omeone is willing to work hard, shouldn't you be relieved and have some free time""Delivering a message to the madam, how could you be tired" NIDong shook her head repeatedly. She was happy to run err...Changxing Houfu.

Meng Jin Yao got drunk last night and didn't wake up until three poles in the sun today. She was still a little dazed after waking up and it took her a while to fully sober up.

She sat up and found that the sun was already strong outside, nearing midday. She was surprised that she had slept so soundly until this hour.

Soon, Meng Jingyao remembered that she seemed to have been drunk last night.

Then, memories of last night's drunken state flooded my mind.

She covered her face with both hands, feeling a bolt from the blue. She hadn't expected to be so unrestrained after drinking, and actually to forcibly harass her husband.

Meng Jin Yao took a deep breath, steadying her mind. She pretended to be drunk and said she didn't remember anything. Then she reached out and called for Lala Ling, asking a maidservant to come in and attend to her.

As Qing Qiu was dressing Meng Jin Yao, she suddenly said, "Madam, the second young lady and second young master returned today."

Meng Jin Yao looked puzzled: "Why did the second Miss suddenly come back"

Qingqiu replied, "The second young master has passed the imperial examination. The second young lady and the second young master are here to congratulate you. Also, with what happened to the eldest lady, she probably came to see her as well."

Meng Jin Yao listened and suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. My mind seems to be unable to keep up."

Qing Qiu smiled and said, "My lady was drunk last night, she's probably still a bit muddled. She spoke, then remembered something else, and continued, “Madam, the academy exams are about to begin. The third young master and the second young master from our uncle’s mansion will likely be back in a few days.”

The term "Third Young Master" refers to Gu Xiwen. Because Gu Xiuming was disowned by his clan, Gu Xiwen's ranking moved up one spot. The second young master of the Duke's mansion is Meng Chengzhang from Yongchang Duke's Mansion.

Meng Jin Yao nodded: "It should be these few days."

Qingqiu asked, "Madam, will you go back to the Meng family then"

Meng Jin Yao shook her head slightly: “No need, Dong's family is not Sun's family. She has no grievances with the second brother and won't harm Cheng Zhang. Besides, she doesn't have any biological children of her own. The twins born to Sun are quite resentful towards her. Dong is a smart woman, I believe she hopes the second brother will be more successful than Meng Cheng Xing, then stand by the second brother's side, finding a support for herself in the future, and having filial children to take care of her when she gets old.”

Qing Qiu was slightly stunned, then turned to say: "I seem to have overthought it."

-

After lunch.

Meng Jin Yao was feeling a bit bored and was thinking of something to do to pass the time. Just as she stood up, she saw Ning Dong walk in with a letter.

Her gaze fell on the envelope, and she asked curiously, "Níngdōng, who is this letter from"

Ning Dong strode forward, presenting the letter with both hands and replying, "Madam, this is a letter from Master. It's for you."

Master of the Table

Isn't that her cousin

Meng Jinyao was stunned and for a moment couldn't remember which of her cousins had written to her. She hadn't thought about having a cousin write to her before. When the Sun family hadn't been divorced, the nephews of the Sun family would have been her cousins according to seniority, but she wasn't on good terms with them. Could it be Yong'an, her cousin from the Luo familyuffer too. We're only benefiting from the Third House's success right now."Gu Xiuyan was stunned, for the first time looking at his younger brother with a serious and astonished gaze. He felt that aft...
