After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 40 I Don't Want To Be Your Brother

"What do you think?"

"I really love you as my younger brother!"

After Wei Zi shouted this sentence, she turned her head and lay down on the bed sobbing as if she was wronged.

She never had a family in her two lifetimes.

In this life, if Xiao Fengxian treats her well, she is willing to treat him well. Human hearts are fleshy. During this period of time, Xiao Fengxian taught her to write and make money. She felt grateful for something. Although she was not related by blood, Gradually, he was treated as his own brother.

But today...

He actually said that she was using him!

How could she not be wronged!
In the boudoir, there was only the sobbing sound of the little widow.

Xiao Fengxian looked through the veil screen, she was lying on the bed in the inner room, her figure was slender and graceful, her shoulders trembled slightly, her hands were wet with tears.

He clenched his fists tightly, and his fox eyes gradually turned red.

A heart has already sunk to the bottom, buried in endless inexplicable disappointment.

What did you say to love him as a younger brother...

It's ridiculous, does he lack her sister? !
His voice was obscure: "I don't want to be your brother."

A girl's crying voice came from behind the screen: "After all, I am not worthy. You have a bright future, and sooner or later you will have power in the world, but I am just a widow from the countryside. I can't even write well. I am not worthy of being a pawn." Brother?! You are a prince and general, and I am a widow who is not on the stage. Being taken care of by you during this time is my blessing in my previous life!"

Xiao Fengxian's heart was in a mess.

He has never looked down on Wei Zi because of her background.

He got angry and said: "If you want to make trouble like this, I will leave."

Wei Zi's temper is also stubborn: "You go!"

Xiao Fengxian walked away.

Wei Zi sat up from the bed, saw through the light gauze screen that he had really left without looking back, covered his face with a small handkerchief and began to cry again.

Xiao Fengxian returned to the study, raised her hand and overturned the table case.

After standing for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Nan Zhu!"

Nan Zhu quietly appeared: "Young master?"

"Prepare the chariots and horses and go to Yingchuan."

There are many water systems in Yingchuan, and he has a lot of water transport business waiting to be developed there.

Nan Zhu glanced at the boudoir opposite the window.

In fact, those businesses are not important, just ask your subordinates to go down and talk. His young master is rich and precious, so why bother to make a trip in person?
Presumably, it was because of the quarrel with the widow.

It's good to go out to relax and meet those beautiful girls in Yingchuan.

The young master of his family has a high status, so he will never be able to marry a widow in the future!

What a system!
The season is rainy.

At night, Wei Zi sat by the window and practiced calligraphy, but couldn't help looking at the opposite side frequently through the window screen.

The small study was dark and he was not there.

She withdrew her gaze and stared blankly at the rice paper. It wasn't until the ink dripped and smeared on the paper along the tip of the brush that she hurriedly regained her senses and continued to practice calligraphy absent-mindedly.

It's approaching the Dragon Boat Festival.

Xiao Fengxian did not show up for many days.

According to the customs of Lingzhou, people wear multicolored hand ropes on the Dragon Boat Festival, which are woven with ribbons of five colors: blue, white, red, black, and yellow. When the hand rope meets water, it turns into a dragon. Floating away in the rain can not only take away bad things on the body, but also wash away troubles and sorrows, and bring people good luck for a year.

Wei Zi put a lot of thought into weaving two exquisite multicolored bracelets.

She put on one, held the other tightly, and looked at the small study by the window.

It's almost the holidays, but the man hasn't come back yet.

……

Today we will choose the best mother-in-law and the best daughter-in-law.

On the square in front of the Confucius Temple, a large group of people watching the excitement had already gathered.

For 50 taels of silver, Xing brought Wei Zi excitedly to participate in the competition. Apart from them, there were [-] couples of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who signed up for the competition. County magistrate Chen and his wife came to watch in person, it is said that they wanted to have fun with the people.

The host of the competition is Yu Hehuan, the boss of Magpie Bridge Immortal, and——

Wei Zi stared at the stage in amazement, Brother Rong actually came to host the competition!
That's right, he is the young owner of Fengji Trading Company, and today's match is also sponsored by Fengji Trading Company, not to mention that he is eloquent and good at adapting to changes, so he must be very good at doing this kind of thing.

The first hurdle is "know each other".

The comparison is the degree of understanding between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Yu Hehuan waved the gold-woven round fan, and said crisply: "Please take a seat, and write down each other's favorite food, color, and hobbies on the paper."

Wei Zi has served the Xing family for so many years and knows her well, so he finished the answer quickly.

Holding the feather fan, Rong Jiarong read her answer sheet with a smile: "Madam Xiao's favorite food is fried chicken, her favorite color is pink, and her hobbies are drinking and gambling with the wives in the house. If you lose, you won’t give any money. It seems that Miss Wei is a filial daughter-in-law, and she got all the answers right."

The onlookers roared with laughter.

Xing's face flushed with embarrassment.

The ghost knows that this competition will read the answer sheets in public, what a shame!
When she answered, she couldn't answer any of Wei Zi's preferences.

Seeing that her group got the lowest score, she couldn't help raising her hand in protest: "Daughters-in-law serve mother-in-laws all over the world, how can a mother-in-law take the time to get to know her daughter-in-law?! Maybe I have to care what she likes?" , What don't you like?"

At the judges' table, the county magistrate's family and the master's family discussed for a while, and they all held up signs saying "the protest is invalid". The Xing family was so angry that they almost gritted their silver teeth.

The second level is "you draw and I guess".

The other mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a tacit understanding, and they can easily guess what the other party is drawing.

When it came to Wei Zi and Xing Shi, Wei Zi saw that the test question was the four-character idiom "Chicken Flying Eggs", and secretly thought that this question was really too simple, so he drew a chicken with flapping wings on the paper, and drew a picture under the chicken. A broken egg.

Xing couldn't figure out what idiom this was.

Seeing that the time was approaching, she had a flash of inspiration: "Broken...broken chick?"

Wei Zi: "..."

Broken chicken...

It seems to be very apt to her painting?

"God damn chicken!" Rong Jiarong laughed loudly, "Old Madam Xiao, the answer is to beat chickens and eggs!"

Xing's old face was flushed with embarrassment, and he glared at Wei Zi: "Draw me carefully!"

Then came "Flying Dragon in the Sky".

Wei Zi drew clouds and a dragon, and according to Xing's request, carefully added scales, and finally solemnly drew a few dragon claws on the dragon.

Xing clapped his hands: "This is so simple, it must be superfluous!"

Wei Zi was aggrieved: "Grandma, what I drew is not a snake, but a dragon, and a flying dragon in the sky."

Xing: "..."

Could that crooked thing be a dragon? !
Angrily, she threw the drawing paper on Wei Zi's face, leaned halfway over the table, and raised her hand to slap Wei Zi: "What are you drawing!"

Yu Hehuan's servant girl hurried over and pulled her away: "Madam, why are you beating someone?!"

Yu Hehuan noticed the movement here and couldn't help frowning.

She has been a matchmaker for two years and has met countless difficult mother-in-laws, but she has never met anyone who is so bold as to dare to do anything to her daughter-in-law in front of others!
She scolded: "Madam Xiao dared to attack Miss Wei in public, which shows how fierce she is in private! You made a foul in this match, and I declare that you will be eliminated directly."

Xing called out for being wronged.

However, County Magistrate Chen and others raised their placards in favor of Yu Hehuan's decision.

Xing not only failed to get the 50 taels of silver bonus, but also won the title of "the worst mother-in-law", and was dragged away by the yamen guards unceremoniously.
