Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

"Xueyun doesn't dare," Meng Xueyun replied timidly.

"But Xueyun promises that he will treat Madam as his own mother. I beg Sister Yunshang to persuade Madam to give me a chance to be with her."

Seeing that Meng Yunshang was silent and seemed to be convinced, Cheng pulled her anxiously.

"Shang'er, listen to me. I only have you and Jinyou. It's enough for me. Others' children are just separated by a layer of belly. They can't be raised well. We don't need to bother with them."

In the past, she might have agreed with all her might for the sake of her daughter not being lonely.

But now all signs indicate that Meng Xueyun is not a person who is easy to deal with. Not only does she treat Huai'an harshly, but she also has inappropriate thoughts about the prince. How could she dare to take the initiative to bring him to her side?

If Meng Xueyun decides to replace Shang'er in the future, wouldn't she be the culprit?

Meng Yunshang smiled and responded, "Mom, I'm afraid I didn't hear clearly. Meng Xueyun just said that she is indeed Meng Lingkong's daughter, right?"

"Yes, Meng Xueyun said it herself. Not only did we hear it, but everyone present also heard it."

This statement attracted the guests to echo, "Yes, Meng Xueyun admitted it herself."

"We all know that Meng Xueyun is the daughter of Meng Lingkong, the cousin of Minister Meng."

"In that case, then mother, you ..."

Before Meng Yunshang finished speaking, someone said in surprise, "We finally found Meng Lingkong's daughter.

Everyone looked up and saw a man and woman in simple clothes standing at the entrance of the yard.

At this moment, he was looking at Meng Xueyun seriously.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Meng Xueyun felt her scalp tingling when she saw them staring at her, and she quickly asked them.

Unexpectedly, the two men walked towards her quickly.

He introduced in a loud voice, "We are from Xinyang. We have been neighbors with Meng Lingkong for many years, and our two families know each other well."

"Back then, Meng Lingkong made an engagement with us and promised to marry his daughter to my son. Since you are Meng Lingkong's daughter, we are the parents of your fiancé."

"Impossible. Why would Meng Lingkong arrange a marriage for me?"

Meng Xueyun's rebuttal came out without thinking, and everyone looked at her with meaningful eyes.

Meng Yunchuan glared at her, "He is your father, why can't he arrange a marriage for you?"

Meng Xueyun's only remaining rationality was shaken away by Meng Yunchuan's cold eyes.

After finally calming down, she looked the couple up and down with disdain and retorted harshly, "I have never heard of any child marriage! You must have been sent by Meng Yunshang to frame me. You have ulterior motives."

The honest couple didn't want to be misunderstood, so they took out a white jade pendant from their pockets.

Trembling, he defended himself, "Brother Meng used this jade pendant as evidence, saying that when we bring the jade pendant to your house, it will be the time for our daughter to get married."

Meng Xueyun stared at the jade pendant and shook her head frantically, "Impossible! You were hired by Meng Yunshang to frame me. This must be the case."

Even when being criticized in public, Meng Yunshang remained calm.

After taking a quick look, she asked Meng Yunchuan casually, "I wonder what Dad thinks about this?"

Meng Yunchuan was stunned by her harsh call of "Dad". Didn't he call him Minister Meng just now?

What is this plan?

"Since it is Brother Lingkong's relic, we must identify it carefully. However, he died young, and all his relatives and friends are in Xinyang. I will send someone to Xinyang right now..."

"It's definitely too late to send someone back to Xinyang now, but fortunately, Uncle Lingkong became famous at a young age, and many people in the clan know about his righteousness. Today is the old lady's birthday, and there must be relatives from the Meng family in Xinyang. Why don't we ask the relatives present to come out and help identify him?"

Cheng nodded in agreement, "Yes, please ask the clan members present to identify him. Master, didn't you tell me a few days ago that an elder from the clan would come and asked me to entertain him with the highest standards? Where is this elder?"

"..."Meng Yunchuan was in a dilemma because of what the mother and daughter said.

In order to give Meng Xueyun a chance to appear at the birthday party openly, he told Cheng that he would give her the highest level of hospitality.

