Meng Li and Jiang Yizhi came out from Mrs. Hou Ye's place.
Jiang Yizhi followed Meng Li. Meng Li looked at Jiang Yizhi and said:
"I'm going back to my room."
"I still need to do the homework assigned by my husband."
Jiang Yizhi seemed to have forgotten the quarrel with Meng Li just now, and joked:
"It seems that you have really done your homework to become the Crown Princess."
Although it was a joke, Jiang Yizhi had a hint of jealousy on his face.
Meng Li looked at Jiang Yizhi, said nothing, and smiled.
Jiang Yizhi had done enough homework to become the crown prince's concubine.
It’s not an exaggeration to think carefully.
The client did nothing wrong, just because he got a good marriage, he made others jealous.
Meng Li felt that it was understandable that Jiang Yizhi wanted to find a good marriage for him, but there were so many noble sons from aristocratic families in the capital, and many of them wanted status and appearance, so they could seduce other men.
But she just couldn't get along with the client and insisted on hooking up with her fiancé.
In the final analysis, it is still jealousy and dislike of the client.
But it seems that the client doesn't care about Prince Lin'an either.
Maybe it feels too uncomfortable.
Although men in this era would have concubines and side wives, if they respected their fiancées, they would never be like the Prince of Lin'an.
Seeing that Meng Li was silent, Jiang Yizhi smiled and said:
"Hey, are you shy?"
Meng Li had an expressionless face:…
It was also quite difficult for Jiang Yizhi. It was obvious that she was shy.
Because the client had made a marriage contract, the female gentleman gave her a little more homework.
It's almost like preparing for marriage.
Jiang Yizhi said to herself:
"I'll go with you. When we do it together, we can rest early and do our own things."
Meng Li made a sound, took two steps back, and said:
"No, thanks."
The client was touched that Jiang Yizhi often helped her, but she never thought that since the government invited a female teacher to teach them and gave her separate homework, she would have learned something useful.
Jiang Yizhi was a little disappointed, Meng Li said:
"I'm going back to my room first."
After saying that, Meng Li took Chunlu and left.
Jiang Yizhi twisted her handkerchief and looked at Meng Li's back. The maid next to her said:
"Miss, what's going on?"
Jiang Yizhi laughed twice and muttered:
"who knows."
With that said, he took the maid back to his room.
After returning to the room, Jiang Yizhi felt uncomfortable after thinking about it.
Fu Mingxi is usually enthusiastic when he sees her. Why is Fu Mingxi not so enthusiastic
She took out some broken silver, handed it to the maid next to her and said:
"Go and find out who the eldest lady has been close to recently."
"Or someone went to the eldest lady's place."
The maid was ordered to go with the broken silver, and Jiang Yizhi rubbed her handkerchief impatiently.
Meng Li went back to his room to do his homework, while Chunlu went out for a trip.
After entering the room, he said to Meng Li:
"Miss, take a rest, don't hurt your eyes."
Meng Li hummed and moved his neck, which was a little stiff.
This body is delicate and soft, and it feels very tiring to do even the slightest thing.
Chun Lu squeezed Meng Li's shoulder. Meng Li felt very tired and wanted to stand up and do some exercise to stretch her body. However, considering her current status, making some actions would be considered indecent. That’s all.
After Chunlu squeezed for a while, Meng Li moved his shoulders and said softly:
"Make me some tea."
Chunlu agreed and made tea for Meng Li.
While making tea, he said:
"Miss, did you have a conflict with your cousin?"
Meng Li raised his eyes, looked at Chun Lu, and said:
"how you said that."
Chunlu hesitated and said:
"I see that the young lady doesn't like the cousin today. The young lady has never been so cold to the cousin in so many years."
"There must be some reason."
Meng Li picked up the tea cup and blew on it. The hot air hit Meng Li's face, and Meng Li put it down again.
He said with emotion:
"I always felt that my cousin and I were as close as sisters, and better than confidants."
"I have friends with other ladies from Fuchu in Jingzhong, but none of them feel that my cousin is so in line with me."
"But now that I have made an engagement, I have discovered that my cousin and I will become estranged sooner or later, so there is no need to invest too much."
Chunlu nodded and said:
"Miss, I didn't think anything wrong."
Meng Li looked at Chun Lu. Chun Lu was two or three years older than the client. He was a good person and a good family member. He grew up in the mansion and was a little more transparent about some things.
The most important thing is that Chunlu is the client's mother.
The thoughts conveyed by Chunlu are basically the thoughts of the client’s mother.
I probably just went out to the client's mother.
Meng Li talked with Chunlu to test the client's mother's thoughts first.
Meng Li said nothing, Chunlu said again:
"If the young lady intends to keep a distance from my cousin, I think it should be done slowly and gradually. I'm afraid it will hurt the harmony so abruptly."
Meng Li smiled lightly and listened.
Meng Li felt really good that there was such a person beside the client.
Even when she gets married in the future, someone will remind her.
Chunlu paused and said:
"My slave has something to say and I don't know whether to say it or not."
Meng Li nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't blame you."
Chunlu said:
"Young lady is on good terms with my cousin today. You two have no grudges. If your friendship gets hurt in the future, I think my cousin may not be tolerant of you."
Meng Li raised his eyebrows, said oh, and said deliberately: "I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Mansion, will I be plotted by her?"
Chunlu stepped aside and said to Meng Li:
"Please forgive me for speaking frankly, miss. You must be on guard against others, and don't underestimate anyone."
"Although my cousin was born in the Jiang family in Jiangnan, she came to the Hou Mansion since she was a child. She is no different from the young lady from the Hou Mansion. Her knowledge and scheming are no different from those of women from aristocratic families. In addition, the old lady is really doting on her."
"It doesn't hurt your kindness, and it also prevents the old lady from getting angry."
Meng Li nodded and said, "That's it, I understand what mother means."
Chun Lu was startled and said, "Miss, do you know everything?"
Meng Li said nonchalantly: "My mother doesn't trust me because she is afraid that I will suffer a loss and be wronged in the house. How can I not know my mother's thoughts?"
"My mother is so kind, I only felt it recently."
"It's just that I only cared about myself before and never considered my mother's feelings. I didn't do the right thing."
Chunlu said happily:
"As long as the lady doesn't blame me for hiding this from you, I'll feel much better."
Meng Li shook his head and said, "Mother is doing it for my own good."
It seems that the client's mother also doesn't like Jiang Yizhi, otherwise she wouldn't have someone specially look after her to avoid suffering a disadvantage.
However, although Xiao Jiang Yizhi had some tricks, he had not harmed the interests of the client, which made Madam Hou Ye feel relieved.
It also left Mrs. Hou Ye unable to find any reason not to let them become friends.
