Chapter 256 Real amnesia or false amnesia?
Yun rushed to the Xiao family and took Wei Lingze home.
But Wei Lingze seemed to have truly forgotten that he had been paralyzed for three years, nor did he remember how many bad things he had done to Xiao Qinghe during this period. He only wanted to let Xiao Qinghe know how much he liked her. He would send some strange little gadgets every day, and even if he couldn't see Xiao Qinghe, he would sit in Xiao's house for a whole day.
"Grandma, why did you let Wei Lingze in? And you also asked the servants to deliver those things to my sister? What if my sister softened her heart?"
Early in the morning, when Xiao Qingyue heard that Wei Lingze had come home again, she couldn't help but run to Songheyuan to find Old Madam Xiao.
It snowed last night and everything was covered in white today. Xiao Qingyue didn't have an umbrella, so a lot of snow fell on her head and body.
Madam Xiao twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand and said lightly: "Warm up by the fire first, don't let the cold air enter your body."
"grandmother……"
Xiao Qingyue wanted to say something when the door curtain was lifted and Xiao Qinghe walked in. Xiao Qingyue quickly fell silent.
The weather was cold, and Xiao Qinghe wore a snow-white rabbit fur cape and held a small hand warmer. Seeing Xiao Qingyue in the room, she smiled and joked, "At this time of year, shouldn't my sister sleep until noon? Why are you here earlier than me today?"
As he spoke, Xiao Qinghe took off his cloak and handed it to the maid serving in the room. He then walked over to the brazier to dispel the coldness from his body before sitting down next to the old lady.
Xiao Qingyue didn't dare mention Wei Lingze in front of Xiao Qinghe, and could only say vaguely: "Sister, I'm not that lazy. I can still get up to pay my respects to Grandma."
After Xiao Qinghe sat down, a servant immediately brought her pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Seeing that she wanted to copy Buddhist scriptures, Xiao Qingyue hurried over to help grind the ink.
Xiao Qinghe spread out the paper, found the place where he had copied yesterday, and continued copying.
Xiao Qingyue felt a little uncomfortable at first, but when she saw that her elder sister was neither arrogant nor impatient, and was as calm as water, she slowly calmed down.
Although my sister looks docile, she is actually very opinionated and once she makes a decision, she will not change it.
When Wei Lingze returned seriously injured, my mother wanted to cancel the engagement, but my sister went against her mother's wishes and knelt in the ancestral hall, refusing to eat or drink and refusing to speak.
My mother scolded my elder sister and even slapped her. She was so scared that she cried, but my elder sister didn't cry.
No one, inside or outside, is optimistic about this marriage anymore.
Some people say that my sister is stupid. For the sake of so-called love, she is willing to waste her time on a person who can never stand up again. Others accuse my sister of being hypocritical. She has been dragging her feet and refusing to hold the wedding just to force the Wei family to cancel the engagement.
The year when Wei Lingze took Chunxi to attend banquets everywhere in a wheelchair, there were even more rumors like this. She was so angry that she cried several times, but her elder sister remained calm and persistent.
She thought that the rumors at the beginning did not make her sister retreat, and what Wei Lingze did now was not enough to shake her sister.
Xiao Qinghe copied Buddhist scriptures for a whole hour before finishing.
After putting down the pen, she couldn't help rubbing her sore wrist.
At this time, a servant came to report: "The son-in-law is still sitting in the front hall. Does the eldest lady want to go and see him today?"
"No, let him sit."
Xiao Qinghe answered without hesitation.
Xiao Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, but inexplicably felt a sense of suffocation in her heart.
Ajie was sincere to Wei Lingze. Although she didn't stay by his side in person for those three years, she copied countless scriptures for him and prayed to all the gods and Buddhas. Why couldn't Wei Lingze cherish his sister? Why did he have to make such a fuss before begging her to come back?
Xiao Qinghe didn't have the same hesitation as Xiao Qingyue. After copying the Buddhist scriptures, she rested for a while, then took the incense burner and began to mix the incense. Xiao Qingyue never had much patience for doing these things. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the servant come to announce: "Old Madam, Madam Shen is here."
Is my aunt here?
Xiao Qingyue's eyes lit up and she suddenly didn't want to leave.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside the door. The door curtain was lifted, and Chunxi's smiling face appeared in front of them: "Oh, He'er and Yue'er are here, I missed you so much."
Chunxi spoke in a cheerful tone. Although she looked a little cold, she was actually warm and lively. As soon as she came in, the whole room became lively.
Xiao Qingyue's lips curled up unconsciously, and she couldn't help but mutter, "If Auntie really missed us, she should have come to see us earlier. Why would she have to wait until every time she saw us to say such polite words?"
Chunxi's eyes curved: "So Yue'er misses me too. Then you can write to invite me in the future. I will come to see you as soon as I receive the letter. How about that?"
Xiao Qingyue didn't want to admit that she missed Chunxi, but she was afraid that if she denied it, Chunxi would really not come, so she could only puff out her cheeks and keep silent.
Chunxi didn't dwell on the topic. She walked up to Old Madam Xiao and said, "On my way here, I saw someone selling fresh mutton on the street. I picked out the best parts and bought some. Let's have mutton hotpot with my aunt at noon. The dipping sauce I made is delicious."
Chunxi always brought some homemade snacks every time she came. She had already figured out Old Madam Xiao's eating habits. Old Madam Xiao loved to eat mutton.
There was a small kitchen in Songheyuan. Chunxi didn't hesitate at all. After getting permission from Mrs. Xiao, she immediately had someone prepare it.
It is not uncommon to eat mutton hotpot in winter, but after Chunxi's arrangements, Xiao Qingyue subconsciously felt that this mutton hotpot would be particularly delicious, and could not help asking Chunxi how the exclusive dipping sauce was made.
Chunxi did not hide anything and spoke out in detail. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious when a servant came hurriedly: "Madam, the son-in-law suddenly fainted."
Madam Xiao asked calmly, "What's going on?"
"My son-in-law's injuries haven't healed yet. Although there's charcoal burning in the front hall, it's much colder than inside the house. He's been sitting on the bench for days, and now he has a high fever. The steward has already sent someone to Huichun Hall to get a doctor, and has also notified the Wei family."
The servant's tone was a little anxious, but Xiao Qinghe didn't react after hearing it, so Madam Xiao asked the man to leave.
Xiao Qingyue frowned and couldn't help complaining, "The Wei family knew he was injured, but they still let him come to our house every day. Aren't they just waiting for him to fall ill so they can blame us?"
Chunxi only realized at this moment that the "son-in-law" the servants were talking about was Wei Lingze. She was a little curious: "Wei Lingze still has the nerve to bother He'er now?"
"A normal person wouldn't have the nerve to come here, but he's lost his memory now, and he comes here every day like nothing's wrong. Even if we don't let him see my sister, he can sit in our house all day."
Xiao Qingyue curled her lips, feeling that Wei Lingze was now like a scoundrel, extremely shameless.
Amnesia?
Chunxi raised her eyebrows. This was a really good excuse.
Chunxi thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Qinghe and asked, "He'er, do you think he really has lost his memory or is he faking it?"
Xiao Qingyue widened her eyes.
Fake amnesia? That's too shameless!
Xiao Qinghe's eyes flickered slightly, and he said truthfully, "I'm not sure if this is true, but he has lost his memory at a very good time."
