In the Dingwang Mansion.

Lian Yufeng listened to his subordinates' reports.

"Luocao said that before, Miss Meng was excited to embroider the wedding dress by herself, it was not by others' hands. It was auspicious to sew every stitch and thread. She also asked the mothers around her that the style was simpler because she was afraid that she would not have enough time to sew... Later, Mrs. Meng arrived. She was surprised when she heard that Miss Meng wanted to embroider the wedding dress by herself, so she asked a few questions. There was nothing special about it. When it comes to dowry and room companions, Mrs. Meng specifically mentioned whether she needed to find a few more decent maids to dowry. It seemed that there was something in her words. Ms. Meng sent all the maids out, but Luocao didn't listen.

Seeing what the two said, then a little maid named Alan rushed in and cried to Miss Meng to find a maid named Juzi, saying that she was missing. Miss Meng and Madam Meng were not good at that time. After a while, Miss Meng said that the maid named Juzi had returned to the countryside. The women dragged the maid named Alan away. Then the maids went out again. Madam Meng and Miss Meng said nothing again, no one heard it. Only when Madam Meng left, there was a clear look of horror on her face. Miss Meng was stunned for a while, and suddenly picked up the scissors and cut the Yunxia brocade to pieces. Luocao and the others dared not ask."

Lian Yufeng frowned and asked, "Has Mrs. Meng changed anything wrong before? Has anyone ever found her?"

The subordinate said: "There are few customers in the Meng family these days, and Mrs. Meng has never left the house. She just goes to and gives gifts by her relatives. In addition to the last time Mrs. Quan Si came, Mrs. Dong, who was the sister of Mrs. Meng, sent an old lady to send some fresh fruits to Mrs. Meng. But according to her subordinates, giving fruits was just an excuse. She should have had some letters, so she asked again. Mrs. Quan Si had been to the Dong family before, and it was only an hour after she gave fruits to the old lady."

"I understand, you go down and keep staring." Lian Yufeng ordered lightly.

After his subordinates left, Lian Yufeng changed into black clothes and told Huang Yusong to follow him and go out.

Seeing that even Yufeng was wearing black and did not ask for a car or something, Huang Yusong obviously did not want to alarm anyone, so he hurriedly asked, "Is the prince going to the Mongolian Mansion?"

Lian Yufeng nodded, "I have to go and see. Ask her what happened."

Huang Yusong said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. You're so... you'll be afraid that you'll get gossip and it's not good for Miss Meng. Since the Meng family lost a maid, Meng's house has been much more cautious. After all, Mr. Meng was a general and had led troops to fight. He has many skilled people under his command. If you are not careful, things will easily cause big things."

Even Yufeng understood this truth, but he was just concerned, and he was confused. Su Yiqing even cut the silk for the wedding dress. When she heard her say she was going to sew a wedding dress with her own hands, the joy in his heart was beyond words. Although she did not answer the question last time, this was obviously a positive answer.

But now she cut the silk with her own hands to break it. Does it mean she regret it? What did Mrs. Meng tell her? Did she know that?

The bystander Qing, Huang Yusong advised: "Prince, even if you want to see Miss Meng Er, you can find another good opportunity tomorrow. Don't worry about this moment, why bother to get people talking? Miss Meng Er may not be happy."

Even Yufeng thought about it, so he suppressed his anxiety and said it tomorrow.

...

In the Meng family's main courtyard, Meng also loudly scolded Mrs. Meng, "What's going on with your Quan family? At this moment, it's clear that he gave me a beautiful king. He was a slap in the face of the Meng family. After all, it was a marriage in-law. Even if I am now a low-ranking official position, your family's speed of turning against others is too fast."

Mrs. Meng said with a blank expression: "The master knows very well what I have to do. How can I stop me?"

"You have been completely pushed. Why didn't you say that when you wanted to get married?" Meng was so angry that he was shocked by Lian Yufeng that day, and he was shortened by the momentum. He didn't dare to get angry at Mrs. Meng's almost provocative attitude. Afterwards, he was too depressed. However, he was frustrated for a moment, and even the woman who was not so arrogant in front of him on weekdays dared to shrug his face. He was not yet as if everyone was pushing him down. The sudden incident happened, and he didn't react for a while. He had been thinking about finding a reason to get back this breath for the past few days. The matter of the Quan family was a good reason.

Mrs. Meng said easily: "What do you think of me? It is said that the Quan family did this, but the Quan family is a big family, with countless children, and is complicated. The one who gave the beauty is not the same room as me, so I can't control it. Of course, if the master wants me to speak harshly and say that I will cut off contact with the third wife and even the Quan family in the future, then I will never say anything and will do it. Please believe me, and I am also angry about this."

