Liu's personal ambassador Huan Fei was standing under a row of pomegranate trees at the corner gate waiting for a reply. When she saw Huang, she took two steps to greet her: "Aunt Huang, Madam Third Young Master?"
Huang said to her apologetically and helplessly: "What a coincidence, our young lady woke up with a headache this morning. She is lying down right now. Before the young master went to the study to read, he asked not to disturb the young lady. Otherwise, the young lady will My sister is here, and the young lady wants to go over and see her."
Huan Fei was disappointed beyond words, but Mrs. Huang had already said that Wei Changying was not feeling well, and Shen Zangfeng had told her not to disturb his wife - you couldn't tell Huang to stop listening to his master and forcefully wake up Wei Changying, right
Thinking that the Liu family clearly did not treat Wei Changying as an outsider and bluntly told the third room that he wanted to murder the clan sister Liu Ruoye, but in fact he secretly went to Chencang with the idea of instigating Wei Changying to deal with Liu Ruoye's mother and daughter - now if Wei Changying If we don't go through, how will Liu's plan succeed? Huan Fei felt worried, but he couldn't think of any solution. He sighed secretly and was about to say goodbye to Mrs. Huang. Suddenly, a figure flashed behind the pomegranate tree. The little maid Zhu Xian ran over with her skirt in hand. When she came closer, she took a look at Huan Fei. , and said vaguely to Mrs. Huang: "The young lady is waiting for someone to serve you."
"Young madam, are you awake?" Huang understood and nodded slightly.
Huan Fei was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Aunt Huang, look at this..."
"Miss Huanfei, please wait a moment. I'll go in and talk to the young lady." Huang said with a smile, "Maybe the young lady's head won't hurt anymore after lying down for a while." He then told Zhu Xian to accompany Huanfei to sit in the corridor next to her. , and asked the servants passing by to bring some fruit to entertain her.
Huan Fei had no intention of eating any fruit, so he casually said a few perfunctory words to Zhu Xian, then stretched his neck and looked forward. For a long while, Huan Feizheng was wondering whether the third young lady had seen through Liu's intentions and was deliberately playing tricks on him - otherwise, why would Zhu Xian have arrived in such a timely manner? Just as he was feeling anxious, he heard a commotion behind the Banyue Gate, and finally saw Huang and others surrounding Chief Wei coming out.
She breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward with a smile on her face -
When they got close, they bowed and took a peek. They secretly snickered and wondered why it took so long for the three young ladies to come out: Wei Changying wore a water-colored jacket with folded branches and begonia flowers and leaves. Gorgeous pomegranate red tapestry myrobalan, the myrobalan is embroidered with vivid mandarin ducks and lotus flowers playing in the water; a colorful silk ribbon is tied around the waist; underneath is a single silk flower cage skirt, with flowers and birds complete with beards and feathers, moving with the pace, It seems to be coming to life.
She had never seen this dress worn by Chief Wei since he came here. It was obviously specially chosen to meet Liu Ruoye. After all, she had already passed the exam. Even though she wanted to show off in front of the woman who coveted her husband, she didn't want to appear too deliberate and lose her identity, so her hair was tied up in a bun that was thrown away from home, and she wore nothing but two hairpins. Decorated.
only…
Huan Fei secretly glanced at the bright and dripping blood jade hosta and thought: This hairpin looks so familiar. Could it be the contrasting Yiqi Lianlizhi blood jade hosta that his wife had given him as a dowry? Because Mrs. Su gave the pair of hairpins to Wei Changying who had not entered the house at that time, Mrs. Liu, who thought that as the eldest daughter-in-law, she deserved the pair of hairpins, looked at ease in front of her mother-in-law. After returning to the big room, she closed the door. What a tantrum!
The memory of that time when a confidant like Lian Lian Fei was so angry that he was devoured.
And from a closer look, Wei Changying did not apply makeup and only lightly traced her eyebrows. However, her cheeks were naturally flushed, rosy and lovely, her eyes were full of charm, and her temples seemed to be a little moist. Maybe it was because of this. When we met for the first time, we took a quick bath in the morning light...
