It seems that Aunt Ruan is really a smart person. What she saw that day was enough for her to think about so much. She continued to ask: "Maybe it's because Aunt Zhang treats Brother Cheng so well on weekdays, so the two of them The relationship is closer.”
Aunt Ruan shook her head repeatedly and said anxiously: "I don't think so. I think this is what Aunt Zhang did on purpose. Everyone in this house knows that Brother Cheng is the only young master in the future..."
Wei Jingwei understood her words, but was a little disappointed.
She originally thought that Aunt Ruan was a powerful character, and she could infer the relationship between Zhang Ruoruo and Mei Yunli from these small details, but she completely went astray.
She waved her hand and interrupted the conversation between the two, "Aunt Ruan, I think what you said is all nonsense. You have been in the family for a while, so instead of thinking about these things, you might as well use some of them. My dear, give me a boy and a half girl as soon as possible, so that you can truly rely on me in the future."
Couldn't she have imagined what Wei Jingwei said? Of course she knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold, she had to have a child of her own.
But if Brother Cheng really wins the love of the Wei family, even if she is lucky enough to give birth to a son in the future, there will be no way out.
The child she gave birth to was Mei Yuanqing's direct biological child, and it was no better than an adopted child.
That's why she came to Wei Jingwei today to fan the flames, so that Wei Jingwei can support her child if the future comes.
She sighed, knowing that she could not achieve her goal today, so she retreated.
Lian'er followed her out of the courtyard, and Aunt Ruan smiled as if unintentionally, "Madam, she is really a kind-hearted person. It's like nothing in this house can touch her. I'm really envious." ah."
Lian'er had a smile on her face as always and didn't answer.
After sending the person to the door, she went into the inner room and resumed her life with Wei Jingwei, "My slave has already sent Aunt Ruan out. This Aunt Ruan is an interesting person. She just told her on the way." After saying that, she paused. Following the sad look of Aunt Ruan, she continued: "Madam is kind-hearted and calm when things happen. I really envy her."
Wei Jingwei saw that she was amusing herself with her playful manner, so she smiled cooperatively.
Silently in her heart, Aunt Ruan was a very attentive person, and she observed things more carefully than others around her.
But he knew that her mind was not in the Mei Mansion now.
The following days in Hongxia Pavilion continued to be uneventful. Even Aunt Ruan, who used to like to come to pay her respects from time to time, no longer came, but it became a lot quieter.
On this day, although it was cold outside, it was acceptable. Staying in the house every day made Wei Jingwei feel a lot more lazy, so she took the maids for a walk in the yard today.
In winter, the branches are full of dead trees, and they are all bare.
Even those flowers and grasses are insignificant, only the wintersweet in winter and an unknown flower are in full bloom.
Wei Jingweisu pointed at the flowers next to her and said with great interest, "What's the name of this flower? It's blooming pretty well."
Su'er, who was behind him, took two steps forward, took a closer look, and then shook his head, saying that he didn't know either.
Lian'er smiled and said: "Isn't this a rabbit flower? There are many such flowers blooming on the hills in my hometown."
"Rabbit flower? This name is quite interesting."
The petals in the middle of this flower are a bit darker in pink, but the surrounding petals are white. They look harmless, elegant and pleasant.
"The rabbit flower is also called cyclamen, which means the arrival of cyclops." Lian'er explained.
Wei Jingwei nodded. There was not much to see in this winter.
Soon Ma San at the door came to report. He walked a few steps and knelt on the ground, lowered his eyes and whispered: "Madam, Aunt Ruan and Aunt Zhang are at the door asking to see Madam. They said they want Madam to make the decision."
Wei Jingwei smelled the fragrance of the flowers, then stood up straight and said, "What happened?"
It was unusual today that she was actually allowed to make the decision.
Shouldn't we go find Mei Yuanqing?
Ma San shook his head, "I don't know."
Wei Jingwei thought about it and realized that getting involved in this matter would be a problem. Besides, Zhang Ruoruo already had resentment towards herself, and Aunt Ruan was not a very pure person. It was better not to get involved in the troubles caused by these two people.
"When you go back to them, just tell them that I don't feel well today and disappear. If they are in a hurry, they can go to Ci'an Hall to find the old lady or wait until I come back."
Ma San didn't ask the reason and just replied: "I know."
Back in the inner room, Su'er made tea for her and sneered, "Young lady is not showing up now, but these two people have met. I think Aunt Ruan is not a good person either, even though it was obvious that day I didn’t say anything. But every word is sowing discord. I hope Miss will be a standout."
The hot water in the porcelain pot is brewing the tea leaves. The temperature is just right, not lukewarm. The tea leaves are washed by the hot water, and a strong fragrance quickly overflows.
Wei Jingwei picked up the tea and took a sip, "Now that I know, don't go to them, don't be plotted by others. There will still be chaos in this mansion in the future."
Su Er Lian'er: "I know this."
At night, the weather was cold these days, and Wei Jingwei's hands and feet tended to get cold in winter, so she asked the maids to eat pots at night.
Although it is a grounding, it is not fasting, right?
In this life, she was determined not to treat herself badly.
The pot is made with thick fish soup as the base, and a lot of rare mountain mushrooms are stewed in it. There are also a lot of nourishing medicinal materials in it.
As soon as it came up, Wei Jingwei drank a bowl of soup after smelling the delicious taste. The delicious taste left an endless aftertaste in her mouth, which made Lian'er beside her swallow hard.
Wei Jingwei saw it from the corner of her eye and gave her an angry look, "You're worthless, I can't do without your food. I also asked the kitchen to prepare a pot for you. You go down and eat."
Lian'er nodded quickly and pulled Su'er to go down.
Su'er walked a few steps and turned around to see Wei Jingwei eating tender beef slices in the pot and sipping a glass of wine. Although she couldn't be called lonely, she looked a bit lonely.
She broke away from Lian'er's hand and told her, "You go to the side room to eat first. I'll come back later after I've finished serving the lady."
Lian'er was heartless, so she nodded and happily walked out the door.
Su'er turned around and walked to the table, picked up the tender vegetables on the plate and put them into the pot.
Vegetables in winter are not cheap, and ordinary people cannot afford them, but this dish is tender and crisp, and can be eaten with just a little blanching.
Wei Jingwei looked up and saw that it was her. Maybe he had drank a few glasses of wine, and his eyes were a little misty. He tilted his head and smiled, "Why are you back? Didn't I tell you to go down and eat the pot?"
