Chapter 252 – Marrying Abroad

Jiang Yishi picked up her son and made out for a while before realizing that Meng Hua was actually sitting here as well. Since Fu’s accident, it was the first time Meng Hua had come to Fu An Hall.

Fu’s dowry had all been sorted out, and Jiang Yishi had people move the account books and physical objects to Fu An Hall. She didn’t dare to keep them in the main courtyard for fear that Duke Cheng would smash them in anger.

The old lady asked Meng Hua to take a look at the books and objects.

Although Meng Hua stayed for dinner, she had her subordinates pick out some vegetarian dishes and ate alone in a small table.

After everyone finished dinner, Meng Zhimo and a few men went to the outer courtyard to discuss things, and Jiang Yixi brought her child back to the Floating Life Residence.

She and Second Grandma Meng were joking along the way when suddenly Meng Hua called out to her from behind.

Jiang Yishi stayed to turn back, and Meng Hua walked up and curtsied to her.

“Sister-in-law, thank you, my mother did those things and you still organized her dowry so …… completely. I also want to say I’m sorry, my mother didn’t do the right thing, and I did wrong before, I shouldn’t have been unreasonable to big brother and sister-in-law.”

Without waiting for Jiang Yishi to speak, she turned around and hurriedly left.

Jiang Yishi and Second Grandma Meng looked at each other.

Meng second grandmother said in a low voice, “In the next morning, the third aunt went to Fu An Hall to see the account books and physical objects, she may have thought that her sister-in-law hated her would tamper with the dowry, and that it would be good to keep the original dowry of the Fu’s, not realizing that even the Fu’s after the earning of the Fu’s were given to them …….”

Jiang Yishi said, “If Fu was still alive and still had to bring the dowry back to the Fu family to enjoy it, I really would have found an excuse to withhold all the money she earned in the Meng family. But now, why bother to bully.”

Although she hated Meng Yu Yu very much and disliked Meng Hua, she knew that their lives would not be good in the future. She wouldn’t help them, and possibly do a little bad to Meng Rui Yu, but she definitely wouldn’t get her hands dirty on their money.

Meng Er Grandma laughed again, “Grandmother saw those dowries this morning and said that sister-in-law is atmospheric and has a positive heart ……”

She didn’t have the heart to say the old lady’s last sentence, “Not like a child of a minor official’s family.”

She did not say, Jiang Yishi also guessed.

Jiang Yishi so really is not atmosphere, but she has tasted in extreme disappointment and weakness, someone to hit her money ideas ……

If she was like that, wouldn’t she be the same as Zhou before her. Fu’s made people hate her, and Zhou’s made people despise her.

Meng second grandmother added, “through this blow, three aunts like a changed person, changed than before understand, see the situation clearly. Third uncle is also like a changed person, becoming …… unrecognizable. Grandmother cried when she talked about the third uncle, said white blind so good child.”

Jiang Yishi said, “A blow can make a person strong and powerful, but it can also destroy a person’s will and never recover …… from it.”

Second Grandma Meng laughed, “Dabo has become strong and powerful after enduring many blows. Grandfather and father-in-law have taught my family’s second master more than once, telling him to learn from his eldest uncle.”

Jiang Yishi looked at the stars in the sky and let out a long sigh. What Meng Zhimo had suffered was more than a blow, it was nirvana, the pain of being reborn in nirvana, only she knew that.

Meng Hua sank his face and returned to Liudan courtyard, sitting cross-legged on the beauty couch to take that account book out and look at it.

Her nursemaid, Sister Li, quietly asked, “Miss, I heard that the old lady asked you about your marriage today?”

Meng Hua put down the account book and glared at Zhi Paint, the maid who had passed on the small talk. Now that her mother had been ousted, even the subordinates had begun to neglect themselves, and actually dared to openly pass on what the master had said.

Zhi Hua’s father was a stable steward, and had a certain amount of decency among the underlings. The dead girl didn’t want to stay in Liudan Yuan, and was even more afraid of following herself out of this prosperous place in the capital in the future, and began to deliberately beg for suspicion.

Such a person, she also did not want to stay, tomorrow will find an excuse to send away.

If it were the past, Meng Hua would have let the Sister slap her in the mouth first, and then whisked her away after she was out of breath. But now, it was better to do more than less.

Meng Hua knew that Sister Li and Zhi Qing were loyal to her, and had to let them know what she really thought.

She sent the irrelevant people away, leaving only Sister Li and Zhi Qing behind.

She said, “Today grandmother asked me what kind of marriage I want to find …… those ideas before, young talent, high family, such as jade male …… huh,” her mouth laughed, her eyes has welled up with tears, “I have put aside. In the capital, not to mention the good family good talent, even have the ambition of the small official family will not be willing to want me.”

Zhi Qing shed tears and said, “The girl’s grandfather is the Grand Master and her father is the Duke of State, so when the wind dies down in a few years, she’ll be fine.”

Meng Hua shook her head, sniffled and said, “My grandparents are old, I don’t know if they’ll still be around in a few years. My father, the first first wife hasn’t wronged him yet, look at the life my big brother and big sister lived before. My father hates my mother so much, how can he care about me and third brother.

“Big brother and sister-in-law don’t straighten us out we should pray to Buddha, won’t go out of their way to help each other, and the second uncle’s family who is separated from the house can’t be relied on. The other day, I was hoping to be able to rely on the third brother, we rely on each other to fight through these hardships, but he is even more useless than me ……

“I can only rely on my grandparents and myself as well. I want to marry out of town, hide my identity, and say to the outside world that I’m a clan member of the Duke of Cheng’s House, and with the half of the dowry my mother left behind I’ll be able to make a good living as well.”

Sister Li said, “Otherwise, the girl should marry in the Central South Province, where Great Uncle is an envoy of security and can watch over you.”

Meng Hua sneered, “My great uncle? When I think about how they listened to Zhao Hu and let my mother marry into the Meng family, encouraging my mother to help the Zhao family while being a Meng woman, their hearts are not good, they can’t be relied on. I’ve already told my grandmother that it’s best to marry in the Yongcheng area.

“The general-in-chief there is Zheng Ji, and many of the generals were trained by Grandfather himself; it’s much safer. The Zhao family and King Ying’s party hates my mother and hates to screw us over, so I don’t feel comfortable going anywhere else. If I get a foothold there, I will take my third brother over …… Grandmother agreed.

“Today I also about to hear grandmother and second aunt said, if the Cui family find a way to let the Empress Dowager withdraw the order, our family will be painful to agree. Alas, my third brother, not to mention marrying Miss Cui, winning the scholar and flower scouting to run the future, can live a life in peace would be good.”

After saying this, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and sobbed.

Sister Li put Meng Hua into her arms and said in tears, “What the girl said is true, marrying to a place where no one knows, and not listening to those dirty words, the girl can still live a happier life. Alas, before I thought that Jiang’s is the daughter of a small official, certainly small eye holes, shallow eyes. I didn’t realize that she didn’t move a little bit on the dowry. On the contrary, the Duke of State, before so loving the girl, now …… alas, the first lady offended him, but the girl and the third master is still his own flesh and blood ah.”

Meng Hua cried painfully, wiped tears and said, “You two clean up the yard, those monkeys who want to leave, let them out, no need to be difficult. Those who stay, don’t be nosy and talkative, and stay honestly in the courtyard.”
