The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 682: Ten Words Spread to a Hundred

As soon as Meng Shisan entered the palace, the news spread like boiling water among the wealthy families in the capital.

Meng Meijing was very worried. After she knew the news, she went straight to the main courtyard of the back house and entered the courtyard of Old Madam Meng. Jixiang grabbed a maid and asked her. When she found out that Old Madam Meng was not in the upper room but in the Buddhist hall, she went straight to the Buddhist hall.

In the Buddhist hall, Old Mrs. Meng was picking up Buddha beans. She was sitting beside the Buddhist table, in a sitting position. She had her old eyes slightly closed, and with a kind look on her face, she was picking up Buddha beans slowly and muttering to herself.

"Grandma." Meng Meijing stepped into the Buddhist hall. She didn't dare to speak loudly, so she just called softly.

Old Mrs. Meng ignored her.

She had been ignored by Old Madam Meng many times since she was a child, so much so that she had become accustomed to it. She did not look sad at all, and she approached her quietly.

When she walked to the side of Old Lady Meng, she noticed that her mouth was moving all the time. She listened carefully but couldn't hear what she was saying. She squatted down and asked, "Is Grandma chanting?"

Old Mrs. Meng stopped chanting, but she kept picking up the Buddha beans. She looked at Meng Meijing and smiled: "Yes, grandma is chanting the Peace Sutra."

"Peace Sutra?" Meng Meijing had never heard of such a scripture, but she didn't dare to speak carelessly in the temple, so she just asked, "Who is grandma praying for peace?"

"Your elder sister." Old Madam Meng motioned Meng Meijing to sit down on the table next to her. "Come, help grandma pick some Buddha beans."

"Okay." Meng Meijing sat down obediently next to Old Mrs. Meng and picked up the Buddha beans one by one.

She had picked Buddha beans before. She remembered that the first time she picked up Buddha beans was to please her grandmother. Later, she found it was useless, so she didn't insist on picking them up.

Now that she could pick up the Buddha beans and sit next to her grandmother, her heart was filled with warmth: "Grandma, my sister has entered the palace, the Eastern Palace."

Mrs. Meng nodded: "Is this why you came here?"

Meng Meijing also nodded: "My granddaughter is worried about my elder sister."

"What are you worried about?" Mrs. Meng paused the Buddha beans in her hand and looked at Meng Meijing sideways.

Meng Meijing stopped the Buddha bean in her hand and held it in her palm: "Grandma, does my sister have to marry into the East Palace?"

"Don't you want your elder sister to marry into the Eastern Palace?" Old Madam Meng asked back.

Meng Meijing was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No. My granddaughter has no control over my elder sister's lifelong affairs, and I have no say in whether my elder sister marries into the Eastern Palace or not. This is not a question of whether my granddaughter wants to or not."

At this moment, Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Meijing, her second granddaughter, and her eyes gradually changed. She said with emotion: "I have heard your aunt and your mother mention that Yaoyao taught you a lot of things. I didn't expect that Yaoyao taught you even these."

"Grandma, what you mean is that my sister taught well?" Meng Meijing asked along the pole.

Old Mrs. Meng laughed and said, "You've learned well." Meng Meijing was praised, a rare compliment since she was a child. She was so happy that she almost stood up and jumped on the spot. Fortunately, the Buddha beans were still in her hand, reminding her in time the purpose of coming to the Buddhist temple.

"It's all thanks to my sister..." Meng Meijing spread out her palms and looked at the Buddha beans. She suddenly thought of Empress Meng of the Yuan Dynasty, whom she had never met, and her aunt who died early. "Grandma, my granddaughter is a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?" asked Mrs. Meng.

Meng Meijing lowered her head timidly: "My granddaughter dare not say it."

Old Madam Meng sighed softly: "There is nothing that cannot be said. Speak now, Grandmother will not blame you."

She understood that in the past years, she had been extremely disappointed with her second son, and because of the sudden loss of her eldest daughter Wanwan's glory in the imperial palace, she had completely ignored the grandsons and granddaughters of the second house, whether legitimate or illegitimate.

Whenever she thinks back on it now, she feels guilty.

It was her neglect that caused the second wife's children to respect and adore her, and even want to be close to her but also be afraid of her. The second granddaughter beside her is in such a state now.

Perhaps he was worried about his eldest granddaughter, so he came to her with all his might, hoping to seek peace of mind from her.

After receiving the promise from Old Lady Meng that she would not blame her, Meng Meijing immediately asked what she had been holding back all the way from her own courtyard to the Buddhist temple in the main courtyard: "Grandmother, my sister was openly carried away by His Highness from Bixu Manor, and did not return to our Meng Mansion, but went straight into the palace gate and headed straight to the East Palace. Will there be any problem?"

"You mean to say, since Your Highness has treated your elder sister in this way, will she be nailed to the Eastern Palace from now on and can never be removed from the position?" Old Madam Meng is getting more and more shrewd as she grows older. She didn't even need Meng Meijing to explain in detail. Based on every word she said, she guessed what her second granddaughter really wanted to ask.

Meng Meijing nodded hurriedly: "Yeah!"

Old Madam Meng raised her hand and touched Meng Meijing's little head, and said lovingly, "Everything will be fine when the time comes. Your sister will be fine."

The prince's grandson's heart is on his eldest granddaughter, and he will consider everything for her. Even if he fails to do so, there is still this old woman and the Meng family.

If it happens again, she will never give in even a little bit!
"Really?" Meng Meijing trusted Old Lady Meng very much. In the past, no matter what her grandmother said, she would believe it without hesitation. However, this time it concerned her eldest sister, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Old Madam Meng retracted her hand and picked up the Buddha bean again: "Your sister is not your aunt. She is much better than your aunt."

"Aunt..." Meng Meijing hesitated for a moment, and continued to pick up the Buddha beans in her hand, "Grandmother, if my sister really becomes the Crown Princess, and if His Highness really ascends the throne smoothly, my sister will be the master of the harem like my aunt. Grandmother said that my sister is much better than my aunt, but my sister has also mentioned to her granddaughter that my sister does not want to be the Crown Princess, because my sister knows very well that if she really becomes the Crown Princess, she will be a target day and night. Even if my sister becomes the Empress in the future, I am afraid it will be hard to defend against open and hidden attacks."

In the Lu Mansion, Lu Pingting was under house arrest and was unable to leave the city to participate in the fishing event at the Bixu Manor, but she did not regret it.

She was tired of watching the annual fishing competitions and had no interest in participating.

But when she heard that Li Shou had come to Bixu Manor in person, and in public, personally carried Meng Shisan, who had jumped into the water to rescue Zhu Shu, and left directly in his arms, got in the car outside the manor gate to return to the city, and then went straight to the palace gate to enter the East Palace, she was so angry that she even broke two of her nails!
Later, when she heard that Shi Lianchun had followed Jiang Ziyao to watch fishing, she had Shi Lianchun called into her courtyard and, regardless of right or wrong, scolded and humiliated Shi Lianchun.

Shi Lianchun just listened silently from beginning to end, even when Lu Pingting asked her to kneel down, she knelt down without saying a word.
