I’m the Legitimate Wife - C225 Meeting Fu Heng's Examination in Spring (1)
Early morning on the next day, Xu Mingwei woke up with her eyelashes fluttering. She was the only one left in the room, and the bed beside her had long since turned cold. She lowered her head to look at the mess in front of her. The memories of last night flooded back into her cage, but her eyes were clear and cold.
Wan Rong and Wan Rou who were waiting outside were constantly on alert, when they heard the commotion inside, they immediately brought water in through the curtain. Wan Rou’s eyes turned venomous, she immediately saw the scene on the bed, and could not help but laugh: “Grandmother, Young Master was called over to reply, and specifically instructed the servants not to wake up, but you did not expect yourself to wake up already.”
This was speaking up for Fu Heng. Xu Mingwei looked at her indifferently and did not say a word.
Wan Rong calmly nudged Wan Rou with her elbow, then giggled at Xu Mingwei, “Does Grandmother want some soup? After drinking that wine last night, I’m afraid I’ll have a headache right now. ”
Xu Mingwei nodded and said, “Bring me a bowl.”
Wan Rou knew that she had said the wrong things and hid to the side to help Xu Mingwei wash her face. In fact, they didn’t really ask Fu Heng to bribe them when they got close to him, and had second thoughts. However, in the past few days, although Young Master had coldly hurt Master’s heart, he knew that he was in the wrong. He could only carefully hold him out with utmost sincerity. After teaching them to change their minds, they thought that this couple would probably have been together for a long time. To be able to be intimate with each other was better than to keep an eye on each other. Sigh, even though there were signs of improvement last night, Master’s complexion did not seem to be any better. Wan Rou secretly sighed in his heart. Her hands were extremely nimble as she carried the used up hot water in one hand and the handkerchief in the other, and left the room.
Just as she reached the corner, she was caught by Wan Rong and grabbed onto her arm. Wan Rou was in pain, and almost knocked over the washbasin. Luckily she reacted quickly and did not make any loud noises.
“You’re courting death! If you pinch him the moment you get up, you’ll have to ask him in the washbasin.” Wan Rou complained as she put down the thing in his hands, in case Wan Rong suddenly started to fight with her again.
“You are the one who is courting death. He really had a pair of eyes and ears. “If I didn’t remind you earlier, someone like grandma who was so meticulous would have refused to use you. Let’s see where you can cry from now on.”
Wan Rou still wanted to argue that she was doing this for her master’s own good, but when the words reached her mouth, she swallowed them back.
In the past, when he was still at home, hadn’t his grandmother’s wet nurse, Mrs. Tang, been driven out because of this? A four year old child couldn’t eat this food or that food because the wet nurse wanted him to grow up. In reality, all the food had been taught to eat by Lady Tang … Then the master had said it clearly before his wife, what she had brought to the kitchen in the first few days, and what she had eaten. When his wife found out, she was naturally furious and immediately chased the Tang clan out.
Wan Rou could still clearly remember what kind of expression she had on her face when she saw the Tang clan members being chased out with their bags and bags, when she was not even as strong as them. She didn’t feel proud, nor did she feel disgusted. She just coldly looked at the Tang clan’s sorry figure as they left. Since that time, Wan Rou had always been particularly afraid of the young mistress she served. After a few days, Wan Rong and the others seemed to have gone up to the large warehouse to retrieve something. When the two of them were the only people left in the room, Xu Mingwei, who was originally flipping through books, suddenly said something without end, “In this world, it is extremely easy to say that I am doing it for your own good, no?”
Wan Rou originally thought that she was asking him, but when she turned back, she had already lowered his head.
With these words, she had been chewing and sleeping for the past few days, and gradually understood what a master was like and what a servant was.
He was familiar with the way things were in his heart, but now he had made the same mistake again. Wan Rou’s face turned white, and thanked Wan Rong: “It’s a good thing that I had sister’s advice, I didn’t know I was wrong.”
Wan Rong revealed a smile, and said with a low voice: “I said earlier that you were blind and deaf, but I mean it. Think about what was going on last night. I’m afraid grandma is not feeling well right now, and you’re still talking about the pot in front of her. ”
She then looked around vigilantly, making sure that Jade Peaches and the rest were far away from them and unable to hear anything, and then whispered into Wan Rou’s ears: “Did you hear Grandma ask for the medicine?! Are you stupid? ”
Wan Rou immediately understood, and laughed for a moment: “It really was me who became an idiot. Good elder sister, luckily there’s someone as smart as you in our house. No wonder grandmother dotes on you the most. ”
Wan Rong laughed and pushed her, seeing the Old Lai family’s bright eyes looking over, she immediately poked Wan Rou, and said with a serious face: “There’s still some wine waiting inside, go send it over.”
As he said that, he handed over the tray placed on the stone table to Wan Rou. Wan Rou knew that she was making a raft for him and nodded gratefully at her.
