My wife wants a divorce; if she ruins my life, I'll leave.

When Meng's mother suggested taking the invitation from the General's Mansion to invite a skilled gynecologist to help her recover, Meng Ruohua quickly waved her hand and refused, saying, "I'm perfectly healthy, I don't need any treatment."

"You've been married for three years, and there's still no sign of a baby."

"No, no!"

When Mencius' mother saw her son's nonchalant attitude, she immediately became angry. "Without a son, who will you rely on in the future?"

"Who can I rely on? I can rely on myself!" She turned to look at Meng Sixiu, who was eating snacks. "And my good nephew, would he just stand by and watch his aunt be bullied?"

Once she gets a divorce and lives alone, as long as the Meng family doesn't fall, no one will dare to bully her. Even if she doesn't get a divorce, if she gives birth to a son or daughter for the Song family, she will end up in the same situation as in her previous life if the Meng family falls one day.

Why bother!

Meng Sixiu nodded hurriedly, "Whoever dares to bully Auntie, I'll put a sack over their head!" Before he could finish speaking, Fang Ling covered his mouth.

Little darling, how can your grandmother hear you saying that?

Since Fang Ling married into the family, only she and her two daughters have lived in the household for many years. They were very familiar with the stories of their husband and Meng Ruohua when they were young. Among them, beating people with sacks was a common method used by the siblings, which was also the behavior that angered their mother the most.

Because every time they beat someone up, the mother-in-law would bring gifts to apologize!

It's because they beat up people who are respectable and influential.

"It must have been you who taught her!" Meng's mother angrily pointed at Meng Ruohua's forehead and questioned her.

"These words really weren't taught to me by my younger sister!" Fang Ling peeked and saw that she was winking at her while avoiding Meng's mother.

Sister, even though you took the blame for me, how could your mother-in-law not see your open and aboveboard winking?

Fang Ling picked up Meng Sixiu, who was stuffing snacks into his mouth, and said, "You've become a little fatso and you're still eating. Come on, let's go outside and study!"

Meng Sixiu kicked his thick calves in protest, "I won't recite books, I want to learn martial arts, and I'll beat up anyone who bullies Auntie from now on!"

"Little darling, stop talking!" Fang Ling quickened her pace, and after stepping out the door, she turned her head and saw her mother-in-law sighing helplessly, "Go play, what are you going to do memorizing books at only four years old?"

Didn't you say that children should start learning at three and be able to read the Three Hundred and Thousand Character Classic by four?

Fang Ling nodded and walked away quickly, away from the battlefield, letting her younger sister bear her mother-in-law's nagging on her own!

In the past, when Meng Ruohua did not return to the mansion, Meng's mother could not find an opportunity to nag. Every day, besides playing with her grandson, she would read, practice calligraphy and painting, which was completely unlike the female relatives of a military general.

Having finally caught the man, Mencius' mother lived up to expectations, talking for more than half an hour before reluctantly taking a sip of tea to soothe her throat.

Meng Ruohua stood up and stretched her stiff legs, suggesting, "Mom, if you're bored at home, go chat with Aunt Zhuang and Aunt Wang."

Three women make a drama, but three women worrying about their children can put on two dramas.

"How could I possibly chat with someone like that? Do they all have a daughter as disobedient as you?"

Meng Ruohua disagreed, turning her head to argue, "What are you embarrassed about? Their Li Furong is even more disobedient than me."

Aunt Zhuang is Li Furong's mother-in-law, and Aunt Wang is Li Furong's biological mother. Everyone who mentions Li Furong gets a headache.

"What's wrong with Furong? Her child is already a year and a half old, look at you!"

Okay, we've come full circle. I shouldn't have made that suggestion!

As the sun moved westward, the setting sun cast long shadows of the trees.

Meng Ruohua interrupted her mother, "Mother, it's getting late, I'm leaving!"

"Go away, go away, seeing you annoys me."

