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

Today, the spring breeze is gentle and the sun is warm. It is a good weather.

Princess Jingning and Song Xinning made an appointment to visit Meng Jinyao. Such a big thing had happened to the Gu family, and they had long wanted to visit their friends. However, Gu Jingxi was punished to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, so they could not come to disturb him.

Now that Gu Jingxi's expiration date has ended, they handed over the post and paid a visit.

Princess Jingning looked at her carefully and asked, "Ayao, are you okay?"

Before Meng Jinyao could reply, Song Xinning smiled and said, "I think she's pretty good and looks good. She must have been doing well recently and has not been affected by the bad things that happened to her."

Meng Jinyao replied with a smile: "I'm fine these days, you don't have to worry."

Princess Jingning smelled a medicinal smell and asked with concern: "Ayao, why do you have a faint medicinal smell on your body? Are you sick?"

Meng Jinyao was used to hearing it, but now she didn't feel anything. When her friend mentioned it, she remembered that she was pickled by the medicine, and replied: "I'm fine, I just have insufficient energy and blood, cold body, and took a medicinal bath, so I have some symptoms on my body." It smells like medicine, so I usually don’t care about it when I don’t go out, and I only take a shower again before going out.”

Song Xinning said: "You should take good care of your body. Other people's bodies at the age of forty are not as bad as yours."

"So I just listened to the imperial doctor and treated him for a year and a half." Meng Jinyao said, then asked the two friends to sit down and let the maid serve tea, fruits and refreshments.

Princess Jingning asked warmly: "Ayao, what happened to that incident half a month ago?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "The truth is just as everyone said, Aunt Li's pregnancy was a mistake. They wanted to use this to get rid of me. However, Mr. Hou and I already knew that Aunt Li was not pregnant, so we took advantage of it."

Hearing this, Princess Jingning looked rejoicing: "Fortunately, you guys are more careful, otherwise if you were successfully plotted by them this time, you would really suffer a disaster."

Three good sisters chatted about everyday things.

Meng Jinyao saw that Song Xinning looked good and she must have been living a good life recently, but she still asked with concern to confirm: "A Ning should be doing well after marrying into the Shen family, right?"

Song Xinning replied: "Except for being a little busy hosting the wedding, everything else is going well. My husband treats me very well. My mother-in-law treated me like a daughter before I got married, and it hasn't changed since I got married. "

When Meng Jinyao heard this, she was also happy for her: "That's good."

At this time, Princess Jingning suddenly asked: "How are Master Shen and Mrs. Shen doing now?"

They are all good sisters who can be trusted. Song Xinning did not hide anything and said truthfully: "Ever since my father-in-law suddenly brought back a pregnant wife to be his concubine last year, the relationship between my mother-in-law and him has never eased. He wants to repair the relationship. , but my mother-in-law thinks he doesn’t exist, just for the sake of the younger generation, she usually doesn’t quarrel, but now that she has been recuperating for such a long time, my mother-in-law’s body has almost recovered.”

Princess Jingning cupped her chin and sighed softly: "Let's say he loves Mrs. Shen. He secretly kept the outside wife and brought her back to her as a concubine when she was pregnant. Say he doesn't love her. He also wants to repair the relationship between husband and wife. Men are so complicated. If I had known this, why bother?"

Song Xinning snorted lightly and said in a disdainful tone: "It's not because he loves my mother-in-law, it's because he is poor."

Princess Jingning was stunned: "Poor?"

Song Xinning explained the matter calmly: "Since they had a quarrel last year, my mother-in-law's dowry has not subsidized the family. He only has a salary and no property. He has little money and cannot support the family. His concubines are not living a good life either. Fortunately, most of the servants in the house are from my mother-in-law, otherwise he would probably have to dismiss most of the servants.

"However, my life with my husband and mother-in-law is still the same as usual. They are the only ones living the hard days. That concubine is probably so regretful now that her intestines are green. She became the concubine of the minister of the Ministry of Works, but she failed to live a wealthy life. .”

"My mother-in-law said that it is the head of the family's job to support the family. The family's expenses should be based on his salary, and her dowry is her own. It is shameful to use a woman's dowry. My father-in-law has no face to ask, so he can only think In order to repair the relationship between husband and wife, my mother-in-law is willing to subsidize the money."

"But my mother-in-law is very sober. When a man becomes a high-ranking official, he changes his mind. She was hysterical and almost died from an old disease. After dying once, she looked away. When the relationship between husband and wife is inseparable, she doesn't mind supporting the man. , give the man the best living conditions he can give him. Now that my father-in-law has sentenced her, she is unwilling. The dowry is only for herself and her children, not the man. "

After hearing this, Princess Jingning and Meng Jinyao were both a little dumbfounded. At the same time, they also admired Mrs. Shen's toughness, but to be able to do this, they had to rely on their eldest son to be on their side. An eldest son who has grown up and entered the court as an official. In addition, I have money, both of which are indispensable. I have an excellent son, but I can't live such a comfortable life without money.

Princess Jingning asked: "Is Mr. Shen isolated at home?"

Song Xinning replied: "On the surface, he is calm. My husband also respects my father on the surface, but he feels contempt for people like my father who break their oaths when they have power. He has the talent of reading, but without my mother-in-law, he doesn't have the talent to read." They say that if you take the imperial examination and become an official, you can’t afford to study, so you can only work for a living, and in the end your talent is buried by life.”

"That was his own fault. His originally happy home was destroyed by him." Meng Jinyao said, then asked, "Then the concubine must have given birth, right?"

Speaking of this, Song Xinning couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Twin girls were born a few days ago. My father-in-law thought they were twin boys or twins, but he was very disappointed."

Princess Jingning was astonished: "Master Shen already has an outstanding son like Mr. Shen, why do you still care so much about whether the concubine gives birth to a son?"

Meng Jinyao said: "Most men favor sons over daughters. How can anyone complain about having too many sons? Sons can inherit the incense. The more sons there are, the more prosperous the population will be. Daughters are all married into other people's families. A truly favored daughter will not Many, many daughters seem to be favored, but in fact they are favored because they see value in them, and they will marry to consolidate the family's power and extract greater value in the future."

Song Xinning nodded and said, "That's it. I have a distant cousin who was so favored in the past. Because the family went downhill, she married a young girl to a man twenty years older than her to be a house-filling wife."

Princess Jingning was silent after hearing this.

Seeing this, Meng Jinyao smiled and said: "Ayan, don't think too much, the prince must really love you. He is a prince, the younger brother of the emperor's mother. He is extremely noble and there is no need to use a daughter to consolidate his power."

Princess Jingning shook her head slightly: "I'm not thinking about myself, but I'm thinking about the way in this world, it seems to be generally accepted that women are inferior to men. That's all, don't think about it anymore, we can't solve this problem anyway."

"That's right, don't worry about things that can't be solved." Meng Jinyao said, pushing a plate of snacks in front of her, "Try this snack, the maid next to me made it by herself. It tastes pretty good.”
