Lake cruise
While talking to Fu Huaiying, he looked down at the shadows of the two people on the ground. Fu Bai stood beside Wen Yuhe, shaking his head in disappointment.
Mother Yang heard the noise outside, looked out, then turned back and whispered in Wen Shuangye's ear, "Madam, the young master is here too."
Wen Shuangye finally stood up and stopped wasting time, "Let them in, don't accuse me of mistreating a concubine's daughter."
"yes."
Mother Yang walked into the yard and said, "Miss, Master, come in."
"yes."
"aunt!"
Before Wen Yu and his men entered, the voice had already arrived.
Wen Shuangye loved him the most. When she saw him come in, she smiled so hard that her teeth couldn't see her eyes, and called him "my darling".
Fu Huaiying was disdainful in her heart, but she still looked gentle and innocent. When Wen Shuangye saw her, her expression paled a little, but considering that Wen Yuhe was present, she could only let her sit down.
The lotus-patterned box in Fu Huaiying's hand was inlaid with gold thread and dotted with a circle of pearls, making it particularly eye-catching. Wen Shuangye lowered her eyes to take a look and casually asked, "What is the third lady holding in her hand?"
Before Fu Huaiying could speak, Wen Yuhe was afraid that her aunt would give her a hard time, so she spoke first, "That's for Sister Huaiying. If you like it, I'll buy one for you too."
Wen Shuangye's face was visibly ugly. "No, I'm old. How can I compare to a young girl? It's not suitable for me."
Fu Huaiying stood up tactfully and handed the rouge box to Mother Yang. "I don't like to dress up on weekdays, so this rouge is useless to me. It hasn't even been opened yet. If you like it, mother, I'll just offer it to you."
Mother Yang naturally wouldn't shirk her responsibility. She took the rouge box and handed it to Wen Shuangye. "Since the Fourth Young Lady is so filial, I think Madam doesn't need to refuse. After all, it's a gift from the Fourth Young Lady and her cousin."
This was said in a decent manner, allowing Wen Shuangye to get a box of rouge. She then praised everyone present. Fu Huaiying narrowed her eyes. This Mother Yang was quite smart.
Wen Shuangye took the rouge box and put it aside. She didn't really need such a thing, but since she had snatched it from Fu Huaiying, every time she saw that face that looked very similar to Liu Mei groveling and submitting to her, she felt very comfortable. Today, she snatched the rouge box from her again, so she was naturally very happy.
Wen Yuhe immediately turned to look at Fu Huaiying, and saw that she didn't look unhappy at all and was still smiling gently, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Shuangye chatted with them for a few words and then asked them to go back. Fu Huaiying stood up, bowed respectfully, and then turned and left.
When Wen Yuhe saw her leaving, he couldn't sit still and caught up with her and followed her. Wen Shuangye shook her head, but was helpless.
"Sister Huaiying, if you like it, I will buy you another one."
Fu Huaiying shook her head, "No need, I don't like using rouge."
"Okay then, but Auntie has been treating you much better these days, and your relationship has improved a lot. One day... she will definitely agree..."
Wen Yuhe's voice became smaller and smaller, his face flushed slightly, and he lowered his head so that he didn't see the coldness in Fu Huaiying's eyes.
She lowered her eyes, relenting? I wish she were dead.
"Sister Huaiying, my brother will be back soon. In a few days, when he comes back, he will definitely bring us gifts. Are you looking forward to it?"
Fu Huaiying's eyes gradually softened, "Looking forward to it."
Wen Chuyan has been practicing martial arts since he was young and has been staying at the border all year round. He rarely comes back. He has a strong sense of family and cannot tolerate any injustice, so his relationship with Wen Shuangye is not very good. He can't stand Wen Shuangye treating his illegitimate children harshly every day and often advises her.
Every time he came back, he would bring them gifts and treat everyone equally. When he came back, Wen Shuangye would be more restrained. He was also the only one who would stand up for her when she was bullied, see all her hesitation and helplessness, and protect her.
Fu Huaiying reached out and touched the hairpin in her hair. This was also a gift from him. She had worn it every day for so many years and never took it off.
Over the years, Wen Chuyan has always been very good to her. Fu Huaiying didn't know whether it was because she was pretending to be well-behaved or because Wen Shuangye loved to tease her the most.
Wen Yuhe felt a little jealous when he saw her distracted, "Sister Huaiying, do you like my brother more than me?"
Fu Huaiying's face paled. This was the reason she disliked Wen Yuhe. He never thought before speaking, and never worried about the impact on others. He just said whatever came to his mind. To put it nicely, he was straightforward, but to put it bluntly, he was stupid. She raised her eyes and said, "Don't say that kind of thing."
Wen Yuhe was young and always spoke without thinking. Whenever he said something, Wen Shuangye would feel that she was deliberately inducing him.
Wen Yuhe was a little flustered. He was most afraid that Fu Huaiying would ignore him. "I was wrong, Sister Huaiying, I won't say such things again. Please don't ignore me. You know, I'm most afraid of you getting angry."
Fu Huaiying glanced at him calmly, "Are you afraid that I'll be angry?"
"Uh-huh."
Wen Yuhe nodded frantically.
Fu Huaiying raised her eyes to look at him, meeting those wet little deer eyes, her eyebrows smiling, her red lips slightly parted, "Then don't make me angry, I like obedient people, do you understand?"
Fu Huaiying is undoubtedly beautiful. Her biological mother is beautiful enough, and she has completely inherited her mother's beauty. The slight difference is that her eyebrows and eyes are tinged with charm, making her look gentle and charming. The corners of Fu Huaiying's eyes are slightly upturned, which adds a bit of coldness to her eyebrows. When she looks at her, she looks cold but gentle.
