Beautiful step by step

Chapter 6

The atmosphere in the cramped station room became stagnant, and Mother Wei's eyes dodged.

"Those messy things are over, why mention it?"

Wei Wei asked back: "If you really want to pass, why do you bother to talk about other things, your arms are tied tightly around your waist unnaturally."

Even with amnesia, Hong Ling is still so perceptive, Mother Wei said helplessly, "Even if you don't remember me now, I hope you can feel more at ease. It's better for you not to know about some things."

Curiosity killed the cat, Wei Wei understood that Wei's mother also had good intentions.

"I understand what you mean. Pretending to be stupid can certainly keep you safe for a while. But in this way, the knife is always held in someone else's hand, and it may be cut off from the top of the head at any time. Besides, I am not a three-year-old child. Everything is safe in the arms of father and mother, there will always be times when you can't protect me."

The last sentence provoked Wei's mother's nerves. Not long ago, she was kneeling at the feet of Mrs. Shizi, watching her daughter being tortured, not daring to vent her anger.

Originally, she was still a little hesitant to forget about those unhappy things.But after experiencing this ordeal, it seems that her daughter has grown a lot.Although she still had the same face, her gestures were crisp, giving her the feeling that she was no longer like the little maid who pestered her to make a new bracelet.

Seeing the earnestness in her eyes, Mother Wei finally made up her mind: "Forget it, just listen to it, and don't take those unhappiness to heart."

"That's natural, after all, it's all in the past."

Wei Wei answered very firmly, those memories belonged to Hong Ling, and from the perspective of a bystander, she was only rational.

"It's not as complicated as you think. Mrs. Shizi is also a woman. What she fears is nothing more than Brother Lian...that is, the friendship Shizi has for you. I have been working in the old lady's house all these years, from maid to childbirth. You combed your hair and became a mother. At that time, you had no one to take care of you. The old lady saw that you looked like a snow dumpling, and you were quiet. She loved you and raised you in Baosha. Brother Lian had not yet entered school at that time. I often come to the old lady to say hello, and you will play together when you come and go."

Before this, Wei Wei thought a lot, and also thought that the original owner might be too favored, but he didn't expect the original owner to be so favored.The favored maid in the elders' room, who is also a childhood sweetheart, looks like a big killer in house fighting.Compared with the original owner, those cousins ​​are not enough.

"Madam is concerned about the son. If you kill the son, it will be difficult to explain it. If you sell it to the capital, the son will have his own means to get me out. It's easy to buy a foreign house or something. After thinking about it, I can only find a reason to go far away." Sent out of Beijing. Wait until the son is stabilized, and then find a way to let me die of illness?"

Seeing Wei's mother nodding repeatedly, and hearing that her breathing was a little unstable at the end, Wei Wei hurriedly cast out doubts: "But I didn't have a miscarriage, shouldn't a woman have lochia after a miscarriage? She wanted to send someone, but she threw a hairpin and threw it A set of porcelain, just find any reason, why make up something that doesn't have to be?"

Wei's mother was a little annoyed: "You kid dares to say anything, and you don't have a gatekeeper on your mouth, so that others can hear you chewing your tongue."

"Isn't this aimed at you? Besides, Mrs. Shizi found this excuse to send me out of the house. Even if I didn't say it, wouldn't other people point out behind my back?"

"will not."

No... Wei Wei choked on the words, this style of painting is wrong.But after thinking about it, she also understood, and asked Mother Wei with a determined look:

"Is there another secret here?"

"Well, Mrs. Shizi wants to send a maid, it is really simple. But her plan is not only to drive you out of the mansion, but also to be the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion."

Wei Wei is not an innocent little girl who doesn't know the world. She managed the family business in her previous life.Mother Wei will start from the beginning, and she will understand the trick.

It is easy to dismiss the servant girl, but it is difficult to seize the power of the housekeeper.Mrs. Shizi is not Mrs. Hou. If she was the housekeeper, it would be very embarrassing if the servant girl came to tell the father-in-law which aunt slept in the room last night early in the morning.The world is like this, and this matter has been untenable from the beginning.

But the existence of Hong Ling gave Mrs. Shizi an excellent reason.

"The servant girl trained by the old matriarch has a deep scheming heart and caused a catastrophe. How can she have the face to preside over the ceremony in the Hou's mansion?" Saint's eye."

Daughter really amnesia?

Surprised by her sharpness, Mother Wei continued: "Uncle Wei has repeatedly made outstanding achievements in the Northwest, and last month he defeated the Wara people outside Yangguan. In the first ten days, I went with the old matriarch to the eldest princess's mansion to enjoy the flower feast, and Mrs. Wei has already been ordered by the second rank. There are so many people around to flatter me, even the old matriarch can't help lowering his profile."

"It's no wonder that Mrs. Shizi is making such a big show. It turns out that she has her natal family behind her."

The doubts were completely resolved, but Wei Wei strengthened his confidence: "From this point of view, I can't stay in this capital!"

Wei's mother was infinitely annoyed: "Why is this? I knew I shouldn't tell you this. Let's see how it scares you now."

