Wu Mingyi wiped away her tears and walked to the soft couch to sit down.
Mrs. Cui reached out to hold Wu Mingyi's hand and asked with concern: "Why are you wronged? Didn't you go to add makeup to the palm beads? Who messed with you?"
Wu Mingyi's tears were like broken beads, falling straight down. Choking with sobs, Wu Mingyi told Mrs. Cui what happened in Jiang Mansion in an embellished way.
Finally, he said angrily: "Grandma, Yi'er feels very sad.
The red corals Ning Wei used to add makeup to her palm beads were the two pieces collected by Brother Le.
In order to please Ning Wei, Brother Le gave the red coral to Ning Wei.
Ning Wei is just a foxy girl, and Brother Le is so fascinated by her... Even Sister Xing and Sister Chen are on her side."
As Wu Mingyi spoke, she wiped her tears sadly, waiting for Mrs. Cui to be angry.
Mrs. Cui is the queen's mother. She has been in the high position of the Duke's wife for a long time. She is used to being domineering and cannot bear the slightest slight.
Wu Mingyi waited for a moment, but before he could see Mrs. Cui, she was furious.
Wu Mingyi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, then wiped the tip of his nose with the handkerchief, and made a gentle sobbing gesture, so that Mrs. Wu could see her sadness.
Mrs. Cui didn't pay attention to Wu Mingyi's movements at all.
At this moment, Mrs. Cui was immersed in her own thoughts.
In her impression, the people of Weiyuanhou treated her with great respect.
These days, the attitude towards her by several brats in the Hou Mansion, especially Shi Jingyang, is not as good as before, even very bad...
Shi Jingyang has always been sensible and would not disobey his elders for a woman.
Do they know about that? No way, Wu Errong didn't even know about it, how did these brats know about it?
No! The people who knew about it were already dead. How could they know? Mrs. Cui denied her speculation.
When Wu Mingyi saw that Mrs. Cui had no reaction, she raised her head and looked at Mrs. Cui.
I saw Mrs. Cui looking forward with unfocused eyes, in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Wu Mingyi shouted: "Grandma!"
After calling out, Mrs. Cui didn't answer. Wu Mingyi called out twice more, "Grandma."
Mrs. Cui still didn't answer, Wu Mingyi reached out and shook her arm.
Mrs. Cui came back to her senses, lowered her head and looked at Wu Mingyi, and asked: "Sister Yi, what's wrong?"
Wu Mingyi looked at the confused Mrs. Cui and asked, "What is grandma thinking?"
Mrs. Cui shook her head nervously, "Nothing! You said Sister Xing, Sister Chen also went to add makeup to the palm beads?"
Wu Mingyi nodded and said: "Yes, it's not just Sister Xing, Sister Chen has gone, Ning Wei's damn girl has also gone.
The Ning family couldn't come up with a decent makeup gift, so Brother Le gave his red coral as a makeup gift to that damn girl..."
The red coral in Shi Jingyang's hand was once a thorn in Mrs. Cui's throat. Wu Mingyi glanced at Mrs. Cui secretly as he spoke.
Mrs. Cui's mind was not on the makeup gift, so she asked: "Is the Duke at home?"
"Huh?" Wu Mingyi looked at Mrs. Cui in astonishment and did not react for a moment.
Wu Mingyi didn't understand why her grandmother asked about her grandfather.
At this time, shouldn't grandma scold Shi Jingyang, Shi Jingxing and the others angrily?
Mrs. Cui saw Wu Mingyi's confused face and asked again without explaining, "Is the Duke at home?"
Wu Mingyi shook his head, "I don't know about Yi'er. When Yi'er came back from Jiang Mansion, she went straight to her grandmother's place and did not go to pay her respects to her grandfather."
According to the rules of the Duke's Mansion, if the female family members go out, they can return to the mansion to pay respects to the clan's wife. There is no need to go to the outer courtyard to pay greetings to the Duke.
Wu Mingyi stared at Mrs. Cui closely, trying to pry out her inner thoughts from her face.
At this time, shouldn't grandma be angry and hit things? Why should grandma ask whether grandpa is at home?
Are you going to complain to your grandfather? Let your grandfather reprimand Shi Jingyang...
"You're tired too, go back and have a rest early. Someone's here!" Mrs. Cui confessed expressionlessly and shouted towards the door.
When Wu Mingyi saw Mrs. Cui issuing an order to expel guests, she had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.
Grandma Shi came in with medicine.
Mrs. Cui said: "Let someone ask Duke Chengguo to come over."
After receiving the order, Grandma Shi sent An Xin to invite Duke Chengguo.
Wu Mingyi exited the Nuan Pavilion and saw his mother standing under the verandah. He was just about to say goodbye when he saw his mother turning around and walking forward.
When Wu Mingyi saw her, she hurried forward and chased Mrs. Li to the entrance of the courtyard.
After leaving the yard, Mrs. Li slowed down her steps.
"Aniang!" Wu Mingyi shouted.
Mrs. Li stopped and said, "What did I tell you? Do you remember?"
Wu Mingyi lowered his head, stared at his toes, and whispered, "Remember."
"Remember?" Mrs. Li asked. "Then why did you go to the old lady and talk nonsense again? You have to make this family upset to be happy, right?"
Mrs. Li tried her best to suppress her voice, but her voice kept getting higher and higher, and her words were full of dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Li's words angered Wu Mingyi.
Wu Mingyi raised his head and looked at Mrs. Li: "Why did Auntie say this?
Which of the words my daughter just said is nonsense?
How capable can a daughter be to disturb the family?
Which mother doesn’t think about her children? She hopes that her children will be well!
Only A Niang didn't help her daughter, and instead blamed her.
My daughter has already said that she will never marry except her brother Yue in this life."
Mrs. Li was furious, "You... how many times have I told you that Brother Le is not your lover? Why can't you listen?"
Shi Mingyi said angrily: "Who caused all this? For more than ten years, you have been saying that Brother Le and his daughter are a perfect match.
My daughter has listened to it for more than ten years, and she has taken it seriously! She won’t marry anyone but him."
Seeing that Wu Mingyi couldn't see through it, Mrs. Li let out a long sigh, "Why can't you listen? Can't you see that Brother Le doesn't have you in his heart? Why are you so stubborn?"
Wu Mingyi couldn't listen to others saying that Shi Jingyang didn't have her in his heart, and stared at Mrs. Li.
He said excitedly: "Who said Brother Le doesn't care about me? If Brother Le doesn't care about me, why would he accompany me to the Lantern Festival this Lantern Festival and win lanterns by guessing lantern riddles for me?
During last year’s Qiqiao Festival, he accompanied me to put out river lanterns.”
Mrs. Li was surprised and asked: "Are you serious? Will Brother Le really accompany you to the lantern festival this Lantern Festival?"
Wu Mingyi lowered her head and replied: "Of course I am serious, can my daughter still make up nonsense?"
Mrs. Li stared at Wu Mingyi for a while and said, "I know about this. You can go back and rest."
Wu Mingyi raised his head and looked at Mrs. Li, "Auntie, you will help your daughter, right?"
Mrs. Li did not nod or shake her head, she just said: "I will ask someone to find out and then give you an explanation."
Mrs. Li's attitude gave Wu Mingyi a glimmer of hope and hope in her heart.
Wu Mingyi looked at Mrs. Li and said solemnly: "Aniang, my daughter is not married to my brother Le!"
