Chapter 267 Worry
Su Yiqing smiled slightly, "Sister Yan doesn't have to be nervous, and you don't have to hide anything. I know what you think. I know the outside world's guess about my marriage. I can only say that if you have to marry, then you should be willing to marry. Think more about the benefits of this marriage. As for those things that have not happened, you can think that it won't happen. Now I only know that I want to marry a young and handsome prince who holds a high position. How many famous ladies are envious of it, that's fine."
"But..." Meng Yan wanted to ask, Second Sister, aren't you afraid? I heard that Prince Ding is a cold and ruthless and fickle person, but she knew that she shouldn't say this the day before Second Sister got married, which would be a bad thing.
Su Yiqing looked at Meng Yan and said softly: "Sister Yan, how old are you, I have experienced a lot of things. I can only say that when it is inevitable, don't think about so much, or just think about the good aspects, just treat it as if I will marry you and you will definitely be happy and will definitely live a good life, instead of thinking about something unfortunate that will happen. If it is inevitable, it is useless to think about it. If it doesn't happen, then today's worries are completely in vain. No matter whether it is to people or things, unless it is obvious harm to yourself, then treat the other party as a good person. The so-called intention to harm others should not be without, and it is not wrong to prevent others. Just be careful and not to be too direct, so as not to cause harm to others."
"Second sister, I'm sorry, I just... I was just unable to think about it for a while, and I didn't want to go against you." Meng Yan's voice was a little timid when she remembered the past, and she felt a little ashamed.
Su Yiqing smiled indifferently, "I understand. You have lived a very smooth life since childhood. You have not encountered any setbacks. You will feel uncomfortable if you have a little bit of trouble. In the future, you will understand that a few quarrels between sisters, a few sarcasm from outsiders, and the attitude of servants, etc. are not big things. It is not worth caring about. It is forgot to go back. Life is still hard. Many things that you think are serious will be ridiculous in a few years. Even if you hate people who are gritting their teeth today, you won't even remember your name in a few years."
Meng Yan felt a little regretful when she remembered the second sister's life experience. Before she came back, she heard from her mother's explanation that she always felt that her second sister's life experience was pitiful. However, after seeing her second sister's indifferent expression, she could no longer feel close. After that, the relatives of the servants and the ridicule of noble girls made her feel uncomfortable. She couldn't help but take off her anger and turned aside. Now that she has calmed down for a while, she feels a little ashamed.
As my mother said, if she hadn't had the second sister, she would probably have ended up with Miss Hu San, which was really terrible.
Su Yiqing was in a good mood. When she looked at Meng Yan, she seemed to have figured it out, so she gave some advice and said, "Sister Yan. I am a few years older than you, and I have been outside for so many years. Some things are so obsessed with the authorities. You are actually very happy now and have parents who love you. However, sometimes people should think more for themselves and plan for the future. Try to tell your mother if you have any ideas. After all, you are young now and you can think about it slowly if you have time to avoid being in a hurry in the future. Choosing a marriage is actually a way of life."
A faint blush appeared on Meng Yan's face. The girl was always shy when talking about her marriage and bowed her head without saying a word.
Seeing her appearance, Su Yiqing mistakenly thought that she didn't want to mention it, but she didn't want to continue. After all, she and Meng Yan were just nominal sisters and had bad relationships. Some words made sense, but speaking them from people they didn't like would have the opposite effect and would easily make people fuck each other.
Meng Yan lowered her head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised her eyes and asked, "Second Sister, if you could choose, what kind of marriage would you choose?"
"This question is too simple. Most women in the world will say it is similar, but I don't think you want to get the same answer." Su Yiqing paused for a moment before saying, "If I could choose, I would choose someone who would be willing to give me first, and secondly, look at family background. It does not require wealth and honor. The main family is not complicated, and mother-in-law and sister-in-law are easy to get along with."
Meng Yan thought for a while in confusion before asking, “What does it mean to be willing to give for you?”
Su Yiqing said: "This depends on various situations. In general, it is the person who likes me more. I don't want to marry someone who will be wronged for him. This is my own idea. Some people are different, and some people think that giving is also happiness, but I feel wronged. I only say how to choose, and I will choose to like me more than I like him."
Meng Yan seemed to understand but said, "Women should regard their husbands as their god, and they naturally have to pay. Is this also wronged? Besides... shouldn't they marry someone they like?"
At the last sentence, Meng Yan's cheeks flushed again, a little shy, and there were many girls in the boudoir school.
Su Yiqing smiled: "What the book says? It is better to have no books than to believe in books. The book also says that a wife who is a bad person cannot go to the court. But there are so many people in the world who like the new and old, and who like to spoil their concubines and destroy their wives. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. After all, I am different from you. You have been favored since you were a child. You may feel that being a little wronged is nothing, but I don't want to live a life of being wronged and pleasing others."
