In her previous life, Wen Xingluo poured her heart and soul into planning a future for her father and brothers, finally ushering in the day of her family's prominence.
However, her older ...
Chapter 185 Will Ningning think I'm dirty?
Wen Xingluo was just about to think of a way to drive Wen Yueyin away from her mother, but her mother had already pulled her arm away in a distant and indifferent manner.
Wen Yueyin's hands hung awkwardly in the air, and she stomped her embroidered shoes in grievance, "Mom?!"
Wei Si frowned, obviously not used to dealing with this kind of situation.
Thinking of how the ladies of the capital treated the concubines' daughters they disliked in their families, she suddenly had an idea.
She waved towards Wen Xingluo, "Ningning, come here."
The coldness in Wen Xingluo's eyes suddenly faded away.
She smiled sweetly and walked forward obediently to hold Wei Si's hand tightly.
Wei Si said softly to the women, "This is my daughter, Ningning. I have been ill in bed for the past two years. Thank you for taking care of her."
The guests looked at each other and immediately understood what was going on.
It seems that Princess Zhenbei and the Queen Dowager both dislike the eldest daughter of the Wen family and only like the youngest daughter, Wen Xingluo.
Then their daughters won’t have to spend extra time dealing with Wen Yueyin in the future. They just need to continue to maintain a good relationship with Wen Xingluo as before.
As a result, the atmosphere in the flower hall was harmonious, except that Wen Yueyin was intentionally or unintentionally excluded.
Wen Yueyin's eyes turned red, and she covered her heart and coughed a few times. Just as she was about to squeeze forward to cry out her grievances, a force suddenly covered her mouth from behind and dragged her out of the hall.
Wei Ying dragged Wen Yueyin to the corridor and drew her sword threateningly, "If you dare to disrupt the birthday party, I will chop you into pieces."
She learned from Wen Xingluo what her aunt had experienced over the years.
Poor aunt.
If my parents were still alive, they would be heartbroken to know that their only little sister had fallen into such a state.
Since her parents can no longer protect her aunt, she has to protect her on their behalf.
It was a rare birthday for my aunt, so she wanted to make sure everything went smoothly and no one ruined it.
Wen Yueyin's face turned pale, and she struggled and screamed, "Who are you?!"
Wen Rufeng and his two brothers just came out of the corridor, also to attend Wei Si's birthday party.
Seeing this scene, Wen Rufeng quickly stepped forward to protect Wen Yueyin, "Are you a servant of the Zhenbei Palace? My brother and I are the young masters and young ladies of the palace. How dare you be so violent towards my sister?!"
Wei Ying was indifferent.
She had inquired around and knew that these ungrateful people were very mean to her aunt, always saying that she was of humble origin, which showed that they didn't take her aunt seriously at all.
She doesn't like these cousins.
She twirled the sword in her hand and said coldly, "If you want to go to the birthday party, ask my sword first."
Wen Ruyun was displeased.
They specially picked a few peonies for Wei Si on the way here, which was considered as a carefully prepared birthday gift, but this woman in black actually refused to let them go to celebrate her birthday!
He cursed, "You slut, can't you see we're here to deliver a birthday gift? Get out of the way!"
Wei Ying's eyes flashed, and she neatly cut off the peony in his hand.
She lifted her boots and twirled the peony that had fallen on the floor tiles. "Now you have no birthday gifts."
Wen Ruyun looked at the bare flower stem in her arms and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Wen Rufeng scolded, "You are so unreasonable, girl! We are going to celebrate our mother's birthday. It's our filial duty. How dare you stop us?!"
Wei Ying glanced at the tablet he was holding in his arms, "Bringing the tablet to celebrate your birthday?"
"You have long hair but little knowledge, you don't understand." Wen Rufeng solemnly held up Wen Qingsong's tablet, "My father didn't take good care of my mother when he was alive, so we have to take his tablet to say sorry to my mother and wish her a happy birthday. This is our Wen family's family affair, please get out of the way!"
Wei Ying had no expression on her face, just staring at the tablet.
It turned out that this was the tablet of the beast who bullied my aunt.
The girl's wrist flew, the sword wrapped around the flowers, and a cold light suddenly appeared.
Wen Qingsong's tablet was immediately split into two pieces and fell to the ground with a "thump".
Wei Ying sheathed the sword with satisfaction.
The four siblings of the Wen family: "..."
…
At this time, the banquet in the main courtyard had already begun, and both the hosts and guests were toasting each other and having a great time.
Wei Si hadn't attended such a banquet for many years and was a little unfamiliar at first. Wen Xingluo saw her helplessness, so she stayed by her side all the time and helped her be careful. Wei Si felt the warmth of the girl's palm and gradually got used to it.
After three rounds of drinking, Wei Si got up and changed her clothes.
After re-dressing, she was about to turn around the corridor when she heard laughter coming from the corner:
"As expected of the Zhenbei King's woman, she is truly stunningly beautiful!"
"This woman only looks glamorous on the surface, but privately,...tsk tsk."
"How is it going in private? Brother Sun, tell me!"
"Back when Wei Si was still a wife of the Wen family, Wen Qingsong once misjudged a case and beheaded an innocent person as the murderer. Later, the family members made a fuss, and Wen Qingsong, fearing that it would affect his career, sent Wei Si to the residence of his immediate superior, my cousin, to curry his favor... That night, I unexpectedly went to visit my cousin's house, and he invited me to share her. Thinking about that feeling even now, it still brings me to my soul!"
"Brother Sun, you're so lucky! Wei Si looks so dignified, but I'm sure she's a whole other level of charm in bed, right?"
“…”
Just as the two were about to say something more outrageous, a slender and graceful figure appeared behind them.
Wen Xingluo's expression was gentle. "What are you two discussing here?"
She followed Wei Si here and unexpectedly witnessed this scene.
It was also the luck of this Mr. Sun that he was not on the list, so when she killed those who hurt her mother, she happened to miss him.
The two men were startled. When they turned around, they found that the person who was talking was a little girl like Wen Xingluo. So instead of taking her seriously, they looked her up and down meaningfully before leaving with a smile.
Wen Xingluo stared at their backs, a sneer appearing on her cherry lips.
She withdrew her gaze and turned the corner to look for Wei Si, but saw Wei Si sitting on the beautiful woman's side of the corridor, quietly gazing at the peonies outside the corridor.
Mother heard the conversation between the two beasts.
The girl slowly squatted on the ground and put her little face on Wei Si's knees.
Wei Si lowered her eyes and gently stroked her cheek, "Will Ningning think I'm dirty?"
Wen Xingluo gazed at the cluster of gorgeous and bright peonies.
After a while, she raised her head and reached out to touch the moisture at the corners of Wei Si's eyes.
She whispered, "Dirty or clean are words used to describe objects, but mother is not an object. She is a living person with a soul. Those pleasant or bad experiences are just ripples in the long river of life. If they are ripples, how can they be described as clean or dirty? I have never thought about things like dirtiness. I only feel sorry for the ripples that mother has experienced. To me, mother is mother. She is the path I came from and the closest relative to me through blood."
Wei Si's eyes became even redder.
Pearly tears rolled down and hit Wen Xingluo's cheeks.
Through the mist of tears, she smiled brightly at Wen Xingluo, "Just now I was wondering if my own mother was the only one in the world who wouldn't despise me for having fallen into that filthy situation. But I didn't expect that my daughter wouldn't despise me either. Ningning, thank you."
Wen Xingluo shook his head vigorously and hugged Wei Si tightly.
In the corridor opposite, Xie Jing looked at the mother and daughter.
He clenched his fists.
