Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 61 Mrs. Mei

After all, Gu Xicheng still had to take into account the public opinion outside... Some things were innocuous if they caused trouble in his own family, but if it got to the emperor's side, he wouldn't be able to end it.

Jiang's funeral was held as scheduled.

Lin Qiyuan, on behalf of the Lin family, came to express his condolences. Lin Miaofu was getting married and was not allowed to go out, so she asked Lin Qiyuan to tell her about the wedding.

The next day, Mrs. Mei sent someone to invite her to go to the Taoist temple to offer incense.

Lin Miaofu then remembered that Chen Jue had said before that Mrs. Mei wanted to see her, but later she didn't know what happened and left it alone.

Originally, she planned to ask Mrs. Mei to help transfer the jade plaque to Gu Zhao. Now, that's not necessary.

The Jiang family's carriage came to pick her up in person, and she got into an empty carriage, accompanied only by Xiaolian.

Wen Susu has returned, but she caught the cold in prison and is recovering from her injuries.

An elderly mother was waiting beside Lin Miaofu's carriage and called him Fang. Before he left the city gate, the carriage was moving slowly and she said slowly: "Madam is worried that you will feel uncomfortable riding in a carriage with them, so she A separate car has been arranged for you.”

Then he said with a bit of a smile: "Mrs. Tai's original words are that a few girls who don't know each other got together. I was afraid that you might think they were asking questions and were prejudiced against the Jiang family's girls. This Just separated."

Lin Miaofu didn't know how to reply for a moment, she was really confused.

It didn't sound like he was trying to push the envelope, but rather like he was really worried that she would feel uncomfortable, so he said this.

"Who is here today?"

"They are all young ladies of the same generation as the prince, and then there is the madam. Several ladies are not here in the capital, so they did not come."

Lin Miaofu murmured in her heart. If it hadn't been for the following sentence, it would have sounded a little bit arrogant.

"Originally, the Madam didn't want to bring a few young ladies with her, but they were clamoring to see the future cousin-in-law, so the Madam had no choice but to bring them along."

"Several older ladies have already married and have never come back. My brothers have to go to school, and the older ones have gone to war. Following the old lady are Miss Seven, Miss Ninth, Miss Twelve, Miss Thirteen, and more. Some were too young and were left at home.”

The Jiang family is a large family. They are not a noble family in the traditional sense. In addition, they are based on military merit and do not value direct concubines.

Regardless of whether he is a legitimate son or a concubine, he must go to the battlefield to experience.

The same goes for women, no matter they are concubines or concubines, they all need to learn boxing and kicking skills and be literate and sensible.

But despite this, the Jiang family is still not prosperous.

Most died on the battlefield.

After leaving the city, Fang's mother went to the carriage at the back and sat down.

Xiaolian was a little upset. She was worried that Mrs. Mei cared about the young lady's past and came here to cause trouble today.

Lin Miaofu was not worried about this.

After all, this marriage has been approved by the emperor, and even if the others are dissatisfied, there is no way to break it up.

Unless... Lin Miaofu suddenly died suddenly.

Moreover, based on Mrs. Mei's attitude towards Jiang's matter, Lin Miaofu felt that at least she was a very far-sighted person and would not do evil things to herself for such a thing.

When they arrived at Sanqing Temple, Lin Miaofu bowed to Mrs. Mei first and then was introduced to everyone.

Several young ladies from the Jiang family returned the gift in a very reserved manner. It was not clear whether they were dissatisfied with themselves, but they were mostly looking at her and curious. They only waited for the incense to be offered to Master Sanqing and their fast meal in the guest room before the main topic of the day began.

"I heard that you were the first to notice something was wrong."

Mrs. Mei had a string of rosary beads hanging on her mobile phone and was fiddling with them.

Lin Miaofu nodded and told Mrs. Mei what she had said to Chen Jue and the emperor.

"You are lying." Mrs. Mei said calmly: "You can only deceive other people with these words, but I know that this is not your truth."

"Why is Mrs. Mei so sure that what I said is false?"

Lin Miaofu felt a little panic in her heart, but it still didn't show on her face. Maybe the other party didn't realize the problem and was just trying to scare her.

Lin Miaofu looked at Mrs. Mei with a calm expression and said, "If you don't believe what I say, you can go and verify it."

"Those are the methods used by the government to investigate cases. I don't use those." Mrs. Mei smiled and said: "I don't mean any harm. If you don't tell the truth, you must have your own ideas. But, I want to know your purpose."

Your own purpose?
Lin Miaofu thought that she probably didn't want Gu Zhao to become the brutal and bloodthirsty person he was in his previous life.

However, she couldn't tell everyone what happened in her previous life, so she avoided the question and asked: "Mrs. Mei, I don't know what my purpose is. Rather, what will be the outcome of this matter if it develops now?" ?What would happen if I didn’t participate in advance?”

"If this continues, the Jiang and Gu families will definitely hate each other, but for Qianjun's sake, they will maintain the superficial harmony, and the family's hatred will only be directed against Gu Xicheng."

Mrs. Mei looked at Lin Miaofu with a stern look: "Is this what you want to see?"

"Then if I didn't ask the young Marquis to check, there are two outcomes. Mrs. Jiang doesn't know about it and lives in ignorance. Or the Duke is so ambitious that he still chooses to take action, but postpones it for a few days until he is more sure. Playing with everyone at the palm of your hand."

"If it's the first way, naturally everyone will be happy. But if it's the second way, when the Duke is more prepared and kills Mrs. Jiang without anyone noticing, the Crown Prince comes back for the funeral and doesn't notice anything... and then... As a result, the prince is captured, killed, or expelled from the Gu family, then can the Jiang family and the Gu family maintain a superficial peace?"

Lin Miaofu filled herself a cup of tea. The tea was full but not overflowing. She threw a fruit from the fruit plate into it, causing water to splash everywhere.

"Those things I said are just this fruit... The undercurrent of the Duke's Mansion is this cup of tea. What I did was just to let outsiders know that the things hidden in the Duke's Mansion can no longer be hidden. ”

"But if you hadn't told me, they wouldn't have revealed it, and my aunt wouldn't have died so early."

"Then it will be you who are deceived."

Lin Miaofu said lightly.

All truths have a heavy price to pay.

"Whether you believe it or not, my original intention was just to save people."

Mrs. Mei clapped her hands and said with a smile: "I see that you are not someone who harbors evil intentions. It seems that what I said is right. Well, you guys have lost, so bring the money."

"grandmother!"

Several little girls pouted, but the boss was not happy.

Lin Miaofu blinked, not understanding what it meant. I always felt that I had heard something wrong, but when I saw several girls taking money out of their pockets, I felt that I might have heard it right.

"Ah, do I have to give you a dividend?" Mrs. Mei winked at Lin Miaofu, looking a little playful.

She really has a cuteness that belies her age.
