During the chat, the concierge came again to send a message, saying that the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Wang Shilang, was visiting the house. She had gone to Songmao Hall to see the old lady and would come to Yan Yuxuan later.
Princess Yanling asked carefully about the background of Wang Shilang's daughter, and learned that she had spoken to Lin Jinyan, and she had a good impression of her.
When Lin Wanrong and Wang Huizhao came to Yan Yuxuan together, after a few people were seated, Wang Huizhao handed a lucky bag to Lin Jinyan with a smile:
"My mother and I went to the temple to beg for this a few days ago. We said it was very effective and asked Miss Lin to accept it."
After Lin Jinyan thanked him and accepted it, Wang Huizhao said again:
"Seeing that your face is indeed fine, I'm relieved. Originally, I was going to stay with my mother today, but the general's wife just prescribed a medicinal bath for my mother two days ago, and asked my mother not to be exposed to wind while taking the medicine. , my mother didn’t come.”
Lin Jinyan: "I have recovered completely. Let my wife have a good life and take good care of her. We will meet again when we have the opportunity in the future."
Wang Huizhao: "It's all because of you that the general's wife was able to go and treat my mother. Before she came, my mother said thank you for making me happy."
Lin Jinyan: "There's no need to be so polite. Didn't you also help me talk to my sister at the birthday banquet that day?"
Lin Wanrong also thanked him. After Wang Huizhao heard this, he denounced Zhao Huaqiong, and Princess Yanling also joined in the denunciation. The more they scolded, the more they felt like each other, and they became closer at that moment.
After talking about the Zhao family, he also talked about the Xiao family.
Wang Huizhao: "My brother-in-law's family is related to the Xiao family, so he knows more than others. Mr. Xiao was born in a poor family, and his family fell into decline when he was young. He has no background and is able to become a second-rank official. Mrs. Xiao’s natal family connections were paved with money.”
"When Mr. Xiao didn't enter the officialdom, he got engaged to the Meng family from a small family. In the two years after Meng's marriage, the Xiao family relied entirely on the Meng family to support them. It was difficult for Mr. Xiao to have a baby. However, she was favored by the current Mrs. Xiao. For the sake of Mr. Xiao's future, Meng reluctantly agreed and let Mrs. Xiao enter as an equal wife. "
Princess Yanling: "Mrs. Xiao is an equal wife? I have never heard of this. Where did that Meng family go? Why have I never seen her before?"
Wang Huizhao: "Mrs. Xiao's grandfather was Tang Ge Lao, the head of the family. It was easy to suppress such things back then. I heard that before entering the government, Mrs. Xiao treated Meng with courtesy. Since she gave birth to Xiao Siming, she has been everywhere. He bullied Meng's mother and son, and later forced Meng to sign a divorce letter. In anger, Meng fled the capital with her son."
Feng Siyao: "So, it has been rumored recently that Shangshu Xiao suddenly had a son. Is he the son of the Meng family?"
Wang Huizhao nodded and said: "It is this man who has a bad fate. He was the eldest son of Mr. Xiao, but he has not been protected by the Xiao family. Now Mrs. Xiao does not allow him to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan."
Lin Wanrong: "What about the Meng family?"
Wang Huizhao: "He has died a long time ago. I heard that he died of illness just after leaving the capital."
After hearing this, several people sighed and sighed for a while.
Princess Yanling said angrily: "This is called good and evil being rewarded! She snatched a husband, forced Meng's mother and son away, and even killed Meng's life. Now her son does not know whether he is alive or not and is infamous. He really deserves it! That Xiao The minister is not a good person either!"
Feng Siyao agreed: "If he hadn't been greedy for power and future, Mrs. Xiao wouldn't have been able to get in. If he hadn't indulged Mrs. Xiao, Meng wouldn't have been forced to leave. He is indeed a bastard."
