After the banquet was over, each lady also went home.

After Mei Qingyun got on the carriage, her face darkened. Although she had expected that someone would embarrass her and was mentally prepared, she still couldn't bear the grievance.

Especially when someone asked whether Mr. Wang would hire a matchmaker to arrange the marriage, this would undoubtedly severely trample her pride and dignity under her feet.

This incident was also nailed to her pillar of shame.

The Wang family also asked a matchmaker to arrange a marriage more than ten years ago, but she didn't like it. As a result, today, more than ten years later, the same person invited a matchmaker to arrange a marriage, and the person they proposed to marry was also her.

However, more than ten years ago, marriage meant being a wife, but now, kissing means being a concubine.

She, Mei Qingyun, was born in a scholarly family. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and song. Her brothers were not as good as her. Her father regretted more than once that she was a girl. If she were a boy, she would definitely be a scholar and become an official in the court. .

Before they even had haircuts, there were many people seeking marriage.

She is remarrying now, and that is to a widower as a second string, or to a man who has reconciled with his wife, or to a man who needs to remarry after abandoning his erring wife.

How can I be a concubine?

The maid saw that her face was ugly and she comforted her, "Girl, everything will be fine."

Mei Qingyun softened her expression, but did not vent her anger on the maid. This maid had been with her for seven years, was loyal to her, and was her confidant.

After a long time, she gritted her teeth and replied: "Few men are good, basically they are all changeable."

Wei Heng was like this, and so was Gu Jingxi.

The former took a concubine, and the latter fell in love with another woman.

Not only the two of them, but also other men are not good people. The man named Wang once wrote a poem to express his love to her, but now he despises her like this.

The maid hurriedly said: "There are still good men. You will definitely meet a good husband in the future."

Mei Qingyun didn't reply. Anyway, she had seen through men. She would not like someone for long. If she remarried, she should find someone with a good family background, so that she could feel proud.

It's all Wei Heng's fault for making her life a mess.

Changxing Hou Mansion.

After the three sisters-in-law returned home, Ms. Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "Mei Qingyun back then was the object of many men's admiration? So many people wanted to marry her back to be the clan's wife, but now others are talking about marriage, but it's unexpected I want to take her as my concubine."

Mrs. Chen said quietly: "In my opinion, this is probably just the bad nature of men."

Mrs. Zhang didn't know why, so she asked, "What do the second siblings mean by these words?"

Mrs. Chen replied: "Who knows whether Mr. Wang liked her before? If Mr. Wang liked her, but she did not choose Mr. Wang, and now there is a good opportunity to despise her, she will seize the opportunity to avenge her previous shame. If the Mei family By agreeing, he will be able to trample Mei Qingyun's pride under his feet, and his revenge will be successful."

Meng Jinyao nodded in agreement. Mei Qingyun was the legitimate daughter of the Mei family, and she was both talented and beautiful. Even if the Mei family was no longer what it used to be, they would not let their legitimate daughter be a concubine.

Mrs. Zhang frowned: "This revenge is too strong."

Mrs. Chen added: "If she were ten years younger, Mr. Wang would not dare to ask her to be his concubine. Now he wants to ask her to be his concubine because he thinks that she is too old to find her husband's family and he can easily succeed."

After a moment, Mrs. Zhang asked curiously: "Third brother and sister, you met her in Huzhou before. Did she feel sorry for you?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly: "No, she was quite easy to get along with at that time."

Mrs. Zhang was a little surprised and said: "Back then she..."

However, before Zhang could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chen, who only heard Chen say: "She was quite easy to get along with back then, that's all, we won't mention her anymore, and her affairs have nothing to do with us. "

Zhang was a little unhappy when she was interrupted, but she did not continue.

At the fork in the road, Meng Jinyao said goodbye to her two sisters-in-law and returned to Weiruixuan.

Mrs. Zhang then said: "Second brother and sister, why did you interrupt me?"

Mrs. Chen responded quietly: "Mei Qingyun almost became the third brother's wife. If you bring up what happened back then in front of the third brother and sister, wouldn't you be causing trouble for her? If you have any gossip you want to say, just talk to me, sister-in-law. What?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang was startled. She didn't think much about it just now, she just wanted to chat about gossip.

After a moment, Ms. Zhang said in an unhappy tone: "Second brother and sister, if you dare to love me, you will only treat me badly. You have never thought before whether what you say will cause trouble for me."

Mrs. Chen snorted lightly: "To each other."

Mrs. Zhang: "You..."

She was probably tired after more than ten years of fighting. Chen had now lost the will to fight with her strange aura and said softly: "Sister-in-law, I'm tired. I'm going back now. You can do it yourself."

When Mrs. Zhang saw Mrs. Chen leaving like that, she suddenly felt aggrieved that she had lost the argument, and had the urge to step forward and stop Mrs. Chen and start another argument.

The Mei family has had many matchmakers come to their door in recent days, all proposing marriage to Mei Qingyun.

There were several people who wanted Mei Qingyun to be their concubine. Although Mr. Wang was rejected before, those who followed felt that rejecting Mr. Wang would not necessarily reject them.

Therefore, many officials' wives also felt a sense of crisis. More than ten years later, Mei Qingyun was still liked by others, and her husband was still thinking about her and wanted to bring her into the house.

When he was young, if Mei Qingyun hadn't married, how could he have won over Mei Qingyun? Now that he is older, Mei Qingyun still takes good care of her, and he is even more unable to compete with her. If Mei Qingyun comes in, he will completely fall out of favor.

In addition, there are also widowers who want to marry Mei Qingyun, but Mei Qingyun doesn't like any of them. These people are not as good as her ex-husband, even if they are older, and they are not as high-ranking as her ex-husband. They are just toads who want to eat swan meat. They are just wishful thinking!

Mei Qingyun's sister-in-law, Mrs. Mei, did not want her young sister-in-law to stay at home. She was very concerned about her marriage. Seeing that her sister-in-law refused them all, she couldn't help but become anxious: "Sister, I think this gentleman is quite good and has good conduct." It’s upright, the Gao family’s family tradition is also good, why are you dissatisfied?”

Mei Qingyun was already upset because her marriage was not going well. When she heard these words, she said angrily: "He is nearly fifty this year."

Mrs. Mei spoke without thinking, and said bluntly: "But you are almost thirty."

Hearing this, Mei Qingyun's face darkened: "Sister-in-law, do you think I'm old and should marry an old man?"

Mrs. Mei hurriedly said: "Sister, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that it's better to be older. Older men will love others. Look at Marquis Changxing and Mrs. Gu, they are quite good. Marquis Changxing is older than her. As a teenager, I loved her in every possible way.”

As soon as these words came out, Mei Qingyun's face turned even darker. What she hated most now was hearing other people say how good Gu Jingxi and his wife were. She said with a dark face: "Master Gao's eldest grandson will get married in three or four years. "

After saying that, she stood up and left angrily.

Mrs. Mei was displeased by her sister-in-law, and felt unhappy. She cursed in her heart: She is already old enough to be a grandmother, but she still thinks she is a little girl. It would be great if someone is willing to marry her, but she is so picky!
