Chapter 32 Will the Marriage Go Well?

As long as Meng Yanzhi keeps saying that she cares about the future of the Meng family, her father will definitely not sit idly by, and she will surely get some attention from him.

"Mother, what does Father mean? He has never treated me like this before! Why?" Meng Anxian looked at her mother pitifully. "And what did you see when you went out today? What's going on?"

Even now, Meng's mother still doesn't know what's going on. Listening to Meng Anxian's incessant chatter only gives her a headache. Her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she said irritably, "Can you please be quiet for a moment? What are you shouting about?"

"Mother, look at the state of things now, how can I sit still?"

"Mother, has Meng Yanzhi seduced the Crown Prince? Will my marriage to the Crown Prince still go ahead?"

Meng Anxian is now only concerned about her own marriage, not anything else.

She couldn't see her mother's headaches, nor could she see her father's worries; all she cared about was her own little affairs.

Meng's mother had never thought that Meng Anxian was so immature.

Looking at her like this now, Meng's mother didn't know what was wrong with her, but she suddenly thought of Meng Yanzhi's gentle and quiet appearance.

If Meng Yanzhi hadn't grown up in the countryside, perhaps she would have been the one more suited to be a young lady.

After all, they are the ones who share the same bloodline.

"That's enough, stop arguing."

"Xian'er, this marriage is not as simple as you think. If you really want this marriage, you have to listen to me. If you keep making trouble, even the King of Heaven can't help you."

After saying this, Meng's mother got up and walked towards her own courtyard.

Granny Liu quickly stepped forward and pressed Meng's mother's head, saying, "Madam, are you tired today?"

"It's really exhausting. Meng Yanzhi seems like a completely different person."

"When I look at her now, she feels like a complete stranger."

Mencius' mother took a deep breath and spoke with some melancholy.

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu burst out laughing: "Madam finds it unfamiliar, but I find it very familiar. Madam, have you forgotten? When you were her age, you were just like that. That cleverness of yours is exactly the same!"

Granny Liu was Meng Mu's wet nurse and had accompanied her since she was a child, so she knew everything about Meng Mu better than anyone else.

Mencius' mother's expression softened upon hearing this: "She does indeed resemble me in some ways."

"So, bloodlines are truly wondrous things. Although the eldest young lady grew up in the countryside, she is still your flesh and blood, and there's absolutely no difference." Granny Liu smiled gently, lightly rubbing Madam Meng's forehead. "Madam, the most important thing right now isn't the eldest young lady, but Concubine Chen in the back courtyard. Master is being far too kind to Concubine Chen right now. If this continues, I'm afraid she'll cause trouble!"

Mother Meng was already somewhat annoyed, but after hearing this, her face turned even uglier. She rolled her eyes and said irritably, "She's just someone who uses her looks to please others. I won't take her to heart. Master is just arguing with me. It's just a passing fancy. As long as we keep an eye on her belly, there won't be any trouble."

"Yes, I understand." Granny Liu immediately agreed and continued massaging Meng's mother.

After a long while, Meng's mother sighed, "Go and invite a few teachers back. Since they are my bloodline, they should be taken good care of."

"Yes! Okay, I'll go right away." Granny Liu was overjoyed.

From the day Meng Yanzhi returned, Granny Liu had always liked her very much. This was mainly because Meng Yanzhi looked so much like Meng's mother that it was easy to tell at a glance that she was Meng's mother's daughter.

However, Granny Liu was still just a servant and her words carried no weight. Now, she had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

Qinghe Courtyard.

When Meng Yanzhi woke up in the morning, she saw seven or eight people standing in the courtyard.

Granny Liu stepped forward, bowed to Meng Yanzhi, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Miss. These are all tutors that Madam has found for you. They are proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. You can study hard. Madam said that learning opportunities are hard to come by, so please cherish them. You should go to Madam's place in three days to report back."

"Yes, thank you, Mother, thank you, Granny Liu." Meng Yanzhi was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward, took off the plain silver hairpin from her hair, and stuffed it into Granny Liu's hand: "Thank you, Granny!"

Granny Liu felt a surge of relief, smiled, and turned to leave.

The teachers were all invited by Meng's mother, so they were all rigid and serious. This time, Meng Yanzhi couldn't sleep at all during class. As soon as she dozed off, she would be woken up with a slap!

In just one morning, Meng Yanzhi's back was already burning with pain.

Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Mingchu felt a pang of heartache: "Be gentle, Miss, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Meng Yanzhi smiled and then looked apologetically at her husband, "I will never dare to sleep like this again."

After a morning of eating, Meng Yanzhi was exhausted and hungry, so she ate an extra bowl of rice at lunchtime.

"Miss, why does this gentleman look so fierce?"

"Could it be intentional?"

Mingchu looked at Meng Yanzhi with a worried expression.

However, Meng Yanzhi didn't take it seriously. She just smiled and said, "It's a blessing that the master is strict. In the end, it's all my fault. I always get sleepy!"

As she spoke, Meng Yanzhi slumped onto the table and said sullenly, "Speaking of which, I really miss Mr. Zhang's classes now. He never hit anyone."

Upon hearing this, Mingchu immediately leaned closer, looking at her with a smile: "Miss, do you... do you like Mr. Zhang?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Meng Yanzhi pinched the tip of her nose and rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Mingchu then began to analyze very seriously: "Miss, I still think you should consider your marriage. Although Mr. Zhang is poor, he is very talented in literature and is also a staff member of the Crown Prince. He has a bright future!"

“Little girl, I think you want to marry Mr. Zhang, don’t you?” Meng Yanzhi smiled: “Mr. Zhang is not just a staff member, he will go much further in the future, he is not good enough for me.”

Meng Yanzhi had already experienced marriage in her previous life, and it was meaningless to her. Now, all Meng Yanzhi wanted was for the Meng family to go to hell!

As for anything else, she never even considered it; her kindness towards Zhang Xuanyun was merely to repay a debt of gratitude.
