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

The second wife laughed angrily, "You think you can just say you won't blame me?"

“That’s right! Princess Yangcheng is magnanimous and will definitely not hold it against me!” Meng Ruohua said to Song Tian with a carefree smile, “Next time Third Sister goes out with me, if you meet the princess, I’ll introduce you to her. You’ll definitely think the princess is approachable!”

If her grandfather were still alive, it wouldn't have been difficult for her to meet the princess at a banquet. However, Song Tian's grandfather passed away when she was still young, so she never experienced what it was like to be in the bustling Song family mansion, and naturally, she never had the chance to meet those noble people.

Hearing Meng Ruohua say she would introduce her to the princess, a glimmer of hope rose in her heart. If she could receive a few words of praise from the princess, it would certainly enhance her image. If Qin Man then criticized her, it would be tantamount to criticizing the princess for having poor taste. Just thinking about Qin Man's aggrieved appearance made her feel a little smug.

"Really? Then when you go out for fun, sister-in-law, you must take me with you!"

"Oh!" Meng Ruohua looked at the Second Madam in surprise, her eyes darting around as she stammered, "I'm afraid I can't take Third Sister out to meet people. Madam just told me not to go out!"

The second wife was so angry that her chest heaved. One moment she said she had offended the princess, and the next she said the princess didn't care. She rambled on and on, but couldn't explain what had actually happened.

Listening to Meng Ruohua's words, it seems that she is quite familiar with the princess. But how could she, the daughter of a military general, have a relationship with the princess?

Is this just bragging?

The second wife, worried that what she said might be true, couldn't scold her too harshly. She could only suppress her anger, slamming her hand on the table and letting out a long sigh to get their attention. "Meng, just tell me plainly, what did you do yesterday? Why did Princess Yangcheng send the Imperial Guards to question you, and why didn't the princess blame you?"

Meng Ruohua raised an eyebrow, finally showing some improvement.

Seeing the Second Madam's weak yet determined appearance, she felt much better and slowly began to speak: "Yesterday, I met Princess Yangcheng while offering incense. After entering the city, she asked the Imperial Guard to escort me back to my residence. I asked the Imperial Guard to convey that I would send a thank-you gift another day."

ah? That's it?

The second wife instantly deflated, sitting there sighing a few times, her sharp eyes scanning Meng Ruohua relentlessly.

That Meng family member is really infuriating!

If you had said that earlier, it would have been fine. Why are you so anxious?

At that moment, she really wanted to crack Meng Ruohua's head open and see how she could make such a simple thing sound so complicated!

Could it be that he's deliberately trying to annoy her and make her anxious?

The second wife scrutinized her, but Meng Ruohua remained calm and even smiled at her.

Was she deliberately trying to make herself anxious? But why would she do that?

I thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. I just felt that Meng was too infuriating, too infuriating!

The second wife secretly vowed that she would teach her a lesson when she got the chance!

Ignoring all that, upon hearing that she had encountered a princess while offering incense, Song Tian eagerly asked, "Sister-in-law, when are you going out again? You must take me with you!"

She didn't need to meet a princess, she just wanted to meet the Seventh Prince Wang.

"Third sister, you'll have to beg Mother. She just told me not to go out."

Song Tian ran to the Second Madam's side, shook her body vigorously, and said coquettishly, "Mother, please take back what you said and let my sister-in-law go out. I can also make more friends with important people if I go with her."

The second wife, who was already struggling to breathe, felt dizzy and lightheaded after being shaken. She pressed her temples with her fingers and repeatedly stopped her, saying, "Stop, stop, stop."

"How old are you? Still so careless! If you keep shaking her, your mother will faint!" The second madam pushed Song Tian aside, closed her eyes, and waved her hand dismissively, telling her to stand aside. "All you do is go out and play. You haven't even learned how to manage a household yet!"

Song Tian happily turned back to her seat and said nonchalantly, "What's so difficult about being a steward? If there are any disobedient ones who dare to deceive their master, just kick them out. I don't believe there's no way to deal with them!"

