Chapter 265 – Attitude
Jin Ning suppressed her anger again and laughed, “That’s not true, ever since I heard about Fu’s ways, I was also distressed by the sins Yue’er had suffered before.”
Jiang Yishi did not want to continue listening, pulled Meng Yue up and laughed, “It’s our first time in the Ping Wang Mansion, we want to go outside and take a look.”
Princess Ping laughed, “Go.”
The two just walked to the door, Jinning asked again, “Has Xin’er come yet? That’s my full-blooded granddaughter, I miss her.”
Meng Yue’s footsteps paused, and she was pulled away again by Jiang Yishi.
Princess Ping said, “Xin’er also came, and went on a boat ride with the children. When she comes back, let her kowtow to you ……”
The voice was flung behind.
Out of the main courtyard, Meng Yue asked in fear, “Will the Huang family snatch Xin’er back? No, no matter what, it won’t be returned.”
Jiang Yishi said, “Xin’er has already been given to you, it is yours, it is clearly written in the separation book and recognized by the law. As long as big sister doesn’t go back, Xin’er won’t go back.”
Meng Yue reddened, “Of course I can’t go back, that home I don’t even want to think about now, it’s colder than an ice hole.”
Jiang Yishi was very satisfied with her attitude. She believed that Meng Yue was not willing to go back, but she was afraid that if Meng Yue’s heart was soft, that family would cajole her in the name of the child, or find a chance to set up some kind of a trap to force Meng Yue to give in.
Jiang Yishi reminded, ”It looks like that family is starting to hit big sister again when they see that Concubine De is in favor. In the future, big sister must pay attention to safety when she goes out, don’t get into a trap.”
The maids following them were four Meng family maids, and the one leading the way was a maid next to Princess Ping.
They walked slowly along the flower path, there was a pavilion a section away from the lake, they went into the pavilion and sat down.
There was a boat in the lake, and on the boat there was a group of children laughing and joking, even little CunCun was carried up by mother Huang to play.
A few people were talking when they heard voices in a grove not far away. There were cursing sounds and “ouch” sounds.
The sound of cursing was familiar to Jiang Yishi, it was Meng Zhimo’s. The sound of “ouch” was very familiar to Jiang Yishi.
The “ouch” sound was also familiar to Meng Yue, even though she hadn’t heard this sound for two years, she could tell that it was Huang Cheng’s. Jiang Yishi and Meng Yue looked at each other.
Jiang Yishi and Meng Yue exchanged a glance and both hurried towards the small forest.
In the woods, Meng Zhimo was beating Huang Cheng. Huang Cheng was powerless and unbeatable, and had already been knocked to the ground.
Meng Ruimo was furious when he saw that Huang Cheng had come to the Ping Wang Mansion. But King Ping was moving today, so it was not good for him to cause trouble in the royal family’s house.
King Ping was also not happy that the Huang family came uninvited, and when he saw Huang Cheng talking to Meng Ruimo in a low voice, he guessed the Huang family’s intentions.
Later, when Huang Cheng left and Meng Rumo followed him out, King Ping pretended not to see him. As long as Meng Ruimo didn’t teach Huang Cheng a lesson in front of him and the other guests, he could teach him whatever he wanted.
Meng Ruimo follows Huang Cheng to the lake and realizes that he is actually stealing glances at Meng Yue. Thinking that if Shishi wasn’t there, he would have gone out to have a chance encounter with Meng Yue, he became even more angry and walked up to beat up Huang Cheng.
He was beaten up for spying on the ladies, so it was a waste of time to beat him up.
Meng Ruimo saw Jiang Yishi and Meng Yue came, only stopped, wiped his hand with a handkerchief and said, “This denizen has a lot of guts, actually dared to hide in the woods to see the Meng family women.” He also stomped Huang Cheng and said, “If you dare to do so again, I will kill you directly.”
