Qingluan originally thought that with so many things happening, Wei Yanhuai would not have the shame to come to Weiyuan Hou Mansion for this New Year's Eve dinner, but she obviously underestimated the shamelessness of the second roommate of the Wei family. After noon, Wei Yanhuai took Wei Qingyu and Wei Qingyan rushed over.

It was hard to keep people out during the New Year celebrations, so the old lady let them in.

The dark blue brocade robe Wei Yanhuai was wearing was made last year at Weiyuan Hou Mansion. He was carrying four-color dried fruits in his hands as a New Year's gift to the old lady. And Wei Qingyu's face She no longer had the same sense of superiority as before, but Qingluan was a little surprised by the appearance of Wei Qingyan. You must know that when Li was still there, Wei Qingyan was the transparent person in the second room. She was absent on most occasions. The only The few times she attended, she basically kept silent and acted submissively, just like a concubine who was abandoned by the Li family.

But this time, there was a smile between her brows and eyes. Qingluan only glanced at her and then looked away, fearing that the second wife of the Wei family was in chaos now.

Wei Ling and Wei Qingyuan, brother and sister, did not show up. According to Wei Yanhuai's words, the two of them were accidentally infected with the cold. Qingluan knew that Wei Qingyuan probably resented Weiyuan Hou Mansion and was unwilling to come, but Wei Qingyuan, who had always been impulsive, had such integrity that Qingluan was somewhat impressed.

From the moment she entered Rongshou Hall, Wei Qingyu always smiled. No matter whether it was Wei Xin'er, she or Yan, she was always polite, and she always had a sense of flattery in her words. meaning.

Although the arrival of the second room made the New Year's Eve dinner a little awkward, Qingluan simply ignored the three annoying people and didn't care anymore, so naturally she wasn't unhappy. She had her brother here this year. With my grandmother and sister Xin'er by my side, I naturally want to live happily.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Wei Yansi took the three-bedroom people away and said goodbye. Now that they had their own house, it was natural for them to go home and watch the New Year.

Wei Yan was pregnant and wanted to stay, but when he saw the third child leaving, he didn't feel embarrassed to stay any longer. He sat for a while and then left.

Wei Qingyu returned to her cramped little yard, and Wei Qingyuan lay down on the bed early. There was no charcoal pot in the house, and the temperature was about the same as outside without the kang bed. There were constant sounds of firecrackers outside, and it seemed like they were the only ones there. The place was quiet and quiet, with no New Year atmosphere at all.

Thinking about the lively scenes in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in previous years, Wei Qingyu suddenly felt sad. Looking at the dark courtyard with an aura of violence, Wei Qingyu finally couldn't bear it and cried.

Luan Ben is so good. Wei Qingyuan was awakened by her crying. Seeing her lying on the window crying, he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "This is back from Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. Isn't it because I was kicked back because I was so embarrassed?" "Wei Qingyuan is still the person who never keeps anything in his heart.

She resented Wei Yanhuai in her heart, so she never called Wei Yanhuai again after Mrs. Li passed away. She couldn't stand Wei Qingyu's shamelessness in going up to please the people in Weiyuan Hou Mansion, so she even treated her All his words are full of thorns.

The two sisters have quarreled countless times over this. Wei Qingyu doesn't even understand how Wei Qingyuan adapts to such a life. The hard kang bed and the food are worse than those of the servants of Weiyuan Hou Mansion. How could she endure such a life?

She couldn't live such a life anyway, so she had to find a way out for herself no matter what. Her father was unreliable, her eldest brother was useless, and the only one who would consider her, Li, was dead, so she could only rely on herself.

*************************

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Weiyuan Hou Mansion welcomed a wave of guests, but it was Wei Ailian who was married to Jiangnan and was Qingluan's nominal aunt.

Wei Ailian was the last in the Wei family and was the daughter of an aunt. Her grandfather decided to marry her to Shaoxing in the south of the Yangtze River. The person she married was the prefect of Shaoxing Prefecture. After Wei Ailian was married, she never returned to Beijing.

Even Qingluan felt strange about her arrival this time.

When Qingluan and Wei Xin'er came to Rongshou Hall together, it was already very lively. The oval-faced woman sitting at the bottom was Wei Ailian, and on the other side was a woman in her forties with long hair.

The middle-aged man with a goatee was actually Wei Ailian's husband, Chen Changmin. In addition, there were their son and two daughters, who filled the hall of Rongshou Hall.

When the old lady saw the two figures, she waved to them and said, "Luan'er, Xin'er came here to meet your aunt and uncle."

Wei Qingluan and Wei Xin'er were very good at etiquette. They stepped forward to salute Chen Changmin and Wei Ailian. Before they could even bend down, Wei Ailian pulled them up and said, "Okay.

Okay, why should relatives of the same family be so

You're welcome, this is Xin'er, the old lady is really discerning. Where did you find such a beautiful girl? Come on, come on, this is a meeting gift from your aunt." She said and put a purse with a small goldfish in it.

Stuffed it to Wei Xin'er.

