Chapter 125 Niece, I Miss You So Much
The next day, the breakfast served to Mrs. Mo consisted of only a bowl of vegetable porridge and a plate of steamed dumplings.
Since marrying into the Marquis's Mansion, Mrs. Mo has never eaten such simple meals. She was furious and wanted to settle the score with Chunxi. Before she reached the Wenxin Courtyard, she saw Chunxi walking towards her.
As she got closer, Mrs. Mo saw the pure gold intertwined branches hairpin on Chunxi's head, the hollow carved Hetian magnolia hairpin, and the gold jade necklace and agate bracelet. Each of them was a valuable item.
She, as the mother-in-law, can only eat vegetable porridge, while her daughter-in-law wears gold and silver and is very ostentatious. It's really the opposite of what Tiangang does!
"Cao Chunxi, I am your mother-in-law. You are dressed like this, but you only give me vegetable porridge. Do you believe me, I will go to Jingzhao Prefecture to sue you for being unfilial?"
Mrs. Mo was really angry and called Chunxi's name directly.
Chunxi was not angry, but looked innocent: "Where did you get that from, mother-in-law? How dare a daughter-in-law be unfilial? It's just that mother-in-law is still ill, and her diet should be light. I am doing this for her health."
"You're talking nonsense! I think you're just trying to harass me. Come with me to Jingzhao Prefecture and explain everything."
As Madam Mo spoke, she reached out to grab Chunxi. At this moment, Mo Yunwan arrived. She clearly saw that it was Madam Mo who was pulling Chunxi, but she shouted, "Cousin, my aunt is not in good health. How could you hit her?"
Mo Yunwan said this as she stepped forward and hugged Chunxi. Seeing this, Mo was about to slap Chunxi twice to vent her anger, but just as she raised her hand, Mo Yunwan was kicked over by Chunxi.
Chunxi turned her head to look at Madam Mo, her eyes cold and expressionless: "Why, mother wants to hit me?"
Mrs. Mo's hands froze in the air. She said weakly, "You were the first to attack me. Everyone saw it."
Mo Yunwan even lay on the ground and pretended to be pitiful: "Cousin, you have always been tough. You even dared to chop the old lady with a kitchen knife before. How could my aunt and I dare to provoke you? Now that my aunt has handed the power of the family to you, how can you fight with my aunt?"
As soon as Mo Yunwan finished speaking, Shen Qingyu arrived with his men.
Seeing Mo Yunwan lying on the ground with her palms slightly scraped, she felt distressed: "Wan'er, what's wrong with you? Who hurt you?"
"Sanlang, I'm fine. Go check on your aunt."
Mo Yunwan spoke softly, and although she did not directly point out Chunxi, it was enough to make Shen Qingyu associate everything with Chunxi.
Shen Qingyu immediately rushed towards Chunxi. Chunxi did not hide, but kicked his legs and moved his wrists.
Shen Qingyu's ribs had barely healed, and he had barely eaten in the past few days in order to force Madam Mo to agree to let him marry Mo Yunwan. Seeing Chunxi's attitude, he swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue. But he was afraid that Mo Yunwan would look down on him, so he could only say, "Just wait. When my second brother comes back from the academy, I will tell him everything you did in the mansion. You'll be in big trouble then!"
After saying this, Shen Qingyu picked up Mo Yunwan and strode away.
Watching her son only caring about beauty and ignoring herself, Mrs. Mo was angry and heartbroken, but she only had Aunt Jia by her side and was no match for Chunxi at all, so she could only leave in disgrace.
His ears quieted down, Chunxi suppressed his arrogance, and raised his eyebrows when he thought of Mo Yunwan's expression just now.
It's not a good idea for this person to continue living in the Marquis' Mansion. It seems that she has to find time to visit the Mo family.
Thinking about it in her mind, Chunxi got on the carriage and went to the Wei family.
Yun knew that Xiao Qinghe needed to recuperate after losing her child, so she took over the affairs of the mansion again these days and did not allow anyone to disturb Xiao Qinghe with trivial matters. Wei Lingze went to Yunshan Temple, and Xiao Qinghe suddenly became free. He stayed in Lingfeng Courtyard and did not go out. He was visibly losing weight.
Xiao Qinghe was very surprised to hear the doorman say Chunxi was here. She forced herself to cheer up and told the doorman to bring Chunxi to Lingfeng Courtyard, but she heard the doorman say, "Madam Shen said she won't be coming in. She has something she wants your help with, and she asked you to accompany her."
After all, Chunxi helped Xiao Qinghe vent her anger that day at the Taifu Mansion. Although Xiao Qinghe sent someone a hundred gold as a thank-you gift, Chunxi came to ask for help, so she still had to repay the favor.
Xiao Qinghe asked Quezhi to help her change her clothes, put on some simple makeup to cover up her haggard face, and then walked out.
"My niece, you're finally here. I missed you so much."
As soon as they met, Chunxi gave Xiao Qinghe a big hug.
Chunxi spoke in a cheerful tone and had a bright smile on her face. She was full of energy, as if she had endless energy. Xiao Qinghe was infected by her and felt a little better.
After Chunxi stepped back, Xiao Qinghe discovered that the ornaments on Chunxi's head and body looked familiar, and they were all from the Xiao family.
After a little thought, Xiao Qinghe guessed that this was a thank-you gift from his mother to Chunxi.
After Quezhi returned from the Xiao family, she immediately wrote a letter to comfort her mother and told her not to worry about her. Her mother's reply was only a few words. She thought her mother was disappointed in her and didn't want to care about her anymore, but she didn't expect that her mother secretly thanked Chunxi and loved her in such a subtle way.
Xiao Qinghe felt her eyes burning, and Quezhi immediately asked nervously, "Madam, are you okay?"
Xiao Qinghe was speechless and could only shake her head. Chunxi put her arm around her shoulders and said briskly, "My niece is fine. What could happen? The weather is nice today. Let's go eat something first."
The carriage Xiao Qinghe was riding in was much better than the one Chunxi was riding in. She was not at all shy and squeezed into Xiao Qinghe's carriage.
Xiao Qinghe quickly calmed down and asked, "Auntie, why did you suddenly come to ask for help? What difficulties did you encounter?"
"It's not a difficult matter. I just recently took over some shops from my mother-in-law, and I don't know what business to start that will make money. I'd like to ask my eldest niece for some advice."
Xiao Qinghe pursed her lips and said, "Among the classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants have always been the most looked down upon. Even the truly powerful families with a solid foundation would not make money by doing business. Besides, now that Uncle Shen has entered the Censorate, it would not be good for my aunt to do business in a high-profile manner. It would be better for her to buy land or a farm."
Chunxi nodded in agreement. "What my niece said is absolutely right, but I don't know how to choose a place and a farm. It's better to do it today than to wait for a good day. Why don't we go outside the city and take a look?"
Chunxi was very good at climbing up the pole, and Quezhi frowned and wanted to refuse.
The young lady was already in a bad mood, and being able to go out was already a great honor to Madam Shen. Madam Shen actually wanted the young lady to help look after the land and the farm. Was she relying on the young lady?
"you……"
Quezhi had just said a word when she was interrupted by Xiao Qinghe: "Okay, I'll go with my aunt to see it."
As soon as Xiao Qinghe and Chunxi left, Xingzhou immediately sent a pigeon to Yunshan Temple. The Yun family was also very surprised by the news.
How did He'er get involved with Cao Chunxi?