Wei Changying looked indifferent, as if he thought that this time he went to Xinyi Pavilion just to meet his sister-in-law's sister-in-law, but in fact he went out of his way to demonstrate to Liu Ruoye... Huan Fei couldn't help but think: What do these three young ladies see? He is not someone to be trifled with, and he already knows Miss Eleven’s thoughts clearly. If Miss Eleven is more showy today, I am afraid the two of them will fight on the spot...
This is of course a good thing for Huanfei. Liu's true and false feelings are true. In the final analysis, isn't the purpose just to make these two confront each other
After arriving at the Xinyi Pavilion, we entered the courtyard. Before we even entered the house, we heard some laughter inside and vaguely smelled the aroma of wine. Wei Changying couldn't help but slow down his steps and said, "Is this...?"
"The eldest young lady said it was rare for Miss Eleven to come over, so she organized a banquet to entertain her." Huan Fei lowered his head and said softly.
Chief Wei Ying groaned and felt a slight bump from Mr. Huang on her elbow... She thought for a moment and realized what was wrong: Mrs. Deng was ill. Today, except for being overly attentive in the past few days, Shen Zangfeng, who almost forced all the Su family's grandchildren to stay in front of Mrs. Deng all day, all came over to visit.
Although the daughters-in-law were personally ordered by Mrs. Su to guard the house, they did not have to go there to serve. But in broad daylight, setting up wine at home for the arrival of a younger sister... Isn't this too much? If word of this gets out, it would be strange if Mrs. Su doesn’t beat Mrs. Liu when she comes back!
Mrs. Liu has always been trusted and liked by Mrs. Su. This can be seen from the fact that Mrs. Su originally called her "Yi'er" but called Duanmu "Yan Yu" - Mrs. Liu's maiden name was Ruoyi.
Moreover, now that Mrs. Su is serving her mother in her natal family, all matters at home are entrusted to Mrs. Liu. Ordinarily Mrs. Su, who likes Mrs. Su like this, would not make such an obvious mistake that would offend her mother-in-law...
Wei Changying entered with suspicion and saw that a banquet was indeed held in the room. Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoyu were seated at the guest of honour. The table opposite Liu Ruoyu was filled with cups and cups, but the seats were empty.
Seeing Wei Changying coming, the Liu sisters hurriedly stood up to greet them. Wei Changying smiled and said that they were polite: "They are all family members, and it's not like they have never met before. Why do they need to meet outsiders like this?" Because they have not seen Jin'er before. Liu Ruoye, who was about to entertain, looked around and asked, "Where is the eleventh sister of my sister-in-law? Didn't you say that she is here and wants to see me? Now that I am here, could it be that I have a headache this morning and was delayed for a while after taking a nap? Chen Guang, you left first? Oh, it’s all my fault.”
Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "Three younger siblings have a headache? Is it important?"
Liu Ruoyu also greeted him.
Wei Changying smiled and waved his hand: "Maybe I washed my hair last night and left the window open when I wrung it to dry, so the night wind blew in. I took a nap around noon and it felt much better, but it seemed to have delayed the eleventh hour. Miss… "
"The third brother and sister are really careless. Although it is summer now, the wind at night is still cold. It is better to be careful in the future. After all, your body and bones are more important than anything else. You must not rely on your youth to be careless. It's okay!" Ms. Liu then showed her face, as if she was relieved, and scolded her affectionately, and then said, "Ruoye hasn't left yet, we haven't finished the wine yet... She accidentally soiled her clothes just now. , I’ll change it later!”
"So that's it." Wei Changying also breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Huang next to him, and said, "It's all Aunt Huang's fault. Even though the weight loss was over, she didn't wake me up, so I didn't know until I woke up. This matter! I really neglected Miss Eleven. Sister-in-law, please help me talk to her later, lest Miss Eleven think that I am deliberately delaying my arrival!"
Madam Huang stood by and said with a smile: "Young lady can't blame me. It was the young master who personally told me not to disturb the young lady's nap. Even when the young master is reading, he deliberately avoids the small study room to avoid disturbing the young lady with the sound of turning books. Madam, how dare you, the maids, not listen?”
