Qin family of 13
"The second young lady has arrived." The maid lifted the curtain and Qing Luan walked in.
Beyond the screen, entering the side hall, only to see the old lady leaning on the arhat bed, while Wei Qingyu held a beauty mallet and was tapping the old lady's legs, Li Shi stood smiling beside them. Qing Luan couldn't help but glance at Wei Xiner, knowing that usually it was her place.
But Wei Xiner's expression was calm and peaceful, with a smile on her face, as if she didn't care that her position had been taken at all. Qing Luan slightly sneered, thinking that she had underestimated Wei Xiner, who was just a rural woman from a humble family, yet had won the old lady's appreciation, how could she be so calm and composed?
"Grandma is well, Second Aunt is well." Qing Luan stepped forward and paid respects to the two elders.
"Get up." The old lady's face was smiling and looked very kind.
Mrs. Li looked at everything with a dark hatred in her heart, feeling that although the old lady seemed impartial, she actually had a high opinion of the first wife and treated Qingluan better than Qingyu and Qingyuan. They all came from the Weiyuan Marquis's household, but because Eldest Brother was the eldest son, he became the Weiyuan Marquis, while her husband only held a minor official position by purchase. After Father-in-law passed away, when the three branches of the family divided the property, she didn't even have the title of Second Wife of the Weiyuan Marquis's household. How could her mind be at peace?
Fortunately, heaven has eyes and let the couple in the big house die an untimely death. It must be that heaven also couldn't bear to look at them anymore.
Li thought for a moment, feeling more balanced in her mind. She took a gift list from the maid's hand and handed it to the old lady, saying: "Mother, you're going to visit the Qin family tomorrow. This is the gift list. Do you need to add anything?"
The old lady took over the gift list, the gifts on the list were very heavy. The Qin family was not like before, Hui Fei was in favor now, and Li Shi would not offend the Qin family no matter what.
The old lady browsed through the list, nodded and said: "This is very good!" For her, the Wei family didn't have anything she could miss, and neither did the Qin family. When the Qin family married her to the Wei family for the sake of solidifying their interests, she had already felt a chill towards her natal family. Now all she asked for was that her second half of life be peaceful and stable.
Mrs. Li saw the old lady's expression was dull, and she felt a little disappointed in her heart, but soon she regained her spirit and smiled: "Mother is going to visit relatives, why not bring Yu'er and several others, it's also good for several maids to recognize Qin's relatives."
Qing Luan slightly curled her lips, so this was Li's purpose, indeed a person who doesn't get up early without profit.
The old lady thought for a moment and then agreed: "Since that's the case, Qing Luan you go too, Xin Er come along as well."
She not only brought her two daughters, but also Wei Qinglan and Wei Xiner. Li was somewhat displeased, but she didn't dare say anything at this time. When they arrived at the Qin's house, they still had to trouble Old Madame to take care of them.
The next morning, Wei Qing was woken up by Xia Zhi. After washing and dressing, she sat in front of the dresser, and Xia Zhi asked: "Miss, what hairpiece will you wear to the Qin's today?"
"Let's just take the hairpiece that old lady gave us!" Qing Luan said. The jewelry given by the old lady to each of them was different, but they were all worth about the same amount, even including San Shu's family, Wei Qingyan. Qing Luan guessed that the old lady must not have wanted to get involved in the struggle between the first and second branches.
But the second house so dignifiedly took her over, and on the third day after the old lady arrived home, the Qin family sent out a notice, it can be seen that even if the old lady wanted to stay out of the matter, it's not that easy.
