The legitimate daughter is reborn, her life is still with her
Chapter 221 Confronting the old lady
When Meng Rou was thinking about it, the maid bumped her arm to indicate that Meng Rou realized that Marquis Jing'an had already left the Ronghua Curie Room and was about to come over.
She straightened up in a hurry, and before she could say a greeting, she saw Marquis Jing'an glance at her coldly, and walked quickly past her with Zhou Jiaqing, who looked a little lost.
The anger and coldness in Marquis Jing'an's eyes made Meng Rou shudder. She froze in place for a long time, unable to move, and she even forgot about etiquette!
Although she is an aunt, she is also the only aunt in the house. The old lady cannot move, but she wants to send Marquis Jing'an out of the house!
When Meng Rou came to her senses, she turned back to look. In the huge mansion illuminated by the moonlight, nowhere could she see the figures of Marquis Jing'an and his party again!
Then she and the maid walked quickly into Ronghua Residence. The maid wanted to help Nanny Zhou up and asked her what was true, but she heard Meng Rou's "ah" and a scream echoed throughout Ronghua Residence.
"Nanny Zhou..." the maid said in shock.
Meng Rou walked a few steps, came to Mother Zhou, breathed, and said in surprise: "Mother Zhou is already dead!"
There was only one servant left in Ronghua Ju who was cooking, and he heard the noise in the house and rushed over.
Mrs. Zhou on the couch was still looking into the distance with a frightened expression, while Aunt Meng sat on a chair not far away with an uneasy expression on her face. Neither of them spoke.
After a long time, Aunt Meng took out a handful of broken silver from her sleeve and put it in the slave's hand, telling her to serve Mrs. Zhou well tonight. Suddenly she realized that it was unnecessary.
I don't know when there were several people standing in the Ronghua Residence. The leader, a tall and round nanny, stepped over first and "politely" invited the aunt and others out, saying that they would take care of the old lady from now on.
Needless to say, this is Marquis Jing'an's people!
"In that case, thank you all for your hard work." Aunt Meng reluctantly put on a smile, and left Ronghua Residence with the maids carrying Nanny Zhou who was also invited out.
When they returned to Yuehe Garden, a maid behind her stepped forward, looked at her aunt and asked cautiously, "Auntie, do you really want to do this?"
"It's true that they are the Marquis's people," another maid agreed, with a layer of panic flashing in her eyes, "Auntie, if you do this, you will obviously want us to go against the old lady."
"Go against the old lady?" Aunt Meng whispered, "How long does the old lady have now? I have offended my eldest brother, do I still have a choice?..."
"Auntie, what do you mean..." the two maids asked in unison with their eyes widened.
Aunt Meng lowered her head and said, "Close the courtyard door and let me think about it again..."
On the other side, Zhou Jiaqing, who returned to the room, sat at the table, letting Dongmei take off her jewelry and hair, and listened to Qiu Ju whispering.
He asked in a low voice, "Miss, Mr. Zhou will be thrown into a mass grave tomorrow. There are only a few hours left, but will Third Miss and Auntie agree to our doing this?"
"Of course." After Zhou Jiaqing came back and cleaned his face, he felt very sober at the moment. He played with the hairpin in his hand and wrote lightly, "The third sister is what Meng Rou values most. She has already seen the true nature of her second uncle. When she died, she wanted to leave. Even though she was a concubine, she only had the third sister left. However, no matter how filial Meng Rou was, Mrs. Zhou did not mention the future of her third sister. Why, it seems that only if the old lady dies, Meng Rou can make the decision in the Zhou Mansion!"
Xia He said: "Indeed, with the current situation of the Zhou family, only Aunt Meng, who is half a master, can serve her wholeheartedly. It is because of these feelings and on the grounds of filial piety that the third young lady's biological mother is raised as a step-mother." It won’t matter to the family. After all, the Zhou family is in such a state of decline that no one will care if the third lady becomes the legitimate lady, because the mother and daughter need this status. "
"What Aunt Meng doesn't know is that the old lady doesn't even care about the life or death of her grandson. How could she care about what happens to the mother and daughter in the future? If you look at it from this servant's perspective, the old lady is selfish and heartless, and she even wants them to be buried with them. It's impossible. But what if Aunt Meng tells us what happened tonight? "This is what Qiu Ju has been worried about.
"No, what will Meng Rou get if she tells it? Who will she tell it to? Will it only cause her father to treat her coldly? Even if the third sister is the old lady's only granddaughter, the old lady will not do it for the third sister. The younger sister planned it! The old lady only has his son in her eyes. If the third sister is a concubine, the old lady will risk her life to protect the bloodline left by her second uncle. Moreover, in the old lady's heart, the concubine is like a slave. Just because she was raised by a concubine, the most important thing she cares about is her identity. How could she have cared about her third sister before, let alone now? And Meng Rou has also guessed what the old lady is thinking these days, for the sake of Zhou Jiahua's future stains. If there is only one less person, Meng Rou will help her father hide this matter! After all... this is the best way at the moment!"
Chuntao thought for a while and said in surprise: "Miss, what you said makes sense, but after all, Aunt Meng's identity is not that good. In such a big mansion, she will be able to make the decision when the time comes?"
Xia He handed the warm tea to Zhou Jiaqing and then explained, "There is a precedent in Da'an City. The Zhang family was retaliated by the enemy, and Master Zhang's third aunt in the family fainted while pregnant and fell to the ground covered in blood. The person next to her was lucky enough to escape. Seeing that she was really pitiful, the head of the Zhang family suggested that the Zhang family should let Third Yiniang take charge. The head of the family spoke out, and the other branches also supported her. "
Zhou Jiaqing nodded and said, "Yes, the patriarch, the master, is not a meddlesome person. With the master and father expressing their opinions, the branches of the Zhou family have to weigh and weigh any ideas they want to make. The branches still have to rely on their father, so they will only obedience."
Chuntao suddenly realized, "After all, Aunt Meng still has a father who is a minister. She has not stepped out to stir up trouble. With the help of her mother's family, thinking about it this way, Aunt Meng will only be better than now, and her life will be extremely free." "
"That's not necessarily the case. Her husband Lord Zhou is a guilty person. Lord Zhou's son raises elite soldiers privately and is accused of wanting to rebel against his second wife. Aunt Meng will not be better off." Xia He shook his head.
Zhou Jiaqing continued Xia He's words and said: "Xia He is right, Meng Shangshu is not a fool. If he cares about his old relationship, he can at most give Meng Rou financial support, but he can get it secretly, let alone have any other dealings. Since the death of his second uncle, It can be seen in a few days. Besides, Meng Rou is a young woman, and it is difficult to guard such a big mansion! How can she live well without the separation of the family? Nearly twenty years have passed since this incident. What you don’t know is that the third aunt of the Zhang family was found suffocated to death in the house shortly after giving birth to her child. The child was also missing. When she was found , all traces inside the house were wiped clean, and the government took care of the matter. Until now, the mansion has changed owners several times. "
