Mrs. Meng found sadly that although she felt something was strange, she could not do anything now. Meng was obsessed with it and would not listen to her. She was just a woman in the inner husband, and only a few servants could use her. If she insisted on pursuing something, she would find out, and she was afraid that she would die faster.

It’s just that after so many years of cruel struggles, Mrs. Meng is not a person who is waiting to die. Although she can’t think of a safe solution after thinking about it, there is one thing she can do at the moment.

The next morning, Meng Yan saw her mother who had come to see her early in the morning. Although her mother said she had nothing to do, she knew that her mother must have something to do.

After Mrs. Meng asked Meng Yan in detail about everything about her life, she never mentioned the key points, Meng Yan finally couldn't help asking: "Mother, are you... really nothing wrong? My daughter is worried about you."

Mrs. Meng stroked her daughter's hair with her hands and sighed, "My Yan'er has grown up and her mind is more delicate than before. You were careless and poor children. If you can, my mother really hopes that you will still be like before."

"Mother, people have to grow up, everyone comes here like this. My daughter is very good now, so don't worry." Meng Yan comforted her mother in turn. What she said was the truth. After this time with her husband, the couple had a heart-to-heart relationship and could think about each other.

My husband was a little disappointed with the officialdom, but he insisted on staying to study, just to avoid letting her go back and face the Zhou family. In addition, he didn't want her to be seen clearly by her parents. Even if she didn't want to be an official, she would take the exam again. If she passed the Jinshi, she would be considered an explanation to her parents.

Meng Yan naturally followed her husband's arrangements.

Mrs. Meng said to her daughter: "Yan'er, the son-in-law feels sorry for you. I don't want you to make things difficult for the Zhou family. You have to go back even more. It's just to serve the mother-in-law and take care of my sister-in-law. That family has been like this. After a few years, it will be over. It's nothing."

After hearing this, Meng Yan was unwilling to do so. Who would let the couple have a good life? But when she went home, she faced a lot of trivial matters of a big family, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and her seven aunts?

Seeing her daughter's reluctance, Mrs. Meng sighed secretly in her heart. She naturally knew her daughter's thoughts, but many things need to be compared. Compared with the strange situation of the Meng family, the so-called troubles of the Zhou family are just kids quarrels, while the Meng family will be fine if there is nothing to do. If there is something, it will cost human life.

The Zhou family is a big family in the local area, but it is even more insignificant in Yancheng. If there is really nothing, it will not be so far involved in the Zhou family.

Some things cannot be explained to my daughter clearly. Mrs. Meng thought about it and advised her: "Yan'er, people should take a long-term vision. It's nothing to suffer when they are young, and some conflicts should be resolved as soon as possible. Don't wait until you get older. The son-in-law is a good person. If you suffer some grievances today, he will know and will pity you more, do you know?"

Meng Yan lowered her head and bit her lip tightly. Some things were not convenient for her biological mother to say. It was not just that she didn't want to go back, and her husband didn't want to go back. As a man, sometimes he would rather be stabbed than face those trivial matters that were too chased. Therefore, he could only vaguely say: "My daughter knows, but her husband wants to take the exam for fame and fortune. When he goes home, he also has an explanation to his clan members. You know, his brothers on the other side are officials. If he fails the exam, it is difficult to explain to his family."

After thinking about it for a moment, Mrs. Meng realized that the son-in-law's two nominal mothers, his brother followed his biological mother. The merchant family could pass the imperial examination and become an official. However, the son-in-law grew up in the Zhou family. If he failed the examination, outsiders would inevitably accuse Yang of dereliction of duty and not teach him his own children intently. However, under the grievance of the Yang family, family conflicts would become fierce again.

It is all a difficult thing. If it cannot be stated explicitly, Mrs. Meng cannot force her daughter and son-in-law to leave. Think about it, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. If something really happens, it will be almost impossible to return to the Zhou family in Yancheng. In fact, the result will not be much different. Just walk around to her daughter in the future.

Meng Yan obviously didn't want to continue the heavy topic, so she asked: "Mother, how is the second sister doing now?"

When she mentioned Meng Xiaofu, Mrs. Meng's face immediately looked ugly and she was not good to tell her daughter clearly, and she said, "It's nothing, it's just a bad mood. If you have nothing to do... don't bother her. Now Dingwang Mansion avoids thanking guests, and our own family must not break the rules."

