Chapter 91: Born Against the Grain

the reason why he agreed to marry her, he couldn't even say himself. It seemed like fate had intervened, and he ended up marrying her.Qi Yunwen held back a smile and teased, "Not interested Or are you...As soon as the words left her lips, Meng Jin Yao's footsteps faltered, and she turned to look at her grandmother. Though she had just scolded her with fury moments ago, her demeanor was now calm again, her eyes filled with warmth.

It's the same, when asking someone for help, you should have a respectful attitude and be considerate.

If this had happened before, I would have scolded her fiercely for being unfilial, heartless, and not considering the family.

She smiled and asked, "Grandma, is there anything else"

Madame Meng took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart as much as possible, and spoke in a gentle tone: "Ai Yao, Cheng Xing is your own younger brother.

"

Meng Jin Yao lightly nodded. "I know, and then"

Elder Madam Meng moved her with emotion and persuaded her with reason: "Ai Yao, Grandmother knows you resent your mother for encroaching on your biological mother's dowry, but your third brother is innocent. Even if you are angry with your mother, you shouldn't hold it against your third brother."

Ling Shan Academy is the most sought-after academy in the world for scholars. Entering Ling Shan Academy means being one step closer to passing the imperial examinations and becoming a Jinshi. Your third brother has potential, and his success will benefit you as well. In the future, he will be able to support you, and you will have face in your husband's family.

Meng Jin Yao sneered, "Meng Jin Yu did something wrong, and he wants me to take the blame for him Grandma, are you sure this person who can't tell right from wrong will support me"

Hearing this, Madam Meng's face darkened, and her voice turned cold. "What nonsense are you talking about How could Chengxing do such a thing And Yu has always been well-behaved. It's you who are disobedient and bully your younger siblings. Even Yu pleaded for you despite past grievances."

Meng Jin Yao calmly looked at her grandmother. Her grandmother's voice was firm, laced with disgust for her. She chuckled softly, being favored was different, blindly trusting the other party's words, how could one explain when they were disliked It was all just sophistry.

However, even a proud woman like Madam Meng would likely not accept from the bottom of her heart that her most beloved grandchildren were behaving so poorly, while her least favorite granddaughter was virtuous. Therefore, she firmly believed in the truth she desired, deep down inside.

Grand Madam Meng frowned: "Grandma will ask you one more time, are you truly not going to help with Chengxing's matter"

Meng Jinyao responded without hesitation: "No."

In the cold winter, Meng Dong saw that she wouldn't give in and was also anxious. She questioned her, "A Yao, Cheng Xing is your brother. For you, it's just a matter of moving your lips. For such a small matter, why not help your brother"

Meng Jin Yao said leisurely, "Since father says it's a small matter, why not go and speak to my husband yourself Oh, I almost forgot, you wouldn't dare to find my husband, or else you wouldn't have put on a play to get me back."

Sticking her finger in his chest, Meng Dongyuan flew into a rage, "Don't forget you're the daughter of the Meng family. Without the Meng family, you wouldn't even be qualified to be a Houfu wife! The Meng family is your backing. If the Meng family isn't doing well, do you think you'll have it easy in your husband's house"

Meng Jin Yao jokingly asked, "Father, why not sever ties with me Let me have absolutely no support whatsoever and see if I can fare well in my husband's family"

Meng Dongyuan was shocked and angry. She rebuked, "You, you ungrateful daughter! The Meng family raised you for so long, this is how you repay us Now that your wings are hardened, and you've married into a good family, you want to fly away, is that right"

Meng Jinyu's face was calm.

Mrs. Meng was furious, and she picked up her teacup and threw it at Meng Jiny Yao. Luckily, Meng Jiny Yao dodged in time, and the teacup brushed past her.

The teacup crashed to the ground with a loud "clatter".

Broken.

