Chapter 11 There is no need
Last time Jing Jing’s son was slapped by Yaoyao, and His Highness met Yaoyao in favor of her. As the eldest aunt, she was in charge of the inner house of Meng’s house, and after her husband returned to the house, she was ordered to do so. Be concerned about one or two.
Now that I have a deeper understanding, I realize how miserable Yaoyao’s life in the second room was in the past ten years.
Obviously she is the eldest daughter of the Meng family, but she is living a pitiful and deplorable life. Even the three or two months of silver she gives Yaoyao every month will be lost as soon as it passes through Wu's hands. Two taels.
No black-hearted businessman is so black!
After delving deeper into the matter, I realized that Meng Shisan had been treated harshly in the past ten years and suffered from serious and minor illnesses. However, he was able to grow up safely and live to his hair age. It is really true that Mr. Zeng has a spirit in heaven.
Shang and Mrs. Meng thought the same thing.
She also felt that Meng Shisan had been bullied by Wu's mother and daughter. The grievances and resentments she had accumulated over the years suddenly reached their peak, and then she poured them out regardless, causing the sisters to make trouble today. The big thing about fratricide is coming.
To say that Yaoyao was at fault, it cannot be entirely blamed on Yaoyao.
What's more, when she later asked the servants who were watching from near or far, they all said in unison that it was the second young lady who came to the garden to fight with the eldest lady in a menacing manner.
In short, Sister Jing made the first move, and Yaoyao fought back in self-defense.
So, after being bullied, suppressed, beaten and scolded for ten years, with a feeling of sadness, I no longer allowed myself to be beaten or scolded, and my heart was filled with anger.
Thinking like this, and thinking about the guilt of knowing that Wu’s treatment of Yaoyao was not good in the past, but choosing to turn a blind eye, the balance in Shang’s heart was unsurprisingly tilted towards Meng Shisan.
Besides, His Highness witnessed with his own eyes the whole process of Yaoyao stabbing Sister Jing with her hairpin. After that, he did not say a single bad word to Yaoyao, but followed her mother-in-law who took Yaoyao back to Changchun courtyard. After my mother, I also went to the upper room.
What His Highness can say to his mother-in-law, she doesn’t know.
After the incident, she was busy dealing with Jing Jie'er who was seriously injured and fainted, and Wu who was so frightened that she fainted. She also called for doctors and arranged for people to carefully carry the people back to their respective courtyards, and ordered everyone present to Everyone, please stop talking nonsense, keep your mouth shut, and stick to what you witnessed today. You are not allowed to discuss a single word, let alone pass a single sentence to others.
She will not be merciful to anyone who cannot control his mouth, whether he is a master or a servant.
Wait, it’s urgent.
I didn’t follow him to the upper room.
But judging from the subsequent punishment of Yaoyao by her mother-in-law, she felt that His Highness still favored Yaoyao this time.
Even mother-in-law.
Mr. Shang was so busy until sunset that she finally had time to sit down and drink a bowl of tea. Meng Zhidu, as usual, had not yet left the office. She also asked her father-in-law on the way back to Zehui Courtyard. He hasn't returned home yet.
Except for holidays, the father-in-law and husband are usually so busy. Not to mention returning home early, they rarely have time to go to the office on time.
She and her mother-in-law are also used to it.
Before this, she would not have asked.
But today is different. There is a big event in the house. I wonder if my husband will know about it before he leaves the office, just like last time.
"Where is the eldest son?" Shang was thinking, and then remembered the eldest son who also always accompanied the prince outside. The eldest son was also present today. Afterwards, the prince took Ji Kuan back to the East Palace, but the eldest son did not go with him.
"The eldest son has gone to the upper chamber and has not come out yet." Mother Cai looked back and looked outside. The lamps had already been lit in the corridor, and a whole row of lanterns was very bright. "The old slave asked the little maid to stand outside Changchun Courtyard. Watch, as soon as the eldest son comes out , and came back to report the news. "
Meng Renping saw Meng Shisan in the Buddhist hall. He did not blame him at all, not because of Li Shou's explanation, nor because of his brother's love for his sister, but because of him. I know there is nothing wrong with my eldest sister.
When you are bullied, you naturally have to resist. If you don't resist, will you be bullied to death?
No.
Just like when dealing with political opponents, His Highness has never been intolerant. As princelings, he and Ji Kuan have never shown mercy.
Meng Shisan had already had dinner, which was all vegetarian food, but surprisingly delicious. She ate with satisfaction, copying scriptures, and kneeling straight.
Perhaps for others, kneeling down to copy scriptures is punishment, but for her, it is a matter of ease and ease.
Meng Renping had been standing at the door of the Buddhist hall for a while, and the maid guarding the door was driven away by him. He stood quietly, staring at her back without saying a word.
"What do you want to say, brother?" Since he didn't want to speak, she would do it.
Meng Shisan suddenly spoke, softly, softly and crisply, making it difficult for Meng Renping to imagine the scene where she stabbed Sister Jing with a hairpin in the garden this morning.
"Admit your mistake to grandma, and this matter will be over." He said.
“After I have confessed my fault to my grandmother, do I have to confess my fault to my eldest aunt and Mr. Wu?” As she spoke, Meng Shisan was still kneeling upright, speaking in a gentle tone, as if she and he were talking. It's just an ordinary thing.
After all, she hurt someone, and it was her own sister. Meng Renping was about to say yes, when she heard her say again: "I am not wrong."
"If I am wrong, then in the past ten years, Wu and Meng How should I deal with the mistake Mei Mei made of harshly treating and bullying me?" The original owner suffered ten years of abuse and was filled with despair when she died. She could fight back on behalf of the original owner, but she could not forgive on his behalf.
"Grandma has already punished me. After a month passes, I can leave the Buddhist hall, return to my own Taichen Courtyard, and continue to live a small life where my father does not love my stepmother." Meng Shi San put away the last stroke, turned the page, changed to a piece of rice paper and copied down.
What her grandmother asked her to copy was the Diamond Sutra.
It just so happened that she had copied for a period of time before she came into the world, and she was very familiar with every stroke and every page.
I still remember that time when she was in her true form, with no relatives or friends in the world, no roof over her head, and no money. She heard that she could make money by copying scriptures for the temple, so she went there.
Fortunately, she has good handwriting.
The host only glanced at a small section of the scripture she copied, then handed her the entire Diamond Sutra and hired her to copy it.
After that, she made a living by copying scriptures and earned a lot of money, which sustained her for a long time in the world.
I never thought that I would copy it again now, using the same small regular script with hairpin flowers, and the same scriptures verbatim, but with different results. After copying, I would not make any money, it was just a punishment for her.
Meng Renpingyuan wanted to persuade Meng Shisan to lower his head for the time being and admit his mistake first so that the bloodshed would pass. But as soon as he heard her saying that his stepmother was bad because he didn't care about him, his words were like fish bones stuck in his throat. I can't say it or swallow it.
There was still silence behind her. Meng Shisan finally looked back and saw that Meng Renping had not yet stepped through the threshold, only standing at the door with a guilty look on his face. She smiled softly.
Turn back and continue copying: "Brother, please go back, I'm fine."
"Yaoyao..."
"In the past ten years, you have never paid attention to me. No matter how unfair I am, I have the power to protect myself now, so you don’t need to pay attention to me.”
