The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Meng Jinyao was shocked. When she returned to her parents' home on the second day of the new year, her stepmother was still fine and in good health. How come she had a miscarriage so well?

Soon, Meng Jinyao thought of her father. She heard from her friends that her father talked nonsense after being drunk in a tavern, saying that if the third brother failed to live up to his expectations, he would report to the emperor to depose the third brother and make his stepmother's son the heir apparent.

In addition, because the second brother is promising, the third brother is disliked by his father. The third brother must be dissatisfied. If the father's idea of ​​making his stepmother's child the heir apparent is known to the third brother, the third brother is likely to take action against him. Something bad happens to the fetus in the stepmother's womb.

She asked in a serious tone: "Xianglan, why did mother suddenly have a miscarriage?"

Xianglan choked and said, "My wife accidentally fell and the fetus was unstable. The doctor prescribed anti-fetal medicine, but someone deliberately added blood-activating drugs to the medicine, and my wife had a miscarriage."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao's face turned solemn. It was impossible for a father to harm his own child. No matter how much her grandmother disliked her stepmother, she would not harm her grandson. The only person with harmful motives in the house was her third brother.

Although she had already guessed the murderer, she still asked: "Has anyone found out who did it?"

Xianglan glanced at Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi, then looked at the maid in the room, but hesitated to speak.

Meng Jinyao waved her hand, signaling the maid to leave.

After the maid retreated, Xianglan said: "It was the prince who did it, but Caijiao, the maid who was ordered to give the drug by the prince, must have been threatened. She insisted that it was because the madam had scolded her that she had evil intentions in her heart, and then she He was hit and killed in the hall, and now he is dead without any evidence."

Meng Jinyao asked again: "Do you have any evidence to prove that this matter is related to the prince?"

Xianglan shook her head and replied: "Neither the slave nor the madam have conclusive evidence, but someone saw Caijiao having an affair with the prince, and the prince has always been resentful of the madam. The servant and the madam guessed that she was the son of the prince. It’s my command.”

Meng Jinyao continued to ask: "Then Caijiao was threatened by someone and did not dare to tell the truth?"

Xianglan hesitated for a moment and then said: "At first, Caijiao complained about injustice, but when the medicine added to Madam's anti-fetal medicine was found in her house, she had no way to argue. The old lady also interrogated Caijiao. When she interrogated, the prince Caijiao was also present, and then Caijiao apologized with death. The slave girl didn't know how the old lady interrogated Caijiao. Caijiao was born in the family, and the slave girl boldly guessed that she was probably doing it for her family, and then she insisted that she was holding a grudge. , and then poisoned the lady."

Meng Jinyao frowned after hearing this. Although her stepmother and Xianglan were both guessing, she agreed with their guesses. How could a maid dare to do such a thing? Her third brother got close to Caijiao, probably because they wanted to use Caijiao to commit crimes. The stepmother's fetus was unstable and she had to take anti-fetal medicine, which gave them the opportunity to do it.

As for her grandmother keeping her third brother, she was not surprised at all. In her grandmother's mind, an unborn grandson or grandson was far less important than the third brother. Even the promising second brother was not as important as the third brother in her grandmother's mind. Importantly, the third brother is grandma's grandson.

Seeing her silence, Xianglan couldn't figure out what she meant, so she spoke again: "Sister, Madam, there is really nothing we can do. This slave is here to ask you to go back to Meng's house. Only you can help Madam."

Meng Jinyao said warmly: "Mother needs me. As a daughter, I am bound by the definition. You get up first. We will set off back to the Meng family now."

"My slave, thank you eldest lady."

Xianglan thanked her and then stood up.

-

On the carriage.

Meng Jinyao's face was heavy and her brows were furrowed. She was about to become a mother and understood the importance of children to her mother. Her stepmother was only pregnant with her first child in her twenties this year. She must have regarded her as a treasure, but the child was murdered. Now her stepmother must be sure Heartbroken, so sad that I couldn’t help myself.

Gu Jingxi reached out and touched her eyebrows, trying to smooth her frown, and said softly: "Ayao, don't be sad."

Meng Jinyao said in a deep voice: "Meng Chengxing is indeed a good son of the Sun family, and he is as vicious as ever. My grandmother was also outrageous. She had to cover up Meng Chengxing when he did such a thing, and helped cover up the crime. My second uncle's death can't let her go. Wake up, you are still overly pampering and pampering the junior you like, and not punishing the junior when he does something wrong will only make the junior more unscrupulous."

Gu Jingxi said: "In the hearts of these elders, they all think that the younger generation who made mistakes is just a child. They are young and ignorant, so there is no need to worry about it. They will naturally become sensible when they grow up. However, the child goes further and further on the detour, and in the end there is no cure. Saveable.”

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao narrowed her eyes and said, "The old man is unscrupulous and the whole family suffered. My grandfather finally managed to revive the Meng family, but she ruined it all."

Gu Jingxi comforted him: "Ayao, don't be upset. When the second brother grows up and the family tradition is straightened out, the Meng family will get better."

When she returned to her parents' home, Meng Jinyao did not visit her father and grandmother, but went directly to her stepmother's yard.

Ms. Dong was devastated by the loss of her child. She was depressed and desperate. She was lying on the bed with eyes blank. She had discovered before that the Meng family was a den of wolves. Except for the eldest daughter and Cheng Zhang, there was no good person in the whole family, but she did not expect that There are even more suffocating things waiting for her. Chengxing knows how to harm others at a young age, but her mother-in-law chooses to protect her unconditionally even though she knows it is Chengxing. Her husband is also unreliable and does not dare to resist her mother, but only comforts her. There will be more children in the future, and in the end she will have to rely on her married stepdaughter.

At this time, a maid trotted in and reported, "Madam, the eldest girl and eldest uncle are here."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Dong finally had some sparkle in her eyes and said hurriedly: "Go and invite the eldest girl and eldest uncle in."

After Meng Jinyao entered the house, she saw Mrs. Dong sitting on the bed, her face was haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, she had obviously cried. Her heart tightened, and she walked forward quickly with Gu Jingxi's support, and asked with concern: "Mom, are you okay?"

Mrs. Dong saw that her concern didn't seem to be fake, but that she truly cared about herself. A warm current flowed through her heart. She glanced at her belly again and said guiltily: "Ayao, you are inconvenient. I shouldn't have let you travel so much." Yes, but I really have no choice, and you are the only one who can help me now."

Meng Jinyao sat down on the edge of the bed and said warmly: "Why is there such a need for such politeness between mother and daughter?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Dong's eyes filled with tears again: "Thank you so much for running for me today."

Meng Jinyao asked warmly: "Mom, you don't have to be polite, but how do you want me to help you? I heard from Xianglan that Caijiao committed suicide, and there is no evidence that she is dead now. If the third brother insists that this matter has nothing to do with him, and my grandmother is protecting her, we will There is nothing we can do against him unless there is other circumstantial evidence."

Dong looked at her and said firmly: "Ayao, I want to make peace with your father."
