I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

Qin Yue asked quickly: [What happened next? What happened next? ]

Emperor Yuan of Jin and all the court officials: What's next? What's next?

Mr. Meng: Then what? Then what?

Hey! Wait!

No! A relative came to his house? How come he didn't know?

System: [Host, let me first introduce the situation of Lord Meng’s family~]

[Mr. Meng’s family has three people. One is Mr. Meng’s mother, Mrs. Meng, and the other is Mr. Meng’s son, Meng Fugui. Mr. Meng’s wife died of complications during childbirth ten years ago.]

[So there are only three people in their family now, and of course some servants. ]

Qin Yue: [Meng Fugui? ? This name is so straightforward and down-to-earth...]

Lord Meng was embarrassed for a moment when he heard this, and muttered quietly: This is not his fault...

System: [Meng Fugui was given this name by Old Lady Meng. The implication is very clear. She hopes that this boy will live a life of wealth and splendor.]

[Also, although Lord Meng looks pale and skinny, Meng Fugui behaves like a nobleman. He not only eats well, but also looks plump and fair. He also wears silk and satin, and looks much more prosperous than Lord Meng.]

[The Meng family is run by Madam Meng, who left all the good things to Meng Fugui, leaving nothing for herself and her son, Lord Meng.]

[To the outside world, Madam Meng was also very stingy. In a nutshell, she spent all her money on Meng Fugui.]

Qin Yue: [I can understand loving your grandson, and I can understand giving good things to your grandson, but why do you want yourself and your son to live such a hard life? ]

[Lord Meng's salary should be quite high, right? Even if he can keep three people fat and white, it shouldn't be a problem...]

[Why only give it to Meng Fugui... Thinking about it this way, Lord Meng is really a bit pitiful. His own mother doesn't even let him have enough food, and he has become pale and thin.]

[I find it hard to understand why you don’t spend the money you earn on yourself! ]

Emperor Yuan of Jin and his court officials were equally unable to understand.

Especially the officials who had met the Meng family of three, they didn’t know what to say.

Three people were standing side by side, with a fat man in the middle dressed in luxurious clothes, and two people next to him wearing washed-out clothes, like the fat man's servants.

No one can tell that these three people are actually a family...

They really couldn't understand why Madam Meng was so partial. It would have been fine if she had just suffered herself, but she also made her son suffer as well.

I don't know what Lord Meng is thinking. Although Madam Meng is the head of the household, Lord Meng is also the head of the family. How come he has no thoughts or opinions about his mother's arrangements?

It's really incomprehensible...

Lord Meng himself also smiled bitterly.

There was nothing he could do.

His father died young, and his mother raised him alone with great difficulty. She would rather not remarry in order to raise him.

Now that he has the ability, he naturally wants to repay his mother for raising him, and he will never object to any decision his mother makes.

Although he didn't understand why his mother insisted on making him and himself live such a hard life, but was unreasonably good to Fugui, even though the family was clearly not short of money.

Just thinking about the hard work his mother went through to raise him alone, he didn't want to ask or say anything.

It's just that he eats worse and wears worse. The years of hard scientific research in the past were even harder than now, so he can still bear it.

Lord Meng was still immersed in his own memories, but the next sentence from the system hit him like a bolt from the blue.

System: [Because Lord Meng is not Madam Meng’s biological son! ]

Qin Yue was immediately shocked: [What? ! ! ]

Emperor Yuan of Jin and all the court officials: Holy shit! This melon is quite big!

Lord Meng was completely stunned.

I couldn't believe what I just heard.

What did my sister say?

Mother is not his biological mother?

Isn’t he his mother’s biological son?

how could be?

During those years, his mother got up early and went to bed late just to support his studies!

If they were not his biological children, how could he do this?!

But, these words were said by his younger sister, and he had no choice but to believe them!

What is going on?

Everyone looked at Lord Meng with sympathy.

Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder they were so mean to Master Meng, it turns out they are not biological mother and son, this explains it all...

However, since Lord Meng is not Madam Meng’s son, then Meng Fugui is not Madam Meng’s grandson!

Why is Madam Meng so kind only to Meng Fugui?

Besides, why shouldn’t you be nice to yourself too?

Everyone couldn't figure it out, and Qin Yue didn't understand it either, so she asked in her heart: "Sister, this old lady Meng is not even Lord Meng's biological mother, so why is she so kind to Meng Fugui, giving all the good things to him alone?"

[Also, even if she was not nice to Lord Meng because he was not her son, why was she not nice to herself as well? ]

System: [Who said that Madam Meng was not kind to me? ]

Qin Yue: [Didn’t you just say that all the good things were given to Meng Fugui, so she and Lord Meng got nothing? ]

The court officials: Yes, yes, they have seen Madam Meng. Her face is sallow, but her figure is quite normal...

Lord Meng was even more unbelievable.

His mother's face was even more pale than his, and it was obvious that she was living a hard life...

System: [Haha, host, the good stuff was not given to me, but I saved it or used it secretly.]

[Whenever Lord Meng was not at home, Madam Meng would cook for herself. But when Lord Meng was at home, she would eat watery food and deliberately make her face yellow, to make it look like she didn’t eat well.]

[Also, although the clothes that Madam Meng wears outside have been washed many times and have become white, her inner clothes are made of the finest silk.]

[Besides that, she has many nice clothes in her wardrobe, but she just didn't wear them in front of Lord Meng.]

Qin Yue was completely speechless: [So, in the entire Meng family, Master Meng is the only one who is really suffering...]

[As for the other two, one is enjoying his life openly, while the other is enjoying his life secretly...]

[The more I listen, the more I feel that Lord Meng is pitiful...]

Emperor Yuan of Jin and all the court officials looked at Lord Meng with even more sympathy.

I really didn't expect that Lord Meng was so pitiful. He was the only one who was kept in the dark, and he was the only one who really lived a hard life...

It's really too miserable...

At this moment, Lord Meng was completely stunned.

He really didn't expect that his mother's so-called hard life was just an act in front of him.

No wonder, no wonder he always smelled meat every time he went to his mother's room to pay his respects.

He also asked his mother if there would be meat to eat today, but his mother always said that he was daydreaming and that the family had to save money to save for Fugui.

When Lord Meng thought about this, he felt sick all over.

So, has he really suffered in vain over the years?

So, now he can eat meat without any worries?

As he was thinking, Lord Meng seemed to see the bouncy, attractively colored braised pork in front of him. The aroma kept drilling into his nose, and he began to drool unconsciously...
