Chapter 60 Good Stepmother
Duke Cheng was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized to the old Duke, "My son was wrong, and his words were speechless."
The old Duke snorted and ignored him, and said to Meng Cimo, "Go back to Zhuangzi. We will handle the matters here."
He saw Meng Cimo dizzy with anger and his eyes flashed twice. He was afraid that others would find out the clues, so he hurriedly drove him away...
Meng Cimo's narrative was incomplete, and I was embarrassed to say it in many places, but Jiang Yixi was smart, and after some brainstorming, he consciously figured out the whole story.
After hearing about this unsuccessful "catch-rape" case, Jiang Yixi felt like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.
In the previous life, they must have drugged Meng Cimo like this. Meng Cimo had always been wary of Mrs. Meng, and the outer study room where she lived was strictly guarded. Several boys and girls absolutely trusted her. Therefore, it was impossible to drug her on his territory.
Then, he must have been invited to the main courtyard. If the Duke of Guo did not say anything, he would not go. Even if he went, if the Duke of Guo was not there, he would leave immediately.
Meng Cimo was so vigilant because of Duke Cheng.
Mrs. Meng set up Meng Cimo. I don’t know if Cheng Guogong was really unknowing and was being used, or if he was a participant.
The saddest thing for people is often when they are hurt by their loved ones.
As for my stupid self, how could I not be plotted by the bad guys when the people around me have betrayed me without even realizing it?
Fortunately, she never tried to catch up with Meng Ciyu again in this life. Mrs. Meng designed the drama again to bring Meng Cimo and Bai Ziwei together. But Meng Cimo's eyesight improved and she saw through their conspiracy.
.In this way, Meng Cimo will be more wary of Mrs. Meng, and it will also aggravate the old Duke's suspicion of her.
Jiang Yixi said, "Grandfather Meng just doubted Mrs. Meng, and the old lady and Duke Cheng absolutely trusted Mrs. Meng. The final result must be that in front of the elders, everything was Bai Ziwei's fault, and Mrs. Meng didn't know about it. In order to
Mrs. Meng's face will suppress what Bai Ziwei did.
"The external rhetoric is that the person who tried to seduce you is just a girl. You can't admit your mistake with your eyesight. Maybe they will blame you for Bai Ziwei's excuse for leaving the house, because you were blind and ruined her reputation.
Mrs. Meng did everything for you, so she had no choice but to send her out of the house."
Meng Cimo also knew this was the result. In the past, whenever he confronted Mr. Fu, it was all his fault because he had too many thoughts. Mr. Fu, on the other hand, was forbearing and would rather wrong himself for the sake of his stepson. However, this time, he laid a secret for his grandfather.
It's always good to get rid of the seeds of doubt.
He let out a long sigh and said, "Miss Jiang, I really hope my eyes will be healed tomorrow. I have too many things to do... I suspect that Fu's targeting of me is not only targeting me, but also targeting the title.
But there are people behind her who are targeting bigger things..."
"You mean the third prince, Prince Ping?"
As soon as Jiang Yixi asked, she felt that she had made a mistake. She quickly smiled awkwardly and said, "If Brother Meng is in trouble, just pretend that I didn't ask."
Meng Cimo pondered for a moment and then brought up another topic.
"As soon as I went to the border to fight, Mrs. Fu instigated my grandmother to arrange a marriage for me with Mr. Wang's fourth girl. Wang Shilang was an official in the Ministry of Rites, and it was I who joined the Beijing official after I left the capital. It is said that the official reputation is good and upright. But I
I absolutely believe that there is something wrong with Miss Wang Si, because the good girl Fu will not marry me. She is also thinking that she will find a way to cancel the engagement after I return to Beijing.
"Later, I injured my eyes and voluntarily broke off the engagement, and the Wang family accepted it half-heartedly. After that, Mrs. Fu tried to tell me about Bai Ziwei several times, but I didn't agree. Fortunately, my grandfather supported me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to turn down this marriage at all.
…
"Ms. Fu is very good at acting. She is a good daughter-in-law, a good mother, a good stepmother, and a good woman. She interprets so many identities to the extreme. In the eyes of my family, she is so good. Especially my father, he only sees her.
No one should have any doubts about her."
Meng Cimo blushed a little, feeling that it was not good for him to comment on female elders like this. If outsiders heard it, he would be criticized. But he endured it for too long, held it in for too long, and couldn't say many things in front of Jiang Yixi.
"I'm not thinking too much, and I'm not maliciously speculating on her..."
Jiang Yixi wanted to say, I know that Mrs. Meng is such a person, even more vicious than you said.
But he said, "Brother Meng is wise. I believe in your feelings and your words."
Meng Cimo looked at Jiang Yixi. The girl in front of her was beautiful, gentle, and intelligent. She looked at him with concern in her eyes. She cured her eye disease. Her father lost his life to save her. She always understood him so well.
,Think what you want...
Meng Cimo's heart felt itchy, as if a gentle breeze had blown in, and his tense body and mind were relieved. There are people in this world who understand him, people who only plan for him wholeheartedly.
He couldn't help but open his heart that had been closed and said softly, "When I was a child, my sister's wet nurse quietly told me that when my mother was eight months pregnant with me, my father accidentally saved a woman who was going to offer incense in the temple in the suburbs.
Mrs. Fu, why did they look at each other and met several times in private? A woman even deliberately told my mother about this, and my mother was extremely angry. My father was not interested in girls, but in officials.
Miss, you are of higher birth than my mother..."
At that time, Duke Meng was fighting outside, and Mrs. Meng was not in good health. Mrs. Qu did not dare to bother her with this matter, so she got angry with Meng Daoming, who was the crown prince at the time, and gave birth to the child in advance. She also died of heavy bleeding.
.
A year later, Mrs. Fu married into the Meng family. Mrs. Fu was charming, gentle and docile, and much more likable than Mrs. Qu, who was simple, arrogant and overly charming. She treated Meng Yue and Meng Cimo very well, and even talked to Meng Daoming.
I promised that the two children are too young and I will wait until they are a few years older before having children of my own...
It is true that Fu became pregnant when Meng Yue turned six and Meng Cimo turned four. She gave birth to Meng Ciyu and Meng Hua successively.
Meng Daoming was greatly moved by this, and Mrs. Meng was extremely satisfied. At the same time, Mrs. Fu also became a good stepmother praised in the capital. Even the Queen Mother praised her and asked all stepwives to learn from Meng Daoming's daughter-in-law Fu.
Meng Daoming and Mrs. Meng warned the Meng Cimo siblings more than once that their biological mother was nothing more than that and they should be filial to her.
However, the people left behind by the Qu family were slowly cleaned up, and there was only one Nanny Lin left, who was Meng Yue's nanny. Maybe Nanny Lin was smooth in dealing with things, or maybe Fu didn't dare to clean up too much at once, so she had to
Leave one person to show off.
When Meng Cimo was seven years old, he climbed a tree to retrieve bird eggs and failed to go to school on time. After receiving a ruler from his husband and a beating from his father, Nanny Lin quietly pulled him aside and told him some past events while crying.
Let him know in his heart that Mr. Fu is a sweet-mouthed person, and he should not listen to the instigation of the people around him. Those people are deliberately trying to bring him down. The words of his grandfather, grandmother, second uncle, and sir are really for his own good, and he must obey them.
