The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 961 Be Resilient

According to the eldest granddaughter, the second grandson truly has General Qiao in the army and the three great families of Lingnan in the countryside. What he guarantees is not just the safety of the second grandson.

Military merit is just around the corner!

In the evening, while Meng Shisan was still having his evening meal, he received the good news from Shang Xia that the lockdown had been lifted.

"Grandfather just got back?" Meng Shisan asked with a smile. She had important business to attend to outside the manor. She had been thinking that if her grandfather still disagreed, she would have to sneak out of the manor again. Now that her grandfather had agreed, she could leave the manor openly to do her business, which was even better.

Shang Xia replied, "Yes, the old master just returned, changed into his everyday clothes and sat down to eat. The old lady then told him about the eldest young lady's desire to have her confinement lifted, and the old master agreed without hesitation."

Overjoyed at being released from confinement, Meng Shisan had Baozhu give Xia two gold beads as a reward.

Enjoying the summer, we returned to Changchun Courtyard.

When Old Madam Meng learned that Meng Shisan had given Shang Xia two gold beads, she said meaningfully to Meng Tianguan, who was drinking fish head soup, "Tell me, will Yaoyao leave the mansion tomorrow?"

"It will definitely be released." Meng Tianguan replied confidently without even thinking.

Grandma Meng added, "I wonder what they're going to do this time."

Meng Tianguan smiled but didn't reply.

"You're right, Yaoyao is different from Wan'er." Old Madam Meng had to admit that when Meng Tianguan said this before, she agreed verbally, but in her heart she was somewhat unconvinced.

It wasn't until she had gone through this period and witnessed her eldest granddaughter's courage and even her strength that she suddenly realized and fully understood what her husband meant.

Neither her husband nor she, nor even the entire Meng family, had ever truly understood her, their eldest granddaughter.

How can you draw conclusions without understanding them?

She couldn't see her eldest granddaughter's true abilities, so naturally she couldn't predict her future trajectory.

Without her husband's guidance, she probably wouldn't have been able to recognize this fact now.

“I’ve said this before: our eldest granddaughter and our daughter grew up in different environments, and naturally, they will be worlds apart in the end.” After finishing his fish head soup, Meng Tianguan put down his chopsticks and got up to sit down on the left side of the head seat.

The servants quickly filed in and quietly and efficiently cleared the dining table.

Shang Dong prepared fragrant tea early in the morning. As soon as the dining table was cleared, she turned around and went to the tea room to bring the tea, which was at the perfect temperature, into the main room.

Grandma Meng had figured it out and understood, but when she thought about how Meng Shisan had faced assassination attempts and sneak attacks before, she was still a little worried: "Yaoyao was poisoned first and had a persistent high fever. I did think about... but then I gave up."

Meng Tianguan understood his wife's feelings: "Don't worry, Yaoyao is different from Wan'er, and even more different from Zeng Shi. I wasn't sure before, but after Yaoyao recovered from her high fever due to poisoning, I can be sure that Yaoyao will not repeat the same mistake. At least Zeng Shi's paranoia will not happen to our eldest granddaughter."

"Hmm..." Old Madam Meng had also pondered this question, "What about the Left Censor-in-Chief Zeng..."

"I was waiting for the matter of the Second Prince to pass before I paid a visit to our old relative by marriage." Meng Tianguan had already made some plans, but firstly, he was tied up with official duties, and secondly, Li Heng had been suppressing the Crown Prince and the Meng family in every way recently, so he felt it was not the right time to visit the Zeng family.

Now that Li Heng is dead, he needs to rearrange his official duties and find some time to visit the Zeng residence.

"Alright." Old Mrs. Meng then asked, "Do you need me to go with you?"

Meng Tianguan shook his head: "No need. The current mistress of the Zeng family is the wife of Zeng You Tongzheng. When necessary, you can have your eldest daughter-in-law invite Madam Zeng alone. You must make it clear to your eldest daughter-in-law what to say and what not to say."

"Then Madam Zeng probably doesn't know much about the time when our first daughter-in-law was seriously ill." Old Madam Meng didn't think that having Madam Shang invite Madam Hu would bring up any substantial old stories.

Meng Tianguan had the same idea: "Therefore, I said, 'Wait until there is a need.'"

Ninety-nine percent of the time, there is no need for this. Early the next morning, after having breakfast, Meng Shisan took Baozhu and set off in her private Meng family carriage.

Butler Chu watched the whole process, and once Meng Shisan's cart started moving, he turned around and went to the backyard to report to Old Madam Meng.

After thinking for a moment, Grandma Meng waved her hand and said, "Fine, let her be."

The road ahead is long; she can see it for a while, but not forever.

Besides, her husband was right when he said something before he went to bed last night: she can't protect her daughter and her eldest granddaughter like she used to.

Otherwise, if the eldest granddaughter cannot marry the Crown Prince's grandson, so be it. But if the eldest granddaughter does become the Crown Princess, then her days in the Eastern Palace and her future days in the harem will be challenges that she will have to face on her own.

She may protect her, but she also has to let her eldest granddaughter venture out on her own.

not to mention……

She smiled faintly, pursing her lips: "Yaoyao is much more resilient than I imagined."

Butler Chu wholeheartedly agreed: "The old lady is right."

"By the way, has Chu Cun written to us recently?" Old Madam Meng had just asked Meng Shisan last night if Meng Renji had written to her recently, and now she asked Butler Chu again about news of Chu Cun.

Chu Cun served by Ci Sun's side, and by listening to the contents of Chu Cun's letters, she could learn some things about Ci Sun's current situation in Lingnan.

But Butler Chu shook his head: "There has been no letter recently. The last letter came along with the Second Young Master's letter."

The implication is that the contents of his second son's letter were almost identical to those of the letter from Old Madam Meng's second grandson.

Grandma Meng's mood soured: "Go downstairs."

"Yes, sir." Butler Chu withdrew from the main room.

No sooner had Meng Shisan stepped out than Huang Jing found out and ran to ask Shang Chun, "Where did Yaoyao go?"

Shangchun replied, "Miss said she wants to go to Qingbei Mountain."

"Going to Qingbei Mountain? Can she even climb up there?" Huang Jing asked worriedly.

"Miss said yes." Shangchun had already asked Meng Shisan this question.

"How can that be?" Huang Jing asked another question he had asked Meng Shisan during the spring outing.

Shang Chun immediately repeated Meng Shisan's original words: "In the city, hire someone to hire a sedan chair. When you get to the foot of Qingbei Mountain, you can change from a large cart to a sedan chair and ride up in the sedan chair. There won't be any problems."

Huang Jing opened his mouth, then closed it again, turned around and went to find the water snake.

Soon, the man and the snake headed back to the vast river to continue searching for the old objects.

Shangchun went to the camellia under the courtyard wall, watered the eighteen scholars, then went to the water vat to feed the grass carp. Afterwards, she went to the small kitchen, picked up the half bucket of meat prepared for the silver fox, and fed the silver fox.

Her days are also very busy.

She's only slightly more relaxed than her mistress.

On the way out of the city to Qingbei Mountain, Baozhu asked Meng Shisan, "Miss, it was Miss Huang who instructed Xiaoyin to inform His Highness. Don't you think Miss Huang acted on her own initiative?"
