After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.
Chapter 284: The Beautiful and Well-behaved Granddaughter-in-law
Mrs. Wen then interrupted and said, "You must have hurried back. Please sit down and talk." After saying that, she looked at Xu Yi casually. She was really beautiful, bold and bright, with cold and calm eyes. She was not like the ordinary girls who were a little nervous and shy when they first met their in-laws. She sat there, looking quiet, but also calm.
It seems that she is not an ordinary woman, and she has a good temperament.
Wen Peiji followed the instructions and sat down next to Xu Yi. He took the tea handed to him by the servant and then answered the old lady, "Lord Yao is investigating this matter now, and there is no result yet."
The old lady sat upright on it and nodded when she heard it, "You have to pay more attention to this matter and move around more often. Now that you have a family, you can't just go out early and come back late to socialize and do business like before, do you understand?" The old lady thought, this granddaughter-in-law is not from Shengjing, she must have some skills to run a pleasure boat, but she doesn't have any connections in this city. Although the current Jingzhao prefect is a diligent, honest and impartial person, there are so many lawsuits on the desk in Jingzhao Prefecture, so it would be better to move around more.
Wen Peiji nodded and said hello.
After finishing the business, the old lady looked at Xu Yi. Her serious face was now full of loving smiles. She waved her hand, "Girl, come here and let grandma see you..." She called "girl" with a smile on her face. She didn't look serious at all. She looked like a little girl who had secretly eaten dessert. She tilted her head and waved her hand, "Come here."
Xu Yi stood up and walked over, kneeling slightly, "Old Madam."
"Why are you still calling me old lady? It's so formal!" The old lady took her hand and pulled her to sit beside her. She looked at this extremely beautiful granddaughter-in-law and was more and more satisfied. "Just call me grandma. Pei Ji is such a fool. He should have brought you back earlier. Living on a pleasure boat is not as comfortable as living at home... I came back last night and there was not much time. Let the servants tidy up today. Replace what needs to be replaced with new ones and buy what needs to be bought. This is your home after all, so don't be polite."
Who doesn't like a beautiful girl? I was originally just worried that my stepmother might dislike Zhuozhuo. Now, she is my biological daughter. What could be a better result than this?
"Yes, thank you for your concern, grandma." Xu Yi responded with a smile and lowered her eyebrows. She changed her address as requested by the old lady and did not explain that she was only staying here for a while.
The old lady talked to Xu Yi for a long time, and most of the topics revolved around Zhuozhuo and Wen Qian. She only occasionally mentioned the elders in the other party's family. When she heard that she had lost her father and mother since she was a child, this topic was never mentioned again. Her eyes became more distressed. She took off the bracelet on her wrist and put it on her hand without saying anything. She patted the back of Xu Yi's hand without giving her permission, and comforted her, "It's not a valuable treasure, just a small thing that I wear for fun every day. Keep it!"
The little gadgets that the old lady of the Wen family wears and plays with are probably all treasures.
It seems I can only return it to Wen Peiji later.
Although this guy said a lot of inexplicable things last night, which were really touching, but... it's not easy for the Wen family to get to where they are now. There's really no need to ruin the foundation of all these years because of the grudges and old things she has to bear. I heard that the man has already been the prime minister. If the Wen family goes against him, I'm afraid they won't have any chance of winning. Things are not as simple as Wen Peiji said. She knows that Zhuozhuo is fine now, so she should leave after the things here are done. From now on, she will stay away from him and just hope that the little guy will be healthy and well.
Having made up her mind, Xu Yi smiled warmly, stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, and thanked her softly, "Thank you, grandma."
Pretty and well-behaved, the granddaughter-in-law really liked her more and more. She nodded frequently, patted the back of her hand and said, "You still have some blue eyes. You went to bed very late last night. You didn't get enough rest in a strange place, did you? Don't keep talking to the old woman. Go back and have some sleep..."
"Junior is fine..."
"It's okay. We don't have so many rules in our house. We don't have to get up at a certain time, and there is no requirement to visit the deceased every morning and evening." Madam Wen also said, "Just follow your own habits. You will know after living here for a few days. Go, Pei Ji, take your wife and son back. Let the servants clean up the yard. I will not interfere with these matters. You can do as you like."
"Yes." Wen Peiji stood up and nodded, then left with Xu Yi and Zhuo Zhuo who were standing up to say goodbye.
……
Early in the morning of this day, the commander, who had not attended court for a long time, personally escorted a prisoner to the Jingzhao Prefecture's prison. It was said that the prisoner was a doctor who ran a small clinic in a deep alley. As for why he was in trouble, there were many different opinions and no definite news.
Some said that it was because of the sale of fake medicine that Song Wenyuan's injuries had not healed yet. Some said that this small clinic had originally been selling fake medicine, and was busted by the police uniformed guards along with the people and their den. Others said that Doctor Zhang set fire to the pleasure boat outside the city, and the third young master's wife was staying in the pleasure boat at that time, and she almost died. Naturally, Song Wenyuan was angry.
In short, there is anything to say.
The news spread quickly, and Dr. Zhang's old customers rushed to tell each other. When the news reached a courtyard in the Kejing Marquis's mansion, the face of the still charming woman suddenly turned pale, "How could it be? Then, then my prescription..."
The maid pursed her lips and was silent for a moment before she said, "I heard from the concierge that when the Lingyan Lake pleasure boat caught fire last night, the Third Young Master did indeed leave in a hurry alone, and it was not until after midnight that he returned home with the Third Young Master's wife... I think, maybe, maybe it was really because of this matter."
"Wen Qian again?" The woman was naturally Aunt An, the only concubine in the Bo's mansion. Upon hearing this, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand and gritted her teeth, "Wen Qian, this damn girl, always ruins my good deeds! I've been taking this medicine for several months, but there's no movement in my stomach... Now the doctor has been arrested, what should I do?"
The maid secretly looked at Aunt An and cautiously said, "How about we just follow the prescription written by Doctor Zhang for a while. If Aunt An is worried, then I will go find another doctor. Doctor Zhang talks a lot of good things about the secret family recipe, but now it seems that he is just a half-baked charlatan!"
Aunt An pondered for a moment. All the women in the inner house were trying their best to have more children to consolidate their status and win more favors. However, she gave birth to a useless boy. The uncle had almost forgotten about this place over the years. On the contrary, the old woman became more and more domineering because she gave birth to a good son.
Finally, he nodded slowly, "That's fine. Just remember to keep a low profile and don't let anyone find out."
"Yes."
