Chapter 514: Meng Shanchuan and Jin Yulu (Part 3)
"Yu Lu, listen to my explanation."
In the end, Meng Shanchuan caught up with her.
He held the person in his arms.
"Let me go!" Jin Yulu wanted to push him away, but failed.
In a rage, she bit his arm.
"Meng Shanchuan, let me go."
"No." Meng Shanchuan snorted and explained quickly.
"Yulu, I only like you from the beginning to the end, and I don't like any man at all. It was Master Qu who gave me the idea. If you don't believe me, let's go to Master Qu and ask him for clarification now."
After hearing these words, Jin Yulu, who was in his arms, gradually calmed down.
"Think about it, the way I clung to you last night, didn't it look like I like men and not women?" Meng Shanchuan hugged her waist tightly and defended himself aggrievedly.
Thinking of Meng Shanchuan's bravery after marriage, Jin Yulu's face turned slightly red.
"What if you like both women and men?" she asked, pursing her lips.
"I can swear that if I like men, I will be struck by lightning and will never give birth to a son in my life." Meng Shanchuan hurriedly raised his hand to swear.
After raising his hand, he was afraid that Jin Yulu would run away, so he hurriedly put his hand down and hugged her again.
"My parents didn't want to accept you at first, so I went to ask Master Qu for advice and he told me to do this. Rather than liking a man, they would rather I marry a woman from a humble family."
Meng Shanchuan spoke about this in a low voice.
Jin Yulu finally understood why her in-laws had such different attitudes towards her.
She believed what Meng Shanchuan said.
After all, they had been married for two months, and he had been sticking to her every day, and he didn't have any special preference for any other man.
In addition, he mentioned Qu Fufeng. Mr. Qu never plays by the rules, so it is possible that he would give Meng Shanchuan such an idea.
After calming down, she gently pushed Meng Shanchuan and said, "Let me go."
"No, if I let you go, you'll be gone and I'll be left without a wife." Meng Shanchuan refused to let go no matter what.
Jin Yulu wanted to be angry and laugh at the same time. She said helplessly, "I won't leave. Let's talk this over. Do you already know what happened today?"
Seeing that she really didn't seem to be planning to leave, Meng Shanchuan tentatively let go of her hand.
Jin Yulu took the initiative to invite him into her room. The two of them sat down, drank tea face to face, and slowly talked things out.
"I heard from my mother that it was my aunt who wanted to drink soup and asked you to make it, but you refused, disobeyed them, and even said you wanted a divorce." Meng Shanchuan added hastily because he was afraid that she would be angry.
"I don't believe you are such a person. If you go back to confront my aunt, my mother will get angry. I want to know what happened. If my aunt bullied you, I will definitely not let you suffer in vain."
Meng Shanchuan held her hand tightly.
With his words, Jin Yulu felt much more comforted.
This at least proves that she did not marry the wrong person.
"That's not the case. It was Madam Pan who insisted that the young lady kill a chicken to make soup for her. Her tone showed disdain for the young lady's birth. She also said that the young lady had no one to raise her and no one to teach her." The little maid Zhenzhen stood up to speak up for her mistress.
"Is this really true?" Meng Shanchuan was also annoyed.
Which noble lady would kill chickens herself? That is the job of servants.
Letting his wife do this is a naked humiliation.
"Come on, I'll take you to ask for justice." Meng Shanchuan immediately pulled Jin Yulu out to go to the Pan family to ask for justice from his aunt.
Seeing him take the initiative to protect her, Jin Yulu felt warm in her heart, and her previous depression and anger disappeared instantly.
"You can't go. You are a junior. If you take the initiative to go to someone's house, it will give people something to talk about." Jin Yulu stopped him hurriedly.
"But she bullied you." Meng Shanchuan was very angry.
This was the wife he had finally married, and his aunt's interference almost made him a lonely man.
"So let your parents go and settle the score with her, and you shouldn't do it yourself." Jin Yulu gently stroked his back to comfort him.
"Besides, there are many ways to deal with Aunt Pan. It would be a bad idea for us to just go to her house and find her."
"Then what is the best strategy?" Meng Shanchuan asked humbly.
"In the officialdom, let's find more things for Uncle Pan to do. He knows we are targeting him and will definitely investigate what is going on. When he finds out that Aunt Pan is the culprit, Aunt Pan will have a hard time."
Jin Yulu smiled slightly.
It's not that she doesn't understand the struggles in the harem, it's just that she is too lazy to fight.
But now that she is being bullied, it is not in her character not to fight back.
For women in the harem, the favor of their husbands is the foundation of their survival.
If Aunt Pan lost the respect and love of Mr. Pan and lost face, she would never dare to come to show off her power and boss around and give orders to her nephew's wife.
"You're right. I'll listen to you." Meng Shanchuan's eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea.
It would make Aunt Pan feel uncomfortable without damaging the reputation of the couple.
"However, since your mother doesn't like me, why don't I move out?" Jin Yulu looked at him tentatively.
"It might not be appropriate for us to move out while our parents are still alive. But don't worry, I have my own way to ensure that mother won't cause you any trouble in the future." Meng Shanchuan looked at her with guilt.
"Yulu, thank you for your hard work. I am sorry for making you suffer."
"With your words, I won't feel tired anymore." Jin Yulu felt warm in her heart and took the initiative to hug his waist.
Compared to the warmth and warmth on their side, Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng had already had a complete quarrel.
"How can you say in front of so many people that your son has a habit of cutting off sleeves?" Mr. Meng was furious.
"I was just too angry." After calming down, Mrs. Meng felt a little regretful.
"They are all our servants anyway, so just ask them to shut up." She muttered softly.
"What about our daughter-in-law?" Mr. Meng asked sharply.
Mrs. Meng was suddenly speechless.
Jin Yulu was a court official, and they really couldn't make the same demands on her to shut up as they did on a servant, or even an ordinary daughter-in-law.
"We shouldn't have agreed to let Chuan'er marry her. What's so special about her being an orphan that's easy to control? I think she's really going to make a scene." Mrs. Meng couldn't help but complain.
"What's the point of saying all this now? You've already married her and the truth has been revealed. You should apologize and compensate her immediately and comfort her. Don't let her tell anyone about this." Mr. Meng stared at her angrily.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Meng looked at him in disbelief.
"I am her mother-in-law. How can a mother-in-law apologize to her daughter-in-law?"
"Then what do you say we should do? Let her tell this to others and ruin Chuan'er's life? Let our Meng family become a laughing stock? Stupid woman!" Old Master Meng became more and more angry as he spoke.
Meng Shanchuan and Jin Yulu outside the door heard this, looked at each other, and immediately changed their minds.
They knew how to manipulate their mother.
