Miss Hu married, with her scheming and viciousness, and would not let the Hong family have a good life. Miss Hu San married, no matter what compensation the eldest house gave to the third house, it would not make up for the resentment caused by the destruction of a daughter. She didn't know what Mr. Hu San was like, but Mrs. Hu San was able to tell her daughter about such a affordable marriage to the Dong family, which showed that she was a person who really loved her daughter. She could tolerate her daughter and was destroyed, but the culprit had nothing to do. And she jumped around in front of her eyes every day, praised by people who were unknown and looked for a husband with both talent and beauty. If she could tolerate her, she would become a saint. Wasn't it like this kind of struggle between the ladies of the Yuanping Bo Mansion that year, and for a marriage, she caused a sect and acquaintance, and the brothers had a gap, and in the end no one got any benefits.

This is still a noble family. For the sake of title, brothers have some knots and go on their own careers. They have little relationship with each other, but the civil servants are different. I believe there are nobles who can be kept by their ancestors. Civil servants pay more attention to family inheritance and brothers. Once there is a rift, these civil servants are easily attacked.

Of course, if the Hu family is really in trouble, they will have no time to plot against the Meng family. However, just in case, we should be careful about Miss Hu's movements.

As for Lian Yufeng's thoughts, she didn't expect that she had learned some information about the Hu family from Mrs. Meng in the past few days, and then guessed something, "The Hu family, a family of officials and scholars, naturally have the pride of ordinary literati. This is also the core of the family's inheritance. They do not like to form cliques for personal gain, so they can be persevered even after several storms and will not be easily bribed."

It is very difficult to make them loyal by holding a handle on the Hu family. Even if they compromise for a while, they will easily feel resentful. When they can't bear it, they will bite it back when they can't bear it. And they will easily be bribed by others and have no loyalty. It is not worth worrying about. Is it completely suppressed? It's too much of a stir and it will easily attract criticism.

So now what Lian Yufeng did was just a few tricks next to a small flame without any trace. If the Hu family was smart enough or could really be as honest as they always advocated, they would naturally be able to extinguish the small flame. If they wanted to hide it, then the fire would only burn more and more vigorously.

This is what is called the destruction of a thousand-mile dike in an ant hole, and an unworthy descendant can destroy a century-old family.

Even Yufeng destroyed his opponent, even if one day he did, of course, no one could blame him for what he did. He would only say that he was kind and righteous and took the overall situation into consideration. It was the Hu family itself who raised such a vicious daughter, but the head of the family was confused. His daughter did something wrong but made her niece take the blame.

"By the way, mother. Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Quan, you can find out such a detailed thing." Su Yiqing said as she took out a piece of paper from the dressing box beside her and handed it to Mrs. Meng, "Mother will give this to Mrs. Quan, and with this, she can take out some of the goods seized in their room."

Mrs. Meng nodded, took the paper, and didn't ask where it came from. Then she went out to meet Mrs. Quan Si.

When Mrs. Quan Si heard this, she packed the paper with a treasure. Then she felt a little embarrassed: "Second sister, can only bring up the goods from our room?"

Mrs. Meng said lightly: "Sister! You should know that it is not easy to get a part of it."

"But... the third uncle." Mrs. Quan Si also knew that the information she had inquired could not be exchanged for such a favor, but if the tribe members knew that their goods could be brought back, and others could not let them go. Instead of becoming a crossing rat in the tribe, it would be better not to take them."

Mrs. Meng hesitated and said, "I'll ask our master again to see if he has any other ways. You can take out the goods from your room secretly. Later, I will ask our master who can speak about this matter and then tell you. As for how to tell the clan in the future, my sister will do it herself, and it will definitely cost a lot of money."

Mrs. Quan Si understood and asked again afterwards: "Do you still want to continue to inquire about the Hu family?"

Mrs. Meng seemed a little surprised and said, "What does the Hu family have to do with our family? But my sister often comes to sit when she has time, and it's good to talk to me, my sister."

Mrs. Quan Si understood it at one point, and everything was indifferent.

A few days later, the news that Mrs. Quan Si's room could receive goods reached the ears of the rest of the people. Master Quan San led a group of people to attack the crime with great might.

No one of the four masters of Quan saw this scene, and he was so scared that his legs were weak on the spot.

On the contrary, Mrs. Quan Si said calmly in the face of everyone's questioning: "A few uncles and niece-in-laws are trying to tell them that their niece-in-law has found a way to get the goods out. In order to prevent fraud, the niece-in-law also took out his own part first."

Hearing this, Master Quan San and others, who had originally wanted to seek a riot, were immediately overjoyed, changed their flattering face, and repeatedly said, "The niece-in-law is really capable. She will find the way so soon. Whose way will she take?"

