Old Madam Wei gently turned aside to avoid her hand, hummed lightly, and then nodded indifferently: "So you still have this kind of heart, it's really rare."
Old Madam Wei had never been very close to her youngest son. I heard that it was because Wei Yangqing insisted on marrying Princess Changning. Wei An did not feel embarrassed. He lowered his head and waited for Old Madam Wei to turn around. Just as he was about to speak, the curtain of the small Buddhist hall was opened.
Aunt Hua poked her head in, glanced at Wei An in surprise, and came up to support Old Madam Wei: "The Third Madam and the Fifth Miss are here, and they are waiting in the hall outside..."
Stepping out of the dim Buddhist hall, the sun was setting outside, and the orange-yellow light shone through the courtyard and sprinkled onto the corridor. Old Madam Wei silently walked through the corridor and entered the yard. When she saw the Third Madam, she immediately came to greet her. Without stopping, she sat down and took a sip of the tea that Feicui had already poured. "What are you doing here?"
Old Madam Wei was always cold to others, but the Third Lady did not take it seriously. She observed her expressions and found that Old Madam Wei looked the same as always, with no change in her expression. She breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked at Wei Qi who was following behind her without making any sound.
With just one look, she knew that this little girl was different.
His appearance was still the same, still the same as before, making people forget at a glance that he was a fool at heart, but the straight posture and the pair of eyes were definitely not what the former Wei Qi should have.
It was just one night in the Discipline Hall... She didn't know why her heart suddenly sank, but her mouth spoke faster than her brain: "My wife brought Xiaowu here to admit her mistake..." Her mind was completely restored, and her tone was full of guilt and shame: "Xiaowu didn't know the seriousness of the matter. He was in Puci Temple with Miss Chen..." It was difficult for the Third Madam to make up a lie because of her upbringing, and she couldn't say anything nice. She stuttered and finally finished her words: "It's her fault. If this matter gets out, it will ruin Xiaoqi's life. The second sister-in-law couldn't teach him hard, and brought this disaster back..." Her eyes immediately turned red: "It's my wife's fault. My wife doesn't know how to teach..."
Old Madam Wei said nothing. She glanced at Wei Qi, whose eyebrows remained motionless, then looked at Wei Yuyou, whose lower lip had turned pale from biting. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, "What Puci Temple?"
The Third Madam's throat choked, and the next words she had prepared were stuck in her throat. She looked at Old Madam Wei, then at Wei Qi, and suddenly doubts arose in her heart - Wei Qi didn't say anything? ! Wei Qi didn't say anything, and the Second Madam didn't say anything either? !
Wei Yuyou did not expect that Wei An did not come back to complain. Tears were about to fall from her eyes. She looked at Wei Qi in surprise. When she saw Wei Qi raise his eyes, she quickly turned her head and wiped her eyes.
Only Old Lady Wei cleared her throat and said, "What jade ruyi did you steal? Tell me about it."
Mrs. Wei San never thought that during the afternoon when Wei An came back, he actually didn't tell Old Lady Wei a word about the matter of Puci Temple. She still looked guilty, but her heart was filled with huge waves.
This is not Wei An's character. After being wronged, Wei An will make the other party miserable even if she is ruined. She is not the kind of person who will think about others and give them a way out.
Then why didn't she complain
Mrs. Wei San couldn't understand it.
Old Lady Wei, who had sent Madam Wei San and Wei An away, was also confused. Through the open window, she could see a line of thrushes hanging on the corridor outside. Old Lady Wei became more lively when she saw the birds. She told Feicui to tell the little maids, "Cover the birds with black cloth and don't forget to feed them."
After a moment of silence, she asked Aunt Hua, "What do you think she is thinking?"
Aunt Hua is an old lady who follows the old lady. When the old lady got married, she followed her as a dowry maid. Later, the old lady's dowry maids died or dispersed, but she stayed with the old lady from beginning to end. Even though she has many children and grandchildren now, she still stays by the old lady's side to serve her.
She understood Mrs. Wei's thoughts best. She took off her headband and got an ice pack for her. She didn't care much and spoke to her as if she was chatting casually: "You were probably young and ignorant before, but after this experience, you seem to have become a different person."
Old Madam Wei raised her head and looked at her: "You also noticed it? That spirit and that calmness in her bones are not what a little girl should have. How annoying was Xiao Qi in the past? Let's not talk about other families, just talk about our family. Is there anyone willing to talk to her for a few more words? How come she suddenly changed her temper when she was annoying to this extent?"
It had been many years since Aunt Hua had heard Old Lady Wei talk so much. She didn’t care what adventures the Seventh Miss had that allowed her to avoid the Fifth Miss’s trap and even fight back, but she wanted to provoke the old lady to talk more. After hearing what she said, she thought for a moment and said, “I think the Seventh Miss is not the same person as before. Just this afternoon... She first dismissed the Second Madam who was planning to talk about this with a few words, and then when she saw that you ignored her, she calmed down and followed you to pick up Buddha beans for the whole afternoon... ”
"Doesn't she look a lot like the same person?" Mrs. Wei smiled, but that smile didn't show in her eyes at all. She waved her hand at the somewhat shocked Aunt Hua, "You don't have to pretend you don't know. She looks a lot like that person, don't you?"
Aunt Hua kept silent for a long while, then reached out to help the old lady remove the ice pack and advised in a muffled voice: "It's been a long time, you have forgotten it... No matter how much they look alike, Miss Seven is the princess's biological daughter after all..."
Old Madam Wei's eyebrows suddenly darkened, and she sneered for a long time: "You are right, she is the biological daughter of Princess Changning, and she has nothing to do with the Wei family at all."
Aunt Hua's right eyelid twitched suddenly. She suppressed her fear and sighed, "You are unhappy when you think about these things. Forget it, don't think about it. If you really don't like it in the future, just ask Miss Seven not to come..."
No one spoke in the room for a long time. The incense burner on the table emitted wisps of green smoke and the pleasant aroma of lilies. Old Mrs. Wei closed her eyes and opened them again after a while.
"No, call her." She stretched out her hand to stop Aunt Hua from objecting and sighed softly, "Forget Youruo. No matter whether she is as scheming as her mother, but..." She drooped her eyelids, her throat was very dry and her eyes were very sore, "But she is too much like Yu You!"
As soon as the name Yuyou came out, the old memories that had been buried for many years suddenly gushed out from the box of memory. Aunt Hua couldn't help but shiver, and when she saw the haggard appearance of Mrs. Wei, her eyes immediately became moist.
