Chapter 513: Meng Shanchuan and Jin Yulu (Part 2)
With her cousin's words, Mrs. Meng felt much more at ease.
"Go and invite the young master back and tell him that the young mistress made me faint." Madam Meng gave the order.
The maid nodded and hurried to find Meng Shanchuan.
Mr. Meng was invited back ahead of time.
"Why did it get so bad that we are getting divorced?" He was very confused.
Jin Yulu has been married for two months and she is still not pregnant. Why does her mistress want to send her away?
"Brother-in-law, I have to say that the daughter-in-law you picked is really no good. She is from a humble family and has no manners. Today she even contradicted us two elders. She didn't show any respect for us at all. It's really too much." Aunt Pan complained incessantly.
Mr. Meng frowned slightly: "Why did she confront you for no reason?"
He is not satisfied with his daughter-in-law.
I have to go out to work every day and never stay at home to take care of household chores.
But to be honest, the daughter-in-law did not treat the two elders as her own parents, but she was still respectful and polite to them.
So he couldn't believe that his daughter-in-law would suddenly go crazy and confront them, and he wanted to divorce her.
After Mr. Meng said this, Aunt Pan looked around and didn't say anything else.
After all, she was the one who found fault.
She pushed Madam Meng, who quickly explained, "My sister wanted to eat chicken soup, and we asked her to make it, but she refused. Instead, she insulted us and said she wanted a divorce. Tell me, which daughter-in-law would react so strongly to cooking for her elders like she does."
Mrs. Meng became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and began to wipe away her tears.
Mr. Meng was a little suspicious. Was it such a small matter that caused a divorce?
"Cousin, why don't you go back first. There are a lot of things going on at home, and I'm afraid I can't entertain you well. The chicken soup is ready, I'll have someone send it to your house." Old Master Meng glanced at his wife's cousin and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Aunt Pan's face turned red. She stood up and snorted, "Why do I need you to have a bowl of chicken soup? It's because Jin was disrespectful to her mother-in-law. I came to support my sister. Forget it, this is your family affair. I have no right to interfere."
After saying this, she left with her maid.
"Cousin, don't go yet." Mrs. Meng chased after her, trying to keep her.
But she saw her trusted maid running over in a hurry: "Madam, the young master is back."
Thinking of the lie she had told, Mrs. Meng quickly ran back to the room and lay down on the bed.
"Hurry, don't let Chuan'er find out that I was pretending to be dizzy."
She pulled the quilt over herself and pretended to be unconscious.
Mr. Meng standing by was stunned.
Madam was so good at pretending to faint, so was it true that she often fainted in front of him in the past to prevent him from going to the concubine's room? Or was it false?
Before he could ask, Meng Shanchuan's anxious voice came from outside.
"How is my mother?"
"Madam has fainted because of the young lady's anger." Madam Meng's trusted nanny, who worked closely with her, stepped forward, wiped her tears and complained.
"What did the doctor say?" Meng Shanchuan stepped forward and anxiously checked on his mother's condition.
"It's nothing serious. He just fainted due to anger." The nanny quickly held him back, fearing that he would discover the truth.
"That's good. Tell me, what happened?" Meng Shanchuan stared at the nanny and asked.
"Aunt Pan came today and wanted to drink chicken soup, so she asked the young lady to make a bowl. But the young lady said that Aunt and Madam were acting like elders and were using their official positions to pressure others, saying that they should call her "Sir." The nanny said something that was beneficial to them in a few words.
"The Madam was very angry and said that it was unreasonable. Just because she was an official, she could disobey her mother-in-law. The Young Madam said that she wanted a divorce. After the divorce, the Madam would no longer be her mother-in-law and she should call her "Mrs."
Mammy looked very angry.
Meng Shanchuan was somewhat skeptical about what she said.
He knew Yu Lu's personality. She had always longed for the warmth of home and would not easily say something like divorce.
It must be something her mother said that irritated her.
So he looked at his father beside him: "Dad, is that so?"
"I don't know. I just got here too, but what she said is pretty much the same as what your mother said before." Old Master Meng shook his head to indicate that he didn't know much either.
"What about my aunt? I have something to ask her." Meng Shanchuan wanted to find out the truth.
"Your wife is asking for a divorce, which is such a shameful thing. It's not appropriate for an outsider like her to be here. I'll let her go first." Old Master Meng waved his hands, feeling helpless.
"How can we let her go? This incident was caused by her. How can she leave before everything is explained clearly?" Meng Shanchuan suddenly became anxious.
"Young Master, I have already made it very clear. There is no need for Aunt Pan to say it again." The nanny replied.
"No, send someone to invite my aunt back for a confrontation. If she is really disrespectful, then I will apologize to her. If she disrespected my wife first, then she must also apologize to my wife." Meng Shanchuan's tone was firm.
Mrs. Meng, who was pretending to be unconscious on the bed, could no longer sit still after hearing this and suddenly sat up from the bed.
"You unfilial son, she made your mother faint and humiliated your aunt, and you still protect her like this?" Mrs. Meng covered her chest and gasped in anger at her son's words.
"Mom, did you hear everything? You're not dizzy?" Meng Shanchuan looked at her in surprise.
Madam Meng's face flushed red, and she said in annoyance, "I fainted and just woke up. You don't care about your mother, you only care about your wife, your wife."
"Why shouldn't I care about you? When I heard you fainted, I rushed back immediately." Meng Shanchuan also felt aggrieved.
"I just want to know the truth."
"The truth is that your wife disobeyed me, and she wanted to piss me off to death." Mrs. Meng was so angry that she clenched her fists and pounded the bed.
"Why am I so miserable? My only son doesn't like women, and now he's confronting me because of that woman."
"Madam, be careful with your words!"
"Mom! Don't talk nonsense."
Both Mr. Meng and Meng Shanchuan became anxious.
How could you say this in front of so many servants?
"I don't care. You can have a baby with her and kick her out of the house. Our Meng family can do without her, but you must have a child to carry on the family line. After that, I will not care about you anymore. You can find any man you want." Mrs. Meng was so angry that she spoke without thinking.
"So you like men?" Jin Yulu sneered outside the door.
When she learned that Meng Shanchuan had returned, she wanted to find him and resolve the matter quickly.
Unexpectedly, I heard such a big secret.
Meng Shanchuan was overwhelmed.
"It's not like that, Yu Lu, let me explain." He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Jin Yu Lu would come at this time.
"No need, let's get divorced. I won't tell anyone about your homosexuality. But if you cheat on your wife, I will definitely tell your next wife. You and I will no longer be husband and wife." Jin Yulu felt disgusted when she thought about the fact that he was a homosexual.
"No, I'm not into homosexuality at all. That's nonsense my mother said. When you and I were whispering in each other's ears at night, couldn't you realize how much I liked you?" Meng Shanchuan quickly followed.
But Jin Yulu, in a rage, walked faster than him and almost trotted away.
Meng Shanchuan wanted to cry but had no tears. He couldn't help but scream in his heart: Sir Qu, you have hurt me so much!!!
If Qu Fufeng hadn't given him such a bad idea, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
