After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 39

Wei Zi was stunned: "Where did I say this? My parents-in-law are too big, how could I report on you? To tell you the truth, when the incident happened, I was pushed down the hillside and unconscious, so I was lucky not to be arrested If you don't believe me...you can ask Sister Du Juan!"

Xiao Dujuan's eyes dodged, unnatural.

She was the one who pushed Wei Zi down the hill with her own hands, but she didn't expect to help this little bitch instead!

She said impatiently: "It's all over, why are you still talking about that crap?! Mother, let's go home quickly, and make people laugh at us for nothing in the street. Do you want our family's decency and elegance?"

She lowered her head and hurried into the carriage.

Seeing her secretive appearance, Xing guessed that she pushed Wei Zi.

Wei Zi didn't care about it, it was fine.

In all seriousness, her daughter will have to stay in prison for a few more months after her attempted murder.

She didn't dare to mention Chashan anymore, so she had to go home with a dark face.

Because they were caught stealing in public, almost the whole family went to jail, how embarrassing it is to speak out.

Xiao Dujuan has no face to go to school, and hides in the boudoir all day long.

The Xing family was also embarrassed to show embarrassment in front of the neighbors in the neighborhood, so she also hid at home, drinking and gambling with Mrs. Liu and others when she had nothing to do.

All of a sudden, the whole Xiao Mansion was filled with smoke and smog. The adulterous affairs of the servant girls and the thieves were like a lawless gambling den.

When Xiao Gui came back from doing business outside, he couldn't even eat warm food, and he was afraid that Mrs. Xing would not dare to say more, so he had to write a letter to complain to Xiao Lingxiao, telling him to quickly find a way to take him to the capital to enjoy the blessings.

The southeast corner of Xiao Mansion.

The small garden here is thriving, and the grass and trees are clean.

Xiao Fengxian hired craftsmen to renovate Wei Zi's boudoir.

The windows of the present boudoir are bright and clean. The room is furnished with yellow rosewood furniture. The newly added bookshelves and pens, inks, papers and inkstones are simple and exquisite. In the cages are placed this spring’s newly cut skirts and embroidered shoes, and there are several boxes of rouge on the makeup mirror. Gouache.

Xiao Fengxian opened a delicate shell.

The shell is filled with snow-white balm like suet jade.

He picked out a piece with his little finger, took Wei Zi's hand, and wiped it on the back of her hand: "This is a pearl ointment that moisturizes the skin. My sister-in-law applies it every morning and evening, and in the future, I will also have a pair of white and tender hands."

The boy's hands were warm and firm.

Wei Zi blushed.

After all, he is his brother-in-law, and the act of holding hands and applying pearl ointment is too intimate.

Because she hadn't celebrated Jiji's birthday yet, even she and Xiao Lingxiao, the closest thing they ever did was holding hands.

Wei Zi withdrew his hand and stammered, "I... I will do it myself..."

She lowered her head and slowly spread the pearl ointment evenly. The skin touched by Xiao Fengxian became inexplicably hot. Feeling his half-smiling gaze, her face became even more enthusiastic.

"Miss!"

Qingju was holding a basket of fresh cherries, and suddenly stepped into the boudoir excitedly: "Ms. Zuo sent my servant to give you cherries to eat! Miss Zuo also asked my servant to tell you that Zhangjia Restaurant collapsed in the middle of the night last night!"

"Collapse?"

"Really? It rained in the middle of the night last night, and the foundation was swollen. Miss Zuo woke up this morning, and saw that the opposite door was a pile of ruins! Originally, they were ahead of us, and they rushed to cover it to the fifth floor. It's good now, the whole thing has collapsed!"

Wei Zi's eyes are shining, it seems that she has calculated well.

Qingju put the cherries on the table, "The people of the Zhang family howled there early in the morning, crying loudly! It will take a lot of time to rebuild the restaurant!"

Wei Zi sat down.

It will take at least two or three months to rebuild the building.

During this time, it was enough for her restaurant to gain a firm foothold in Lingzhou.

Xiao Fengxian picked up a cherry and brought it to Wei Zi's lips: "Sister-in-law can rest easy."

The fingertips touched the girl's lips, warm and soft.

He loves it.

His eyes were dark, like the dangerous vertical pupils of a poisonous snake staring at its prey.

Ever since he hit the mountain temple that night, this little widow seemed to have cast a spell on him. The throbbing hidden deep in his heart was like a weed sprouting from the ground, growing crazily against the spring breeze, luring him to get close to her non-stop. .

But rather...

Wei Zi avoided his hand calmly.

She grabbed a bunch of cherries and handed them to Qingju, and said softly: "You take it and eat it."

Xiao Fengxian's hands froze in the air.

After a while, he threw the cherry into the bamboo basket, as if nothing had happened: "Look at the cherry juice still on the corner of her mouth, you know she has eaten it halfway. This greedy servant should be killed." , what does sister-in-law reward her for?"

Qingju raised her sleeves in fear and wiped the corners of her mouth, then quickly knelt down on the ground: "My servant knows I'm wrong, please don't punish me! This servant will definitely not steal food in the future!"

"It was he who wanted to kill you, not me," Wei Zi quickly helped her up, "Why did you beg me? Even your contract of prostitution is in his hands."

Qingju didn't dare to look at Xiao Fengxian, and said cautiously: "We as servants and guards all know that if we make a mistake, instead of begging the young master for mercy, we should beg the young lady. Who doesn't know that the young master puts you on the top of his heart, you If you spare us, the young master won't say anything!"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Zi was stunned.

"I cut off my tongue if I can't speak." Xiao Fengxian said sadly, "Go away?!"

Qingju, a careless girl, cried out of fright, and ran out scrambling.

The boudoir is silent, and a needle can be heard.

The window is covered with a layer of green gauze. Through the green gauze, peonies in the garden can be vaguely seen swaying and whirling. The spring is lazy and the sun is late. The silhouettes of two people are reflected in the bronze mirror. They are in the same room. The boudoir is inexplicably charming and ambiguous.

But Wei Zi knew that they were uncles and sisters-in-law, the two people who were most unlikely to be together in the world.

Wei Zi pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "Second brother, we really got too close during this time, we don't need to make people gossip, maybe it will hinder your reputation and affect your official career, or—"

Xiao Fengxian's eyes turned cold: "Why, my sister-in-law wants to kick me away after using me?"

"When did I use you?"

Xiao Fengxian said coldly: "Teaching you to read and write, planning for you to make money, everything, why not use it?"

Wei Zi squeezed the small handkerchief tightly, her cheeks flushed with anger.

She said: "If I really want to use you, why should I make fish for you every day, why should I stay up all night to make clothes for you, why should I tell you those things that I have put my heart out to make you improve?! I just need to take care of myself, why bother Take care of you?!"

"Since it's not about taking advantage, then it's about trading. Now that the transaction is over, my sister-in-law has a restaurant, and I dare to show my face to discuss business, and my wings are hard, so I want to kick me away. People say that the most poisonous woman's heart, sister-in-law is really serious today. Let me see it."

"you--"

Wei Zi was so angry that his chest heaved violently.

This man has a stubborn temper, a hard mouth, and loves to get angry with her, like that grinning wild dog in the vegetable market, who dares to bark for no reason, and she always can't win him.

She said: "Can't you see how I feel about you?!"

Xiao Fengxian's heart tightened.

He stared at Wei Zi with his heart hanging, and said in a hoarse voice, "What's on your mind?"
