Chapter 29 My wife doesn't want him
Guan Yi'an had many opportunities to speak up or plead for leniency, but he remained aloof and stood aside, calmer and more composed than anyone else present.
Now that he wants to sever his father-daughter relationship with Meng Huanyan, Guan Yi'an is anxious and tells him not to be impulsive or angry.
Why didn't that bastard try to stop him when he was at his most impulsive and angry?
Ever since he proposed marriage, everything in the family has gone wrong. If it weren't for him, would Meng Lingge have had to break off the engagement on her wedding day? And how could Meng Huanyan have caused such a huge disaster?
He had every reason to suspect that today's events might have been orchestrated by him at the behest of Meng Huanyan.
I really misjudged him before; this scoundrel may be learned, but he has no morals.
It's best to stay away from someone who wavers between his two daughters and turns his home into chaos.
Along with his hopeless illegitimate daughter, he should get as far away as possible.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Guan Yi'an was taken aback, seemingly unable to believe that Meng Xingyuan would be so cold to him.
Three days ago, when his affair with Meng Huanyan was discovered, Meng Xingyuan was still willing to speak up for him. Now, however, he looks at him with disgust, as if he were something filthy.
He realized that his performance that day had greatly disappointed his father-in-law.
He was too hasty just now, and his untimely advice not only failed to change Meng Xingyuan's mind, but also made Meng Xingyuan angry with him.
Guan Yi'an lowered his head in shame, wanting to explain further: "Father-in-law..."
"see a visitor out!"
Meng Xingyuan didn't want to listen anymore. With a wave of his arm, the steward led the guards to Guan Yi'an and said, "Young Master Guan, please. Don't make things difficult for us."
Guan Yi'an blushed deeply, feeling extremely humiliated.
Aunt Lu wiped away her tears and advised, "The master is in a bad mood right now. It's better if you leave first. Take Huanyan back with you. I'll come to see you when I have time..."
She knew Meng Huanyan had made a grave mistake, and she was content that she had saved her daughter's life. Her daughter had always been proud and arrogant, but now that she had stumbled and learned a lesson, it might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Guan Yi'an remained silent and slowly walked up to Meng Huanyan, who angrily turned her head to the other side.
Guan Yi'an knew she was angry, so he didn't say anything more. He squatted down, gently picked up Meng Huanyan, and walked out with a grim expression.
Meng Xingyuan took off his outer garment and draped it over Aunt Lu's shoulders.
"I'll take you back and apply the medicine for you."
As soon as Meng Xingyuan and Aunt Lu left, the stewards and guards dispersed, leaving only Du Shiyin, Meng Lingge, Wen Zhiming, and Meng Qingyu.
"Mother, you and eldest sister have been so frightened, and Father isn't with you, but instead went to comfort Aunt Lu first. He's really foolish," Meng Qingyu said indignantly.
Meng Lingge smiled and said, "Father has always valued family ties. He must be feeling terrible today because he has severed his father-daughter relationship with Meng Huanyan. Meng Huanyan is the one who plotted against me and Mother. If he stays here, we can't comfort him. Of course, he can only comfort each other with Aunt Lu."
Du Shiyin: "If Meng Huanyan hadn't gone too far today and refused to admit her mistake, how could your father have severed ties with her? I've spent my whole life with him, and I know him better than anyone. It's already remarkable that he's gone this far. How could I expect him to put aside his unhappiness and make me happy? Besides, with you and your siblings by my side, whether your father is here or not isn't that important."
At her age, the matriarch of a wealthy family is already considered a rare model couple in the capital for being able to treat each other with respect and understanding. To expect her husband to only have eyes for her would only make her unhappy.
Meng Qingyu picked up the stiff Ganoderma lucidum from the table, and still couldn't help but want to cry.
"Mother, how could Second Sister have become so wicked? If it weren't for Lingzhi, she would have killed both you and Eldest Sister. My poor Lingzhi, it's not even three years old yet..."
When he didn't know who the murderer was, he wanted nothing more than to kill the murderer to avenge Lingzhi. Now that he knew the murderer was his second sister, he was both puzzled and helpless. He couldn't kill his second sister, and he didn't know how his second sister had become so cruel.
He was closest to his eldest sister, but he was also quite close to his second and third sisters. Every year on his birthday, his second sister would give him a gift. How could he suddenly become the murderer who wanted to kill his mother and eldest sister?
Du Shiyin sighed, "She was just pretending all along; she's inherently bad. Otherwise, why would she have tried to steal your older sister's groom three days ago?"
After saying this, Du Shiyin remembered that Wen Zhiming was also present. Realizing she had misspoke, she quickly added, "It's fortunate that she had that boy surnamed Guan snatch her away. That boy is cold and ruthless, and his character and appearance are far inferior to Prince Wen's."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhiming argued, "That man surnamed Guan wasn't taken away; it was Xiaoling'er who didn't want him. He even tried to take Xiaoling'er from me, but he couldn't win."
He couldn't stand anyone saying anything bad about his wife, not even his mother-in-law.
Xiao Ling'er is so beautiful and capable, who would be so blind as to abandon her? In his eyes, Xiao Ling'er is the best, and she is the only one who should abandon others.
Now that Xiao Ling'er is his wife, he has to behave well and not make her sad, otherwise she might not want him anymore, and that would be terrible for him.
Seeing how much he defended Meng Lingge, Du Shiyin felt gratified and nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, Prince Wen is right. Mother was wrong."
Turning to Meng Qingyu, he said, "Lingzhi is dead. Find someone to give it a proper burial. Tomorrow, I'll have the steward take you to the market to choose one. You can raise a rabbit, a raccoon dog, or a fox, whatever you like."
“No matter how many you raise, they won’t become Ganoderma lucidum…” Meng Qingyu was still sullen. But he knew that things had come to this point, and making a fuss would be useless.
He couldn't ask his parents to make his second sister pay for Lingzhi's life. Besides, although he hated his second sister, he didn't hate her to the point of wanting her dead.
Heartbroken, he could only leave, clutching the Ganoderma lucidum.
Granny Tang had already been rescued and rushed over after regaining consciousness.
"Madam and Miss have not yet had breakfast, so I have had it prepared again. However, I am worried that the ingredients may have been tampered with, so I have instructed a trusted person to purchase them again. Therefore, we will have to wait a little longer."
Cook Li and she had been jointly responsible for the lady's meals for more than ten years without any problems. This time, however, the thief took advantage of the situation, and she was terrified. She felt that all the ingredients and seasonings in the kitchen were poisoned, so she simply replaced them all.
"No rush." Meng Lingge turned to look at Du Shiyin and said seriously, "This incident proves that your food is not safe. You need to be more careful in the future. Although Meng Huanyan mainly targeted me this time, we can't be too careful. There may be others in this mansion who have designs on you. It's always good for Mother to be careful in everything."
If it weren't for Lingzhi, she and her mother would have almost been murdered. She had underestimated human nature and hadn't expected Meng Huanyan to be so wicked.
Du Shiyin smiled and said, "Mother understands. The food will take a while to arrive. You take Prince Wen for a stroll first, and Mother will call someone to invite you over when the food is ready."
Meng Lingge knew that her mother was worried that Wen Zhiming would get bored sitting for too long. She turned her head and saw that Wen Zhiming's eyes were shining and he was eager to go. Knowing that he also had the same idea, she nodded, got up, and left hand in hand with Wen Zhiming.
