Mrs. Liu glanced at her daughter and said angrily: "You should be called brother-in-law, not brother Yuan Qing. That's nonsense."
"Mom, I used to be called Brother Yuan Qing, and now I'm still called Brother Yuan Qing. I think my sister won't mind such a trivial matter." Wei Yaoxi pouted, showing a bit of girlish coquettishness, but it couldn't be said. Be serious with her.
However, looking at her words and actions, Wei Jingwei felt that she vaguely knew something, but she would not be sure until later.
"Today I specially asked the kitchen staff to cook something you like. The three of us will have lunch together. My uncle and your father have their own arrangements."
Wei Jingwei nodded slightly and responded, saying softly: "Mother, I want to go to Fuyuan."
Mrs. Liu was stunned for two seconds, a little unhappy, and suppressed a smile and said: "It's right for you to go and have a look. Remember to come over for lunch."
"I understand." Wei Jingwei stood up, bowed and walked out.
Vaguely, Wei Yaoxi could be heard muttering behind her: "It's really ridiculous that she's still thinking about her mother who died long ago."
"Shut up."
She twitched the corner of her mouth and revealed a sneer. Her stepmother and sister really hadn't changed at all.
There was no maid or mother-in-law to lead the way, but Wei Jingwei walked towards Fuyu Courtyard in a familiar manner. The scenery along the way was familiar from before. The changes in Wei Mansion seemed not to be much.
Fuyu Courtyard is a little further inside the house and is not the best courtyard outside.
But at that time, because Wei Jingwei's mother liked it, she lived there.
The plaque at the door of the courtyard was a little dusty, and it looked like no one had been here for a long time. Wei Jingwei stepped forward, stretched out her hand, and pushed the door open.
Stepping in, the courtyard is still a familiar scene. On the left is a row of green bamboos. Summer is the coolest time, and occasionally you can eat fresh bamboo shoots.
On the right is a small pond in which lotus flowers have been planted all year round. My mother has been dead for so long and no one must have taken care of it, so the lotus flowers in the candy must have stopped blooming.
As she got closer, she looked out and saw that the pool was not what she thought it was. In the clear pool, the small pebbles inside were faintly visible in the clear water. Lotus flowers in full bloom lay quietly inside, as if they were the same as before.
She narrowed her eyes and turned to look at the only maid in the yard, "Who is taking care of this place?"
The little maid shook her head in confusion, "Every few days, someone comes here to sort it out, and I don't know who it is."
After asking, Wei Jingwei felt that she must be stupid. How could a little maid guarding the yard know this news.
In this mansion, Liu Wushuang would definitely not be so kind as to take care of this former yard for her mother. She might even wish it had been bulldozed.
The same goes for Wei Yaoxi.
Then the only thing left is the father...
Wei Jingwei thought that since her mother passed away, her father had completely forgotten about her and all the beautiful memories of their family of three in the Lotus Garden.
Now it seems that my father actually kept these seriously.
Walking closer to the house, the furnishings, tables, chairs, beds, and some tea cups and cups were exactly the same as when her mother was around. Wei Jingwei stood in the house and could tell the specific placement of these things even with her eyes closed.
She stretched out her slender fingers and rubbed a chair in the center of the room. This was the place where her mother often liked to sit. It was here that she talked to herself with a smile, taught her some principles of life, and talked to her with a smile. Talking about her past...
He also smiled to welcome his father's arrival....
Thinking of what happened in the past, Wei Jingwei's eyes felt a little warm, and she hurriedly lowered her head to cover it up.
Lian'er and Su'er were guarding the door, so no one noticed them.
It was almost time. Su'er stood outside the door and reminded loudly, "Miss, it's getting late. We should go to the madam's yard."
"I'll come out right away."
After leaving the door, Wei Jingwei's expression returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
"Let's take a detour. I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know if the garden is still the same as before."
Su Er Lian'er nodded, calculating that the time was enough, so let's take a detour.
The three masters and servants walked slowly towards the garden.
Winter is not the season for plants and flowers to bloom, but the Wei family still planted many rare flowers and plants, which shows their wealth.
Thinking about it, when she got married, Mrs. Liu told her with some embarrassment that her family was not well-off, so in addition to the dowry left by Wei Jingwei's mother, the rest of the dowry could only subsidize her with some silver coins. She was young and ignorant at the time. I really believed her words.
Look now, isn't this just bullying her into being lonely and helpless?
When she came to a corner, there were many trees planted on both sides. The trees were dense and blocked a lot of sight on both sides. Her steps suddenly stopped.
Su'er and Lian'er looked at her with some confusion and whispered: "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Listen, is it the sound of someone talking in front of you?"
Lian'er was confused, "No..."
Su'er listened carefully, quickly covered Lian'er's mouth, and nodded carefully, "It's the voices of the master and the second lady..."
Sure enough, I heard it right.
It was Wei Yaoxi's voice.
At the corner of the yard, a corner that is not easy to be seen, Wei Yaoxi, wearing a goose-yellow fox fur-trimmed jacket and skirt, with a pretty face flushed, looked at Mei Yuanqing with surprise, "Brother Yuanqing, it's been a long time." Miss you."
Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Mei Yuanqing kept leaning forward, frowning, and took half a step back, "It's been a long time indeed. I saw you when you were just a little girl. You were already so slim. .”
The polite words on Mei Yuanqing's lips surprised Wei Yaoxi. When the two met for the first time, she was still young at that time. Compared with Wei Jingwei, who had already grown up and was very beautiful, she had no sense of existence. .
Even so, he can still remember himself...
Wei Yaoxi's heart was beating loudly, and she turned her head to look at him secretly. After not seeing him for such a long time, he seemed to have lost his youthful spirit, and his whole person had calmed down, looking elegant and gentle.
After taking off the clothes he was wearing, he frowned slightly and said with some displeasure: "Brother Yuan Qing, the color of your clothes is the same as my sister's today."
Mei Yuanqing thought that this incident could be regarded as an accident, and a little smile appeared on his lips, "Yes, today is a coincidence."
Hearing that the two of them didn't do this deliberately, Wei Yaoxi felt a lot better and said tentatively: "Brother Yuan Qing must like my sister very much, right? My sister is beautiful, knows everything, is virtuous and can take charge of things, compared to me, I don’t know how much better it is...”
