Wen Zhu is the unloved illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites. From a young age, she was sent to a manor, and her birth mother was also out of favor.
In her previous life, she was sen...
Wen Chan enthusiastically took Wen Zhu's hand and said, "Mother was just talking about how you are doing in the Marquis' Mansion."
Wen Zhu smiled and said, "Young Madam is very nice to me."
"We are sisters, how could I not be good to you!"
While speaking, Wen Chan quietly pinched Wen Zhu's arm, as if to remind her not to talk nonsense.
After feeling the pain, Wen Zhu forced a smile.
The mother who noticed this felt something was wrong.
"Okay," she said calmly, "I actually came here to discuss something."
After the three of them sat down, Mrs. Yun's gaze remained on Wen Zhu's abdomen.
Wen Chan quickly said, "Don't worry, mother. I've asked someone to go to Yiyuantang to ask for a prescription. We'll have good news soon."
Hearing her daughter mention the name of Yiyuantang, Madam Yun glanced at her and said, "It seems like you really put your heart into it."
On the way here, I was worried about whether it would be bad for Wen Zhu, but now it seems that my worry was unnecessary.
"Mom, it's really embarrassing for you to say that."
Wen Chan chuckled and said, "She is my biological sister. As an elder sister, I will naturally love her!"
As she spoke, she glanced at her sister next to her, her eyes flashing with complex emotions.
It’s not too late to do it after the baby is born!
By then, we can just find an excuse for a difficult birth to cover up everything.
"Seeing that you look well, I feel relieved. You can have a good chat with your sister and go back to rest first."
Mrs. Yun nodded.
Wen Zhu was thinking about leaving here as soon as possible, but when he heard this, he turned around and left the room.
Seeing her leave in a hurry without saying anything, Madam Yun sighed.
How could this daughter be so cruel? She left without any reluctance and even left without saying goodbye.
After all, she is her biological mother, how can she treat her like this?
"My sister has lived outside for many years, so it's normal that she's not close to us," Wen Chan said with a smile, "As the saying goes, the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth. Maybe she still cares about her family in her heart."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yun looked a little disappointed.
Wen Chan smiled secretly and poured a cup of tea for her mother herself: "Don't take it to heart, mother. What's the matter with you coming here today?"
This reminded Madam Yun of the reason she had come. "Oh, right, the Enke exam is about to begin this year. I want to go to the Taoist temple outside the city to pray for Hai'er's blessing. It's a great place to escape the summer heat. Do you want to come with me?"
In fact, she originally planned to go out with her two daughters.
But Wen Zhu's attitude just now made her very disappointed.
After hearing these words, Wen Chan's eyes flashed with a complicated look: "Mom cares about my brother very much."
The child named Yunhai was not born to Mrs. Yun, but was born to a concubine.
"What can I do? I'm old. Luckily, he grew up with me and doesn't have much of a relationship with his biological mother. As you said, parenting is more important than blood ties. Hai'er knows this very well."
"What mother said does make sense." Wen Chan nodded in agreement.
"Shall we have lunch first?"
Although it is in the suburbs, it only takes about two hours to get there, just in time for dinner.
Wen Chan agreed: "Okay, I'll pack my things now."
"Yeah." Mrs. Yun was packing her luggage, and she would watch along.
After seeing off Madam Yun, Wen Chan went to Rong Xi Tang.
Zheng had just finished reciting Buddhist scriptures and came out. When she learned that Wen Chan was going out, she nodded and said, "Since you have all agreed, then go."
"I understand." Wen Chan prepared to leave.
Mother Zhou looked at her from behind and smiled, "Look how polite the young mistress is, even notifying me in advance."
There was a hint of coldness in Zheng's eyes: "This is just superficial work, it was arranged long ago."
Mother Zhou was immediately stunned and quickly put away her smile.
Wen Chan and Zhenzhu had already started packing their luggage after returning to Liuyun Garden.
Even though it was just a two-day trip, she had to pack a lot of things.
"You stay here and go tell Jixiang," Wen Chan said, "We'll be away from home for the next two days. You have to ensure Wen Zhu's safety!"
Zhenzhu immediately went to the backyard and found Jixiang.
"Where is the young lady going?" asked Jixiang.
Zhenzhu nodded: "When the young lady is out, you must protect the second young lady. If anything goes wrong, you will figure out how to explain it yourself!"
Jixiang's body trembled slightly, and he answered cautiously, "I understand. I will keep a close eye on the Second Young Lady."
Seeing Jixiang's attitude, Zhenzhu smiled smugly.
Her voice softened considerably as she handed Jixiang a piece of silver and said, "Young Madam believes in your ability. If you use this money diligently, you will gain more benefits in the future."
This piece of silver is very small, about the size of a thumb.
If it were in the past, Jixiang would be happy to accept it, but now because she has become more knowledgeable, she actually feels a little stingy when seeing such a small amount of money.
Although he felt a little unhappy, Jixiang still took it politely and said, "I understand."
"Yeah." After saying this, Pearl gave some benefits and a few tips, and then left.
After returning to the room, Jixiang took out the silver and said, "Second Miss, this was given to you by Zhenzhu."
Wen Zhu looked at the silver in his hand and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhenzhu is quite good at living."
After hearing this, Jixiang also laughed. It really does save money.
"Second Miss, Madam is planning to stay at a temple in the suburbs for two days," Jixiang said excitedly, "It's a good opportunity for us to go out and relax!"
Wen Zhu shook his head and smiled and replied: "You go alone, I want to rest at home."
She pulled out a banknote from the box and said, "Don't worry about the medical expenses, but you may need to buy some daily necessities. You can go and take care of these things and visit your hometown while you're there. There's no need to rush back."
It would be appropriate to take advantage of Wen Chan's absence to show off in front of Shen Rang.
If Jixiang is around, there might be trouble.
The moment he saw the banknote, Jixiang was moved.
Over the years, no one has cared about her and her mother like this.
The money in your hands now is not only financial help, but also full of goodwill.
Seeing Jixiang standing there in a daze, Wen Zhu shook the banknote in his hand: "Why are you in a daze? Take it."
Jixiang stepped forward to take the banknote, and when he looked up again, his eyes were already filled with tears: "Second Miss, this is so thoughtful."
Wen Zhu was slightly stunned when he saw the sincerity flashing in Jixiang's eyes.
Is this girl really touched?
The two glanced at each other, and Wen Zhu raised a smile, with a hint of mischief in his words: "We are about the same age, both far away from home, and we are essentially the same. Don't be so polite."
Her smile was cool.
Jixiang was deeply touched and secretly decided in his heart that even if he could not get his indenture contract back, he would serve Wen Zhu wholeheartedly!
"Don't get too excited. The young lady has only just walked a short distance. Be careful not to reveal any flaws."
Wen Zhu reminded in a low voice, "After she really leaves, you should go home quickly. Aunt Liu is taking care of us here, so there will be no problem."
