I’m the Legitimate Wife - C215 Old Friend of Autumn Joy Club in Late Qing Dynasty (Part II)

“Little Uncle is so secretive, did he do something shameful?” Xu Mingwei deliberately said this to the Lady Helan as if she was scratching her head.

Lady Helan poked a finger at her forehead and covered her mouth as she laughed, “You little girl, you’re still playing with your mother, I didn’t know that I was going to tell you. When they come back at the end of October, you’ll know. ”

Hearing that “they”, Xu Mingwei faintly guessed in her heart, could it be that Little Uncle had really found Lian Qiu Bai and came back with him, so why did she say those words of apology to her face? She didn’t have the guts to guess at that, so she could only wait and see.

“Your Little Uncle sent someone to bring back some new stuff. He was also called the Miming brothers, so he thought you were just a kid. He asked people to coax you.”

Speaking of his two brothers, Xu Mingwei suddenly remembered that he hadn’t asked them about it in a while, and felt a little guilty. Lady Helan saw her expression and laughed, “Silly child, once you marry someone, you will belong to someone else. Your two elder brothers both know this as well. As long as he had weight in his heart, asking was just a lie. Now that I tell you about it, I remember something. Your brother was the concubine who took in the twins the month before last. I see that your sister-in-law was unhappy for two days, but then she sent someone to bring her some tiger-soled shoes and a tiger-headed hat. I thought to myself, ‘Even if the two of them have been here for a long time, they still won’t be able to do anything about it. It would not be good for me to persuade her to come and see you one day, so you can tell her. Even though the child and the mother are more important and the man in the family has separated, it is impossible. ”

Xu Mingwei heard and felt helpless, so she asked, “Uncle Ning’s Mansion is still not willing to let her go in the door to take a look?”

The Lady Helan sighed and said, “That’s right. I’ve never seen such a pedantic family before. I had to accompany them myself, so I was willing to meet them once or twice. I can see through your sister-in-law. She was raised like this since she was young. That’s why she has such a sticky and soft personality. ”

Xu Mingwei laughed, “I am willing to like a soft and gentle person like her. She has no heart and she is also obedient. So Mother took the place of Yang Liu Jushi and pained Sister-in-Law for my brother. ”

A warm smile appeared on Lady Helan’s face as sshe continued, “Originally, I thought that Ming Zhang would have to go against the pillar, which was why I wanted to fight for a more powerful school. Now that he was with her, there was nothing she could do. Your second brother is still alright. Back then, he hid some books that your second sister-in-law sent to you in his bag. I assume that if he really passes by, he wouldn’t end up as a pair of resentful husband and wife. ”

Xu Mingwei thought that next year would be their day off, and nodded her head, “After big brother gets the title, then it’ll be fine, big sister Rui Ning has also waited for many years.”

Lady Helan had said these good things before, so she stopped talking about his family’s matters to her. The Xu family was currently in a mess. They had no idea how to cut them, and that was all.

Before she came, fourth wife had only made a fuss once. Big Brother Feng’s wife had finally gotten pregnant with great difficulty. He taught the Lady Liang to stay behind to establish the rules, and he only knelt for an hour before losing his baby that had only been sitting for two months. When she was about to leave, she heard Xu Mingfeng and Lady Liang arguing in the courtyard.

fourth wife was also in a mess these past few years. Her eldest daughter, Xu Mingmo, had been sent home by the Duke Palaces for almost a year now, but there was still no one to bring her home. The only one who had a good time was his second daughter, Xu Minghe. She had married into the house of a colleague of the fourth wife’s master, and had worked in the house quietly to repair the house. She had now raised a pair of children, living a happy life.

In the end, it was the manager who was unkind. If he had listened to their advice earlier, his daughters wouldn’t have gone astray, not a single one of them would have returned to the stage. As for his son, Brother Feng had been doted on by the Lady Liang ever since he was young, even getting married later on, it was as if he had never grown up. His mother, the Lady Liang, would do whatever it took to get him to marry her. It was too late to blame Mother and Lady Liang for the evil consequences that had befallen them earlier on his own child.

Thinking about this, Lady Helan couldn’t help but look at Xu Mingwei with worry. She had been obedient and sensible since she was young, and had taught him to be careless and not take good care of herself. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it now. With her personality, the more others tried to persuade her, the more certain she became. Thus, she could only speak leisurely. Speaking of their courtyard, how could Lady Helan not be anxious, it was just that Xu Mingwei had put on too much airs and did not come back.

After some thought, he said the first few words. He hoped that she would be able to open her eyes and take a look at someone else’s house.

After sending off his mother and Lady Helan, Xu Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief at the door. The meaning of Lady Helan’s words were clear to her. In her heart, she knew that for other people, she would only need to use the word ‘ungrateful’ to describe her way of doing things. After a day and night, she had clearly thought about it. Life was still going on, and as long as she could hide from him, her life would still be peaceful. Originally, those days of Lv Zhu, Hong Zhu and the Cyan Plum Cherry were already here, why should he be afraid of him?

