Mrs. Meng sighed secretly. If a person gets sick, he will subconsciously find someone he is close to on weekdays. However, Meng Xiaofu never asked about his personal maid. This is a maid who grew up with her, depended on each other and shared hardships. The relationship should be deeper than his parents. How could he forget it because of a moment of confusion? It is obvious that there is a ghost in his heart.

If the lady's personal maid suddenly disappeared, there was only one possibility. She knew too much about the lady. As for what happened, it was already very obvious now. Looking back, it seemed that the maid Juzi was very well-behaved. She didn't want ordinary ladies and personal maids to not only never play and joke together, but also rarely whispers. Xiaofu looked at the maid several times, but Juzi was very respectful.

She was originally worried that someone would make a fuss about the disappearance of this maid. Now that I think about it, no one will investigate it. But if it was really related to Xiaofu, this concubine's daughter was really cruel and ruthless. Could this disease be pretended to be a fake?

The more Mrs. Meng thought about it, she became more and more frightened. She didn't dare to think about it. She whispered to Madam Qing, "Tell Mother Ping, if Xiaofu doesn't take the initiative to ask, don't mention it. If Xiaofu asks, she will say... She thought it was Xiaofu who sent this maid out. After that, Xiaofu got sick and the people in the mansion were overwhelmed, so she didn't have time to ask. Let her answer cleverly according to the situation, and also think of a way to make the maids and mothers in Xiaofu's yard not discuss this matter."

Madam Qing was shocked. Did the lady wonder how the second lady was doing with her personal maid? Another person disappeared from the second group yard for no reason. Who will be the next one?

The maid Fan'er hurriedly came. After saluting, she said, "Madam, Mrs. Quan is here."

Mrs. Meng frowned. After Xiaofu and Prince Ding's marriage was promoted, Mrs. Quan Si never went to the house again. At that time, she was very upset and didn't care about it. In terms of reason, this matter was considered a loss to the Meng family. In the eyes of outsiders, the Meng family took the Quan family as a backup. Once they climbed up another high branch, they would put the Quan family away, making the Quan family suffer a loss. It's okay for others to say that Mrs. Quan Si was the most innocent in this incident, especially Quan Zhenwu and her. They would definitely be criticized.

Now Mrs. Quan Si suddenly came to the door, why?

Mrs. Meng couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking and told Fan'er, "Please go to the small flower hall, I'll be there soon."

After receiving the order, Fan'er left hurriedly.

Mrs. Meng went back to her room and tidied up her makeup and changed into clothes before she went to see Mrs. Quan Si.

Mrs. Quan Si was wearing a light rose-colored satin skirt with delicate flowers embroidered on the corners. She was wearing a hollow gold hairpin with pearls on her head, and her dress was as usual. It was not gorgeous, but it was well matched, but the makeup on her face seemed a little heavy, and there was a faint blue-black look in her eyes that could not be covered by powder.

It seems that Mrs. Quan Si is not doing well. While greeting Mrs. Quan Si with a smile, Mrs. Meng asked the maid to change it with hot tea and snacks. She was secretly alert and would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Mrs. Quan Si must have something to ask for when she came to the door at this time, but she had such many situations recently and she really had no time to take care of anything else.

Mrs. Quan Si was also looking at Mrs. Meng in secret. She saw Mrs. Meng wearing a long smoke-green dress with golden silk and a thin smoke and emerald green gauze on her clouds. She was wearing two coral orchid hairpins in her clouds. She was wearing a round pearl necklace on her neck and a white jade bracelet on her arm. Her dress seemed to be more gorgeous than before. Her makeup should be a new addition. Her identity was lower than that of Mrs. Meng. When she met, she often dressed up. She was not too deliberate. Now she was like this. She definitely did not value her, but deliberately concealed her.

It is obvious to cover up anything. The wife is noble, and General Meng was demoted to three levels in a row to be a small city patrolman. The Meng family's current situation is much worse than before. Everyone knows this. Even if there is a marriage that looks at the noble, it is difficult to hide the news that the Meng family is about to decline.

Prince Ding is powerful, but no one is optimistic about this marriage. He thinks that Prince Ding wanted to win over General Meng at first. Anyway, he has such a reputation as a wife, and it is not easy to marry a wife with both moral integrity and talent. A girl who is truly valued by the family will definitely not marry. If Prince Ding is not valued by the family, he will not help him. Instead of doing this, it is better to find a family that is beneficial to him. As for the girl himself, he will be able to live a good life. If General Meng is not demoted to the third level in a row, this marriage will look like a high-ranking Meng family, but it is very suitable to think about it carefully.

But the marriage was just heard, General Meng was demoted to three levels, which was intriguing. General Meng’s open crimes were said to be big or small, and with the ability of Prince Ding, he would never have done so. Even if he was determined to help Zhou Xuan, he would never have been demoted to a place where bandits were rampant and conflicts were rampant. These local civil officials were afraid, but the generals had many opportunities to make meritorious contributions and could easily be promoted back. Isn’t this the case for the Shao family?

