That day, there was a tea party at the Luo family.

The Luo family is from the capital, and they already have relatives and friends in the capital. However, Mr. Luo was sent out to serve as an official, and he has not been in the capital for many years, so he has had very little contact with him.

Now that he has been transferred back to the capital as an official, and has been promoted, he has contacted his former relatives and friends, as well as the family members of some of Mr. Luo's colleagues. Many guests came today, and the Luo family became lively.

Meng Jinyao didn't sleep well last night and got up a little late today. When she arrived, those guests had basically arrived. Fortunately, there were two guests later than her, so she wouldn't be the last to arrive.

The people who came today were all from the same family background as the Luo family. Meng Jinyao had the most distinguished status among the ladies. As soon as she arrived, everyone present became a little cautious. You must know that the female relatives of the Changxing Marquis Mansion are basically I won't go to parties with them. They only party with the women's families of other aristocratic families or high-ranking officials' families.

Meng Jinyao said hello to her uncle's second wife, and then talked to Mrs. Xu. A lady wanted to talk to her, and she accepted the conversation with a smile.

When everyone saw that she was not putting on Mrs. Hou's airs and looked condescending, they relaxed and chatted with her at ease.

But it is inevitable that there will be gossips and people with little discernment who will not pay attention to what they say and ask: "Mrs. Gu, I heard that Miss Meng and Prince Meng did not visit Sun's grave after her death. Is this true?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were a little subtle, but because of the gossip, they did not interrupt the lady's words, and turned their eyes to Meng Jinyao without any trace, wanting to hear the gossip. This kind of thing is just a rumor. How could Meng Jinyao know this? If the rumors are true, then the Sun family's children are really horribly indifferent, they are just white-eyed wolves. No matter how vicious the Sun family is, she has never felt sorry for them, but they have never even visited the grave.

Mrs. Xu frowned and was about to say something to block her cousin's words. When she saw her cousin shaking her head slightly, she held back.

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly towards her cousin, then calmly picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and responded unhurriedly: "I have heard about this, but I don't know if it is actually true. It’s clear, after all, the person I called my mother for more than ten years murdered my biological mother and my younger brother. After the birthday party that day, I didn’t bother to pay special attention to her affairs, I just treated her as a stranger.”

This statement not only shows that he has heard the rumors, but also shows his dissatisfaction with the Sun family, and he did not deliberately accuse his younger siblings of being unfilial. The rumors are rumors, whether they are true or false. , she did not have an in-depth understanding of Sun's subsequent events.

Only the person involved would know whether she really hadn't paid attention to her. The ladies glanced at her and secretly thought that she was a well-spoken person.

Soon, a madam flattered her: "Mrs. Gu was kind-hearted and didn't turn her away to the government. If it were someone else, how could she be so easy to talk to? She probably wouldn't care about the mother-daughter relationship that lasted more than ten years and tore her up on the spot. "

After the words fell, someone else sighed with emotion: "Sometimes it's hard to tell which one is more important, between giving birth to kindness and cultivating kindness. Mrs. Gu, for the sake of the kindness she has given her over the past ten years, did not report it to the official. In the end, she herself Seeking death can be regarded as retribution. It is said that for those who do many evil things, if the King of Hell asks her to die at the third watch, she will not survive the fifth watch."

Someone else echoed: "Yes, this is her retribution. Everyone betrayed her relatives and separated from her relatives. Even after her own children died, she didn't collect their bodies for her."

Meng Jinyao only drank tea and didn't talk. She was actually not that easy to talk to. At first, she only wanted to kill people and punish her, so that Mrs. Sun would be abandoned, and then be rejected by the Sun family. Let Ms. Sun taste the feeling of betrayal and separation, and finally report to the official. I sued Ms. Sun, but I didn’t expect that Ms. Sun would crash to death in front of Sun’s house that night.

At this time, a lady quietly observed Meng Jinyao's face. Seeing that she did not look displeased, she remembered another thing and said after careful consideration, "Mrs. Gu, I wonder if you have heard of something."

Meng Jinyao looked at her: "What's the matter? Madam, I just say it's okay."

The lady said: "Yesterday, I was looking for a marriage for my cousin who was living in my house. I heard the matchmaker let it slip. I learned that the Yongchang Mansion had found a matchmaker. I thought that Miss Meng was old enough to propose marriage, but she was still there. During the period of filial piety, the second young master has not yet reached the age of marriage, and the prince is even younger and is also in the period of filial piety."

She did not finish her words, but everyone could guess what was going on. Among the children, those who were of marriageable age were observing filial piety, while those who did not need to observe filial piety were still young and did not need to rush to discuss marriage.

In this case, who else can discuss marriage?

It can't be so ridiculous that Mrs. Meng, who is so old and decrepit, wants to remarry, right?

It must be Yongchang Bo Meng Dongyuan!

Everyone looked at each other, very surprised. They just divorced their ex-wife last month, and the ex-wife they divorced also died just last month. Are you going to find a matchmaker to seduce a girl so soon, and are you going to marry again?

Surprised, everyone easily accepts it. When his abandoned wife dies, is it possible that a man still has to keep a moral integrity for a vicious abandoned woman?

The family not only has children to take care of, but also needs a hostess to be in charge, to be in charge of the middle office, and to maintain the relationships among the families. Furthermore, it was the Sun family who did the wrong thing. Uncle Meng was an innocent victim, and his first wife was killed by the Sun family. , the eldest son of the concubine was also killed by the Sun family. He was only in his thirties, so it was normal for him to marry again.

Meng Jinyao was also surprised. Although she had expected this, she did not expect that her father would look for his next wife so quickly. Her mother would remarry and her father would remarry. These are things that children cannot stop.

When the lady saw that everyone was silent, especially when Meng Jinyao was also silent, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She felt that she had said something wrong, and she quickly made up for herself: "Mrs. Gu, I probably heard something wrong. There is nothing confirmed. Don’t think too much about it.”

Meng Jinyao's expression returned to normal, and she said warmly: "It may be true, but the younger generation has nothing to do with the affairs of the elders. If the father really wants to remarry, the children will congratulate him on his harmony with his new wife, Qin Se."

Seeing that she didn't seem to care, the lady slowly breathed a sigh of relief and echoed, "Mrs. Gu is right."

Mrs. Xu was afraid that her cousin would feel uncomfortable, so she changed the topic without leaving any trace.

The other ladies also suppressed their gossip and followed Xu's wishes and changed the topic.

Meng Jinyao smiled lightly and calmly sipped her tea, but her thoughts drifted far away.

Fortunately, she predicted her father's next plan that day and took the opportunity to move out of her late mother. On the grounds that her mother had dreamed of having a son, she got her father and grandmother to agree to record the second brother in her mother's name and become the legitimate son of the original wife, so that her stepmother could come in. It was not so easy to control the second brother. There was a big difference in status between the concubine and the legitimate son of the original wife. In addition, with the support of her sister, Mrs. Hou, the stepmother did not dare to touch the second brother easily.

On the other hand, the Sun family's children may not be so lucky. The Sun family made a big mistake and was abandoned by their father. The reputations of Meng Jinyu and Meng Chengxing were tarnished. She and her second brother are not close to the Sun family's children, unless their stepmother is kind. Be good, otherwise you will be punished.