Seeing that his wife had come by once, Wan Rong’s master’s face lightened up, and his heart calmed down a lot. She stepped forward and said, “Grandma, the last time you ate that Heavy Sun Cake was delicious, Nanny Xu was sitting at the back, do you want to take a look?”

Seeing that she was determined to please him, Xu Mingwei smiled and replied, “That’s fine, I have nothing else to do.”

The master and servant duo entered the kitchen one after the other. When Nanny Xu saw her, she was slightly surprised, but she quickly came back to her senses and smiled, “Grandmother, do you want to eat that cake? Just as we were about to let the little girls carve it in the mold, we’ll send it up to the steamer in a short while. ”

Wan Rong then gave her a look, and laughed: “Why don’t you take a handkerchief and wipe Grandma’s hands, I have eaten this cake before, and have never made it myself.”

The Nanny Xu understood and immediately let Yue Huang and Soo Zhi go forward to tie up Xu Mingwei’s sleeves, and then handed over the new white handkerchief, after washing her hands and wiping them clean, he then led her to the front of the table and smiled, “It’s good that grandmother is using these models, the ingredients inside are all good, you can press them down like this and it will be fine.”

As he spoke, he demonstrated it once more, but it was actually very simple. Xu Mingwei understood it with just a glance. Originally, they only came to deal with Wan Rong, but now that they had taught the Nanny Xu a lesson, they became quite playful and took the models from him and started carving.

As she watched from the side, she saw that each one of them was carved very far away, causing her heart to ache. The Nanny Xu in front warned him repeatedly, telling him to go along with the previous arrangement so that he would not waste any rice flour. Since there was a layer of filling in the middle, it didn’t look like a dough that was being kneaded again. The leftover bits and pieces of the mold were cooked and cooked for them to eat.

Nanny Xu saw that Night Cui had revealed a face, and took the chance when Xu Mingwei was not paying attention to pinch her arm. Night Cui immediately lowered her head and went to the side to ignite the fire, so as to not let others see that something was amiss.

Xu Mingwei was overjoyed, she finally stopped after playing around for an entire steamer. Nanny Xu then said ingratiatingly, “Since grandmother’s cage is cooked, grandma will call Night Cui and the others to send it to each courtyard. After all, Grandmother made them personally.”

Xu Mingwei laughed in her heart. Compared to those Soup Dumplings made by her servants, which she could only move her lips and look at, this was indeed something “personally” made by her own hands. She did not have any objections, it was only right for her to show her filial piety to the elders in front of her.

“Apart from those that are sent to various places, leave a plate for me to taste and see if I can carve it myself.”

Nanny Xu agreed quickly, then sent her and Wan Rong out. She turned around and knocked on Wan Cui’s head, “You can’t even coax me, how dare you give me a look, you really raise your guts.”

Night Cui sniffled in grievance, while Xiuzhi watched from the side with a wink, not daring to speak any good words for her. The two of them were nervously ducking their heads, Nanny Xu raised her chin towards the cake case and said, “Why aren’t you guys treating the rest? Leave a few that you can use, and cook and eat the rest yourself. ”

This meant that he was letting them off easy. Nightmare Cui and Xiuzhi looked at each other, then showed joy on their faces. They then replied, “This servant will go and prepare the dishes now.”

For a moment the kitchen was blissful. Nanny Xu only turned her head to look at Little Flame as a faint smile appeared on her face.

When the pastries were done cooking, Nanny Xu taught the two to send them across the courtyard. She especially instructed Yue Cui to send a plate of pastries over to the study room, stating that it was personally made by Grandmother. Chen Cui didn’t know what had happened. She thought that she was just passing a goose for her two masters and had gone away on her own.

When Fu Heng saw the plate of pastries, he was startled. When they all left to try a piece, his heart turned cold. This was not something that she had personally made, it was clearly the work of the Nanny Xu. It would be weird if she was able to get over it so quickly after having caused such a ruckus last night. He could not help but feel a little sad, but when she thought about how he would not believe himself for a long time, he would eventually see the truth. As he consoled himself, he felt better.

With such a plate of pastries as a ladder, Fu Heng took advantage of the pastry plate to go back to his own yard at noon. He taught Xu Mingwei a cold laugh, “There’s no need to painstakingly return the plate that was smashed to the ground at home.”

Fu Heng endured it and continued to eat, accompanied by lunch. Xu Mingwei couldn’t possibly chase him away in front of the Little girl! Little girl, so she had to bear with it. In this way, the two of them faced each other daily and were at peace.

One day in November, the gatekeeper came to report that the long-lost Miss Biao had finally returned. Everyone from the Fu Clan went to the entrance to welcome them, only to see a sedan landing before the door. The one who lifted the curtain was a handsome man.

Just as the Fu family members were feeling puzzled, they heard Xu Mingwei exclaiming softly, “Little Uncle?”
