The news about Mei Qingyun, the most beautiful woman in the capital at that time, who was both talented and beautiful, was abandoned in the capital within a few days. Although she kept a low profile when she returned to the capital and never left the house after returning to the capital, the news still spread. When the news broke out, many people discussed it privately, and the news spread throughout the capital.

Mei Qingyun was regarded as a model of a lady in the capital at that time. She had outstanding appearance, gentle temperament, and talent. She was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even the Queen Mother praised her for her piano skills. Many officials' children admired her. At the same time, she also It makes many ladies envious and jealous.

Such a girl was engaged to Gu Jingxi, who was known as the most handsome man in the capital. While others were envious, many boys and girls also had their hearts broken. However, when everyone thought of two talented and beautiful people together, everyone He was not so unwilling, after all, they were really a good match, and no one could be more worthy of each other than them.

Later, something happened to Gu Jingxi, and the Mei family broke off the engagement.

Gu Jingxi didn't have any ladies willing to marry, but Mei Qingyun still had many suitors, and the matchmaker was about to cross the threshold of the Mei family.

However, Mei Qingyun married Wei Heng.

Many official officials are unwilling to accept this: Why should Wei Heng do this? Wouldn’t it be nice to look better? Can he be better looking than Gu Jingxi?

Not long after, Wei Heng passed the imperial examination.

Everyone shut up.

He was already a Jinshi at the age of nineteen. Although he was not as good as Gu Jingxi who was a No. 1 scholar at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he was still a very outstanding young man. Mr. Mei had a keen eye for people and chose a talented husband for his daughter.

Not long after Mei Qingyun and Wei Heng got married, she went to work with her husband, and everyone no longer paid attention to Mei Qingyun's affairs.

The next time we pay attention to Mei Qingyun is now. She has been married for more than ten years and has no children. She was abandoned by her husband's family. She came back from Huzhou Prefecture in despair. She was probably too embarrassed to even leave the house.

The lady who had stolen the limelight from her back then, now that she knew of her downfall, gossiped a lot behind her back, all of them taking pleasure in her misfortune.

Many people said privately: "What's the use of being good-looking? What's the use of being talented? As a woman, she can't give birth to children and can't pass on her husband's family. How is that any different from a hen that can't lay eggs?"

Some people also said: "The Mei family still disliked Mr. Gu for hurting his body. As a result, their daughter was a woman who could not have children. More than ten years later, Mr. Gu was cured by Mrs. Wen, and she was abandoned because she was childless. . If she had married the injured Lord Gu, she would not have ended up being divorced."

The man who loved her back then was a little bit happy when he learned that she was abandoned by her husband's family because she was childless. Fortunately, the Mei family did not agree to her marriage proposal, otherwise she would not be able to have children after getting married, which would also be a problem.

There are also men who think this is an opportunity. The girl they loved when they were young has been abandoned now. She is almost thirty years old, and she is not yet able to have children. If she wants to remarry, it is difficult to find her husband's family. If she is still charming now, If you can save it, why not become your concubine?

As long as I think about the girl that I wanted to hold in my hands and love for the rest of my life, but she didn't even look at me, and was finally abandoned and became my concubine, I feel an indescribable pleasure, as if I have a feeling. The feeling of avenging shame.

For this reason, there is really a man with a much better family background than the current Mei family. He is wondering whether he should take this opportunity to find a matchmaker to go to the Mei family and take Mei Qingyun as a concubine?

Meng Jinyao took a rare trip out to go shopping. When she rested in a teahouse, she heard everyone talking about Mei Qingyun being abandoned by her husband's family when she was nearly thirty years old. Some felt sorry for her, while others slandered her. There is also gloating.

Meng Jinyao took a sip of tea and shook her head disapprovingly. If others knew the inside story, they would know that Mei Qingyun was not abandoned. It was just because Master Wei loved her that he protected her with a letter of divorce.