Originally, he thought that as long as the reason he gave was appropriate, Cheng would not care too much even if he knew that the relative from Xinyang who came to celebrate the birthday was Xueyun.

I didn't expect it to be revealed here in advance.

Meng Yunshang noticed the annoyance on Meng Yunchuan's face and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, mother. The elders will definitely be here."

As if to confirm her words, several figures slowly approached the door, "Princess, you are right. How can the Xinyang Meng family remain indifferent to such a big event as the old lady's birthday?"

"Clan leader?!"

When Meng Yunchuan saw clearly that the person walking in front was the patriarch of the Meng family in Xinyang, he walked forward with surprise and joy.

But Patriarch Meng walked past him and saluted in front of Meng Yunshang and her son:

"I greet Princess Heng and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The young tribesmen following behind him knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed to Meng Yunshang and Huai'an.

"Chief and other brothers, please stand up quickly."

After Meng Yunshang finished speaking, Danqiu stepped forward and helped the clan leader up.

Patriarch Meng turned to look at Meng Yunchuan and Madam Meng, "It's Madam's birthday, and we had already made preparations to go to Beijing to celebrate, but before we left, we received a letter from the Shangshu Mansion asking us to cancel our trip. I am stupid and can't figure out the reason, so I went to Beijing to ask Master Meng in person."

"You received a letter cancelling your entry into the capital? Why?"

Cheng found something wrong and asked Meng Yunchuan immediately, "Why did the master lie to both sides?"

Meng Yunchuan was speechless.

After a brief thought, he decisively changed the subject, "I will explain the letter to the clan leader later. Now I need your help in identifying whether this jade pendant is really Brother Lingkong's old one."

Chief Meng looked at him disappointedly, "Have you thought it over? Do you really want to do it your own way?"

Meng Yunchuan was stunned. Before he could speak, he heard Meng Xueyun impatiently urging him, "Patriarch, quickly expose the ugly faces of the couple."

Patriarch Meng shook his head in disappointment, then took the jade pendant.

After some identification, he announced confidently, "This is the jade pendant that Lingkong loved the most back then."

Meng Xueyun denied it coldly, "Impossible!"

Chief Meng asked Meng Yunchuan directly, "Do you remember that one year when you went to the river to swim and nearly drowned, Lingkong who happened to pass by rescued you. He took off his clothes too hastily when he went into the water, and broke the jade pendant that he had been wearing."

"Afterwards, you felt guilty and used the pocket money you had saved for a long time to go to the shop and pick out a new jade pendant to return to Lingkong. Lingkong was extremely happy after receiving it and said that it was a testimony of your brotherly friendship and that he would pass the jade pendant down to the next generation as a family heirloom."

Following the clan leader's words, Meng Yunchuan actually found a lot of memories in his mind.

He looked at the jade pendant with a complicated expression.

The jade pendant is indeed Meng Lingkong's.

But Meng Lingkong never married until his death, and he was not the kind of person who spoke without thinking.

How come a baby marriage suddenly appeared?

Just when Meng Yunchuan was puzzled, the couple took the jade pendant back from the patriarch.

With a serious look, he asked, "Since you are sure that the jade pendant is real, then you should get engaged, right? My son has reached adulthood years ago and should have been married long ago."

Meng Xueyun collapsed and shouted, "No, this is all fake. I am not Meng Lingkong's daughter, and I don't want to marry into a poor and remote place."

"But you just swore that you were Meng Lingkong's daughter. Because your parents were dead, you wanted to be adopted by my mother and become the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion."

Different from Meng Xueyun's desperate roar, Meng Yunshang's voice was faint.

Only when she mentioned the word "extinction" did she look at Meng Yunchuan meaningfully.

He also deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "legitimate daughter".

Everyone present was a smart person, so how could they not understand what Meng Yunshang meant?

Meng Xueyun quickly became the subject of everyone's discussion.

Some people are curious whether Meng Xueyun is Meng Lingkong's daughter, while others are curious about the real reason why she was driven out of the palace by Meng Yunshang.
