Three to five days had passed since the reunion of the six rooms, but there was still no news from Mrs. Gu. Wei Changying could not help but begin to wonder whether there was something wrong with Mrs. Gu's ability, or whether she was just perfunctory with him that day.
Just when Wei Changying decided to ask someone to come to Mrs. Gu to remind her not to think that she was so easy to fool, Mrs. Gu came to the door.
She also brought Liu Keng with her this time. According to what Wei Changying knew, Liu Xixun had only had such a son, and his wife and eldest daughter were abandoned and martyred by him when the city was destroyed. All the guilt in his heart was filled. Liu Keng was full of love and high hopes for his son.
Therefore, in addition to taking care of Liu Keng in daily life, Liu Xixun also did the enlightenment himself despite his busy schedule. In other words, it is not easy for Mrs. Gu, the stepmother, to bring Liu Keng out.
Looking at Liu Keng, who is still childish in every move, but has begun to take on the appearance of a disciple of a famous family, Wei Changying, although he is no longer easily emotional after hard work, feels a little wet in his eyes at this moment: "I have grown a lot taller, with you At that time, I looked completely different." The following sentence, "I don't know how happy your biological mother would be if she saw you," was swallowed alive.
Liu Keng knew that she was his biological mother's cousin and was very respectful to her: "I heard from my father that when my nephew was one week old, his aunt gave him a dagger as a congratulation. My father said that he would give it to his nephew when he was older. . My nephew thanks my aunt!"
"It's just a dagger, how can I be thanked by you?" If he hadn't said it, Wei Changying would have almost forgotten about the dagger. Looking at his sensible and polite nephew, he felt more and more sorry for Song Xiyue. Fortunately, Mrs. Gu was still kind to him. That's right - even if Mrs. Gu has other ideas, Liu Xixun's attitude is that at least for now, don't worry about this nephew.
So Wei Changying asked him a few questions about his homework preferences and asked Shen Shuguang and Shen Shuxie to accompany him to play.
It was only then that I remembered that because Liu Keng aroused my nostalgia for Song Xiyue, I was a little neglected by Mrs. Gu. Naturally, I wanted to make up for it at this moment, so I asked Mrs. Gu: "Why didn't your daughter bring her? My little niece just followed her sixth brother and sister. When I came to the imperial capital, the two children were similar in age. I also wanted to introduce her to a playmate."
Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "I was going to bring it, but the child was a greedy person yesterday. After finishing her portion of ice cream, she didn't think it was enough. Seeing that the tutor aunt refused to give her more, she ran to Keng'er He asked for it. Kang'er felt sorry for his sister and didn't know that she had already eaten it, so he gave her most of his bowl of ice cream... As a result, he suddenly became ill. "
"Is it important?" Wei Changying quickly asked in concern.
Mrs. Gu shook her head: "It's nothing serious. Just drink two doses of medicine and you'll be fine."
"Children are greedy, so you have to be on guard when you bring them up." Wei Chang Ying said a few things about Shen Shuxie's greediness. Mrs. Gu also laughed when she heard it: "I think the two young masters under your knees are both excellent. It turns out that the Fourth Young Master was also naughty in his early years?"
"You have just arrived in the emperor and you don't know. All the other relatives who have seen Xie'er for a while will know that he is naughty." Wei Changying sighed, "But the aunt who was in charge of him died of her own child in the early years. , I expected her to discipline this child, or tell me his misdeeds and let me discipline him! But the aunt kept hiding everything from him! The place is good and he is loyal, I really want to find someone else for him.”
