Mei's mother nodded with satisfaction, "You are a sensible person."
Mei Yuanqing looked at her pitiful appearance and knew that with his mother's protection, there was no way he could teach Brother Cheng a lesson today. He could only sigh and ordered his maid to help Aunt Ruan go back to rest.
"Please take good care of your master, and then ask the doctor to take a look."
The maid wiped the tears on her face, nodded repeatedly and said she understood, and then stepped forward to help Aunt Ruan leave the Ci'an Hall.
Brother Cheng snuggled into Mother Mei's arms and watched Aunt Ruan and her servants exit the door of Ci'an Hall, his eyes full of pride.
"Grandma, my grandson saw that you didn't eat much just now. You need to eat more to stay healthy."
"Oh, my good grandson, grandma knows, grandma eats more! Haha."
Ci'an Hall has returned to its happy mood.
It was as if the incident just now had never happened, Aunt Ruan seemed like an insignificant person.
Wei Jingwei felt uncomfortable, stood up, said she was full, and stepped back to prepare to go back to Hongxia Pavilion.
When I reached a corner, I was stopped by someone.
She was not surprised, she just raised her eyes and looked straight over, and said softly: "You waited for me here on purpose, but you have something to say." After a silence, she softened her tone, "You are now twins, and it is freezing. , why not go to my place and talk to me, if you catch the cold later, it will not be good for the child."
A gleam of light flashed in Aunt Ruan's beautiful eyes, and the corner of her mouth curled up, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey my orders. Thank you, madam, for your consideration."
Wei Jingwei nodded slightly, her palm-sized cheeks and nose were a little red from the cold wind outside. As soon as she entered the yard, Su'er hurriedly put the clothes she had changed on the brazier to disperse the cold air, and ordered people in the kitchen to I made ginger tea and let her drink it, and she finally felt better.
After Aunt Ruan sat down, Lian'er brought a soft cushion to make her lean back more comfortably.
Seeing the warmth in the room and a cup of warm milk in front of her, Aunt Ruan's face softened even more.
"Madam is a kind-hearted person and has always been very tolerant to us." After she said that, she took a sip of milk, and some color appeared on her pale face.
Seeing that she was still a little cold and the clothes she was wearing were very indifferent, Wei Jingwei frowned and said, "Su'er, bring the brazier closer."
Su'er raised her head and glanced at Aunt Ruan's thin clothes, and replied, "Yes."
The brazier came closer, and a warmth suddenly filled Aunt Ruan's whole body. Her slightly lowered eyes were a bit crystal clear, but they soon disappeared.
The room was warm, but no one spoke.
Wei Jingwei held the ginger tea in her hand and sat motionless, waiting for her to speak, with a bleak look on her face.
After almost a quarter of an hour, Aunt Ruan finally spoke. Her voice was soft and her tone was very slow, which was not objectionable.
"I came to see Madam today. Madam can probably guess why." She said and put down the milk tea in her hand. Lian'er saw that it was all bottomed out and quickly picked up the cup and poured another cup.
Wei Jingwei looked at her current appearance. She was not as beautiful as when she first entered the house.
Whether it's food, clothing, housing or transportation, the Mei family probably doesn't have enough time to take care of themselves now, let alone a concubine. Now things are getting better, and the money can't reach her.
Wei Jingwei felt chilled when she thought that she was still pregnant with the Mei family's child.
Mei Mu and Mei Yuanqing were a little too cool.
"I don't know why you are here. Aunt Ruan, why don't you just tell me what you have to say." Wei Jingwei said lightly.
Aunt Ruan's nails dug deeply into the palms of her hands, and her face showed a bit of anxiety, "Madam, don't you think that the Mei family is too cold and cold? I am still like this even though I am pregnant, but in the future... ..."
Wei Jingwei twitched the corners of her mouth, showing a very distant smile, and tapped her fingers on the table very rhythmically, making a sound of "technetium".
"Did you just find out today?"
Aunt Ruan's face showed a bit of embarrassment when she heard this, "My birth is not good, and what I am now is due to my planning and hard work. I know that Madam was born from a noble family, so she must look down on us, but... ....I also have my difficulties.”
"I don't have any disdain, I just think that everyone chooses their own destiny. Whether it's you or me."
"It is really undeserved that such a transparent person like me, Madam, should end up in the same situation as me."
Aunt Ruan's words seemed to be filled with emotion, and she sighed silently, which made Wei Jingwei a little confused about what she meant.
Lian'er was an impatient person, so she hurriedly said, "Our lady is different from you."
"What's the difference? Miss Lian'er must have seen what happened today. The Mei family, whether it's me or my wife, is not the same family as them. If Brother Cheng is favored, he will definitely inherit this house in the future. Yes, if he inherits it in the future, who will have any good results, me or my wife, not to mention... there is that person behind him."
Aunt Ruan's words meant something, and Wei Jingwei finally understood.
"I think you have already made up your mind when you say this."
"Yes, Madam is right. I have some plans in mind, but..." Aunt Ruan had some hesitation on her face, and she didn't finish her sentence.
"You are afraid that I will hinder your plan." Wei Jingwei smiled, "Don't worry, I won't take action, but I won't prevent you from taking action. You have your own purpose, but I don't have my plan."
After getting the answer she wanted, Aunt Ruan's face became visibly relaxed. She smiled softly, stood up and bowed, "Then I'll thank you, madam."
After that, he was supported by the maid and slowly walked out.
Su'er looked at her back in trance and muttered: "It seems that the Mei family will never have peace of mind."
Wei Jingwei looked at the bracelet on her hand in trance, "Who says it's not, but it should be a mess. If it's not a mess, how can we find a way out?"
The three masters and servants looked at each other with unspoken smiles in their eyes.
.............................
In the evening, the whole family was supposed to gather together to have dinner and watch the New Year's Eve.
Something happened at noon, and Wei Jingwei was not willing to act, so she said she felt unwell and stopped going. Aunt Ruan also sent her maid to tell her that she was feeling a little uncomfortable and had a big belly, making it difficult to move around, so she decided not to go.
Mei's mother didn't care, as long as her grandson and son were with her, everything was enough.
"Okay, let them both have a good rest, and there will be no need to come tonight."
Brother Cheng poked his head out curiously and looked at the little maid in front of him, "Is mother feeling unwell? Did you call a doctor?"