Then he took Qingluan's hand and said: "Qingluan's appearance is just like that of my elder sister-in-law. When I got married, I relied on my elder sister-in-law to take care of everything. The person I am most grateful to is also my elder brother and sister-in-law.

But now that I have returned to Beijing, my elder brother and sister-in-law are no longer here."

Wei Ailian's eyes turned red when she said that, and Qingluan's nose also felt sore.

Chen Changmin said: "If you're celebrating the New Year, don't make your child cry."

After he said this, Wei Ailian smiled again and said: "Yes, yes, it's all aunt's fault. From now on, aunt will love you. Come on, take this purse." A greeting gift identical to Wei Xin'er's was stuffed into Qingluan's hand.

On hand.

Then it was time to meet Wei Ailian's children, the sixteen-year-old eldest cousin Chen Biyu, the fourteen-year-old second cousin Chen Baoyu, and the eight-year-old little cousin Chen Chiqi.

Because of the arrival of the aunt's family, the old lady sent someone to invite Wei Yanhuai and Wei Yansi over again. This time, only Wei Qingyu came from the second room, and only Wei Yansi and his wife came from the third room. We met from the other rooms.

After a while, Wei Yanhuai was particularly excited. He pulled Chen Changmin's hand and called his brother-in-law.

He drank. He had really been depressed for too long. Ever since he moved away from Weiyuan Hou Mansion, his life had become more and more miserable. Wei Che only treated him as face-saving, and he was often ridiculed and ridiculed because of those things when he went out.

, the third child was not at odds with him in the first place, and he didn’t even have anyone to talk to in the entire Shangjing.

Before Wei Ailian got married, the relationship between Wei Yanhuai and her was only average. Wei Yanhuai had always had the problem of having a high self-esteem. When he was young, he even looked down on Wei Yansi and Wei Ailian, so Wei Ailian saw Wei Yanhuai.

Yan Huai couldn't help but be surprised by such an enthusiastic gesture.

Their family had just arrived in Beijing yesterday, and had been traveling on the road even this year. After packing up, they took advantage of the second day of the Lunar New Year to visit their parents' house. Naturally, they didn't know what happened in the first and second bedrooms.

Chen Changmin has been the prefect of Shaoxing for many years, and his family is rich. Even the greeting gifts are a purse full of small goldfish, and the three Chen siblings are also well-dressed. Wei Yanhuai wants to rely on

I am living with this brother-in-law.

Wei Che couldn't help but frown when he saw Wei Yanhuai like this. A man had fallen so low that he had no dignity left. His second uncle was hopeless.

And Wei Qingyu was surrounding Wei Ailian. In fact, Wei Qingyu was quite capable of pleasing people, even if she flattered others, she would not show any signs of it. Therefore, Wei Ailian's family had a good impression of Wei Qingyu.

Until Wei Ailian asked: "Qingyu, why haven't your mother and the others come over? Do you think they don't welcome me?" Wei Ailian's words were mostly meant as a joke. She also knew about Li, and she was very thoughtful.

, I had used a shackle on her before, but that was more than ten years ago. Now that she has children and a promising husband, she has forgotten all the unhappiness she had before getting married.

Wei Qingyu's smile faltered. Obviously, this aunt didn't know what happened in the second room. For a moment, she felt resentment towards Mrs. Li. She finally managed to get past Wei Qingluan and others and get into the eyes of this aunt.

, if she were to know what Li had done, there was no guarantee that her impression would be greatly reduced. However, without telling her, there were so many pairs of eyes staring at her here, which put her in a dilemma. 13acv.

After a long while, Wei Qingyu brewed up a feeling of sadness. She pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Auntie..." She only shouted once, and tears fell down, which frightened Wei Ailian.

Jump.

"What's going on? Don't cry first?" Wei Ailian patted Wei Qingyu's back and said comfortingly.

Wei Qingyu cried for a full cup of tea before she raised her red eyes and said, "Auntie, my mother is dead."

"Ah -" Now it was Wei Ailian's turn to be dumbfounded. She originally thought that the Li family was holding the genealogy of the direct lineage, so she was unwilling to come to see her as a concubine. Who knew that she was gone? No, look at this Wei Qing

Yu, she happily made them laugh just now. Isn’t she not sad at all when Mrs. Li died? Or maybe it’s been a few years since Mrs. Li died and her sadness has subsided?

Wei Ailian's mind was full of doubts, but she asked one important point: "When did this happen? Why didn't anyone notify me?" Even if she was in Jiangnan and couldn't come in person, she would definitely die.

Sister-in-law, even if she doesn't come herself, she must send someone to pay her respects.

Li's funeral was not a grand event, firstly because Li's death was not very honorable, and because Wei Yanhuai was originally a cool person, after Li's death, she completely forgot about her good deeds during her lifetime.

He was unwilling to spend money on a grand burial for her, so in the end Li's funeral seemed very shabby.

"My mother has been dead for two months." Wei Qingyu said calmly.

Wei Ailian was shocked. The way she looked at Wei Qingyu had completely changed. Her mother had died less than three months ago. During the period of filial piety, Wei Qingyu not only visited relatives but also smiled and smiled.
