Xu Mingwei agreed repeatedly and sent him out the door. She reckoned that Master Fang would probably wake up and finish his breakfast at this time as well, so she let Wan Rong and the others lead the way towards the backyard.
Master Fang's residence was not far from Xu Mingwei's and the others' courtyard. Even though it was arranged in the rear courtyard, it was not adjacent to Fu Heng's rooms. The small one was a bit smaller, not comparable to the extravagant display and usage of the Xu Family. It had been cleaned quite cleanly, and there were even many green bamboo plants planted in the backyard. It was possible that in the future, there would be a zither set up here.
Xu Mingwei looked outside, her heart was already at ease, but there was a message inside. A little girl was already standing at the entrance of the courtyard waiting for him, smiling happily as she led the people inside, while chattering non-stop, like an oriole bird, gave a lot of vitality to the quiet courtyard.
"I knew you were coming. I've been waiting for you." Seeing Xu Mingwei, the Master Fang smiled and invited her to sit.
Xu Mingwei was naturally the first to ask her how she was doing in the Fu Clan, but she felt apologetic when he opened her mouth and said, "I have wronged Mister, in this place, I am much more nervous than when I live at home."
The Master Fang shook his head and said, "Since he sold himself, he should have gone to the shared house. If you were to say more, I wouldn't dare to say such words."
After Xu Mingwei heard this, she also laughed, "I will listen to Sir, and will not bring it up again."
As he said that, he looked at Wan Rong, and it seemed as if he suddenly remembered something, and Xu Mingwei said, "Wan Rong, I forgot to look for you at the side hall for your homework again, so you should run over and bring it over for me."
Wan Rong looked at her, and guessed that she was going to send him away for some reason. She smiled and pulled Xiao Tao, who was in Master Fang's room, and said, "It's boring if I go by myself, Sister Xiao Tao also went with me. When we came out, Nanny Xu was just about to steam the rice cake.
Xiao Tao was immediately moved by her words. The two of them walked out one after another. Master Fang closed the door and turned around to ask, "Yesterday you were hesitating and made me worry for the entire night.
Only then did Xu Mingwei explain in detail to her about Lv Zhu.
The Master Fang said, "Even if there is such a person in this world, just trip her up. She won't get any benefits herself, so just let her be happy in her heart. "It would be easy to deal with those who are taking advantage of others, but they are the most troublesome to deal with. They are like venomous snakes. They will come out and bite you at any time, whether they are cautious or not."
Xu Mingwei said, "Although this student is suspicious of her, she has just arrived. The people from the Fu family's second house and three rooms are also not clear about her, maybe this has nothing to do with her. After all, they haven't found any concrete evidence yet."
The Master Fang nodded, "It's also good to have such thoughts. However, since you do not trust her completely, you should always keep an eye on his. It's better to keep an eye on his quickly.
Master Fang still had something he did not say, but it still came from Fu Heng's backyard, the Second Branch three rooms's people, would it not be that easy for them to collude with him? It was most likely Fu Ninghui who instigated all of this from behind the scenes. That child was someone she had met once before, someone who looked extremely fitting and fitting for her, but now, she had turned out like this.
"Since she has been in contact with Qing Mei, there must be some clues that can be found." "I'll take a look for you later. This courtyard is well-chosen. You can see everything clearly from the entrance and exit." The Master Fang said.
Xu Mingwei shook her head, "My mother sent Teacher here to be raised, so she doesn't have to spend too much time and effort on such small matters. With these two lives in front of them, it was likely that they wouldn't dare to move for a while and would stay in seclusion for a few days. I will investigate it myself. Furthermore, it is only a small shared house, and is not even a concubine. The body contract is still in my mother's hands, she will not be able to find anything. "
The Master Fang did not say anything, but Xu Mingwei knew that she was stubborn, and it was hard to say whether or not she had an idea, so she could only give up. After hesitating for a moment, she finally could not resist speaking out the doubts in her heart that she had suppressed for a long time.
"You mean you smelled something in the house, but it wasn't incense?" Master Fang was a little surprised, he did not think that Xu Mingwei made a big fuss out of nothing. On the contrary, he asked her with great importance, "Lv Zhu died suddenly, since you felt that something was wrong, you must have some doubts in your heart. Have you smelled that on anyone before? "
Xu Mingwei shook her head. The smell was not like ordinary smoked clothes. She had searched through it once, but no one seemed to fit the description.
"If it's not on the clothes, then whose house did you smell it in?" The Master Fang asked again.
