Chapter 2143 Love Rival

When talking about Mr. Wan's only son, Mrs. Hou was also very calm.

Her words were full of satisfaction with her current life. It seemed that Master Wan was more than a little bit more favorable to her than Mr. Shu.

Shu Yu smiled and said, "This is good. If you are doing well, I will feel relieved."

"You're not bad, you've become the head of the county. When you came home and told me the news earlier, I was stunned for a moment. I thought that becoming a village king was already a big deal, and if I wanted to go further, I would have to wait for Mr. Meng. If you pass the Jinshi exam, I will earn you a royal wife later. I didn’t expect that..."

Mrs. Hou really lamented that it had only been a few years, from an exiled prisoner to a township monarch, and then to a county magistrate. Seeing that Mr. Meng was about to become an official, Shu Yu would only go higher and higher in the future.

Shu Yu did not say that Meng Yuncheng did not intend to become an official, but just lowered his eyes and smiled.

The two chatted about the current situation. Hou probably rarely went out and there were not many people with whom she could chat, let alone an old friend like Shu Yu who was close to her.

Just as they were talking about Shu Qing, Ying Xi suddenly walked in and whispered, "Girl, a young lady came outside and said that her husband's family belongs to Mr. Zhou, the Minister of Civil Affairs."

Shu Yu was stunned, officials? ?

She didn't know any official minister at all.

Ah, by the way, Mr. Wan is also from the Ministry of Personnel.

Shu Yu suddenly turned her head to look at Hou, who immediately reacted, "It should be her."

"who?"

"The girl from Yongchang Houfu."

Shu Yu said she was still confused.

Seeing this, Mrs. Hou hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Ayu, you know that Mr. Meng is sincere to you, right?"

The corner of Shu Yu's mouth twitched, "Aunt Hou, just say it directly. I still believe Ayun."

Mrs. Hou breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right. Let me tell you, when Mr. Meng was still the young master of the Gong family, many people actually proposed marriage to him. It was just because he was a foreigner, and He is not very smart, so those real legitimate daughters of wealthy families will definitely not be able to take his turn. But one of them fell in love with Mr. Meng’s face. This person is Miss Cen from the Yongchang Hou Mansion. .”

Shu Yu suddenly realized, "It turns out to be her."

At that time, the Yongchang Hou Mansion was at its peak, and the eldest daughter of his family fell in love with Meng Yuncheng. Gong Qiu couldn't tell how happy he was. Just when he was trying to win over Yongchang Houfu, the opportunity came to his door.

But Meng Yuncheng didn't want to marry, and just as Mrs. Gong didn't want Meng Yuncheng to have such a powerful in-law.

The two hit it off immediately, one poisoned Meng Yunzheng, and the other followed his plan and became a "mute" and left the capital.

As a result, Miss Cen will naturally not be able to marry Meng Yuncheng.

Madam Hou said, "Tell me, the eldest girl of the Cen family, she doesn't know how much she likes Mr. Meng. The two of them have never met each other a few times, and I heard they haven't even spoken to each other. But Mr. Meng has such a face. She is so seductive. The eldest daughter of the Cen family was raised pampered in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. I heard that her parents and brothers doted on her very much, so she had a bad temper. She was indulgent and willful, and she insisted on marrying Mr. Meng after she fell in love with him. Later, I couldn’t get married, and somehow this matter got spread.”

"So Miss Cen's reputation has become not very good. If the Yongchang Marquis Mansion wants to marry her up, it will have to be married down. Four years ago, she married the youngest son of the family of the Minister of Civil Affairs."

Otherwise, given the status of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, their legitimate daughter would have no choice but to marry the prince.
