Extra Story 1: 19 Be Desperate
"Sneeze!" Meng Wanzhou was embroidering a hijab when she suddenly sneezed loudly.
Caiyun smiled and said: "Miss, my uncle must have missed you."
Meng Wanzhou put down her hijab and rolled her sore neck, "Don't talk nonsense, he won't miss me!"
These words have a sour taste.
It used to be a letter every three or two days, but now there has been no letter for more than ten days.
Caiyun's eyes turned slightly and she said with a smile: "Miss, are you worried about something recently? Are you afraid of getting married?"
Meng Wanzhou calculated that the wedding was only ten days away. She picked up the hijab and began to embroider. Her heart was filled with worry, "Maybe."
Caiyun sat aside and helped her sort out the threads.
Meng Wanzhou thought for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Have you gone to ask today? Still no letter from me?"
Caiyun shook her head. Seeing the disappointment in Meng Wanzhou's eyes, she couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't worry, miss. My uncle has just taken office and must be very busy. Moreover, he has to find time to come back to marry you, so he is even more busy."
Meng Wanzhou thought about it, and this was also the case.
Mu Yanheng once said that when you take office, you should take over the affairs as soon as possible, and then make time to come back and get married.
He always reported good news but not bad news, and Meng Wanzhou was worried that some local snake would cause trouble for him.
"Madam!" A little maid's voice greeted her outside the door.
Meng Wanzhou smiled and said, "Mother is here."
Putting down the red hijab that was almost finished embroidering in his hand, he stood up and went out to greet her.
Mrs. Meng came in with two maids and said with a smile: "Wan Zhou, how is the embroidery of the wedding dress going?"
Meng Wanzhou smiled shyly and said: "Only the hijab is left. It will probably be completed in three to five days."
Mrs. Meng smiled and said: "It will be done as long as it doesn't delay the matter."
While the mother and daughter were talking, they both sat down and the little maid served tea.
Mrs. Meng took a stack of lists from her maid and handed them to Meng Wanzhou, "This is your dowry list, the guest list for the day you go out, and the banquet menu. Check to see if there are any omissions. Hello, mother.
Add it to you."
"It's all up to mother to make the decision." Meng Wanzhou put her hands on the lists, feeling disappointed.
He is about to get married and leave his parents who raised him to become someone else's wife.
Seeing that she was a little disappointed, Mrs. Meng held her hand and said, "Daughter, what's wrong? You seem unhappy?"
She was a little worried that Meng Wanzhou would not be willing to marry Mu Yanheng.
After all, my daughter has been in love with Prince Jing Xi for so many years. As the saying goes, it was once difficult to make a difference. Although Mu Yanheng is also very good, he cannot compare with the handsome prince Jing Xi.
Meng Wanzhou put her hand on Mrs. Meng's hand and sighed slightly: "It's nothing. It was just seeing these that I felt that I was really going to get married, and I couldn't bear to leave my parents."
When Mrs. Meng heard this, her eyes turned red, and she said with a tearful voice: "Silly girl, my daughter will always get married when she gets older. I...can't bear it..."
As he spoke, he burst into tears.
Meng Wanzhou also burst into tears, sobbed and comforted: "Mom, I will come back to see you often."
"Yeah!" Mrs. Meng cried and nodded.
However, she knew that her daughter would go to work with Mu Yanheng after she got married. Although it was not far away in Fang County, it was not as convenient as traveling in the capital.
"You can't come back every day! Your mother-in-law is a bit... ugh! If she is wronged, she has nowhere to complain! Wuwu..."
Meng Wanzhou hurriedly advised: "Don't worry, I will treat myself well and won't let myself be wronged. As long as Mu Yanheng treats me well, I don't care what others do."
Mrs. Meng felt that her silly daughter was careless. She had to protect her at home, but she could only rely on her uncle at her husband's house.
"What you said is right, so you must win Yan Heng's heart. Only when a man is of the same mind as you can you stand firm in that family."
Thinking of Mr. Meng and those aunts, Mrs. Meng began to feel sorry for herself.
Meng Wanzhou knew her mother's thoughts and said many soothing words to comfort her.
Mrs. Meng also taught her many ways of getting along with husbands and wives, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, in order to make her daughter's married life smoother.
…
In the back office of Fang County.
Yin Wenxiu has always been ill and has been in a coma most of the time.
Mu Yanheng was a little anxious. Why did Meng Wanzhou not reply even after writing several letters?
Not only was there no reply to Meng Wanzhou's letter, there was also no reply to the letter he wrote to Yin Wenxiu's family, and no one came to take her back.
There's no way Yin Wenxiu is here all the time!
There are already gossips in the county government, whether good or bad.
He wanted someone to send her back to the capital, but her frail appearance made him uneasy. If something unexpected happened on the way, not only did he offend Princess Shumin, he would also feel guilty.
No, Wan Zhou must come and pick her up quickly!
When Mu Yanheng thought of this, he wrote a letter to Meng Wanzhou.
Suddenly I heard a weak voice behind me: "Brother Mu!"
Mu Yanheng turned around and saw Yin Wenxiu standing there, biting her pink lips, as soft and weak as a willow branch in the wind.
Mu Yanheng's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Can you get out of bed? Then I will have someone take you back tomorrow."
When Yin Wenxiu saw him happy, she was a little happy at first, thinking that he was happy because he was cured of his illness, but she didn't expect that he was so happy because he was finally able to send her away.
She is really angry now. Is this Mu Yanheng stupid or blind?
But what should she do if she finds Mu Yanheng like this very attractive?
There are only ten days left before he and Meng Wanzhou get married. It seems like they have to make a desperate move!
"Thank you, Brother Mu, for taking care of me and taking care of me. I'm getting better now, cough!" Yin Wenxiu said, coughing again, and her pale face turned green and white due to the cough.
She was wearing a moon-white silk dress, and her eyes were big and bright, but a little timid, like a newborn deer, ignorant and lovable.
"Drink some water." Mu Yanheng poured her a glass of water, "Your health is too bad."
This disease is so disastrous that it is really annoying.
Where is Meng Wanzhou like? She is in good health and full of energy.
Yin Wenxiu took over and said thank you, then smiled weakly and said: "I have often gone to the palace since I was a child, and those noble people beat and scolded me. They... they even think I am better-looking than them. It's such a cold winter.
Then he pushed me into the water, and the root of the disease came down."
As he spoke, he started crying, so pitiful that one couldn't help but feel pity for him.
Mu Yanheng couldn't help but clenched his fists in anger, "These people are simply..."
He didn't dare to say curse words. In the palace, anyone with a noble birth would know at a glance that he was the princess or the queen mother.
Yin Wenxiu sobbed softly, her thin shoulders shaking up and down, "It's okay, after all, the concubine and my grandmother care about me, and the emperor is my uncle. Blood is thicker than water, and he also takes care of me."
She will not reduce herself to dust by pretending to be pitiful. A wife who cannot help her husband will not be in love for a long time.