Mrs. Quan Si said: "It's a lieutenant He. Although this lieutenant has a small position, it's better to be in charge of the county rank. He is the person in charge of the guardian's goods. As long as he agrees to release the goods, everything is easy to say. But... this person who asks people for money will eventually cost money. Last time, several uncles also said that they should spend as much as they should."

"That's what it should be." Master Quan San and others looked at each other and asked tentatively, "I wonder how much my niece-in-law spent?"

Mrs. Quan Si said a number, and as soon as she said it, Mr. Quan San took a breath. This was too much. Mrs. Quan Si sighed: "I am a wife, my husband has no official position, and I have no friendship with him. I can't even get in his house. I will not hide it from my uncles and uncles. I went to find an outdoor room he kept outside, and I finally persuaded the release notes I got. However, if several uncles and uncles have a way, I went to find Captain He personally, or could spend less or find someone else. My niece-in-law is incompetent, so I can only do this."

After the last incident, Mrs. Quan Si didn't dare to get involved in these things anymore, at least she didn't dare to get involved in the Quan family anymore. To be honest, she was not so cruel with her outsiders. At most, she lost money. It was no big deal. Do you do business? You have made money and lost money. You won't force her to try her best to plead with her after the compensation. Now she has pointed out the way to them. Whether they can find it or not.

This silver is indeed ruthless, almost 80% of the goods, which is equivalent to giving 8,000 taels of silver and getting back 10,000 taels of goods, but it is better than losing all the money. If you don't give it, all the goods worth 10,000 taels will be gone. If you give it, you can get at least a little. These goods can still be sold at a high price after being shipped back. Although it should not be able to make up for the losses, it is better than losing all the money.

Everyone's losses were relatively small, but apart from these, Master Quan San also gave away the beauty before, the loss was really great.

Mrs. Quan Si felt that fortunately, the members of the Quan family did not completely believe in Master Quan San at the beginning. They agreed to do business together, but did not directly give the money to Master Quan San. Instead, they sent their loyal servants to take it. They gathered the money until they were sure to see the goods. After that, they all divided the goods and escorted them. They just passed the test together, otherwise they would be really a grasshopper on a rope.

The rest were fine. After everyone discussed, they found the Captain He to discuss whether it could be less. However, the Captain He didn't want to make any money, and said that he should not lose a penny, and he wanted to let him not want it. All the goods were confiscated, and everyone had no choice but to grit their teeth and pay for the money.

Just Mrs. Meng's father, Mr. Quan Er, couldn't afford so much money in his room, so he had to go to the Meng family to ask for his own daughter.

Mrs. Meng and Mr. Quan Er have not really talked for many years. When they were inseparable, their father and daughter just said hello in a false way. Both of them could see the hatred in each other's eyes. Now Mr. Quan Er is gray, and Mrs. Meng still has resentment in her heart. She is living such a miserable life. Outsiders seem to have both children, but only she herself knows the hardships.

If you hate him, your biological father asked for a visit. You can't give me any face, otherwise you will have a bad reputation if you spread it.

It is different from the note given to Mrs. Quan. This time the note was written by Prince Ding's confidants. The officers and soldiers who were pressing on the goods were sent out in fear and apologized repeatedly. As a result, they actually had a few more bundles than those who were seized before by Mr. Quan. It seems that the officers and soldiers were afraid of offending others, so they added more. Anyway, there were a lot of goods that were suppressed, so it didn't matter if they gave them less.

Since turning against his daughter, his family property has gradually shrunk due to his poor management. Mr. Quan, who has been deteriorating in the clan, finally became proud, so he couldn't help but spread the matter everywhere in the clan.

The tribe members who had suffered a lot of blood were envious and jealous, and they beat their chests and stamped their feet and regretted it. If they had known, they would have followed Mr. Quan Er to the Meng family together to ask for it. As a result, they followed Mr. Quan San to mess around for a long time, and not only spent unjustly money, but also offended the Meng family. It was really not worth the loss.

At this time, Mrs. Quan Si played the role of the fourth wife. She kept saying that she had already said it, and asked Mr. Quan Er to say it. However, Mr. Quan San refused and didn't believe that Mr. Quan Er could convince the Meng family. He even thought that the Meng family had no choice but to make a beauty to disgust him. Think about who Prince Ding? What kind of beauty has never seen? Can she be easily confused? With Prince Ding's status, if she really wants to get married, she really has a way to make a family, and she would have to be wronged? This is the main concubine, not the concubine, and not the messy singers. She doesn't like to say no to her when she gets married.

Although Miss Meng'er was a concubine, she taught her a good daughter, Madam Meng. She had seen a real grand and dignified lady who was a lady from a family that day. How could those charming girls be compared to?