Meng Yan looked at Su Yiqing with shock.
"Maybe... Maybe what the book says is right, my idea is wrong." Su Yiqing remembered the past, and her face showed a deep loneliness, "Where can you get something if you don't give? First, cause and then...
She made a mistake at the beginning, and now she has a chance to start over, so she must change her mind.
After receiving the report from the old lady, Madam Meng put down everything at hand, rushed to Meng Yan's house in a hurry. When she entered the door, she hurriedly pulled Meng Yan over and said anxiously: "Yan'er, what are you talking about with your second sister?"
Meng Yan looked at Mrs. Meng in surprise and said, "It's nothing? Just chat casually."
Mrs. Meng said, "It's nothing. The servant said that you will be in a state of dismay after you come back. There is something wrong with your second sister. Yan'er, I tell you, no matter how ignorant you are, you should know that your second sister will get married tomorrow. Don't say that she is your sister. Even if you are a person who usually has a rift, you shouldn't go to trouble you at this time."
"Mother, I really just chat with my second sister casually, and she was not unhappy." Meng Yan felt really wronged. Maybe her question was not very appropriate, at least the time was not appropriate, but the second sister was not unhappy and answered her questions very seriously. If she wanted to say that the second sister pretended not to care, she actually cared about it, so she really didn't know how to get along with others in the future.
"Really?" Mrs. Meng was busy with marriage recently and didn't pay attention to her daughter for several days, so she suddenly felt something was wrong today, afraid that her daughter would say something wrong, so she rushed over quickly. The marriage started with Prince Ding's proposal, and she was in a state of great condition. She saw Xiaofu a little abnormal in the past two days, so she kept holding her heart, afraid that something would happen in a critical moment. She felt that she could not stop it by herself, and she just wanted the mistake not to come from herself.
Meng Yan was even more depressed and said angrily: "Mother, you have always said you want to get closer to your second sister. Why did I say a few more words today, mother, are you like this again?"
Seeing that his daughter looked like she didn't seem to be able to say something wrong, Mrs. Meng couldn't help but breathe a sigh, "It's good that there is nothing, Yan'er, if it were before, my mother wouldn't tell you something, I'm afraid you're worried. Now that you're grown up, you should be sensible, so my mother will tell you what she is saying in her heart. These days, my mother's heart has been hanging. The Ding Prince's Mansion is not an ordinary family. If something really happens and the prince is furious, our Meng Mansion will be finished. Do you understand?"
Is it that serious? Meng Yan was a little stunned when she saw her mother's nervous look.
Mrs. Meng whispered: "Maybe my mother was too worried, and she would be very happy tomorrow. What kind of accidents could happen, but... my mother doesn't know how to tell you, she is just worried, maybe she is so busy. She just thinks that your second sister didn't seem to want to marry in the past, but she has been very happy these two days, which is too abnormal."
"How could it be? Why would the second sister not want to marry?" Meng Yan held her mother's hand and comforted her, "Mother, my daughter talked to the second sister. She really doesn't look like she doesn't want to marry at all. I really think she is very happy. Today, she keeps laughing, and she's smiling all over."
The abnormality was here, and Mrs. Meng murmured in her heart. Out of the sensitivity of a woman, she always felt that Xiaofu, the daughter, seemed not very satisfied with this marriage, but she suddenly changed into another person in the past two days. If Xiaofu had been cold and indifferent, it would be normal, but now she acted like an ordinary bride, which is really abnormal. In addition, she was nervous today, and she seemed to have some plans.
Meng Yan didn't know what Mrs. Meng was thinking, and said confidently: "Really, the second sister said in person that she was about to marry a young and handsome prince who was in a high position. Most girls in the boudoir admired her, so she was naturally happy."
Mrs. Meng said in her heart, this is too straightforward? It's very much like coaxing a little girl. How could a married bride speak so straightforwardly? It's because of these that she feels abnormal.
Meng Yan suddenly wanted to talk to her mother about her heart, so she leaned against Mrs. Meng, whispering beside her mother as if she was a child: "Mother, today's daughter is curious and asked her second sister, what kind of marriage would she choose if she could choose?"
Mrs. Meng's heart moved and asked, "What do you say about your second sister?"
Meng Yan thought for a while and said, "The second sister said that she would choose someone who is willing to give her, and then look at her family background. She does not need to be rich or noble, as long as her mother-in-law and sister-in-law are easy to get along with."
Mrs. Meng was stunned. The second half of the sentence was a choice that parents who really love their daughter often made. It was very common, but the first half was a little bit unspeakable. What did you mean to be willing to give for her? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
