Seeing her silence, Princess Jingning asked, "Ayao, what's wrong?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly: "It's nothing."

Princess Jingning looked at her, thoughtfully, and asked hesitantly: "Are you having random thoughts?"

"what?"

Meng Jinyao looked at her in confusion.

Princess Jingning replied: "It has been said before that Lord Gu has not married for many years because he can't forget his ex-fiancée. But you and Lord Gu have children, and Lord Gu treats you so well, which proves that rumor." It’s definitely not true.”

Meng Jinyao understood, and immediately said: "That rumor is indeed not true. When we were in Huzhou Mansion, the Marquis once told me that he had no romantic feelings for her. The engagement was also a matchmaker ordered by his parents."

Hearing this, Princess Jingning also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I'm afraid you'll think too much."

Meng Jinyao smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not imagining things." She paused, "It's just a bit surprising that Mr. Wei divorced Mrs. Wei, but when I think about it, I think it's normal."

Princess Jingning nodded: "It is normal for someone to be divorced after being married for more than ten years without having children. Some people are divorced after being childless for three years."

Meng Jinyao knew in her heart that Mrs. Wei was not abandoned because she was childless, but she didn't say much. The reason given by the Wei family was that she was childless, so she must be childless.

Mr. Wei really loved Mrs. Wei, and at this juncture he was abandoned and returned to his parents' home. Now that no one knows about it, Mrs. Wei will definitely be ridiculed. But when Mr. Wei is escorted back to Beijing for trial, some people will be happy for Mrs. Wei. , I felt that it was good to be divorced. I was free from the Wei family and no longer had to suffer.

After a moment, Meng Jinyao asked: "Ayan, how did you know about this?"

Princess Jingning replied: "There was once a daughter of the Mei family who was the most beautiful and talented woman in the capital. Although she returned to the capital in a low-key manner, rumors still spread. With her former fame, some people will pay attention to her. Don't look at it. My mother-in-law is dignified and virtuous, but she likes to listen to gossip. She has a maid who specializes in collecting gossip from other families and tells her the gossip. I followed my mother-in-law and listened to it."

Meng Jinyao nodded clearly.

Princess Jingning thought for a while and murmured: "She seems to be almost thirty years old, right?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "She is one year younger than the Marquis and is twenty-nine years old this year."

Princess Jingning sighed softly: "It is quite miserable to be abandoned at such a young age. It is also difficult to marry into a good family. A younger one will not consider her at all, and someone of similar age will want a younger one. Now that Mrs. Mei is still here, when one day Mrs. Mei is gone, the brothers in the family will probably dislike her living as an old girl at home."

"That's not necessarily the case." Meng Jinyao shook her head disapprovingly, "Mrs. Wei... No, she should be called Miss Mei now. Although she is nearly thirty years old, she looks only twenty-four or five years old. She is good-looking and beautiful. She is talented, and there were so many men who admired her back then. If there is a widower who is still interested in her, he will probably ask for marriage. After all, men have children at this age and will not care whether she can have children."

Princess Jingning was slightly startled, and then said: "That's true."

After a while, Princess Jingning changed the subject: "Ayao, let's go and say hello to the old lady. I came here today and haven't gone to say hello to the elders yet."

Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "Then it's an unlucky time for you to come. My mother-in-law is not at home today and has gone out."

Princess Jingning was surprised: "The old lady rarely goes out on weekdays, and she rarely even attends banquets. How can she have the leisure to go out today?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "It used to be like this, but recently she goes out more often. Today she seems to be going to burn incense and pray for blessings. Let's go for a walk in the back garden. The autumn chrysanthemums are blooming well there."

Princess Jingning nodded: "Okay."

In autumn, the back garden is very desolate, the vegetation is withered, and only seasonal flowers are blooming.

The two of them were strolling in the garden, chatting about some interesting things. The maid followed them a few steps behind.

Suddenly, Meng Jinyao heard the sound of an argument not far ahead and stopped. Princess Jingning also stopped.

I heard Zhang's voice from the front: "What's the matter with you? I asked you to behave well and leave a good impression on others, but you turned out to be good. You know how to eat. Why didn't I find you so loving before?" Eat? What's wrong with your family? It's like you haven't eaten in three days."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Xuanyi's voice came, and she responded in a nonchalant tone: "Their food is delicious. If I eat more, isn't that giving them face?"

Mrs. Zhang: "You...are you trying to make me angry to death?"

Gu Xuanyi responded: "Mom, I have no plans to get married at the moment, so please stop working. My third brother and I are twins. He is a quarter of an hour older than me. He hasn't married yet. Why should I be anxious?"

Mrs. Zhang was very angry: "Xiuwen is a man and you are a woman. How can this be the same? Look at your third uncle, who is nearly thirty years old and there is a young and beautiful girl willing to marry him. If your third uncle is a woman, who is nearly thirty years old, Who would like to marry him?"

Gu Xuanyi replied: "I don't care anyway, and I don't want to. If you say anything else, I will go find my grandmother to seek justice for me."

Mrs. Zhang: "How dare you use your grandmother to suppress me?"

Gu Xuanyi: "I'm tired. Let's go back and take a nap. My mother has been scolding her for so long, so she must be tired. Let's go back and have a good rest."

Mrs. Zhang: "...you kid."

……

Listening to the content of the argument between their mother and daughter, it seemed that Ms. Zhang wanted to find a good in-law for Gu Xuanyi, but Gu Xuanyi did not cooperate and behaved well, and messed up the matter. Ms. Zhang was then angry, but Gu Xuanyi didn't care at all.

Princess Jingning whispered: "Ayao, it seems that this eldest girl in your family is not happy to get married."

Meng Jinyao nodded lightly and responded in a low voice: "Xuan Yi has been hurt. She was deceived into marriage by her ex-husband and was beaten up. She is afraid of marriage. But Xuan Yi is sixteen years old this year. As a mother, my sister-in-law must I will be anxious about her marriage, fearing that it will be difficult to find a good wife when she gets older."

Princess Jingning said: "Miss Gu's ex-husband also received the punishment he deserved. After he and Miss Gu reconciled, his father immediately went to the palace to report to the emperor and deprived him of the title of heir apparent. His reputation was ruined, and he was He couldn't survive in the capital, so he left the capital, and the Peng family also gave up on him, and he has become an abandoned son."

Meng Jinyao replied: "With Long Yang's kindness, even if he has a wife, he can't consummate the marriage and have children with his wife, and his reputation is so bad. As far as the family is concerned, he is already useless, and he must not be allowed to continue. As the heir apparent. Moreover, he bullied the girl of the Gu family, and the Marquis will not let him go unless he pays some price."

Princess Jingning was very puzzled and whispered in Meng Jinyao's ear: "It's really strange. He can have sex with men, but why can't he have sex with women?"

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "I really don't know."