Huang Cheng looked up and saw Meng Yue, enduring the pain to climb up. His nose and face were swollen from the beating, and his hair was disheveled as he rushed at Meng Yue and said, “Yue’er, I know I’m wrong, and my mother regrets it as well. For Xin’er’s sake, you forgive me, let’s live a good life ……”
He wanted to coax Meng Yue back, not all because of the elders. Two years had passed, and he realized that he couldn’t find a more beautiful and gentle woman than Meng Yue ……
Meng Zhimo didn’t hit Huang Cheng or interrupt him, he wanted to see Cheng Yue’s attitude.
Meng Yue trembled her lips and tears flowed down her face, she held her tongue for a long time and finally stifled a word, “Bah!”
Then, twisting her body, she ran away.
Jiang Yishi and Meng Zhimo were both very satisfied with Cheng Yue’s performance. Although weak, she still knew not to eat back the grass.
Jiang Yishi quickly caught up with Meng Yue and advised, “Why are you still upset about him when you’re all dead hearted. This is just the beginning, in the future, no matter what moves their family makes, big sister is like this ……”
They did not go back. Jinning was a royal relative and an elder, so they were not good at being tough, nor were they good at making things difficult for Princess Ning. If she knew that Huang Cheng had been beaten, it was even more unknown what she would say.
The painted boat docked and the children disembarked and came to the pavilion. Li Dang, Li Jing, Li Jiao, Huang Xin and the other two five and six year old little county lords, Li Guo and Li Yuan, Li Qing and little Cun Cun were carried by their nursemaids.
Li Guo laughed, “I heard Sister Jiao Jiao say that Aunt Meng’s Flora can do somersaults, hold a handkerchief, open a cupboard, and Jojo can say a lot of things, so we want to see.”
Huang Xin had an expression of I’m not showing off, it wasn’t me who said that, the other few children had an envious face, an expression of I want to see it so badly, only Li Dang looked like a little adult, seemingly uninterested in cats and birds.
Jiang Yishi laughed, “You are welcome to play in my house, my flower does have some skills, Jojo can say new words again ……”
Li Jiao was the same age as Huang Xin, seven years old this year, the oldest of the children. She had grown taller again, and had changed a lot from her previous petite and sticky appearance. Together with Li Dang, she led the group of children to play.
King Wen still only had this one daughter, but Li Jiao was born to a concubine, who had already died and was kept in the care of Princess Wen. Not being the biological mother, even an only daughter could not be too capricious.
The people spoke for a while, and except for Huang Xin and Cun Cun, all the other children returned to the main courtyard.
It wasn’t until noon that the people from the flower hall came to invite them, and only then did Jiang Yishi and Cheng Yue bring their children over.
Jinning’s heart was still drumming, she let the maid go to the outer courtyard to report, I don’t know if her son had met with Meng Yue.
When she saw Huang Xin who came with her, her eyes lit up for a moment.
Huang Cheng also has two commoner sons and a commoner daughter, Jinning had to admit, this once the first eldest granddaughter looks the best, even at a young age can be seen calm, demeanor, than her useless mother much stronger.
Huang Xin was afraid of this grandmother and still had hatred in her heart, but she also had to go and kowtow to her.
She went over and knelt down and kowtowed, “Xin’er has met her grandmother.”
Jin Ning laughed, “Get up. Come over quickly and let grandmother take a good look.”
Huang Xin got up and stiffly went over, standing down half a step away from Jinning.
Seeing her eyes filled with wariness and detachment, Jinning’s face sank again. What a life and what a seed, this wooden look was just like her mother.
Hearing Third Miss Huang’s clearing cough, Jin Ning again suppressed the disgust in her heart, pulling at the corners of her mouth and smiling, “Grandmother and grandfather, as well as your father, all miss you so much, there’s nothing to go back and see us.”
Behind her maid held up a brocade box.
Elders can’t resign, let alone in front of so many people. Meng Yue and Jiang Yishi didn’t make a statement, Wang Pingfei gave a wink to her maid, who stepped forward to receive it.
