Chapter 475: The Farmer's Spring and Field
Shen Zhu knew that Meng Jinliang's previous fiancée was the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion. He had not married in all these years. It was said that he was heartbroken because of the death of the eldest daughter. So he was deeply in love with that woman. The second daughter of the Mu family also liked him. If he was out of empathy, it was very likely that he would not care that she was a concubine's daughter and married her. In other words, Mu Weizhi was now his biggest rival in love for Meng Jinliang!
Meng Jinliang frowned because of Mu Weizhi's sarcasm and rudeness. Shen Zhu naturally had to add fuel to the fire and make Meng Jinliang dislike Mu Weizhi even more, so that she would have more hope.
"Miss Mu, how can you say that? I came here unintentionally. I saw the beautiful moonlight here and wanted to come here to enjoy the moon. I happened to meet Master Meng. This is just a coincidence. How can you think of me with such a dirty mind? This is simply a humiliation to me! After all, I am also a guest invited by your mansion today. Is this how you, as a host, treat guests? I will go and ask the Marquis for an explanation! Otherwise, I will have no face to live in the future!"
Shen Zhu said sadly, her voice soft and mournful, it was very pitiful to be here under the flowers and the moon.
Mu Weizhi was furious when she saw Shen Zhu's coquettish look. She thought that she was pretending to be pitiful just to show off to her brother Liang, which made her look like a fierce woman. She was so bold to seduce people to come to her!
"Shen Zhu! If you want to cry, go somewhere else! Today is a good day, not for you to cry! Don't think that you can get away with just pretending to be pitiful, it's useless! Anyone would think that you came here on purpose to seduce men, you are so shameless, you have the nerve to report me to my father, you will be embarrassed!"
"Weier, watch your words!"
Meng Jinliang said that he had also known Mu Weizhi since childhood, although they had not met many times. However, the two families were close, and if his fiancée had not passed away, Mu Weizhi would have been his wife's sister, and would have been like a younger sister. Now seeing her being so sarcastic, he could not bear it any longer.
Mu Weizhi also knew that if Meng Jinliang saw her like this, she would be ruining her image, but she just wanted to piss off these annoying people in front of her, especially Madam Shen who looked like her elder sister. Although Meng Jinliang didn't treat her as his sister when he looked at her, he smiled at her!
Even though that Madam Shen was already a married woman who was about to have children, Mu Weizhi still didn't want Meng Jinliang to spend more time with Madam Shen.
"Brother Liang, I just don't want people with ulterior motives to get close to you. I'm doing this for your own good. Please don't scold me, or I'll be very sad."
Mu Weizhi turned to face Meng Jinliang and put on a weak look, which was totally inconsistent with her delicate face.
Shen Zhu said, "What do you mean by ulterior motives? I have also met Mr. Meng before, so we are acquaintances. Since we have met, can't we say a few words? If we say something, then it means we have ulterior motives? Miss Mu's thoughts are really ridiculous. It seems that Miss Mu would never talk to a man normally."
"Don't try to quibble! If you didn't have an ulterior motive, why would you leave the maid aside and come here alone? You are a man and a woman who are totally unfamiliar with each other. Don't think that others don't know what's in your mind!"
Shen Zhu blushed and snorted, "If your heart is a lotus, you will think of others as pure as lotus. If your heart is manure, you will think of others as dirty as manure!"
Shen Zhu finished her words. Her face turned even redder and she glanced at Su Zhi, because Su Zhi had said these words before and had scolded her before. She used them again now, and in front of Su Zhi. It seemed that she was poor in words and felt more embarrassed than when she was humiliated by Mu Weizhi. She thought it was a good thing that it was dark. No one could see that she was blushing.
Meng Jinliang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought that what Miss Shen said made a lot of sense.
Shen Zhu naturally noticed that Meng Jinliang showed admiration for her words, and she was delighted. But before she could smile, Yueyue's words almost distorted her pretty face.
Yueyue said, "Aunt, what you said was what my mother said to you, right? It turns out you remembered it!"
"That's hilarious! So you remembered that because someone said that to you? Needless to say, you must have been disrespectful to your fourth sister-in-law at that time. You are really uneducated!"
Mu Weizhi laughed at Shen Zhu, but glanced at Su Zhi, thinking that this village woman had some nice words in mind. She saw the admiring look of Brother Liang just now, and even now Brother Liang was looking at that lady Shen with admiration, which was really worrying.
"Ms. Shen is still so amazingly talented. I admire her."
Meng Jinliang thought of the first time he met this Madam Shen. She was standing on the street where lights were dimming, softly chanting those stunning words. At that time, he felt that she was pregnant with a beautiful woman. Now, just this one philosophical sentence proved that he was not wrong about her. Although this woman was born in the countryside, she was a capable woman. Moreover, she "cured" the Second Prince's illness, destroyed the noblewoman's conspiracy, and diagnosed that her sister was pregnant. This showed that she was extremely intelligent and had medical skills. She was truly a talented woman.
