The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Chapter 561: Throw the Blame on Him

Meng Dongyuan saw his mother glaring at him with resentment. He felt somewhat guilty thinking that he was the culprit for his mother becoming like this. He turned around quickly, not daring to look at her for a moment, and sent away the doctor from the Ling Mansion and the maid who was serving them.

Seeing this, Old Madam Meng thought that this rebellious son was going to attack her. She felt a sense of crisis and was alert. She wanted to move backwards, but her body was not under her control and she could not move. She felt frustrated and helpless.

Meng Dongyuan took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at his mother again. He saw that his mother was staring at him vigilantly and fearfully. He suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure. In the past, he obeyed whatever his mother said and dared not disobey her in the slightest. But now, his mother was actually afraid of him. This was the first time in his life.

He raised a meaningful smile, with a warning in his eyes, and said slowly: "Mother, you should have a good rest first. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with the doctor's treatment, your illness will definitely get better."

He emphasized the words "cooperate well".

When Mrs. Meng heard this, her pupils suddenly shrank, and her face was full of disbelief. She understood what her son meant. If she didn't cooperate, her son would definitely be cruel to her. But he was really her good son. He turned against her for a woman. What good was Dong? Wasn't Zhao a hundred times more obedient and virtuous than Dong? If you marry a daughter-in-law, you have to marry an obedient and docile one. Moreover, he brought a daughter with outstanding appearance. When the time comes, look for a good marriage. The marriage will add benefits to the Meng family. How great is that.

Zhao suddenly turned to look at Meng Dongyuan. She really overestimated this man. No matter how terrible the old lady was, she was still Meng Dongyuan's mother. Meng Dongyuan was very respectful and obedient to his mother. She thought Meng Dongyuan would feel guilty for making his mother so angry, but she didn't expect him to have no regrets at all.

Meng Dongyuan bent down and gently tucked the quilt for Madam Meng. Then he looked at Zhao and said, "Madam, mother needs to rest. We won't disturb her and let's go out first."

"Hey, good."

Zhao responded in a submissive manner, looked at Meng Dongyuan, then at Old Madam Meng, and finally followed Meng Dongyuan away with an embarrassed look on her face.

Seeing this, Old Madam Meng was very angry. Although it was said that the husband should follow his lead, sometimes it was not a good thing for the daughter-in-law to be too obedient to her son. Even in this situation, she did not dare to refute a word. It was really in vain that she loved her so much.

After leaving the outer room, Meng Dongyuan frowned, looked at Zhao with a heavy gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao, you used to act pretentiously in front of mother to deceive her trust. With mother's support, you can act arrogantly in front of me, but from now on, I have the final say in the Meng family."

He paused and said meaningfully, "But don't worry, I won't divorce you. But if you still want to stay in the Meng family, I think you know what to say and what not to say. You have always been filial. Your mother is so sick, I know you are worried. Now go to the temple and chant sutras for your mother. When your mother gets better, you can leave the temple. If you are sincere, I believe your mother will get better soon."

After hearing this, Zhao knew that her husband wanted her to spend the rest of her life in the Buddhist temple, because he could not make the old lady recover. She changed her previous submissive attitude in front of Madam Meng, met his gaze, and said, "My husband, the eldest daughter learned that her mother was ill and will come back to visit her mother tomorrow. Although I am the stepmother, I have to greet the daughter who married out and returned to her parents' home. I am afraid it is not appropriate to stay in the Buddhist temple and not see her. Otherwise, people who don't know will think that I, as a stepmother, don't welcome my daughter back to her parents' home."

"What did you say?" Meng Dongyuan's face changed, "How did she know?"

Zhao replied calmly: "I thought that since my mother was so ill, she, as her granddaughter, should come back to visit her. Otherwise, people would gossip about her, so I told her about this."

Meng Dongyuan's face was terribly gloomy: "What did you say to her?"

Zhao smiled and said, "Of course I will tell you the truth." She paused and said, "My husband, the emperor hates people who are not filial. You have made mother so angry. If this gets out, I don't know if you can bear the crime of being unfilial."

Meng Dongyuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. The last official who was convicted for being unfilial had been dismissed from office, severely beaten with thirty sticks, and exiled to Lingnan. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "What does she want?"

His eldest daughter is not someone who is easy to deal with, and his son-in-law is no pushover either. Fortunately, the eldest daughter is not close to her mother, and there has always been a rift between them. She will definitely not stand up for her mother, and she doesn't bring him misfortune immediately, which proves that there is something profitable in him.

How could Zhao know what Meng Jinyao wanted, but in front of Meng Dongyuan, she still pretended to be mysterious: "What she wants, won't you know when you meet her?"

Zhao saw him frowning in thought and continued, "My husband, I don't know where Chengxing has gone. He hasn't been home for several days. His mother has suffered such a serious accident. As a grandson, he should be by her side to show his filial piety. Chengzhang is studying at Lingshan Academy and doesn't know about this. I think we should send him a message and ask him to ask for leave from his teacher to come back to visit her so as to show his filial piety."

When Meng Dongyuan heard the first half of Zhao's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had been awakened by a word, so much so that he automatically ignored the second half of the words. He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and pretended to be angry, "Don't mention Chengxing to me! Isn't it because of him that mother is like this? Mother hoped that he would study well, hope that he would have a promising future, and bring honor to the family. Who would have thought that he would fool around with bad friends and even stay overnight at Baihua Tower. When mother found out, she was so angry that she lost her balance and accidentally fell down."

Zhao was shocked by his shameless and false remarks and looked at her husband in disbelief.

She thought to herself: Could it be that Meng Dongyuan was a cook in his previous life? He is so good at passing the buck.

Although Chengxing was raised astray and is not a good person, Meng Dongyuan, as a father, in order to clear himself, directly and without hesitation threw the blame on his son who knew nothing about the matter. He is even more of a bad person. Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Meng Dongyuan is even worse than a wild beast. He cannot bear the sin of being unfilial, but his son can?

"I have been so worried about my mother's coma these past few days that I have forgotten about that evil creature. I will send someone to capture him right away."

After Meng Dongyuan finished speaking, he strode out. At this moment, he was not worried that Zhao would talk nonsense. After all, the eldest daughter thought that he was profitable. Zhao wanted to depend on the eldest daughter, so he would definitely listen to her and would not say anything that he shouldn't say for the time being.

Zhao frowned, feeling that she had to inform Meng Jinyao about this matter first so that Meng Jinyao would have a plan to deal with it when she came tomorrow. She immediately went back to her courtyard to write a letter and asked her trusted maid to deliver the letter to Meng Jinyao. Then she wrote another letter and asked someone to send it to Lingshan Academy to Meng Chengzhang. However, she did not write why Madam Meng fell ill, but only said that Madam Meng was seriously ill and asked him to come back to visit her.
