Chapter 089: What is the purpose?

In the next two days, Wei Mingxi seemed like a different person. He spent half a day in the kitchen, preparing everything from sweet soups and snacks to three meals a day... He was very busy and happy.

But Ruan Qinghuan couldn't stand it anymore. This girl had never done any housework since she was a child, let alone making a fire or cooking. She had always just had everything provided for her.

Now she suddenly gives up cooking...but cooking really does require talent, but she obviously doesn't have this talent.

More importantly, she obviously chose the wrong person to show her goodwill. Ruan Qinghuan is not Ruan Qingzhou, let alone He An. What is she trying to say?

He'an has been very busy recently and rarely eats at home. He came back early today and finally tasted the meal made by his cousin. He frowned slightly.

Wei Mingxi asked the maid to put the food on the table as if presenting a treasure: "Cousin, sister-in-law, today I just learned how to make braised spareribs, you can try it."

Seeing Wei Mingxi's hopeful face, Ruan Qinghuan couldn't bear to dampen her enthusiasm, so she had to pick up a piece and put it in the bowl, but she felt mixed emotions in her heart.

After spending time with her, she realized that Wei Mingxi was not a bad person, but she was used to doing things her own way. She was used to being self-centered in everything, whether it was fighting with her for He An or trying to please Ruan Qingzhou now.

It's completely the mentality of a child who hasn't grown up yet.

Seeing that they had all finished eating, Wei Mingxi asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?"

"Yeah, that's good."

“Too salty.”

The two people said the same thing, but their answers were completely different.

Wei Mingxi took a piece of it, tasted it, and immediately spat it out. It was indeed very salty. The happy expression on his face faded, and his initial sense of accomplishment disappeared without a trace. A strong sense of frustration surged in his heart.

Wei Mingxi has never felt so useless as he does now.

Seeing her eyes redden again, Ruan Qinghuan put down his chopsticks and said, "Mingxi, what do you want to achieve by doing so many things?"

"I..." Wei Mingxi lowered his head.

She just wanted to show Ruan Qinghuan that she was not incapable of doing everything. She could do everything a woman could do. After a long silence, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to work in Ruan's rouge shop."

"Nonsense." He'an's face turned cold.

Ruan Qinghuan: “…”

I knew that she was so diligent for no reason and must have something to ask for, but I didn't expect that she was just doing it for the sake of working.

When Wei Mingxi was yelled at by He An, tears of grievance and hurt instantly fell, and the stubbornness in his bones also surged out: "I'm not kidding, I just want to do what I want to do, what's wrong with that?"

He'an was about to get angry but was stopped by Ruan Qinghuan. There were some things she still wanted to discuss with Wei Mingxi.

**

The two returned to the courtyard of the guest room. Wei Mingxi cried even more sadly, complaining as she cried: "My cousin has never been so cruel to me before. Now that he has a wife, he no longer cares about me, his cousin."

Wei Mingxi didn’t understand. She wanted to stay in the capital. What was wrong with that?

If she goes back to Jing County now, her parents might never let her come here again.

Ruan Qinghuan did not try to persuade her, but let her cry until she entered the room and sat down. Then he said, "Mingxi, do you really just want to stay in the capital?"

After hearing this, Wei Mingxi stopped crying immediately, and her eyes flickered, not daring to look at Ruan Qinghuan.

How could such a small action be hidden from Ruan Qinghuan? He got straight to the point and said, "Is it for Qingzhou?"

Wei Mingxi: “…”

When she heard the name, her heart seemed to skip a beat and her face turned slightly red.

Wei Mingxi herself couldn't explain clearly when she changed. After the first meeting, she was annoyed with Ruan Qingzhou. The second time they met, he soaked her in a water tank and she vaguely felt as if he kissed her... At that time, she just felt embarrassed and angry about it. She must not let anyone know, so she wanted to find him and explain it clearly.

Until that day in the alley, when she was kidnapped and her life was hanging by a thread, Ruan Qingzhou did not stand idly by, but rescued her...

In Wei Mingxi's eyes, Ruan Qingzhou suddenly became tall and brave, completely losing his previous sloppy and unruly look.

Without her saying anything, Ruan Qinghuan knew that she had guessed right, and she felt very conflicted. She knew what her brother was thinking, that he had no romantic feelings for Wei Mingxi, and if it dragged on, there was no telling what kind of trouble might arise.

The worst thing to do when it comes to love is to drag things out; you should always make things clear.

Ruan Qinghuan poured two cups of tea, and after a little consideration, he spoke: "Qingzhou's temperament is casual, and he has no plans to get married at the moment..."

"I know, and I don't want to force him. I just want to stay in Beijing for a while longer." Wei Mingxi said, biting her lip.

Ruan Qinghuan frowned.

After arriving in Beijing, many things happened and Wei Mingxi's mood changed slightly. He originally thought that he liked his cousin, and after learning that he was married, he came to Beijing despite his parents' opposition. He had such a strong desire to win over others that he wished he could win his cousin back immediately.

Reckless and arbitrary.

But now it's different. She has a lot of concerns, and even... she's even worried that Ruan Qingzhou will dislike her and abandon her... She has thought about going back to Jing County, but when she thinks about not seeing him again, she feels like a stone is pressing on her heart, and she feels so uncomfortable that she can't breathe.

"Sister-in-law, I did something wrong before, you must be very angry, whether you believe it or not, I really realize that I am wrong, can you help me talk to my aunt, don't chase me away for the time being?"

At that time, Meng Suqiu, who was hiding in a quiet place in another village, was also in a very confused mood. However, He Qi Zhang was leisurely and comfortable, standing under the ginkgo tree and teasing the birds.

Listening to his wife sighing, He Qi Zhang comforted her: "When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way out. There is no need to think about those things every day."

"It's easy for you to say. It's really hard to deal with a relative." It's true that Meng Suqiu loves her daughter-in-law, but she also loves her only niece. If it was another young man, things would be much simpler, but it was Qingzhou...

She had met that kid several times. He was different from the children of officials in Beijing. He seemed carefree, but he was actually very capable. He had a bit of the scoundrel spirit of a gangster, and he also had good kung fu skills...

It's not surprising that Mingxi likes him, but I'm afraid that his feelings are unrequited and they end up parting on bad terms, damaging their friendship.

"So, if it's hard to manage, then don't manage it. Qingzhou is a sensible kid and won't take advantage of others. We can't just listen to Mingxi's one-sided story. Let's wait and see. If the two of them are not meant to be together, they will naturally drift apart."

Meng Suqiu glared at him when she heard that. He was so clear-headed in his life, as if he had no care in his heart. "It's easy for you to say that. Mingxi is a person of such a temperament. He's already fallen into such a deep trap. What if he really gets stuck in a dead end..."

"You keep chanting Buddha's name all day long. It seems that you can save others but not yourself." He Qi Zhang said with a smile, "The Ruan family will hold a wedding on the sixth day of September. If it still doesn't work out by then, you can send a letter to Jing County and ask my sister to send someone to pick you up."

Meng Suqiu nodded, this is a solution.

After this matter was over, she planned to go back home, but she heard the old man say, "No hurry, let's stay for a while."

"Why?"

"There have been a lot of things going on in the court recently. We may be asked for help. If we are not at home, it will cause less trouble for our son."

Meng Suqiu frowned. The Lucheng incident had caused unrest in the court. The quarrel between An'er and the Dali Temple Minister had now caused a great uproar in the city. The old man was right. At this critical juncture, I wonder how many people would want to ask his son to save their lives.
