Dr. Wen's medicine really worked, and it took effect quickly. After just one dose, Meng Jinyao's unbearable abdominal pain was relieved. Although there was still some dull pain, it was still bearable. She felt more energetic and could walk easily. You can move freely without having to hunch over and hold your stomach in pain.

The next day, Gu Jingxi saw that she was well, so he felt relieved to go to Dali Temple for duty. He had accumulated a day's official work and would be much busier today, so he told her that he didn't have to wait for dinner at night.

A few days later, menstruation was clear and Meng Jinyao felt refreshed. She originally wanted to go to the Song family to see An Ning. An Ning was detained at home by Mrs. Song to be married and could not get out easily, so she took the initiative to go there and wait for tomorrow. Then go to Prince Liang's Mansion to find Ayan. She is not burdened with mundane duties and has a lot of free time, so she can hang out with her close friends.

But he never thought that just as he was about to go out, the maid in front came to report that the eldest young lady of the Luo family was here.

The eldest young lady of the Luo family?

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered her aunt's only child who died young, her cousin Luo Yong'an, and the eldest young lady of the Luo family was her cousin-in-law. A few days ago, her uncle was transferred to the capital, and they met on her grandmother's birthday. Yes, I just came to visit suddenly for some unknown reason.

She ordered: "Go and invite the guests over." Then she ordered Xia Zhu, who was closest to her, "Xia Zhu, go and prepare tea."

Mrs. Xu is a gentle woman. The last time they met, she had a good impression of her husband's cousin. When she saw Meng Jinyao, the gentle smile on her lips deepened and she asked warmly: "Cousin, I came here unexpectedly, did I disturb you?"

"How can you disturb me? I usually don't have anything important to do. My cousin is here just in time to talk to me and relieve my boredom." Meng Jinyao asked Mrs. Xu to sit down and asked, "How come my cousin has time to come see me today?"

Mrs. Xu was not one to mince words, and went straight to the point: "Cousin, such a scandal happened at my grandmother's birthday party last time. My husband was afraid that my cousin would be depressed when she found out the cause of death of her aunt and eldest cousin, and she felt uneasy. He is a man. Come here, let me come and take a look. Now that we see that my cousin’s mental state is okay, we are relieved.”

Meng Jinyao was startled for a moment, but she didn't expect it to be because of this. Warmth flowed through her heart, and she responded softly: "I made my cousin worry about me. At first, I was filled with resentment, but seeing that Mrs. Sun got such retribution, My mood has improved a lot, my enemies are all dead, so I won’t worry about this anymore, don’t worry.”

Mrs. Xu gently nodded: "It's good that my cousin can think about it. Miss Gu Er got married a few days ago and came to see her cousin for a wedding banquet. However, it happened that the child and mother-in-law were both infected with the cold and fell ill. She needed to be taken care of, and I couldn’t get away, so I didn’t come to the wedding banquet that day.”

Meng Jinyao knew about this. Her cousin sent a message to someone one day in advance. Neither her cousin nor her uncle's wife could come. Only men from the Luo family came to the banquet. They were too busy at that time, so she didn't see her cousin. , then asked: "Cousin, are Brother Zheng and Mrs. Luo feeling better?"

Xu replied: "Don't worry, cousin, they are all fine."

Mr. Xu was gentle and talkative, and they had a great conversation. At noon, they even stayed to have lunch with Meng Jinyao.

Before leaving, Mrs. Xu suddenly remembered something and said: "Cousin, will you be free in two days? It's like this. The Luo family has not hosted a banquet for anyone this time in Beijing. I'm thinking of hosting one in two days. For a tea party, invite your new wife, relatives and friends to come over."

Meng Jinyao responded without hesitation: "Cousin, let's see you in two days. I will be free in two days."

Xu responded with a smile: "I will be waiting for my cousin to come in two days."

After seeing Mrs. Xu off, Ningdong asked quietly: "Madam, is Mrs. Luo coming to see you, or is she here to invite you to a banquet in two days?"

Meng Jinyao replied warmly: "It's both, don't worry about it. My cousin used to go to Beijing to visit my grandmother. He treated me very well and he knew right from wrong. My uncle now works in the Ministry of Personnel. Although he is a fifth-grade doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, he still has a good reputation." I said that my uncle is a man of upright character and handles his errands properly. He may be able to move up in the future. Such a person will not let the younger generation come to curry favor with me."

Ningdong felt ashamed and said, "This slave is too worried."

Meng Jinyao said: "I can't blame you. There are really too many people with ulterior motives, so it's good to stay vigilant. Not to mention you, sometimes I feel like a frightened bird. I always feel that others have ulterior motives to harm me."

She paused slightly as she spoke, and then said, "My cousin and my cousin are both kind."

Ningdong suddenly said: "Madam, on the day you go to the Luo family for the banquet, the second girl will not go, right?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head: "Not long after Sun passed away, as her child, even if Sun has been abandoned, she still needs to observe filial piety for Sun. If the mother is abandoned, her children must observe filial piety for her for one year. "

Ningdong slapped his head: "Look at this slave's memory, she actually forgot about this."

-

Luo family.

Luo Yongan was playing with the child in his arms. When his wife came back, he handed the child to the wet nurse and asked the wet nurse to take the child down. He asked about his cousin: "Madam, how is my cousin?"

Mrs. Xu heard her husband's question as soon as she sat down. With a smile on her face, she said warmly: "Don't worry, husband. My cousin has a transparent temper. That incident did not bother her. She seems to be in good spirits now. There is no problem." Even if you are depressed, you can still laugh with me.”

"Just be open-minded." Luo Yongan sighed softly, with a hint of brother's pity for his sister, "My cousin is a hard-luck person. She suffered from the hardships of the Sun family. My uncle didn't care about her, and my grandmother didn't care about her." There is also a prejudice, mistakenly believing that my aunt and eldest cousin were killed by my cousin, and she has not been living well these years."

Mrs. Xu knew that her husband cared about this cousin, but she didn't like it. Her husband treated her cousin like a brother and a sister, and her husband treated her like a man and a woman. In order to please her, her husband spent a lot of money to get her to agree to marry him. Thoughts, her husband married her and did not take any concubines during her pregnancy.

She comforted: "Husband, now that grandma knows the truth, those prejudices should be eliminated."

Luo Yongan was silent after hearing this. He went to see his grandmother a few days ago. His grandmother's dislike of his cousin did not happen overnight. It happened over many years. Even if he knew the truth, he would not change his attitude towards his cousin for a while. From the time he mentioned his cousin You can tell by the change in my grandmother's expression that she still doesn't like her cousin as always.

Mrs. Xu added: "By the way, my cousin will also be coming to the banquet at home in two days."

Hearing this, Luo Yongan remembered another cousin and asked: "Madam, have you invited cousin Ayu?"

Mrs. Xu glanced at him and said angrily: "Aren't you worried about my husband? I won't be so stupid. Cousin Ayu lost her mother and needs to be filial, so I didn't send a message to the Meng family."

Luo Yongan said hurriedly: "Aren't I afraid that Madam will forget?"

Mrs. Xu laughed helplessly: "Although I have been a little busy recently, how could I forget this?"