Meng was choked back. If he had not been demoted, he would have been angry in his heart. He would definitely be able to ask Mrs. Meng in this way, but now it is not appropriate to make enemies. A Quan family that has no help is better than a hostile Quan family, but is it just so let go? Seeing Mrs. Meng's appearance, the anger in his heart is even better. Well, there is no way to deal with the Quan family, and it will never be impossible to deal with this woman...

"Master, my sister sent the woman to give us some fresh fruit yesterday. The woman told me that the master of the Dong family intends to marry the Hu family in Beixiang for his nephew." Seeing that Meng also had a bad expression and had a sign of being harsh to her, Mrs. Meng was suffering from the loss in front of her, so she quickly said this.

The Hu family in Beixiang, which is the peak that he is now on. Meng Ye held back the breath in his heart and asked hurriedly: "Is this true?"

Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "The mother talked about it, but she didn't make any formal decisions. How could she have a certain degree? Even if both families have that meaning, it was normal to get together for various reasons. Isn't our family like this? But since the mother said this, it must be groundless. Both families are not ordinary families, nor do they say they get married. The Dong family has just returned to the city, and others don't know their children, and they don't know others either. Fortunately, the two families are not old and can take a look at each other slowly. Coincidentally, the Hu family's wife's birthday will be on the birthday of the next day. There are also posts to our family. The Dong family's nephews are not in the city. Now my sister is pregnant and it is not convenient to go out. As long as we ask me to pay attention... Of course, our family has a lot of things now, and the Hu family has no friendship with our family. If the master is not happy, I will not go there. It is not rude to give a gift."

"No, since I sincerely invite you, let's go." Meng also said hurriedly, then glanced at Mrs. Meng's face that seemed a little proud. The tone that had just been suppressed came up again. After thinking about it, he said in a muffled voice, "I want to remember Xiaofu to your name."

"This is what it should be." Mrs. Meng agreed immediately without any hesitation or unhappiness.

Meng was even more depressed. He thought that after saying this, Mrs. Meng would hesitate or even refuse to agree, so that he could take advantage of the problem. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Meng agreed readily, making him not know what to say next.

With such a look, Mrs. Meng secretly disdained her. She was just a concubine daughter, and she would remember it in her name. She just gave her more dowry. With Meng Xiaofu's family, this dowry would definitely not be saved and would not harm her any interests at all. Is Meng just a little trick? Or after being demoted, her IQ also decreased? It is a joke to use this to stimulate her.

Disdain is related to Meng Xiaofu. Mrs. Meng immediately thought of a question and didn't bother to be angry with Meng, reminding her: "Master, it's okay to remember it in my name, but it's all done just to add a piece to the genealogy. You can't make a big splash or even treat you, so as not to outsiders who make a fuss about Xiaofu's origins and anger the Prince."

Meng also thinks that it makes sense. If some things are not mentioned, it is easy to get vaguely. When getting married, it is just a comparison with the legitimate daughter. He reminds everyone that he wants to marry an inconspicuous concubine daughter, who acts in secret, and may others think that Xiaofu has always been remembered in the name of Mrs. Meng as the legitimate daughter.

Seeing that Meng could not find anything wrong, she didn't want to give him time to think of other tricks, she said, "Master. If there is nothing wrong, I will go and do it first. Since I have decided to go to the Hu family's banquet, I have to prepare a gift. I'll go to the warehouse to see if there is anything suitable."

"Go." Meng couldn't think of any difficult plan. When Mrs. Meng carried it out of the Hu family, he was shorter. His errands were not good now. Not to mention his bad work, he had to be careful whether someone would stumbling him. If he made a little mistake, he should be demoted to another place to be a sesame mung bean official. There was no hope at all.

...

Hu Mansion.

The Hu family's grandfather was once the first rank and served as the tutor of the prince. Unfortunately, the prince who was assisted died of an emergency and was unable to inherit the throne. The Hu family's grandfather's knowledge is recognized by the court and the country, and there are countless disciples and officials. Because of this, after the former prince passed away, the princes who were willing to fight for the throne were attracted by many parties. However, the Hu family's grandfather was very slick and did not offend either party but did not stand in that camp. This kind of self-protection method certainly reduced the danger, but also hindered the career of officialdom. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he settled the Hu family's grandfather idle, and the Hu family's children were not valued and were suppressed. The Hu family's grandfather was not valued.

The master died in depression, but the aristocratic families have a century-old foundation, and they cannot be easily destroyed. After the death of the Hu family, the emperor may have felt that the punishment had been enough, but changed his attitude, the Hu family made progress, especially Hu Tianpeng, the current head of the Hu family... He is in his early forties and is already the Left Minister of Justice. From a second-rank official position, it is rare that he has both civil and military affairs. He has passed down his family's poetry and books, but has not taken the imperial examination route, but has been a martial artist. He has made military achievements by himself on the battlefield with one punch and one kick. (To be continued.
