Chapter 165: This son hasn’t forgotten to take a concubine for his father?

Finally, Mrs. Wei and her group entered the Liu family's gate.

It was because the driver couldn't handle the situation after seeing the lively gathering outside, so he winked at the doorman of the Liu family. Soon, the wife of the first wife of the Liu family came out with her maid. In front of Mrs. Wei and her group, she pretended to scold the driver, saying that he was disrespectful to the guests. She also called Mrs. Wei "Second Aunt" in a very affectionate manner.

Mrs. Wei smiled with a fake smile: "I don't dare to be called the second aunt. The first lady is too polite."

There were other people watching outside. No matter how disrespectful the eldest wife of the Liu family was to her stepmother-in-law Wei Sanniang, she could not do that in front of outsiders and let others point fingers and laugh at her.

The eldest wife of the Liu family was extremely careful.

Mrs. Wei didn't want to make things too awkward, after all, she still had to consider Wei Sanniang's face. After a cold sneer, she took Xingxing's hand, followed by Yu Sanbao, Su Rouer, and Ju Ge'er, and entered the Liu family's gate.

Mrs. Wei hasn't been to the Liu family for some time.

When they were poor in the past, she was afraid that the Liu family would think she was coming to extort money from them. Even during the most difficult times of famine, as long as they were not completely destitute, Mrs. Wei never thought of coming to Wei Sanniang to extort money from them.

The family was now well-off, and the small shop run by Yu Sanbao not only paid back its investment, but also made a net profit of nearly one hundred taels of silver in less than half a year. Mrs. Wei felt emboldened, and she also heard that her nephew was bullied by the eldest wife of the Liu family in his marriage, so she thought of visiting relatives during the New Year and coming to the Liu family to see how things were going.

As it turned out, the eldest wife of the Liu family was even more excessive than she had imagined!

The Liu family was actually just a wealthy family in the provincial capital, not a big family. The house had two entrances, and after walking a few steps, they reached the inner courtyard.

Wei Sanniang had just heard the news that Wei Pozi and the others had arrived. She came out of the courtyard with a look of surprise on her face and excitedly pulled Wei Pozi's hand: "Second sister! I received your letter earlier, and Yuanfeng read it for me. I thought you would not be able to come until the sixth day of the New Year at least."

Mrs. Wei had just met Wei Sanniang a few months ago. After taking a closer look at her, she felt that she looked better than before.

Mrs. Wei, who had been unhappy ever since she came to the Liu family, finally felt a little relieved.

The wife of the Liu family's eldest wife was still following behind.

There were no outsiders at this time, and the wife of the Liu family's eldest wife looked indifferent: "The old lady's relatives are very powerful. They are not afraid of bringing shame to our Liu family in public."

After saying this, he left with his maid.

Wei Sanniang held Wei Pozi's hand tightly.

Mrs. Wei curled her lips and said, "Don't worry about her. Let's go inside and talk first."

Wei Sanniang said hello in a low voice.

Although the Liu family is not big, the wife of the first wife is still followed by two maids.

But Wei Sanniang only had one maid.

The maid, who was not good-looking, was wiping the table silently in the room.

Seeing Wei Sanniang bringing guests back, the maid put the rag in the basin and walked out with the basin.

After a while, he came back with tea.

During this time, Mrs. Wei was looking around at the place where Wei Sanniang lived.

She couldn't help but ask, "...Why is your place the same as when I came here many years ago?"

The furnishings are very old.

Wei Sanniang didn't care: "It's nothing..."

She interrupted the topic and called out to Ju Ge'er and Xing Xing with a smile.

"Come to your aunt's place, and she will give you some New Year's money." Wei Sanniang said with a smile.

Ju Ge'er and Xing Xing came forward to kowtow to Wei Sanniang, and each received a small silver plum blossom as a New Year's gift.

It was the first time Xingxing saw this, and she looked at it curiously in her palm.

Wei Sanniang smiled and said, "It's a custom here in the state capital. During the New Year, we go to the silver shop to make some auspicious patterns and give them to the young as New Year gifts."

"Thank you, Auntie." Xingxing said sweetly, "Xingxing likes this plum blossom."

Wei Sanniang smiled so hard that she couldn't stop, and asked the maid to bring a box of melon seeds for Xingxing and Ju Ge'er to eat.

Yu Sanbao and Su Rouer sat aside.

Yu Sanbao asked, "Aunt San, why don't you see cousin Yuanfeng?"

Speaking of Yuanfeng, Wei Sanniang flashed a somewhat proud smile on her face: "Your cousin Yuanfeng went to give a holiday gift to his tutor today... He changed to another school before the New Year, and the tutor there thought your cousin Yuanfeng was very talented and treated him well."

Speaking of this, Wei Sanniang felt a little melancholy again.

His son didn't like doing business at all, but the eldest wife guarded against him like a thief, fearing that he would take away the family property.

"What about Old Lady Liu?" Mrs. Wei asked in a low voice.

The smile on Wei Sanniang's face faded a little, and she whispered, "...Recently, the eldest wife has given the old lady a concubine."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wei's eyes widened in disbelief.

Taking a concubine?

Old Madam Liu is already quite old, and yet her son still remembers to take a concubine for her?

Yu Sanbao shook his head: "The eldest wife is really good at planning. She gave the old man a beautiful concubine now. Anyway, the old man is too old to give birth to a concubine to divide the family property. She can also win the favor of the old man... She is really smart."

Wei Sanniang lowered her head somewhat awkwardly.

She twisted her fingers and said nothing.

Mrs. Wei said in a gentle tone, "Let's not talk about others. We came here this time because we heard that Yuanfeng will be discussing marriage in the near future?"

Speaking of this, Wei Sanniang raised her head and nodded repeatedly, saying, "It was thanks to Sanbao that I saw through the trick of the first wife last time. Otherwise, I, Yuanfeng, would have been tricked to death by the first wife."

She couldn't help but sigh again: "The old man's health is getting worse. During the Chinese New Year, he said that he wanted Yuanfeng to get married and start a family soon. But with the eldest wife watching over him, Yuanfeng can't find any reliable family at all..."

Speaking of this, Wei Sanniang became very worried.

She thought she was being cautious enough.

Since she was promoted to the position of the wife, she never dared to act like a legitimate wife in front of the first wife. It was also after many years that she asked for Yuanfeng.

But what worries Wei Sanniang is that no matter how she tries to please them or how cautious she is, the people in the first house always think that she and Yuanfeng are thorns in their eyes and flesh.

"Didn't your grandfather say anything?" asked Mrs. Wei with a frown.

Wei Sanniang shook her head: "He has always been like that. As long as he doesn't get into trouble, he doesn't care about the methods used by the eldest wife."

Mrs. Wei couldn't help but curse him as an old fool in her heart.

As they were talking, Liu Yuanfeng, who had brought a holiday gift to his tutor, came back.

"Mom, I heard that Second Aunt is here?"

Before Liu Yuanfeng entered the house, the young man's cheerful voice had already been heard.

Mrs. Wei hadn't seen Liu Yuanfeng for a long time. She stood up excitedly and said to the young man who strode into the house with big strides, "Yuanfeng! Let Second Aunt take a good look at you!"

Liu Yuanfeng walked up to Mrs. Wei and bowed deeply: "Happy New Year to my second aunt."

He looked at Yu Sanbao again, his expression excited: "Third cousin!"
