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

Seeing that the family was getting along harmoniously, Mrs. Gu felt comfortable, especially when she saw Meng Jinyao next to her biological son. The little girl was gentle and gentle when talking to Yao Ling.

When she was happy, she gave each of her daughters-in-law a hairpin. She did not favor one over the other. The bowls of water were flat and made of jade with excellent water quality. Each hairpin was valuable.

Both Zhang and Chen were flattered. On the second day after they entered the house, when they served tea to their mother-in-law, their mother-in-law gave the new daughter-in-law a greeting gift. She had never given them anything else, but their children did. reward.

"Daughter-in-law, thank you mother."

The three of them thanked Mrs. Gu together, all with smiles on their faces.

Mrs. Gu looked at them and spoke in a gentle tone: "The daughters-in-law in our house next door are fighting openly and secretly, making the house a mess. The men have no intention of working hard for their future. Fortunately, our family is all good daughters-in-law. Looking at you, my mother feels very sad. It’s comfort.”

As soon as these words came out, Madam Zhang and Madam Chen paused slightly, knowing that their mother-in-law was saying this to them. To put it bluntly, she was warning them not to fight with the third daughter-in-law. As long as they did not fight or rob each other, there would be no intrigue. .

However, they didn't show anything. They almost said in unison with Meng Jinyao: "Daughters-in-law will obey their mother's teachings."

The whole family was enjoying themselves happily, but after a while, some unsighted people started making trouble in front of Mrs. Gu, refusing to open any pot.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Meng Jinyao with concern and asked: "By the way, third brother and sister, what happened yesterday? I heard it was a dowry, but Mrs. Meng bullied you because of her status as an elder? If you have any difficulties, Why don't you talk to us? Let's discuss countermeasures for you together."

After she finished speaking, everyone subconsciously looked at Meng Jinyao.

Mrs. Gu glanced at Mr. Zhang with a slightly displeased look. Not long ago, she had told them not to fight openly and secretly, but now she forgot and started fighting immediately.

Meng Jinyao turned to look at Mrs. Zhang and saw Mrs. Zhang's expression of concern, but she knew that Mrs. Zhang just wanted to see her laugh, so she responded with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. It's actually not a big deal. I solved it yesterday."

Mrs. Zhang looked surprised: "Is it solved? Although I didn't see the battle yesterday, I heard the maid said it was scary. I don't know what happened. I was afraid that my third brother and sister would be bullied, so I asked."

"Maybe the maid said the situation is serious and makes my sister-in-law worried about me."

Meng Jinyao smiled at Yan Yan and spoke briefly about what happened: "The thing is like this. After my biological mother passed away, she left a dowry. When I was young, my stepmother said she would take care of it for me first and wait until I get married. Make me a dowry. It’s just that I was counting the dowry a few days ago and didn’t find it, so I had to come to ask for it. Yesterday they sent someone to deliver the dowry, so I had to count it.”

Her smile was calm, her expression was magnanimous, and there was no trace of displeasure at all. Her narration was brisk, as if she was not talking about her own affairs, but only other people's affairs.

Zhang's heart sank. She knew that Meng Jinyao would be difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect that she would be so stable when faced with such a big event. If it were any other person, her parents would be ashamed to talk about it, but she acted like nothing happened. , but he was like a clown who stirred up trouble, trying to maintain a smile and responded: "The fact that Mrs. Meng deducted dowry from her third younger brother and sister is really..."

Meng Jinyao nodded, as if talking about a trivial matter: "It's not uncommon for stepmothers to embezzle stepdaughters' dowries. It just happened to happen to me, but it's not a big deal. I just want to get it back."

Mrs. Zhang said sarcastically: "Yes, fortunately the third brother and sister got it back."

Meng Jinyao nodded again, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. If she were a few years younger, she might feel embarrassed and ashamed, but she doesn't care about such things now, so no one can use this to cause trouble for her.

Mrs. Gu was originally satisfied with her daughter-in-law, but now she was even more satisfied after seeing her resolve the embarrassment with a few words. Such a good girl was not worthy of that brat Xiu Ming, but she was perfect for Yao Ling.

Mrs. Gu sighed softly: "As you get older, it will no longer be useful. It will be exhausted soon. You all should go back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ms. Zhang felt a little uneasy. She was fine just now, so why is she running out of energy now? Could it be that he is dissatisfied with her? She didn't say anything just now. The big news about Meng Jinyao had already been known to everyone.

The people in the third room said their goodbyes one after another and left the Shou'an Hall.

The second wife, Mrs. Chen, got closer to Mrs. Zhang and said meaningfully: "Sister-in-law is a little too anxious."

Zhang's face froze and he glanced at her.

Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and smiled, and reminded her in a low voice: "Isn't it a good feeling to want to see other people's jokes but end up being the joke yourself? In front of the mother, it is better for the sister-in-law to be smarter, otherwise she will be upset. Yue, you have to hand over your right to be a middle-income person."

These words seemed to be spoken from the bottom of my heart, but they sounded harsh in my ears and were particularly ironic.

Mrs. Zhang's face darkened and she didn't reply. She quickened her pace with a cold face. As soon as she left, Mrs. Jiang, the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, naturally had to quickly follow her mother-in-law. Gu Xuanyi and her sister-in-law also followed her mother's pace.

Ms. Chen snorted lightly and wanted to talk to her husband, but when she saw the three brothers walking in front talking, she was too smart to follow. On the other side, her son Gu Xiuhong was walking with Gu Xiuyuan and Gu Xiuwen from the eldest room, so she took them with her. The concubine Gu Xuanling followed behind and left.

Meng Jinyao walked slowly at the back, glanced at the Zhang family and Chen family who parted ways in front of them, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, I just wanted to watch a good show, and it's over." Then she asked Qingqiu next to her in a low voice, "Qingqiu , which one do you think is more powerful among them?"

Qingqiu replied: "As for Madam, I think the Second Madam is more powerful."

Meng Jinyao nodded slightly: "Yes, I think so."

Qingqiu thought thoughtfully and reminded: "Madam, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. You still have to be careful."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao paused and nodded immediately. As long as there is a conflict of interest, there will be a struggle. Now the eldest lady and the second lady are in charge of the central bank, and they are secretly competing with each other. Maybe one day the mother-in-law will ask her to take charge of the central bank, and trouble will come.

After a long while, Meng Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled: "That's all, the soldiers have come to cover up the water and the soil. I'd better go back and calculate the total harvest of the village and the shop over the years, so that I can ask for money from the Yongchang Mansion as soon as possible. This money Ah, it’s still safe to keep it in your own pocket. If you keep it in other people’s pockets for a long time, it may be spent by others one day.”

Qingqiu smiled and nodded: "That's what Madam said."
