Mrs. Gu asked everyone to return their tables, and then asked the maid to put hot dishes on all the tables. Wei Changying pulled Shen Zangning and said with a smile: "Your ears are so sharp. I thought there was so much noise and the sound of silk and bamboo at the table today. Looking at you lying there listlessly, I might not be able to hear you." What Wei Changjuan said!"
Shen Zangning curled her lips and said, "Third sister-in-law, you didn't see that Wei Changjuan looked at me for a while, then saw that I didn't pay much attention to your question, and then came over. I guess she must have thought that I was not attentive. If I say something back to you, it will definitely not be good for you. No, he came here specifically to start a conversation between us, just so that I could get into trouble with you if I heard about it!"
Wei Changying said in surprise: "Is there such a thing? I really didn't pay attention." Although Shen Zangning helped him, Wei Changjuan was his cousin after all, and his sister came to cause trouble, but it was his sister-in-law who was upright - Wei Changying Ying felt very humiliated and sighed, "I've made my sister laugh today."
Shen Zangning snorted: "I hate people like this the most. Do you think I'm a fool? I can be fooled by such an obvious borrowed knife to kill people. Only a fool like Wei Changjuan would think so. If it weren't for the thought of today's big man On a good day when my cousin is out of the cabinet, she dares to despise me like this, and I can smooth things over for her. It would be weird if I don’t scratch her face!”
"For a smart person like Fourth Sister, anyone who treats you as a fool is really stupid." Wei Changying smiled and touched the center of her eyebrows and said, "Look, your favorite braised elbow is here. Sister-in-law, I won't delay you." It’s done, please return the table first, and we’ll talk about it later.”
Shen Zangning turned around and saw that a steaming braised pork elbow with a fragrant sauce was served. She was overjoyed and said hastily, "Okay, okay." Then she returned to enjoy the meal.
Here, Mrs. Gu personally led the people to serve a dish of roast pigeon to Wei Changying, which was also Wei Changying's favorite dish. While the maid was serving the dish, Mrs. Gu quietly said: "Just now I went to the Third Aunt. After talking about what happened here, the third aunt said that since Sister Wei Qi missed her relatives in Fengzhou so much, it was really unkind of her not to fulfill her wish, so she had to sacrifice all her life on the knees of the elders who sent her back to Fengzhou before she left the cabinet. Tianxiao, it’s no wonder that she missed her family to the point of crying in public today!”
Wei Changying was startled, and then the corner of his mouth curled up: If Wei Changjuan returns to Fengzhou and has no future, her life will be whatever her grandmother wants. Her grandmother, Mrs. Song, doesn't care about her as her direct granddaughter. It was a very serious thought, and even the dowry had been planned since she was born; but for the blood of the children of concubines... Mrs. Song had never regarded these juniors as human beings.
Especially those in the second house.
In a word, as long as Wei Changjuan returns to Fengzhou, she will never expect to be able to escape from Mrs. Song's clutches in this life!
This is why Wei Changjuan is confused. It is reasonable for her to go against Wei Changying because of her father. However, it was difficult to choose a day, so he chose the day when Su Yuli came out of the cabinet. Wei Zhengyin's mood was very complicated because she was marrying her daughter, and her niece came to cause trouble - what kind of mother who cares about her daughter wouldn't be angry
Under the influence of his mother, Mrs. Song, Wei Zhengyin has always regarded his brother Wei Zhenghong's children as flesh and blood relatives. His relationship with his second brother Wei Shengyi, who was born as a concubine, was originally weak, and he did not care about Wei Shengyi's children. Not enthusiastic, now that Wei Changjuan is still looking for trouble, how can Wei Zhengyin not be angry at her? The meaning of this was to catch Wei Changjuan saying that she missed her grandparents in public and force her to return to Fengzhou.
