Chapter 190: Leave a way out

Meng Yu kowtowed and kept pleading for Fu’s favor. He had never been a gentleman, but this was the second time he had lost his temper. The first time was when Elder Duke Meng asked him to marry Jiang Yishi.

Elder Duke Meng looked at this grandson. Since the founding of the dynasty, this was the third Wen Jiu Ren (文举人) that the old Meng family had produced, and perhaps the first Wen Jinshi (文進士). It is also the youngest scholar among all the nobles, and perhaps the youngest scholar.

For the sake of this child, even if we find out in the future why Fu is betraying the family, we can only dispose of it privately ……

The old master said, “You go out. The elders have an idea in their hearts about what to do.”

Meng Yu Yu could only wipe a tear from her eye and get up to go out.

Meng Hua was waiting under a large tree outside Fu An Hall, and when he saw Meng Yu Yu come out, he beckoned, “Third brother, here.”

Meng Yu walked over.

Meng Hua asked, “Third brother, what happened to Mother?”

Meng Ruyu was not in a position to elaborate, “Because of something about big sister ……”

Meng Hua gasped, “That stupid person got into trouble again? Hmph, my mother has loved her since she was a child, more than she has loved me as her own daughter, but she’s doing everything she can to find trouble for my mother. I’m going to look for grandfather, why is it that when she breaks into trouble, it’s my mother who disposes of her.”

Before she didn’t know what was going on, now that she heard it was because of Meng Yue, she was furious.

Meng Yue grabbed her, “Don’t go. There is father in, mother can’t stand big aggression. Alas, that thing mother did indeed owe, always have to let grandfather out of anger.”

“What in the end?”

Meng Zhui Yu did not answer and stiffly pulled Meng Hua away.

That night, Grandfather talked to him about a lot of family matters. He also told him to let go of the burden that his mother had done something wrong and it had nothing to do with him.

Grandfather not only vented Meng Yue’s anger at inviting the Crown Prince on his mother, but also put the anger of Qu, Meng resigned Mo’s grievances from childhood, Meng Yue married into the Huang family and was rubbed, and Jiang Yixi was criticized as soon as she entered the house, all of these things were counted on his mother……. He said that his mother was not merciful, and that she was intent on harshly treating and teaching the crooked stepchildren and stepdaughters.

He knew that even with his father’s strong protection and his own strong pleas for mercy, his mother was still going to be aggrieved. He had to work harder and strive to pass the entrance exam in three years, or even enter the top three, in order to have more leverage to make his mother less aggrieved. Just like Meng Zhimo, when he got ahead, his grandfather would just listen to his words.

Some of those things were done improperly by the mother, but some of them were just a matter of adding insult to injury.

For example, Meng Yue’s affair in the Huang family. She could not control her subordinates, who went to her former mother-in-law to talk too much, and her mother-in-law took her anger out on her …… This is at best a bad subordinate sent by her mother, and the main responsibility should be on Meng Yue, who was not careful in hiring people.

Another example is Qu’s death, a married man to provoke an unmarried girl, and the housekeeping is not strict, let the subordinate to pass the word to Qu, resulting in Qu angry premature birth, hemorrhage and death. If you want to blame should also blame the father, why are all counted on the mother’s head.

Meng Zhuyu’s face turned red. Father looked square and serious, how can he do those things ……

In the east room of Fu An Hall, only four people remained, the old Duke and Duchess and the Duke and Duchess of Cheng.

The Old Duke and Duchess sat on the Luohan bed.

Fu walked over and knelt down, kowtowed and said, ”My daughter-in-law thought about it for a few days, and that incident was indeed inappropriate. It’s good that it didn’t affect Yue’er, my daughter-in-law will certainly learn from it.”

Duke Cheng kneeled down and said, “Father, mother, that matter is my son’s fault. It was the son who allowed Fu to take Yue’er to meet Luo Zhongshu, if you want to punish, punish the son, ……”

The old duke was so angry that he splashed tea on the face of Duke Cheng and scolded, “Unworthy and stupid thing, your eyes and heart are only loaded with this woman. You don’t think about it, if Resignation Mo hadn’t found out beforehand and made preparations, Zhao’s girl’s fate would have been that of the moon maiden.

“Then think about Qu who died early, that child is pitiful, she was not even twenty years old when she died. There is also Resignation Mo, when he was a child, he was abetted by evil slaves to do bad things, fortunately, he had the sense of calculation at a young age and didn’t fall for it.

“He looked for the elders to confide in him, and no one in the elders believed him, and you had to beat him up …… His reputation for being petty, selfish, and having a lot of heart also spread out. At the age of fifteen, he was finally forced by you to go to the battlefield as he wished. You did not investigate clearly and gave him a spy, almost killing and harming Blind. There is also Yue’er, if it wasn’t for me and Resignation Mo’s scheming, she would have died in the old Huang family ……”

The old Duke of State was depressed. This woman scourged the Meng family for more than twenty years, and now that he knows it, there are some things that he can’t say painfully, he can’t get this woman killed, but he must also leave her a way to live.

There are some things, on the surface look Fu’s is harming Ruimo and Meng Yue, entangled its root is no longer completely set up stepchildren stepchildren so simple, but set up the entire Meng family.

She and her sons and daughters are also part of the Meng family, why should she help outsiders to fix their own family. Zhenzhi Houfu is again a relative but also just a cousin, Zhao Guifei is again a noble consort but also just a cousin, that is, all fools know that they should help their own family at the critical moment instead of helping them. What’s more, the eldest of the family, Elder Duke, has always emphasized that he is not allowed to take sides and is only loyal to the Emperor.

But Fu’s just ignored her husband and children to help them. She’s such a shrewd woman, why did she do this, for what purpose, and what backhanded ……

Meng Elder Duke and Meng Ruimo deliberated over and over again, and could only leave her behind for the time being, and put another opening to find out the original reason in due course.

However, for the sake of the family’s safety and Meng Rumo’s husband and wife’s safety, it is absolutely impossible to let Fu manage this family again. She could stay for the time being, her power in the Cheng Guo Gongfu must be uprooted. The reason for this is to gaslight the original spouse and treat her stepson and stepdaughter harshly.

Through this trial, what made Elder Duke Meng and Meng Zhimo happy was that Duke Cheng was not so foolish as to side with King Ying’s party. He was just compelled by this woman and did several foolish things from an emotional standpoint rather than from a political interest standpoint.

Although they were angry with him and couldn’t see his demeanor of not even caring about his children for the sake of a woman, this was a minor point, at least the political stance wasn’t skewed.

The old lady was also frightened when she heard that Meng Yue was almost taken to the palace by the crown prince. Hearing again that Qu, who was eight months pregnant, had gone into premature labor after hearing about Duke Cheng’s unbearable anger beforehand, she was also furious.

She pointed to Fu spat, scolded, “you this shameless woman, seduce married men, gas the original spouse, set up the original spouse children, but also pretend to be virtuous. Get lost, take a break, our family does not want this kind of shameless woman.”

Fu’s bashful, covered her face and cried, “Wronged, wronged ah. Master, what happened in the end, you know best. It’s clear that Master coaxed me, who was not old enough to know anything, and I had no choice but to marry in.

“The subordinate learned from Qu and caused her to give birth prematurely, and it was also the Meng family’s poor housekeeping, so it’s none of my business. I did what the master told me to do about Yue’er, and it was the master who told me to do that. But now, my in-laws are scolding me like this, what face do I have to live ……”

There are many things to do today, the second shift will be later.
