Meng Wan returned to the Shenjun Prince's Mansion in the carriage of the Rui Prince's Mansion. Mrs. Hu was fiddling with her favorite pot of orchids. When she heard the report from the maid, she smiled contemptuously, "Humph, everyone knows that the Rui Prince doesn't even enter her room, but now he comes to support her sister."

Mother Hong handed over a pair of small silver scissors. "That's right. I heard that when Second Madam was at her parents' home, Princess Rui never even looked at her."

"A girl who was ordered around by me, now has to call me sister. How can she feel comfortable? Otherwise, Princess Jing made a good move."

"I really don't understand. It is said that Prince Rui is the most approachable person. Whenever there is a sensitive word, he pretends to be ignorant, fearing to offend someone. He can be said to be trying to survive in the cracks. Why does he make Prince Jing so worried?"

Hu put down the scissors in her hand and said coldly, "I don't know the specific reason. I just heard that Prince Rui seemed to have helped the crown prince. Prince Jing tried to make indirect suggestions, but Prince Rui acted as if he didn't hear anything. This angered Prince Jing. You can choose not to take sides, but you are not allowed to get too close to your enemies."

"But, it seems to me that after Princess Rui married into the family, Prince Rui seems to be getting closer to the Crown Prince. The last time he was punished by Concubine Lian, wasn't it because Princess Rui stood up for the Crown Princess?"

Mrs. Hu smiled slightly, "Fool, you don't know your own weight, and you still want to stand up for others. Look at how many problems she has caused to King Rui after marrying in for almost a year. And everything King Rui does is under the control of those two. Forget it, this topic is not for us to talk about. Zheng'er is concerned about it. We just need to do what he wants."

Mother Hong responded softly, "Would you like to take a look at the menu for tomorrow night?"

"No need. You know what Brother Zheng likes to eat. It's none of my business whether others like it or not." Mrs. Hu sat down. "How's the accounting office doing?"

"Fuchun's wife has already gone. I look at the grandmother's face and she looks unhappy as if it were covered with dust."

"Unhappy? Humph, you have to bear it even if you are unhappy. If she performs well in this matter at the end of the year, I will not cause trouble for her. If I find out anything, humph, Meng Wan will take the lion's share and I will let her eat the smaller share."

"Your Highness is wise. Don't worry, everything is done according to your wishes. There won't be any mistakes. Xiaohuan's pregnancy is stable, and the doctor also said that the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine can be stopped for a while."

"It's good that it's stable. It will be difficult for Mrs. Xie to do anything. In this case, don't let Mrs. Zhong go again. We should also give Mrs. Li some opportunities to perform."

Mrs. Hu rubbed her forehead, "Is Bi'er not back yet?"

When Mrs. Hong heard Mrs. Hu mention Bi'er, her smiling face suddenly turned cold, but she didn't dare to let Mrs. Hu see it. "No, maybe the heavy snow delayed the trip."

"Well, just watch out. As long as you come back, no matter how late it is, you must come back to me."

Qinghe Garden

Meng Wan changed into her home clothes and lay comfortably on the big kang next to the window. Tomorrow is Meng Xiu's wedding day. Because she has to travel a long way, it is not good to go out at dusk, so the time is set at 9 o'clock. She can wait until she reaches the northwest and then follow the custom.

She wanted to stay at the Marquis's mansion tonight to save herself the trouble of going back tomorrow. But Meng Qi asked her to go with him, because if Meng Qi didn't go tomorrow, she didn't know when they would see each other again. There were still many things they hadn't finished talking about, so they simply took the carriage of the Prince Rui's mansion and drove around most of the capital before returning.

Mother Kong looked at Meng Wan, whose face was red and whose hands and feet were cold, and said with concern, "Can't you find a teahouse or restaurant? What will you do if you get frozen?" As she spoke, she covered Meng Wan with a blanket.

"It's nothing. It's warm in the car. I just got cold from walking all the way back." Meng Wan thought about the topics they talked about along the way. It was really rewarding.

What did Meng Qi experience in his previous life? How did he know so much? He even asked Zhou Yu to be on good terms with Zhou Jun and told himself to visit the third room more often.

Could it be that Meng Qi had really married Zhou Yu in her previous life? It was not impossible.

