Originally, he should have returned home in three days, but because he had to go to the palace, he did not go that day. Unfortunately, Wei Xuanning had to go to the yamen the next day. Because his wedding had been delayed for several days, a lot of official business had piled up, not to mention that his subordinates had already delivered a message to his house.
Yurong pouted as she helped him put on his court robes: "Do I have to go home alone? I don't care. If someone asks me, I'll just say it's because you didn't accompany me. Without you to accompany me home, I can't even enjoy my meal."
She looks like a coquettish young wife and seems like she can't live without a man, but in fact, what she is thinking is that she must never really leave her man outside, especially when the relationship has not been established, so she should spend as much time with him as possible while she can cultivate it.
People's feelings will fade. There are many people in this world who are mourning their deceased wives and writing countless compliments to them one moment, but the next moment they marry a new partner and are softened by the new one.
She is not that stupid. Life is short, and giving Wei Xuanning to someone else is not something she wants to do.
I originally thought that after entering the Wei family, as a clandestine woman, I would at most take power from Zhou. But now it seems that Zhou is nothing, and Wei Xuanning herself is more important.
Controlling him is enough to control the entire Wei family.
Wei Xuanning chuckled a few times, "I'll pick you up after I get off work. It's a good opportunity for you to spend more time with your mother-in-law and sister-in-law at your parents' home. Isn't that enough? You really need me there."
Obviously he was still very proud that Yurong needed him so much.
After putting on the court robe, Yurong breathed a sigh of relief. It was always difficult for her to help him dress because his clothes were too complicated. If it weren't for the fact that she could express her feelings with her eyes while dressing him every day, she would not have done that.
After seeing him off at Wutong Garden, Yurong hurried to visit Old Madam Wei. Today she went alone to pay her respects. Snow was still falling, and the air was chilly. The large garden of the Wei family was covered with thick snow, and some of the branches were withered, giving off a rusty sound for no reason.
Bi Tao looked at the young lady's tense face and thought, the young lady must be unhappy without her aunt to accompany her.
Fortunately, after arriving at Ruixuan Hall, she regained her sweet self. She walked in with a big smile on her face. A clear female voice could be heard from inside the room, as if someone was reading.
When I walked in, I saw that it was a young lady of good age. She was sitting below Old Madam Wei. She had big, bright eyes and looked very lively. When she read this passage with such emotion, Old Madam Wei couldn't help but squint her eyes to listen.
The little girl wanted to pass the message, but Yurong stopped her, "It's okay."
The girl was sharp-eyed and stopped immediately. Madam Wei opened her eyes and Yurong greeted again, "Greetings to the old lady."
Old Madam Wei was the first to ask Wei Xuanning, "Has he gone to the government office?"
"Yes, the granddaughter-in-law came here after serving the eldest master his meal. The meal he had today was excellent, and he even gave him half a bowl of shredded chicken porridge." Yurong looked as if she was very honored to be able to serve Wei Xuanning.
Bi Tao was no longer surprised. As far as she knew, this was probably just a little hobby of the couple. They had clearly sent all the servants away this morning and she had gone in to serve tea. The young lady had clearly been sitting on the aunt's lap and had been fed porridge by her aunt. Why was she lying with her eyes open now?
Mrs. Wei was very satisfied and asked her to sit down and talk.
Soon Zhou Ziying and Chen came in one after the other. Chen was an honest person who rarely concealed her feelings. When she saw the young lady, she quickly called out, "Miss Gao, why are you here so early?"
Yurong immediately understood that this was Gao Shanru, the wife Wei Xuanning originally planned to marry.
No wonder Chen felt uncomfortable.
Zhou Ziying seemed to be unaware of what was happening and asked Gao Shanru, "How is the medicine prescribed by the doctor I hired yesterday? If it doesn't work, I'll hire another one. I heard that Doctor Chen from Tianshui Hutong is very good at treating this disease."
Gao Shanru stood up and bowed, "Thank you Madam for your concern. Everything is fine."
After she finished speaking, she just sat quietly aside. Yurong glanced at her and felt that this girl was really pretty. Her eyes and eyebrows seemed to indicate that she followed the rules, but in fact, the occasional hint of willfulness was enough to show that she was suppressing her nature.
This is also normal. As the eldest daughter of Huayang Gao family, her status is indeed proud.
Although her father Gao Xiang had made contributions by being the first to depose the crown prince, it might not be a bad thing for her to find an opportunity to hide far away at this time.
It’s just that their situation is a little sad now, after all, Princess Xin’an is still favored.
"Sister Gao, you can actually come and play with me more often. It's getting cold these days, and I'm preparing some roasted venison in my yard. You used to love the liveliness, so it would be nice for us to eat and play together." Yanjun suddenly said.
From the tone, she knew that she and Gao Shanru were very familiar with each other in the past. However, Yurong didn't care much. Sometimes, if you care too much about the past, it will be difficult for you to walk in the future. Besides, she is the one who is married to Wei Xuanning now. With Gao Shanru's status, she will definitely not be a concubine. So why should she worry about it?
She is confident enough and won't let anyone snatch her away.
Gao Shanru hurriedly said to Yanjun: "Thank you for always thinking about me, but my mother is bedridden and I have to go back to take care of her."
Old Madam Wei couldn't help but nodded secretly. Fortunately, Gao Shanru really knew the rules. Although she liked her very much, Xuan Ning was married now, and Yang was also a very virtuous woman. It was impossible for Gao's daughter to do anything again. In this case, everyone could rest assured.
"Your father is Xuan Ning's mentor, and he has been a classmate of the Prime Minister for many years. They are almost close friends. You don't have to feel restrained. Just treat it as your own home. Your mother's place has people to take care of her. It's better for you to live with Yanjun. You two sisters can talk to each other and have each other to keep each other company." After she finished speaking, she said to Zhou Ziying, "I will leave Shanru to you. You will be treated the same as Yanjun in all expenses."
Zhou Ziying smiled and said, "You don't need the old lady to tell me, my daughter-in-law knows."
She finally let out a breath of anger. Gao Shanru and Yang Yurong were just like the saying that there can't be two tigers in one mountain. They didn't know how to fight each other. She felt sorry for Gao Shanru, so naturally she wanted to be more on her side.
Yurong, however, treated Gao Shanru as a stranger. She felt that being strangers made them both feel comfortable. She was clearly awkward with her, but she was still being so intimate. Wasn't that fake? Or was it that she was showing such nervousness, which clearly showed that she cared about Gao Shanru.
Gao Shanru was also a victim in this matter. She was snatched away by Princess Xin'an, and such a good marriage was broken up. There was hope ahead, but it was interrupted again...
But it's pitiful. She just hopes she doesn't have any other thoughts about Wei Xuan Ning. If she is restless and wants to compete with her for Wei Xuan Ning, then don't blame her.
Now she is not tired of Wei Xuanning yet.