Tsk tsk, you only stayed for half a day and already found me annoying. What will you do if we get divorced?

Meng Ruohua didn't mind. She asked someone to tell Fang Ling, and after Fang Ling arrived with Meng Sixiu, she took her leave and left the mansion.

Upon arriving at the gate of the Song residence, they happened to run into Song Chang and Song Chen'an, who were leaving their official duties.

After exchanging greetings, Meng Ruohua headed towards the inner courtyard, while Song Chang called Song Chen'an away.

After visiting the Second Madam at Rongxi Courtyard, I returned to Qingfeng Courtyard.

As she changed her clothes, she listened to Lin Mama's grumbling: "This old servant has no choice. Your brother-in-law is not well. He gets sick as soon as it gets cold, and there is no one in the family who cares about his health."

Meng Ruohua comforted her, "Nanny, just go home. You don't need to worry about the manor. How could I not provide for the people in the courtyard? Just focus on taking care of your brother's illness. Come back when you're fully recovered."

She was telling the truth. Since being reborn, she had a particularly complicated relationship with Lin's mother. It was true that Lin's mother had betrayed her in her previous life, and it was also true that Lin's mother had taken care of her since she was a child. To put it bluntly, she had spent more time with Lin's mother than with her own mother.

Now that she's grown up, she's less dependent on her mother, but she still has feelings for her.

But that brother was spoiled rotten and got into gambling, which was a bottomless pit!

She genuinely advised, "The wet nurse can go home and take good care of her family. She will still receive her monthly salary. You can come and visit when you have time."

Upon hearing Meng Ruohua's promise, Lin's mother felt much more at ease and happily agreed.

What she cares about most is her monthly allowance; without it, her whole family would starve.

Before leaving, Meng Ruohua gave her another five taels of silver and found some nourishing medicinal herbs for her to take home.

Lin's mother left, thanking Meng Ruohua profusely, clutching the fabric Meng Ruohua had given her to her chest, which made the little maids in the courtyard extremely envious.

Yu Ye entered the room and said with a smile, "I don't think Madam Lin is going home to take care of the sick. Instead, she seems to be showing off how important she is in the household."

Meng Ruohua sipped her tea, leisurely flipping through a storybook, "How much I value her!"

She valued it highly; every time she went out, she would leave me in the yard to keep an eye on her.

It seems that Yu Ye hasn't left the house even once in the past two or three months!

She also wants to go out and see the scenery, okay? Unfortunately, the second young mistress always says that she is more suited to guarding the house.

Now that Lin's mother is gone, will she be able to take me with her next time she goes out?

Yu Ye's eyes shone as brightly as the sun in the sky, making Meng Ruohua feel extremely uncomfortable.

She glanced at it casually and guessed what Yu Ye meant, so she... turned around and used the storybook to block Yu Ye's burning gaze.

There will be plenty of opportunities to go out in the future!

During dinner, Song Chen'an entered Qingfeng Courtyard.

He came but didn't say anything else, just chatted with her.

Meng Ruohua asked, puzzled, "What brings you here today?"

"Can't I come if there's nothing wrong?" Song Chen'an retorted irritably.

This is the Song residence; where can't he go? Does Madam Meng look down on him for coming to Qingfeng Courtyard?

Meng Ruohua's lips curled down slightly; she really didn't want you to come.

Since he wouldn't say anything, Meng Ruohua didn't ask anymore. Let's see who can't hold back first!

Song Chen'an hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Next month is Minister Wang's birthday. Would you like to attend the banquet?"

She thought for a moment and understood. Minister Wang was the Minister of Personnel, in charge of the promotion of all officials, so naturally there were many people who wanted to get in.

However, his family's social standing was not something that ordinary people could attain; at least Song Chang and Song Chen'an were not among those invited.

So Song Chang and Song Chen'an were discussing this matter?

"Really? I didn't receive the post."
