I’m the Legitimate Wife - C232 Dark Reflection on Mingwei's Follower (China)

In the end, Xu Mingwei did not understand the dangers of this when she was young, and said with eyes wide open in shock, “It can’t be?! Wasn’t it the magistrate who ordered the annihilation of the family? How could there be someone who would cause a ruckus with the Shangguan family? ”

The Lady Helan laughed lightly and said patiently, “Is it that easy to wear this black gauze on top of the official’s head? If, to say the least, a county magistrate had to manage the finances of the territory, then who was the one who took the largest share of the taxable corvette? Wealthy people weren’t stupid. As long as they put their money in their mouths, most of the land would be saved. If you do not have any skills, all of the rich squire do not even put you in their eyes, when that time comes, can’t you just take money from the citizens, I’m afraid that neither you nor Heng Ge’er will be able to take this step? However, if the number of credits set for this year was not enough, then not only would he not be able to evaluate his performance, he would even be punished. “Therefore, it will take some ability for this official to look so mighty. Only with that black gauze hat can he wear it safely.”

Xu Mingwei felt as if another huge door to a new world had opened, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “I really didn’t think that officials would have such difficulties.”

“This is just my mom thinking too much. I don’t know if I’ll really let you guys run into these kinds of bad things. As for Ren Di, according to your grandfather’s meaning, the Emperor has high praise for Heng Ge’er, and in the future, there will definitely be times where he will need more attention, but thinking about how the young man is like a newly forged treasured sword, if he does not undergo some training, it would be difficult for him to become a great person, thus he will most likely not return with riches, you have to make preparations as early as possible. The things to eat and the clothes to wear, all have been tidied up carefully, don’t complain about the heavy baggage, I only know to regret my actions if I don’t even have enough money to buy some. ” The Lady Helan said.

Xu Mingwei said as she nodded in her mind, “Tomorrow, let Wan Rong and the others take care of him.”

Lady Helan was a bit more at ease, but before sshe left, he thought of something else and asked, “This time, if I leave, won’t your wife have to take care of herself again?”

Xu Mingwei covered her mouth and laughed, “Yes. The account in her hand had been returned long ago, and her mother-in-law had only managed it for two days before she cried out for a headache. Fu Heng then asked Third Aunt to help the butler, and Grandma’s head immediately stopped hurting. ”

Lady Helan also covered her mouth and laughed, “Your mother-in-law is stubborn, she won’t let anyone see anything. She would rather die of exhaustion than let others take advantage of her. It’s because you seek your own suffering and can’t blame others. ”

Xu Mingwei laughed, “Is that so?! “The servant in front of us wanted to divide the family and had to nod his head at his father-in-law before his mother-in-law was willing to let him go. I don’t know how much pain she’s feeling in her heart.”

Lady Helan smiled and hit her hand, and said in a displeased tone, “It’s fine if you say these things in front of Mother, but when we get to Heng Ge’er’s side, you better be more careful, and not reveal anything.”

Xu Mingwei curled her lips, “I’m not an idiot.”

Lady Helan exclaimed and said, “It looks like it.”

The mother and daughter duo burst into laughter. It was not easy to stop, but Lady Helan had to leave. She had visited her granddaughter in Jiao Jiao’s room once and was still sleeping. Even if she didn’t want to part with her, she still had to get up.

Xu Mingwei sent her to the second door and was chased back by the Lady Helan. They walked side by side as tears silently flowed down their faces, and when they arrived at the entrance of their own courtyard, they wiped them clean as if nothing had happened.

In the evening, Dong Zi came back to report that Fu Heng had met with the same year on the streets and was dragged towards the tavern. As such, dinner was served outside, so there was no need to wait at home.

Xu Mingwei was already used to it. She hugged her daughter and fed her some rice paste, and after just a few bites, she was already full.

At night, when Fu Heng returned, drunk from head to toe, although his face was red, his eyes were still clear. The Old Lai family had already instructed the kitchen to keep some hot water for them. After washing up and drinking, Fu Heng returned back to the house, and seeing that Xu Mingwei had closed the books in her hands, making it obvious that she had something to say, she couldn’t help but feel afraid. Afraid that she would say something that would pierce her heart again, Fu Heng turned around and wanted to go to bed and pretend to sleep.

Xu Mingwei tugged on his sleeve, blocking him, “Don’t sleep first, I have a few words to say to you.”

Fu Heng could only turn around and sigh, “What is it this time? Saying that, I’ll just listen. ”

Xu Mingwei pretended not to hear the tiredness in his tone, and said lightly: “My mother came by today, I’m afraid we did not expect anything, so she specifically mentioned that we need to be prepared. “You should think about it tomorrow, think about what you have to take with you, and sort out the boxes so that you don’t blame the girls for messing around in your study.”

When Fu Heng heard her say this, and that her tone clearly indicated that she was prepared to follow him, he relaxed inwardly and could not help but feel joy, and nodded: “I will remember this. We can talk about it after tomorrow. You can take care of the things in the house as you wish. ”

Xu Mingwei replied, then said: “From now on, who will you bring?”

