At this time, the silence was broken by the words of Doctor Ling: "Madam, madam, the prince suffered a sudden high fever after catching a cold. Once the fever subsides, he will be fine after a few days of rest."

Hearing this, Mrs. Meng felt sorry for her grandson while feeling sorry for her. Their family had been studying hard for more than half a year, and they were about to take the exam, but they suddenly fell ill. The method arrived for the assessment as scheduled.

Soon, Mrs. Meng pointed the finger at the maids waiting in the yard. After the doctor left, she immediately punished the maids in the yard. Because of their poor care, Meng Chengxing had to miss the assessment of Lingshan Academy. Each person was deducted Two months' monthly payment as punishment.

Zhao said: "Mother, Chengxing is so ill. My husband, a father, has to know about it. My daughter-in-law will go find her husband right now."

Mrs. Meng glanced at her daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law's maid had gone before, but her son was missing. Now that the daughter-in-law is going in person, her son may not be able to see him, and said: "No, I will send someone to look for him later."

Mrs. Zhao responded softly: "Okay." After saying this, she said filially and considerately, "Mom, it's so late, why don't you go back and rest first? It would be nice to have your daughter-in-law here. My daughter-in-law will take good care of Chengxing. And Chengxing Zhang, you’re going back to the academy tomorrow, so go back and rest first.”

Although Meng Chengzhang was not nervous about his younger brother's condition, he has now changed his mind. He will not leave so soon tomorrow. He will first go to the Changxing Marquis Mansion to find his eldest sister. He said, "I am also worried that my third brother is so ill. Tomorrow's schedule Cancel it. It won’t be too late for me to go back after my third brother’s fever subsides.”

When Mrs. Meng heard what her daughter-in-law and grandson said, she felt very concerned. She said warmly: "If you are interested, I will go back first. If anything happens, people will come to find me."

Zhao responded: "Yes, mother."

As soon as Mrs. Meng stepped out, her face turned gloomy, and she ordered the maid next to her to inform her son and come to Rongfu Hall to see her immediately.

In that room, Meng Dongyuan and his beautiful concubine were at a critical moment when they heard the maid's report coming from outside the door: "Uncle, the old lady wants you to go over there right now. Don't delay for a moment."

Meng Dongyuan's good deeds were interrupted, and Meng Dongyuan's mood was instantly defeated. He also looked very ugly. Previously, Zhaoshi sent a maid to look for him, but he just disappeared. Unexpectedly, Zhaoshi actually went to find his mother to complain to her. But his mother ordered him to go over, and he had to obey. He immediately got up, put on his clothes, and rushed to Rongfu Hall with a calm expression.

When Mrs. Meng saw him, she saw that he had a sullen face and a displeased look on his face. She became even more angry and scolded her: "Your son is so sick and you are hanging out with your concubine. Let's go find you." When you come back, you have to ask for help. Are you such a father?"

Meng Dongyuan was stunned and asked blankly: "Mom, Chengzhang is fine, why is he sick?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Meng's face darkened: "You only have one son, Chengzhang? No wonder Chengxing did stupid things before, but you are so partial to this. Mr. Sun was wrong at the beginning, but your son is yours, and you are in his blood." His blood is still the child you hold in the palm of your hand, how can you bear to do this to him because of the Sun family? "

Meng Dongyuan knew that he was in the wrong and did not dwell on the issue. He asked demurely: "Mother, my son really didn't know that Chengxing was sick. He is in such good health, how could he suddenly fall ill?"

Mrs. Meng snorted coldly: "Of course you don't know. Qianyi sent people to look for you, but you just disappeared behind closed doors. She didn't even have the chance to tell you that you fell in love with Qianyi just to have fun with that unworthy person." What’s the difference between doting on a concubine and destroying your wife?”

Meng Dongyuan said hurriedly: "Mother's words are serious. My son thought she was causing trouble, so he ignored her."

Mrs. Meng asked in a deep voice: "Qianyi is gentle, virtuous, considerate and filial. What are you dissatisfied with? You are smearing her everywhere, confusing right and wrong and saying that she is not good."

Meng Dongyuan explained: "Mother, she..."

Mrs. Meng glanced at him and interrupted him: "Okay, I don't want to listen to your sophistry. It's normal for men to love young and beautiful women, but your wife can't always be young and beautiful. Even if she marries you a ten-year-old woman now. A five-year-old will also grow old. A good woman like Qianyi has no other shortcomings except that she is a little older. You must understand this truth when marrying a virtuous wife and taking concubines. The young and beautiful concubine must also give Qianyi some face."

Meng Dongyuan was frustrated. No matter what he said, his mother would not believe it. A gentle woman in his mother's eyes was like a shrew in front of him. He would only suffer when facing Zhao.

If Zhaoshi sends someone to look for him tonight, it means that Chengxing is ill, will he just disappear? It was because the people sent by Zhaoshi didn't say anything and only asked him to go back that he was angry. He even suspected that Zhaoshi had deliberately not explained anything clearly. Thinking that he would ignore it, he went to file a complaint and then let his mother know. This woman is really hateful for making trouble for him!

Mrs. Meng regretted: "Chengxing has a high fever and can't catch up with the Lingshan Academy's assessment. I don't know when the next time the academy will recruit students."

Meng Dongyuan was very happy about this and said disapprovingly: "Even if Chengxing goes, he may not be able to pass the assessment. It's good to be sick now, so as not to be embarrassed. Then I will have an excuse to tell others that he was sick and couldn't go." Participate rather than attend and fail again.”

Mrs. Meng frowned and said with an ugly face: "What do you mean by that? Chengxing has been smart since he was a child. The teachers who taught him said that he will definitely be on the gold medal list in the future. For more than half a year, he has been studying hard all day long. Isn’t it easy to pass the assessment of Lingshan Academy?”

Meng Dongyuan didn't take it seriously: "Mother, when he was hired to teach, which gentleman didn't praise his employer's children? Just listen to such flattery, how can you take it seriously?"

Mrs. Meng didn't realize that her son was very articulate before, but now she was so angry that her blood surged. She said something she shouldn't have said in her anger: "You are blind and blind. You have contributed greatly to the decline of our Meng family!"

As soon as these words came out, Meng Dongyuan was stunned.

The more Mrs. Meng spoke, the angrier she became: "If I had known that you couldn't hold up the wall, I should have passed you by and let Chengxing inherit the title."

Meng Dongyuan's pupils suddenly tightened, and he looked at his mother in shock and disbelief. After all, he was the child of his mother in ten months of pregnancy, but his mother treated him like this. No matter how much other people's mothers love their grandson, they still care about their grandson and their son. They all choose their son, but not his mother.

In an instant, Meng Dongyuan felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He had to dethrone Chengxing from his position as the heir apparent. Otherwise, if something happened to him one day, he would inherit the title.

However, it is also a question as to what name should be used to announce that the emperor dethroned the evil heir apparent and established Chengzhang as heir apparent.

When Mrs. Meng saw that her son was silent, she also realized that she had accidentally spoken her true words, but she could not take them back. She was the elder and the younger generation would not live up to expectations. So what if she said it?

Thinking like this, Mrs. Meng said again: "That's all, you are already dozens of years old, and your career is basically a foregone conclusion. I don't insist on too much. I just hope that you will be more decent in the future. I'm tired, you can go back. ”

Meng Dongyuan lowered his eyes and responded softly: "Mom, please calm down and have a good rest. My son will come see you tomorrow."

On the way back, Meng Dongyuan was thinking about how to depose Chengxing as the heir apparent.
