They still thought too simply, thinking that this kind of thing could bring down Zhang Ruoruo.
The fate between Zhang Ruoruo and Mei Yuanqing is very deep. In addition, Brother Cheng is in the middle, so they don't have to act. Mei's mother and Mei Yuanqing will not be ruthless for Brother Cheng's sake. .
Furthermore, even if Mei Yuanqing is angry with Zhang Ruoruo and no longer dotes on her, she will not allow others to touch her.
However, this was the first time in the two years since she entered the house that she heard about the maid throwing herself into the well.
I used to think that the house was nothing more than maids bickering with each other, or having conflicts out of anger.
Back at Hongxia Pavilion, it was almost time for dinner.
She asked Su'er and Lian'er to order some of her favorite dishes, such as eight-treasure duck, lotus seed soup, squirrel fish, and a bell roll, and then she happily washed her hands and waited.
Outside Hongxia Pavilion, Brother Cheng and his boy walked slowly towards this side. As he walked, he kept muttering, "I'm still injured. Father insisted on letting me come to pay my respects. It's so cold." .”
He wrapped his thick cloak tighter around his body, leaving only his small face exposed.
The young man consoled her: "Young Master has indeed not seen his wife for a long time these days. He has to show up. If this continues, it will be bad for people outside to say that Young Master is unfilial. In the future, Young Master will have to pass the scientific examination and become an official."
Brother Cheng had a headache when he heard about the scientific examination and was a little embarrassed, "You said that my father is the same. He stares at me all day long to study. I am not very old now. I have also heard other young masters say that the bigger my father's official position is, , even if I don’t study in the future, I can let him arrange it.” After a pause, he muttered, “I think it’s okay if I don’t study.”
After hearing this, the boy looked around quickly and saw no one, so he felt relieved, "My young master, it is not appropriate to say such words. If someone listens to it, it will reach your father's ears." Here, you have to get scolded again."
"My father won't scold me. As long as my mother is around, he will only scold me a few times and be reluctant to scold me." After saying this, he felt a little proud.
The boy nodded, "That's right. With Aunt Zhang blocking me, even if the master is angry, he won't be angry."
The boy and Brother Cheng walked towards Hongxia Pavilion talking and laughing, not paying attention to a small figure hiding there not far behind. After listening to their words, his eyes showed deep thought.
Sure enough, he guessed right, a serious young man is so close to an aunt. I just didn’t expect that a concubine would be so courageous.
The child was recorded in the name of his mistress, enjoyed the treatment of a direct brother, and walked around with his biological mother without any scruples...
It's not easy, madam.
In Hongxia Pavilion, Wei Jingwei was picking up a piece of squirrel fish with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth when she heard someone said that Brother Cheng was here.
Lian'er put down the chopsticks she was holding to pick up food for Wei Jingwei, and said in a disgusted and puzzled tone, "Why are you here again?"
After hearing what she said, Wei Jingwei smiled angrily, frowned, put down her chopsticks, and said, "Let him in."
The person outside the door then let the person go inside.
The boy next to Brother Cheng is also a good person. In the past, the young master walked sideways in Hongxia Pavilion, and no one needed to be notified before he could enter.
Now...
According to them, it was important for the young master to have a good relationship with the Wei family. Although Aunt Zhang was favored, she was just a concubine and had no natal family to rely on. The young master would have no support when he became an official in the future.
When they become servants, they become one with the master. Only when the master is good can they be good.
As soon as he entered the door, Brother Cheng saw Wei Jingwei's indifferent expression and stepped forward to salute and say hello somewhat uncomfortably.
"Mom, you are doing well these days. Your son is here to see you."
Wei Jingwei smiled. If he really came to see it, he would choose it at night when people were having dinner. It was just to save face.
Brother Cheng has inherited 100% of Mei Yuanqing's hypocrisy.
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. Just go to school."
Brother Cheng got annoyed when he heard about reading. He glanced at his mouth and said, "My son knows. Don't worry, mother."
After the two exchanged unfamiliar greetings, they had nothing to say.
No one would think that they had a close mother-son relationship, but would just treat them as unrelated strangers.
Wei Jingwei lowered his eyes at the dishes on the table and sighed. It would be cold if he didn't leave.
Brother Cheng thought of his father's instructions. His father said, you should go out and walk with your mother more. If you can let her take you out, it would be good to go to the Liu family to recognize the door. After all, Wei Jingwei is your nominal name. Your aunt, Liu Mansion can also be considered your relative.
It's always good to move around more. When you need help in the future, you won't even know the door.
Thinking of this, he pursed his lips, thinking about how to open this mouth.
"Mother, my son has been suffocating to death in this house day after day."
Wei Jingwei was surprised, "Oh? I heard that you have to go to school in the morning and afternoon, and you have to practice calligraphy and do homework after school, but you still have time to be bored."
Her straightforward words made Brother Cheng's face change, and he muttered: "But my son feels tired of studying and wants to go out and play occasionally. For example, you often go to Liu's house. Is Liu's house fun? Yes. No... next time mother goes there, it would be nice to take her son to see it. I heard that the house in Liu Mansion is very beautiful."
He said with a pair of round eyes, like those of a puppy.
Wei Jingwei sneered inwardly because of this idea.
She said, why did you come to say hello for no reason, and it was all false. It turned out that he wanted to use her to get involved with the Liu family.
but....
Whether you can climb up or not is also a skill.
She smiled and said, "My cousin from the Liu family will be getting married in a while. Then my mother will take you to see her."
Brother Cheng didn't expect that she would agree so happily, and a smile quickly appeared on his face, "Really! Mother is so good."
"Yeah, I will send someone to inform you then."
Brother Cheng bowed and said, "Then my son is waiting for news from his mother. My mother is still eating, so I don't want to disturb her, so I will go back to the courtyard to study."
After saying that, he took the boy and left.
Looking at his back jumping happily away, I'm afraid I'm still happy that I achieved my goal so quickly, right?
You know, she, Wei Jingwei, is not so easy to take advantage of.
Since they insist on judging her as a fool for surfing the Internet, why doesn't she return the favor?
Otherwise, this Mei Mansion is one after another, and I’m afraid I really don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is.
Su'er was a little puzzled, "Miss, you clearly knew what he had in mind and you just tried to shirk it, so why did you agree to it?"
Wei Jingwei picked up a piece of Babao duck, chewed it and swallowed it: "This duck is really good, the taste is delicious." Then he continued: "I was able to shirk it once, how can I shirk it a second time? Since I am currently in Mei Mansion. If you stay here for the time being, you can't escape it no matter what."
Su Er: "But..."
