So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

Mrs. Meng followed Meng Zhengcheng to the study room. Seeing him sitting on the armchair in a huff, she took the teacup from Chang Sui and sent the servant out. She carefully served her husband a cup of tea.

Then she pretended to be gentle and virtuous, and gently rubbed her husband's shoulders with her hands to calm him down. Seeing that he was no longer so angry, she began to persuade him, "Husband, you are also very angry today. Take it easy. Fu'er is still young. Why are you angry with her? Talk it over. Fu'er understands all these principles."

She had been observing Meng Zhengcheng's expression, and seeing that he was not angry, she continued, "My husband blames me for not understanding things, and I feel very wronged. My husband, don't blame me for being nosy. I also asked someone to find out about the Yang family that my husband likes, and they are really humble and poor.

There are only a few acres of paddy fields, two shabby houses, and an old mother to rely on. She is also a widowed mother from a poor family. She looks no different from the son-in-law of the Qiu family. It seems that he is going to torture the new bride. I am really worried about our Fuer!"

This indeed touched Mrs. Meng's motherly love. "Our Fu'er grew up being pampered and loved. Now she has to marry into such a family. I really... really can't bear to let her go." As she spoke, she began to cry and couldn't help wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Seeing his wife like this, Meng Zhengcheng was so angry that he laughed. He couldn't be cold anymore. "You, you! How can I say you are good? You used to be smart, but now you foolishly compare me with Qiu Zhuo.

I am the regent appointed by the late emperor, a second-rank official in the court, in charge of a department. Qiu Zhe is just a lowly seventh-rank official in the Hanlin Academy. How dare the Yang family bully my daughter? Even if they are as scoundrels as the Tang family, they dare not insult our family. Madam, you are really worrying too much."

He patted Madam Meng's hand and continued, "The Yang family only has a widowed mother, and no other brothers, sisters-in-law, and younger sisters. When Fu'er marries, we will bring a lot of dowry, the servants and maids we have at home, and buy her a comfortable house, so that her life will be almost the same as at home.

"I have seen Yang Jia carefully. He is a sensible and honest child. Besides, we have said in private that his mother is in poor health and will die in a few days. After she dies, there will be only her daughter and son-in-law living alone. How could they let our daughter suffer?"

"This is still considered thoughtful, but every family marries a daughter-in-law of a lower status and a daughter-in-law of a higher status. I don't think it's a dream for our pampered daughter to marry the prince. With such poor in-laws, we can't even hold our heads up when we go out. How can we socialize in the future? I'm afraid that others will laugh at our family." Mrs. Meng grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"You!" Meng Zhengcheng was furious. He didn't expect that all his heartfelt words were completely useless. "How come you don't understand me?" He was so angry that he couldn't help but point his finger at Mrs. Meng's face.

"We have been married for many years, and I have never said anything harsh to you. But I must say something to you today!" He brushed away the teacup that Mrs. Meng had earlier offered to him out of flattery.

"Do you think that the current situation is stable and our family is living a prosperous life? You used to socialize with people all the time, and you know everything about the gossips of the neighbors. I didn't expect you to be so slow to understand the current situation.

I tell you the truth, in three months at the least and half a year at the most, there will be great turmoil in the court. It is still unknown whether I can be the regent minister or the minister of the Ministry of Revenue by then!"

Meng Zhengcheng's words frightened Mrs. Meng. She stared blankly at her angry husband, not knowing what had happened.

"My Meng family is a family of imperial examination candidates, not a famous clan. Unfortunately, most of the children in the clan are not ambitious. Until now, there is still no good seedling who can make progress. You know our Peng'er and Qu'er. They were sent to Haijiang Road and Huchu Road for training in the past two years, but they didn't achieve anything. It seems that our Meng family is going downhill." Meng Zhengcheng was heartbroken. Mrs. Meng was also angry when she heard her husband say this about her children.

"Why hasn't our brother made any progress?" She said dissatisfiedly, but when she thought of her sons' performance, she could only shut her mouth, knowing that she was in the wrong.

"Now I can see clearly that the Prime Minister is the Emperor's maternal uncle, so he naturally supports the Emperor; the Prince of Jin is young and strong, and I wonder if he has other thoughts; Zhao Lingji is close to both the Emperor and the Prince of Jin, so he can bet on both sides and stand firm; Que Yan is slippery, and he is a censor, so he can pretend to be deaf and dumb and keep silent. Now I am the only one guarding this piece of fat meat. Not only does everyone want it, but I don't have a backer or background, so I am really attacked from all sides.

The above people can make long-term plans, but the Grand Princess is not old, she can't waste time like this, she will definitely take action this year. Who do you think was responsible for the Jiangzhou corruption that made a lot of noise a few days ago? It was the Grand Princess's Mansion. "Meng Zhengcheng analyzed the current situation clearly, which stunned Mrs. Meng.

"The corruption in Jiangzhou was caused by the Grand Princess?" she exclaimed. "Then wasn't Xie Wenchang, the prefect of Pingyi Prefecture, the brother-in-law of the Prime Minister? How could he be involved with the Grand Princess's Mansion?"

"Speak more quietly. How about brother-in-law? How about in-laws? How about biological father and son? If one can have this beautiful dream of reaching the sky in one step, who would not be tempted? If the eldest princess can really succeed, Xie Wenchang will be one of the founding heroes. I'm afraid he will be granted the title of duke, which is more glorious than being the brother-in-law of the prime minister." Meng Zhengcheng lowered his voice and spoke with certainty.

"The court is already in chaos, why are you still trying to get involved with Prince Rui? While everything is still stable, choose a family without any background to quickly arrange Fu'er's marriage. Just think that my Meng family will stay out of it. This will put my mind at ease and it's also a gesture." Meng Zhengcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Madam Meng was terrified when she heard this. "Even if that's the case, we can't just find someone to marry Fu'er off!"

"That's why I chose the Yang family," Meng Zhengcheng said. "Although the Yang family is poor, Yang Wanfan is studious and down-to-earth. He may achieve something in the future. Moreover, his family background is simple and he won't cause us any trouble."

Madam Meng was still unwilling to give in, "But we can't let Fu'er suffer any injustice..."

"I have my own arrangements." Seeing that he couldn't explain it clearly to the lady, Meng Zhengcheng interrupted her directly, "Don't worry, I will definitely let Fu'er marry in a grand manner."

After that, he stood up and said, "It's settled now. Don't say or ask any more questions. Don't go around too much these days. Go see Fu'er when you have time, help her prepare her dowry, and let her wait for her marriage with peace of mind."

After saying that, Meng Zhengcheng turned around and left the study, and stayed in his aunt's courtyard in a huff.

Mrs. Meng had no choice but to return to her room with a sigh.

She thought about it and although she felt it was inappropriate, she knew her husband's personality very well. Since the decision had been made, there was no way to change it. She decided to go and discuss it with her daughter and comfort her to obey her father's orders.

However, Meng Yufu was unwilling to give up. She had seen Yang Wanfan before. He looked ordinary and boring, and his family was poor. Last time at the banquet arranged by Meng's father, she saw that his robe was faded, and he couldn't even take apart a crab for dinner. He was really not presentable. She didn't want to accept her fate and had to break off the marriage.
