Hey, you are reborn too?
Chapter 140 Unwelcome Cousin
Her marriage had already been arranged by her father and mother at this time?
"Chunmei," Xie Yongwei looked at Chunmei's face in the mirror and smiled gently, "How did you know that my parents had arranged a marriage for me?"
"Hmm..." Chunmei tilted her head and looked upwards, frowning as if she was thinking.
"Hey," Chunmei sighed softly, her eyebrows pressed down, and she looked regretful, mumbling, "Where did I hear this the other day? How come I have forgotten it now?"
"That's impossible," Dong Qing came in from outside with a smile on her face, "Madam and Master have not arranged a marriage for Miss."
Xie Yongwei slightly turned sideways, it seemed that Dong Qing knew a lot.
"Dongqing," Xie Yongwei said with a smile, "From your tone, you sound very sure. Do you know any inside information?"
"Miss, you are too kind. There is no inside information. Today, the master and the mistress are indeed discussing the marriage of a young lady, but it is not yours. It is for a young lady of the right age from the mistress's family."
"Oh," Xie Yongwei raised her eyes, showing rare interest, and smiled quietly, "Which lady is it?"
In her previous life, when Xie Yongwei was as old as she is now, her heart and eyes were full of Jiang Yu. She thought about how to please him every day and had no intention of communicating with other young men and women in the capital. Therefore, she had no idea who in the capital was related to her, and she had no close friends.
In this life, Xie Yongwei decided to build more lines.
It is said that more friends mean more paths. Anyway, the girl from my mother's family is related to me by blood. Instead of ignoring her, I might as well see if I can try to make friends with her. Maybe I can gain a close friend.
"Miss, the one who is going to get married is my cousin Fu Ningning," Dong Qing said with a smile on her face and a happy light in her eyes. "My cousin is at the right age to get married. She is pretty and has a good family background. The master and the mistress have put a lot of thought into finding a suitable husband for her."
"Oh, her parents don't care about her marriage?"
Xie Yongwei looked at herself in the mirror, adjusted her hairpins on her head, and spoke casually.
"Well," Dong Qing frowned, took a step forward, and whispered to Xie Yongwei, "My cousin's parents have been wanting a boy for many years, and they don't care much about my cousin. They haven't found a good marriage for my cousin for a long time, and my lady is anxious, so she took on this job."
Xie Yongwei smiled helplessly. Her mother was indeed a person who could not sit still and loved to meddle in other people's affairs.
"Tell me about it," Xie Yongwei stopped what she was doing and looked sideways at Dong Qing, "How is this cousin feeling? What are her special talents?"
"Well," Dong Qing said with a smile on her face, "I'd better tell you on the way to Medical Immortal Valley."
Xie Yongwei subconsciously looked at the sky outside. It was already dawn and it was getting late.
"Okay, let's talk on the way."
After breakfast, Xie Yongwei made sure that no luggage was forgotten, said goodbye to her parents, and boarded the carriage to Medical Immortal Valley.
Although she had no habit of prying into other people's privacy, Xie Yongwei was still curious about this cousin.
In order to make it easier for her to listen, Xie Yongwei specially took Dong Qing to the carriage and let her sit next to her to tell her about her cousin.
"My cousin is also pitiful," Dong Qing sighed softly, "Before the baby was born, the doctor said it was a boy after checking her pulse. The whole Fu family was very happy and prepared all kinds of things for a boy early on. But when she was born, it turned out to be a girl."
The carriage rolled over the gravel on the road and swayed slightly. The light blue veil on the edge of the window was blown up by the wind, like a dream, like a flashy phantom.
Xie Yongwei blinked slightly and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The Fu family has not had a baby boy for all these years. Dong Qing said that the head of the Fu family has consulted various masters and used various prescriptions, but to no avail.
Later, news came from somewhere that Miss Fu Ningning of the Fu family was born to be unlucky with boys, which resulted in no boys being born in the Fu family over the years.
I don’t know why the head of the Fu family believed this bizarre statement. He immediately found someone and sent Fu Ningning to the country farm overnight, regardless of his wife’s pleading.
But strangely enough, after Fu Ningning was sent away, the two concubines of the Fu family gave birth to sons one after another.
Recently, it was the tenth birthday of the eldest son of the Fu family. Taking advantage of the Fu family master's happiness, Fu Ningning's biological mother asked him to send Fu Ningning back home, so Fu Ningning was able to return to the capital.
Otherwise, Fu Ningning would still be staying in the country farm.
Xie Yongwei didn't say anything. She gently picked up the tea on the table, held the white porcelain cup in her hand, slowly blew away the foam on the top, and took a sip leisurely.
Dongqing said that although Fu Ningning's biological mother was the mistress of the Fu family, she had no say in the family because she only gave birth to this one daughter. Her status was even lower than that of the two concubines who raised sons.
The mistress of the Fu family's family has lost power over the years, and her help to the Fu family is no longer as great as before. She has not been pregnant for a long time, so she is neglected by the master.
Fu Ningning's biological mother's family is in decline, and neither she nor Fu Ningning is favored by the head of the Fu family. No wonder Fu Ningning has not yet settled down despite her old age.
Xie Yongwei pressed her temple lightly, but why is her mother worried about this?
Is she thinking of finding a good marriage for Fu Ningning so that Fu Ningning can be grateful to her in the future?
Xie Yongwei admitted that it was a bit cold-blooded to think so, but after all, she had no actual interaction with this cousin, and her impression of her was limited to the scope of Dong Qing's description.
Listening to Dongqing's statement, she seemed to agree that Fu Ningning was a bad luck charm for men. Moreover, like most people who kept it in their hearts but did not say it out loud, she felt that Fu Ningning was a disaster star who would bring misfortune to the family.
Xie Yongwei thought that it would be biased to only listen to Dong Qing's one-sided story. An indescribable feeling told her that it would be better for her to listen to different people's opinions about this cousin and understand her from all aspects.
"Okay," Xie Yongwei pointed to another unused porcelain cup on the table, a smile spreading across her brows, "Dongqing, you must be thirsty after talking for so long, drink some tea to moisten your throat."
"Miss," Dong Qing shrank back, her eyes slightly widened, her fingers pinching the sleeves of her clothes, looking very cautious, "That is also your cup. Dong Qing is a maid, it is not right for her to touch the master's cup."
"Oh," Xie Yongwei held the handkerchief in her hand and smiled, "Dongqing, you have served me for so many years, you know I hate these false formalities the most, why are you still pretending with me?"
Xie Yongwei personally lifted the teapot and slowly poured tea into another white porcelain cup.
"It's okay, it's just a cup." Xie Yongwei slowly put the teapot back to its original place with a calm smile on her face. "It's just a cup of tea, I can drink it, but you can't?"
"Miss……"
Tears glistened in Holly's eyes.
"I have something to hide about this cousin. Please allow me to tell you."