Wei Zhengyin still doesn’t know what Mrs. Song is like? With just one sentence: "On the day when Yu Li came out of the palace, Chang Ying said "I miss you, mother," and Chang Juan went up to Chang Ying's sister-in-law and said that she valued her mother's family more than her husband's family. Mrs. Song could make Wei Changjuan's skin fall to pieces. Peel it off! Mrs. Song had been planning hard for many years, guarding the second house as well as thieves. What was her purpose? Isn’t it just to live a good life for your own flesh and blood
Mrs. Song really worked hard and well-intentioned for Wei Changying's marriage. All she wanted was for Wei Changying to be safe and secure for the rest of his life. Wei Changjuan did nothing. Because she was Wei Shengyi's daughter, Mrs. Song had already disliked her. Now she actually dared to take the initiative to embarrass Wei Changying - this was absolutely treasonous in Mrs. Song's opinion. It's absolutely heartbreaking - in short, this granddaughter must not be kept any longer!
Seeing that Mrs. Gu left without saying anything, Wei Changying said with a smile: "Second aunt is sympathetic to the seventh sister. It's true. The seventh sister misses her relatives in Fengzhou so much. It would be really bad if we don't let her meet her. Grandpa My grandmother is getting older, and my grandfather can't leave Fengzhou. I have to serve my grandfather and grandmother, so it's hard to come to the imperial capital for Seventh Sister to pay her respects. Why don't Seventh Sister take advantage of her freedom to go back and serve her for a few days? Unless I marry back to Fengzhou, I won’t be able to see her again.”
Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "What Sister Chang Ying said, how can it be that a junior who wants to see an elder doesn't take the initiative to go see him, but asks the elder to come over?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
On the other side, Wei Changjuan had no idea that her second aunt had caught on to what she had said in a hurry, and she was still complaining about Liu Ruoye: "Sister Liu, what third sister said just now, it's not like that." It's not appropriate. I said it and asked everyone to comment. This is also a taboo that a girl like me, who has never left the court, knows. Even a married woman like me, the third sister, doesn't know what you want! Follow Shen Zangning's words and put things to rest?"
Liu Ruoye sighed: "Oh, why did you, Seventh Sister, run to Sister Weisan as soon as I turned around? It turns out that I talked too much. It's all my fault and it hurts you."
Wei Changjuan said hurriedly: "I don't blame you, Sister Liu. Just now, Sister Liu lamented that what Third Sister said was inappropriate, and the title she called Second Aunt was inappropriate. She also said that it would be inappropriate to speak up now, lest Third Sister would I’m so embarrassed that I can’t get off the stage, but it’s me…”
"Seventh sister, you're afraid that Sister Wei San won't speak carefully, so you asked Shen Zangning to go back and complain. Go up and remind her. This was a good intention." Liu Ruoye looked around and whispered, "But what do you want today? What day is this? Sister Su is leaving the cabinet. No matter what happens, it’s not good to be overjoyed, isn’t it? "
Wei Changjuan bit her lip and said, "I was so anxious that I forgot about this."
Then he said, "But my third sister is too much. I can't stand down like this in front of others. I am her natal sister, so she is just helping the younger sister to bully me!" She said with red circles in her eyes.
Liu Ruoye said softly and softly: "When a woman leaves the pavilion, she will naturally rely on her husband's family for everything. Besides, Sister Wei San has not been here for a long time and her status in her husband's family is unstable. How can she dare to offend Shen Zangning?"
Wei Changjuan hummed: "Shen Zangning... I think she is quite capable. She is coaxing Shen Zangning to help her make trouble! How can she be afraid of Shen Zangning?"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Liu Ruoye advised her to drink a cup of mint dew to calm down the anger, and said, "There is something I really don't know whether I should tell you or not?"
Wei Changjuan was stunned and said, "Sister Liu has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Liu Ruoye lowered her voice and said: "Seventh sister, don't blame me for being presumptuous - I have heard about Rui Yutang's affairs, and even the affairs between your father and the fifth son of your family. I'm not talking about my sister. Even though my sister just couldn't reconcile it for a while, Why don't you just keep silent and let me say it for you? As a result, my sister casually said that I miss my relatives in Fengzhou. Please think about it, if Aunt Wei or Sister Wei San tells this to your old lady, your old lady will simply This will help my sister..."
Wei Changjuan's expression changed immediately!
