Xie Wanyu's heart almost jumped out of her chest, but when she saw that his expression remained normal, she couldn't help but admire him.
After a while, the waiter brought the food box.
The carriage then rushed to the suburbs.
By the time we reached the outskirts, it was already late at night, and the lanterns in the mansion had not been lit yet, so those people must not have been able to move yet.
Tai Shuqi put down the food box and left, saying that he would come back in two days to deliver internal energy to Xie Wanyu.
Xie Wanyu took off her cloak and lay on the bed.
She couldn't help but feel that her body was now stained with his faint fragrance. That smell seemed to have a soul-stirring charm, and it would always make her blush and heartbeat.
Thinking of this, Xie Wanyu couldn't help but cover her chest.
Now her mind was filled with the image of being held in Tai Shuqi's arms, and she couldn't get rid of it even if she wanted to.
In so many years, Xiao Jing has not behaved so intimately towards her, and now she hates Xiao Jing so much that almost all she can think about is Tai Shuqi.
But her upbringing warned her that she was a married woman anyway and could not think about other men.
While he was thinking wildly, Zhufang suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
She looked pale and said, "Madam, I've prepared the medicine. You can drink it while it's hot."
"What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Xie Wanyu asked hurriedly when she saw Zhufang like this.
"I don't know what happened to you. I was taking the medicine and fell into a deep sleep. Now I wake up and still feel aching in my back." Zhu Fang said with some guilt.
Xie Wanyu knew that Tai Shuqi must have done it, so she said, "You should go and rest early. I will also rest after I drink the medicine."
"Yes." Zhufang responded and went out.
Xie Wanyu drank the medicine and opened the food box and found that it contained two meat and two vegetable dishes, which was very suitable to her appetite, so she couldn't help but eat more.
As a result, I won't be able to sleep at night.
She would not fall asleep until dawn.
When she woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. There was no snow today, the sun was out, and the plum blossoms in the yard were in bloom, which looked particularly beautiful.
When Zhufang entered the door, he saw Xie Wanyu sitting on the bed.
"Madam, you are finally awake." Zhu Fang said with a smile, "My servant specially picked a few red plums. Madam, take a look. Do they look good?"
Xie Wanyu looked at it and said, "It looks good, just put it in that white porcelain vase."
At this time, Pei'er also walked in. She must have run by, so her face was red and she was breathing heavily.
Seeing her like this, Xie Wanyu couldn't help but laugh, "What happened? You're so exhausted?"
Pei'er poured herself a cup of tea and drank it all. "Madam, you don't even know that the Xue family is starting a fight."
"A fight started?" Xie Wanyu asked.
Pei'er wiped her mouth and said, "I went into the city today to buy some food, and I heard about the Xue family. For this reason, I went to the door of the Xue family to see the excitement, and I heard yelling and cursing all the way away. .”
She hated Xue Xuening deeply, so naturally she rarely heard of this kind of thing.
Zhufang became interested as soon as she heard this, and even specially invited Nanny He in to sit on the embroidered pier and listen to Pei'er's talk.
After Pei'er inquired and eavesdropped in many corners, the Xue family's affairs became coherent.
Yesterday afternoon, Tai Shuqi returned to the city with his army and suffered heavy casualties. Two of his lieutenants were gone, and of course, the legitimate son of the Xue family was also included.
The Queen Mother did not blame her. After all, others did not know the Queen Mother's thoughts about Tai Shuqi, but Xie Wanyu could still see it to some extent.
Therefore, the imperial court rewarded the families of those deceased soldiers with a lot of real gold and silver.
Chat to express your feelings.
Naturally, the Xue family also got it. When Xue Xuening heard that her master was returning to the court, she immediately returned to her parents' home. She originally thought that the Xue family would be able to ascend to heaven, but she didn't expect that Bai Ling would hang up.
Only then did she learn that her brother had passed away.
Her parents began to blame her. She was not a close relative in the first place, so her words were hard to hear. Xue Xuening was not a vegetarian either, so she naturally wanted to fight back.
Later, he said that he wanted to sever ties with the Xue family, so he wanted to share the pension awarded by the court, and the quarrel started again.
"So when the slave left, they hadn't finished arguing. One of them was determined to ask for money, and the other refused to give it even to death, so they just froze there." After Pei'er finished speaking, she laughed.
With Xue Xuening like this, she was naturally the happiest.
Xie Wanyu squinted her eyes. It seemed that Xue Xuening was really too poor, otherwise it would be impossible for her to lose face and do such a thing.
Now that the Xue family has lost their eldest son, Xue Xuening will no longer be afraid of her stepmother, so she will naturally make a big fuss.
"I used to think that Mrs. Ning was very kind and always smiled at everyone, but now I feel more and more that she has a dark heart." Zhu Fang said, "Aunt He, what do you think?"
Grandma He is the most kind-hearted. She never says much. Now after hearing these words, she also sighed with emotion, "It is really inappropriate for a child to be able to do things like disobeying one's elders."
"Aunt He, you are the most fair." Zhu Fang said with a smile.
Xie Wanyu looked at the red plums in the bottle. She would not let these people leave so happily. She would take revenge bit by bit and slowly.
It was approaching the end of the year, and Xue Xuening probably asked for money from the Xue family, so she kept quiet, and Xiao Jing never asked her for money again.
Xie Wanyu also made up her mind to celebrate the New Year in another courtyard. She had people bring colored paper early and took Zhufang and Pei'er to cut the window grilles.
Xie Wanyu was not good at this kind of meticulous work, so she was frequently laughed at by the two of them.
When it was almost noon, the rough lady came and knocked on the door, "Madam, it's the third young master here."
"Third Young Master..." Xie Wanyu did not expect that Xiao Zhi would come to see him. This child is much more filial than the other two. "Let him come in."
Because of her disappointment with Xiao Mingxuan and Xiao Jinmin, Xie Wanyu only wanted to train Xiao Zhi to be Xiao Zhi's rival and someone who could earn a title with him, but she never showed much sincerity.
Once bitten by a snake, I will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.
"Let him come in." Xie Wanyu said calmly.
"Yes." The rough lady responded and walked away.
After a while, Xiao Zhi's voice sounded at the door, "Mother, Pei Zhi has come to say hello to you."
"Come in quickly." Xie Wanyu said.
Xiao Zhi just walked in. His little face was red from the cold, and even the tip of his nose was red. He took off his cotton hat, and then he knelt on the ground and said, "Son, I wish my mother good luck. May my mother be blessed and safe."
His forehead was pressed tightly to the ground, but he didn't feel anything wrong at all.
Xie Wanyu said hurriedly, "Get up quickly, the ground is cold, Zhufang, hurry up and pour him a cup of hot tea to warm himself up."
"Thank you, mother." Xiao Zhi stood up and sat on the chair next to Xie Wanyu. He took off his cotton gloves, and the back of his small hands was red and swollen.
"Why do you still have frostbite on your hands?" Xie Wanyu asked.
Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "I started learning late, so I can't compare to my eldest brother and my second brother, so I have to work harder than them. It's just that winter is too cold."
