Wei Yupo stopped what he was doing, and he couldn't tell whether he was more happy or unhappy.
She had been going to Wei An's room more and more often recently. First, she asked Wei An to teach her how to make incense, and then she asked Wei An to play backgammon and chess with her.
A few months later, Wei An asked her, "Apo, do you have something to tell me?"
She only felt that Wei An's clear eyes at that moment made her thoughts exposed. In addition to inferiority, she also felt some unspeakable resentment and embarrassment.
Of course she knew that Wei An had put a lot of effort into teaching her, and she often felt guilty that she might have wasted Wei An's time, but Wei An was so outstanding...
She had nothing.
After being persuaded again and again by her aunt and Nanny Liang, she gave up those inappropriate thoughts and just wanted to ask Wei An to learn more for the future.
Wei An actually said that if she wanted to learn, she should ask Old Madam Wei to hire a nanny.
She also said that learning small tricks like backgammon and tossing pots was just for fun and she didn't need to take it too seriously. She should learn more about the rules and how to behave from the maids in the future, as this was the most important thing.
Until now, she still finds Wei An's words harsh and unpleasant.
Pitch-pot is useless? Then how did Wei An impress everyone with his unique skill of pitch-pot, even Li Gui Niang was overwhelmed by him
She feels that the things she has learned very well are useless.
Wei Yupo subconsciously clenched the bracelet in his hand, lowered his head and said "yes".
After finishing the meal, he could no longer hold back his tears and lay down in Aunt Yao's arms, sobbing.
She felt that she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart - she also knew that this was a very good thing. Wei Yangqing had said so, and so had Old Madam Wei, that they should invite old maids released from the palace to teach her daughters the ways of the world. Those old maids were the best of the best, and many wealthy families would specially select these maids to go home and teach their daughters.
Ordinary families cannot invite him even if they want to.
But she still felt uncomfortable.
If Wei An was originally a legitimate child, she might feel better. But Wei An originally had the same birth as her! No, Wei An's birth was originally worse than hers, but because Wei Yangqing wanted to give Wei An a birth at that time... ...he put Wei An under the name of a princess... ...
She cried so hard that she could hardly breathe. She hugged Aunt Yao's arm and finally couldn't help complaining: "Aunt! I won't accept it!... I won't accept it..."
Aunt Yao frowned at her and sighed disapprovingly.
"I've explained so much to you, why are you stuck in a dead end and can't get out?"
Aunt Yao accepted her fate. If she didn't, she wouldn't have been able to live under Princess Changning for so many years. Princess Changning treated her like a docile cat or dog.
But she knew that she was a human being. What else could she ask for after becoming a concubine? In the Zhou Dynasty, no one who married a concubine had a good ending. From the day she agreed to be a concubine, she knew that her life was hopeless.
Wei Yupo's eyes were blurred with tears. She vaguely felt that she was lacking somewhere - she was inferior to her mother.
Wei An's mother died, so he adopted her to Ming Yuyou without worrying about any trouble.
But she is different, she has an aunt, and her aunt is still...
This is exactly the difference... She knew she shouldn't think this way. Thinking like this was extremely rebellious and really went against human ethics, but she couldn't stop having such thoughts.
She bit her lip, and harsh words came out uncontrollably: "Aunt! It was you who taught me not to fight or compete, and taught me to be gentle and obedient... ..They all have their own support and high branches, but what do I have?! I have nothing!"
Aunt Yao had round eyes. She frowned and widened her eyes even wider, like a frightened rabbit. It took her a while to react.
She bit her lip and sighed deeply: "What do you want to fight for?"
Wei Yupo looked at her stubbornly.
Aunt Yao smiled and reached out to touch her head. "If the old lady is mean, can the second and third masters treat her as well as their own mother? Even if you are a burden, you are still the old lady's granddaughter. Since you are her granddaughter, she will never look down on you. Isn't it for your own good to ask the foster nanny to teach you the rules this time?"
She frowned and said, "It's good to have ambition, but people can't just have ambition, they also need to have a conscience and self-knowledge. You were born in my belly, which was indeed unfair to you, but you were born in the Wei family. Even if you didn't live a happy life in the past few years, now that the princess is gone, you can be considered happy in every way."
Wei An treated Wei Yupo very well. Wei Yupo wanted to learn something and make rapid progress, so Wei An often skipped his lunch break to play pitch pot with her.
It's called playing, but in fact I'm just teaching her skills and strength.
As for clothes and jewelry, as long as Wei Yupo showed that she wanted them, she would always send them to her.
A sister like this, who is not from the same mother as her, what else can you blame
If Wei Yupo is really blinded by jealousy and cannot see the good in others, then she will destroy herself.
Aunt Yao sat down opposite her daughter and said earnestly, "Don't let your mind wander. Stay here and you will benefit from it in the future."
Wei Yupo gritted his teeth and sneered.
Aunt Yao always felt that it was better to swallow her anger, and she considered it a blessing when someone squeezed out a little bit of food from between their teeth.
She looked at Aunt Yao, who was beautiful and still looked young, and suddenly shuddered.
If she had to be like Aunt Yao in the future, living with her neck shrunk and constantly reminding herself to be law-abiding and live with her tail huddled, then what would be the meaning of living this life
She no longer wanted to live a life where she had to look at other people's opinions for everything she did. They were both young ladies from a marquis's mansion, so why should she have to rely on others for everything
Aunt Yao has been a concubine all her life and has been miserable.
But she is not a concubine, she is a proper master.
She clenched her fists tightly, her long nails digging into the flesh of her palms, and after a moment she silently raised the corners of her lips.
"I see."
But Aunt Yao knew that she hadn't heard anything at all. When she saw her leave, she put the work in her hands back into the sewing basket and sighed softly.
A heart as high as the sky, but a life as fragile as paper is better. She waved for someone to hand over Madam Liang, and solemnly warned her: "You must keep an eye on her, and never let her do anything wrong..."
Nanny Liang knew what she was worried about and quickly nodded her head and agreed.
If the master is not a good person, they, the servants, will not have a good ending.
It's just that Wei Yupo keeps quiet, but in fact, she loves to nitpick...
