The nanny said, "After investigation, it turns out that Weng Hui is Wu Shuangshuang's half-sister. She was born to a concubine."
Wu Ran, the eldest son of the Wu family, is not in good health. I am afraid that Wu Shuangshuang and Weng Hui's heart disease is caused by Wu Ran.
After Wu Ran got married, he and his wife Wen Nuan had a daughter, Wu Shuangshuang. His mother-in-law said that Wu Ran was in poor health and needed to take good care of himself, and asked Wen Nuan to take better care of her husband, and then took Wu Shuangshuang away.
Wu Shuangshuang grew up in her mother-in-law's courtyard, and Wen Nuan was responsible for taking care of her husband Wu Ran wholeheartedly.
The Wu family's mother-in-law wanted Wen Nuan to adopt a child from Wu Ran's younger brother Wu Fei, and not to have any more children herself. After all, Wu Ran was in poor health, and Wu Shuangshuang also had a heart disease, so there was no need to have another child.
Wen Nuan decided not to have any more children and devoted herself to taking care of Wu Ran. However, Wu Ran had a mistress and had been with her for seven or eight years without telling his wife. They had a son and a daughter. The daughter had the mistress's surname, Weng Hui. The son was taken home and she lied to Wen Nuan that he was her brother Wu Fei's son. The son was adopted by Wu Ran and named Wu Sheng. Wen Nuan raised the son the whole time.
Old Madam Mei asked, "How did Weng Hui become a slave, a maid, and then be sold again by her master, and then bought back by Xuan Qi as a concubine?"
The nanny said, "Perhaps the Wu family's mother-in-law had decided to keep the concubine and the child. After learning that Weng Hui also had a heart attack, she decided not to keep the concubine anymore. A year after Wu Sheng brought her home, the concubine's house was robbed by bandits, who killed and set her on fire. It was said that both the mother and daughter in the house were dead. Weng Hui was only about three or four years old at the time."
Now it seems that at least Weng Hui is not dead. Somehow she fell into the hands of a man and became a servant, and was sold many times by her master.
Until the Second Master accidentally saw her and bought her back as his concubine."
The maid paused and continued, "Weng Hui has now been freed from slavery by the Second Master and is a free citizen."
Seeing that the old lady had murderous intentions, the nanny had to remind her of this.
The old lady asked, "When did he do this?"
The nanny said, "After Weng Hui gave birth to Mei Ruolin."
Old Mrs. Mei asked, "What about Shuxin?"
The nanny said, "Second Master didn't mention Shuxin's identity."
"So Shuxin is still a slave?"
"yes."
The old lady understood what the nanny who had followed her for many years meant and said, "No matter how much Xuanqi doted on her before, I never had such thoughts. But what she did, especially conspiring with Xuanqi to beat the children, not only stole things and framed Shuxin, but also hurt the children."
The maid said, "If the Second Master had not abolished her slavery, then stealing the mistress's precious crown and hairpins and selling them would have been enough."
Old Madam Mei sighed and said, "Wen Nuan still doesn't know that Wu Sheng is her husband's concubine?"
"Yes, I raised him single-handedly, and it's been almost twenty years."
Mei Xuanqi heard from his mother that the matter of Weng Hui stealing the crown and hairpin was handed over to Yuan Zhixi for punishment, so he came to find his wife.
When Yuan Zhixi saw him coming, she didn't greet him or serve him tea. In front of Old Madam Mei, she at least gave him the face of a husband, but now she completely ignored him.
Mei Xuanqi was not angry when he saw his wife ignoring him. What he feared most was not that Yuan Zhixi would lose her temper with him, but that she was well-behaved and polite, and you could not find any fault with her.
But every time she did this, his heart felt as cold as ice.
But whenever she was a little bit arrogant, like that time at breakfast when he noticed her peeking at him, his heart softened and he was willing to give her whatever she wanted.
Now that she was angry and making faces at him, Mei Xuanqi felt happy. This was normal: it was normal for her to be angry. She had beaten four children. Which mother wouldn't be angry?
At first, Mei Xuanqi was worried that she would take the children away, and he felt panicked and confused. But now, hearing that his mother seemed to be staying, he felt a sense of joy and relief as if he had regained what he had lost.
Seeing that she was angry and ignored him, he felt that this was his wife. He went up to her and hugged her, buried his head in her black hair and said, "It's good that you don't leave."
Yuan Zhixi pushed him away and said, "Second Master, are you here for Weng Hui's matter?"
Mei Xuanqi pulled her into his arms again and hugged her: "It's my husband's fault. The children's problems and your problems are all my fault. I wanted to ask you about Weng Hui's problem, but more importantly, I wanted to come and see you and the children. A while ago, I wandered around outside your yard for most of the night and couldn't get through this door."
Yuan Zhixi said to herself, "Second Master, you've come at the right time. I was going to send someone to invite you because I have something I want your advice on.
The hairpin that Weng Hui stole had been sold twice. She found two buyers and had received the money from the first buyer, but she asked her maid to take an ordinary hairpin to the buyer.
The buyer didn't look like a kind person, and her maid was almost beaten to death by him. Only then did the girl realize that Weng Hui wanted her to die.
As long as she died, we could put all the charges such as stealing and selling hairpins on her. After this girl figured it out, she was caught by us and confessed everything.
This money was originally owed to someone else, but it has not been found out yet. Weng Hui refused to admit where she kept the banknote after receiving it.
Now the buyer is anxious to get the money back, is Second Master going to use the money to pay off Aunt Weng's debt?"
Mei Xuanqi said, "Is this money really there? Don't let those scammers fool you. Since Weng Hui is refusing to admit it, she might have been wronged. For example, she hasn't accepted any money from anyone."
Yuan Zhixi said, "Second Master, do you really have to wait until we find out the truth before biting your tongue?
I have another question for you, Master. Can you return Shuxin's indenture to her?
Mei Xuanqi said: "This won't work."
After hearing this, Yuan Zhixi said, "Second Master, please go back. I have to go and look after Yinxue and Yinhua and change their medicine."
Mei Xuanqi felt a little depressed after hearing this and didn't want to leave. He asked again, "What are you going to do with Weng Hui's matter?"
Yuan Zhixi said, "Let's wait until the matter is thoroughly investigated before we talk about it."
Mei Xuanqi had no choice but to come out and go back in a depressed mood.
Not long after returning home, I heard a servant come to report hurriedly: "Something happened."
The children did not have enough medicine for the next time, so Yuan Zhixi went to the drugstore and was kidnapped. The kidnappers sent a letter to the doorman, saying that our house had taken the money he used to buy a hairpin, but now he would not give him the hairpin or the money.
He was really forced to capture the people in the mansion and let the people in the Mei Mansion bring money to him to exchange for people.
Here, Mei Xuanqi took the banknotes and jumped on his horse to rescue people. Weng Hui suddenly ran out in a hurry and cried to Mei Xuanqi, "Second Master, Mei Ruolin has also been arrested."
She didn't dare to show the letter the kidnapper gave her to the Second Master. She only vaguely said that Mei Ruolin had also been captured and asked the Second Master to rescue her as well.
After hearing this, Mr. Mei could only say, "Go back first and don't block the horse. I will bring them all back."
This is what Mr. Mei said, but in the end he only brought back one person, Mei Ruolin.
Anxiously awaiting his return, Mrs. Mei and the children hurriedly asked him, "Where's Zhixi?" "Where's mother?"
