Xiao Yue'er went out to look, and her voice rang out from outside the courtyard.
"Little one, where did you come from? How did you end up in the Meng residence?"
Wei Wei heard a gentle knock on the window next to the wall, and her brows furrowed into a bitter expression.
Xiaoyue wasn't inside, so she had to get up and open it herself.
Sure enough, Jiang Yu stood outside looking at her with a smile on his handsome face and eyes that seemed to hold two pools of water. His voice swept over her heart like a spring breeze.
"Xiaoyu and I haven't eaten yet. Miss Wei, would you please take us in?"
He stood there motionless, as if he could stir up a storm in Wei Wei's heart.
She gave a bitter smile and silently cursed herself.
She didn't dare look at him anymore, but turned around and called Xiaoyue'er to bring the child in, and asked her to prepare two more sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Xiao Yue'er glanced at Jiang Yu, who was still standing outside the window, her face showing some hesitation, but she had no choice but to comply.
To avoid arousing suspicion, everyone was dismissed.
The little fish stood at the doorway, her tiny body trembling slightly as she called out, "Auntie."
He raised his head, his eyes sparkling like stars.
My uncle said my aunt is very beautiful, and she really is! She's as beautiful as his mother.
Wei Wei's gaze also fell on the little guy.
He was only wearing a light-colored cloth robe, but it couldn't hide his very cute face and his watery eyes when he looked at people.
Originally, Wei Wei shouldn't have liked him; his personality always reminded her of that scumbag Meng Zhixuan.
But she couldn't resist the innocent and pure feelings in his soft, sweet voice when he called her "Auntie".
The wrinkles on her brows gradually relaxed, and her voice softened considerably.
"Didn't Young Master Wang say he hadn't eaten yet? Why isn't he coming in?"
Hearing her speak, the smile in Jiang Yu's eyes deepened.
Without saying a word, he jumped in through the window.
Little Fish immediately ran to his side and happily told him, "Uncle, Auntie likes me very much."
A smile flashed in Jiang Yu's eyes, and she patted his head again: "Little Yu is so obedient, Auntie will definitely like him."
After saying that, she pulled him to the front of Wei Wei and explained softly, "We just came from the yamen. We were thinking of meeting you, but something came up and we were delayed."
Wei Wei knew that she couldn't hide what had happened at the yamen today from him, so she just hummed in agreement: "It's best if we don't know each other well in front of Lord Yao and the others, so that we can get along peacefully."
"The food is getting cold, sit down and eat."
As she finished speaking, she glanced at Xiaoyue, who had been sitting in the corner, and softened her tone: "You should go eat first too."
"You don't need to watch over this place for now."
Xiao Yue'er opened her mouth, but seeing that her young mistress had already turned her head away, she still went out the door.
Once they were out of sight, Wei Wei looked at Jiang Yu with a half-smile and asked, "When did Young Master Wang offend my maid?"
Looking at his aura just now, anyone could sense that something was very wrong.
Jiang Yu gave a wry smile: "It was probably that night."
? ?
Wei Wei frowned as she looked at him, completely puzzled.
"The night I was injured, Xiaoyue specifically came to me and asked me a few questions."
He looked somewhat guilty and sighed, "Xiao Yue'er is an excellent maid, but my answer did not completely satisfy her."
He didn't continue speaking, a fleeting look of sadness crossing his face.
Then he pulled Xiaoyu down to sit.
He was unwilling to talk about it anymore, and Wei Wei couldn't ask any further.
And she also understood that what Xiaoyue was asking was the outcome between them.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yu again.
His face no longer showed any other emotions.
Seeing Wei Wei looking over, he smiled slightly and started talking about other things: "Today I took Xiaoyu to meet her mother."
Wei Wei couldn't help but ask, "How is his mother now?"
Jiang Yu looked at Xiaoyu and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu, would you like to tell your auntie yourself?"
Little Fish immediately raised her head: "My mother was very happy to see me and talked to me a lot."
"I think I've even gained weight!"
After he finished speaking, Jiang Yu looked at the dishes on the table again and asked in a gentle voice, "Anything else? Do you remember what else you wanted to say?"
Xiaoyu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then became serious like a little adult: "Auntie, I really like my mother."
His big eyes looked at Wei Wei, filled with a childlike innocence: "But my father said that I must protect my mother and not let others know how much I love her."
Wei Wei looked at Jiang Yu with great surprise: "Did you teach him to say that?"
Jiang Yu couldn't help but chuckle: "Why did I teach him to say these things? These are all his true feelings."
Wei Wei's heart stirred, and she asked Xiao Yu, "Didn't your father tell you not to tell us? Why are you telling us now?"
Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Yu, her eyes full of emotion: "Uncle said that Auntie is not an outsider."
That sounds nice.
Wei Wei's eyes involuntarily curved downwards, and some rouge appeared on her cheeks.
She glanced at Jiang Yu out of the corner of her eye and said with a hint of shyness, "Since I can't say it, I can't tell anyone else in the future."
After saying that, she used her chopsticks to put some food in his bowl: "Are you hungry? Hurry up and eat."
With Wei Wei's misunderstanding about Xiao Yu cleared up, Jiang Yu was relieved.
He then stopped talking and quietly began to eat.
After everyone had put down their bowls and chopsticks, Wei Wei spoke again: "Xiao Yu and his mother, what are you planning to do?"
Jiang Yu, whose expression had been quite gentle just moments before, turned serious upon hearing her question.
He glanced at the little fish and said, "I'm going to talk to my auntie. Why don't you go play over there?"
Watching Xiaoyu obediently walk to the other side, he lowered his voice and said, "Xiaoyu and her mother were able to come to Loucheng safely because their whereabouts were not discovered at the time."
"It is extremely difficult to return to the capital now."
At this point, a rare look of hesitation appeared on his face.
He traced a few circles on the table with his finger before calmly speaking, "I've decided to personally lead them to the capital."
Wei Wei paused for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "That's excellent. It will make Xiaoyu and his mother safer."
Jiang Yu stared intently at her with his beautiful peach blossom eyes, as if he had a lot to say, but in the end, he could only manage a single "hmm".
The room fell silent, and both of them suddenly found themselves preoccupied with their own thoughts.
Wei Wei tried to cheer herself up and, to ignore the disappointment in her heart, deliberately joked, "Did you come here tonight to say goodbye?"
Jiang Yu's gaze fell on her face, his eyes deep and unfathomable, but he remained silent.
It seems she really guessed it.
Wei Wei's smile seemed to have faded.