Wan Rou went into the house to send the soup, and as she poured more water, she said to Xu Mingwei, “In the morning, the kitchen made fresh peanut butter, almond tea and chicken cake, do you want some too, Grandmother? Or did you only use the Silver Thread Porridge? ”
Xu Mingwei just finished drinking the soup, her head was still dizzy and she had no appetite. She rubbed her forehead and said, “Just a bowl of congee, cut half of the salted duck egg then.”
After Wan Rou heard this, she sent Meng Yang to the kitchen to ask more, but she knew his place, so she walked behind Xu Mingwei and slowly massaged her temples.
“I have nothing to do in the morning, why don’t I lie down and sleep for a while?”
Xu Mingwei found it funny. The few monsters in her room were too strange, and too straightforward. She had just given her a look, but now she was trying her best to sell it in front of her.
“Alright, alright, teach Meng Yang and the others to see, do you girls still have some face?” She held Wan Rou’s hand and laughed.
Coincidentally, Meng Yang walked in from outside with the food box, and upon hearing Master call out her name, her large and clear eyes stared straight at her, and asked, “Grandmother is a slave?”
He really agreed with what he thought. Xu Mingwei could not help but burst out laughing, and said gently, “I was just saying that you did a good job of it, so these few things will be placed in this room.”
She then looked towards Wan Rou and instructed, “Get the kitchen to prepare some hot water, they are going to be used soon.”
Just as Wan Rou wanted to ask what kind of hot water she used in the morning, she caught a glimpse of the bed that had turned over from the corner of her eyes.
When Fu Heng returned, Xu Mingwei was lying on the soft couch, drying her hair. She was only wearing a red-coloured, tall waist jacket, revealing a large area of snow white at her neck. She was so greedy that she couldn’t even move her eyes. When she thought about how passionate she was when she was drunk last night, she couldn’t help but gasp for breath in her ear … Fu Heng’s throat moved.
Wan Rong was originally drying Xu Mingwei’s hair, when she turned to look at him, she glanced at Meng Yang and asked: “I’m back, do you want a cup of hot tea?”
Fu Heng then struggled to shift his eyes away from Xu Mingwei’s body and looked at him. Only after responding for a while did he finally understand what she was asking him about.
“Tea…” No, just a glass of cold water. ”
Meng Yang looked at Wan Rong with difficulty, seeing the latter nod towards her, she then picked up the plate and went out.
“You … How was your morning? ” Fu Heng asked hesitantly, his eyes dull as he stared at the handful of ink-flushing hair on Wan Rong’s hands.
Xu Mingwei turned around to look at him, her expression bland, and said, “I’ve already drunk the Sober Wine Soup.”
She knew clearly that she was not asking about this, but Fu Heng choked and did not have the face to ask further, taking the chance to nod his head, “That’s good.”
For a moment, he was speechless.
Xu Mingwei turned around to look at him, a little nervous between her brows, and sighed in her heart. She was the one who took the initiative to settle the score from last night. Thus, she opened her mouth and asked, “Mother called you over early in the morning, is there anything important?”
Seeing that she was willing to ask him, Fu Heng was happy, and said warmly: “There’s nothing important, I just want to ask about the wedding ceremony yesterday.”
Fu Heng hid the truth and did not say anything. Actually, it was because yesterday when Lady Wang got up and changed her clothes at the banquet, passing by the Xu family’s small garden, she heard a voice from behind the fake mountain. She did not intend to eavesdrop on him, but unfortunately, she heard the three words “bride” and quickly pulled Nanny Xue to the side. He was saying that Lian Qiubai had been tainted by a thief and was no longer a virgin. Now that he was in such a hurry to get married, perhaps there was such a thing going on in his stomach. If Nanny Xue had not held back Lady Wang and not taught her to jump out, there might have been trouble during the wedding banquet.
Even though the mouth was long on someone else, it was hard to avoid people chewing on the back. But she was a good and innocent girl, and she grew up looking at her as if she were her own daughter. How could Lady Wang endure this! At that time, they were afraid that the people behind the fake mountain would bump into them, so Nanny Xue dragged Lady Wang to leave first. However, other than her family, there was no one else who knew of the accident that had happened to Lian Qiubai.
Lady Wang was so angry that her liver hurt last night, so she called Fu Heng over early in the morning to ask him questions. As for why Fu Heng did not ask Xu Mingwei just to ask, he was very clear about the reason in his heart. As a result, he was even more afraid to say it in front of Xu Mingwei. I’m afraid her mother still suspects the Xu family a little more. After all, Xu Mingwei was very clear about the matter of Lian Qiubai returning home, and that gossip happened in their Xu Family’s garden …
At that time, even Fu Heng could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Luckily, he had managed to convince his father to go out and stay further away from home, so he didn’t mind.