Mrs. Gu smiled and said: "That's what you said. I don't think there is anything wrong with the Fourth Young Master. Boys are more lively, but they can't be said to be naughty. You are strict in raising your children, and you are humble in your speech - the one I gave birth to is Girls, if you don’t follow the rules from a young age, then when you grow up, you won’t have the shame to tell other people off, and that will be troublesome... "
The two talked about their children for a while, and Mrs. Gu took the initiative to bring the topic to the past, "I promised to give you an explanation for what you said last time, but it happened to be unfortunate. The person who was talking to your fourth lady at that time My niece went to live with an aunt after she returned home. I asked other people, but they all told me that they didn’t know anything. They were children, and I was afraid of telling their parents the truth. Go out and cause trouble for your fourth lady... No, I won't ask for details until the niece comes back! I'll tell you now... I've been tired of waiting for you these days!"
After hearing her explanation, Wei Changying's grudge disappeared and he smiled and said: "Where? I'm not staying at home now, and I can't go out anywhere... But you, you have been working hard these days."
"This matter was caused by our family's failure to educate the girls well. You are willing to help hide it. If our family doesn't give you an explanation, it would be really unreasonable." Mrs. Gu said with a smile.
Now that you and I have been polite, Wei Changying asked her to tell her the results of the cross-examination.
Mrs. Gu sighed: "Those girls were also deceived!"
Wei Changying said "Oh" and said in surprise: "What kind of statement is this?"
"I have inquired in detail about the matter of proposing to marry Mr. Wei from your mother's family. There was a rumor that when she was married to Duke Jingping of the former Wei Dynasty, the lady asked someone to deliver something. She asked about the young ladies to be married in each house You know, as soon as the person here saw this behavior, they knew that they wanted to get married," Mrs. Gu said, "But they really haven't made it clear yet - they didn't even pay special attention to the lady, and they just asked. There was a girl of about the same age in the house, and he suddenly gave up! This way, the clan also knew that there was an accident - because we have never seen Mr. Wei here, and we don't know what the accident was there. , so no one asked why.”
After a pause, she said, "Then the news about Mr. Wei's engagement to the fourth lady of your family came out. Counting the days, you and Brother-in-law Shen were both in Fengzhou at that time. Who didn't know that the Wei family originally came from the Liu family? I want to marry a daughter-in-law, but because you two arrived in Fengzhou and successfully proposed marriage to your family there, the girls in our family are of course not good enough to compare with the fourth lady in the family-"
Wei Changying hurriedly said: "We all have the same family background. When it comes to girls, I think they are all about the same. My family Yan'er has the advantage of talent in terms of literary talent. In the early years when the imperial capital was in good times, she became famous by chance. As for your nieces, I think it’s because of the war that everyone is thinking about the word “peace”, so how can they care about the girls’ talents? Otherwise they must be praised by everyone.”
Mrs. Gu said some humble words to her and continued: "Anyway, the elders in the family know that the fourth lady in the house robbed our son-in-law is a matter of course - but because I didn't say anything at the beginning, you said the house The fourth lady is engaged to Mr. Wei. Our family can't call all the girls together and tell them this, right? To be honest, if there hadn't been this turmoil in Ning Prince's Mansion, I wouldn't have thought that this marriage would have anything to do with our family. ? Unexpectedly, there is a loophole here!"
"That day, the girl who was pulled into a corner by the fourth lady in the house to whisper was my niece's maiden name, Bing'er. This girl is not bad at heart, but her temper is a bit impatient, and there is nothing wrong with her! The reason why she treats the house like that The fourth lady was also deceived by her cousin Er'er! I really thought that the fourth lady in my family could not help Er'er!" Mrs. Gu sighed, "I heard what Er'er said, and she didn't want to embarrass her elders and go out to Er'er. If it’s not good, I feel sorry for my cousin. When I saw the fourth lady in the house, I couldn’t get angry, so I went up to provoke—”
Wei Changying was noncommittal to these words and just listened calmly and said, "Miss Bing'er, does she know the truth now?"
Mrs. Gu knew what she meant and said hesitantly: "I know, I know, that is..."