The second wife was speechless. She spoke so casually, asking, "Who will we use after we've kicked everyone out?" She genuinely felt that these two people were just there to annoy her; one was stammering and couldn't explain himself clearly, while the other was outspoken and dared to say anything!

Looking down at the two people chatting animatedly, completely oblivious to her, she felt even more suffocated.

"Alright, go back!" She then pointed at Song Tian, ​​"You stay here, have breakfast and learn how to manage the household affairs from me."

Meng Ruohua patted Song Tian's shoulder reassuringly and advised, "Sister, study hard. Don't be like your sister-in-law, who has nothing to do all day and is bored to death staying in the yard."

Listen to this: Didn't you turn down the housekeeping position yourself? Now you feel like you have nothing to do?

The second wife was stuck in a rut, unable to exhale or swallow, feeling extremely uncomfortable!

"Sister-in-law, I'll come find you to hang out when I'm free!" Song Tian replied with a sweet smile.

My sister-in-law not only has delicious food, but also beautiful jewelry; any one or two pieces of jewelry she owns are prettier than hers.

I angered my sister-in-law a while ago, and she stopped giving me jewelry. Now that she's more accommodating, I need to work on smoothing things over. Once she's less bothered, I'll definitely let her take whatever she wants, just like before!

Meng Ruohua strolled out leisurely, and greeted Tuanfu at the door, "Poor thing, what are you doing standing at the door in this cold weather? Go inside and warm up!"

Tuanfu thanked him, only saying, "It's not cold."

The second young mistress was definitely doing it on purpose. Originally, she could have sneaked into the house to warm up after she left, but because of what she said, she would have to stand there for half an hour until the second young mistress finished her meal and went to the front porch, so she wouldn't have to guard the door anymore!

Tuanfu was puzzled, not understanding how he had offended that person. None of the maids in the courtyard had ever seen the Second Young Mistress make things difficult for anyone, but every time she came, she would say a few words to her, her words carrying hidden meanings, which sounded awkward no matter how you listened to them.

Meng Ruohua was unaware of Tuanfu's doubts, and even if she had, she wouldn't have answered them for her.

She walked slowly, chatting with Yu Ye and Shan Hu behind her, "It will be December in another month. You two can choose some fabrics and make new clothes for everyone in Qingfeng Courtyard!"

It's a waste to leave so much fabric lying around; it won't be bright and shiny in a few years.

Coral was overjoyed and immediately agreed; her little savings were about to increase again.

Yu Ye pouted and said, "Giving you fabric is a waste, since you're not going to make any new clothes."

"Of course we'll make clothes for the New Year. The Second Young Mistress will be so happy to see them on New Year's Day." Coral tilted her head and asked, "Second Young Mistress, right?"

"Of course I'm happy!"

I'll be happy if my efforts weren't in vain!

"We'll invite Pearl over then. Her status is different now, so she should have some new clothes made for her."

Yu Ye was unhappy. Making her a concubine was already a favor, so why did she still have to take care of her from time to time?

Coral nudged Yu Ye with her elbow, blinked at her to keep quiet, and replied, "Okay, I'll go get her then."

Meng Ruohua caught a glimpse of the indignant Yu Ye out of the corner of her eye and gave Shanhu a wink, "Tell her about it!"

"okay."

Coral pulled Yu Ye along slowly, creating some distance between herself and Meng Ruohua, before quietly explaining.

By the time they reached the gate of Qingfeng Courtyard, Yu Ye's mood had changed, and she approached Meng Ruohua with a grin, saying, "Second Young Madam, you're amazing!"

Meng Ruohua tapped her forehead with her slender, pale fingertips. "You're only just realizing that now!"

"From now on, I'll do whatever you say obediently, I'll definitely listen!"

"Didn't you listen to me before?"

Yu Ye scratched the stray hairs on her forehead and chuckled, "That's true!"
