Chapter 752: The Bride-to-be VS the Black-hearted Maid (5)

The news that Gu's mother was seriously ill and bedridden reached the Kang Mansion, and Kang's mother immediately called her beloved children.

"Mother, is there something urgent that you are in such a hurry? Or do you miss your daughter too much? It feels like a long time since you last saw her?" Shi Yi said as he sat down beside her and leaned on her affectionately.

Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. As the person who knew the original owner best, Kang's mother actually didn't want her daughter to marry into the Gu family. Because she knew that her daughter's personality was too "soft" and she couldn't handle big things. It would be better for her to marry down and be supported by the whole family, young and old, and live a life without worries. However, she was just a woman in the backyard and couldn't make such a decision.

"Your aunt is sick." Kang's mother patted her daughter's hand and asked the servants to serve the meal. Seeing that her daughter was a little dazed, she added, "I heard that she was angry with a maid named Meng Dong'er and had a headache." Don't underestimate this sentence. This little bit of news was obtained by her at a high price.

Her daughter has been attached to her since she was young. She has been with her for seventeen years, and she is not willing to get married, especially to the Gu family. However, a girl always has to get married and find someone to rely on.

"Meng Dong'er?"

"Yes. She is the personal maid next to your cousin. Now, she is locked up in the woodshed by your aunt. Your aunt should be thinking about how to deal with her." Kang's mother had seen Meng Dong'er several times before. She looked delicate and gentle, and she didn't have a good impression of her. Therefore, knowing that Gu's mother was so angry about such a maid, she didn't react unexpectedly.

"Has mother prepared something for me to visit my aunt at the Gu Mansion?" Shi Yi leaned his head on her shoulder, thinking that Gu Sanmeng's current situation must not be very good.

"This is just one of the reasons." Kang's mother helped her boneless daughter sit up, and said seriously, "You have to do one more thing this time. Go to the old lady and let Meng Dong'er out."

"Why?" Shi Yi asked out loud. Although her mother's idea coincided with her own, she was now a girl raised in seclusion. If she agreed directly, she would be suspected of being too scheming.

"Your cousin has always been cold to others, and it is rare for him to like such a maid. If your aunt gets rid of this maid, your cousin will inevitably feel resentful. In the future, when you enter the Gu family, it is hard to guarantee that it will not become a barrier between you and your wife. It is better for you to do a favor now. When you enter the family, your cousin will respect you more because of your kindness and generosity." Mother Kang sighed. How can her daughter live after getting married with such a simple personality!

She intended to let her daughter marry down, but her husband loved and respected his sister and did not let her interfere in this matter at all. She could only plan more for her daughter.

"Mother, I know." Shi Yi's face became solemn.

Gu Sanmeng and Meng Dong'er still haven't exchanged souls. If Gu Sanmeng is kept in the woodshed, there is no guarantee that there won't be any problems later. If Gu's mother gets angry and secretly sends someone to execute Gu Sanmeng, then the person she will marry in the future will be Meng Dong'er in Gu Sanmeng's skin. Thinking about it, it's even more terrifying. She was about to leave immediately.

Seeing this in Kang's mother's eyes, she felt even more distressed.

Her precious daughter, who hasn't even married yet, has to worry about her life after entering the house. Can such a marriage be a good marriage? !

Gu Mansion.

Old Lady Gu didn't expect Kang Shiyi to find her later, and it was still about Meng Dong'er's matter. She continued to weed, pretending not to care about this matter.

Shiyi said everything, but the old man didn't respond, which was a bit frustrated. At this time, the real Meng Dong'er also came.

"Grandma, please have mercy on your grandson." Meng Dong'er didn't even look at Miss Kang standing next to her, and knelt at the feet of the old lady.

Seeing that he was reluctant to give alms to his future wife standing beside him, the old lady got angry and threw a hoe in front of him.

Meng Dong'er was startled and stepped back on her knees. She did not forget to plead for her real self, "Grandma, please have mercy on your grandson. My grandson can't live without Meng Dong'er. Meng Dong'er has been with my grandson since she was a child. This friendship is incomparable to anyone else."

Her purpose was to anger Miss Kang. Miss Kang and the young master were childhood sweethearts, so Meng Dong'er's relationship with the young master was much closer than Miss Kang's. Moreover, the more "he" showed that he doted on "Meng Dong'er", the more the people of the Gu family would not dare to touch "Meng Dong'er". Later, she and the young master exchanged bodies, and no one in the Gu Mansion dared to touch her again.

"Your cousin is still standing here, and it is also for your beloved Meng Dong'er to plead for mercy. Aren't you ashamed!" The old lady wanted to kick this lustful grandson.

Normally, he had a close relationship with the maids around him, so she, as an elder, would not say anything. But this was in front of Miss Kang, and he was so shameless! If it got out, would their Gu family's reputation be ruined!

"Go back! Don't show up in front of me until Meng Dong'er's matter is resolved!" The old lady took Shi Yi's hand and left him here alone.

"Old lady, please fulfill my cousin's wish." Shi Yi knelt down with tears in his eyes.

If Meng Dong'er didn't want to fight a war of public opinion, she would have agreed.

She wanted to see if a generous and kind wife could be outdone by a maid who was at most a concubine.

"Shi Yi, why do you have to be like this." The old lady's temper became much calmer when she heard her voice. Although her grandson was really a mess, he was the only one in the Gu family. If he was really hurt, it would be hard for them, the old people.

"My cousin and I have been childhood sweethearts, and I have admired him since I was little. Now my cousin is kneeling in front of the old lady, how can I bear it. Please, old lady, let Meng Dong'er go." Shi Yi cried so hard that her eyes were wet with tears, and people did not feel sorry for her at all.

Meng Dong'er did not expect that she would plead for herself and cry so pitifully. She was stunned at first, but then she reacted and became more alert to her. She obviously wanted the young master to accept her kindness. After marrying into the family, she would be able to gain a lot of respect from the young master with such an incident.

The old lady took the handkerchief handed over by the nanny beside her and wiped her hands clean. Then she turned around and carefully wiped the dew on her face, and said with heartache: "What a sensible child. If your cousin could understand you a little, he would not do such a thing."

She originally doubted whether the daughter raised by the Kang family could be the future mistress of the Gu family, but now she has fewer doubts in her heart.

A mistress who is generous and capable of handling things is naturally more respected than a mistress who is only jealous.
