After Bai Ruyue said this, Wei Wanxue suddenly understood.
Yes, why doesn't she just go along with Yuan Zhao and ask her to help her find a better one?!
But thinking of Jiang Liu, Wei Wanxue still felt a little regretful, "But sister-in-law, what about Young Master Jiang..."
Bai Ruyue patted her lightly, "Xue'er, you're silly! You've already won over Young Master Jiang. If you're willing, are you still afraid that he'll refuse?"
She paused, then added, "Besides, if you can give Young Master Jiang what he wants, then won't he be at your mercy?"
"What does he want?" Wei Wanxue and Bai Ruyue looked at each other, thinking, "You mean..."
…
In the days leading up to New Year's Eve, Wei Shaoqing almost never returned home.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, he sent his servant back to say that he was busy with disaster relief work and would not return home that night.
Yuan Zhao listened without any expression.
Gan Tang was a little worried about her, "Your Highness, don't be sad..."
Yuan Zhao shook his head and said to her, "Gan Tang, I no longer have anything to be disappointed about. Now I only hope to be able to take the children away from the Wei family and leave Yangzhou."
Gan Tang sighed slightly and continued, "Your Highness, I sent the medicine that the palace physician recently prescribed to Imperial Physician Zhang for a look."
"Since the Snow Viewing Banquet, the amount of poison in those medicines has been increased significantly."
It seems that Bai Ruyue became anxious after seeing her.
After Wei Shaoqing finished delivering the message, Fengqiyuan also passed the news to Songyantang.
It was said that Yuan Zhao was sick and weak, and could not attend the family dinner in the evening.
The old lady was naturally happy and went out early to Xingyu Lane to reunite with her grandchildren.
It is now common knowledge among everyone in the Wei Mansion that Fengqiyuan and Songyantang have a bad relationship.
Although the old lady is still in charge of the household, the treasury is empty and now she can't even give out the New Year bonuses.
On the contrary, in Fengqi Courtyard, Yuan Zhao was both strict and lenient with his servants, while Gan Tang was outstanding in his abilities and managed the entire courtyard like an iron barrel.
After the old lady and Wei Wanxue left the Wei Mansion, Yuan Zhao asked Yuan Nan'an to bring Yuan Musheng to Fengqiyuan.
After more than half a month of rehabilitation, Yuan Musheng is now able to walk freely.
But just in case, he came out in a wheelchair.
This was the first time he had left Jingsi Pavilion in five years.
Five years ago, his reputation was ruined, his leg was broken, and he never recovered.
Now it has finally seen the light of day again.
In the evening, Fengqiyuan was full of joy, and Yuan Zhao asked the small kitchen to prepare a table of delicious food.
Yuan Zhizhi was held by Yuan Musheng, drooling as she stared at the food on the table.
【I want to eat! I want to eat meat～】
Over the past half month, Yuan Zhizhi is no longer as thin as she was at the beginning. Her whole body and face are round, and her big eyes are shining like black grapes.
She is so delicate and soft, just like a little fairy, and everyone who sees her loves her very much.
Even Yuan Musheng, who is usually aloof, would hug his younger sister and refuse to let go whenever he saw her.
Yuan Nanan stood aside, holding a bowl of meat and teasing Zhizhi, "Little Zhizhi wants to eat meat, but Zhizhi doesn't have teeth yet, what should we do?"
Yuan Zhizhi kept making “Ah Ba” and “Ah Ba” sounds, wishing he could open his mouth and bite it.
His adorable appearance made everyone laugh.
Looking at the three children sitting together and laughing, Yuan Zhao suddenly realized something.
In the past few years, she has not been able to have a good holiday with her children.
At the same time, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. Now Mu Sheng's leg has healed, Nan'an can speak again, and Zhizhi is growing up slowly.
I just don't know what kind of suffering her Qi Yu is still going through...
Sensing her emotions, Yuan Musheng comforted her, "Mom, we will definitely be able to rescue our third brother."
Yuan Zhao shook her eldest son's hand and said, "Don't worry, Sheng'er. Mother has a solution."
She was planning it, and after she dealt with Wei Wanxue's issue after the New Year, it would be time to execute it.
At the same time, she said to Yuan Musheng, "Sheng'er, what are your plans?"
She paused, thinking of what happened in the past, and hesitated, "Once your third brother is rescued, mother will take you back to the capital..."
Yuan Musheng lowered his eyes and knew what Yuan Zhao was worried about.
Yuan Zhizhi stopped making trouble and stared at her mother and elder brother with Yuan Nanan blinking.
Yuan Nan'an didn't know the ins and outs of this. She only knew that something bad had happened to her elder brother in the capital that year, which led to his sudden return to Yangzhou.
But Yuan Nan'an didn't know what exactly happened.
Yuan Zhizhi sat up straight. When Yuan Zhao and Wei Shaoqing moved to Yangzhou, they kept Yuan Musheng in Beijing considering his future.
At that time, Yuan Musheng was already studying with a master in the palace, and thanks to the personal instruction of His Majesty and the Crown Prince, he had a bright future.
Who in the capital doesn't know the reputation of Princess Showa's eldest son Yuan Musheng?
He became famous at a young age, was talented and had a good character. His Majesty even personally praised Yuan Musheng for having the demeanor of Crown Prince Yuan Cheng, and said he was a role model for the royal family.
But five years ago, one day news came from the capital that Yuan Musheng was frequenting brothels and even forced himself on a girl, forcing her to hang herself.
His Majesty was furious and sent him back to Yangzhou. On the way back to Yangzhou, Yuan Musheng accidentally fell off a cliff and broke his leg.
As soon as he returned to Yangzhou, he was severely reprimanded by Wei Shaoqing and locked up in Jingsi Pavilion to reflect on his mistakes.
Thinking about the past, Yuan Zhao also hated herself for listening to Wei Shaoqing's nonsense. When Mu Sheng got into trouble, she was pregnant with Qi Yu. Wei Shaoqing said that she should concentrate on taking care of the baby and not have too much emotional fluctuation. He promised that he would handle the matter well.
But when Yuan Zhao saw his eldest son again, he was already heartbroken, silent and unwilling to say anything.
The mother and son have barely seen each other in the past five years, let alone talked about what happened back then.
Now seeing Yuan Musheng sitting in a wheelchair with his eyes downcast, and the once bright and handsome boy now reduced to his current state, Yuan Zhao felt a pang of pain in his heart.
When Yuan Musheng returned to Yangzhou, not many people in Yangzhou knew about this matter. In addition, he stayed indoors, so the situation in the capital gradually calmed down.
But if Yuan Zhao were to take him back to the capital, those rumors would surely arise again.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhao held her eldest son's hand and whispered, "Sheng'er, mother has always believed that you didn't do those things. You must have been framed."
Yuan Musheng raised his head slightly and looked at her with some shock in his eyes.
When I returned to Yangzhou at that time, I also hoped that someone would believe in me.
But the words my father said to me were like a knife engraved deeply in my heart.
He still remembers the insults his father hurled at him when he saw him:
"To do something like this is simply shameless! Do you know what my colleagues think of me? How could I have a son like you?!"
"Fortunately, your last name isn't Wei. Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to the Yuan family!"
"Since you've become disabled, you're of no use to me. The Wei family can't count on you. You should reflect on your mistakes in this courtyard and never go out and embarrass yourself again!"