Meng Jinliang once thought that Madam Shen looked a bit like his fiancée in his memory, but now he felt that she was just a bit like him, but definitely not his fiancée. His fiancée was a quiet, gentle and somewhat timid woman, how could she be such a confident and strong woman who attracted everyone's attention?
Su Zhi smiled and said thank you to Meng Jinliang.
Xing'er said, "Mother, you are very talented. I am not giving you a compliment. Mother, you said that excessive humility is arrogance."
Yueyue added, "Pride makes people regress."
Su Zhi smiled happily after hearing this, patted their heads and said, "You are right, this is just a polite remark from mother, it is not excessive humility, just appropriate humility."
"Well, you can brag all you want. Why are you talking so much?"
Mu Weizhi said that she was very jealous when she saw Meng Jinliang looking at Shen Niangzi with such admiration. She usually didn't like reading and writing, and was not proficient in those poems. She thought that women only needed to be able to manage the household and dress up, and poetry was all men's business, and women didn't need to learn too much. Now that Shen Niangzi had attracted Meng Jinliang with her talent, she was very annoyed.
"Some people brag because they have a lot to brag about, unlike some people who want to brag but have nothing to brag about."
Shen Zian spoke coldly at the side. He disliked the Second Miss Mu in front of him. It was this girl who let someone steal Yueyue's things. Not only did she not apologize, she also walked away. Now she was mocking his wife again. What a rude woman.
Su Zhi saw that her husband was venting his anger on her and looked at him with a squinting smile.
Meng Jinliang looked at the heartwarming scene of the couple smiling at each other, and felt envious. He wished that if his fiancée were still alive, there would be someone like her by his side smiling at him.
Shen Zhu smiled and said, "That's right. Some people want to brag, but they don't have the capital to brag. As a host, they only cause trouble for the guests. They are not elegant and generous at all."
Su Zhi listened to this and thought that Shen Zhu really didn't know what to do. Could it be that Shen Zhu was so bewitched by Meng Jinliang's beauty that she didn't know what to say? Even if the second lady of the Mu family was a concubine's daughter, she was still a lady of the Marquis's mansion. Even if she took advantage of it now, she would suffer in the future!
Shen Zhu actually thought of this in her mind, but she had her own plans.
Mu Weizhi gritted her teeth in anger. She thought the Shen family was so shameless that they refused to leave even after she humiliated them. They didn't know their place and were willing to be her enemy. It really pissed her off!
"Brother Liang, have you met father and elder brother? They just talked about you. Let me take you to find them! Let's go!"
Mu Weizhi wanted to keep Meng Jinliang away from the Shen family, and then she would find a way to deal with them.
Meng Jinliang said, "I will go there later, Wei'er, you go first."
Mu Weizhi pursed her lips and said in a sweet voice: "Then I will accompany Brother Liang, and we will go together later!"
"Husband, I think the lights over there are nice, let's go there. There are too many people here, and it's a bit noisy." Su Zhi didn't want to stay here any longer. She just happened to pass by, and it was quite boring to have such an argument. It really wasted such a beautiful time.
Shen Zian nodded and said to Shen Zhu, "Zhu'er, you should go back to find your fifth brother soon. Don't let your maid stay too far away from you, or people will think you just met someone by coincidence."
Shen Zhu said, "I understand. Take care, Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law."
Shen Zhu also wished that her fourth brother and his wife would leave quickly. Although they could help her deal with Mu Weizhi, they also prevented her from getting close to Meng Jinliang!
Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi would not send Shen Zhu back to Shen Ziju like a child. After giving her some instructions, they said goodbye to Meng Jinliang, and the couple left with their three children, Liu Yin, and the little maid.
Meng Jinliang watched the couple walk away, thinking that they were nice people, but Mrs. Shen looked a bit like his fiancée, which made him sad, so he didn't want to get closer to them.
"Ms. Shen, why are you still standing here? Do you really have to wait until I tell others about you seducing my brother Liang here? Aren't you afraid of losing face?"
Mu Weizhi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Madam Shen leave, but when she saw Shen Zhu was still there, she frowned again and wanted to drive Shen Zhu away.
Shen Zhu said, "The scenery here is very beautiful. I would like to enjoy the moonlight here. Why not?"
"Okay! Brother Liang, let's not stay here to make her look at the moon, let's go!" Mu Weizhi said as she pulled Meng Huanliang and left.
Shen Zhu watched Meng Jinliang being dragged away and stamped her feet in hatred, thinking that she must get the person she wanted. She would definitely marry the king's uncle and make Mu Weizhi cry to death!
Today is another update. I admit that I have become a little lazy these days because of various reasons. There were real reasons for the past few days, but today I just didn't want to write. I wrote one chapter for three hours. I will try to update during the day tomorrow to cure myself. I can't be healthy but lazy. I don't ask for forgiveness, I cover my face and leave. It's raining heavily outside, it's a good time to face the wall.
