Chapter 669 Don't be softhearted
That day, the wife of the Duke of Wei went to the palace.
"Empress." After entering the hall, she bent her knees and rushed to Empress Shu who was sitting in the main seat to bless her blessings.
Concubine Shu glanced at her and smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't have to be too polite." She raised her hand again, "Give her seat."
"Empress Xie." The Duke of Wei sat down on the chair next to him. The palace daughter wearing a pink skirt gave her a cup of tea.
"Why is sister-in-law free to enter the palace today?" Shufei asked looking at her.
"Oh..." The wife of Duke of Wei sighed, "It's not just for the Song family's business that the Empress had just talked to the wife alone last time. She posted a post to the General's Mansion when her wife's birthday was born, but no one from the Song family came. Later, the wife held another flower-welves and specially invited the eldest lady of the Song family, but the eldest lady of the Song family did not come either. The Empress told the wife that her wife would not be able to do it, but the Song family clearly looked down on our Duke of Wei's Mansion, and looked down on us..." Empress, you.
The wife of the Duke of Wei did not say the three words in the latter state, and she just finished speaking some words without saying them all. Although the Empress said that the second prince would need the support of General Zhenbei's Mansion in the future, she did not want to be a relative of Shen at all. If the Empress could annoy the Empress and stop the idea of marrying the Song family, it would be best if she could also rectify Shen.
Concubine Shu's expression changed and she glanced at the Duke of Wei. She was a smart person, so how could she not hear what her sister-in-law meant?
She smiled and said, "I'm afraid she is not looking down on the Duke of Wei's Mansion or the Palace, but her two nephews!"
Speaking of which, although her two nephews are not young, they have no achievements and do not even have a single official position. They are really unpromising. If these two nephews can make a better fortune and can help Ji'er in the future, she will not think about winning over others.
"Song Ziyu didn't study well at such a young age, and she ruined her reputation. What kind of face does the village woman have to dislike my son?" Mrs. Duke Wei's words were gone and she blurted out directly. In her words, she actually meant contempt.
Concubine Shu showed displeasure, and she also understood why Shen did not give face to Duke Wei's mansion twice and twice. Seeing that her sister-in-law was in harmony, she probably didn't give him any good face when she saw Shen, let alone say anything good. If she asked her sister-in-law to do something to get married, she would probably make Shen even more unhappy.
Song Ziling looked good, Ji'er liked him, and he looked liked Ji'er. When Ji'er grew up, he would be friends with that child and interacted with him more.
"Okay, let's just pretend that I have never mentioned the marriage with the Song family! I am tired of it, so sister-in-law will go back first!" Shu Fei said, pinched her eyebrows and waved her hand impatiently at the Duke of Wei.
"My wife sued her for retreat." The wife of the Duke of Wei State rose up
She was blessed by Concubine Shu and retreated out with some anxiety. She seemed to say the wrong thing, which made the Empress unhappy.
After leaving the palace, the wife of Duke of Wei asked a little uneasy, and the palace daughter who sent her out of the palace.
"Are you unhappy?"
The palace daughter smiled and said, "Isn't this an obvious thing?"
The Empress Shu clearly valued the Song family and Shen family more, but the Duke of Wei said that, wasn’t this slap the Empress in the face? How could the Empress be happy?
The Duke of Wei secretly regretted it, and she had just spoken and should have passed the brain.
At Fuhua Inn, Lin Qingxue sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her face carefully. Her skin was delicate, and after being beaten by the crazy woman for five days, the traces on her face disappeared.
In the past few days, she also heard about Madam Lin. She didn't expect that the old woman was so loyal to her and never even touched her until she died. However, she should have not touched herself, because those things were thought out by the old woman herself and she was going to do it herself. Although she, the master, wanted to get rid of Shen and the two trash, she thought about it for a while, but she didn't let the old woman take action.
After finishing the dressing, Lin Qingxue simply ordered a few dishes and ate them in the house.
She has been staying in the inn these days and has never left the house. There is no way, and for her perfect plan, she can only bear it for the time being.
In the afternoon, Wen Xu did not go home even after getting off duty. He went straight to see Lin Qingxue and had supper with her.
