Meng Dongyuan left Rongfu Hall with a frustrated look on his face, regretting more and more that he had not persisted in the past. If he had persisted in the past and punished Chengxing for his evil deeds, Mr. Dong would not have reconciled with him, and he would not be forced to marry now. Zhao was a tough woman, not only gentle and considerate, but also double-dealing to deceive his mother's trust.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. With a sullen face, he walked hurriedly in the direction of his yard.

Not far away, Meng Chengzhang learned that his father and stepmother were going to Rongfu Hall to serve tea, and he had been observing the situation. Not long ago, he saw his stepmother Zhao passing by with a smile on her face. Now that he saw his father's face looking ugly, he Knowing that her stepmother's skills were superior to her father's, not only was she not bullied by her father, but she also made him very angry.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind Meng Chengzhang: "Second brother, what are you looking at here?"

Meng Chengzhang's expression froze, and then he turned his head. He saw Meng Chengxing looking at him with penetrating eyes. He turned his head back and said softly: "I think my father is not in a good mood."

Meng Chengxing followed his gaze and saw his father's back hurriedly leaving. He thought thoughtfully: "My father is not satisfied with this marriage. It's strange that he is in a good mood. But this is a good thing for us. What do you think, second brother?”

Meng Chengzhang frowned: "Third brother, what do you mean by this?"

Meng Chengxing sneered: "Second brother, don't pretend to be stupid with me. My father and the Zhao family are at odds, and the Zhao family does not dare to challenge us. Otherwise, once we complain, the Zhao family will definitely suffer. This is not like the Dong family." , When Dong was favored by her father, he always favored her in everything."

Meng Chengzhang said: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense. Aunt Dong has never taught us." He said, paused, and then changed the topic, "Six days later, the assessment of Lingshan Academy will begin. Third brother has studied hard for half a year. You are confident, I congratulate my third brother in advance.”

Hearing this, Meng Chengxing's face froze. In the past six months, he had not studied very hard because he knew that studying was useless and he would never pass the exam. But his brother's words made him feel guilty and he smiled sarcastically: "Two Brother, the exam hasn’t started yet, and I may not be able to pass it.”

Meng Chengzhang patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him with a smile: "Third brother, you must have confidence in yourself. Grandma and father have great expectations for you. Grandma also said before that when you come back from school every day, you stay in the study. Studying hard here, my third brother works so hard, it will be easy to pass the examination of Lingshan Academy."

After hearing this, Meng Chengxing felt more and more guilty. He was staying in the study. He was not alone in the study, and there was also the maid he had taken in before.

Meng Chengzhang glanced at him, his smile became more and more meaningful, and he said softly: "Third brother, I have to take a step forward." After that, he turned and left.

Meng Chengxing's face darkened. His father didn't care whether he passed the exam, but his grandmother did. She expected too much from him, and he felt stressed.

In that compartment, Meng Dongyuan returned to his yard and was already hungry. When he saw the bowl of white porridge brought by the maid, he immediately became angry: "Who said I want to drink white porridge?"

Zhao said with a smile: "Husband, mother said that she would prepare light food for you. I thought that white porridge is very light and can also cleanse the stomach. Husband drank so much wine yesterday and fell down, so you should stop drinking first. ”

When Meng Dongyuan heard this, his face turned dark: "Did you do it on purpose?"

Zhao's face was innocent: "Husband, I don't understand what you are talking about. I just followed my mother's wishes. My husband was also present at the time. I asked my mother about it."

As soon as she mentioned her old mother, Meng Dongyuan became discouraged. Looking at the white porridge, his hunger became even worse. He sat down with a dark face, picked up the white porridge and wolfed it down. After finishing the bowl of white porridge, he wanted to eat more. The maid brought another bowl of white porridge, and his face became even more ugly. He put the bowl down hard, snorted coldly, stood up and walked outside the house to calm down in the study.

Zhao didn't stop her. Her husband would eat as much as he wanted, and would get upset if he didn't eat. Anyway, she was not the one who was hungry. In fact, there were other better light foods, but she prepared them according to the worst standards. For no other reason than this bastard. She didn't deserve the meal she carefully prepared. She prepared a bowl of white porridge, which was light as her mother-in-law said. No one could fault it.

The maids looked at each other.

Zhaoshi said warmly: "Uncle, I'm full. You can clear away the dishes."

The maid hurriedly stepped forward to clean up.

Later, Zhao called the maids in the yard over again. One of the maids happened to see that she was not favored and came late. She immediately killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, shocked everyone, and told her own rules in a dignified manner.

The maids saw that even though she was not liked by her uncle, she was not easy to mess with. Moreover, the day after she got married, she was approved by the old lady and handed over to the middle-class wife, that is, the powerful mistress of the house. If they want to provoke her, then why not? You have to weigh it carefully.

-

Two days later.

Mrs. Meng thought about letting Chengzhang take Chengxing to Lingshan Academy, so that she would have someone to take care of her on the way. Chengzhang would go back to school while Chengxing would take the assessment.

However, the night before departure, Meng Chengxing suddenly fell ill and developed a high fever.

When Mrs. Meng heard the maid's report, she suddenly lost all sleep. She got up from the bed, dressed neatly, and then hurried to her grandson's yard. When she arrived, the doctor was checking Chengxing's pulse. Her daughter-in-law and Chengxing Zhang Du was there, watching over the bed with a worried expression. She was secretly satisfied that Chengzhang still cared about her younger brother, and her daughter-in-law was also very kind to Chengxing.

However, she did not see her son, so she asked: "Qianyi, where is Ayuan?"

Zhaoshi replied hesitantly: "My husband, he is with Aunt Zheng. When I learned that Chengxing was ill, I sent my maid to look for my husband, but he didn't see the maid. I originally wanted to go in person, but I was worried about Chengxing, so I came here first."

After hearing this, Mrs. Meng's face suddenly darkened. She knew that her son deliberately did not see the maids. Because his son did not like the Zhao family, he did not even see the maids under the Zhao family.

Zhao lowered her eyes slightly to hide the smile in her eyes. In fact, the maid could have informed her directly, but she just ordered the maid to find him. She was also sure that her husband would not see the maid, and everything was under her control. .

On the wedding night, her husband fainted and had no choice but to sleep in the wedding room. From the next day, he stopped sleeping in the wedding room and went to the concubine's room instead. But she didn't mind this either. The concubine rarely wanted such an old man. , she is not surprised, she has the power of being the head of the house, and if her mother-in-law approves, the maids must respect her.

However, she didn't want that bastard to live too freely. If necessary, she could use some tricks to cause some trouble for that bastard. No, the opportunity has come. I believe this bastard will get scolded by his old mother tomorrow.

Meng Chengzhang looked at his stepmother calmly. He felt that her stepmother was wilted and bad, but this kind of badness was quite lovable. After getting along with each other for the past two days, he also knew that his stepmother was actually not a bad person. Treating his father like this was probably Because I don't like my father.
