very popular with your father. Because your stepmother is so damned, he doesn't stay with your stepmother at night and stays there every night. In the concubine's house, your stepmother was so angry that she sold the beautiful concubine directly, saying that the beautiful concubine was a fox. When your father came home one day, he found that the beautiful concubine had been sold, and he was furious. Angry, I had a fight with your stepmother and said she was jealous."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao was slightly startled. She didn't pay attention to her father's affairs. She heard Chan'er mention it, but she was not interested. Chan'er didn't say much. She only wanted to take revenge and only focused on whether Aunt Qiao Work hard.

Song Xinning clicked her tongue twice: "I really didn't expect that although your father has a concubine, he cares most about your stepmother, and now he is quarreling with your stepmother over a concubine."

Meng Jinyao raised the corner of her mouth and smiled mockingly: "Maybe I really liked it when I was young. As I get older and my love fades, I will definitely prefer concubines who are gentle, carefree, young and beautiful. Besides, my father can let my stepmother pawn. He also gave me the money for my biological mother’s dowry, which shows that he doesn’t love my stepmother much, he only loves himself.

Now my stepmother has no dowry, so she can only rely on my father, and she cannot be strong-willed. My father will not worry too much. After all, in the end, my stepmother must have tried every means to seek peace. Otherwise, my father would not like her and would directly terminate her marriage. It is possible to follow her monthly routine. "

As soon as these words came out, Song Xinning and Princess Jingning were silent.

As a married woman, the dowry is her confidence. If she doesn’t have this confidence, she won’t be able to be strong-willed in her husband’s family. If her husband loves her and her father-in-law and mother-in-law are kind, it’s okay. Otherwise, she will just rely on her husband’s family to live, even buying a piece of jewelry. You can't just buy whatever you want. Sun loses this confidence and has no dowry to subsidize her daily expenses. When the husband and wife are at odds, life will be much more miserable.

Therefore, as long as parents love their daughters, they will try their best to prepare as much dowry as possible for their daughters. Firstly, they can gain face in the husband's family, and secondly, they can provide their daughter with a living security so that she will not starve to death even if she does not rely on her husband's family. After all, Relying solely on the words of her husband's family, when she fell out of favor, she didn't even have the money to take care of her servants, let alone the popular ones.
