Chapter 60: Good Stepmother
Duke Cheng was so frightened that he hurriedly made amends to the old Duke, “My son was wrong, my son’s words were unprofessional.”
The old Duke snorted coldly and ignored him, saying to Meng Zhimo, “You go back to the manor, we’ll handle things here.”
He is to see Meng Ruimo gas dizzy head, there are two times in the eyes out of the essence of light, afraid of being seen clues, hurry to drive him to the car …….
Meng Ruimo narrative is not complete, many places embarrassed to say out, but Jiang Yishi smart ah, after some brainstorming, conscious of the ins and outs clear.
After listening to this unsuccessful “catching adultery” case, Jiang Yishi like a million arrows piercing the heart.
In her previous life, they must have drugged Meng Ruimo in this way. Meng Ruimo has always been wary of the eldest Mrs. Meng, living in the outer study is strictly guarded, a few boys and girls absolutely trust. So, it is impossible to drug in his territory.
Then, he must have been invited to the main courtyard. If the Duke of State did not give the word, he would not go. Even if he went, if the Duke of State was not there, he would have left immediately.
Meng Ruimo was so wary, all because of Duke Cheng.
Great Lady Meng designed Meng Ruimo, I don’t know if Duke Cheng was truly unaware of being used, or was a participant.
People are most sad, often by the closest relatives hurt.
And silly yourself, the people around you have been betrayed still do not know, how will not be bad people counting.
Fortunately, in this life, she did not go back to climb high up Meng Ruyue, the eldest Mrs. Meng in order to put Meng Ruimo and Bai Ziwei together as a pair again designed that drama. And Meng Ruimo’s eyes got better and recognized their plot. In this way, Meng Ruimo will be more wary of Meng DaMin while at the same time aggravating the old Duke’s suspicion of her.
Jiang Yishi said, “Grandfather Meng is only suspicious of Grand Madam Meng, Old Taijun and Duke Cheng absolutely trust Grand Madam Meng. The end result will definitely be that in front of the elders, everything is Bai Ziwei’s fault, and that Great Lady Meng doesn’t know anything about it. For the sake of Great Lady Meng’s face, what Bai Ziwei had done would be suppressed.
“And the outward story is that the one who presumptuously seduced you was a maid, and you recognized your mistake with bad eyes. Perhaps, it will also blame you for Bai Ziwei’s excuse for leaving the mansion, because your blindness ruined her reputation. Great Mrs. Meng had no choice but to send her out of the house for the sake of you in everything.”
Meng Zhimo also knew this was the outcome. Before, as long as he was up against Fu it was all his fault, it was his mind that was too much. And Fu’s atmosphere was stoic, preferring to condemn herself for the sake of her stepson. However, this time, it is always good to sow the seeds of suspicion for grandfather.
He sighed long and said, “Miss Jiang, I really hope that my eyes will be good tomorrow, I have too many things to do …… I suspect that Fu’s targeting me is not only just her targeting me and targeting the title, but that there is someone behind her, targeting something much bigger… …”
“You mean the Third Prince, King Ping?”
Jiang Yishi just asked, but felt that she had made a fool of herself, and hurriedly smiled awkwardly, “If it’s difficult for Brother Meng, just pretend that I didn’t ask.”
Meng Zhimo mused for a moment and pulled away to another topic.
“As soon as I went to the border to fight, Fu instigated my grandmother to betroth me to Lord Wang’s fourth girl. Minister Wang is an official in the Ministry of Rites, or an official who joined the capital after I left. He’s said to have a good reputation and is upright. But I’m absolutely convinced that there’s something wrong with Ms. Wang’s fourth girl, because a good girl, Fu, wouldn’t be betrothed to me. I also thought that I would find a way to withdraw from the marriage when I returned to the capital.
“Then I took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage after my eyes were injured, and the Wang family half-heartedly agreed. After that, Fu wanted to bring Bai Ziwei to me several times, but I didn’t agree, fortunately my grandfather supported me. Otherwise, this marriage I simply can not push off ……
“Fu is very good at acting, a good daughter-in-law, a good mother, a good stepmother, a good woman, she has interpreted so many identities to the extreme. In my family’s eyes, she is just so good. Especially my father, he only has her in his eyes and can’t allow anyone else to question her a bit.”
Meng Zhimo blushed a little, feeling that it wasn’t good for him to comment on female elders in this way, and if outsiders heard it, he would be criticized. But he had endured it for too long, held it in for too long, and in front of Jiang Yixi, many words were not spat out.
“I am not having a big heart, not maliciously speculating about her ……”
Jiang Yishi wanted to say, I know it, Great Lady Meng is such a person, even more malicious than what you said.
Instead, her mouth said, “Big Brother Meng is wise, I trust your feelings and your words.”
Meng Zhimo looked at Jiang Yishi, the girl in front of him was beautiful, gentle, intelligent, and looked at himself with eyes full of concern. She cured her eyes for herself, her father lost his life to save his own, she always understands herself so well and thinks what she thinks ……
Meng Zhimo’s heart itchy, as if blowing into the soft wind, has been collapsing tight body and mind also soothed down. There are still people in this world who understand him, people who are dedicated to his intentions.
He could not help but open the heart has been closed, said softly, “When I was a child, listen to my sister’s nurse quietly told me, my mother pregnant with me eight months, my father in the countryside inadvertently saved the temple to pay incense, how the two people look at the right eyes, privately met a few times. A mother-in-law even deliberately told my mother about this matter, my mother was furious. My father is not looking at the maid, but the official family miss, her birth is even higher than my mother …….”
At that time, Meng Laoguo Gong was out fighting in the war, the old lady Meng’s health was not good, Qu didn’t dare to bother her with this matter, so she was angry with Meng Daoming, who was then the world’s son, and gave birth to the child in advance, and the person also died of hemorrhage.
A year later, Fu married into the Meng family. Fu’s face is delicate, gentle and smooth, much more pleasing to the eye than the simple pouting and too charming Qu’s. She treated Meng Yue and Meng Ruimo well. She treated Meng Yue and Meng Zhimo exceptionally well, and also promised Meng Daoming that the two children were too young, and that she would wait until they were a few years older before asking for her own children…….
Fu did not get pregnant until Meng Yue was six years old and Meng Zhimo was four years old, giving birth to Meng Zhiyu and Meng Hua.
This made Meng Daoming greatly touched, Meng old lady extremely satisfied, at the same time, Fu also became the good stepmother praised by the capital. Even the Empress Dowager praised her and told all stepwives to learn from Meng Daoming’s daughter-in-law Fu.
Meng Daoming and Old Madam Meng had more than once cautioned Meng Zhimo’s siblings that their real mother was no better than that, and that they should be filial to her.
However, the people left behind by Qu were slowly being cleaned out, leaving only one Sister Lin, Meng Yue’s nursemaid. Perhaps Sister Lin was smooth, or perhaps Fu didn’t dare to clean up too much at once, and had to keep one person for show.
When Meng Zhimo was seven years old, once he climbed a tree to dig out bird eggs and didn’t go to school on time, after receiving a ruler from the teacher and a beating from his father, Sister Lin quietly pulled him aside and told him some past events in tears.
Let him have a number in his heart, Fu is a sweet-talking person, and even more so, do not listen to the instigation of people around him, those people are intentionally bringing him down. Grandfather, grandmother, second uncle, Mr. The words are really for his good, must do what they say ……
