Talking about the past always makes people extremely sad.
Although Mrs. Jingrou said these words as if she was telling someone else's story, when she heard them, Lin Mengya had a different taste in her ears.
A woman's life path is predetermined from birth.
You have to be forced to combine with your elder brother, and you are completely unable to achieve your own happiness. Perhaps in modern society, this is the most shocking thing.
But Mrs. Jingrou chose her own love and escaped from her originally prescribed fate, but she was left with a deep sense of guilt towards her family.
Lin Mengya felt the same. If her mother had not resolutely chosen to give up her identity and follow her father, although she might not have died young, she would never have been so happy.
It's just that her mother is much happier than Mrs. Jingrou. Her cousins told her that their father has been looking for their mother, but only to see her peace and joy.
If Mrs. Jingrou's family had supported her like this back then, I'm afraid she wouldn't feel so heavy now.
"Ma'am, you don't have to think so much."
Lin Mengya gently kneaded Madam Jingrou's calves, and the calming ingredients she put in the rose porridge were gradually taking effect.
Soon, Mrs. Jingrou entered a state where she seemed to be awake but not awake.
Coupled with Lin Mengya's massage, the whole person felt soothed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.
"People should live for themselves, regardless of status or destiny framed by others. If my wife had not chosen to escape at the beginning, then she must be depressed and depressed now. A person's life span is only a few decades. Zai, if it’s all soaked in bitter water, what’s the point?”
Lin Mengya's voice was extremely soft, ethereal, and seemed to have a bit of magic, making people unable to help but want to keep her words in mind and think about it over and over again.
It also seemed that there was a seed buried in my heart. Her words were like a spring rain, making the seed in my heart germinate and grow rapidly.
Looking at Madam Jingrou who was gradually falling asleep, Lin Mengya quietly exited the dormitory.
Generally, people with a personality like Madam's will be under a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, Qingzheng Pu records some simple hypnotic treatments that can be combined with drugs and techniques.
As long as Madam can get rid of the obstacles in her heart, the day when her attitude becomes tougher will not be far away.
Instructing the maids not to enter unless summoned by the madam, Lin Mengya took the bowl of rose porridge and walked towards the small kitchen.
Sure enough, the scandal about her that was still spreading wildly this morning was replaced by a new hot topic in the afternoon.
Trying to pretend to have zero sense of presence, Lin Mengya collected a lot of gossip in the small kitchen with her excellent hearing.
The high priest of the Xin family should be Xiaoyu's uncle according to his seniority.
But he is not the madam's biological brother, but the head of a branch of the family. Because of his close relationship with the current patriarch of the Xin family, the madam's eldest brother, and because of his superior abilities, he was promoted to the position of high priest.
According to convention, there can only be one high priest at the same time.
But because Xinli was so outstanding, he was promoted to high priest when he was still underage.
In this case, Xin Luan's position would be a bit embarrassing.
Fortunately, he is very capable, and Xin Li is not yet fully qualified for the position of high priest. Therefore, he is still in this position, and will only give up this position completely when Xin Li can master it.
In this way, it does make some sense.
Lin Mengya's thoughts changed rapidly. She had only met two members of the Xin family so far.
Needless to say, Mrs. Jingrou is first-rate in terms of appearance and conduct.
As for that Xin Li... How should I put it? As soon as she mentioned him, Lin Mengya felt waves of discomfort all over her body.
She prefers young people with good looks, but those with a vicious heart should forget about them.
In any case, the Xin family is a major obstacle for Xiaoyu to inherit the throne.
There is no way around it, but it seems a bit difficult to uproot it.
As well as the rules of the Ten Thousand Gu Pool and the Gu Girl, she always felt that they were a little weird.
It seems that some things really cannot be rushed. Let’s take care of this matter in the palace first, and take your time with other matters.
It was very busy outside, preparing for the arrival of the priests.
The people in Feng Yuyuan were particularly peaceful. Because of Madam Jingrou's order, no one dared to go out and cause trouble.
The Queen was ill, and they really needed to avoid suspicion.
Therefore, the maids in the courtyard became unusually leisurely.
After hearing enough gossip, Lin Mengya quietly returned to the side hall where she lived.
But as soon as he entered the door, he saw that girl Ning Qiu, kneeling on the ground in tears.
Standing in front of her was Xiaoyu with a frosty face and a frown.
What are these two little ancestors
"Sister, you are back!"
The movement at the palace door immediately attracted all the attraction of Xiaoyu.
