Madam Wei frowned, looking at Wei, whose eyes and eyebrows were curved with laughter, and asked seriously, "Lian'er, did Jin'er tell you something? Or did you tell him something?"
Could she have revealed something?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wei's face couldn't help but look a little ugly.
Nanny Liu also stood quietly at the door of the inner room, listening to the conversation inside with her ears pricked up.
Wei was slightly stunned.
Seeing Madam Wei's expression, her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but smile less and said, "Mom, I'm not a fool. Don't worry. I didn't tell Jin'er anything, and Jin'er didn't say anything. I just..."
Hesitated for a moment.
Wei then repeated what Madam Liu had said to her that day.
Outside the door, Aunt Liu's expression changed slightly.
Wei continued, "Mother, I think what Aunt Liu said makes a lot of sense. I've tried so hard for so many years, but I can't capture the Marquis' heart. Instead of relying on him, I might as well rely on Jin'er. After all, Jin'er is my son."
"Although he said he wanted to take the imperial examination to provide support for his sister, I know he's actually a good boy who knows how to be filial. Back then, that woman was just a little nicer to him, and he opened his heart to his sister. If I could treat him better, he would definitely listen to me in the future..."
Wei's eyes softened. "Mom, you know, Jin'er is actually an ambitious child. When he heard me say I could help him, he immediately refused. He said that the consequences of cheating in the imperial examinations would be very serious, and he didn't want me to take the risk."
Thinking of Yang Huaijin's concern that day, Wei couldn't help but feel good.
As a result, the pain in my body also disappeared a lot.
However, Mrs. Wei frowned.
She had seen what kind of person Yang Huaijin was like. That kid... was born to be rebellious.
Will he care about Lian'er?
"Lian'er, repeat to me what you said to Jin'er that day. Don't miss a single word." Madam Wei said seriously.
Wei was stunned.
"Mom, do you doubt Jin'er?"
"Repeat it for me."
Wei felt a little uncomfortable, but facing the firmness of Mrs. Wei, Wei could only tell the conversation that day.
After listening to this, Mrs. Wei frowned and fell silent.
"Mom, I have never told Jin'er anything else. He knows nothing about it. It was only after I asked him to come to my yard that day that I told him..."
"Since you said those words to him, has there been any special change in his attitude towards you? For example, has he come to your yard more often? Or asked you something else? Or showed his concern for you overtly or covertly?" asked Mrs. Wei.
Wei thought of Yang Huaijin, who had not shown up since that day.
His face was a little stiff as he shook his head: "No, he never came again after that day."
Thinking of this, Wei suddenly felt depressed.
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei relaxed her brows a little and looked at Wei, saying, "Lian'er, Jin'er is different from other children. He didn't grow up by your side. If you want to treat him well, there are many other ways..."
What it means is that taking the imperial examination is not an option.
Upon hearing this, Wei's expression changed slightly.
She knew what her mother was worried about, she had always known it, but...
"Mom, Jin'er is already grown up. He doesn't need my help with many things. Only this imperial examination can make him remember my kindness. If you don't help me, there will really be no chance in the future."
Wei bit her lip and grabbed Madam Wei's hand. She applied a little more force and looked into Madam Wei's eyes. "Mother, he is my son. He came out of my belly. My blood flows in his body. He is the true orthodox one... You must help him."
Mrs. Wei was stunned.
…
"Mother!"
In the carriage.
The disheveled little figure who was taken into the carriage cried miserably and wanted to throw himself into Yang Zhao's arms.
'Woof'
Xiao Hei just bared his teeth.
Xuan Ge'er froze as he was about to pounce, and shuddered with fear.
"Mother."
Xuan Ge'er's voice was trembling with tears, but he dared not move because of Xiao Hei. He could only look at Yang Zhao with his tearful eyes: "I, I was wrong. Please don't leave Xuan Ge'er, okay?"
Brother Xuan is very dirty.
Even his clothes were tattered, and scars from beatings were clearly visible on his exposed burned skin. The corners of his mouth were broken, and the only intact half of his face was still bruised.
It was obvious that he had been having a miserable time these past few days.
His body, already emaciated by the longevity cream, was now even thinner, like skin and bones...
He looks scary like this.
Xier snuggled into Yang Zhao's arms.
"Don't be afraid!" Yang Zhao gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
That gesture and gentle words made Xuan Ge'er's eyes red. Obviously, he thought of the love and tenderness that Yang Zhao had shown him in the past.
That all belongs to him.
But now...
Xuan Ge'er lowered his head and concealed the emotions in his eyes.
Yang Zhao had been keeping an eye on him, so he did not miss the jealous and hateful look in his eyes when he lowered his head and looked at Xier.
There was a cold flash in her eyes.
But she regained her composure in an instant, and asked him calmly, "Did you sneak out on your own?"
When Xuan Ge'er heard Yang Zhao finally speak, he quickly raised his head: "Mother..." But when he saw that there was only indifference instead of the previous doting and tenderness in her eyes, Xuan Ge'er paused to say the rest of his words.
His mother obviously loved him so much.
My heart is all with him.
But now it’s gone...
She doesn't love him anymore!!
Xuan Ge'er's eyes were really red.
But he still answered: "Yes, it was Ali who brought me out through the dog hole, saying that we were looking for mother. But as soon as we walked out of the street, Ali was separated from us. I couldn't find her, and I didn't know the way to find mother..."
In fact, after coming out of the dog hole, I was going to find Wei Yaer.
But I didn’t find it!
Ali was indeed dispersed and disappeared.
After being left alone, Xuan Ge'er suffered a series of malicious attacks he had never experienced before.
Being hated, despised, and excluded...
Only then did he clearly realize how disgusting his burned body and half of his face were to others. There was even one time when he was simply walking past a passerby and was called disgusting and beaten and kicked on the spot...
He doesn't remember how he survived.
It's so painful.
Only then did he remember.
The 'mother' who never despised him and treated him with all her heart came back.
He asked many people.
I was given countless cold stares.
Only with the help of a bald-headed boy did they find the carriage.
He finally found his 'mother'.
But she seemed to not want him anymore...
Xuan Ge'er's tears fell, and he looked at Yang Zhao pitifully and helplessly: "Mother, I didn't mean it. It was Father who said that if I didn't do as he said, he wouldn't let me call you mother, and asked you to leave me. I was scared. I really didn't mean it. Mother, please don't leave Xuan Ge'er, okay, wuwu..."
