C121 Initial Probing into Wang's Waiwei

Xu Mingwei nodded, and laughed along with her, "A few days ago I heard that you were sick, and I wanted to come visit you, but I was so busy that I forgot about it when I was dragged back home, it was actually my bad. Now that you have regained your spirit, I can't help but feel happy for you in my heart. When I go back, I should add my clothes in time. It's better to be more on guard. "

Fu Ninghui thanked her for her concern and went back and forth. Anyone who looked at them would feel that the relationship between the two was very harmonious.

Mrs Wang was busy sharpening her second daughter-in-law. Suddenly, she heard their voices and laughed, "Your eldest sister-in-law is still right. You can't go along with your temper and have a headache later. You'll always feel good about it!"

He turned around and asked Xu Mingwei, "I heard that your mother sent someone over again? However, there was a certain amount of manpower expenditure in this company. The people from your family up front, the three rooms from the second branch, already had some opinions on it. Mother told you, in the end, it was your mother who sent this. It's not good to slap your face and send it out, so it involves the accounts in your house. Now that they sent someone here, I'm afraid your Third Aunt and your Aunt Second Aunt have something to say to them again. "You also know that this is a big business. Although a few months of money is a small amount, the people's hearts are unsettled. After a long time, there will always be trouble."

Xu Mingwei was slightly surprised in her heart. It had only been two hours, yet the Wang Clan already knew about everything that had happened in her courtyard. Furthermore, they did not intend to hide anything from her. She had already figured out a few ways to get to the Lady Zhan after visiting them for the past few days.

An old mother-in-law like Lady Wang, who had a strong desire for control, was a person of great face. The worst thing was to contradict her in front of her. Just take Fu Ming's wife, Lady Zhan for example. Lady Wang despised her because her family background was bad, and because she was lacking in education, she disliked Lady Zhan in every way. If Lady Zhan was a sweet talker, she would be willing to coax her and not lose her way with her wife. However, Lady Zhan's guts were short, even if she endured her anger and refused to talk back with Lady Wang, she would still show some unwillingness in her eyes. After letting Lady Wang see how angry she was, she wanted to torment Lady Zhan more and more so that she could force her to admit defeat. This was similar to the situation the Lady Ji in her family was in. It was the same words Old Lady Xu said, but it was as if she had suffered a great grievance and was bashful to accept. However, the Lady Liang was different, she could always coax the Old Lady Xu to be beaming. At that time, he was going to punish her, so after that, he gently put her aside and didn't pursue the matter.

Lady Wang was too lazy to turn around and directly cut to the main topic, she clearly did not put Xu Mingwei in her eyes, and just thought that she was the same as Lady Zhan, only a puppet in her hands, allowing her to knead and flatten it. If Xu Mingwei didn't understand and recklessly clashed with her, Lady Zhan's situation in the Fu family would be her portrayal tomorrow.

Fu Ninghui naturally knew her mother's personality, the chopsticks in her hand paused for a bit, and then she picked up the dish as usual, as if he didn't hear their conversation.

It wasn't that Xu Mingwei didn't see the Lady Helan overseeing the house. There was a certain number of people serving in every yard in the house. Furthermore, the number of people in the yard of a junior could not possibly exceed the number of people serving in the courtyard of a senior. How many people would a bride bring when she marries? Usually, her parents would have already asked about the situation of her parents' home so as not to cause any disrespect.

When Xu Mingwei left, Lady Helan had given her a total of four rooms to serve big girls. Two of them were prepared to serve her, the two little girls and two of her wives, adding the Old Lai family, there were only nine servants in total. Compared to the other families, it wasn't much. Besides, all of the servants in the house that Fu Heng served earlier had all been transferred to another house.

Thus, the number of people did not exceed the standard, but in the Wang Clan's mouth, they became targets of hatred for the Second Branch and the three rooms. She even wanted her to use a favor to drag the courtyard's accounts to "flatten" the accounts of Xu Mingwei and Fu Heng's Courtyard... What Lady Wang said was so true that it was likely that even she herself would believe it …

Xu Mingwei, however, did not believe it.

But teaching her to open her mouth and argue with Lady Wang? That's what idiots do. As a result, she only looked up at Lady Wang innocently, and said with a hint of unease, "My daughter-in-law didn't know that Mother had done so much for me. We couldn't even think properly about it, and now we have to trouble Mother to worry about it. It really is my daughter-in-law's unfilial son."

Lady Wang saw that she was well-behaved, so she narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and smiled, "Those few months of money wasn't difficult to make. Mother was afraid that you would be too preoccupied with your worries, so she didn't bring it up with you two."

