"Take these away. Grandma won't need these. Let me see who dares to talk nonsense."
As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced sharply at Xu Huniang and her daughter.
Although Yao Hongwen was full of complaints, she was still in awe of Mrs. Yao and did not dare to say anything.
Meng Zhuoer just came with empty hands and left with large and small bags.
After returning home, Meng Xiangyi was naturally happy when he saw so many precious things suddenly appearing in the mansion. He smiled from ear to ear and couldn't help but praise Meng Zhuoer and said:
"Zhuo'er, you are indeed a good daughter of your father. Mrs. Yao seems to live quite a simple life on weekdays. I didn't expect that she has so many good things and her spending is not so generous."
Even Qin Meizhen was surprised when she saw this: What kind of ecstasy soup did Meng Zhuoer give Mrs. Yao, and why did she even give away the thousand-year-old ginseng.
Everyone knows that the thousand-year-old ginseng was specially given by Concubine Chu to Mrs. Yao to replenish her health. A strand of it is worth a fortune, but the one she sent was a whole plant.
Qin Meizhen thought that if these thousand-year ginseng and eight-treasure blood swallow were given to Feifei, the scars on Feifei's face would be healed, and maybe her appearance would be even better.
Meng Yuqing looked at the greedy appearance of the couple and frowned: "These are all given to Zhuo'er by Mrs. Yao. Don't touch these things. Although they will be put into the treasury of the Duke's palace, only Zhuo'er has the right to control them. You guys don’t even think about it.”
Meng Yuqing interrupted the couple's whims with a voice, her face solemn and leaving no room for doubt.
Qin Meizhen did not dare to say anything, but Meng Xiangyi relied on the fact that he was Meng Zhuoer's father, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Father, my son is Zhuoer's father. He is still young and not sensible. These things are not as good as..."
"You also know that you are Zhuo'er's father. Since you are a father, you have to show your self-esteem as a father and even think about the things that others give to your children. You have the nerve to be Zhuo'er's father."
Meng Yuqing refused to listen to his words and ordered the housekeeper to pack these things properly and not allow them to get contaminated at all.
Meng Zhuoer was also shocked by Meng Xiangyi's shamelessness.
"Grandpa, Mrs. Yao has given us many valuable things in the past few days. Do we want to return the gifts?"
This was not because she was overbearing, but because Mrs. Yao was too exaggerated. The things she gave her almost piled up into a mountain, and they were all valuable things.
"Actually, your Grandma Yao has this kind of temper. She was like this when she was young. I didn't expect that you would still be so generous when you are old."
Meng Yuqing was helpless, "It's not easy for you to refuse if she wants to give you something. She will also be angry. If you return the gift, she will probably think that you are being extravagant.
Your grandma Yao only has a son and a daughter. After her son married her daughter-in-law, she was no longer close to her. She has a clear sense of love and hate, so she shouldn’t give her son many things, and Concubine Chu is a very filial person, and she will give her whatever good things she has. Let me give you Grandma Yao. She has a lot of things after going back and forth. She and Mrs. Yao are just two old people, so they can eat as much as they want. "
Meng Zhuoer did feel Mrs. Yao's enthusiasm and unrestrainedness in the past two days, but she also heard that something was wrong.
"But I once heard you say that this young lady was the daughter-in-law chosen by Mrs. Yao herself. How could it be so tense?"
This was something she couldn't understand.
The Xu family is not a great noble, but with such an open-minded mother-in-law, why does Xu Xuniang still go against her mother-in-law?
Grandma Yao is a person who takes soft things rather than hard things, and it is absolutely easy to be soft.
"It seems that your Grandma Yao did something wrong in this matter. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was still very good at first. Later, Xu Xuniang's brother enriched himself with money to control floods, and Dali Temple found out.
The Minister of Dali Temple can also be regarded as a student of Mrs. Yao. If these two people are willing to go to Dali Temple to intercede, they may not need to be exiled to Lingnan. But you, Grandma Yao, are a hateful person. She hates such officials most in her life and refuses to help. Only then did the two of them form a feud. "
Meng Zhuoer understood, but after hearing this, she didn't think it was Grandma Yao's fault.
All the money allocated by the court is for life-saving purposes. One tael of silver and one thousand penny can buy hundreds of kilograms of rice. How many people can be saved?
Don’t blame Mrs. Yao for being angry.
Brother Xu Runiang ate steamed buns with human blood, which was the life of the disaster victims.
"Then we just accept things and don't return gifts?" Meng Zhuoer still felt that something was wrong.
"If you feel bad about it, next month will be your grandma Yao's fifty-first birthday. You can have some snacks on that day."
Meng Yuqing patted her head lovingly, with pride in her eyes.
Meng Zhuoer understands!
However, when she came to visit the next day, Meng Zhuoer still brought a gift, which was jasmine tea given by her grandfather.
Jasmine tea tastes fresh and elegant, and the price is not expensive.
Meng Zhuoer said: "Grandma, drinking more scented tea is good for your health. You can make a cup and try it every day. It's very fragrant."
"Okay, okay, Zhuo'er, you are interested."
Mrs. Yao smiled from ear to ear, full of joy.
Yao Hongwen rolled her eyes at the side and whispered: "Isn't it just a worthless can of jasmine tea? What's the big deal? After receiving so many good things, just give me this?"
Meng Zhuoer raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, but did not reply.
"If you can't speak, get out."
Mrs. Yao protects her calf, even if she is her granddaughter, she will not give her face.
Yao Hongwen was furious, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she could only hold her breath and leave.
But once she got back to the house she started breaking things.
"The dead old woman, the dead bitch Meng Zhuo'er, two rags that are working together in an alliance."
Xu Xuniang heard the noise and came in from outside: "I told you not to go to the old woman's room but you didn't listen. Now all she has in mind is the granddaughter of Duke Meng. You have grown so old, I don't even know what she gave you." "
"Can this damn old woman be able to tell who is the person closest to her? When she dies, are we going to collect her body, find land for her to buy, and burn paper money for her? Could it be that Meng Zhuoer? Did she dig graves and bury the bodies?"
Yao Hongwen was so jealous that she slammed the table.
