The next day.

Mrs. Dong took some supplements that pregnant women could take and headed to the Changxing Marquis Mansion. She was quite uneasy on the way there. She knew very well the attitude of the eldest daughter towards her family, but she had to obey her mother-in-law's orders.

When she arrived at the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Dong first went to visit Mrs. Gu. Now that she was the eldest girl's stepmother, she was the same generation as Mrs. Gu, so they were her in-laws. When visiting, she must first visit her in-laws.

People with Mrs. Gu's status usually have no chance to see her before she marries Meng Dongyuan. After all, her father is an old Hanlin, which sounds pretty good. He is a high-ranking official, but his official position is not high, so Her social circle is similar to her own. Even her previous husband was not a high-ranking official in the family. Her current husband, because of his eldest daughter, has Marquis Changxing as his son-in-law, so he has the opportunity to deal with the Marquis Changxing's house. Chance.

However, when she saw Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Dong did not show any timidity and called out gracefully: "In-laws."

Mrs. Gu also spoke to her in a gentle and polite manner. After learning her purpose of coming, she exchanged pleasantries and asked her to go to Wei Ruixuan to see Meng Jinyao.

When Meng Jinyao learned that Mrs. Dong was coming, she quickly asked the maid to invite Mrs. Dong in, and also ordered the maid to prepare tea. Her father was her father, and her stepmother was her stepmother. Her father could not forgive her, and it was not that this stepmother could not forgive her. She also could not forgive her. There is no need to embarrass others, just treat them politely first. If the other party has other motives, then let's talk about it later.

Meng Jinyao asked warmly: "Mother, why do you have time to come here?"

Mrs. Dong also understood that Meng Jinyao was calling her mother to save face, but she did not dare to take herself seriously and responded softly: "I heard that you are pregnant. Your father and grandmother are happy for you. Your grandmother is still worried about you. You're pregnant and have a big reaction, so you asked me to come here to see how you were doing."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao knew what it meant. Grandma sent Dong here, and there must be other purposes, so she said: "Thank you, mother, for caring. The child is very obedient and didn't make me any trouble. He didn't even have morning sickness. Father and Did grandma ask mother to bring me anything?"

Dong said warmly: "Yes, they asked me to bring you a message, telling you to take good care of the baby."

Meng Jinyao glanced at her and replied: "I will, so they don't have to worry."

Mrs. Dong smiled and nodded. In fact, her husband asked her to persuade the eldest daughter before going to bed last night, so that the eldest daughter should stop getting angry with her parents and the two families would go out more often and support each other. But she was not a fool. She knew that the eldest daughter What kind of attitude are you trying to offend the older girl?

When she married into this miserable Meng family, she didn't ask for anything else. She just asked that the fire wouldn't burn her. The second young master was a kind-hearted child, so she would be nice to him. In this way, when she gets old, the second young master would be his best friend. The young master can still think of her kindness and will be filial to her in the future. As for the prince, he doesn't have a good attitude towards her now, so don't think that the prince will be filial to her in the future.

After a while, Mr. Dong took the initiative to mention: "By the way, the marriage of the second girl in the family is about to be decided. The future second uncle's surname is Deng. He is from Yangzhou and his family is in business. Seeing his talent, the uncle has the idea of ​​recruiting him as his son-in-law. .”

Meng Jinyao had heard about this when she first returned to Beijing. Now she was not surprised when she heard about it. She smiled lightly and said: "To be able to win the favor of my father, Mr. Deng must be a very good person. My father loves his second sister the most, so why not?" The husband she found must have been carefully selected."

Ms. Dong is gentle and smiling, isn’t she carefully chosen by her husband? Choosing a rich man to make up for the hole in the family, Master Deng must have also taken a fancy to the fact that their family was a noble family. It would be more respectable to marry a legitimate daughter from the Earl's Palace and even become a brother-in-law with the Marquis of Changxing.

After getting along for half an hour, Ms. Dong didn't say a single word that was offensive. Meng Jinyao was also satisfied with her knowledge and interest. It was almost noon and lunch was about to be had, so she left her to have lunch with her.

After lunch, Mr. Dong did not stay for a long time and left on the grounds that he still had things to deal with at home.

After Dong left, Ningdong whispered: "Madam, Madam is a well-educated and measured person. I thought she would say something unpleasant."

Meng Jinyao nodded lightly: "It seems to be pretty good so far, but marrying my father is a bit of a pity. That's all, let's not mention this. I'm going to take a nap first."

Ningdong responded and immediately went in to make her bed.

Yongchang Bofu.

Meng Dongyuan came back in the evening and asked about his wife's visit to the Changxing Marquis Mansion today.

Mrs. Dong replied truthfully: "Don't worry, husband. Mrs. Gu is very kind, and the eldest girl treats her politely. She is not as worried as my husband."

Meng Dongyuan was stunned: "I didn't expect that rebellious girl to know how to respect her elders."

"Perhaps my husband has misunderstood the eldest girl. The eldest girl is gentle and polite to others, and she has never said a harsh word. Her relatives all praise her as a good wife." Ms. Dong didn't want him to continue asking, so she changed the subject, "Now first Autumn has entered, and the autumn clothes for several children at home have been prepared, each with two new sets of clothes."

Meng Dongyuan smiled and said: "You don't need to tell me about such a small thing. Just ask your servants to send it to them when it's ready."

Mrs. Dong was now afraid that Meng Jinyu and Meng Chengxing would sue, so she explained: "Chengzhang is studying in the academy. In addition to two sets of new clothes, he also needs to send an autumn bedding, and the four treasures of the study. In addition, there is also some tea. , refreshing aromatherapy, and some snacks. At first glance, it seems that there are more things than the two children at home, but for the two children at home, these homes have supplies.”

After hearing this, Meng Dongyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Madam, you are doing everything well. Chengzhang is in the academy and can't go home. Let's give him some money. When he is away from home, he can easily do things if he has plenty of money. He also needs money to socialize with his classmates. . The students at Lingshan Academy are all good in talent and learning. Maybe one of their classmates will be very promising in the future. If you make more friends, you will have more paths in the future."

Ms. Dong nodded in agreement. In the past, her husband paid more attention to his younger son, but since the results of the college examination were released, his younger son failed to become a scholar, and his second son not only became a scholar, but also became the head of the case. Her husband's heart immediately changed. This shows who the husband is. If you are promising, you will be partial to anyone.

However, the mother-in-law still loves her little grandson the most. After all, the grandson she has loved for more than ten years will not change overnight. Her love for her little grandson will not be affected by Mrs. Sun. Although her attitude towards her little granddaughter is affected by Mrs. Sun's influence, but in fact it is better to treat the younger granddaughter than the older granddaughter, and she will be more tolerant.

Meng Dongyuan returned to the topic: "Madam, when you saw Ayao today, did you persuade her to stop being angry with her parents?"

Mrs. Dong's face paused, and then she started to make nonsense, trying to excuse her: "Husband, when I went to the Gu family to visit the eldest daughter, my in-laws were also there, and it was not convenient to say some things, so I didn't persuade the eldest daughter."

Meng Dongyuan's eyes flashed with disappointment and dissatisfaction, and his tone was reproachful: "Why didn't you find a chance to talk to her privately? Forget it, let's have a family dinner another day and invite her back. I'll do it myself. Tell her."

The more he talked, the angrier he became: "When a girl from another family gets married, she is still close to her mother's family. She will not tell her mother's family whether she is good or bad. Except when necessary, she will not even step into the door of her mother's family." Bu, what does this look like? If my friend hadn't said congratulations to me that day, I wouldn't have known that I was going to be a grandfather."