Facts are better than words, and lies can be true even if they are told a thousand times. What's more, Mrs. Quan is not a random word at all. On that day, many ladies had seen Meng Xiaofu in the birthday party of Hu's mansion. It might be a bit exaggerated to say that they are unparalleled in appearance, but they really can't find any mistakes in their behavior.

After Mrs. Quan Si’s hard publicity, those who were not optimistic about this marriage could not help but think about it again.

Mrs. Meng gradually guessed the intention of this daughter. Meng Xiaofu did not value the mouth of Mrs. Quan. It was just that the Quan family was her parents' home after all. Meng Xiaofu's nominal foreign family was not easy to offend them, but she could not easily give them a shot. It was equivalent to giving a date so that the Quan family would not be angry and would be angry and talk nonsense outside and ruin their reputation.

This is more effective than threatening and pleading. If you think deeper, it may not be an accident that the Quan family's goods were detained, and it is hard for others to imagine the scheming of those superiors.

On this day, Mrs. Meng came to Su Yiqing with another post and said, "Fu'er, this is a post from General Lin's mansion. Old Master Lin invites our whole family to go to the birthday party. Mrs. Lin specially sent the mansion to deliver the post in person. What she said was that she wanted to invite you specifically. Do you think you will go?"

Su Yiqing said lightly: "Mother, I will be out of the house on the eighth day of next month, and there is only more than a month left. In theory, shouldn't you go out, or not."

Mrs. Meng actually thought so, don’t have to happen again when something happens. She thought about it and said, “General Lin has a friendship with your father, so we must give face. In this way, I will let you Sister Yan stay with you.”

"No, Sister Yan must attend." Su Yiqing looked at Mrs. Meng, "It is hard to guarantee that anyone would not speak any of the matters in Hu's house last time. If Sister Yan didn't go, others would have many speculations. Instead of doing this, go openly and appear in front of everyone, and the rumors would be self-defeating."

"But if your sister Yan goes, what if..." Mrs. Meng was really scared.

"Let Lu Teng accompany Sister Yan, and let Sister Yan not let Green Teng leave at any time. The mother will find another maid for Sister Yan. It doesn't need to be too clever but obedient. Be more powerful, it's better to have some martial arts skills." Su Yiqing observed Meng Yan. After the last incident, she seemed to have awakened a lot. No one can take care of anyone forever for the rest of her life. She must stand up to protect herself.

Mrs. Meng thought it made sense. Her daughter is not young anymore. She can’t hide from others for the rest of her life and become tough on her own. She is as cowardly as Miss Hu San, and she will be completely finished. No matter who she wants to promise her daughter in the future, she will not suffer too much. She must not have the intention to harm others and beware of others.

After leaving the courtyard where Su Yiqing lives, Mrs. Meng turned to see Meng Yan.

Meng Yan has been digesting the last Hu family incident these days. Mrs. Meng also put down the trivial things at hand, enlightened her daughter, and then told her to pick and choose some dark things that she had not allowed her daughter to know before. These things overturned Meng Yan's previous perception, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Yan'er." Seeing that her daughter was stunned again, she didn't even notice her coming in, she couldn't help but sigh. Did she be too impatient? But this life is different from the past. As Xiao Fu is about to join the royal palace and control the entire backyard of the Ding Prince's Mansion, the Meng family will gradually become more conspicuous. At that time, more people will want to deal with them, and their methods will be more superb, so I have to be careful.

"Mother." Meng Yan saw her mother and hurriedly stood up, thought about it and sat down, and put some needles and threads scattered on the bed into the basket.

Mrs. Meng cleaned her daughter's hair on her sideburns and said softly: "The birthday party of Mr. Lin, General Lin's house, you go with me."

"No..." Meng Yan was frightened when she heard the birthday party and simply said, "Mother, my daughter doesn't want to go."

"Silly child, why do mothers want to attend such banquets? But this is a normal social engagement, and it's not okay to go." Mrs. Meng sighed, "Mother knows you are afraid, but you can't hide at home for the rest of your life. Mother has thought about it, and you don't have to go there after school. You just follow your mother and teach you some basic things."

Meng Yan was mentally prepared if she didn't go to the boudoir to study. Madam Qing and others had hinted to her before that girls of her age should stay at home to learn something else, but she really didn't want to attend such a banquet again. Most of the noble girls she didn't know, and Xiao Ban didn't like her because of Meng Xiaofu's relationship. There were still one or two people who had a good time, because Princess Xiuwen was present, and she didn't dare to pay attention to her. This was the first time she felt the coldness of the world.

