"Who knows what you are thinking, maybe you are blaming me, the Liu family, for marrying your father a second wife!"
"You bastard! Shut up!"
The old lady who had been silent all this time threw the tea cup in her hand to the ground. With a crisp sound, the tea cup broke into pieces. Liu Rui'er immediately knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she knelt down and moved towards Liu Meihua's direction. .
Mrs. Ye stroked her daughter's soft face and saw hesitation on her face.
After a while, he said, "If you think I have wronged her, then ask someone to search the yard."
Liu Ruier opened her mouth and wanted to say something, then she saw the maids and women quickly heading towards her yard.
She seemed to have lost all her strength, and sat limply on the ground with her head lowered.
Wei Jingwei closed her eyes. This spice needs to be added continuously, so something must be found in Liu Ruier's yard.
As for how she knew, it was Mei Yuanqing who told her about it in her previous life.
At that time, Mei Yuanqing had reached the position of minister, so naturally there were eyes and ears in the palace. She also heard a lot about the strife in the harem.
Every spice has its own unique taste. As soon as she entered the room, she thought of this person in her memory. She never thought that it was true.
The things were quickly searched out from Liu Ruier's yard.
When Liu Meihua looked at Liu Ruier who was kneeling on the ground, she already looked disgusting.
"I'm so good to you, why...why do you treat me like this? Although you are a concubine, I have never abused you because of this, and I still treat you like a biological sister."
Liu Ruier sneered, her dark eyes filled with madness.
"If you open your mouth and keep it shut, you are a concubine. How do you treat me? What about the others! I am still a humble concubine. No matter where I go, others only see you, Liu Meihua, the eldest daughter of the Liu family. Who knows about me, Liu Rui'er! Where am I? Worse than you!"
The old lady rubbed her forehead, waved her hand and said impatiently: "Hurry up and pull it down!"
The small handful of Liu Ruier's body was dragged out by the mother-in-law with a strong force. Knowing that she was out of favor now, the mothers-in-law acted very rudely. During the walk, she saw Liu Ruier almost falling down several times.
Mrs. Ye comforted the sad Liu Meihua, and the two of them sat down. After the maids fetched water and cleaned up for them, she looked at Wei Jingwei with a gentle face.
"Thanks to you today. If you hadn't found out, I'm afraid Hua'er would have been an unjust ghost until his death. My aunt will remember your kindness, and if anything happens in the future, just find her."
"Thank you cousin, Meihua is grateful from the bottom of her heart." Liu Meihua cried, her voice was very hoarse.
She was waiting for this sentence.
"It doesn't matter, we are all a family."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and nodded, "Yes, we are all one family." After speaking, she turned around and ordered, "Aunt Jin, go get the things from the wooden box under my bed."
The nanny, who was wearing a dark green vest and a silver hairpin on her head, nodded and left.
Soon he came back holding an old-looking box.
"Open it and take a look."
Mrs. Zhang signaled Wei Jingwei to take it with a look of sadness in her eyes.
As soon as I took the wooden box into my hands, I felt it was heavy inside. She opened it and saw that it was some jewelry. It's just that these jewelry look a little old, as if someone has used them.
Zhang glanced sadly at the things inside, then picked up a gold lock and held it in the palm of her hand.
"These were worn by your mother when she was still in the boudoir, and now they are given to you. Take them as a thought."
Wei Jingwei's eyes were moist when she looked at the gold locks, beaded necklaces and other items inside.
She was fourteen when her mother died suddenly. At that time, she didn't know anything about life and death. She just watched her mother, who was once stunningly beautiful, decaying day by day on the bed, like a flower that has failed to bloom.
"Thank you...Grandma."
Sitting on the carriage on the way back, Wei Jingwei looked at the wooden box in her hand.
Today's harvest was not small. Although she wanted to get closer to the Liu family, other methods were really time-consuming and laborious. But fortunately, Liu Ruier came out like this. It’s actually getting twice the result with half the effort.
At first she thought her grandmother just wanted to give her a box of gold and silver jewelry, but that was okay.
It was already evening when she returned to Hongxiayuan. She went home without having dinner at Liu's house. Now her son was a little hungry.
"Today I just want a pickled fish, a spicy chicken, and a stir-fried green vegetable."
She told Lian'er to go to the kitchen and ask for food.
As soon as she left, Su'er helped her wash her face and change her clothes. After the makeup was washed off her face and she put on casual and comfortable clothes, Wei Jingwei felt a lot more comfortable.
These days, she and her two maids have been concentrating on researching the new powder, and it has begun to show results. She decided to take the recipe to the shop under her name and try to sell it tomorrow.
Since you are determined to get out of here, money is essential.
It is not easy to leave the Mei family. Moreover, if she returns home with Li, her stepmother will not be able to tolerate her. In this case, we can only find another way.
As the saying goes, money can make the world go round. With money in her hands, she didn't believe she couldn't live her own way.
Sitting in front of the table, Yingbai's fingers gently rubbed her forehead, and a few strands of hair on her temples fell down by her ears. At this moment, Wei Jingwei looked completely different from the past.
It is said that she is a girl who has not yet left the government. I am afraid no one will question her.
Mei Yuanqing saw this scene as soon as he entered the door, and his originally cold face softened instantly.
The candlelight at night cast a soft light on Wei Jingwei's face.
Wei seems to have been so peaceful in the past, her temperament has always been demure and gentle, and she doesn't like to pester others. She was just a cute little girl when we first met her, but in the blink of an eye she was diligently taking care of her in the house.
Thinking about it this way, if there was no Ruoruo, she would be an excellent choice...
Mei Yuanqing thought about it, and suddenly he had a feeling for her that he didn't usually have in his heart.
My throat felt itchy, and I swallowed subconsciously.
Wei Jingwei looked toward the door and saw that Mei Yuanqing was coming. The calm and comfortable expression on her face disappeared, and the aura around her suddenly became alienated.
"It's so late. Is there anything wrong with you?"
I saw her being cold and distant, looking businesslike.
The feeling that originally arose in Mei Yuanqing's heart immediately disappeared.
He found a chair not far away and sat down.
"Brother Cheng is already quite old now. I want to discuss with you that it's time to hire a teacher for him."
Wei Jingwei lowered his eyes and looked at the flickering candlelight on the table quietly.
"It's up to me to make the decision."
She has not forgotten that in her last life, she went home and begged her father to find a famous teacher for brother Cheng, but was severely beaten by her stepmother. She almost suffered all the grievances before she asked her father Wei Yanzhong to come forward and let Guo Mingyi Come and be Mei Yunli’s teacher.
Guo Mingyi has a high status among literati and has countless disciples. How many powerful people in the court today are his disciples?
Anyone who comes from his family will definitely not be helpless when he comes to the court.
