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

System: [Because Zhang Cuihua’s family came later.]

Qin Yue: [Could it be that Zhang Cuihua’s family said something? ]

Lord Meng thought of his uncle’s family, oh, no, it’s not his uncle’s family now, it’s Zhang’s brother’s family.

Before my father passed away, the two families didn't have much contact with each other.

He vaguely heard Zhang mention in a conversation with other women in the village that she had a hard life in the Zhang family in the past.

Because the Zhang family favored boys over girls, Zhang was almost drowned when she was born. When she grew up, she began to be tortured by her family. There was endless work to do all day long. Even in the winter when she was not feeling well, she had to go to the cold river to wash clothes.

It was not until her father married Zhang and gave the Zhang family some money that Zhang was able to escape from the evil den of the Zhang family.

However, after my father passed away, the Zhang family often came to our house.

Could it be that because of the Zhang family, they said something in front of Zhang that made Zhang change her mind and treat him so hypocritically?

System: [Yes, it is indeed the Zhang family that is interfering.]

[After Father Meng died, they heard the news and came to Zhang's house. They originally wanted to trick Zhang Cuihua into giving the Meng family's money to them, her family members. However, they found out that all the money of the Meng family was given to an elder of the Meng family, and they could only receive it from the elder every month.]

[This news made their good plan go awry, but they did not give up. ]

Qin Yue said with disdain: [Tsk tsk tsk, this family doesn't seem to be good people. They would blatantly seek other people's property after the head of the family died. Who do they think they are? Bah! This is shameless! ]

Lord Meng was also a little surprised when he heard his sister's words.

It was the first time he knew that the Zhang family had actually made such a plan.

But it's not surprising that he doesn't understand, because every time the Zhang family came, he was basically in school, and even at home he was studying in his room.

The Zhang family would not hang around in front of him, probably because they were afraid that he would notice something, or maybe they simply did not take him seriously.

Their target is the Zhang family.

The other people in the hall, especially those from humble backgrounds, actually felt the same way.

After all, who doesn’t have some weird relatives?

It's... it's really difficult...

System: [Mr. Meng was only ten years old at the time, still too young, so every month the elders directly gave the money to Zhang Cuihua to manage, and she was responsible for purchasing daily necessities.]

[So, the Zhang family felt that although they couldn't just take all of the Meng family's assets at once, they could take a little bit every month, and the accumulation over time would allow their family to live better than before.]

[So, they began to brainwash Zhang Cuihua, saying that Lord Meng was not her biological child after all, and if Lord Meng knew about this one day, then Zhang Cuihua would only be able to rely on her family.]

[In fact, Zhang Cuihua was unwilling to pay attention to the Zhang family at first, but they mentioned the thing she least wanted to face, which was that she couldn't have children and Lord Meng was definitely not her child. ]

[If Lord Meng really knew the truth one day, she couldn't imagine whether she would be despised and abandoned. ]

[At that time, the Zhang family was very attentive to her. Not only did they apologize for what happened in the past, they also asked Zhang's nephew, the twelve-year-old Zhang Baoqiang, to perform in front of Zhang Cuihua, help with various chores, call her "aunt" all the time, and even said that he would provide for her in her old age to please her.]

[It was this series of actions by the Zhang family that made Zhang Cuihua relax and slowly start to consider the Zhang family's proposal, or slowly pin her future on Zhang Baoqiang. As the Zhang family said, if Lord Meng didn't want her anymore, the only people she could rely on would be the Zhang family who would break her bones and connect her tendons.]

Qin Yue: [Oh my god, she has found her "next owner". So she thinks that even if she loses Lord Meng, she still has her nephew as a fallback. So she is gradually brainwashed by the Zhang family...]

[Poor Lord Meng, it was originally the only choice, but later it became an optional choice...]

Mr. Meng: Woo woo…

Emperor Jin Yuan and his court officials showed even more sympathy...

System: [Hahaha, yes, Lord Meng is really pitiful.]

[He probably still thought that Zhang Cuihua treated him well during those years when he was preparing for the imperial examination.]

When Lord Meng heard this, his heart began to beat fast, and he had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next moment the system said: [In fact, Zhang Cuihua has been pretending in front of Lord Meng since she began to accept the Zhang family again. Her purpose is to confuse Lord Meng and the elders of the Meng family so that she can continue to stay in the Meng family and continue to receive the "monthly salary."]

[Zhang Cuihua had long been deceived by the Zhang family and had given most of her "monthly salary" to the Zhang family, leaving only a small portion for the Meng family's household expenses.]

[Mr. Meng thought that the family had little money, so they lived in hardship, and that Zhang Cuihua worked hard for the family and to take care of him, but in fact, all of this was just Zhang Cuihua pretending!!]

[However, Lord Meng did not know the truth, so he was very grateful for Zhang Cuihua's efforts, but also felt guilty. After becoming an official, he obeyed Zhang Cuihua's orders.]

[But in fact, the money left by Father Meng is enough to ensure that Lord Meng has normal food, clothing and daily expenses, so that he doesn't have to eat coarse food. ]

[The Meng family only ate poorly when he was at home. As long as he went to school, Zhang Cuihua would start to treat them well and would secretly have some meat from time to time.

Qin Yue: [A world where only Lord Meng is injured has been achieved...]

Emperor Yuan of Jin and all the court officials: A world where only Lord Meng is injured has been achieved...

Mr. Meng: Someone give him a rope, let him hang himself!! Woohoo…

So from the beginning to the end, Zhang's "kindness" to him was all fake, right? !

Woohoo... He should just hang himself... He has been deceived for so many years and has made himself so embarrassed that he can't even face people anymore...

Qin Yue: [What about Meng Fugui? ]

Lord Meng: That’s right, that’s right. You can’t hang yourself first. You have to know what Fugui is like!

If Fugui is not his child, then where are his biological children?

System: [Meng Fugui is actually the son of Zhang Cuihua’s nephew!!]

Qin Yue: [Fuck! The Zhang family is taking advantage of Mr. Meng. Not only did they take the money left by his father, but they also sent their son to the Meng family to enjoy a good life! They really don't miss any advantage! ]

Lord Meng was confused again!

What?

What is the old sister talking about?

Fugui is the child of Zhang family???

Everyone in the palace: This plot is so ridiculous... Lord Meng is so miserable...

Emperor Jin Yuan and the court officials could no longer remember how many times they had looked at Lord Meng with sympathy. They could not even think of mocking him because Lord Meng was so pitiful...
