Wei Wei stared at the object that her servants were carrying, a cold smile creeping across her face.
These are indeed the best things from the capital, extremely rare in towns and cities outside.
If they can produce these things, then Madam Meng will only keep even more.
Having paid such a high price, it seems that woman's ultimate goal was to get herself.
Do you think it's fun for cats to catch mice?
Wei Wei remained silent for a long time, and the old woman grew anxious: "Second Madam, you know she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Young Madam, you are magnanimous, so please don't hold a grudge against her anymore. Actually, she's not feeling good either."
The second wife of the prestigious Meng family has seen all sorts of fine things, yet now she's willing to be treated like a dog for these mere rare trinkets.
I'm not afraid of being laughed at if I tell others.
She did intend to go and take a look, but she couldn't agree so easily.
So I decided to tease her on purpose.
After the old woman had talked herself hoarse, she mumbled, "We'll see."
The old woman was naturally unwilling and was about to say something more when she became impatient: "Second Aunt, you're so eager for me to go, are you just setting a trap for me?"
The old woman, who hadn't even uttered a sound yet, was choked so badly that her face turned bright red.
Wei Wei waved her hand, her voice tinged with impatience: "Let's go, let's go, it's annoying to look at you."
Her attitude greatly angered Madam Meng in the courtyard.
However, one is bound to be obligated to those who offer food or gifts.
She always tried to find a way to get Wei Wei to agree to go with her.
——
The agreed time is three days later.
During this time, Madam Meng came over twice more. She swallowed her pride and wanted to befriend Wei Wei. Although Wei Wei made a few sarcastic remarks, she eventually agreed.
She also wanted to see what kind of person was hiding in the shadows.
Madam Meng was overjoyed to see that she had agreed, and even gave her several pieces of jewelry as if she had no grudges: "My sister-in-law is not in good health and has not done what a mother-in-law should do. If you don't mind, please treat your second aunt as your mother."
"Just tell me if you're missing anything."
Meng Erfu's words were quite clever. First, they belittled the First Madam, and second, they used those unwanted old jewelry pieces to make themselves look like a good person.
The conflict at Yanshou Hall that day was witnessed by anyone with eyes.
She enjoys putting on an act, but Wei Wei has no desire to play along.
He lazily agreed and turned around to throw those things aside.
Before leaving on the third day, she made a point of feeding Meng Zhixuan a few sips of water.
Let's chat for a while longer.
"My second aunt said your mother was useless, and I scolded her for it."
"Although your mother doesn't really act like an elder, she did give birth to you."
She spoke softly, "Zhixuan, you must remember the good I've done for you. If you ever betray me, you'll have to pay with your life."
Looking at Meng Zhixuan, who had become extremely thin, she instructed Xiao Qiao'er, "Isn't it time for the doctor to come for a consultation today?"
Xiao Qiao'er replied, "Yes, young mistress."
"The young master's illness requires a check-up every three days. The doctor will arrive in another hour."
Wei Wei's smile widened: "Have someone tell that doctor not to come."
She spoke softly, "The young master is fine, very quiet, and there's nothing unusual about him."
As soon as Xiao Qiao'er agreed, she saw Meng Zhixuan's eyes darting around wildly.
He disagreed.
What's the use of disagreeing? At Tingfengxuan now, her word is law!
"Keep an eye on things, and don't let anyone barge in and disturb the young master's rest."
——
The Jiang residence was very close; as soon as they left the Meng family's house, they saw the lively scene across the street.
The carriages coming and going were indeed from prominent families in Loucheng, including the Qin family's lady and young lady, who arrived around the same time as them.
Wei Wei's gaze, however, passed over Madam Qin's face and settled on another young woman.
She was about the same age as her, and her hair was also tied up.
A round face makes one look blessed.
But only Wei Wei knew that he was a pitiful person.
Wei Wei followed Madam Meng forward.
She greeted the other ladies with a smug smile.
The Meng family was not a small or insignificant family in Loucheng; many people gave them face.
However, when their gazes fell on Wei Wei, they carried a somewhat ambiguous meaning.
A lady who was on good terms with Madam Meng pulled her aside and said in a low voice, "You have such a good temper, why did you take her out with you?"
Madam Meng smiled kindly and helplessly: "Oh well, there's nothing I can do. Sister Zhang... she's a member of the Meng family now after all."
Madam Zhang pushed her hand away: "It's only because you have a good temper. If it were me, I'd be doing her a favor by not putting her in solitary confinement!"
Before I could say anything more, Wei Wei suddenly appeared out of nowhere, beaming, "Is Madam talking about me? Why are you putting me in solitary confinement?"
The man was startled, and his face turned black.
"You don't know why?" she asked with a look of disdain.
Wei Wei nodded honestly: "Yeah, I'm curious about it now."
Madam Meng Er stepped in to smooth things over: "What do you mean by knowing or not knowing? It's not a big deal. Let's go inside quickly."
I tried to pull Wei Wei up, but unfortunately, I couldn't get her moving.
That way, he'd definitely make the lady in front of him give him a proper explanation.
Mrs. Zhang, who was startled, was furious.
Seeing Wei Wei staring intently at him, and then threatening him?
She snorted and said, "After you married into the Meng family, you first harmed your mother-in-law and her wet nurse, then you had an improper relationship with someone, bringing shame to your husband, and even made the old lady faint from anger!"