Seeing this, Madam Meng became even angrier. She said in a hateful voice: "What a misfortune for our family! How could our Meng family have such a rebellious daughter It's not enough that she's cold and unfeeling, she's also a jinx who brings misfortune to her kin. I shouldn't have listened to your grandfather and kept you, this jinx. Otherwise, Chengyu wouldn't have been killed by you."

Hearing the two words "Chengyu", Meng Jinyang's face stiffened, her fist clenched inside her sleeve, her nails digging into the flesh of her palm but refusing to let go. She glared at Sun with a sinister look and sneered: "Madam Meng knows best why Chengyu died."

Sun's face changed slightly, and the next moment she lowered her head and wept silently, choking out, "Ai Yao, I have already returned your mother's dowry to you. What else do you want Cheng Yu's death is your fault. This is something everyone has seen with their own eyes. Now you want to slander me and push the blame onto me Back then, when your mother asked you to stay in the Buddhist hall to dispel the bad luck, you cried and refused to go. It was I who pleaded for you."

Meng Jinyao looked at her putting on an act, her eyes dark and unreadable. Her voice was soft and eerie as she said, "Madam Meng, I hope you can still say this with such conviction in the future."

Sun's wiping of her tears paused for a moment.

In the depths of winter, Meng Dong saw his wife weeping with grievance. He roared in anger, "You unfilial daughter! You have no respect for your elders! You are utterly lawless!" With that, he suddenly rose to his feet, took a few steps forward, and raised his hand, ready to slap Meng Jin Yao across the face.

However, Meng Jinyao wouldn't stand there and let him slap her. The moment he raised his hand, she grabbed Qingqiu and took two steps back, dodging his blow.

Meng Dongyuan never expected to hit a wall, and immediately became angry and annoyed: “You rebellious daughter, you dare to hide”

Meng Jin Yao blinked innocently: "Father, how can you say that I'm helping you, aren't I If I went back to Changxing Houfu with these palm prints, what would my husband's family think when they asked about it Don't you think someone would be unlucky"

Men Dong's expression suddenly changed.

Even Lady Meng and Mrs. Sun didn't look good. It wouldn't be surprising if this white-eyed wolf told his in-laws exactly what happened.

But ginger is still hot after all. Old Madam Meng's face was gloomy as she stared at her, her eyes terrifying, putting pressure on her: "Don't forget that you are the daughter of the Meng family. If your natal family brings shame, do you think you can stay out of it"

Meng Jinyu knew they were afraid of losing face, she curled her lips and smiled innocently: "Grandmother, didn't you forget I was born rebellious, I don't obey discipline, if I'm unhappy, one day when I go crazy, it wouldn't be impossible for me to embarrass my family again. After all, I did this not long ago."

Madam Meng was instantly overcome with fury, her blood pressure surging. She almost fainted, her eyes dimming with rage. Her fingers trembled slightly as she pointed at Meng Jin Yao and roared, "You wretch!"

"My grandmother was quite fiery when she scolded someone, her body must be very healthy. I'll head out now."

After Meng Jinyao finished speaking, she didn't wait for their response. She pulled Qingqiu along and left Rongfutang quickly, not wanting to waste any more time arguing with them. The maidservants in Rongfutang didn't dare to stop them.

She hadn't gone far, and the sounds from inside the house could still be heard.

"What a disgrace! How could our Meng family produce such a scoundrel"

"Mother, please calm down. Ayao is young and doesn't understand. In a couple of years when she grows up, she will understand."

"She is cold-hearted and unrighteous, not even helping her own brother. How can we expect her to become sensible in the future"

After leaving Rongfutang, Meng Jin Yao took a deep breath and didn't linger for a moment. She left with light steps, passing through the Moon Cave Gate, she met a young man hurrying by. The young man saw her and hurried forward to ask, "Elder sister, did they make things difficult for you". Did something happen If someone bullied you, I'll take care of it right away and punish those blind maidservants properly.""No, nobody is bullying me.Li Wan'er shook her head gently, tears welling u...
