After the replacement marriage, I was forced to fight at home
Chapter 241: Each of Us Thinks
Meng Juan diligently took a crystal glass and poured a glass of fruit wine for Meng Zhi. Meng Zhi picked up the crystal glass and poured the fruit wine into the tray in the hand of the little girl next to her, and said with a smile: "Our prince doesn't like me to drink this. He says that I go crazy after drinking it and he can't stand it." After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed, completely ignoring the fact that there was an unmarried girl from the tribe sitting at the same table with her.
Meng Juan's hand, which had just been poured out, maintained the same position as before. She watched as the glass of wine she had just filled was ruthlessly poured out by Meng Zhi, and her face looked very ugly for a moment.
Meng Wan looked at the two of them and laughed in his heart. Zhou Yinghan, who was at the same table, looked in surprise at Meng Zhi, who was smiling at Meng Juan with her head tilted, without any embarrassment about pouring the wine.
This is not a good idea. After all, Meng Juan is representing the Bonan Palace today, which is the family of Princess Jing. Outsiders don't know the grievances between Meng Zhi and their third house.
"Come on, since you can't drink alcohol, then drink some plum blossom and walnut honey. I don't know if other families have this, but we often drink it in winter. It contains walnuts, black sesame seeds, and fresh plum blossoms. It is the most fragrant. Drizzle some honey on it to warm it up. Would you like to try it, Your Majesty?" Meng Wan said.
Meng Zhi looked at Meng Wan's smiling face and nodded, "Second Miss is really thoughtful. In that case, I will try it. If it tastes good, please give me the recipe so that I can go back and make it for our prince to try."
"That would be great. If I can win the favor of the prince, I would like to thank the concubine."
When the servants heard that Meng Zhi wanted to drink this, they hurriedly took the glass and, with trembling hands, tried to pour it into the small sweet white porcelain bowl.
Chuan'er stepped forward to take it and said softly, "I'll do it." The girl breathed a sigh of relief, and Song also breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Zhi has been to the Huainan Marquis' Mansion several times. Although her tone was not very good, she had never done this to the servants in public. Was she targeting the Huainan Marquis' Mansion or the Baron Bo's Mansion, or just the third branch of the Meng family?
Liu wanted to tear the handkerchief in her hand. You are such a good man, Meng Zhi. Who gave you the face to dare to insult my daughter? I will send someone to your house later, or go to the chieftains of the Pangzhi tribe to make some noise. You think you are so arrogant in front of us just because you are favored by King Cheng. Humph, I made you not marry at the beginning, and now I can make you regret your humiliation of my daughter today.
The two maids from Prince Cheng's Palace who followed Meng Zhi exchanged glances with each other. This concubine Meng was a strange existence in the palace.
When she first entered the palace, she was very popular with Prince Cheng because of her young age. Later, because she didn't know how to curry favor and couldn't speak, she was so scared that she hid when she saw the prince. She would always run to the princess and beg her to let her go.
As time went by, the prince was no longer interested in it. I even heard the prince say that if it had not been sent by the Huainan Marquisate, he would have sent it back for Meng Hai's sake.
When did Concubine Meng start to become different? Did she hear from her family that her father had passed away? Or that her brother was suppressed by the clan? Or that her mother came to the mansion because she was sick and wanted to ask for a ginseng?
I can't remember, anyway, from then on, Concubine Meng changed. She became eloquent and outspoken, especially in front of the prince. She would make playful jokes and even laugh with the prince. This made the prince interested in her again.
From then on, several young girls came into the palace one after another. All the grown-up concubines were abandoned by the prince. Only Concubine Meng would always coax the prince to visit her a few times, and she would reward him every time.
Now, this concubine is very good at dealing with people in the palace. Even the princess likes to talk to her when she has nothing to do. Not to mention that she has the honor of being able to go out alone every year, which is the first among all the concubines and concubines of King Cheng.
The two maids pretended not to see anything. They only followed the prince's orders and made sure to keep an eye on Concubine Meng when they came out and not say anything they shouldn't to anyone.
The wife of the clan leader of the Meng Zhi clan was the one who indirectly helped Meng Zhi enter Prince Cheng's palace. She brought the wine glass to her lips but was reluctant to taste it, thinking about the changes in the Meng Zhi family in the past two years.
Less than a year after Meng Zhi was sent to Prince Cheng's palace, her father passed away. Although the clan leader did not admit it, everyone with a discerning eye knew that her father passed away so early because of Meng Zhi.