Meng Wan thought about how when Zhou Yingrong got married, it was Zhou Jun's mother, Lin, who came to help take care of things. Thinking of that woman with a face as big as a full moon, a kind face but who never took the initiative to talk and always smiled at everyone she saw, could it be that she knew something?

I heard that when Wang was still alive, she and Wang had a good relationship and they often visited each other. She didn't ask Meng Qi why she wanted them to get along well with the third branch of the Zhou family. Meng Qi just said that she should just do it, and maybe there would be an unexpected surprise.

Cai'er came into the room with a rosy face and a smile. She first took off her cotton jacket in the living room, and then warmed her hands before entering the east room.

Meng Wan brought Chuan'er and Dongmei back to the Huainan Marquis' Mansion today. Dongmei took the opportunity to go home and went to Liu Mama's place. She thought Meng Wan would stay at home for one night, so she was not in a hurry. Meng Wan was afraid that the matter over there was not handled, so he asked Guo Mama to send someone to tell Dongmei to come back with him tomorrow.

"How is Seventh Sister? Have you adapted?" Meng Wan asked with a smile.

During this period, Cai'er would run to the outer courtyard unless she had any special errands. People in the mansion secretly laughed at Meng Wan, saying that Zhou Yu would not enter the inner house, and Meng Wan was anxious.

"Well, as long as the Second Master doesn't go to the outer courtyard, she's fine and cheerful every day. Besides, she can chat with Brother Wu more."

"Oh?" Meng Wan was surprised. Wu Hen's face was as cold as a thousand-year-old ice. No matter what Zhou Yu said to him, he just simply said, "Okay, no problem," as if saying one more word would waste his energy.

"Second Madam, do you know how Seventh Sister managed to get Brother Wu to talk to her more?" Cai'er seemed to have thought of the scene at that time, and she covered her mouth with her hands and laughed.

"Why are you keeping it a secret? Just say what you want to say. How dare you let Second Madam guess?" Chuan'er reached out and gently tapped the back of Cai'er's head.

"Hehe, every time Seventh Sister asks Brother Wu a question, as long as Brother Wu doesn't answer, or gives a perfunctory answer, Seventh Sister will follow him and ask. She keeps asking, and follows him wherever he goes. Just like today, we packed up all the old things in Second Master's room, and Brother Wu came back. Originally, we were going to pack up those old things and take them away, but Seventh Sister pulled Brother Wu aside and asked..." Cai'er kept the question in suspense, looking at the two people who were listening to her with relish.

"Seventh sister asked Brother Wu how he flew that day."

Meng Wan laughed. Yes, she also wanted to know how Wu Hen flew. If there was a chance, she would like Wu Hen to take her flying once. This time, she would definitely not close her eyes.

"What did Brother Wu say?" Chuaner asked.

"Brother Wu ignored her and tried to leave with the old thing. Seventh sister followed him and kept asking questions, asking him where he used the strength, and which leg was lifted first. She even asked Brother Wu...hahahaha"

Chuan'er patted her on the back and said, "Speak properly."

"She asked Brother Wu if he recited any spells before flying, and asked him to teach her. Then she stood in the yard and pretended to fly."

Meng Wan shook his head. This seventh sister was really a bit silly.

"Also, Brother Wu was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He wanted to explain to her how he flew, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't know how to explain it to her. Then, Brother Wu picked up the seventh sister and put her on the wall."

"What?" Meng Wan was stunned at first, then she chuckled, thinking of Wu Hen's face which turned red every time he spoke to her. For him to be so proactive, he must have been really helpless because of his Seventh Sister's nagging.

Chuan'er even hugged Cai'er's shoulders and laughed non-stop, "Put it on the wall? What happened next? What happened next?"

"Brother Wu left."

"Ah? You're leaving and not caring about your seventh sister anymore?" Meng Wan asked.

"Well, before Brother Wu left, he asked Seventh Sister, have you learned it?"

"What about the seventh sister? Brother Wu left like that, what should the seventh sister do?" Chuaner asked.

"Mingfu brought the ladder over and helped Seventh Sister down." Chuan'er said with a smile, "Second Madam, do you think it's interesting? Xuefu also said that when Seventh Sister didn't go to the outer courtyard, the courtyard had never been so happy. I think Brother Wu is more interesting. He is usually a serious person, but he does things that make people laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt."

"Who has a stomachache? Do you want to see a doctor? It's not easy to recover from an illness in the winter." Mother Kong lifted the curtain and came in, looking worried.

The three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.
