As soon as the words changed, he brought up some trivial matters about other parents, but he was determined not to open up the family tree. Even if Mei Yuanqing was anxious, there was nothing he could do about it now.
He had no choice but to relent, "Patriarch, I will continue to give the annual gift, but there are a lot of things happening in the family these days, so it will be a little later. Look at this... "
"Okay, who doesn't have this situation? Your mother is ill in bed now, and we are not bad people, so let's wait for a while." He stood up and turned to look at the people who came to Beijing with him this time. The compatriots inside said, "I think it's getting late. Why don't we take care of the Yuan Qing family's affairs today? If we have time, it won't be too late for us to chat."
As soon as everyone heard what he said, they knew that he must have already negotiated the money matter, so they no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.
In fact, the process of creating a family tree is not long. First, the clan leader leads the elders in the clan to recite a long prayer, and then invites the ancestors.
Zhang Ruoruo and Aunt Ruan also knelt down and kowtowed.
Once the clan leader adds this to the family tree, it will be complete.
Seeing his name appear one by one on the thick family tree belonging to the Mei family, Zhang Ruoruo showed a look of relief on his face.
She has been waiting for this moment for a long time. Although it is not very smooth, and it is far from the real wife she wanted to be before, but no matter what, she is now officially on the family tree. Will her expectations in the future be far away...
She had a smile on her face. She didn't pay attention when she stood up and almost fell down. Mei Yuanqing quickly helped her up.
The two of them held hands and smiled at each other, but it made Aunt Ruan, who was pregnant next to her, look like an invisible person.
There was no expression on Aunt Ruan's face, but the fingers holding the handkerchief were a little white.
............
"Aunt, this aunt is really favored by me. She has done this so many times before and after, but she still loves her so much." The maid was a little depressed, her tone full of unwillingness.
My aunt has been pregnant these days. I have not even seen her a few times. Instead, I hold the one who causes trouble all day long in the palm of my hand.
It's really annoying to compare people to each other.
Aunt Ruan held the maid's hand and walked quietly on the path back to the yard.
Although today's events made her angry, she was no longer the little maid beside Mei's mother, and she didn't show it at all on the surface.
"I can do such a treasonous thing for her, such as letting the concubine's children be recorded in the name of the main wife, what else is strange? What are you unwilling to do?"
The maid pouted, "I just can't stand her coy look. She has one face in front of others, and another face behind others. After all, even Madam can't cure her."
Aunt Ruan smiled knowingly. Madam couldn't cure it. Madam didn't want to cure it at all. It was more likely that she had lost her heart with Mei Mansion a long time ago.
I have no intention of focusing on this.
This is a good thing for her. If Madam really wants to take action, she will definitely be much more difficult to deal with than Zhang Ruoruo.
After all, she is a serious wife, the daughter of the Wei family, and the granddaughter of the Liu family.
However, she raised her hand to touch her already big belly, and a loving smile appeared on her face.
For the sake of her children, she couldn't just sit back and wait for death.
According to the current situation, it would be fine if she gave birth to a daughter. If it was a son, Zhang Ruoruo would not let it go easily. At best, it would be just a stepping stone for Brother Cheng in the future.
For her child, she wanted him to be born happy, not to be a slave like herself.
After thinking about this clearly, Aunt Ruan narrowed her eyes slightly and showed a cruel look on her face.
Looking around, no one came close to whisper to the maid.
.....................
A few days later, although Mei's mother was still bedridden, her overall energy and energy seemed to be slightly better.
Yingge was locked in the room and cried endlessly all day long, so the new maid could only take care of Mei's mother.
"Get out of here, you're trying to burn me to death with such hot tea!" Mother Mei raised her hand, threw the tea cup in the maid's hand to the ground, and scolded her sternly.
The maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees and begged for mercy: "Old lady, I was careless. I just served you and don't know the rules. I hope the old lady will give you a chance since this is your first offense!"
After saying that, he kowtowed vigorously.
"Bang bang bang"
Mei's mother let her maid kowtow, and the dull sound of kowtowing echoed through the whole room without even raising her eyelids. The maid's forehead soon became red and swollen, and she slowly said, "Okay, get up. Pick up the pieces on the ground and go out."
The maid felt relieved and was not afraid of the broken skin cutting her hands. She made quick gestures with her hands and feet and the broken pieces went out.
"Hey, I'm really not used to not having Yingge to serve me." Mother Mei sighed and said to the grandmother beside her.
Mammy knew the old lady's personality, so she just echoed: "Yingge can't serve you, it's because she has no luck! You gave her a good place, and she doesn't need to be a slave in the future. It's good for her. She's here all day long. There was endless crying and crying in the house.”
Mei's mother frowned and asked Auntie somewhat displeasedly, "She is still crying in the house."
Mammy cursed in her heart, who's good daughter could not scold her when she heard that she was going to marry into the Zhao family, and she might even have to seek death. Yingge is pretty good-natured.
But he said very respectfully, "That girl will definitely figure it out in a few days. The old lady has always treated her well and is a great benefactor to her. Just wait until she figures it out."
Only then did Mei's mother look better and nodded slightly. The whole person was leaning on the couch and drinking tea.
Early in the morning, Wei Jingwei received a letter saying that Liu Meihua was pregnant and that she was going back to the Liu family today. She packed up early in the morning and took the maids back to the Liu family. She spent a long time reminiscing with her grandmother, aunt, and sisters. just came back.
As soon as he came back, Ci'an Hall got the news.
Mei's mother felt unwell and felt even more uncomfortable. Whose daughter-in-law didn't take care of her mother-in-law when she was not feeling well, yet she dared to go out.
I didn’t go home until now.
I sent someone to call him.
In Hongxia Pavilion, before Wei Jingwei had time to dress up, she was called over again.
Mei's mother sat on the chair and said in a calm tone: "As a woman, if you are not gentle and virtuous, you will not be able to keep a man. What should you be afraid of if you are wronged occasionally? No one who is a daughter-in-law will not be wronged."
When Wei Jingwei heard this, she thought that she was here specifically.
She smiled and said, "It also depends on what kind of suffering you have suffered and what kind of grievance you have suffered. If it is unnecessary suffering and grievance, eating too much will only make people think that this is what you should eat."
