Chapter 416: Still Want to Marry Back

At the end of October, the Meng family Wang steward hurried back to the capital to report to the old Duke of the country, the great aunt actually hid from the subordinates quietly out of the back door of the manor to meet with Huang Cheng.

Less than a mile from the manor of the river stopped a small boat with a canopy, the place where the two met is in the boat.

It was just when Wang’s daughter-in-law came back from the town to buy things, and saw from afar that the woman looked like a great aunt, and the man looked like Huang Cheng, the former great aunt.

Wang Daniang ran back to the manor to see Meng Yue, the maid said that the great aunt was not well and was resting. Wang Daniang forced her way into the bedroom, only to find that there was no one on the bed, and the quilt was a pillow.

The old Duke of State was furious and slammed the table, “How many times have you seen this?”

Steward Wang’s waist bowed even lower, “Old slave should be damned, old slave didn’t know.”

This is Meng Yue’s scandal, the old Duke of the country angry to vomit blood also embarrassed to tell others, only quietly with the Yamen back Meng Ruimo said.

Meng Ruimo also angry enough, the next day personally went to the Meng family home, interrogated the servants. Meng Yue side of a few subordinates are not wrong, is a cooking woman in the manor was bribed to send a letter to Meng Yue.

Meng Ruimo had the woman beaten with 50 lashes. The woman was sold alive, but she died and was taken down.

Including this time, Meng Yue and Huang Cheng met three times.

Meng Yue said that the two only spoke for half an hour, Meng Ruimo do not believe. As far as Huang Cheng’s character was concerned, it was not easy to meet Meng Yue, so how could he not do anything?

Meng Ruimo sunk his face and said, “Grandfather asked you to return to the residence to live.”

Meng Yue’s wooden eyes immediately became resolute, shaking her head, “I’m not going back. I have a bad reputation, going back invites jokes.”

Meng Zhimo took a look at Meng Yue, although she was nearly thirty years old, she was still as beautiful and delicate as ever, and she was still not letting people worry about her.

He said, “Big sister think about it, you yourself think you have a bad reputation, how can Huang Cheng still provoke you again and again?”

Meng Yue blushed, lowered her eyes and said, “He said that he has always been happy with me. The reason he treated me like that before was because his mother disliked me. His mother has been dead for more than a year, so he asked me to wait for him for another year and a half, and when he’s fulfilled his mourning period and that matter of mine has gradually subsided, he’ll marry me home again.”

“Hutu!” Meng Zhimo said angrily, “If Huang Cheng really pleases you, how could he let County Princess Jinning screw you to death? Not only did he not help, but he kept taking concubines, and the concubine sons and daughters had a large group of concubines. He hit his idea on you again, not because he is happy with you, but because the Huang family was previously a member of the Ying Wang party, and has been disliked by the saint, and we, the Meng family, have been valued by the saint …….”

The Huang family’s most most valued is that Consort Qu De has the Emperor’s favor, and King Ping has the most hope of becoming the Crown Prince.

This could not be said plainly to Meng Yue.

Tears welled up in Meng Yue’s eyes. How could she not know that Huang Cheng’s feelings for her were just that, but her best way out now was to return to the Huang family.

She had a strong maternal family, her favorite concubine in the palace was her first aunt, and Jinning was dead. Huang Cheng also promised that those few vixens she did not see eye to eye to send to the manor ……

She went back, no one dare to provoke her.

Huang Cheng has talent, the Huang family has the heritage, and then have the help of the mother’s family, the future Huang Cheng official to the Squire are possible.

The family that her grandfather and brother had found for her was either a humble man with no roots or a vulgar martial artist. Compared to such people, she would rather choose Huang Cheng, who was talented and had a good family.

Meng Yue wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, “Brother, if you really want to do this for your sister’s sake, then let her have her way. In this world, how many men are as devoted to their wives as you are? Look at our father, you control so tight, or not to go out to steal …….”

The word “fishy” didn’t have the heart to say it.

Meng Zhimo was furious, no longer want to reason with Meng Yue, it does not make sense. He shook his head and said, “Grandfather and I had a hard time pulling you out of the quagmire, so we won’t throw you back in, you’re done with that idea.”

He ordered the maids to pack up their things and forcefully put the weeping Meng Yue on the carriage.

Honest people do great things. Meng Zhimo was afraid that Meng Yue would cause even more trouble, so he could only rest assured by putting her under his watchful eye.

In the evening, Meng Yue’s sedan chair went directly to the inner courtyard, and Meng Ruimo went to the outer study to talk to the old Duke about this.

The old Duke of China gasped, “I’m just going to beat her to death, but I won’t let her go to the Huang family again. Alas, rivers and mountains are easy to change, but nature can’t be changed, no matter how you teach it, you can’t teach it well.”

Meng Yue’s matter is still known to the old lady and Jiang Yishi.

The old lady was also angry at Meng Yue for not competing and felt that she was even more careless than her eldest son.

The old lady cited Meng Yue’s poor health as the reason for her being grounded for a year.

Although the rest of the family did not know specifically, they also guessed a general idea. In the past few years, especially after Jinning’s death, the Huang family kept showing goodwill to the Meng family house, and the Meng family didn’t even bother with them.

Huang Xin came to the Floating Life Residence after talking to Meng Yue for more than two moments.

She didn’t say what she said to her mother, but just hugged Jiang Yishi and sobbed softly.

Jiang Yishi stroked her head and said softly, “Your mother’s affairs will be taken care of by the elders, so don’t think too much. You’re still young, just be happy with your life. ……”

Huang Xin choked out a “hmm”.

She could not say that her mother was wrong, nor could she say that her father was wrong. But she knew that she and her mother could not go back to that home.

Half a month later, Sister Lin secretly came to Jiang Yishi.

Her eyes were red from crying.

Seeing that she had something to say, Sister Wu retreated with her maid.

Sister Lin knelt down and said, “Great Grandmother, save my great aunt.”

Jiang Yishi asked, “What has big sister done again?”

Meng Yue was locked up in the courtyard every day, so she could still break into trouble?

Sister Lin trembled her lips and quietly said, “Great Aunt’s monthly letter has been delayed for half a month, accompanied by vomiting and drowsiness, I’m afraid I’m pregnant.”

Meng Yue was also frightened.

If word of her pregnancy got out, not only would she be finished, but Huang Cheng, who had impregnated someone during her filial piety, would also be finished.

Meng Yue knew that only Meng Zhimo and Jiang Yishi could help her in this matter.

Jiang Yishi was also startled. “You go back and keep an eye on Grand Auntie, I will discuss this matter with Grand Master.”

She didn’t dare to tell the old master for fear of making him angry.

After dinner, she returned to the Floating Life Residence with Meng Zhimo, before she spoke to Meng Zhimo about this matter.

Meng Ruimo was infuriated, but he couldn’t ignore that eldest sister.

He said, ”We need to confirm if she’s really pregnant. You go take her pulse.”

The two went to Meng Yue’s courtyard together.

Meng Yue was grounded, she couldn’t come out and ordinary people couldn’t go in. But as Meng Yue’s closest relatives, Huang Xin and Meng Zhimo’s couple were still able to visit her.

The courtyard was deathly quiet.

Walking into the upper room, Sister Lin greeted her and said, “Great Auntie hasn’t eaten for a day.”

Meng Zhimo nodded and sat on the circle chair in the hall room.

Jiang Yishi followed Sister Lin through the side room and into the bedroom.

Candlelight was like beans, the room was dimly lit, and the green-colored netting covered the bed tightly.

Sister Lin said to the net, “Great Auntie, Great Grandma is here to see you. Grand Master is also here, in the hall room.”