Turning his head, the ice and snow immediately melted, revealing a bright smile like a spring breeze, as if the person before was not him.
"You go out first, I have something to tell Ning Qiu."
Lin Mengya's expression remained as usual, and there was no visible change.
With just one mouthful, Xiaoyu was sent away.
The latter just opened his mouth unwillingly and could only leave the side hall obediently.
Lin Mengya watched Xiaoyu's figure disappear, then stretched out her hand and gently pulled Ning Qiu up from the ground.
"What happened? Did he hit you or scold you?"
Although Ning Qiu is the concubine in Madam's palace, what Lin Mengya hates most in her life are men who are mean to women.
Even when facing a woman he doesn't like, at least a man should maintain his proper demeanor.
You can be as cold as ice, but it's best not to be as mean as a philistine woman.
Ning Qiu immediately shook her head, her big watery eyes blinking, full of grievances.
"Your Highness did not punish me, he just said that you will not be allowed to do any of these rough jobs in the future. I also felt that it was my fault, so I took the initiative to kneel down. I was the one who insisted on kneeling when His Highness asked me to get up before. . It’s my fault for not taking good care of you.”
Lin Mengya sighed. Whether at home or here, the family members around her seemed to regard her as a retard.
Besides, these things are not onerous, so why can’t she do them
Seeing that Ning Qiu's attitude towards her seemed to be as distant and respectful as before, Lin Mengya couldn't help but sigh again.
"It's okay, I will tell him. I'm sorry that I have made you feel wronged. Madam is still taking a nap. Go and see her and don't let others disturb her."
Ning Qiu immediately nodded deeply and trotted all the way except the gate of the side hall.
This girl is good at everything, but she likes to take all the blame on herself, which is very similar to Madam.
No wonder, people say that birds of a feather flock together and people flock together.
Thinking of those people in her yard, they were not easy to mess with. It seemed that it was also because she, the owner, was not very nice.
"Sister, can I come in?"
Outside the door, a little head that was deliberately trying to be cute looked at her pitifully.
Lin Mengya nodded, trying to pretend to be serious but could only hold back.
After all, this child was right. What was wrong was that she did not let Xiaoyu understand her abilities in time.
Sitting on the round stool, Lin Mengya looked at Xiaoyu with a half-smile, until she saw his eyes rolling around, obviously unsure of what she meant, and then she pondered for a moment and spoke.
"Did you see clearly?"
Xiaoyu was a little confused, looking stupidly at her sister with a friendly smile in front of her, and nodded her little head in confusion.
"I have hands and feet. Although I am not a strong man, I am not a waste either. Xiaoyu, sister knows that you mean well, but there are some things that she really wants to do on her own. Do you want her to become a person who is not diligent in her limbs? Indiscriminate waste, or a normal person who can at least support himself?"
In fact, Xiaoyu's first choice was to raise Lin Mengya to be a loser.
However, under the latter's burning eyes, he could only choose the second option without hesitation.
"Very good, so no matter what sister does in the future, I hope you can understand it. Both of us must live with a mentality of mutual understanding, mutual respect, and mutual tolerance. You are very understanding, sister, I am very satisfied."
It means that it is obviously a meeting between the two parties.
But everyone knows that Xiaoyu always puts her sister first in everything, and there is no way to raise objections.
Even if there was, as long as Lin Mengya looked at him, he would immediately swallow it back into his stomach, digest it and make it disappear completely.
Therefore, the conversation between the two people came to an end in a cordial, friendly and not warm atmosphere.
"By the way, why did you come to me? There are rumors about the two of us in the palace now. I think it is necessary to keep a certain distance in front of outsiders."
Regarding this point, Xiaoyu and Lin Mengya hold the same attitude.
He didn't like the maids in the palace who liked to spread gossip no matter what happened.
I remember when I was in Liuxinyuan, it was all the servants of their family, grabbing melon seeds and talking about other people's family gossip.
No matter what happens in the house, everyone will keep it secret and not leak any information.
He really enjoys being with his sister and is not afraid of any rumors.
But this is their business, what does it have to do with others
There are so many discussions and rumors are spread, which is really annoying.
That's why he chose to secretly come to the side hall to wait for Lin Mengya, instead of just acting coquettishly with his sister as usual.
"You pack up and come out of the palace with me later. Uncle Lie has come back from the border, and I have conveyed your intention to him. Uncle Lie said that although he doesn't know much, if it is related to major events, he can Tell you everything. I came here today just to take you out of the palace."
