The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 601: Don’t Want to Come

If she was easy to bully, Lu Pingting would not have been whipped three times by her.

Shang had never expected that Wen would come in person. Because of their opposing positions, the Meng and Lu families had always been friendly on the surface, but it was only a superficial friendship.

The secret competition has never really stopped.

Even though the brothers Lu Sen and Lu Luo had always secretly opposed Queen Lu's ambition to promote Li Heng to the position of crown prince, they had never been close to the Meng family in public.

Not to mention the interactions between the female members of the two families.

Even when they met at various banquets, both sides were always polite to each other, as polite as possible. There had never been a situation like today where someone actually came to the door in person.

Shang felt a little confused and unsure.

In fact, Wen was somewhat helpless and even embarrassed, not knowing where to start. She came here because she was forced by her mother-in-law.

According to her own ideas, she would not come at all.

Because her husband had made it clear to her, the legitimate daughter was whipped because she slapped the second daughter of the Meng family twice first, and the eldest daughter of the Meng family saw it with her own eyes. The elder sister was so angry that she whipped her daughter Rongrong.

It is absolutely impossible for her to not feel sorry for her own daughter, but as for the reason why she won't come, it is all because of her husband's words.

A woman regards her husband as her God and always obeys whatever he says. However, she is not completely without her own sense of right and wrong.

How many evil things has the eldest daughter done outside? As a mother, how could she really not know anything about it over the years?
Whenever she had free time, she would wonder how her daughter became the most noble lady in the capital.

It was not until she later witnessed the legitimate daughter's ability to change her face and the fact that her younger brother-in-law took the blame for her regardless of right or wrong that she realized that the title was actually earned by the legitimate daughter's acting skills and her younger brother-in-law's sacrifice of his reputation.

Later, she tried to persuade the eldest daughter, hoping to change her temper and make her realize that people can act, but the gains from acting cannot last long, and they will not get real happiness. But she failed, and she knew that the eldest daughter had already been shaped and could not be changed.

Later, she figured it out on her own and felt relieved with the comfort of her husband.

As the daughter of the Lu family, and a legitimate daughter, as long as the Lu family does not fall, even if the legitimate daughter is a little arrogant and domineering, her future husband's family will not dare to do too much.

In short, the Lu family cannot fall.

The key to the Lu family's survival lies in the Empress Dowager and the Second Prince.

She had never interfered in her husband's official duties, and her husband would never tell her about them. But this time, her husband specifically told her that the Second Prince currently had two troubles, one of which had been suppressed by His Majesty, and the other was still being thoroughly investigated. If the Second Prince was to remain in power, the second trouble must not be used to gain leverage.

The evidence of the first case has already been in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If His Majesty had not suppressed it, the Second Prince would have been seriously injured if not killed. Therefore, this second case of husband Fang Yan must not be released.

Before she got married, she was a lady from a distant house. After she got married, she became a woman in the harem. She never knew about the imperial power and government affairs. Her father and brother never told her about it, and neither did her husband.

Today, her husband learned that she was forced by her mother-in-law to come to the Meng Mansion to be questioned. He told her all this in a hurry. His only meaning was that if her mother-in-law asked her to come, she would come, but she couldn't really be questioned when she came. She could just treat it as a formality.

However, this was the first time for her to go through such a formality.

Especially Mrs. Meng's warm hospitality and the doubt and vigilance that could not be concealed in her eyes made her feel a little speechless. However, she had to go through this scene, which really put her in a difficult position.

Thinking of this, Wen couldn't help but turn slightly to the side and sighed quietly facing the outside of Qingming Hall. She didn't expect that her sigh would be seen face to face by Meng Shisan who had just stepped into the hall.

Wen suddenly felt even more embarrassed.

Meng Shisan had no idea what Wen was thinking, so he paused for two breaths before continuing to enter Qingming Hall.

Shang had sharp eyes and noticed this. She followed Meng Shisan's gaze and moved towards Wen, whose face was not facing her.

Wen felt Shang's gaze, turned her head sideways, and met Shang's eyes. She smiled subconsciously.

Shang reacted quickly, and then she also laughed and stood up and said, "Yaoyao, this is the eldest lady of the Lu Mansion, Madam Lu, and this is my niece, the eldest lady of our Meng Mansion."

At the end, she emphasized that she was the eldest daughter of the Meng Mansion. This made Wen even more certain of what Lu Sen had told her, that she must be careful in her words and actions after arriving at the Meng Mansion.

As soon as she stood up, Meng Shisan, as a junior, bowed to her and said, "Liangchen greets Madam."

Wen Shi pretended to support her: "Ms. Meng is really good-looking."

Meng Shisan said modestly, "Madam, you are too kind."

After a few polite words, Shang and Meng Shisan looked at Wen together, waiting for her to explain the reason for her visit today.

Wen Shi also knew that the time had come. After chatting so much, it would be a waste of time if she didn't say anything: "I came here today because of one thing..."

After listening to what Wen said, Meng Shisan had expected it and was not surprised. Shang was shocked in his heart but showed only a little surprise on his face, and then he calmed down.

Meng Shisan raised his eyebrows when he saw this, thinking that his aunt was indeed worthy of being the head wife of the Meng family.

Shang looked at Meng Shisan who was sitting next to her. Her eyes were helpless as can be, but in her helplessness there was a doting smile. It was obvious that she did not intend to blame Meng Shisan for whipping Lu Pingting in the street.

Meng Shisanpin came out, straightening his chest unconsciously and stretching his back straight.

There was a hint of pride in that little look and eyes.

Shang couldn't help laughing, so she quickly turned her eyes away and turned back to face Wen, asking very kindly, "Then I wonder how Madam Lu wants to deal with this? What kind of result do you want to get by coming here today?"

As she spoke, she was thinking about how she could most forcefully refute the Wen family if they came to settle a score with her.

"Madam Meng, please don't misunderstand me. I really can't come to your house today." On the way here, Wen had thought about it carefully in the carriage. After all, her husband had already reminded her in words that if it really didn't work, she could just bring up her mother-in-law. "I have learned the whole process of Rongrong being whipped by your niece. It was really my fault first. I beat your second daughter first, and then Miss Meng took action... Rongrong has already asked the imperial physician, and it's fine. With careful nursing and applying medicine for a period of time, she will be completely healed without leaving any scars."

Shang listened and put her heart at ease: "Then..."

"I didn't want to come here today, but my mother forced me to come." Wen said truthfully.

Shang understood: "Mrs. Lu?"

Wen nodded: "Yes."