Now this is simply a failure to promote General Meng. The city patrol has no chance to make meritorious contributions in such positions, and it is easy to offend many people. Newly transferred people usually have to last for a few years before they can move. After a few years, General Meng will gradually grow old. As a military general, once he has passed the hurdle of fifty years, he has no achievements, so naturally there is no need to say that in the future.

These things are all the results of Mrs. Quan's fourth wife relying on her daily connections and inquiring from multiple sources. The experienced men of the Quan family also think that Prince Ding did not attach too much importance to General Meng, or that General Meng himself had been too arrogant and did not take Prince Ding seriously, which angered him, so he did not maintain it. As for this marriage, it was just a woman. If she married her, she would marry her. If she didn't get married, she would put it aside and would not get anything wrong.

In this situation, Mrs. Meng's complexion also proves everyone's guess from the perspective of this, but what can this happen now? Mrs. Quan Si couldn't help but become entangled. She forced a few words of scenes, but she was not as calm and clever as she used to be, and seemed a little anxious.

Mrs. Meng is now having a lot of things, so she doesn't have the patience to take her time, so she simply asks directly: "Is there anything wrong with my brother and sister?"

Mrs. Quan's face changed, but she still said reluctantly: "There is nothing important, I just come and have a look. I heard that the second lady of the imperial palace is sick, so I'll visit her."

"It's just that I felt the cold of the wind. The master was a little nervous. It was also because of the marriage... It's already gone now, hey! It's just a little foul daughter. Now she's sneezing and it's all the house is shaking." Mrs. Meng's tone was a little impatient.

Because Mrs. Quan refused to tell her about this, Mrs. Meng underestimated her true emotions and deliberately showed some disdain. Prince Ding's coming to the mansion could not hide the fact that Prince Ding came to the mansion. The more she concealed some things, there would be many speculations. She just forbidden the people in the mansion to gossip and suppressed the matter of Prince Ding's staying in the mansion for a few days. It was claimed that the prince came to visit several times a day, except for a few servants in the inner house, the rest did not know the details, so she treated Prince Ding as nervous Xiaofu and brought the imperial physician to visit. Now the outsider has come to say that their Meng family exaggerated and raised herself. Prince Ding could not attach so much importance to a little concubine. It was just a little polite to come over to ask for it because of the mercy. Their family would be polite.

After saying this, Mrs. Quan Si took over the topic and said, "You can't say that. I heard that Prince Ding has come here in person, which shows that he attaches great importance to this marriage."

Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "Prince Ding has always been kind and righteous. Even if it is not Xiaofu but other girls who have been engaged to him today, he will definitely do the same. If outsiders don't know nonsense, don't joke with your younger brothers and sisters. Now I have nothing to do except helping the girl prepare her dowry."

"What is the need for this dowry in sister? But do you want me to help? Uncle San’s family is doing business, and some rare things cannot be found by others, but we still have some solutions." Mrs. Quan Si looked enthusiastic.

Help, this is going to cause bleeding. Madam Meng's heart moved and said, "There is nothing in the Dingwang Mansion. The military general's family is not a civil servant. Besides, our master has recently... the concubine's daughter is filling in a house again. Don't be too arrogant. Give more money to the box, which is better than anything else."

Mrs. Quan Si said seriously: "Sister, this matter cannot be careless. After all, with the power of the prince, we cannot neglect anything. We must prepare well."

Mrs. Meng replied casually: "This is not my final say. I have to follow our master's intention. Our master was demoted to the third level. He was a little uneasy, for fear of making mistakes. If he prepares a large dowry for his daughter, he will spread it. It is not that I crying for poverty. Now in the Meng family, it is really difficult to prepare a dowry for his daughter that is enough to match the identity of Ding Wang. Instead of slapping the swollen face and causing criticism, it is better to do whatever he wants.

"It can't be too simple." Mrs. Quan Si turned her eyes and asked tentatively, "The sister didn't think about recording the second lady into her name? In this way, she could respect her sister as her mother."

"I haven't thought about this. There are too many things at home recently." Mrs. Meng gently picked up the teacup and didn't drink it. Then she said, "But even if I remember it, I probably would have recorded it in the genealogy. I would not treat you to drink with you in a big way. Now I have a few pairs of eyes outside. It's better to be careful if you have more things than anything else.

Seeing Mrs. Meng's attitude of serving tea, Mrs. Quan Si was a little interested in seeing off the guests. She could not ask any more meaningless questions, otherwise Mrs. Meng would misunderstand what she was asking for, and said, "Actually, I want to say, sister, have you ever thought about what the second lady should do after she gets married?"

Mrs. Meng frowned and looked at Mrs. Quan Si, and said lightly: "You can do your duty to take care of your husband and children, what else can you do?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
