The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Meng Jinyao suddenly asked: "By the way, where is mother and grandmother?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Sun came back to her senses and replied truthfully: "Your grandmother has not been feeling well these past two days. She didn't sleep well last night. She had breakfast and fell asleep again in the morning. She shouldn't be up yet. You can go there later." Say hello to her."

Meng Jinyao nodded and said, "Okay, let's go later."

Afterwards, Ms. Sun asked them to sit down and talk. Seeing Meng Jinyao and Gu Xiuming as a loving mother and a filial son, and the three members of the family getting along in perfect harmony, she felt weird. She didn't even know what kind of ecstasy soup Gu Jingxi and his son had been fed by her. This little bitch was really stupid. It’s not in vain that you have such a charming face that pleases men.

The flower hall was filled with women. Gu Jingxi and Gu Xiuming were men and they didn't want to stay too long. They only sat for a while and then went to the front yard.

The father and son left, and there was a moment of silence in the flower hall.

Meng Jinyao glanced at the guests present calmly. They were all not as good as Yongchang Bofu, or similar to Yongchang Bofu. These people's families had also had glory in the past, otherwise they would not have interacted with the Meng family. But everyone could The interactions between each other are nothing more than sympathy for each other. It is not easy for anyone to ridicule the other, and they can still flatter each other and maintain face, as if the situation at home is still the same as before.

For example, her grandmother's natal family used to be well off, otherwise her grandmother would not have been able to marry her grandfather, who was the son of Yongchang Bo at the time. However, after her grandmother's father passed away, the descendants gradually declined as they had no future.

The same goes for her stepmother's natal Sun family. When Sun's father was alive, the Sun family was acceptable, so Sun's dowry was also acceptable. Otherwise, how could the Meng family have let Sun use their own dowry to cover the expenses of her biological mother? A hole in dowry money? Sun's dowry can cover about 60 to 70% of the used dowry money.

However, Sun's dowry was far behind compared to her mother's dowry. Her grandfather only had one child, her mother, and almost all of his property was used as a dowry for her mother. It's no wonder that they have other ideas.

Now the Sun family is in complete decline. The Sun family's elder brother is mediocre and incompetent, and the somewhat capable younger brother died of illness. The Sun family's nephew is still studying, and his future is unknown. No one from the Sun family is an official in the government. Living off the family fortune left behind by her fathers, and claiming to be a scholarly family when she was away from home, she was just like her mediocre and incompetent father, reciting poetry and being arty with people who had no ability but had read books.

The only thing that makes her father better than others is that one of his ancestors is capable and has a hereditary title; the other is that he is related by marriage to the Changxing Marquis Mansion, and can benefit from the honor of the Marquis Mansion; as for the third one, , naturally because her father has a good face and is generous when he goes out. When he gets along with these fair-weather friends, he becomes the object of praise.

After a while, Meng Jinyao withdrew her gaze and looked at Sun. Sun had lost a lot of weight now and was very haggard. The heavy makeup and powder could not hide the fatigue on her face. Her eyes were red and bloodshot, and the crow-blue color in her eye sockets could not be concealed by makeup or powder. , but she could see traces of it, looking listless. Now she was just trying to brace herself up to deal with the guests. After all, as far as she knew, Mrs. Sun saw a ghost again last night and almost stayed up all night.

She raised her lips imperceptibly and asked with concern: "My mother looks a lot haggard, but is it related to the haunting?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to Sun. It was not that they didn't see Sun's haggard face. They could probably guess what was going on. However, because today was someone else's home court, they didn't ask, so as not to offend others. , they came here today to see if they could build a relationship, and they didn’t come to offend anyone. They didn’t expect Meng Jinyao to ask this question, but thinking that the Sun family had seized the dowry of Meng Jinyao’s biological mother, how could Meng Jinyao really continue to follow her? Sun's mother is kind and her son is filial?

Sun's face froze slightly, and she answered lightly: "I didn't sleep well last night. I have already asked the mage to solve the matter."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that her appearance is not the result of one night of not sleeping well, but the result of many nights of not sleeping well. She always feels like the ghost has not been resolved yet, but there has been no news recently.

Meng Jinyao nodded: "That's good. Mother should pay attention to rest." She paused and asked curiously, "Mother, are there really ghosts in this world?"

"Since there are people in the world, it's not surprising that there are ghosts." Sun's voice was calm, as if she didn't want to talk more. She was thinking of changing the topic, but Meng Jinyao didn't give her the chance.

Meng Jinyao seemed to be thinking for a while, then asked: "The family is fine, why is it haunted? I heard that the yard where my mother lives is haunted. A maid in my mother's yard died earlier. Is she back?"

The words were so unclear that it was hard not to misunderstand. Those who didn't know thought that Mrs. Sun had done something to the maid, and that the maid still came to haunt Mrs. Sun after she died. Everyone's expressions became subtle.

Meng Jinyu was eager to protect her mother, and before Sun could speak, she said with a worried expression: "Sister, what do you mean by this? That Xiao Tao died of high fever, and her mother also asked the doctor to see her, but she didn't expect that she had high fever. If she didn’t retreat, she would go there late at night. My mother didn’t feel sorry for her, so how could her ghost come back to look for her?”

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement: "That's true. Mother didn't do anything wrong, so why would a ghost come to her? That ghost was probably a lonely ghost. Passing by our Yongchang Mansion, he happened to be killed by my mother. I bumped into him, but luckily the master came to open an altar and did some rituals, and drove the ghost away."

When Mrs. Sun heard the words 'I have done nothing wrong', her heart beat uncontrollably. The hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the scented tea in the cup almost spilled out. She held the teacup tightly and took a deep breath. Take a breath and calm your mind.

After the master opened the altar, she blocked the news and did not allow the maids in the courtyard to spread the news. People outside did not know, but she could see the ghosts of the concubine Meng Chengyu and Meng Chengzhang's biological mother Aunt Du almost every night. Before the master opened the altar, It just stopped for a few days, and now it continues to haunt her, it's really haunting.

At this time, a lady echoed: "Mrs. Meng is the most kind, how could she do anything wrong?"

The other ladies also echoed: "Yes, Mrs. Meng is kind and will not do anything wrong. I can only say that Mrs. Meng suffered an unreasonable disaster this time."

"That's right. It is said that people who have seen ghosts will have their yang energy sucked away. No wonder Mrs. Meng looks so bad. She needs to have a good rest."

……

Everyone said something to me and flattered her without thinking at all. Sun's face was burning as she listened to their words. She felt that every word they said was deliberately sarcastic and embarrassing.

It also reminded her of the dowry incident that had become public knowledge a few months ago. Everyone in the capital knew that she had done something wrong. Despite this, she couldn't refute, let alone get angry, she could only smile appropriately.