Listening to the discussions, Meng Jinyao found it noisy and left the teahouse after less than a cup of tea.

The maid and mother-in-law followed closely behind, and went to collect tea money in winter.

Normally, Meng Jinyao goes out without much pomp, including the coachman and maid. After all, others don't dare to cause trouble when they see the carriage with the Gu family logo.

But it's different now. She is pregnant, and this child is hard-won. If she doesn't take care of more people, her family won't trust her to go out.

Chan'er, who was highly skilled in martial arts, followed her half a step behind. Qingqiu and Ningdong also followed. Behind her were two second-class maids and two women. There were six of the nurses who were good at boxing and kicking, and no one else could get close to her. around.

The beautiful young woman went out with a dozen servants. The scene was so grand that it attracted the attention of passers-by.

Meng Jinyao was not used to it, so she whispered to Qingqiu: "It seems that I will go out less often in the future. Now I feel uncomfortable with such pomp and circumstance."

Qingqiu replied: "Madam, when the Marquis comes back, he will accompany you out, so there is no need to do this."

Meng Jinyao sighed: "I don't know if the Marquis will be able to come back when winter comes."

Qingqiu couldn't answer this question, so he only said: "Master Hou will definitely come back before the Chinese New Year."

Meng Jinyao nodded: "Before the Chinese New Year, that should be possible. Before leaving, Mr. Marquis said it would be at least two or three months, or at most nearly half a year. After shopping around, it's almost done. Let's go back to the house."

After she finished speaking, she stepped forward. The carriage of Changxing Marquis Mansion was parked not far ahead.

A lady just came out of the rouge shop. When she saw the group of people, she said to the lady next to her: "Whose daughter-in-law is across the way? She went out in such a big way, with more than a dozen servants."

The lady next to her looked at the sign on the carriage, which belonged to the Marquis of Changxing Mansion, and replied: "Look at the sign, it is the carriage of the Marquis of Changxing Mansion. The lady looks young from the back, she should be the wife of the Marquis of Changxing. The Fang family’s daughter-in-law definitely doesn’t have such a pomp when she goes out.”

The lady glanced at the carriage and was depressed: "This is too high-profile. You bring so many people with you when you go out, and you think you want to buy something. It seems that the servants don't carry anything."

The lady next to her smiled and said: "Mrs. Gu is pregnant with this grandson, but it is the golden grandson that Mrs. Gu has been waiting for for many years. She must bring a servant to serve and protect her when she goes out. Otherwise, what will happen if she bumps into him?"

Somehow, the lady suddenly thought of Mei Qingyun and said with a smile: "Back then, the Mei family disliked her and broke off the engagement. Now that Mei Qingyun has been divorced because she has no children, Marquis Changxing has a wife and children. Do you think she will return?" How would you feel when you find out about this in the capital?"

"How else can I feel other than regret?"

The lady beside her shook her head slightly and said, "But it is normal for the Mei family to break off the engagement. Who would marry a man who can't do it? When Mr. Mei was alive, the Mei family was in a good situation. Mei Qingyun was both talented and beautiful. How could Can you marry a man like that? It’s just what happened later, who knew it would turn out like this?”

The lady chuckled and gloated: "She was so arrogant back then, but she didn't expect that at such an old age, she was despised as infertile, and a letter of divorce sent her back to her parents' home. I don't know if she can still be arrogant now. "

The lady next to me replied: "I guess it can't be done. She feels so embarrassed now that she doesn't even dare to go out or see guests."

The lady's smile deepened: "I will hold a banquet in a while and send her a message to see if she comes."

The lady next to her gave her an angry look and said helplessly: "You, after so many years, do you still hate her?"

As soon as she said this, the lady's smile faltered. Although she had already fulfilled her wish to marry her cousin, her cousin's concubine was somewhat similar to Mei Qingyun, and she was also very talented, which proved that her cousin had not forgotten. Without Mei Qingyun, how could she not hate her?
