After the wedding ceremony, Meng Dongyuan left the new house to greet the guests.

The women who went to join in the fun to see the bride satisfied their curiosity and left the new house one after another.

Meng Jinyao and Meng Jinyu walked at the end. A nanny introduced their sisters to Ms. Dong. After greeting her, the two sisters briefly talked for a few words before leaving.

After leaving the new house, Meng Jinyu looked at Meng Jinyao with a deep look. Meng Jinyao had such a good attitude towards Mr. Dong just now, and it was difficult not to make her suspect that Meng Jinyao wanted to win over Ms. Dong against her.

Meng Jinyao was made uncomfortable by her gloomy gaze. She turned around, met her cold eyes, and asked directly: "Second sister's cannibalistic eyes are quite scary. What are you planning?"

Meng Jinyu was choked by her words, looked away, twitched the corner of her lips for a moment, and said mockingly: "Sister, you really meant it when you called mother just now. My mother has raised you for more than ten years, and you have always been... I’ve never been so sincere.”

Meng Jinyao smiled and asked, "Then why don't you see what good things your good mother has done?"

She and Ms. Dong have no feud at the moment. Ms. Dong has just married into the Meng family and has done nothing bad. Even if she is a stepmother, she should respectfully call her mother. There is no injustice or enmity. She is also a woman, so why embarrass others? Moreover, today is a day of great joy for others. If you don't show respect to others, then you will really have a grudge from the first meeting. As for what will happen in the future, that will be discussed later.

Meng Jinyu was speechless for a moment after hearing her question.

Meng Jinyao said quietly: "Second sister, today is my father's happy day. I can't afford to be an unfilial daughter who ruins my father's wedding. Second sister should be careful."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyu's face tightened. Judging from her father's love for her stepmother, if she did something wrong and lost her father's heart, her father would probably be encouraged by her stepmother to find her an in-law at will, and wait until her filial piety period is over. Marry her off.

Meng Jinyao ignored her and prepared to return to the banquet for dinner.

On the way, Meng Jinyao suddenly heard someone discussing her father's affairs. She subconsciously slowed down and walked over slowly. Unexpectedly, she actually heard something useful, which also involved her mother.

"It seems Uncle Meng still likes his first wife."

“How come you see?”

"Mrs. Dong's temperament is exactly like that of her first wife, Mrs. Zhou. She is both gentle and bookish. The previous Mrs. Sun only looked gentle and had no bookish aura."

"real or fake?"

"Why are you lying to me? I used to have a close relationship with Uncle Meng's first wife, and I am quite familiar with her. Although it has been many years, I still remember her temperament."

"Uncle Meng is really affectionate."

"There are many people in front, so let's not talk about it for now."

……

Meng Jinyao couldn't help frowning as she listened to the discussion of the two people. She had never seen her mother, only her mother's portrait. However, the portrait was snatched away by Meng Jinyu and torn to pieces. She was so angry that they fought with Meng Jinyu. After learning about it, she behaved like a loving mother and scolded Meng Jinyu for being naughty. She also found a painter to paint her a new one, but it only gave a look but no charm.

Her new stepmother, Mrs. Dong, does have a temperament similar to her mother's, but it is simply nonsense to say how much her father likes her mother. Her father only liked Sun at that time, but now Dong's temperament is exactly like her mother's, probably It's just a coincidence. Her father has probably forgotten her mother's temperament.

At the banquet, there was a lot of drinking and drinking, three rounds of wine and five dishes, and the dinner came to an end.

Not long after, the banquet broke up and the guests left one after another.

Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi were not interested in staying and talking to Meng Dongyuan. They were almost the first guests to leave. They left the Yongchang Mansion and got on the carriage without looking back.

Meng Dongyuan had the experience of getting married twice before. This time he took it easy and did not get drunk, otherwise it would delay the wedding ceremony. When he saw his daughter and son-in-law leaving like this, his face stiffened for a moment, and then he immediately raised a smile and went to follow her. The other guests talked, exchanged compliments with the guests, and watched the guests leave.

After all the guests left, Meng Dongyuan suddenly asked the housekeeper: "What gift did the eldest lady send this time?"

The housekeeper replied respectfully: "The eldest lady gave me a screen."

After Meng Dongyuan heard this, he immediately frowned and said in a displeased tone: "What a rebellious girl. Raising her to such an old age was all in vain. She is like a white-eyed wolf. It doesn't matter if I gave her a piece of clothing that was not suitable for my age on my birthday last year." Now that I’m married, she sent a broken screen over to congratulate me? Does she want to make a joke to bury me and embarrass me? It’s better to come here empty-handed.”

When the housekeeper heard this, he quickly added: "Uncle, please calm down. The screen is embroidered with a picture of two flying birds and branches. The embroidery is exquisite and lifelike. This level is not bad compared with the best embroiderers in the capital. Moreover, The screen frame is made of pineapple flowers and wood, and it looks very valuable. The gift given by the eldest lady this time is also thoughtful, and I sincerely congratulate you on your wedding."

Hearing this, Meng Dongyuan's expression softened: "That rebellious girl is still sensible, otherwise what kind of joke would she make and her family lose face? Does she think she won't be laughed at?"

The housekeeper quietly took a look at his face. Seeing that his expression improved, he immediately said: "Uncle, a moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold. It's getting late and the new lady has been waiting for a long time. Why don't you go back to see the new lady first? What's next? Small things will be arranged."

Meng Dongyuan thought of the new lady's beautiful face when she lifted the red hijab. His heart moved and a smile appeared on his face. He nodded and strode back to the new house.

At first, he felt disgusted when he learned that Mrs. Dong had married someone and she was already in her twenties. But after meeting Ms. Dong, he felt that marrying Ms. Dong was not out of the question. No wonder some men like mature young women. , even women in their teenage years like it, and now he likes it too.

In that compartment, Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi returned to Changxing Hou Mansion.

After getting off the carriage and entering the house, on the way back to Wei Ruixuan, Gu Jingxi asked warmly: "Ayao, nothing happened today, right?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly and replied: "No, no one dares to make trouble on a big day. My sister is very yin and yang, but she can't make trouble. No matter how dissatisfied she is with me, she doesn't dare to make trouble today."

Gu Jingxi asked again: "After meeting Mr. Dong, what do you think of this person?"

Meng Jinyao objectively commented: "She has a pretty face, and her first impression is that she is a gentle woman. She must have read a lot of books, and she has a bookish air about her. We had a brief conversation, and I saw that she was elegant, gentle and kind, but I just don't know." Is she actually like this? With Sun’s lessons learned, I don’t dare to rely on first impressions when looking at people now.”

"A long road can tell a horse's power, and time can tell a person's heart. Let's just watch." After Gu Jingxi said this, he stretched out his hand to hold her little hand.

Meng Jinyao nodded gently: "That's the truth."