Seeing that his daughter was silent and had worries that had never been before, Mrs. Meng comforted her: "Don't worry too much. The last time was rare. My mother would never encounter this time. This time, Lu Teng would accompany you. In addition, my mother asked Pan'er around her to accompany you. Pan'er's father is the home guard. She has learned some fists and is not smart, but it is enough to deal with those weak and delicate girls."

Meng Yan bit her lip and said, "Mother, it's time to hope that her son should accompany her daughter, but Lu Teng is... the person around her second sister, and the second sister... After all, she has been in the countryside for so many years, will she..."

"Stop talking." A sharp look flashed in Mrs. Meng's eyes, and then she lowered her voice, "Yan'er, mother doesn't know and doesn't want to know that this is what you think, or who is gossiping in your ears. But my mother has told you so much these days, and your second sister has also said so much last time. Do you not think about it at all? Your second sister doesn't necessarily like you, but she will never harm you, at least she will not harm you for no reason. As long as you don't go against her, she will not harm you. She is about to marry into the royal palace. This road is very difficult and needs help from sisters. You are blood-related relatives, and you should watch and help each other."

Meng Yan understands the truth, but the education she received before was different from legitimate and illegitimate, but now this illegitimate sister will always be on her head. Just like when she went out last time, those noble girls will definitely be ridiculed. Thinking of those ridiculous gazes, she felt like a big stone pressing on it, and she couldn't breathe.

Mrs. Meng captured the unwillingness in her daughter's eyes, staring at her daughter's eyes, and said, "Yan'er, are you unwilling to accept it? But the road of life is still long. Who knows what will happen in the future? Even if your second sister now marrys a noble son-in-law and a wife is noble by her husband, you can't compare with her for a while. Who can guarantee that you can't be rich by your mother in a few decades? Enjoy all the blessings of children and grandchildren. This is the greatest happiness for a woman. The life your second sister is about to live surrounded by enemies is really not worth envious. If you can choose, the mother will never want her daughter to marry a high-powered prince like Ding. You must know that the reputation of Ding's wife being destitute is not groundless."

Meng Yan bit her lip and whispered: "Mother, the last time County Lord Xiuwen said that it was Prince Ding who seduced the second sister. Is it true?"

"Of course not." Mrs. Meng immediately denied, "The marriage was proposed by your father. Your second sister had never met Prince Ding before."

"Mother, Madam Qing and the others said this earlier, but County Lord Xiuwen and the others said it makes sense. How noble Prince Ding is? How could he easily agree to marry a concubine daughter who was raised in the countryside? Mother, now, my daughter wants to hear the truth." Meng Yan looked back at Mrs. Meng's gaze.

Mrs. Meng said firmly: "No, the marriage was proposed by your father, but why did Prince Ding agree? I have thought about it. The only reason is that your second sister's previous attack was heard by Prince Ding. When she was attacked by robbers, she could still remain calm in the face of danger. This kind of boudoir woman who was not panicked after the attack is very rare. You should know that at that time, Master Dong from your aunt's family wanted to escape alone in the chaos, which aroused the robber's idea and killed him. Miss Dong cried and shouted in front of Prince Ding's soldiers, making her noise very out of control. In contrast, your second sister

The performance is really admirable. Prince Ding is in a high position, and the wife he needs is definitely not a weak and unprotectable sheep. To be fair, do you think she is very powerful after getting along with your second sister these days? Prince Ding’s position must be someone like your second sister to sit still. Otherwise, if someone accidentally plots it, even Prince Ding will be shamed. When Prince Ding’s soldiers saved your second sister, they will definitely mention a few words when they go back. Prince Ding is determined to remember it. It happened that your father mentioned the marriage and he agreed. It’s nothing strange. This is also called marriage decisiveness."

After the explanation was reasonable, Meng Yan could not find any flaws and thought that his mother was justified. On the contrary, many of the noble girls could not justify their opinions. For example, they said that the second sister was not very good, and they were old and had a low status. But on the other hand, they said that the second sister took the initiative to seduce Prince Ding. Prince Ding has not seen a woman in eight lives. How could a woman who was useless in their eyes easily seduce Prince who was in high positions at a young age?

"Mother, my daughter knows that she is wrong." After thinking it through, Meng Yan sincerely admitted that she was wrong.

Mrs. Meng patted her daughter's hand and comforted her: "It's good for young people to know their mistakes. Remember, you don't need to deliberately please your second sister, but you can't humiliate her. Even when outsiders slander your second sister in words, remember to protect your second sister, otherwise they will only let outsiders laugh at it. Not being able to match sisters is not a good reputation. In addition, your surname is Meng, and you are also the daughter of the Meng family. In the eyes of outsiders, you are a family, and you are all in the same mood and prosper together for a moment. Your second sister has a bad reputation and you can't escape. Others don't know it. You should know that since these days of getting along, your second sister has made any mistakes?" (To be continued.
