Beautiful step by step

Chapter 155

It's just out of the first month, and the weather in Beijing is still a bit cold.During the winter slack period, people in the capital often gossip after breakfast, and Mother Wei’s house, where a high-ranking official son-in-law came out, is the core topic of discussion in this area.

Everyone used to talk about how blessed Mother Wei was, and even those who had been persuading her to raise a son over the past ten years or so had changed their minds one after another.Looking at the fruits, furs, and silver charcoal sent by the girls from Mother Wei's family from the northwest, they felt from the bottom of their hearts that it was better to have a girl like Wei's family than to have a bunch of sons.

There will be an accident at Wei's mother's house, and all the neighbors will come to see it.

Knowing that it was an official in the capital who came to apologize to the uncle of the Wei family, everyone felt a little envious and jealous, and felt that such a young uncle in the neighborhood had a good face.

But I didn't expect that today's incidents would happen one after another, and after pleading guilty, there would be an affair with a red apricot, which was even more exciting than singing in the New Year's Eve.

Those who watched the excitement were satisfied, but the scribe Gou, who was the source of the excitement, couldn't stand anymore.

Xiao Cui was his favorite concubine in the past two years, not to mention gentle, she even gave birth to his youngest son.But now what is this mother and son who came out of nowhere talking about?
The middle-aged woman sniveled and burst into tears: "My lord, our family has already been hired, so we will bring them over after the Chinese New Year. But brother Xiao Cui owes gambling debts outside, so his family has no choice but to send them to the family. She sold it."

Gambling debt again?
Wei Wei looked at Yan Heng, seeing him watching the farce below as usual, she felt something.

"This……"

As if aware of her gaze, Yan Heng turned his head to meet her gaze.The two people who are in the same mind, he nodded without her even asking.

This is too coincidental, yesterday the official Gou framed his son because of his gambling debts; today his favorite concubine completely ruined his marriage because of gambling debts, this happened by accident.

Not only Wei Wei thought so, but the scribe Gou below also didn't believe it, until he heard the young man's words.

"Don't believe me, my lord, but that child has a mole the size of a grain of rice on the sole of his foot?"

"You..." How would you know?Gou scribe was shocked.

"That mole is a tradition in my family, my lord, I beg you to be kind and return Xiaocui and my son to me."

Xiaocui, son... No matter how stupid the scribe Gou is, he will have a grassland growing above his head.All kinds of discussions came from around, but he couldn't hear a word from Weng Weng in his head.Standing in the ice and snow, he could only feel the contempt of the crowd piercing his body like needles, like the northwest wind that permeated the sky.

"What are you doing here!"

At the critical moment, Mrs. Gou rushed out, pushed away the pleading mother and son, and helped the scribe Gou: "Husband, don't listen to their nonsense, let's go home and interrogate Xiaocui."

Because she devoted herself wholeheartedly to her own man, Mrs. Gou hated Xiaocui who was favored even more.Now she can protect the scribe Gou, but she will never speak to Xiao Cui.And with her woman's sensitivity, after hearing what the mother and son said, she was almost sure that this matter was true.

In any case, this is her housework. Seeing her husband and son-in-law who were a little dazed, Mrs. Gou looked up.

"We've apologized today. Now that we have to do some housework, we won't be ashamed of it here."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and walked down, seeing Wei Wei's irritable attitude made her feel uncomfortable.It is true that she advocates women's self-reliance and self-reliance, but the premise of all this is that you have to be reasonable.As for Mrs. Gou's back and forth attitude, she never showed the slightest apology.

"that's it?"

Wei Wei whispered, and at the same time Yan Heng raised his voice: "Lord Gou's way of apologizing is very sincere and sincere, no wonder this kind of thing happened at home."

The ironic words made Mrs. Gou stop, turned her head and frowned: "What else do you want?"

Walking up to Qianwei, Wei smiled and said, "Look at this, we have to apologize to Mrs. Gou, after all, it made you so unhappy."

Mrs. Gou also understood when it came to this, frowning she explained: "Today we are here to apologize, I have no other intentions."

Seeing her being so straightforward, Wei Wei didn't go around the corner: "But Madam's expression now makes it difficult for people to believe your sincerity. With all due respect, an apology must look like an apology. Just hit the door vigorously and shout insults, so aggressive no one can see They will only treat it as a door-to-door challenge."

While condemning, Wei Wei will really understand why a slap can't be slapped.It's no wonder that just now the scribe Gou's attitude is so tireless, and Mrs. Gou's behavior is so unbearable to anyone who lives with her for a long time.

"Then what else do you want? To drive people to a dead end?"

Facing such a vulgar and troublesome woman, Wei Wei really couldn't say a word.She was silent on this side, but Yan Heng on the other side couldn't see her being wronged at all.

As a person who arranged the layout, Yan Heng didn't have the slightest sympathy when he saw Gou Shuli's end like this.Facing Mrs. Gou's eyes, he stabbed back coldly: "Whether Mr. Gou intends to frame you, or there is chaos in the mansion, these things have something to do with me? I think about turning big things into small things because Ah Mao is pregnant and wants to accumulate blessings." Hua Wu, some people must not put their noses on their faces."

He was speechless, and Mrs. Gou looked ashamed.Beside her, Lord Gou, who had been dazed all this time, suddenly knelt down, and three loud heads kowtowed over.

"It was Gou who deliberately framed Lord Yan, and I kowtow to apologize to him here."

After speaking, he pulled Mrs. Gou up, looked at the mother and child resentfully, and walked towards his carriage without looking back, wrapped in his coat.Seeing this, the mother and son quickly trotted up and followed, and the people watching the excitement went back to their homes one after another.

Wei Wei, who had received three bangs, listened to the discussions of the departing people, most of them condemned Gou Shuli for his villainous behavior, and felt that the depression that had been suppressed in his heart since leaving Liangzhou dissipated a lot.

On the surface, this apology was not painful or itchy, but in fact, Yan Heng, who had just entered the capital, took advantage of this incident to show off his power.

Not only that, but they also have other windfalls.

In the warm room on the west side, Wei Wei looked surprised: "Ah Heng is saying that there must be fraud in the gambling house?"

"Yes, I wasn't sure when I entered the city yesterday. But when I saw Lord Gou today, I was completely aware of it. As for the matter of pleading guilty, someone who is a little smarter and more cunning can save you from being as stiff as before. But Lord Gou What you have done is enough to prove how useless this person is. Ah Mao, if it were you, would you entrust important matters to such a person?"

"of course not."

He denied it without even thinking about it, while Wei Wei, holding the freshly brewed ginseng tea, remembered the current situation.

The Northwest military plane was leaked, and Yan Heng's iron-blooded name shook the government and the public.The two were summoned to the capital in a vague manner. There were luxuriously dressed people on the top of the tower, and there were already prepared officials under the tower.Although she saw the tricks and used them to gain authority for herself, they were completely passive during the whole process.Wei Wei hated the feeling of being led by the nose to death, but now their eyes were darkened, what should they do next?

Just when she was confused, Mother Wei walked in with a heavy face, holding the invitation card from Zhenbeihou Mansion in her hand.