Because she was born late, she has never met her biological grandmother, Mrs. Song. She only mentioned how powerful and partial this grandmother was from her parents and siblings. Her disgust for Mrs. Song far outweighed her fear. . However, last year when Mrs. Song wrote a letter to call her second brother Wei Changsui back to Fengzhou, the whole family was filled with sorrow. The scenes of her mother, Mrs. Duanmu, crying worriedly in no one's home several times were deeply imprinted on her mind. in mind.
From that moment on, Wei Changjuan hated this grandmother even more, and the scene of Wei Changsui's death before leaving also made Fengzhou become a place like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den in Wei Changjuan's impression - all because, Mrs. Song.
Wei Changjuan could imagine what kind of fate would be waiting for her if she returned to Fengzhou
Wei Changsui did his best to grovel in front of Mrs. Song, and it was Wei Shengyi and Mrs. Duanmu who were in the imperial capital who tried their best to make Mrs. Song show mercy when Wei Changying was ruined by the Liu family and Zhibentang. To put people back in the imperial capital... Do I have to try my best to please that grandmother who doesn't regard her bloodline as a human being in exchange for a chance of survival
As a legitimate daughter, how could Wei Changjuan, who was used to being pampered by her parents, live such a life!
But since Mrs. Song can recall Wei Shengyi's second son, let alone her youngest daughter? She grabbed Liu Ruoye in panic and said anxiously: "Then... what should we do now?"
Liu Ruoye sighed: "Good sister, the old lady of your family is the elder. I can't say anything to the elders. But I heard that this old lady is very strict about rules. If you go to Fengzhou, sister, you will definitely be tightly restrained. I don’t know if we will meet again in the future? After all, maybe the old lady loves you, so it’s not necessary to marry you? In order for us not to be separated, I think you should go and have a good word with Sister Wei San. Please be kind to Sister Wei San and give you a nice word in front of the old lady. I heard that the old lady in your family loves Sister Wei San very much. A word from Sister Wei San is more useful than anyone else."
Wei Changjuan was stunned for a moment, and her fear and jealousy became even stronger. She couldn't help but look at her cousin not far away - Wei Changying, wearing a bright dress and expensive hairpin, was smiling and talking to Mrs. Gu. What? There was a smile hidden in his cheerful expression. Maybe he had thought that he could ask his grandmother to call him back to Fengzhou to deal with it
Usually it is a granddaughter. Even if there is a difference between the legitimate concubines, why can this cousin be regarded as the apple of her eye in front of her grandmother, but she, the granddaughter, has to be cautious and not be regarded as a human being
As a legitimate daughter, Wei Changjuan has always been courteously cared for by her brothers and sisters. Wei Changjuan is used to enjoying the favor of her family. At first she thought that in front of her grandmother, whom she had never met before, she and her cousin Wei Changying were completely different. The young lady lost her temper and her resentment towards her grandmother was vented on Wei Changying. She said with a sullen face, "I'm not going!"
A smile flashed in Liu Ruoye's eyes, but she let out a soft sigh and said, "Sister Qi, don't be like this. Without Sister Wei San to speak for you, if you go back to Fengzhou and the two of us are separated, I I can’t bear to leave you!”
Wei Changjuan said angrily: "In the worst case, I'll just claim to be sick and not go out! I don't believe that the imperial capital and Fengzhou are so far apart, what can they do to me! I won't beg her!"
These words had clearly revealed his dissatisfaction with his grandmother and Wei Changying. Liu Ruoye was satisfied in her heart and was about to say something else when a maid hurriedly came over behind her, bowed to her and said respectfully: "Miss Eleven , Miss Ten accidentally spilled wine on her skirt, and I would like to ask you to come over and change with her."
Liu Ruoye was startled, and her face darkened for a moment - then she regained her usual gentle and sweet smile, stood up and said: "Ah, I'll go right away." He lowered his head and told Wei Changjuan, "Seventh sister, please don't sit alone. Come later."
Wei Changjuan was troubled, so she hummed and said, "Okay, Sister Liu, please come back soon..." (To be continued)
