rich concubine

Chapter 697
There was a table of dishes, each with its own taste, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was quite good. The three men sat together drinking, and the sisters-in-law would talk for a while. It wasn't necessarily very lively, but at least it wasn't cold.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. The food was already cold after this meal, and their faces were already flushed before they finished drinking the wine. The woman's family didn't encourage them to drink, so they just let them.

The uncle was alone, so it didn't matter if he got drunk. The eldest lady glanced at Jiang Shunxiao and the second uncle. She didn't know what to say, so she had to say to the eldest princess beside her: "It's better to persuade the second uncle and Xiao'er to drink more wine." We all work in the court, and we still have to go to court every day. If we get drunk tonight, how will we do our work tomorrow?"

Meng Simin glanced at the father and son, and said calmly: "They are happy today. I won't say such disgusting words, let them drink, their drinking capacity is not bad, and they won't be able to go to court tomorrow." It’s delaying things.”

Having said that, it was hard for the eldest lady to say anything. Speaking of which, they were still drinking with her husband. It was really inappropriate for her to persuade her. She looked at the eldest princess again and sighed slightly in her heart. She couldn't help but do it. Comparatively, if Ah Qiu was here, how could he allow his second uncle to drink like this? The harmonious and perfect relationship between the couple and the current one is really worse than the current one.

She looked at Jiang Shunxiao again and whispered: "Looking at how drunk he is, I'm afraid he's going to get drunk. Why don't we ask Mrs. Fu to come over and wait for someone."

Meng Simin glanced at her but didn't say anything. She waved her hand and asked the people behind her to tell Fu Rongyi.

Now that the conversation had begun, the eldest lady said: "Speaking of which, I saw that lady for the first time today, and she seemed to be honest. I heard that she was a maid, and she was also a dowry maid. In front of me was Miss Qin. I was diagnosed with pregnancy when my body was still cold, and I was worried that it would be a disaster, but now it seems that it is not as outrageous as the rumors said."

After saying that, she looked at the eldest princess and asked, "Your Highness should know the aunts in this mansion very well. I wonder if Your Highness still likes that lady?"

Meng Simin's expression was calm. She smiled slightly and said, "I know all about the aunts in the prince's backyard. The ones in the Zhaoyi Courtyard are not under my control. My sister-in-law asked the wrong person."

The eldest lady was silent. Naturally, she would not be stupid enough to ask, "You are the princess of the prince's palace and the eldest princess and mistress. How can you not control anything?"

Knowing their feelings, he felt hurt when he asked this question, so he said: "Nowadays, children are older and have their own ideas. If the elders ask more questions, they will be annoyed. The same is true for my children. , the bigger it is, the less it looks like.”

Meng Simin smiled slightly and thought to herself, she just didn't say it: Especially this stepmother, it is not easy to discipline children.

"I envy my sister-in-law's family. The population of my sister-in-law's family is simple, and their relationships are not complicated. I think Shunming who came here today is very quiet and obedient. I guess I don't need to worry about my sister-in-law much on weekdays, right?"

The eldest lady's eyes flashed, thinking of the child, she sighed in her heart, but she said: "He is a very sensible child. Sometimes being sensible makes people feel sad. I think about my children who are making all kinds of troubles at this time. , but he is indeed rare and well-behaved. Such a big child has already had his own ideas. Although I am not his biological mother, he respects me very much. This alone makes me feel happy."