Xu Mingwei said gently, "Since there are so many servants in the house, Mother, do you want to send a few back another day? It is enough for me to have Wan Rong and Bi Tao to wait on me in the room, so you want to send me and Wan Yi back to my parents' home? The two girls prepared for Hubby had yet to show their faces, but they couldn't be sent back. Hubby seems to like them both … "

Xu Mingwei had not even finished speaking, when Lady Wang immediately stopped her, cursing her in her heart, what a fool, how could a mother's wife and family go back so easily? Wasn't this the same as telling the entire capital to laugh at the Fu Family for not being able to support them? When she thought about it again, she felt that Xu Mingwei was sensible and that she would only retire to her own room to serve him, she did not think about the two concubine girls that Lady Helan had given him, and was actually a wise man.

As Lady Wang read this, she smiled and comforted her, "Silly child, where did you get to be like this?" Mother said these words for you today, but it's not to say that she wanted you to dismiss her. In the end, there are no lack of servants in the house. A man has been working outside for an entire day and when he comes back, he would not even need a hot handkerchief.

Xu Mingwei acted as though she was at a loss, and worriedly said, "But we can't just keep asking Mom to patch things up, can we?

Mrs Wang acted a little angry as she said, "What are you saying? Do you think our family won't have face if word of this is spread?"

But in her heart, she was satisfied. She also knew that she had to use the dowry money to make her happy. Compared to her second daughter-in-law, she was much more filial and considerate. Lady Wang tried hard enough, and only then did Xu Mingwei's worries disappear. Laughing, she said, "Mother only said it like that, the overall amount of money does not even amount to more than a few coins, and it is also worth the envious Second Branch three rooms! In the future, you must know that we are the only ones who have the same heart in our family.

After listening to her talk for a long time, Xu Mingwei finally got to the main topic at hand. He felt relieved and smiled sweetly, "Mother, my daughter-in-law understands."

Mrs Wang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Let's eat. The food is getting cold."

It was only then that Xu Mingwei realized that Fu Ninghui, who was at the side, had long since stopped her daze. No one knew what she was thinking, but her face revealed some disappointment. She was laughing in her heart. How could she think that she could fall through such a small number of paths? In the end, she was still a playmate from when she was young. It seemed she had underestimated him.

Fu Ninghui sensed her gaze and immediately raised her head, her expression slightly startled, and then immediately recovered back to normal. She smiled at Xu Mingwei, picked up a piece of fish and placed it into her bowl, then laughed: Sister-in-law, today, this fish meat is done extremely well, do you want to try it too?

Xu Mingwei accepted it with a smile, then returned the favor. She also picked up a river shrimp and placed it in Fu Ninghui's bowl, "This taste is pretty fresh for me, try it yourself."

The two of them smiled at each other, their eyes warm. However, only the heavens knew what kind of thoughts they had.

Coming out from Wang Han's courtyard, Xu Mingwei felt extremely tired, thinking that in the future, for a long period of time, he would have to hide her true intentions, and when facing other people, she would not be able to live to see the light of day.

Seeing that she had come back from the other side, Wan Rong smiled as he came forward to take her robes off. This time, Bi Tao was quite quick-witted, and immediately helped to pass the family's wide robes to Xu Mingwei to change. Wan Rou brought over a cup of Seafood Stewed Pork Soup, a shallow and shallow soup, and ingeniously added a few medlar. The snow-white winter bamboo shoots reflected the soup, and the color, smell, and taste filled up the first part of the word "color".

"First, grandma will take a sip of the soup to moisten her appetite. Then, the millet congee that follows will be ready soon as well." Wan Rou advised as she handed over the handkerchief to wipe her hands.

Everyone in the room knew that she couldn't eat well over there, and since there was no stove in the house, they started a fire in the backyard with a small stove for making medicine. They didn't cook or fry, and there wasn't much fat smoke to be got out, only thin porridge to make some nourishment to nourish their bodies.

Xu Mingwei looked at the winter bamboo shoot slices in the soup and asked curiously, "Why are there still winter bamboo shoots at this time of the year?"

Wan Rou laughed, "Master Fang brought them from home, a total of only brought two, and there is no ice cellar in this house. Madam said that they won't be able to store them even if you give them away, so grandmother can have a taste."

Xu Mingwei nodded, she did not bother to ask the Lady Helan if there was anything else she could give to the Wang family, she lowered her head and started to drink the soup. Just after taking a sip, she sensed that something was wrong and asked, "Is it the Nanny Xu?"

Wan Rong laughed, "Indeed, I can't hide the truth from grandmother's extremely didactic tongue. The Nanny Xu came with the Master Fang, so she was not a very important person. As a result, she did not show her face in front of Grandma. Tonight, she personally made the soup herself, so her cooking skills were much better than Wan Rou's.

Xu Mingwei laughed and said, "All of you think of this Fish Wing Abalones in the soup as a treasure, but what you really eat is this winter bamboo shoot, using a pot of fresh flavor to complement it, with this ability, it would truly be a waste of your talent to be the medicine furnace manager in my room."

When and the others were talking, they suddenly heard Fu Heng asking from afar, "What are you guys talking about, I heard you guys laughing before we even entered the door?"

As he said that, he turned to the door and sniffed the air. He then asked curiously, "What's behind the stew? Why is it so fragrant?"
