After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 386 How could she be afraid of him?

Murong Jiuli still ran to the palace whenever he had time.

Wei Zi took advantage of her coming to send Beigong to eat and drink and inquired: "How is my cousin doing in your house? Has she been bullied by anyone? She has been homeless since she was a child and has no one to take care of her. She is a poor person."

Murong Jiuli looked at her strangely.

Wei Zi was puzzled: "Miss Jiuli?"

"She's pitiful?" Murong Jiuli was annoyed. "She has been married to the Xiangfu for half a month and almost turned the Xiangfu upside down. How can she be pitiful? You know my father and my aunt? They were both ruthless when they were young. It was only after I burned their legs that they became a little more obedient. Now that my aunt sees that Murong Jinglie has married, she thinks that she can finally have someone to deal with, so she starts to act like a demon again and wants to set rules for Yuhehuan."

Wei Zi knew that Yu Hehuan was probably not at a disadvantage, but he still couldn't help but ask: "What happened next?"

Murong Jiuli sneered: "When Yu Hehuan was serving tea, my aunt deliberately asked the maid to bring the scalding hot tea and asked Yu Hehuan to hold it in her hand, so that she would know who had the final say in the prime minister's house. As a result, Yu Hehuan directly I poured the whole cup of hot tea on my aunt's hand, which caused a large blister and made her scream. "

Wei Zi babbled.

Yu Hehuan has a temperament that refuses to suffer, and this indeed seems to be her handiwork.

As Murong Jiuli talked, he gradually became gloating: "You also know that my grandmother is in charge of the prime minister's house, but my grandmother is old and her health is getting worse, and my aunt is disabled, so after Yu Hehuan married over, , my grandfather and eldest brother arranged for her to take charge of the family. As a result, Yu Hehuan actually started a business in the house, and wanted to marry my father's beautiful concubine, which made my aunt so angry that he became paralyzed. He almost died on the woman’s belly!”

Wei Zi was silent.

It sounds like Jade Acacia has caused quite a stir in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

She said sarcastically: "Aren't your grandfather and eldest brother angry?"

"That old man Murong Tao only wants to seize power, so how can he have time to care about this? Besides, to him, my father and aunt are both abandoned children, and it doesn't matter whether they die or not. As for my eldest brother, He is not close to the people in the house, he is like a monk who has cut off all ties. He doesn't care about Yu Hehuan. It's really annoying. Yu Hehuan is actually more of a house disturber than me. No, I have to go back and beat him up. Murong Xiangxue had a hard time with my aunt, she can’t compete with me!”

Wei Zi watched her leave quickly, and a stone hanging in her heart finally fell.

Yu Hehuan is fine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, that's good.

A cold autumn rain.

Wei Zi couldn't miss Yu Hehuan for long before Zhou Jing's wedding came.

She ordered Qing Ju to open the warehouse, picked out many good things from it, including silks, jewels and corals, and sent them to Zhou Jing Palace in boxes.

When Zhou Xianji came back from outside, he happened to see the palace officials leaving Jibei Palace carrying more than a dozen boxes and cages.

Wei Zi saw him and explained with some embarrassment: "These are the things in my dowry. I wanted to give them to Jing'er to add some happiness to Jing'er. I didn't use the things I sent to Beigong as a favor."

Zhou Xianji looked at her cautious posture, feeling helpless and distressed.

He said softly: "So what if I just take it? You are the mistress of the North Palace, and the key to my warehouse over there was also handed over to you early in the morning. You can do with the treasures in the warehouse how you like. Xiao Zi , there is never any need to be polite between you and me.”

Wei Zi smiled and said yes.

When she accompanied Zhou Xianji to the main hall, she secretly thought that he was really a good person.

If she hadn't been abducted back then, if she hadn't met Xiao Fengxian, maybe she would have fallen in love with him.

but……

There is no if in the world.

Perhaps because she couldn't respond to Zhou Xianji's feelings, she always had a trace of guilt in her heart, and she couldn't enjoy his kindness with peace of mind.

Dinner is ready in the kitchenette.

Zhou Xianji resigned from the palace and served a bowl of fish soup for Wei Zi: "Your uncle ordered someone to send news that Zhou Xianyang, Xiao Lingxiao and others plan to take action on Jing'er's wedding day."

Wei Zi was startled: "So soon?" "It is rare for the palace to hold happy events. By then, everyone's attention will be on Jing'er, which is undoubtedly the best time for them to force the palace." Zhou Xianji explained, "There will be a scene in the palace. Chaos, you don’t need to send it back to Beigong, I will arrange for someone to escort you to Concubine Rong’s palace.”

Wei Zi understood what he meant.

The man on the dragon throne has been ruthless and ungrateful all his life, and he doesn't even care about his biological son and first wife.

The only weakness is Concubine Rong.

Therefore, Concubine Rong's bedroom is undoubtedly the safest place in the entire palace.

She took two sips of fish soup and suddenly asked, "What about you?"

There is a little worry hidden in the beautiful almond eyes.

Zhou Xianji looked gentle.

Being able to be looked at by Xiao Zi with such worried eyes made him feel that his life was worth it.

He said: "I'll be fine, don't worry."

The sun sets early today, the clouds are gathering outside the palace, and the autumn rain soon begins to fall.

The two of them ate their dinner in relative silence.

I don't know how long it took, Wei Zi rolled up her sleeves and poured a glass of osmanthus wine for Zhou Xianji, and suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that Marquis Changping and Sun Huangchan died suddenly in the mansion a while ago, and their heads were also cut off. I think, Could this be your handiwork?”

Zhou Xianji lowered his eyelashes and picked the crabs for her, and said calmly: "They have a grudge against you, and keeping them will be a disaster after all. Although I grew up reading Confucian classics, I believe in the principle of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. Xiao Zi, I just hope you won't be afraid of this. It’s better for me.”

He did not dare to look directly into Wei Zi's eyes, as if he was afraid of seeing blame and fear in them.

He put the picked crab meat and crab roe into Wei Zi's plate and wanted to peel off another one for her.

The hall is brightly lit by candles.

Wei Zi looked at him.

He was born with the light, wind and moon, high posture and divine presence, like the snow on the mountains and the clouds in the sky.

As a prince, he couldn't ask for any kind of woman, yet he was willing to wait for her for so many years.

Even if he knew that she was married, even if he knew that she had another man in her heart, he still liked her as always.

She thought, how could she be afraid of him?
She looked at the snow-white and tender crab meat on the plate and chuckled: "I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you in this life."

"If you love someone, do you need her to repay you?" Zhou Xianji also laughed.

He doesn't know how others feel when they love someone.

He only knows that he loves someone and just wants her to be happy and successful.

He didn't want Xiao Zi to repay her. It was good enough for Xiao Zi to live well and allow him to love her in his own way.

In a blink of an eye, the day of Zhou Jing's wedding came.

Today is a crisp autumn day with no clouds in the sky.

When Wei Zi came over, many harem empresses and official wives had gathered in Zhou Jing's palace.

Xue Ziyu and Wei Feishan were also there.
