Chapter 753: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law First Meeting
In the evening, the sudden rain stopped.
Under the eaves stood a slender figure in white clothes and a cloak, only the white and delicate chin was visible.
The girl took out an invitation from her bosom and read it over and over again.
'On October 13th, my birthday, I'm hosting a banquet at Wu Mansion. I hope you'll come.'
The signature is Wei Ziyi.
In the past, they had always communicated under pen names. Her real name was not Wei Yu, but Du Wei.
Before, Du Wei only knew his pen name - Feizhu.
The two of them communicated through letters pressed on the windowsill, and knew very little about each other's true feelings.
This is the first time Fei Zhu reveals his real name.
Fireflies illuminate the painted buildings, chasing each other in the sparkling light.
It turns out that his name is Ziyi, which means a gentleman who shines brightly.
What a nice name.
Since he revealed his identity, it meant he wanted to meet me.
Du Wei actually wanted to see him, but...
Du Wei naturally knew what this invitation letter represented. Her heart was beating fast, and an inexplicable joy swept through her body.
Du Wei carefully put the invitation letter away and placed it close to his body, then walked out of the eaves and walked in one direction along the wet path.
Du Wei entered an ancient and low-key mansion, walked towards the backyard, and returned to his residence.
As soon as she entered the yard, she couldn't help but take out the invitation and look at it, stroking the familiar handwriting on it.
She couldn't help but imagine Fei Zhu's appearance, and couldn't help but think of the scene when they met, but when she thought of something, her face suddenly turned pale, and the joy in her heart was wiped out.
"Miss, you're back." A woman said, looking at the thing in her hand, she couldn't help but feel curious, "Miss, what are you looking at?"
The girl quickly hid the invitation, looked at the woman, smiled and shook her head.
"Miss, you have a secret. Could it be a gift from some young man?" the woman asked teasingly.
Du Wei continued to shake his head, his expression not looking good.
"The lady sent a few portraits, saying that she wanted to choose a husband for the young lady..." the woman continued.
Du Wei's face turned slightly pale.
"But I refused them all," the woman said. "It's not that the mother doesn't care. The ones she chose for the young lady are all ones her own daughter wouldn't like. Our young lady doesn't want to pick up other people's discarded garbage. It's unlucky!"
Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the woman with gratitude.
Her mother died early, and she was raised by Zhao. Zhao's personality was a bit mean and she was always complaining about everything, but she was really good to Du Wei.
Du Wei patted Zhao's hand and comforted her.
"I know the master is a sickly person, useless. The Du family is supported by Madam, and we have no choice but to bow our heads under her roof. But I just can't help but feel angry!" Zhao muttered, and suddenly thought of something, "Miss, do you still remember that Mr. Fang?"
She is a gossipy person, but no one else in the Du family likes her, so she can only tell the young lady.
Although the young lady couldn't respond to her, she understood what she meant with just one look.
Speaking of this Mr. Fang, Du Wei had an impression of him and nodded.
She seldom went out. Once when she went out, she forgot to wear a cloak and was seen by Mr. Fang.
When Mr. Fang saw this, he pestered her and insisted on marrying her.
Unexpectedly, her sister Du Yan also fell in love with this Mr. Fang. She didn't know the twists and turns, she only knew that this Mr. Fang turned to propose to Du Yan.
Du Wei didn't like Mr. Fang in the first place, so she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was no longer chasing her.
From then on, she had to wear a cloak whenever she went out and never let her guard down.
Du Wei originally had no opinion on this matter, but Zhao felt that Du Yan had snatched away her ideal match, and she was very dissatisfied with both Du Yan and his wife.
"Didn't Mr. Fang originally want to marry Du Yan? But he never came to propose. It turns out that Mr. Fang's mother doesn't like Du Yan and threatened to commit suicide. But, to be honest, Mr. Fang is really not a good match. I asked around and found out that he's a drunkard, a whoremonger, and does everything. He looks like a decent person, but I never thought he was really bad at heart."
"Du Yan is just like her mother. She can't stand the young lady doing well. She will grab whatever the young lady wants. Now she has really fallen into the toilet." Zhao said gloatingly.
Du Wei didn't have any feelings for Du Yan. Whether she was good or bad, it had nothing to do with her.
However, she cared about Zhao's feelings, and she just listened when Zhao gloated over her misfortune.
Zhao thought of something and hesitated for a moment before she finally spoke: "Miss, there's a traveling doctor in the capital who's said to be able to cure blind people. Would you like to go see him?"
The lady cannot speak. This is her taboo. Every time this matter is mentioned, the lady is unhappy.
Zhao felt that the young lady was a little reluctant to see a doctor.
The young lady was such an ethereal person, but because she couldn't speak, she couldn't communicate with the girls in the capital, nor could she please those women. Otherwise, she would definitely marry a noble man.
Even though the young lady was unhappy, Zhao still wanted to bring up the matter.
Du Wei didn't want to see one at first. She remembered that when she was very young, Zhao took her to see many doctors. They went there with high expectations, but ultimately returned disappointed.
She felt that this was a disease she had been carrying from the womb and it could not be cured.
Du Wei didn't want to go through all the trouble or be looked at strangely. Later, Zhao found her many doctors, but she didn't want to see any of them anymore.
But now…
Fei Zhu asked her to meet him, and she wanted to appear in front of him in the best possible manner.
Du Wei nodded.
Zhao was immediately delighted. The young lady had always refused in the past, but this time she finally agreed!
"Okay, it's getting late today, so let's go early tomorrow morning."
Du Wei walked towards the study, sat down behind the desk, took out paper and pen, pondered for a moment, and then began to write.
Zhao watched from the window for a while. She usually thought the young lady was reserved, ethereal, and otherworldly. But when she picked up the pen and paper, she seemed like a different person. She had a sense of confidence, and her brows suddenly became lively.
It would be better if the lady could speak.
I hope God blesses me and that the traveling doctor is really capable and can cure the young lady’s muteness.
The next day.
On the way to Ningfeng Restaurant, Tangli happened to meet Xiao Sanlang and Pei Yin.
Pei Yin accompanied Xiao Sanlang fishing for a while, but gradually found it boring.
Xiao Sanlang still took good care of his friends, so the two soon found a common interest - punishing evil and promoting good.
The two of them usually hang around the capital, catching bad guys and speaking up for the weak.
When Tang Li saw them, he walked over and saw two tall middle-aged men staring in one direction.
"Third uncle, what are you looking at?" Tang Li asked.
"Xiaotang, look there." Xiao Sanlang pointed in a direction.
Tang Li looked in the direction of his finger and saw a group of people crowded there.
"He's a traveling doctor who claims to be able to cure all diseases," said Xiao Sanlang.
"Yes, a few days ago, there was a blind man who was cured by this traveling doctor." Pei Yin added.
Tangli quickly realized the problem: "It can be cured with just one treatment?"
"Yes, no matter how powerful he is, he can't cure blindness all at once. Blindness is not an ordinary disease." Pei Yin said, "So let's see what's going on with this guy. If he's a liar, we can't let him continue to cheat."
"All those who come to see the doctor are poor people, and they are still deceived. The conscience of those who deceive people must be eaten by dogs!" said Xiao Sanlang.
Tangli deeply agreed with this.
Tang Li decided to go with them to see what was going on and then go to Ningfeng Restaurant later.
The three of them found a place with a good view and saw a man sitting there. In front of him, there were two women standing. One of the women was wearing a cloak, and her graceful figure was vaguely visible.
