Entering the west room of Shanzhi Hall, which was Meng Wan's residence, Meng Qi looked around.
In the previous life, this was Wang’s banquet and rest room with a small study.
At that time, Wang was still the housekeeper, and she was very busy giving instructions here every day.
The overall layout remained unchanged, only the bed and dresser had been replaced. Meng Qi knew that after she adopted Meng Wan, Wang Shi wanted to find her another courtyard, but Meng Wan refused, saying she didn't want the hassle. Wang Shi also wanted her to live in Qinyuan, keeping Meng Qi company. Perhaps Meng Qi was overly sensitive to Meng Wan's presence at the time, so Meng Wan refused.
Later, the west room of Shanzhi Hall was chosen for Meng Wan to live temporarily, because not long after recognizing Meng Wan, she got engaged to the Prince Shen's Mansion, and there was less than a year left before the wedding, so it was appropriate for her to live here.
Therefore, Meng Wan did not deliberately add anything. He kept it simple and clean to make people feel comfortable.
Smelling the faint scent of jasmine, Meng Qi realized that the fragrant cakes in her room were the ones that Meng Wan had someone take away.
"I don't know if you like this scent or not, but the doctor said that since you have a head injury, a scent that is too stimulating won't help you keep your mind clear. I thought you wouldn't like the sandalwood that Mom has, so I decided to take some of the one I usually use. If you don't like it, just ask them to replace it."
Meng Qi shook her head, then nodded, "No need, I think it smells good, it makes me feel comfortable, and it does make my mind clearer."
Meng Wan looked at Meng Qi with a serious face, which was completely different from the coquettish and silly look she had just shown in Wang's east room. She sighed in her heart that this incident had made her sensible and she knew how to make Wang happy and not make her worry.
The two sisters sat down across the table from each other. There was a momentary silence in the room, and an awkward feeling in the air.
Meng Qi gently turned the cup in her hand, and after a long while, she said, "Can I have a private chat with my second sister?"
After seeing Meng Wan nod to him, Chuan'er took Yuandong out and closed the door.
"Thank you." Meng Qi said.
Meng Wan raised an eyebrow, "What aspect?"
"Marry Zhou Yu for me."
Meng Wan nodded. "You're welcome. This is the best outcome the two families can achieve."
"Are you volunteering?"
Meng Wan looked at Meng Qi's serious expression and nodded. "Yes, you don't have to feel burdened. We've discussed this before. Zhou Yu may be a monster to you, but to me, he's a soulmate."
"Mindshare? My dear?" Meng Qi raised her eyebrows.
Meng Wan hummed, "Do you have anything to ask me?"
Meng Qi stared at Meng Wan for a long time, then pursed her lips and said, "It's a lot. I wonder if Second Sister will tell me the truth?"
Meng Wan thought for a moment and said, "Reason? You've never spoken to me so formally before."
Meng Qi showed a self-deprecating expression, "If I say that I accidentally stimulated my brain when I fell on the ice last time and can't remember a lot of things, will you believe me, Second Sister?"
Meng Wan was stunned at first, then nodded, remembering the intermittent amnesia. If that was true, Meng Qi's abnormality would make sense.
"Letter, ask."
Meng Qi didn't expect Meng Wan to be so straightforward. She didn't ask any more questions, leaving her unable to explain the words she had been thinking about all morning.
"I want to know what happened to my second sister before she came into the West Mansion. Also, why did you come back to life?"
Meng Wan nodded. She never thought that Meng Qi would care about this. As a child who was raised with great love and care by Wang Shi, Meng Qi had never worried about anyone except herself.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have done such a stupid thing. To put it bluntly, it was all because of Wang's spoiling her and making her too willful.
She was the only one who could ask such a question today. Whether it was due to the ice falling or some other reason, it was a good thing for her. Especially since she was about to marry into the royal palace. If she were still that naive little girl, she would have to tell them she was clean even if her skin was peeled off.
Listening to Meng Wan recounting the past events in a leisurely manner, it felt like he was telling the story of another person.
(Again, please read "After Marrying in Place, I Was Forced into a Family Fight" first. I'm not forcing it on you, but that book is very detailed, and if I were to describe it again here, it would take up a lot of space.)
As a listener, Meng Qi's expression was actually richer than that of Meng Wan, the person involved.
"Who else knows about this?" Meng Qi asked excitedly.
Meng Wan smiled coldly and gently spread out his hands, "No one except the elders probably knows about this."
"Don't the eldest and third brothers know about this?"
Meng Wan nodded. "I think so. You know about my eldest brother's situation. Ever since he married my eldest sister-in-law, when has mother ever discussed important matters with him? Third brother won't be able to help, not to mention that if he knew the truth, what would happen if he impulsively acted irrationally with father?"
Meng Qi came to her senses at this time. She really didn't expect that her second sister actually had so many "inside stories".
It seems that, is it because I didn't bring her back to the Marquis' Mansion in my previous life, so the subsequent events did not happen?
The time I got on Hongzhe's carriage didn't cause my mother to have a heart attack, but it did plant a hidden danger in her, which led to my extreme behavior after I learned about my marriage. After my mother received that kick from my father and the stool he carried for me, she slowly...
Meng Qi closed her eyes. She deserved to die. In her previous life, she only lived in her own love affairs and had no understanding of her mother's hard work. So, this was how her second sister died. Even if her mother didn't know the truth in her previous life, how could she have endured the pain of losing her daughter?