Meng Yan looked at Mrs. Meng with some surprise. I remember the last time she saw her mother, she kept persuading her to go to Dingwang Mansion and talk to her second sister. Why has she changed her words now? Is the second sister's situation really so bad?

Meng Yan's mood is still a bit complicated for this second sister, but in general, no matter from any perspective, she should hope that the second sister will be good. Therefore, she still cared about it: "Prince Ding... can't come back soon?"

When it comes to King Ding, Mrs. Meng felt even more frightened. She felt intuition that it might be better if this person didn't come back, and a little blessing alone would be difficult to deal with. If King Ding comes back, and the couple joining forces, it would be easy to crush whoever they want to kill.

But as a commoner in the Zhou Dynasty, the Meng family was a military general before, but Mrs. Meng had to hope that King Ding would return to the city as soon as possible, because the longer King Ding stayed on the border, it meant that the situation became more and more tense and war would break out at any time.

The war between the two countries is no better than other things. Some things will be easily sluggish after being held for a long time, but the war is different. It is not easy to prepare for a large-scale battle. In addition to soldiers, there are also various materials. Large-scale battles, where tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers gather, food and grass is a big problem first and cannot be consumed for a long time.

She was a woman in the inner house and didn't know how many soldiers the court had mobilized to the border, but based on her experience as a wife of a military general, the more grain prices in Yancheng rose, the more the grain was, the lower the food was.

The harvest this year is good, but the grain prices are rising. There is only one reason. Some people are purchasing and hoarding grain in large quantities. Most of them have only one purpose for storing grain in good weather.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters. If the war really breaks out, Yancheng is a safer place. If there are other places, there will be rioters coming in from the war-torn places to take the opportunity to rob.

"Mother..." Meng Yan couldn't help but call out a lightly when she saw Mrs. Meng distracted.

Mrs. Meng came to her senses, remembered her daughter's question, and sighed: "Even your father is not very clear about this major event in the court now. When will Ding King come back? My mother doesn't know."

"The second sister must be very worried, no wonder she is in a bad mood." Meng Yan, who is also a woman, is now a little emotional. "Talk about it, the child is almost full of a month? I haven't seen her biological father yet, it's so pitiful."

"Yes!" Mrs. Meng thought to herself, that was just for ordinary women, but Xiao Fu was not necessarily the case. Some people cannot use common sense to infer.

The topic became heavier and Meng Yan didn't want to talk about this anymore, so she changed the topic and said: "By the way, I heard Ping's mother say last time. Meng Si is about to get married. How are you preparing for the marriage? I am an aunt, what can I do?"

When it comes to Meng Si, Mrs. Meng can finally relax. There is no need to think too much about this topic. If you have anything to say, tell your daughter the truth, "Meng Si has suffered a lot at such a young age, and it is a bit pitiful... But she is a villain and married a merchant, and your elder brother has already separated. Your father doesn't want to care too much, so he just lets your elder brother and his wife decide on it themselves. Then he will get married in another village, and the Meng family. It is not advisable to be too ostentatious... But if it is too deserted and wronged Meng Si, it will be inconvenient for me and your father to go there, so you don't have to be taboo. Then you and your son-in-law will go over to support the scene."

"Okay, I will definitely go there." Meng Yan and Meng Si have been together for a few days and have a good impression of Meng Si. Seeing that she has a good home now, she was also happy. When she mentioned Meng Si, she naturally thought of another one and asked again, "Mother, Meng Si is married, how about Meng Yurou...?"

"Let's talk about it slowly, she doesn't have to worry." Mrs. Meng was not happy with Meng Yurou because of the Mi Lion's big talk. She didn't want to mention her too much. Whatever Mi did, as long as she didn't retreat at this critical moment, she would do whatever she wanted.

Meng Yan nodded and stopped talking.

When she came back from her daughter, Madam Meng felt a little tired. After changing her clothes, she lay on the couch and closed her eyes and rested.

At this time, Ping's mother came in and saw Mrs. Meng's tired look on her face, so she wanted to withdraw, but she heard Mrs. Meng say, "Mom Ping, if you have something to do, just say it."