The clan leader's wife was worried at first, after all, Meng Zhi married into the palace, and if they were to settle accounts with them, three heads would not be enough. But she didn't expect that Meng Zhi was not favored at all in the palace, and it was said that the prince got tired of her after a short time.
The clan leader's wife breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, not only did she solve the urgent need of Huainan Mansion, but her family also gained benefits from the Marquis' Mansion. The Mengzhi family had to suffer this loss in silence.
But she didn't expect that after almost a year, Meng Zhi's family suddenly changed. Her brother actually got an official position and bought a house and moved to the south of the city. What made her even more worried was that her family always had this or that kind of thing going on. Although it was not a big deal, it was really a headache.
After spending some money and finding someone to solve the problem, other things happened within a few days. It seemed like those idlers who were looking for trouble had made a plan: you come this month and I come next month. It was so annoying.
This little matter was not worth going to the Huainan Marquis' Mansion for help. Although they guessed that it might be Meng Zhi's work, they could do nothing without evidence. Moreover, they heard that Meng Zhi was actually favored by Prince Cheng. Not only did he often take her out, he also allowed her to go to the Huainan Marquis' Mansion and even brought her to the palace several times.
Now, seeing Meng Zhi blatantly insulting Meng Juan, the clan leader's wife was worried again. Mrs. Liu had to watch her daughter suffer and couldn't say anything. What if Meng Zhi took the opportunity to target their family?
Wang didn't care at all about the humiliation suffered by Liu's daughter. In order to let Meng Wan use her as an excuse not to go back in the afternoon, she pretended to be weak and sat at the main table, which prompted Xie Fen to come forward and express Hu's concern for Wang.
Today is the day when the second wife's concubine's daughter is getting married. Liu and her daughter-in-law are busy, and Jiang is also busy with the preparations. Soon, the house becomes lively again.
Meng Zhi just drank the warm plum walnut honey quietly and didn't eat anything else. She didn't even look at the food the maid put on her plate, and she didn't even move her chopsticks.
He picked up the cup and took a sip with enjoyment, looking here and there, with a smile that was full of profound meaning that no one could understand.
"Second Miss, your eldest sister-in-law is really enthusiastic. She runs around everywhere. People who don't know would think that it is her younger sister-in-law who is getting married today. I'm afraid your second aunt has promised her some benefits. Haha, what a pity. I didn't come to see you and the fourth miss getting married. I don't know if the eldest young lady also helped in this way." After saying this, she covered her mouth and glanced at Jiang who was pouring wine for Song.
Sitting at the same table were Jiang's eldest and second sisters-in-law from her family. When they heard this, they frowned and were about to speak, but they heard a cry of "Ah!" and saw Meng Zhi standing up from the stool, shaking her skirt that was spilled with tea.
Meng Wan quickly stood up and asked, "Are you burned?"
Everyone gathered around at once, and Meng Zhi looked up and asked, "Who is it?"
Chuan'er stepped forward and knelt down, "It was my fault. I was afraid that the concubine would be thirsty after eating the walnut honey, so I wanted to pour her a cup of tea, but I didn't expect that my feet were not stable. Please punish me, Concubine."
Meng Zhi asked angrily, "Whose girl are you?"
Chuan'er said cautiously, "I am the second young lady's servant."
"I am your maid, and I am usually very careful and prudent. I am really sorry. Could you please do me a favor and go to the courtyard where I lived before I got married to change my clothes?"
"Since you are the second lady's maid, get up. I won't bother with you. Help me change clothes." After saying that, he stretched out his hand. Chuan'er quickly got up and left the table with Meng Zhi.
Meng Wan bowed to Song and said, "Grandma, I'll go take a look first."
"Hurry, go quickly." Song waved her hands repeatedly. No one knew what had happened. That girl was the maid brought back by Meng Wan. Logically, her help was not needed. Thinking about how Meng Zhi had just bullied Meng Juan, Song suspected that Meng Juan, who was sitting next to Meng Zhi, had done something. If that was the case, it was really petty.
Song thought so, and there were many other people who thought so too. After all, Meng Zhi had just humiliated Meng Juan without any mercy, and they all looked at Meng Juan with inquiring eyes.
Wang also stood up, coughed twice and said that she would go back and take a look to make sure nothing went wrong. Meng Wan supported Wang's arm and walked out together.
