Chapter 103 Everyone Feels at a Loss
Lady Rongguogong's guess was correct. Madam Meng II really took this opportunity to make a big fuss and even went to the old lady, crying and complaining about her grievances. She insisted that it was a conspiracy by the first wife, who deliberately wanted to embarrass and frame the second wife.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Meng Zifang was also there but nothing happened to her!
Lin Yuwei was eager to clear the name of the first wife, and she hurriedly explained, cursing and swearing that the matter had nothing to do with her, and she dared to guarantee with all her heart that Meng Zifang would never do such a thing.
She felt that she had been very sincere and convincing, and had explained things very clearly, so the second wife should have nothing to say.
Little did she know that her hasty response gave the second wife an opportunity to get angry.
Madam Meng sneered, but her words were extremely sharp: "Third niece, I didn't say you did anything. You are so anxious to jump out and express your opinion. Are you trying to cover up something?"
Lin Yuwei was furious: "Second Aunt, please don't wrongly accuse me, I didn't do that!"
"Then why are you so anxious? It's obvious that you are guilty! Look, old lady, the third wife has admitted it. You must make the decision for our second wife. What did my poor son do wrong to be targeted and framed like this?"
Madam Meng II covered her face and wailed, crying and making a fuss, refusing to give in, insisting that Lin Yuwei was just guilty.
Once Lin Yuwei denied it, she would argue: If you are not guilty, I have never mentioned your name and said what you did, why are you so anxious to jump out and defend yourself? You are guilty!
Of course, Lin Yuwei is the daughter-in-law of the eldest wife, so whatever she does is equivalent to what the eldest wife does.
In the final analysis, this is because the first wife doesn't like the second wife...
Madam Meng Er was crying and making a fuss, while Master Meng Er was cheering for her. Both of them were determined to keep biting Lin Yuwei.
Lin Yuwei was speechless and her words became increasingly incoherent in her anger, so she asked Madam Meng Er to seize the opportunity and fight back fiercely.
Lady Rong was so angry that veins on her forehead were throbbing, and she shouted at Lin Yuwei to shut up.
I really can't have such a useless daughter-in-law!
The barefoot are not afraid of the shod. The second house would make a fuss even if they had no evidence. What about the evidence? The first house had no choice but to make concessions and ensure that the betrothal gifts for the second son of Meng would be paid by Gongzhong, and that the second wife of Meng would be satisfied. The wedding banquet would also be held in a grand manner.
In addition, the courtyard and house of the bride and groom must be newly selected and renovated, and all the furnishings, furniture, curtains, brocades, etc. must be provided by the government.
In a word, we must have the best and the second wife must be satisfied.
The second wife left with satisfaction.
Lady Rongguogong's face turned pale. She confined Lin Yuwei to her room and told her to learn the rules honestly. Until she learned them, she would remain "sick".
Lin Yuwei panicked. How long had she been back? She was being confined to her room after the family reunion banquet. How would the servants view her?
She hurriedly looked to Meng Mingchi for help.
Unexpectedly, Meng Mingchi perfectly replicated the way she treated Meng's mother. His eyes were dull and he looked away. He clearly received her look for help but turned a blind eye to it.
Lin Yuwei was not Meng's mother. In panic, she begged Meng Mingchi, "Husband! Husband! Please help me speak up, please help me speak up! I am really innocent, you know, I am innocent."
The wife of Duke Rong and the servants all stared at Meng Mingchi intentionally or unintentionally. Meng Mingchi froze and felt a little uncomfortable.
He suddenly felt angry and sneered silently.
Since Lin Yuwei married him, almost every time she spoke to him, she would mix in some words like "I condescended to marry you, that's a injustice for me, and I'm still so good to you, it's the blessing you have earned in eight lifetimes, you must be good to me in the future", so that every time Meng Mingchi heard Lin Yuwei speak, he would subconsciously think in this direction.
This time is no exception.
He felt that Lin Yuwei was asking for repayment for her kindness again. She was hinting to him that he should not forget that she had condescended to marry him and that he must help her.
But why?
It was fine before, but does he have to listen to Lin Yuwei now?
If she was capable, and if she could help him gain a foothold in the Duke's Mansion as soon as possible, it would be fine for him to listen to her. After all, she was the daughter of an official family, and she had been influenced by them since she was a child. She must know and understand more than him.
But unexpectedly, she is such a fool!
In just a few days, he had caused so much trouble, which disgusted his mother and made him disliked by her.
He hasn't settled the score with her yet, so how dare she ask him for help?
He would be a fool to help her.
Meng Mingchi couldn't pretend he didn't see it, but his eyes remained indifferent, "Mom is doing this for your own good, so just listen to her."
Lin Yuwei opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "Husband..."
Meng Mingchi was a little embarrassed and glared at her fiercely: "Lin, is mother going to harm you? Don't you understand mother's good intentions?"
Lin Yuwei felt bitter and disappointed.
Along with this bitter disappointment, she couldn't help but panic.
She actually clearly felt that her husband was not as nice to her as before. At first, she didn't take it too seriously and even explained to herself: his status is different now, so of course he treats me differently. But now, she is not sure again!
This change seems to have nothing to do with his identity, but with him as a person...
How did that happen?
What is wrong...
Lady Rongguogong watched coldly. She had originally thought that Meng Mingchi, her adopted son, would say a few good words and plead for Lin Yuwei, and she had already thought about how to politely refuse.
Unexpectedly, he didn't say a word of pleading, but instead started to lecture her.
Lady Rongguogong's wife was stunned, her eyes full of sarcasm: These two people are a perfect match, one is stupid, the other is ruthless, huh!
Lady Rong ordered Lin Yuwei to be taken away, and gave Meng Mingchi a mild reprimand.
Seeing Meng Mingchi listening to her instructions respectfully with his head lowered, Lady Rongguo curled her lips, sneered silently, and floated away.
They are all garbage, that’s fine!
Little Yu from Yuyin Garden listened to these gossips and felt gloating and very happy.
"Retribution, this is retribution! They want to take away everything that belongs to me and the prince, they are dreaming!"
Nanny Fu took a look at the Crown Prince's wife, whose face was filled with resentment and anger, and felt both distressed and emotional. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
Forget it, as long as the Crown Prince’s wife is happy.
No matter what form of happiness it is, it is better than the previous despair. As for the future... just take it one step at a time.
In the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion, as soon as Fu returned, she rushed straight to Old Madam Shao. She couldn't help wiping away tears when she talked about this sudden marriage.