How on earth did she imagine that she was afraid?Although a little helpless, this kind of overly nervous concern made her feel very ironic.I can't remember how long it has been since no one cared about her so much. As a wealthy person, one of the few helplessness is to always be careful to distinguish whether relatives and friends approach you for money.

With emotion in her heart, she put her arms around Wei's mother's shoulders, and the mother and daughter sat on the edge of the kang as conjoined twins. She comforted her softly: "It's not your fault, even if I forget those things, in the capital, there will always be a child." The day will come to find you. Mrs. Shizi already has a grudge in her heart, and even if she was suppressed by the old matriarch when she was in the Hou's mansion, she might not be able to tell her what to do outside."

"So you are worried about this." Wei's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "I will ask the old lady to explain the pros and cons to Brother Lian. I will bear it for a while. When the limelight passes, we will find a good family to get married, and then he will stop thinking about it, and the wife of the Shizi can let go."

When Mrs. Shizi was mentioned, mother Wei's eyes flashed cold.There are many beautiful maids in the Hou Mansion, but not everyone is as obedient as Hong Ling.The dragon has reverse scales, the phoenix has a weak neck, and the Wu family seized the power to head the house, how could the old matriarch be reconciled, and she didn't even need to take direct action in some matters.

Wei Wei was digesting what she just said, and didn't notice the change in her mood.Wei's mother's words sound logical and purposeful at first glance, but if you think about it a little deeper, you will find that they are not enforceable.

"I understand that you love me, you want to keep me under your nose, and protect me. But do you think the prince can hold it back? If he can hold it back, I will still serve you in front of the old lady. How can I have the following things? thing."

What Wei Wei didn't say was that, in her opinion, not only the prince, but also the old lady was not a sensible person.As an elder, the old matriarch has an absolute advantage in status.As long as she doesn't make a big mistake, it is her duty to discipline her granddaughter-in-law.But she had softened her bones first, no matter how popular the Wu family was, could it still be managed by the Hou family?As long as she behaves well and sits upright, relying on her superior rank in the Marquis Mansion alone is not something a second-rank minister can step on at will.

But she can't say that, just from Wei's mother's wealth, it can be inferred that she has a very different relationship with the old lady.

Sure enough, the hesitant guard mother patted her hand: "You child, now you have become a frightened bird. Don't worry, Brother Lian has always been filial. Others may not be able to say it. The old lady loves you. She will say it in person, Brother Lian." I can definitely hear it."

There was a noise outside the window, Wei Wei craned his neck to look out, and saw a white-faced gentleman with a jade crown on his head and a brocade robe walking towards this side quickly.Yan Heng stood in front of him, using the length of the scabbard, his tall and straight body completely blocked his way.The left and right assaults of the moiré sleeves couldn't escape the interception, he said harshly: "This son is also a mere official like you who can intercept with a knife?"

Don't listen to this, Wei Wei can roughly guess the identity just by looking at the luxurious clothes.

After the guess was confirmed by him himself, Wei Wei looked at the woman beside her. Mother Wei's shoulders drooped, her brows were frowned, and she seemed to be ten years older in an instant.

Poor parents all over the world, at this moment she recognized Mother Wei from the bottom of her heart.Contrary to what she had thought before, if she occupied Hong Ling's body, she would passively take over her relatives. Now she would take the initiative to include Mother Wei in her sphere of influence.

"The prince is here, mother... let's go out to greet him."

Surprised by the suddenly friendly address, Wei's mother was a little dazed, she stood up with her support, and regained consciousness when she tripped over the threshold.

In the courtyard, no matter how serious the son said, even if he was to be prosecuted for the crime of "disrespect", Yan Heng was always in front of him, like a verdant pines and cypresses, withstood the coercion without retreating a single step.

"This is a post station. The lower officials will stay in this courtyard first, and serve as the master temporarily. The guests do as they please. The women in the courtyard are inconvenient if they are ill. I am afraid it is inappropriate for the son to rush in like this. If you are disrespectful, please wait Your Majesty understands."

These words are well-founded, even if the opposite party is the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, it would be unreasonable to make trouble no matter how forceful he is.

What's more, Chu Lian has been familiar with a subset of classics and history since he was a child. He has a good personality, and he will not easily do things that are rude.When he was about to stomp his feet in anxiety, he saw the girl walking out of the room, and he was pleasantly surprised:

"Hong Ling, let me find you, did he do anything to you?"

Wei Wei took a step back, avoiding his outstretched hand.After a glance, she somewhat understood Mrs. Shizi's mood.Shizi himself is pale and beardless, exuding a bookish air all over his body.Such a noble son of Zhilan Yushu, which girl is willing to give her husband and son-in-law to other goblins after Ming Media is marrying him.

But she is definitely not going to be a concubine.Men are not dead in the world, so why bother grabbing a common cucumber.Even if cucumbers are cultivated in a pollution-free way and look great, it is disgusting enough to be licked with saliva.

"It's nothing, Ah Heng saved me."

Wei's mother was surprised. It turned out that the long follower she mistakenly thought was the fierce and vulgar soldier in the legend?How fierce!How rough!

Chu Lian didn't believe it at all: "Then how did you get this injury? Walking is a bit unnatural."

Now it was Wei Wei's turn to be surprised, he didn't know at all?