"Then why didn't I come with you today? She misunderstood and almost caused a big embarrassment to my niece. If you don't say what you want her to do, it's always appropriate to come and apologize in person, right?" Wei Zhangying Although you are still calm, your face clearly shows that you are unhappy - at this time, shouldn't you bring Liu Bing'er and Liu Er'er to ask for forgiveness, but you only brought Liu Keng? What does this mean? !
Do you think you will be afraid that Liu Keng is your stepson and dare not give you this face
Not to mention that Liu Xixun is now very concerned about Liu Keng, even if he wasn't, Wei Changying is not that easy to threaten!
Mrs. Gu said with a face full of embarrassment: "I brought Keng'er here today for no other reason. I just thought that he is your nephew and should come to see you. You were sick last time, and I was afraid that you would get emotional when you saw him. You are recovering well this time, so... Bing'er did want to come in person to apologize to you and the fourth lady in the house, but... she will not be well. "
How can Wei Changying believe it? Then he smiled coldly: "Oh? What kind of bad guy is he?"
"... She... She doesn't know what she ate by mistake, and now her body is itchy." Mrs. Gu said calmly, "Otherwise, she would have refused to come back from her aunt's house for just a few days - she just couldn't stand the itching. , her aunt did not dare to take this responsibility, so she told her parents tactfully, and took her home - several doctors were invited to see her, but nothing worked. No, Miss Duanmuba was being treated these two days, but Miss Duanmuba was being treated these two days. It seems like there is something going on, no visitors..."
Wei Changying snorted: "My Aunt Huang here is from the same division as Miss Duanmuba! Although she is not as good as Miss Duanmuba, she is always better than ordinary doctors. Why not, let Aunt Huang go back with you and replace Bing Take a look, Miss Er, how about it?”
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu said, "Thank you so much!" Looking at her relieved look, it seemed that Liu Bing'er was really not well
Wei Changying was confused, but she also felt that if this was Mrs. Gu's deliberate act, wouldn't she want to be deceived by her
So in the end, I called Mrs. Huang to me and gave her a few words to ask her to go to Liu's house with Mrs. Gu.
Not long after Mrs. Gu left with Mrs. Huang, Ji Yiren suddenly ran over sweating profusely, saluted hastily, and immediately asked Wei Changying: "Foster mother, please ask Aunt Huang to go to Liu's house to treat the patient." Liu Binger?"
Wei Changying said in surprise: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"How can you just let go of someone who bullies Shu Yan?!" Ji Yiren said angrily, "The only thing I have in my hand is a pack of 'Ten Nights' Blood', which was given to me as a meeting gift by Senior Aunt Duanmu when she came to see me last time. ! Then Liu Bing'er has only been itchy for a few days, so you asked Aunt Huang to relieve her... If I had known better, I wouldn't have done so much!"
"...!!!" Wei Changying stared at her for a moment and said angrily, "I'll call your Sister Duanmu over tomorrow! Ask her to give me an explanation!"
This time, Shen Shuyan was so excited by Liu Bing'er's few words that she cried all the way home. It was extremely useless. However, after she ran back, Ji Yiren took over the task of entertaining the ladies in an orderly manner. Afterwards, she listened to Shen Shujing talking to herself. The righteous daughter was full of praises, and Wei Changying was really pleased - after so many years of tireless teaching, Ji Yiren can be regarded as the magnanimity and magnanimity of a lady from a famous family!
Before she could finish feeling proud, Ji Yiren stabbed her!
Do all the juniors who are going to be sick this season, from apprentices to nieces, have grudges against famous ladies? Duanmu Xinmiao was born to be a lady from a famous family, but she wanted to stand out in her own way. Ji Yiren had been influenced and taught by so many ladies, but now...
It would be fine if someone else had done the drugging thing - but Ji Yiren, who is currently being educated as a lady, has never strayed away from the reckless and customary way of thinking. This, this, this... How frustrating is this for Ying Qiu, the chief guard who is responsible for teaching her? ! (To be continued)
