"If mother passed away... wouldn't I want Ding You... My future is uncertain now..."
Mei Yuanqing originally looked sad, still feeling sorry for Mei's mother's condition, but suddenly he thought that his current position and situation were already very difficult. If after three years of Ding You, the officialdom was gone, I am afraid that his current position would not be guaranteed. Now, I have no connections in the court, let alone good friends with powerful people.
Whether I can return to this humble position in the future is another matter.
He suddenly stood up and said, "No, mother cannot die."
Wei Jingwei stood aside, as motionless as a sculpture. There was no surprise in his eyes, just full of sarcasm.
The light reflected from the white snow outside the window shone on her, giving her a cold feeling.
She originally thought that Mei Yuanqing's coldness was for treating her. Because he didn't love herself, he acted recklessly and without any scruples about anything that hurt her.
Later, when she saw him treating Zhang Ruoruo, she thought again that it was not safe to rely solely on love rather than flesh and blood. The love between men and women in this world is like a dream, like a bubble, and like sugar coating, fragile and fragile.
Now it seems that even close relatives can be abandoned at any time.
He is not cold, he only loves himself.
There was neither sadness nor joy in her heart. In the past, there was still some hatred surging in her chest from time to time towards Mei Yuanqing, but now she only felt pity.
It's a pity that he lived like this.
I gave up everything I could give up, and what did I get in exchange for it?
For some reason, she spent a lot of money to repair the Mei Mansion in the past after she married into the house. Who wouldn't come here without saying that it is elegant and noble? Now she looks so dilapidated.
Thinking of what she was going to do in the near future, she sneered and looked at Mei Yuanqing, not knowing whether he would be able to withstand the next blow by then.
In the next few days, Mei Yuanqing took a rare leave of absence and began to play the role of a qualified son.
In the Ci'an Hall room, some of the maids who did not serve well were reprimanded by him. Seeing that the maids were not doing their best, he was so angry that he had no time to take care of these things, so he just kicked them out of the house. , personally served Mei Mu.
Mei's mother could hardly move her body, and even her speech was stammering, often giving the impression that she was unable to express what she meant.
There were some gray hairs before, but now they are all white.
But whenever she saw Wei Jingwei appear, she would still yell out unintelligible sounds and look at her with a stern expression.
.............
On this day, the Mei family welcomed a rare distinguished guest.
Wei Jingwei personally met with several people, including his eldest aunt and second aunt, Liu Meihua, Liu Haitao and others.
Now that my grandmother is getting older, she doesn’t like to move around much anymore. I just heard that the Mei family was in trouble right now, so they were asked to come and see if Wei Jingwei was okay.
As soon as they sat down in the yard, Su'er and Lian'er quickly made tea and brought it to them.
There are also several kinds of snacks on the table, all of which Wei Jingwei remembered as favorites of the people in front of her.
Liu Meihua picked up a piece of milk puff pastry and took a bite. Her mouth was filled with the rich aroma of milk. The moment her teeth bit down, the crisp shell shattered.
"The pastries made here by my sister are much better than those made by the Qi family's cook. It is said that the cook was raised by the palace. I can see that the food he makes is not that good."
"What nonsense are you talking about? People will laugh at you if they hear this." Aunt Ye scolded her in a low voice, but with a smile on her face, you could tell she wasn't really angry.
Liu Meihua is now pregnant, and her temper has become more childish.
I often struggle with not being able to eat well or sleep well.
Qi Yue successively found several types of cooks, and also specially found a maid from outside who was good at massaging. After several people took turns to serve her, she finally got better. Needless to say, the eldest aunt is also very happy to know that her uncle treats her daughter in this way.
Although she can be considered vigorous and resolute at home, she always has a cold face on weekdays. But when it comes to the daughter he has carefully raised and raised, how can he be willing to let her suffer?
The good things were given away as if they were free of charge.
When the Qi family saw that the Liu family was so interested in this young lady, they did not dare to neglect her.
So life is like a mess now.
Haitao has not been seen these days, but her childish face has matured a bit, but her brows are furrowed and her whole body has become more silent. She must have been troubled by her second aunt for the marriage.
"Your yard is quite nice. The windows are so bright. It's perfect for admiring flowers in spring and snow in winter." My aunt held the hot tea in her hand, pouted a little, and said with a chuckle. .
Wei Jingwei nodded slightly, looking at her yard with some satisfaction in her eyes. She gave up the excellent Zhuxi Garden and lived in Hongxia Pavilion just for the scenery and sunshine here.
Although it is a little far away from the outside world, it is all worth it.
This place not only has beautiful scenery, but is also exceptionally clean. She usually likes quiet places, so she likes it very much.
Unfortunately.....
There is not much time left for such beautiful and peaceful days.
She lowered her eyes for a moment, then quickly raised her head and started laughing with everyone.
Several people asked about Mei's mother's condition. Wei Jingwei pondered for a moment, with helplessness on her face.
"Now that I've had a stroke, I can only lie on the bed and be served. I can't even speak."
When several people heard this, their eyes were surprised and a little sad.
It had only been a while, but the last time I saw him he was still full of life and energy, and he was so eloquent when he cursed people. Now I'm lying in bed and can't get up.
"As we get older, that's how it is. A little illness can take away half of your life." The eldest aunt sighed with emotion. She was not ashamed of Mei Mu. The current situation was not bad for Wei Jingwei, but on the other hand, she felt sad. Birth, old age, illness and death are impermanent.
She is not young anymore, almost forty years old.
The second aunt also said with emotion: "Who can say otherwise? When people get old, they only worry about their children's marriage. If Haitao finds a good husband to marry, I will have no other hope. But her temperament, and It’s not something that the old lady takes seriously, hey.”
She said and patted her thigh.
Are you talking about the old lady? Who doesn't know that the eldest aunt is now the head of the Liu family and the one who calls the shots. He just pointed at his aunt's nose and said that she no longer cared about her daughter's marriage.
The aunt's expression remained unchanged, and she gently put down the tea cup. The delicate porcelain cup collided with the table, making a pleasant sound.
"Second brother and sister, what you said is inappropriate. No one in the family cares about Haitao anymore, and they are very concerned about her marriage. But if you are not satisfied with this, then where can you find a perfect marriage? "
