Lady Meilin is seduced by her green tea brother-in-law everyday-Chapter 315: Zhenzhen visits again!
Some of the ladies laughed. Mei Mei hid her face behind a pillow.
"Nobody should say another word." She said and pouted. "I definitely don’t want anyone saying something like this is why the Meilin list was created. I did not mean what about foolish blind love like the one I thought I was in when I run off. I meant....." She stopped her tirade and sighed. "You know what, I won’t ask anymore questions. Just point me to the bridal shop and let’s begin trying on those maid of honor dresses."
The butler walked to the entrance and cleared his throat and announced. "Miss Kang Zhenzhen is here."
Zhilan stood up and Mei Mei pulled her down.
"Isn’t she the next Empress?" Zhilan whispered.
Mei Mei shrugged. "Maybe or maybe not. Either way, she is not one yet so we don’t need to stand and curtsy. Just treat her like any other person for now."
Despite Mei Mei saying this, a lot of the ladies smiled a little more tensely than before. Madam Feng curtsied to Zhenzhen and she rushed away to the kitchen to bring her something to eat. Being in the good graces of a future Empress was not a bad place to find oneself.
"Zhenzhen..." Mei Mei called the young woman with a welcoming smile on her face. "I was not expecting to see you hear."
Zhenzhen smiled back at Mei Mei while looking at Zhilan and Jun Yi. The unvoiced message in her eyes was more than clear, she was expecting one of the two women to move so that she could sit next to Mei Mei.
Zhilan weighed her options. She was not the next Empress and she was not a Jun. Obviously, she was the one that needed to move, so she did.
Rose made room for her while Zhenzhen sat down. "Thank you so much Miss Chen."
Zhilan wanted to snort. In her mind, she was thinking, "you are not yet an Empress but you are already rushing to claim your own Jun. Do you think they live to exist as supporting characters for royals?"
She did not say so but she just smiled back at Zhenzhen, "Anything you need your....Miss Kang."
Nobody missed that unfinished "Your....." they all knew she was about to finish it with "Highness."
With Zhenzhen’s presence, the ladies maintained some silence for a while and they kept sending gestures to Mei Mei, urging her to say something. All of them had grown up being cautioned to watch what they said around royalty or future loyalty.
One wrong thing might put one on a hit list they did not even know existed.
"It is such a lovely day." Meihua said.
"Ha!" Rose laughed. "It sucks. When was the last time that it rained in the summer? I think this was artificially manufactured rain which the monks concocted to make the Empress’s funeral auspicious like the bright light on her fake body."
"Ha-haaa...." Jun Yi squeezed her eyes as she squealed. "That is funny because she did get a lot of plastic surgeries so her real body was fake as well."
Madam Feng entered the living room, clearing her throat. Her eyes shot a warning Jun Yi’s way. "Say less my child," they said. "Anymore and I will sew your lips shut." They added.
Jun Yi pouted.
Mei Mei covered her mouth and giggled. Rose shook her head. Jun Yi was the bright but she could also be the most insensible Jun. Sometimes it was adorable and sometimes it called for a smack on the back of her head.
Zhenzhen was not a fool. She could sense that her arrival had ruined the loud friendly atmosphere so she decided to break the ice. She needed these women to like her, that was why her aunt had sent her over after seeing a picture on Zhilan’s weibo showing off their little gathering and cheesecakes.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhenzhen, I hope that I am not intruding on your get together." She said in a sugary voice.
She was younger than them and she had that cute kind of aura. It was hard for the women not to find her likeable.
"Oh no, you did not intrude. We were just discussing my upcoming wedding." Meihua replied.
"Oh yes!" Zhenzhen’s eyes lit up. "I heard that you are to marry Duan Siping. We went to the same high school, he was always at the top of his class when it came to grades. He is also a great basketball player and excellent swimmer. A lot of girls liked him."
Meihua smiled. "It sounds like he was popular."
"I wonder if he mentioned that in his thesis." Zhilan choked back laughter.
Mei Mei and the others laughed. Only Zhenzhen frowned because she was lost. What did a thesis have to do with the facts she had just shared?
"Was he a player relationship wise?" Rose asked Zhenzhen.
"Ladies....." Meihua started.
"Shhh." Mei Mei hushed her. "As your friends, we have to do this research for you so that you don’t end up being cheated. Speaking from personal experience, I urge you to learn whatever you can about that man before taking the leap."
"He was not into girls." Zhenzhen leaned forward and pitched in before someone else could beat her to the punch.
"And boys?" Taiyuan asked.
Everyone turned their heads in her direction. She asked that question a little too quickly.
Taiyuan was about to help herself to the sponge cheesecake Madam Feng had just brought when she saw their eyes and shrugged. "What? Are we going to sit here and pretend that it does not happen? Aside from the beautiful daosi of the Su family, there are no other openly gay noble men. And yet, Chong Hengzhi who married An Manli was caught in bed with another man by the peepstar on the couple’s honeymoon. Have you forgotten the scandal?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
They all shook their heads. The Jun women present especially because the An family was their mother’s maternal family.
Mei Mei did not know what had happened in the family at the time of the scandal but Rose and Yi Yi did. The couple had divorced immediately but the man had signed the papers with a bloody nose, broken ribs and he was using crutches to walk.
The Chong family did not do business with the An, Chi and Jun families anymore. This was because they knew Chong Hengzhi was gay and yet hid it and committed marriage fraud. Of course they denied having any knowledge of this.
But the damage was done none the less and the Chong’s compensated the An’s for all the expenses they spent on the wedding.
"So, which is it? What rumors did you hear?" Taiyuan asked Zhenzhen.
