In his heart, he still felt that no matter what his son was like, Wei should care and protect him as a mother.
Neither of them said a word until they got on the carriage. As soon as Wei Jingwei got on the carriage, Brother Cheng started to think about it, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by Su Er.
He raised his head in confusion, "Sister Su'er, is this...?"
Su Er said matter-of-factly, "Now that the young master is getting older, it is inconvenient for him and his wife to ride in the same carriage again. The house has prepared another one, so the young master should get in quickly."
As he said that, he climbed into the carriage by himself, not paying attention to Brother Cheng's darkening expression.
He turned around and glanced at the car behind him. It was dusty and made of ordinary materials. At first glance, it was not as comfortable as the one in front of him.
He stomped his feet angrily and walked towards the back, feeling angry in his heart. The Wei family was really hateful. Sure enough, they were different if they were not his biological children. You are not allowed to ride in this carriage alone.
But mother said that from now on, the Mei family will belong to him alone, let alone a carriage.
Just grab it later.
The horses' hooves stepped into the snow and made a "rustling" sound. In addition, the new year was approaching, and the sounds outside were particularly chaotic, giving off a feeling of joy.
There are vendors selling red lanterns, Spring Festival couplets and even candied haws everywhere.
Children on the street pulled on adults' sleeves and refused to leave, insisting on making a fuss to buy something.
Wei Jingwei looked at the various scenes of life through the corner of the curtain, and her heart seemed to come alive.
Arriving at the gate of Liu Mansion, the Liu family was very lively today. There were endless carriages at the door, and all the guests wearing fine clothes showed the prosperity of Liu family today.
Wei Jingwei slowly got out of the car with the support of Su Er. Many people who knew her identity started talking when they saw her appearance.
"Isn't this the direct daughter of the Wei family?"
"It's really a good color, but it's a pity."
"Who says it's not the case? Not long ago, there was a lot of noise in their family about concubinage. What they can do is no worse than marrying a wife."
"..."
Everyone was talking in a hurry, but Wei Jingwei's face was calm and showed no emotion at all, as if the person everyone was talking about was not her.
Brother Cheng followed behind, but his face was pure and innocent.
According to his knowledge, and his father's indoctrination, the Mei family should have a good reputation in the minds of everyone in Beijing.
His father was a high-ranking official in the Hanlin Academy, and his aunt was a direct daughter of the Wei family. In his heart, it stood to reason that he should be welcomed wherever he went.
The result turned out to be such a scene.
Moreover, the disdainful expressions on everyone's lips made him feel a dull pain in his heart. The so-called concubine is his mother.
He wanted to shout at those people to shut up. Although his mother was a concubine, his father had promised long ago that he would give his mother the place she deserved sooner or later.
But he couldn't do it. He could only clench his little hands into fists and tell himself to be patient.
The clever concierge noticed Wei Jingwei's presence at the door early, squeezed all the way over, and led the way at the door very affectionately.
Wei Jingwei glanced at Brother Cheng, who was looking bad behind him, and said, "Just take me to my grandmother and aunt first. I'll take him out today to identify him."
She looked at the young man wearing a rich robe at the door and understood immediately.
This is the one whom the cousin will adopt as his successor.
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Li was receiving the old lady who came from Beppu. The two of them were talking and laughing happily.
"I think Hua'er's marriage is very good, but you are worried about it."
Li Shi smiled and said, "Look what you said, I just hope that Hua'er will find someone who values her, and I don't want anything else."
Although she spoke modestly, she could not hide the pride in her eyes. Obviously he is also very satisfied with Qi's family status.
Although Liu Meihua was raised according to the standards of a clan wife, her future marriage was destined to contribute to the Liu family. This was the original plan.
But now, although the Qi family is not the eldest daughter-in-law, Qi Fu is also very good. He has outstanding literary talents and will definitely be promising in the future, so the Liu family is naturally willing.
"Grandma, Jing Wei is here to see you."
When Mrs. Li saw it was Wei Jingwei, her eyes narrowed with laughter, and she hurriedly asked someone to watch and make tea.
"You came a little late at this time today. Is it inconvenient on the road?"
Today, everyone in Beijing knows about the Liu family's marriage, so there will be congestion.
Wei Jingwei smiled, and when she saw Brother Cheng sitting next to her looked unnatural, she pursed her lips and said, "It's nothing, I just have something to do at home this morning." She pointed at Brother Cheng, "Why don't you come and give me some help? Grandma, please send me your regards."
When Brother Cheng saw everyone's eyes falling on him, and because he was late in the morning, he had many thoughts in his mind, he just stood up blankly and bowed politely.
The voice was also very low, "I've met my grandma."
Sitting at the top, Mrs. Li felt a little unhappy when she saw that he was confused and had a dull look on his face. She just smiled reluctantly and asked her mother-in-law to get him a meeting gift.
Then I stopped paying attention to him.
In her heart, this child is not Wei Jingwei's biological child. In addition to what grandma said after she came back, how could she not have a grudge in her heart.
And I also want to know that the Mei family must have meant it when she brought it out specially today.
Her impression of the Mei family suddenly became even worse. What was originally dirty was compounded by greed.
Mrs. Li asked Wei Jingwei how her family was doing as usual.
She smiled and said: "Everything is fine at home, Grandma Lao is worried."
"As long as everything goes well, I can only be well if I see you well."
The old lady who was chatting with her just now laughed and joked when she heard what she said, "You see how much your grandmother loves you. She only gets better when she sees you."
Li also smiled and did not refute.
She introduced her, "This old lady is my best friend, she is the head of Minjun County."
Wei Jingwei stood up and saluted, and said gracefully, "Meet the county master, Mr. Han Fei."
Lady Minjun was quite famous when she was young. She was the beloved daughter of the late prince, who was injured by a stray arrow while fighting for the emperor and died outside.
The old prince had only this direct daughter in his life. She had no other daughter, so the emperor decreed that she should be named the head of Minjun County.
Rumor has it that the Minjun County Princess was very talented when she was in the boudoir, and her appearance was extremely beautiful. Some people even said that if she were a man, she must have a lot of good fortune.
When we met today, Wei Jingwei saw that she had a warm smile and kind eyes. Although she was the same age as her grandmother, judging from her outline and facial features, she must have been a beautiful person when she was young.
