Hearing his words, Mei Yuanqing's face darkened, she glanced at Wei Jingwei with a vague look in her eyes, patted his back and said, "Your mother has been dead for a few years, what are you talking about?"
Brother Cheng knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he sobbed a few times and shut up.
Wei Jingwei on the side looked at the interaction between the father and son, her eyes moved slightly, and then she smiled contemptuously.
This is to consider her a fool.
After Mei Yuanqing tidied up Brother Cheng's appearance, he glanced over coldly and said, "Tell me, Wei. What happened today."
Wei Jingwei looked at Brother Cheng and said softly: "Brother Cheng, did I bully you? Why don't you tell your father yourself what happened today."
Brother Cheng opened his mouth and shrank back angrily, as if he was ready to let her take the blame.
She was already disappointed with the child in front of her, so she didn't mind. She just raised her head and looked at Mei Yuanqing.
The tone was very indifferent.
"Now that I have decided that I am not treating Brother Cheng well, why not change my wife to educate him in the future. Maybe, this way I can feel at ease."
Wei Jingwei showed no signs of weakness and responded very calmly.
Brother Cheng, who had been shrinking behind Mei Yuanqing, finally looked a little moved after hearing these words. The complex expressions on his face kept changing.
Mei Yuanqing's jaw tightened, obviously he was really angry.
What he hates the most is Wei Jingwei's air of being aloof and condescending as a noblewoman from an aristocratic family. She is not half as good as Ruoruo.
"As his mother, you have the obligation to educate him well! Brother Cheng will be successful when he grows up, and you, the mother, will also benefit from it, right?"
Wei Jingwei's eyes remained motionless and she didn't say a word to what he said.
Taking advantage of it? I can still vividly remember the look of Brother Cheng's glaring eyes in the last life.
Turning his head to look at Xia Ning.
"Tell me what happened today."
Xia Ning was a little frightened. She raised her big eyes and looked at everyone helplessly. After a while, under the threat of Brother Cheng's eyes, she said invisibly, "I was the one who bumped into the young master."
Wei Jingwei knew at a glance that he had no choice but to tell the truth, but if he really told the truth, he would probably suffer more in the Mei Mansion in the future.
Mei Yunli is the most petty person. Even if it is a small matter at a young age, he will wait for an opportunity to retaliate when given the opportunity.
She still remembered an incident in her previous life. When Mei Yunli was eleven years old, he was playing Cuju with the children from his branch. Unexpectedly, someone scored consecutive goals, and he stopped playing in anger. Wei Jingwei thought he was having a childish tantrum, so it was over.
Unexpectedly, several of them later entered the private school she ran together when they were fourteen years old.
Relying on his high status, he would always hint to other students to isolate and bully him.
He also tore up his homework and hid his books. As a result, the child was repeatedly lectured by his husband.
The child was originally very talented in learning, but he became frustrated several times and couldn't stand the bullying.
Went home not long after.
She only found out about these things later, each and every one of them, how could it not make people shudder.
Wei Jingwei stopped embarrassing Xia Ning and turned to ask the boys who were following Mei Yunli.
"Tell me what happened today." After a pause, "I want to hear the truth. If what you tell is not true, I will take care of you. Think about it before you come back."
The boys looked at Wei Jingwei's majesty and swallowed the lies as soon as they came into their mouths.
One of them, an older man, probably couldn't stand it, so he whispered, "The young master said he was dirty, so he threw stones at him."
"You are talking nonsense! Father, they are talking nonsense! I am not."
Brother Cheng was very excited. He pointed at several people and quickly quibbled.
Mei Yuanqing listened to a few words from a few people and roughly understood what happened.
Seeing Brother Cheng's panicked face and twinkling eyes, his face darkened, "Are they telling the truth? I want to hear the truth."
"me......"
Brother Cheng was frightened. After all, he was still a five-year-old child.
I didn't say the reason for a long time. Everyone present was not stupid, so the result is self-evident.
Wei Jingwei was too lazy to continue talking to them and winked at Lian'er. She quickly stepped forward to pick up Xia Ning and left.
"I guess I and Brother Cheng have something to say, so I'll leave first."
"Wei Jingwei..." Mei Yuanqing wanted to explain something, but she had already left without looking back.
He was immediately annoyed.
I had wronged her...
Brother Cheng lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
Back in the courtyard, Wei Jingwei sat in the side hall, listening to the mother-in-law's reply below.
Lian'er walked in quickly and asked, "Is that person okay?"
Lian'er spat harshly, "The doctor said that the most serious injury was on the forehead, but fortunately it didn't hurt any vital parts. He just needs to take good care of himself. He is really a bad boy for being so vicious at such a young age."
Wei Jingwei glanced at the face-bearing mother-in-law and waved her hand to signal them to leave.
After they left, he gave Lian'er a helpless look and said, "You don't even have to be careful about what you say. These servants are still here."
Lian'er took a deep sip of tea and said, "I just can't stand the way he looks like this. He's obviously just an adoptive place, but he always makes noises. Now he still bullies the servants like this and doesn't treat them as human beings."
Seeing that she kept talking, she wanted to continue talking.
Wei Jingwei picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. Seeing her blank expression and her mouth being tightly gagged, she burst out laughing.
"Eat more and talk less. There is no reason why you are so angry. Just be careful with that child and ask the doctor to take good care of it and don't leave any scars. He is a good child."
Lian'er nodded repeatedly while chewing.
Su Er laughed happily on the side.
The master and servants enjoyed themselves for a while, and Su'er suddenly thought of that invitation.
She turned back to the inner room, picked it up from the dressing table, walked out and handed it to Wei Jingwei.
"Miss, someone from the Liu family sent this to me today. They said they will be hosting a banquet for guests in the next two days, and they will ask you to go with them."
Wei Jingwei looked at the delicately gilded invitation between her fingers, and when she held it close, there was a faint fragrance.
It's just such a simple invitation, but it takes so much effort. The Liu family’s heritage cannot be underestimated.
She nodded and placed the invitation gently on the table.
He took a sip of tea and said in a good mood: "Today's tea is good. It makes your mouth fluid. It's sweet and delicious."
Lian'er laughed so hard that she didn't look like a big maid, "Miss, today I made the tea according to your usual habit. Use hot water once, and then soak your fingers in warm water three times."
Wei Jingwei looked at the clear tea soup without comment.
"Really? It seems that I have been living a comfortable life these days, and the tea in my mouth has changed."
Early the next morning, the maid from Ci'an Hall came and told Wei Jingwei to go there immediately, saying that the wife had something to explain.
