Chapter 674 Fear
After hearing Mrs. Quan's fourth wife, Mrs. Meng immediately gave up the idea of interfering in this matter.
At first, she was willing to stand up for Meng Si just for her daughter. Although the Zhou family is not a wealthy family, she is also a prominent family. The family is so complicated. Her daughter and her family are not around. If there is anything, she will inevitably suffer some grievances. After the Chu family moved over, her daughter is considered a relative of her parents. The Zhou family always has some concerns in their actions. Even if they can't help, it's good to be able to inform them.
But now, seeing the Chu family's actions, the small families are not knowledgeable, can't stand things, and do not know how to restrain themselves and avoid suspicion. What are the confidences of the Chu family's relatives who have the courage to play a rude with the gangsters? Didn't they just think they were involved in the borders of the Ding Prince's Mansion, and they didn't even look at the current situation in the court. It was too late for others to hide. They dared to instigate Meng Si to find the people of the Ding Prince's Mansion. If Meng Si hadn't known the etiquette and had come to the Meng family to see her first, they would have gone directly to the Ding Prince's Mansion.
She really couldn't control this matter. After returning, Mrs. Meng avoided Meng Nian and spoke with a more transparent Meng Si. She was going back to her hometown. She was almost a thousand miles apart in the future. She was not afraid of offending others and spoke around Wan'er. She first asked Meng Si about the details, and then confirmed that Meng Si was not clear about the details, she clearly stated that the other party had concealed something. This matter was not what she said at the beginning, but that both parties were wrong. It was said in public that Meng Si's mother-in-law's family was even more wrong. As long as the government handled it impartially, the crime of seriously hurting others would not be sentenced lightly.
Meng Si was completely confused. She had seen her mother-in-law's family, and they were all honest and worried that the leaves would fall and hit the head. How could she dare to hurt people? But after calming down, she knew that Mrs. Meng had no need to lie to her, and such things were difficult to lie to others. I think it was because her mother-in-law's family that had concealed something.
Even so, Meng Si still begs Mrs. Meng again, hoping that she will help her anyway, otherwise the Chu family would definitely be blackmailed if they have no power or power.
Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Si who begged Meng Si, sighed, took Meng Si's hand, and said, "Meng Si, I'm going back to my hometown. I shouldn't say much, but now I'm completely sincere. I used to be sorry for you, and now I don't have the ability to make up for anything. What I can do is to remind you as a person who has experienced it. Human abilities are limited. No matter when and where, it is the most important to save yourself. Don't always think about asking others for help. Some help requires a thousand times reward. For this matter, it's better to see what the government's attitude is. If the verdict is really too heavy, you can't help but find a way. If the verdict is not heavy or you can pay money privately, just forget it."
"But, my mother-in-law's family is a farmhouse family, and only a little bit of land passed down by her ancestors, she has no money at all." Meng Si lowered her head and felt embarrassed.
Mrs. Meng then took off a pair of green and transparent bracelets on her hand and handed them to Meng Si.
Even though Meng Si had no knowledge, he could see that the bracelet was very expensive. He dared to pick it up and said hurriedly: "Grandma, I can't accept it, and I'm not here to ask for money."
Mrs. Meng forced the bracelet to Meng Si's wrist and said gently: "It's just a bracelet, just a little bit of intention. Meng Nian looks to be old. I guess I can't watch her get out of the house. This bracelet is an old object, and I'm a little angry. You can take it to the jewelry store to consign it, and then change it to newer gold and silver jewelry for Meng Nian as a dowry."
Meng Si couldn't refuse it when she said she was doing a dowry for Meng Nian, but she knew in her heart that Mrs. Meng was just saying it was nice. The real meaning was that she could sell the bracelet to help her mother-in-law's house with some silver.
Although Mrs. Meng had good intentions, Meng Si felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She only felt that the jade bracelet was heavy on her hands, as if it was pressing on her heart.
When she returned to the house, Meng Nian had been waiting for a long time. Obviously, she knew that Mrs. Meng was looking for her, so she was anxious to ask the result as soon as she met. Mother Xin was waiting in the house with Meng Nian.
Xin's mother was dowrying to the Zhou family with Meng Yan. This time she knew that Mrs. Meng was about to return to her hometown and was a master and servant. Mrs. Meng left for thousands of miles this time and she was older. Even if Meng Yan might go back to visit Mrs. Meng in the future, she might not be able to follow her at her age. So she took this opportunity to follow her sisters back to Yancheng and tell Mrs. Meng apart.
Meng Si didn't dare to tell Meng Nian the truth, so she found an excuse to be perfunctory, thinking that she would tell her the truth after Madam Meng left, so that she would not run to Madam Meng to cry and beg.
After finally sending Meng Nian away, Xin's mother stayed in the house. Meng Si couldn't help but ask, "Mom Xin, is there anything wrong?"
Mother Xin turned around and went out to close the door first, then lowered her voice and said, "Miss Si, isn't your wife helping with this?"
"How do you know?" Meng Si frowned. Could this matter be known to everyone in the palace? So will it be spread to Meng Nian's ears later?
Xin's mother smiled bitterly: "I have been with my wife for so long, so I naturally understand some tricks in the great families. The wife may have been tired during this period and was not very clear about it. If such a small case is really easy to solve, it will not be delayed until now. If it is delayed, it will not be solved. It is not the range of the wife's ability."
"How should I tell Meng Nian?" Meng Si murmured, very worried about Meng Nian. She knew that Meng Nian was actually a boy from her mother-in-law's family. The two families also had such a meaning. Everyone knew that they were inferior. It was a happy event to get married. But now that this incident happened, if the case cannot be properly resolved, the family would be defeated. If they didn't help, they might be blamed, which may not be a good marriage.
"Miss Nian is just a little girl. As long as you make up your mind, she will be easy to coax." Seeing that Meng Si was not stubborn and insisted on continuing to help, Xin's mother looked relieved.
"Mom Xin, should I beg again..."
"Don't go." Before Meng Si finished speaking, Xin's mother hurriedly interrupted Meng Si's words and repeated again, "Miss Si, you must listen to my advice, and you must not ask Princess Ding."
"Why?" Meng Si was a little surprised. Why did Mrs. Meng and Xin's mother react so strongly when she mentioned the Ding Prince's Mansion. In her impression, the princess and aunts were a very good person and were very kind. She went to ask for help. Even if the princess and aunts refused to help, there was nothing.