Then Mother Ping said, "Madam, I think you are sleeping and there is nothing big about it. I just came to pay my respects to you and kowtow. She will get married in a few days. Knowing that you and the master are not convenient to send her out of the house, I want to kowtow to go out of the house. If you are tired, I will comfort her and forget it."

"No... let her come." Mrs. Meng thought for a while and asked Ping's mother to let Meng Si come in.

Meng Si came with Mi. After all, his daughter got married, and Mi pretended to behave, so he took her out to buy some dowry and found an excuse to come to Meng's family to see if he could get some benefits.

Mi also asked to see Mrs. Meng, but Ping's mother knew that Meng Si would not want to see her, so she didn't mention her when she replied, and said that the wife was a little tired, so she just asked Meng Si to say a few words to let Mi take a break outside.

Mi Shi was obviously unhappy, but Ping's mother ignored her at all.

He brought Meng Si into Mrs. Meng's house.

Meng Si kowtowed to Mrs. Meng in a regular manner.

Mrs. Meng looked at her carefully. She probably had eaten well during this period and had gained weight. She was no longer as pale and thin as she had first met. She was covered in bones. She was wearing a pink floral satin skirt and wearing these two small red flowers on her head. She looked very beautiful. She also had a blush on her face and a faint joy in her eyes. Perhaps it was because her wish was fulfilled.

This expression of Mrs. Meng is not unfamiliar with her daughter. She was about to get married before, and she also had this expression. However... when she thought of her daughter and looked at Meng Si, she couldn't help but think of Xiaofu again. Before Xiaofu got married, she did not have such a joyful expression.

Although Xiao Fu was also silent at that time and seemed to be shy and timid, now when I think about it, the kind that seems not to be shy, but to deliberately avoid emotions.

At that time, Xiaofu was not excited and happy as if he was about to get married. He was like facing a reluctant marriage, and later he became seriously ill. However, she didn't think too much at that time. At the beginning, the rumors that it was Prince Ding made her a little worried... Now I think there are many strange things.

"Grandmother... This is the embroidery of the granddaughter. If it is not well embroidered, you should think of it." Meng Si gave a embroidery shyly. She was really grateful for everything Mrs. Meng did, but she had nothing to repay except embroidering something.

"I'm thinking, the embroidery is really good." Mrs. Meng took it and took a look. She could tell at first that it was embroidered with great care. After putting down the forehead, she thought for a moment and looked straight into Meng Si's eyes, "Meng Si, how are grandmother treating you?"

"Grandmother, you are as heavy as a mountain of grace to Meng Si." Meng Si replied without thinking.

Mrs. Meng asked again: "So do you want to repay my grandmother?"

"Think." Meng Si's answer was very simple and even more firm.

Mrs. Meng didn't beat around the bush: "Okay, now I want to ask you a few questions. Don't blame me for what I mean. Just answer seriously. Even if I repay me, I just want to listen to the truth."

"Yes, Meng Si will definitely not say a lie." Meng Si said firmly, "If there is a lie, it will be called Meng Sitian to hit the five thunders."

Such a vicious oath shows Meng Si's sincerity. Mrs. Meng said, "Do you hate Mi?"

Meng Si was stunned for a moment. Obviously, she didn't expect Mrs. Meng to ask this question. She slowly lowered her head, and after a while, she raised her head and said, "Hate."

He saw another word, which was obvious to the truth. Mrs. Meng asked again: "Why? Because she beats you and scolds you?"

Meng Si shook her head and said, "No, it is also necessary for parents to be strict with their daughters. In the countryside, let alone mothers, other mothers in the village often beat and scold their biological daughters. Country girls are not worth money, and they all come here like this. I am not because of this hatred of Mrs.

"Why?" Mrs. Meng stared into Meng Si's eyes.

Meng Si's eyes gradually turned red, and she said for a long time: "Because she killed my mother, my mother hung her because she heard that she was going to be sold to the dirty land... and finally she was thrown into the mass grave by a roll of broken mat."

So that's the case. Mrs. Meng thought that Mi could not treat Meng Simeng Nian's mother well. She just couldn't expect that she would be so vicious. She would just sell her house. But at least she would give people a way out. Why should she sell people to that kind of land just to make a little more silver?
