Chapter 43 Suspicion

Although Meng Zhimo didn’t know what was wrong with the Huang family, she intuited that the First Lady wouldn’t find a good marriage for her sister. Even if she had a grudge against her sister, she still flagged her opposition.

At that time, Elder Duke Meng was in the south to quell the rebellion, Meng Ruimo had approached his grandmother and father, and had also bitterly advised Meng Yue. But they all felt that Fu was so heartbroken over Meng Yue that she wouldn’t harm her, and that the family she found must be good, believing that Meng Ruimo had too much heart and was not kind to her stepmother.

Because Meng Ruimo did not agree with Meng Yue’s marriage and said that the marriage that the First Lady had found for her sister was not good, his father, Meng Daoming, who was still the son of the Duke of Chengguo at that time, was very angry and said that Meng Ruimo’s heart was very bad at such a young age, and that the First Lady, who was so kind to her siblings, had stirred up the relationship between her stepmother and her family, and beat him up severely.

Meng Yue is also not happy with Meng Zhimo, afraid that he will break the heart of the First Lady, if the future in-laws know that it is even worse for themselves.

Not long after Meng Yue got married, Meng Zhimo followed the old Duke to the battlefield and had no time to care for her. When Meng Ruimo returned to the capital, I heard that Meng Yue was having a bad time in her mother-in-law’s home, but his eyes were badly damaged, and he wanted to help his sister, who was already beyond his capabilities…….

Jiang Yishi looked at him and asked knowingly, “Sister Meng’s in-laws are not treating her well?”

Meng Zhimo nodded and said, “The Huang family emphasizes rules and regulations, and the nature of Princess Pinghe is even more powerful and paranoid. My sister married into the Huang family and has barely had a few good days, and now she has three sons and daughters. Last month, she was two months pregnant and had to go in front of her mother-in-law every day to set the rules, and was angry by those two little women, fell pregnant. Not only did no one cherish her, but also made up that she was petulant and had a small belly …… really hateful.”

Jiang Yishi said, “The power of the Cheng Guo Gongfu is not lower than the Huang family, they dare to bully the Meng family girl so much, you have not gone to ask for a statement?”

Meng Zhimo sighed, “Why not. My grandmother and father intervened many times, and my grandfather even went to fight Huang Cheng. But that County Princess Pinghe never changed, biting back at my sister’s faults. The First Lady also stepped in, not only did my sister’s situation not improve, but it also became more difficult.

“Alas, today grandfather and I advised my sister to separate from Huang Cheng, she continues to stay in the Huang family, only a dead end. But my sister is not willing, afraid that Xin’er will stay in the Huang family and suffer …… My sister is simple, and now she is still helping the big madam to speak. Thinks that it is me who is prejudiced against the first lady, this marriage is not good, it is her bad fate, not to blame anyone ……”

Meng Zhimo was very depressed, he had wanted to use the big madam to find Meng Yue a bad marriage to prove that big madam Meng was not merciful and to draw attention from his grandfather, but Meng Yue was still helping the Fu Clan to speak.

Jiang Yishi of course knew that Meng Yue was simple. In the words of Li Zhenbao, she was sold but still helped count the silver.

Jiang Yishi also knows that at the beginning of October this year, Meng Yue was smashed in the forehead by her mother-in-law with a tea bowl. The old Duke was so angry that he beat up Huang Cheng and his Squire father again, threatening to take Meng Yue home. The old man was also unable to do so, and wanted to use this method to force Huang Cheng to merge with Meng Yue, even if it meant repudiation.

He made a scene in front of Huang’s house for half a day, but Meng Yue not only didn’t go home with him, but also kneeled down and begged him to stop, for the sake of her daughter, she wouldn’t leave.

As Meng Yue’s mother, Mrs. Meng also went to the Huang family to ask for justice from the Pinghe County, but also failed to bring Meng Yue home.

Meng Yue then had that big incident.

Jiang Yishi remembers that Meng Yue had an accident at the temple at the end of October, and hanged herself after returning to the house. She couldn’t quite remember the exact day.

