The sturdy farmer's wife: the prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 205 Meng Changlu

Seeing that Meng Shouren was silent, Xue Yan'er looked at Sun Minglan and said.

"Sister, it's true that you are Xianggong's wife, but I, Xue Yan'er, have been married for so many years, and I have been raising Changlu as my daughter when my husband is gone. Isn’t it good for the Meng family to find a son-in-law who comes to visit and help the Meng family in the future? You can’t just pay the two maids of the Meng family for the sake of a son from southern Yunnan.”

Sun Minglan fell back in anger, she sneered.

"Spread branches and spread leaves to inherit the family, do you need a girl's film? I, Sun Minglan, gave birth to a son for Mr. Xianggong, and we, Changyu, are the heirs of the Meng family and the ones who will spread branches and leaves for the Meng family. What can that girl of yours do? Aside from paying some dowry, she can't do anything, and in the end it's a drag on the Meng family."

Hearing his son's wife arguing with the concubine, Meng Shouren slapped the table.

"Okay, what's the point of chattering? Go back to me. I'll think about this matter slowly. You two just take care of your own children. Don't make trouble for me."

As Meng Shouren said, he waved his hands and went back. Sun Minglan and Xue Yan'er gave each other a hostile look, then turned their heads and left.

As soon as Xue Yan'er came back to the house, she was so angry that she slammed the door and smashed things. Meng Changlu who was in the house heard the movement and hurriedly lifted the curtain and came out.

This Meng Changlu looks eighty percent similar to Meng Changshuang. Meng Changshuang has a gorgeous appearance and is the number one beauty in southern Yunnan, but not many people know about Meng Changlu. Compared with Meng Changshuang, Meng Changlu looks more delicate and has a tranquil temperament. , although they look similar, their personalities and temperaments are indeed worlds apart.

Generally speaking, this Meng Changlu has a different taste compared to Meng Changshuang, but she has a quiet temperament, so Diannan only knows that her sister Meng Changshuang is a beauty, but no one finds out that she is a hidden lily of the valley.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Did you quarrel with the aunt again?"

Xue Yan'er pouted.

"Hmph, that dead woman Sun Minglan, apart from having a son, what is she fighting with me for? Who doesn't know that your mother and I are spending money on the entire Meng family's food and clothing? If it wasn't for your grandfather helping out The business of the Meng family, is the Meng family still like this? She just has a son who is showing off in front of me, and if I make the old lady unhappy, I will cut off the monthly money for their yard. "

Meng Changlu gave Xue Yan'er the best of luck.

"Auntie, why are you so angry with her? Didn't she marry daddy earlier? In terms of birth, she can't compare to your mother. At any rate, our Xue family is a wealthy businessman. With half of our Xue family's contribution, our role in southern Yunnan is not much worse than that of the imperial merchants in the imperial court.

The aunt just speaks prestige, and she doesn't dare to do anything to her, so don't be angry. "

In private, Meng Changlu also called Xue Yan'er her mother. Although this was against the rules, Xue Yan'er was in charge of the Meng family's finances, so everyone turned a blind eye.

"Hmph, it's all your fault, that dead ghost father, who died without leaving me another son. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been oppressed by Sun Minglan all the time."

Meng Changlu covered her mouth and smiled.

"Mother, if you have another son, the head of the Meng family will become you. You see, God is always fair. Although I did not give my mother a son, I gave my mother a reliable and powerful person." Mommy, isn’t this pretty good too?”

After being coaxed by her daughter, Xue Yan'er finally became happy.

"You girl, you can really talk. You are really my mother's caring little padded jacket. Hey... Speaking of which, my mother and that bitch Sun Minglan quarreled because of you."

Meng Changlu was taken aback.

"Because of the daughter? Why is this?"

Xue Yan'er held her daughter's hand, looked her in the eyes, and said solemnly.

"It's not a matter of the Xie family. It is said that the eldest son in southern Yunnan is going to die. If you want Meng Changshuang to marry him, your grandfather and Sun Minglan are afraid that after Meng Changshuang marries, this son will die. So Sun Minglan said, I want you to marry me first." Side concubine, when the eldest son is well, then marry Meng Changshuang to be the main concubine. What they think is beautiful, and they don't think about your mother, I have already been used as a concubine for others. A concubine of a dying person, if this is the son, her family Meng Changshuang will marry in a beautiful way and grow up, and you will still dominate you. If the son dies, you will become a widow. What about the girl..."

Meng Changlu didn't listen to a word of what Xue Yaner said after that, the news that Xie Shaoting was going to die was all over her head.

Brother Shaoting, why are you about to die?I don't believe it, haven't you always been so high and mighty?Haven't you always been valiant and eclectic?Why is your celestial brilliance suddenly gone?Why don't you take a look at Chang Lu, and you are so cruel that you are about to die?

Different from Meng Changshuang's use of Xie Shaoting, Meng Changlu liked Xie Shaoting since she was a child. After learning that Meng Changshuang was accused of giving Xie Shaoting, Meng Changlu changed and became depressed. That's why people only knew The first daughter of the Meng family, Meng Changshuang, is the number one beauty in southern Yunnan, but she doesn't know why she has an equally beautiful younger sister.

Thinking of Xie Shaoting's death, Meng Changlu gritted his teeth.

"Mother, I think... I want to marry him or not. No matter what brother Shaoting becomes, I am willing to marry him. If he gets better, he will always be grateful to me if he knows that I saved him. After he dies, I will treat him as a widow for the rest of his life, adopt a son, and pass on incense for him."

Upon hearing this, Xue Yan'er grabbed Meng Changlu.

"What? Are you stupid? It's clear that your aunt and the others are using you as a pathfinder. Don't be fooled, you silly girl."

Meng Changlu shook his head.

"Mother, it's not like this. I like Brother Shaoting. I have liked Brother Shaoting since Meng Changshuang was not engaged to him. I am willing to die for him. You can call me stupid, but I am willing to marry you." To Brother Shaoting.

Mother, you didn't know that your father was going to die soon, but you still married your father without hesitation. You can marry the person you love because you like it. Why can't I? "

Xue Yan'er's expression froze, and she also remembered that she was desperate to marry into the Meng family as a concubine.

"However, your father was not a fool back then, and now the son is a fool. Are you willing to face a fool for the rest of your life?"

Meng Changlu nodded appreciatively.

"If he is stupid all his life, I will take care of him all his life. As long as I stay with brother Shaoting, I will be satisfied."
