Brother Cheng was startled, and then he looked aggrieved.
No one in the entire Mei Mansion has ever treated him like this, and he behaves the same way when he goes to Ci'an Hall on weekdays. Grandma still liked him very much, but why did she become like this when she arrived at Hongxia Courtyard?
He rubbed his two little hands together and called Wei Jingwei with a sullen face: "Mother..."
Wei Jingwei didn't look at him. She finished her meal and washed her hands under the service of the maid, then raised her eyes indifferently.
Brother Cheng took a step back, feeling extremely sad in his heart.
He felt that his mother was different. I don’t love myself anymore.
"Brother Cheng, you are not young now, and you have to learn these rules. If you act like this out of the house, people will say that you are not taught well by the elders in the family."
Brother Cheng opened his mouth, feeling a little unconvinced.
It's not that serious.
Wei Jingwei knew from his disapproving expression that he didn't listen carefully, but whatever, she didn't want to teach him seriously.
Afterwards, Brother Cheng leaned on the small table next to him and started reading.
But within a few minutes, he was either hungry or thirsty, or his arms and legs felt uncomfortable, and he made the little maids next to him run around.
Wei Jingwei didn't say anything, and watched quietly as he held a piece of mung bean cake in his left hand, and asked the maid to serve him while drinking tea.
So happy.
After eating snacks and drinking tea, when everyone thought he was finally going to start studying seriously.
Mei Yunli stood up and said to Wei Jingwei, "Mother, I want to enter the court."
"Okay, go ahead."
It's not that Wei Jingwei couldn't see his little thoughts. He was trying every means to avoid studying.
It has been a year since Mei Yunli entered the mansion. He has been provided with fine clothes and food all day long, and the maids and servants have also been waiting on him one after another.
I have long since lost my heart. There is also the cautious, respectful and polite look when he first entered the house.
She shook her head and smiled. Thanks to the old lady and Mei Yunqing, she thought that this baby of the Mei family was a malleable talent and would have great potential in the future.
Wei Jingwei continued to look at the book in her hand, and finally stood up and ordered Su'er beside her to spread paper and grind it.
She hasn't written for a long time. In the past, she was always burdened by the general affairs of Mei Mansion and had no time for herself at all. Now she has let go of many things, and in the future she wants to hand over all housekeeping rights.
What does the Mei family have to do with him?
After about half an hour, Wei Jingwei saw that Brother Cheng had not come back yet, so she just wanted to send her maid to have a look.
Then he saw an unfamiliar maid running in hurriedly.
Her hair was a little messy, there was a lot of sweat on her forehead, and she looked very anxious.
"Madam... Madam, something's wrong. The young master got into a fight with someone."
Wei Jingwei slowly put down the pen in her hand, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and said calmly: "Who are you fighting with?"
The little maid was a little surprised, why the lady didn't seem anxious at all.
But he quickly replied: "The young master got into a fight with the child of a servant in the mansion."
"Well, take me to see it."
After saying that, he followed the maid in the same direction.
As they approached, they were next to the garden. From a distance, he saw Brother Cheng standing there looking very arrogant, while the child beside him silently covered his forehead and lowered his face so that no one could see him. .
Seeing Wei Jingwei coming, Brother Cheng quickly looked aggrieved and ran toward her in small steps, wanting to throw himself into her arms for comfort.
Wei Jingwei avoided it calmly, just looking down at his injuries.
I saw that his clothes were not dirty, but there was a blush on his cheeks.
Then he asked: "What is going on?"
Brother Cheng immediately pursed his lips and pointed at the little boy wearing simple coarse linen clothes beside him and said, "It's him, mother. He beat me."
"Why did he hit you?"
"I was passing by here and he bumped into me. I said something to him, but he was not convinced and came up to hit me. Mother, my face hurts so much."
After hearing this, she couldn't help but find it funny. A servant's child was so bold and would attack his master when he committed a crime. This meant that she was being treated as a fool.
But Brother Cheng today is still a child, not the smart and cunning Mei Yunli from the previous life.
She looked at the boy beside her again.
He said softly: "What is your name?"
The little boy then looked up. He was wearing a patchwork piece of coarse cloth, and one of his arms exposed under the sleeves was very thin. But his eyes were very bright, and when he looked down, he saw that the wound on his forehead was still bleeding out, and it seemed that the injury was serious.
That pitiful look made Wei Jingwei a little worried.
I agree that they are all children of average age, but how come some people are so arrogant and domineering and act wantonly.
And some children can only survive in the cracks.
When he heard the question, he replied obediently: "Madam, my name is Xia Ning."
Wei Jingwei sighed inwardly when she saw his obedient and honest appearance.
Instructed Su'er, "Go find a doctor and give him a look."
Xia Ning thought that if she accidentally hurt this domineering young master, she would definitely be punished, but she didn't expect that the lady would be so gentle.
Just like his deceased mother. He couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.
Wei Jingwei saw that he was looking at her with a stupid look on his face and his bright eyes, and felt it was funny, so she smiled at him.
As the saying goes, a pair of eyes can see through a person. At first glance, this child seems to be an honest and honest person, not like the cunning slave that Brother Cheng said.
Brother Cheng on the side immediately became angry when he saw that Wei Jingwei not only did not punish him, but actually asked Xia Ning for a doctor.
He walked towards Xia Ning aggressively, and when everyone looked at him in surprise, he reached out and pushed him.
"You are not allowed to look at my mother! My mother is mine!"
The boys had no time to stop him. As soon as Xia Ning stood up, he was pushed to the ground again. A piece of skin was scratched on his elbow, and a trace of blood seeped out.
Wei Jingwei's expression turned cold and her eyes darkened.
"Brother Cheng, what are you doing!"
Brother Cheng showed no regrets after pushing the person away. He pouted and stubbornly refused to admit his mistake. After a while, he became more and more aggrieved.
He thought Wei Jingwei should help him unconditionally, why should she help a lowly servant.
"Mother, he is just a lowly servant, I am your son, how can you help him!"
After saying that, he opened his mouth and burst into tears.
Just as Wei Jingwei was about to say something, she heard Mei Yuanqing yelling angrily.
"Ms. Wei, you really disappoint me. I didn't expect that you would treat my son like this when I was away."
Brother Cheng cried even harder when he saw his father coming.
She threw herself into Mei Yuanqing's arms, hugged his neck and cried loudly, feeling so wronged.
He kept shouting, "Father, father, if you don't come here, my son will be bullied to death. I miss my mother so much. If she were here, she would never let me be bullied. When can I see her again?" Mother."
