The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 733 Express attitude
Meng Mansion, Zehuiyuan Council Hall.

Shang was busy until noon before she could take a break. "Master Zeng heard that Yaoyao was not feeling well and it was not her day off, but he still took time out to come to our Meng Mansion and bring Yaoyao a bunch of gifts to express his concern. This makes sense, after all, they are cousins."

She paused and continued, "But...what's going on between Mr. Lu and Mr. Ding?"

This really stumped Cai's mother: "...Maybe it's intentional?"

Shang was most afraid of this intention, and she had thought of it, but she didn't dare to think about it: "Lu Mansion has Queen Lu, so it's unlikely. Ding Mansion is okay, but with the prince of the East Palace, even ten Ding Mansions will be useless."

Mrs. Cai heard the clue and said, "Madam, do you think that Mr. Ding might be a good match for you?"

"Mr. Zeng is also a good match." Shang did not answer directly, but indirectly included Zeng Chongqi and Ding Lan'an in the list of good husbands and wives. "Yaoyao... I always feel that she does not want to marry into the Eastern Palace."

"Why do you think so?" Mother Cai didn't feel that way. She just thought that becoming the Crown Princess was a great thing that all the noble ladies in the capital were looking forward to.

"I just feel it." Shang couldn't say anything specific. She frowned and said, "I asked Yaoyao, but she didn't say anything. I asked mother, but she didn't know either. I told the master, but he didn't say a word."

She was really bored.

Mrs. Shang was confused, and Mrs. Cai was even more confused, so they just kept silent.

The council room was quiet for a while, and a maid came in and reported: "Madam, the second young lady's aunt is here."

Wen family?

Shang asked, "One person?"

The maid replied, "Mr. Wu Biao is here too, bringing many gifts with him. He said he came to express his gratitude to the young lady."

"Where is the eldest lady? Has she gone to report?" Shang asked as she stood up and walked out.

"I have reported it, but the eldest lady is not in Taichen Courtyard. She said she went out half an hour ago and asked to come back before sunset." All these things the maid said were told to her by Shangchun. He told her in such detail because he wanted her to report it to Shangshi.

Shang paused and turned to look at the maid. She wanted to say something but felt that it was useless to say anything at this moment. She turned back, stepped over the threshold, and walked out of the council hall: "Let's go to the front yard."

Mother Cai followed silently.

When Mrs. Meng received Shang's report on everything that had happened today, she had already finished lunch and was sitting in Derentang drinking tea, thinking of taking a nap to digest her food.

"Yaoyao, didn't you tell me where you were going? What were you going to do before you left?" Old Madam Meng didn't care much about whether Mr. Yu came into the house so late last night, or whether Mr. Zeng and Mr. Ding came in close proximity today. She also didn't think it was important that Wu Pinbai's wife came to express her gratitude. She only cared about what her eldest granddaughter was busy with.

Shang shook her head: "No, she just said she would be back before the lights were turned on."

"This girl..." Old Lady Meng sighed, "She doesn't look like Zeng, nor does she look like Erlang. I don't know who she looks like."

"My daughter-in-law looks... like you." Shang had this feeling a long time ago, but she only had the opportunity to express it today.

Mrs. Meng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be like me."

If I were like her, I would be worried all my life, which would be too hard.

She had been in good health since she was born, but her eldest granddaughter had been sickly since childhood and had to constantly suffer from various illnesses before finally reaching the age of 15. If she was really like her, she was really afraid that her eldest granddaughter would not live to her age.

Just thinking about it, the bitter smile on Mrs. Meng's face immediately turned into worry: "When Yaoyao comes back, ask her to come to the upper room to see me. No matter how late it is, I will wait for her." This time it was Shang's turn to be stunned: "...Okay."

Wen did not meet Meng Shisan, but she expressed her gratitude sincerely to Wu Shaohao.

Shang stayed for a while, then asked Wu to stay with her, and she went back to the backyard to continue her work, allowing Wu and Wen, the sister-in-law, to have a good chat.

Shang returned to the back house and met Old Madam Meng in the upper room of Changchun Courtyard, while Wu took Wen back to Wenshan Courtyard and talked behind closed doors.

When Shang left the main courtyard, Wu also saw Wen off.

Shang went to Taichen Courtyard and personally conveyed Mrs. Meng's intention to Shangchun. Wu went to Wanfei Courtyard and held Meng Meijing's hand for a long time, and was so excited that she couldn't speak.

In the end, the two sisters-in-law are busy with their own things.

The same is true for Meng Shisan.

She went out in the morning, mainly accompanied by Gao Jin to see Shi Lianchun.

The two parties met at Quexian Tower.

Jin Baixi was not in Quexian Tower today, and even Cui Yu was not there either. Zhuo Quan came up and greeted them warmly. After Meng Shisan asked what he wanted to ask, he did not go to the private room, but sat down on the window sill facing the street in the lobby.

Shi Lianchun arrived at the appointment on time. When she entered Quexian Tower and looked around, she saw Meng Shisan sitting at the table on the windowsill facing the street in the lobby. She was stunned for a moment.

Then she walked towards Meng Shisan.

"Miss Meng." Shi Lianchun greeted her politely and then sat down opposite Meng Shisan. "I didn't expect that Miss Meng could be so open and aboveboard."

To put it bluntly, her father is still hanging on to his last breath. He seems to be alive, but in fact, if there is no antidote to save him, he is no different from being dead.

Moreover, even if father could escape the serious illness caused by the evil spirit, father's integrity and uprightness, as well as what mother could tell her, and the things in father's hands, would be enough to make father die hundreds of times again.

As a daughter, she actually hopes that her father can be more selfish, not so concerned about the country and the people, and that as long as he can save his life and his family can be safe and happy.

However, as a citizen of the Great Wei Dynasty, she admired her father immensely, felt very proud to have such a father, and felt proud to be a daughter of the Shi family.

But the arm cannot twist the thigh.

All her hopes, the hope that her father could survive, were completely placed on the eldest daughter of the Meng family in front of her. The fact that the eldest daughter of the Meng family met her so openly this time was tantamount to expressing an attitude.

This attitude is certainly not for her to see, but for those behind the scenes who want her father dead!

She had no relatives or friends, no favors or favours, but she could achieve such a thing. She could hardly hide the excitement in her heart, and even more difficult to suppress her gratitude to Meng Shisan.

"It's fine if I don't do it. But if I do it, I won't be a villain." Meng Shisan is not good at sneaking around, and she has rarely done anything sneaky in the past thousand years.

Now that she was meeting Shi Lianchun, she would benefit more from not being sneaky, so she naturally came in an open and aboveboard manner.

Shi Lianchun immediately stood up and bowed to Meng Shisan again in all seriousness: "Thanks to Miss Meng's help, Lianchun is willing to serve Miss Meng as a slave for the rest of her life."

"That's not necessary." Meng Shisan has no shortage of cattle and horses.
