Chapter 11 Old Lady
Aunt Fu stayed in the room for about half an hour. After the temperature in the room dropped, she turned up the air conditioner, covered Wei Yuxian with a quilt, and walked out.
In the living room, Fu's mother was still chatting with Fu Xuanyi about Wei Yuxian. When she saw Aunt Fu coming out, Fu's mother asked, "What happened?"
Aunt Fu said, "The temperature has dropped, and Madam is sleeping more peacefully."
After the temperature dropped, the room became extremely comfortable, and with the soft big bed beneath her, Wei Yuxian slept more soundly.
She slept until about three o'clock. She felt the environment around her was very comfortable and cool, and the quilt on her body was just right, neither too cold nor too hot.
Hey? Quilt?
She remembered that she didn't cover herself with a quilt when she slept, so why is she covered with a quilt now?
Also, she remembered that the room was very hot, so why was it... so comfortable now?
Wei Yuxian sat up from the bed, looked around, and heard the sound of the air conditioner turning in the room. She looked over and saw that the air conditioner was running diligently and responsibly at 26 degrees!
When did she turn on the air conditioner?! She obviously didn't turn on the air conditioner!
No wonder she found she slept so comfortably when she woke up, it turned out to be because the air conditioner was on!
It was chilly in the room, not even a hint of warmth could be felt.
When Wei Yuxian heard the sound of the air conditioner running, it was like hearing the sound of money flowing!
Without thinking too much, she got up, found the remote control, and turned off the air conditioner to stop the damage in time!
She put down the remote control with a painful look on her face and breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know how long the air conditioner had been running and how much the electricity bill cost.
She remembered clearly that she did not turn on the air conditioner before going to bed, but found it was on when she woke up, which was a bit strange.
So she got up, washed herself in the brand new bathroom using new toiletries, and walked out of the room, thinking of asking Aunt Fu what was going on.
Aunt Fu is the housekeeper of the family and should know what is going on.
Wei Yuxian walked downstairs step by step, looking for Aunt Fu as she walked. Before she found Aunt Fu, Fu Xuanyi and a strange old woman in the living room came into her sight.
This old lady looks quite old, and a bit like Fu Xuanyi. Her temperament is just as good as Fu Xuanyi's!
Wei Yuxian immediately guessed the identity of the old woman—Fu Xuanyi's mother.
She originally wanted to avoid the sight of the two people and go find Aunt Fu. After all, with her current identity, it seemed inappropriate for her to meet Fu Xuanyi's mother.
She is a woman who is pregnant with Fu Xuanyi's child and has no status. The old lady will probably not like her. She'd better not dirty the old lady's eyes.
Thinking of this, Wei Yuxian felt a slight pain in her heart. She lightened her steps and walked somewhere else.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her figure appeared at the staircase, the two people in the living room noticed her.
Mother Fu was still waiting for her to come over and greet her, and she sat comfortably on the sofa, looking at the little person over there expectantly.
As a result, Wei Yuxian turned around and walked towards the place she was going to, with a look of inferiority on her face.
How could Mrs. Fu not know what she was thinking just now? She was afraid that she would feel that she didn't like her and would not dare to come over.
This child is really...
Fu's mother had always felt sorry for her and thought she was a poor child. Now, she felt that Wei Yuxian was an even more poor little girl who lacked love.
"Yuxian." She spoke, stopping the person who was about to walk away.
Wei Yuxian's body stiffened, she stopped and stood still, her whole body tensed up visibly.
At this moment, she had her back to Mother Fu, and no one could see how helpless she looked.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down, turned around slowly, and asked with a forced smile, "Hello... Is there anything I can help you with?"
Fu Xuanyi and the old lady had strong auras, and the two of them sitting together made the pressure even stronger! Wei Yuxian couldn't speak clearly.
At this moment, she felt inferior and afraid. She was afraid that the old lady would look down on her and think that she was a country girl who was not worthy of standing in such a high position as the Fu Mansion.
Growing up in such an environment, with few people around her liking her, even her closest family members mostly disliked her, causing Wei Yuxian to become very insecure.
Mother Fu could no longer suppress the pain in her heart, and her expression was very soft, trying to comfort the little one who was easily frightened.
She tried to keep her tone as gentle as possible and said, "Yuxian, come here."
Wei Yuxian's body became even stiffer, and her usually light steps now seemed as heavy as if they were filled with lead!
She didn't want to move at all, didn't want to walk over. Although the old lady's expression looked very kind, Wei Yuxian still felt in awe of someone as noble as the old lady.
But since the old lady had spoken, she had to do as she was told. If she displeased the old lady, her life would become even more miserable.
In order to live a better life in the Fu Mansion in the future and give birth to a child safely, Wei Yuxian suppressed the fear in her heart and walked forward step by step.
His movements were extremely slow, like an octogenarian entering old age.
Fu Xuanyi watched her walk over with no expression on his face and he didn't say anything. He just watched her quietly. No one could see through his inner thoughts.
Even the longest road has an end. Wei Yuxian was not far from Mrs. Fu, so she quickly walked to her. After hesitating for a while, she bowed her head respectfully and called out, "Old Madam."
She put herself in a very low position, like a servant in the Fu family.
Mother Fu reached out and held her hand that was placed on her belly, saying, "You don't have to do this."
Wei Yuxian raised her head in fear, her eyes a little panicked. She wanted to pull her hand back, but was afraid that she would use too much force and hurt the old lady, so she could only struggle gently.
Mother Fu grabbed her hand tightly to prevent her from struggling, and pulled her forward forcefully, making her sit down on the sofa.
"Yuxian, there's no need to be so polite. I'm not a bad person."
Wei Yuxian couldn't pull her hand back, feeling anxious, she could only let the old lady hold it, saying, "I dare not."
Mother Fu patted her hands and said, "Don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you. I just want to talk to you."
Wei Yuxian swallowed nervously, sweat almost coming out of her forehead, and said, "You go ahead."
Mother Fu: "I think you have guessed it. I am Xuan's mother."
Wei Yuxian still had a forced smile on her face: "Yes, I guessed it, you are Master Xuan's mother."
"I know that you are pregnant with our Ah Xuan's child. Ah Xuan took you in so that you can rest assured and take care of the baby. So you don't have to worry about anything. Just stay here peacefully."
"Also, you may not know that our Fu family has always had difficulty in having offspring since our ancestors. Now that you are pregnant with the blood of the Fu family, we will certainly not let it wander around."
"Thank you for your hard work this year."