Wen Yuhe was mesmerized by the look she gave him. He stopped thinking about anything else and just stared at her blankly. It took him a moment to react and his ears turned red instantly.
"I know. I will be more obedient in the future. Sister, please don't ignore me."
Fu Bai was stunned watching from behind. This was a slap in the face followed by a sweet reward, but the young master just fell for it. She didn't like people to be obedient at all. She was clearly treating his young master like a dog!
Noticing the gaze behind him, Fu Huaiying turned around and glanced at Fu Bai indifferently.
Fu Bai felt cold all over.
Yue Wan supported the girl as they stepped out of Frost Moon Courtyard. He whispered in her ear, "Miss, the palace banquet will be held in a few days. As for Madam, please be patient as much as you can."
Fu Huaiying didn't respond, sneering in her heart. Palace banquet? I'm afraid Wen Shuangye can't go.
As she expected, when she paid her respects the next day, Wen Shuangye did not let her in, nor did she make things difficult for her. She only sent Mother Yang out to ask them to go back.
Wen Shuangye is very concerned about her reputation and will definitely not let them in at this time. Her children are in Fanghua Academy and only come back once every ten days, so there are only her and Wen Yuhe outside.
Wen Yuhe felt a little strange. Every time he came, his aunt would call him in warmly, but why did she let Mother Yang send them back today?
"Sister Huaiying, do you think my aunt is sick?"
Fu Huaiying smiled and said, "I don't know."
It seems that the thing has taken effect. Wen Shuangye has not been able to see anyone these days. She always adds ingredients to her meals. Now that she has a small kitchen, she doesn't have to be timid when doing things. It can be regarded as a small return gift.
Fu Huaiying guessed correctly. Wen Shuangye had some pustules on her face, which were red and itchy. She didn't dare to see anyone at all. She could only go outside and ask a doctor with a tight-lipped mouth to see her.
Wen Shuangye covered her face, "Doctor...what's wrong with me?"
The doctor stroked his beard and asked, "Madam, have you taken any medicinal baths recently?"
She nodded. She had the habit of taking medicinal baths every three days.
"That's right. If it's a purely medicinal bath, there's no problem. However, it can't be used with other things, such as incense. However, it's not clear what it is that conflicts with. Madam, please be more careful when taking a medicinal bath."
Wen Shuangye nodded and told Mother Yang to remove all the incense in the house. "Then...how long will it take for my face to heal?"
"I'll prescribe a prescription for you. You'll be fine after taking it for a few days. By the way, you should try to be less angry. Excessive liver fire is not good for your health."
Wen Shuangye felt embarrassed, but she couldn't show a bad face to the doctor, so she could only look up and signal Mother Yang to send the doctor out.
The doctor can diagnose illnesses, but he cannot predict the medicinal powder specially prepared for her. Fu Huaiying's talent lies in making medicine. She rubbed some powder on the rouge box. She calculated that Wen Shuangye would not refuse the opportunity to take her things. Moreover, the poison she made is not visible to ordinary doctors. The efficacy of this powder has not been tested yet, but it is just right to deal with Wen Shuangye at this time.
Even if Wen Shuangye was smarter and checked the rouge, she wouldn't be able to find any flaws. The dosage she used was extremely small, colorless and odorless, and even a silver needle couldn't detect it. Anyone who saw it would just say it was a rash caused by excessive liver fire.
Fu Huaiying walked out of Shuangyue Courtyard, and Wen Yuhe followed her closely, hesitating and not daring to speak, until Fu Bai gently pushed her from behind.
"Sister Huaiying..."
"Um?"
"Today... Today I made an appointment with some friends to go boating on the lake. The weather has warmed up a bit in the past two days. They said that drinking hot tea, boating on the lake and listening to music is a unique experience."
Fu Huaiying originally wanted to refuse directly, but then she thought that since it was so rare for her to go out, boating on the lake was not impossible, so she nodded and agreed.
Wen Yuhe was so happy that he almost jumped up, "Then, I'll wait for you to change your clothes. Don't worry, I'll just wait outside the courtyard and won't go in."
Fu Huaiying nodded. Actually, she didn't really need to change clothes or put on makeup. It was just a boat trip, so there was no need to be too formal. But she still had to go back and change into a cloak. Although it was getting warmer, it was still cold.
Wen Yuhe didn't have to wait long before she came out. He looked at the cloak on Fu Huaiying and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. "Sister Huaiying, was this cloak a gift from my brother?"
Fu Huaiying nodded, "Yeah."
Apart from Wen Chuyan, who else could take care of her? How could the eldest lady, who even cut down on charcoal, possibly make clothes for her? Her monthly allowance was not much, and she also had to buy books every month, so it was natural that she would not be willing to buy clothes like this.
Wen Yuhe looked at the hairpin on her head and the cloak on her body, feeling a little lost. To Sister Huaiying, his brother was much more important than him.
Fu Huaiying didn't know what he meant by making such an aggrieved expression, but when she saw where his eyes were, she knew what he was thinking at the moment.
"Let's go."
"Sister Huaiying, can I ride in a carriage with you?"
"Of course not. Boys and girls don't sit together at the same age as seven."
Although it didn't mean that they couldn't even ride in the carriage together, she didn't want to go with Wen Yuhe because he would definitely make a lot of noise all the way.
"Oh well."
Fu Bai looked at the young master's lost look and felt secretly uncomfortable in his heart. He blamed Fu Huaiying for not knowing what was good for her. She did not cherish such a kind-hearted person as her own young master. Naturally, she would not be able to find someone as devoted as her young master in the future.