Wei Changying waited for her to finish speaking, and then said angrily: "Auntie, what are you talking nonsense! It's obviously..." At this point, his face turned red and he spat, "I won't tell you anymore!"
Mrs. Liu smiled tacitly: "That's right, let's not talk about it. It's nothing new for the third brother to love his third younger sister. Who among us doesn't know about it?"
"Sister-in-law!" Wei Changying glanced at her and changed the subject with a blushing face, "I'm here to visit Sister Ruoyu and Miss Eleven. Sister-in-law, don't talk about what's available and what's missing!"
Mrs. Liu smiled and invited her to sit down. A smart maid had already brought a clean silver bowl and chopsticks. She made a silent gesture and said quietly: "Grandma is ill. She shouldn't drink. It's just that she didn't drink wine last time." Ye mentioned lychee green, and this time he brought out a bottle to serve. This wine is not intoxicating, but it is wine... Don't tell anyone about it!"
She had even told the Huang family about the things that were going to harm her clan girl before, but now her words were not too abrupt, but felt like she was completely sincere.
Liu Ruoyu listened with a smile on her face, feeling sad in her heart: if it had been like this before, she would never have agreed to what her clan sister did - she had always been cowardly and had been bullied for so many years at the hands of her stepmother. Even though she was wronged, she never had the thought of resisting - she was not a person who was willing to harm others, or dared to harm others, but that was because she still had the hope of getting married, and now she even had the prospect of getting married and having children. They were all plotted, and Mrs. Zhang didn't give her any way to survive. If she didn't resist and learn a little better, would she be able to live in the future
When people are pushed into desperate situations, they will always do things that they would never even dare to think about.
So even though she was full of guilt for the Chief of Guards Ying and his servants, she still didn't say a word... The clan sister said that Huang, who was already weak and had been suffering from cold poison for several months, had to seek treatment from Divine Doctor Ji. The recovered Fang Zi rescued him, let alone Wei Zhangying? The third young lady of the Shen family has Huang around her, so she may not drink the problematic wine. Even if she drinks, Huang can save her, so she will be fine - so today, at best, it can only be considered a deliberate plot against Wei Zhangying, rather than harming Wei Zhangying - thinking about this makes her feel better...
It's just that although Liu Ruoyu thought she had tried her best to cooperate with Mrs. Liu and acted as if nothing had happened, people like Mrs. Liu could still see that she was restless and anxious. Mrs. Liu was worried that she would be suspicious if Liu Ruoye came back, so she said calmly: "Ruoyu, are you tired? If you are too drunk, go down and lie down first... Your sister Wei is not an outsider, and she will not talk to you. Calculative."
As she said that, she gave Wei Changying a knowing look. Wei Changying guessed that Liu was planning to take action, which made Liu Ruoyu, who was accustomed to fearing her stepmother and sister, very uneasy, for fear that Liu Ruoyu would be exposed here. After falling short of the target, he nodded: "Sister-in-law said, sister Ruoyu should go and rest first when she is tired. You have always been weak."
Liu Ruoyu was afraid that her eyes would reveal the secret when he looked at her, so she didn't dare to raise her head, and said hastily: "I'm a little dizzy. In that case, I'll leave first... Sister Seven, Sister Wei, please forgive me!"
Seeing her staggering away, Wei Changying saw that Liu Ruoye hadn't come back yet, so he said to Mrs. Liu with a hint of truth: "Sister Ruoyu is really weak and cannot tolerate alcohol." She originally expected Liu Ruoyu to go and have sex with Liu Ruoye. Ye Dou got involved, but it turned out that Miss Liu Shi was too useless. Fortunately Liu Ruoye was not here now, otherwise she would have been suspected.
If Liu Ruoyu stays like this, Huang's request for prescriptions from Ji Qubing this time will be in vain.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Isn't that true? She only drank two cups today."
... Chief Wei Ying frowned, thinking that Liu Ruoyu still had a clan sister. Seeing how Liu was chatting and laughing, how could he look like someone who was about to attack the clan sister
While the two were talking, footsteps finally came from behind the screen, and with jingling rings, a group of maids in colorful clothes came out, surrounded by a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
