After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Xue Mansion's birthday banquet was grand.

Xue Shangshu wanted to reconcile Xue Ziyu and Wei Ling, so he arranged for her to sit at the same table with the people from the Zhenguo Palace.

Seeing that Zhou Jing was also at the table, Xue Ziyu couldn't help but act like a mother-in-law, waiting for Zhou Jing to go over and serve her. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jing didn't give her a serious look after the initial greetings.

Xue Ziyu was so angry that he couldn't help but give Wei Ling and Wei Changjin frequent glances, hoping that they would stand up for him. Unexpectedly, because of Wei Feishan and Zhou Xianyang's rebellion, Wei Ling, Wei Changjin and others also They are not willing to talk to her, let alone stand up for her.

As a result, Xue Ziyu's face turned dark before the dishes were even served.

Wei Zi took in all the changes in her expression, pursed her lips into a slight smile, and then pretended not to notice, turning her head to talk to Zhou Jing.

Xue Ziyu's hands placed under the table were clenched tightly, and her nails almost pierced into her palms.

Her eyes wandered repeatedly between Wei Zi and Zhou Xianji, and in the end, she seemed to be trying her best to endure something, and forced a smile.

She took the initiative to ask Wei Zi: "How are you doing in the palace?"

There was silence on the table for a moment.

Wei Ling and others all stared at her with strange eyes.

After all, everyone knows that she doesn't like Wei Zi.

Wei Zi just thought that she had nothing to say to ease the embarrassment, so he calmly replied: "His Royal Highness treats me very well."

Xue Ziyu looked at Zhou Xianji. The man in white clothes was more noble than snow. He was carefully peeling crabs for Wei Zi. He looked particularly gentle and easy-going, but he was also of noble status. Good home.

It would be great if her fan could be Zhou Xianji's princess.

As she thought this, the smile on her face became more sincere, and she praised: "I have watched the prince grow up. I remember that whenever his highness was in good health, he would go to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to find a brocade and a fan. By the way, Your Highness hugged Shan'er when he was young, do you still remember?"

Zhou Xianji hugged Wei Feishan?

Wei Huanjin, Zhou Jing and Wei Zi couldn't believe it and looked at Zhou Xianji at the same time.

Zhou Xianji raised his head, frowning slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Auntie, did you remember it wrong? Gu Yi has always been ill and his bones are broken. How can he hold Wei Fei Fan? I think it was his third brother who carried him. Although Gu is stupid, he also knows that men and women are seven years old. The reason for not being together is that I went to Zhenguo Duke's Mansion just to talk to Hua Jin, but I never asked Wei Feishan for it. Auntie should not make up these words just for the sake of Wei Feishan's reputation. "

He denied it so decisively.

Xue Ziyu couldn't keep it off her face for a moment, so she had to say yes.

When the banquet was over, Mrs. Xue warmly invited the female relatives to watch the play in the backyard of Xue's house.

Wei Zi and Zhou Jing were not interested in watching the show, and were about to go to the garden pavilion to hide in peace. A nun came over with a smile and asked: "Concubine, Madam, please come over and talk."

Wei Zi recognized her as Xue Ziyu's confidant, and couldn't help but wonder: "Mother, please ask me to speak alone?"

"Yes, Madam is waiting in the west pavilion."

Zhou Jing asked with concern: "Xiao Zi, do you want me to accompany you?"

Wei Zi patted her hand to indicate that she didn't have to, and walked into the pavilion with the nanny.

When they arrived at the pavilion, Xue Ziyu raised her hand and said, "Sit down."

"If there's something wrong with mother, you can just tell her directly." Wei Zi sat down and got straight to the point.

Xue Ziyu laughed twice, with a rare look of love on his face: "I have owed you all these years. I know that you are resentful towards me and wish that your father and I could never remarry."

Wei Zi said frankly: "I have never thought about it like this." "You don't have to explain. I have been here. I know very well what you little girls are thinking." "But I also want to warn you, no matter how much you resent me, the fact that I am your mother will never change."

Wei Zi picked up a cup of tea, lowered her eyes and sipped it lightly.

She and her mother couldn't communicate.

She should have expected this.

Xue Ziyu continued: "You are the only concubine beside the prince. He likes to take you with him when he goes in and out of the palace. You are very prosperous now. But Xiao Zi, have you ever considered that there will be other concubines around the prince in the future? woman?"

The tea is clear and bitter.

Wei Zi had already anticipated what Xue Ziyu was going to say next.

Sure enough, Xue Ziyu talked eloquently: "He will eventually marry the main concubine in the future, and the prince's concubine cannot be just you. At that time, how should you deal with yourself? From my perspective, It would be better for you to recommend a girl who knows the truth to him as the crown prince while his heart is still with you."

Wei Zi laughed.

She stared into Xue Ziyu's eyes: "For example, recommending Wei Fei Fan?"

Xue Ziyu's face was full of seriousness: "No matter how Shan'er and you quarrel, it's just a small quarrel between sisters. In the final analysis, you are still sisters, and you have more affection than others. For example, Zhou Jing, do you think she is really Does she regard you as a sister? You are young and confused, and you don’t know that she is just using you. She wants to marry your brother, so she treats you well. Shan’er is different. If you two sisters marry into the East Palace together, It's better to take care of each other, isn't it? It's better for her to be the princess than for other girls to be the princess, isn't it?

Wei Zi didn't know how Xue Ziyu had the nerve to say these words.

She stood up and said, "Wei Feishan and I have sworn hatred. If my mother wants me to recommend her as the crown princess, I'm afraid she has made a wrong calculation. Furthermore, she cheated on the prince by getting pregnant before we were married. Such bad conduct Even if His Highness lets go, the emperor will not allow her to take over the East Palace. Please don’t mention this kind of thing again in the future.”

Xue Ziyu watched her leave with her sleeves rolled up, gritting her teeth and throwing the tea cup on the table.

"I don't know what to look up to!" She cursed angrily, and then looked at Nan Bian'er thoughtfully, "I don't know how Shan'er is going. If everything goes well for her, I don't think Wei Zi will dare to do it. Dare to shout with me!"

The nanny on the side said respectfully: "Counting the time, the second lady's side should be in progress. Madam, how about we go there now?"

At this moment, the south wing.

Zhou Xianji was led by the maid to the wing at the end of the corridor.

The maid said: "Madam has something to tell you. It seems to be related to the concubine. You will find out when you go in."

She opened the door.

Zhou Xianji stepped into the threshold, and the fan was quietly closed behind him.

The light and shadow in the room are dim.

Walking around into the inner room, I saw a burner of incense placed in the corner. A woman wearing a red gauze skirt was sitting on her knees with her long hair hanging behind her waist. When she raised her eyes, she looked charming and innocent.

It's Wei Fei Fan.

She said softly: "Brother Xianji, my mother is not here. She left a gift for you."

Seeing that Zhou Xianji was silent, she said to herself: "I am the gift given to you by your mother."

As she spoke, she untied her already thin gauze skirt.

The skirt and shirt are stretched to the floor.

She stared at Zhou Xianji and straightened her back confidently. (End of chapter)