"We have already agreed. When the general returns to the mansion tomorrow, we will come to the door." Wen Xu said with a burning look at Lin Qingxue.
Lin Qingxue bit her lower lip and said softly with some hesitation: "Do you have to do this?"
Wen Xu shook his head and said, "Miss, you cannot be soft-hearted. If you cannot make the evil deeds of the poisonous wife of Shen public and let her be punished, you will not have a good life if you return to the general's mansion."
Alas! Deputy General Lin’s daughter is like him, who is merciful and merciless. But this is the way of the world. People are bullied by others and horses are ridden by others. As long as they can knock down the enemy in one go, they must not be merciful and merciful.
Lin Qingxue nodded as if she was forced to make a decision and said, "Okay then!"
Seeing her nodding and saying yes, Wen Xu smiled. "Miss has been in hiding for a few days. Do you want me to go out for a walk with you today?"
These days, when he got off his post, he would come to the inn to see the young lady having dinner with her. But after today, the young lady was about to return to the general's mansion, and he would never have the chance to get in close contact with the young lady again. So today, he wanted to go out for a walk with the young lady.
Lin Qingxue has indeed become bored these days. She thought that she would return to the general's mansion tomorrow, and that bitch Shen Wan would be ruined. She was in a very good mood and wanted to go out for a walk.
She also knew Wen Xu’s thoughts. Since someone helped her, she had to give him some sweetness appropriately. Maybe she would have something else to do in the future and ask Wen Xu to help!
She looked at Wen Xu and smiled, "Okay! I want to go out for a walk with Brother Wen, too."
Wen Xu's heart moved and he had the urge to hide her forever and not let her return to the general's mansion.
Lin Qingxue put on a veil and left the inn with Wen Xu. Although it was already dark, the streets of the imperial city were still very lively.
After the two walked for a while, Wen Xu took Lin Qingxue into a jewelry shop.
"Master, please buy a hairpin for your wife!" The proprietress stood at the counter and said to Wenxu.
"No..." Wen Xu wanted to deny it, but when he turned around, he saw Lin Qingxue lowering her head shyly. He suddenly didn't want to deny it.
He walked to the counter and said to the boss lady, "Take out all the best hairpins here."
"It's so bad!" Seeing that this was the big customer, the boss hurriedly put all the best hairpins in the shop on the counter.
Wen Xu glanced at him, picked up a solid lotus golden hairpin, and rushed towards Lin Qingxue like a treasure; "Do you like this one?"
In Wenxu's heart, Lin Qingxue is a peerless white lotus, which is untainted from the mud and is washed in the clear water without being charming.
Lin Qingxue didn't know how many such hairpins had before, so it was naturally not rare. However, she still nodded and said, "It looks very good, I like it very much."
The boss's wife hurriedly praised: "You have such a good attitude, this master, and you will pick the best hairpin in our shop as soon as you pick it up."
Wen Xu immediately said: "How much is this hairpin? I want it!"
Since the young lady liked the hairpin he chose, he bought it and gave it to her.
The boss lady: "This hairpin costs three hundred taels of silver."
Wen Xu's mouth twitched slightly invisible. This small hairpin was his salary for half a year. However, ordinary people spend thousands of money just to make the beautiful people smile. Now, what is it that he can only spend 300 taels of silver to make the smile of the people in his heart?
"I bought it." Wen Xu said, then inserted the hairpin into Lin Qingxue's hair.
"Thank you, Brother Wen." Lin Qingxue thanked her in a sweet voice.
Wen Xu looked at the hairpin with golden light in her hair, and his heart was full of energy. He took out a bag of money from his arms, took out the 300 taels of silver he had saved and handed it to the boss's wife.
Wen Xu's salary in the same month was only 40 taels, and he didn't have to worry about the family's expenses. Chen Liniang was paying the money. But he had to invite someone to drink every month. He had saved up the 300 taels of silver for more than a year.
The boss lady smiled and took the silver note, "Master and Mrs. Go slowly, welcome to come again next time."
The two left the shop and walked for a while, then Wenxu reluctantly sent Lin Qingxue back to the inn.