Now that she thought about it, although Ping He County Lord was powerful and paranoid, but she was not crazy, why would she be so dissatisfied with Meng Yue? It should be the handiwork of the eldest Mrs. Meng.

Moreover, how could Meng Yue, who was so honest and disliked socializing with others, steal from others, or in a temple. It must be that County Lord Pinghe instructed her subordinates to set Meng Yue up.

After that incident, I heard that Meng Ruimo had been sick for a long time. Seeing Meng Ruimo like this today, not only is he sad about his sister’s passing, but he should also have guessed that Meng Yue was framed and blamed himself for not protecting her right ……?

Jiang Yishi’s impression of Meng Yue wasn’t good before, but when she saw Meng Yue’s gentle and quiet side today, and Meng Rumo was so worried about her, she still wanted to stop that from happening. If you help Meng Yue, you are also helping Meng Zhimo.

It is now the beginning of June, and there are still more than four months to go before that incident occurs.

If Meng Yue could listen to the advice and leave, of course it would be better.

Jiang Yishi added, “I heard Second Grandma Meng say that First Lady Meng is proposing a marriage for me, and it seems like she already has an idea.”

Meng Zhimo was so angry that she clenched her fists, “Big Madam is not proper. She hates me, and she hates your father for saving me. She won’t genuinely help you, so Miss Jiang mustn’t agree.”

No matter who helped Miss Jiang to talk about marriage, he didn’t want Miss Jiang to agree.

Jiang Yishi said, “Of course I won’t say yes, I can also see that Big Mrs. Meng’s heart is not right. However, my grandmother and eldest uncle want to get on the good side of Duke Cheng and Grand Madam Meng every day, and they will definitely agree to the marriage that Grand Madam Meng said.”

Meng Zhimo said, “I’ll talk to my grandfather and ask his old man to bring a message to my grandmother, so that my grandmother can stop the Great Lady …….”

Again, he felt that he should find a good excuse. If Great Lady Meng knew that Miss Jiang was on such good terms with her grandfather and herself, she would more than likely find a way to harm her.

As he was talking, Elder Duke Meng walked out.

“Let’s go, back to the manor.”

The old man had a hard time hearing about his eldest granddaughter in her in-laws’ home. He was a bit skeptical, would such a virtuous and well-mannered eldest daughter-in-law really have a bad heart? Did the eldest daughter-in-law look away from the Huang family, or did the stepmother deliberately fix her stepdaughter?

Think deeper, there is the one in the palace …… he three orders, not allowed the family to stand in line. Previously, he was most worried about the eldest grandson, could it be that Fu’s and the eldest son dared to act in a positive way?

He instinctively thought that the eldest son would not dare to disobey him. Although the eldest son is a bit reckless and afraid of his daughter-in-law, he still has a clear understanding of right and wrong.

He walked with his hands behind his back and led his two followers, while Meng Zhimo got into the mule cart.

Looking at their backs, Jiang Yishi was also anxious. It’s been almost two months and Meng Zhimo’s eyes haven’t improved a bit. If it can’t be cured, what should be done.

Jiang Yishi sighed softly and walked towards the upper room.

When passing Jojo, Jojo fluttered her wings and called out, “Miss Jiang, the flowers ……”

Shui Ling in the courtyard was greatly happy, “Jojo is so smart, she didn’t come to the house for a long time, she actually knows that the girl is Miss Jiang.”

Jiang Yishi stood again to go in front of Jojo and took a few dried fruits from Shui Ling’s hand to feed it.

Jojo ate while staring at Jiang Yishi with his little soybean eyes, his little sharp mouth got free and screamed, “Flower, flower, there is a good person in the north ……”

Jiang Yishi laughed out softly. Can teach such a colorful parrot, its former owner where square and serious? Definitely an old misanthrope. Maybe it’s the same as Mrs. Meng, she can pretend, one thing in front of people, one thing after people. Because he was afraid that Jojo would cover his tracks, he had no choice but to send Jojo out.