Xu Mingwei still shook her head, seeing Master Fang's expression, she laughed: "I also thought about it many times, and when I thought about it later, I always felt that it was just my imagination. This sort of thing isn't something that can be recalled just by thinking about it. Maybe one day, it would suddenly match up with someone else. "
That was the only way. Just then, Xiao Tao and Wan Rong returned with rice cakes in their hands. Seeing their expressions, Wan Rong knew that they had said what they wanted to say, so she relaxed and brewed some hot tea to go with the rice cake. Xiao Tao was the only one in the room who was unaware of it. He was focused on praising Nanny Xu's craftsmanship and urging him to try the dish while it was still warm. When Master Fang heard this, he felt a headache coming on, causing Xu Mingwei to laugh in her heart. It turned out that if he wanted to cure her husband, just a few words would be enough.
Xu Mingwei spent the majority of the morning in the Master Fang's room. When it was about time, Lady Wang's wife actually came to look for him, but refused to say what she wanted. She could only smile and invite her over.
The Master Fang said, "Since your mother-in-law has come looking for you, then so be it."
He stood up and sent them out with a smile. Even from a distance, the woman kept looking back, sighing over and over again, "In the end, you're from a family that's been stained with ink. Even their smiles are different from other people's."
Wan Rong then laughed, and intentionally teased her, "This slave does not know what difference does it have from other people's laughing style.
That woman spat at her, "Who wouldn't know? You little girl, you're laughing at this old servant from behind my back! The old servant did not recognize these words, but they belonged to someone who recognized them. This old lady of the Eldest Young Lady family is gentle and refined, you can tell at a glance that she's a cultured person. "
When Xu Mingwei heard the word old lady, she felt that it was harsh, so he did not bother about her anymore. Luckily, as they talked along the way, they arrived at Lady Wang's courtyard in the blink of an eye. In order to enter, besides Lady Wang, the second house's Lady Jiao s and three rooms's Mayer's disease s were also present. A few of the juniors' wives all stood below with serious expressions. The atmosphere was heavy, and it was unknown what had happened.
Just as she was secretly calculating in her heart, Lady Wang smiled and waved at her. It didn't seem to be bad news, and it had something to do with her. Xu Mingwei's heart became calmer. She obediently walked to Wang Shi's side and greeted respectfully, then asked softly, "Mother, do you have any instructions for calling your daughter-in-law here?"
The wives of the second wife and three rooms looked at her in envy and jealousy. How could such a perfect daughter-in-law be so lucky?
Seeing Xu Mingwei being so respectful and docile in front of everyone, Lady Wang nodded her head in satisfaction, "I didn't call you here for anything else. Look at this, this is a letter your mother brought you.
Xu Mingwei took the invitation and looked at it, it did mention that Xu Mingmei was already pregnant, and couldn't help but be happy for her, and joyously said: "Sister Mei is so lucky, Mother, can your daughter-in-law come to the prince's house to see you? "My parents said that they were going to pack up Cheng Yi to congratulate us the day after tomorrow."
Mrs Wang patted her hand, and smiled as she narrowed her eyes, "Good child, your aunts are here for this as well. You don't have to worry about Cheng Yi, he'll handle it." For such a joyous matter, if one more person goes to congratulate them, that would be a bit more joyful. When you return and speak with your mother, we, your wives, will definitely go to the Prince's Mansion together with you on a free ride. "
Xu Mingwei was startled. Everyone from the Fu Clan was there? But after thinking about how the Lady Helan had sent such an open invitation, she had already predicted that there would be such a situation, so she should not be in a rush. As a result, while she was still in a daze, she quickly adjusted her speed, and instead put on a happy expression, saying obediently, "It would be better if mother and aunts went together."
Mrs Wang nodded her head in satisfaction, and let the wife carry a small wooden box over, indicating that Wan Rong should take it, then said: "Your Sixth Sister is blessed, you should also learn from her. After your birthday, you should prepare what needs to be prepared. This is all the oil that the Forest Frog we caught in our own manor sucked, take it back and explain it to that woman of yours. Just steam it in the water, there are still some black membranes inside that need to be cleaned, don't be lazy to fool you. "
Xu Mingwei thanked her and smiled in his heart. She really didn't forget to remind her at all times that she was very clear on what they were doing in their courtyard.
Xu Mingwei returned to the courtyard silently. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, she left some hot tea for her before returning to the backyard. She casually gave the Snow Toad that was rewarded by the Wang family to Nanny Xu, and just as she was about to say something, Nanny Xu cried out in surprise. Wan Rong saw that her expression was strange and asked: "But what's wrong with the thing?"
The Nanny Xu shook her head, "The frog oil is not bad. This old servant was just curious how our family didn't take the goods carefully, so why would we take them? Although the Snow Toad is expensive, we are not the kind of family that cannot afford it. Usually, we take it for granted, but don't just take it out from the steward, and fool our master, right? "