Hearing that, Fu Heng jumped up, his face cold as he said, “Who else do you want to take? From now on, it’s just the two of us, and no one else will be here. You always don’t believe me, right? Do you have a heart? ”

Seeing that he was still angry at her, Xu Mingwei laughed in his heart. Could it be that the person following him was not the woman he had slept with, and if he did not ask her about it, he might end up saying that it was not virtuous and virtuous. But after thinking about what the Lady Helan had told him this afternoon, he patiently said, “It’s not that I don’t believe you. In the end, he had served them for a while and had not brought any of them with him. Furthermore, when it comes to appointment, other houses would always have wives and concubines, while our house does not have concubines. At that time, it would only be more troublesome. ”

Fu Heng finally understood what she meant. Being talked about behind someone’s back was not a big deal. They were afraid that if something good were to happen, they would send someone through the door. If they stayed, they might not be able to retreat, but it would only add to their worries. Only then did he nod and say, “Then we’ll do as you say and choose the honest one.”

After Xu Mingwei received the sutra, she did not bring it up anymore. Early in the morning the next day, Wan Rong called for Cherry.

Hence, when Wan Rong went to call for help, Yao Lan thought that Cherry had committed some sort of crime and was caught by the courtyard. She could only feel apprehensive in her heart, afraid that she would be implicated for no reason.

When Cherry Blossom returned from the courtyard happily, Yao Lan and Li Hong asked around and found out that the matriarch had decided to bring Cherry along to be her companion. She hated him so much that her teeth itched, but she didn’t have the guts to chase after Xu Mingwei and cause trouble in front of Xu Mingwei. She then took a detour to the Cherry House to get close to them, saying that they were sisters, and that they could look out for each other when there were more people around. Her words and other words were all hoping that Cherry would speak up for her in front of Xu Mingwei.

Hearing this, Cherry laughed out loud, and looked as if she was being difficult on the surface, then said to Yao Lan who was begging, “This matter is not easy to handle, you should know Grandma’s temper, the decision is not something we can talk about.”

When Li Hong came, she also said the same thing, causing the two of them to be extremely interested in each other, but after flattering for an unknown number of times, Cherry barely managed to open her mouth and replied, “It’s also just us two sisters, if it was anyone else, I wouldn’t have much to do. Tomorrow, I’ll see that Grandmother has called for me, and then I’ll find an opportunity to bring it up for you.”

Yao Lan and Li Hong calmed down a little after hearing what Cherry Blossom said. Seeing that the storage room was already open in the courtyard and the servants were busy moving about, the two of them anxiously looked forward to it. Every other time, they would poke their nose into the cherry house to make a sound. After waiting for three or four days, she finally got some good news from her.

The two of them weren’t someone who wouldn’t get into trouble. Just as Cherry Blossom became a problem, Yao Lan and Li Hong walked over with thanks. One of them gave him a set of silver taels, while the other gave him 10 taels of silver.

After they left, Xiao Chuan covered his mouth and secretly laughed, and said softly, “It is as Grandmother had said, the benefits are right here for you.”

Thus, she knew that Xu Mingwei had taught Cherry the method of “thank you gift”. Seeing the two aunts next door sending over silver and silver, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Cherry gave her a light look and said, “Grandmother wanted to subsidize us. It’s good that you remember to smile at us, but don’t mention it again so that we won’t have to listen to you from the other side of the wall.”

Xiao Chuan stuck out his tongue, and blinked his eyes, “This servant remembers. Then, should I take these items into the small box or give them to my family? ”

Cherry thought about it for a moment and said, “Just a month ago, I gave you money. Mom, Dad, and Sister-in-law have their own people to work with. If I give you more, I’m afraid I’ll be able to raise my sister-in-law’s greed.” “Leave these for now. I don’t know where my residence is right now. It’s so far and so far away, so I’d be more at ease with the money by my side.”

Xiao Chuan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He was really afraid that Cherry would say that she wanted to send all the silver back home, hence he happily replied, “It’s good that you think that way.

Cherry gave a faint smile and did not refute again. She was the son of the Xu family, her father was a candlelight reader at the gate of the Second Courtyard, and her mother was a coarser in the racetrack room. When her brother was young, he had not been able to pick a male servant, but had only been able to do menial chores. Ever since she was young, she had grown up well. The entire family had hoped that she would be able to climb into any young master’s bed so that they could pull out their family’s power. In the end, not a single young master had joined them. Instead, they were sent to the Fu Family as the concubines of the Xu Family’s seven girls s.

Although he failed, the family was just as happy as before. After being Cherry’s concubine, he could get two taels of silver a month. Every time they reached the middle of the month, it would either be her father or her brother who would come to the back door to ask for money.

Xiao Chuan had long hated this, it was just that he couldn’t speak of it to Cherry Blossom, so he could only hold it in. This time, when they follow their grandma and grandpa out of the capital, let’s see where these blood-sucking worms can go to get more money!
