Deqi and I have grown up eating together and sleeping together, and we have a deep relationship. It's a pity that she left too early."
After saying that, Mrs. Qian sighed heavily.
Soon, Yue Niang came back and reported to Mrs. Qian: "Old Madam, Xiao Jiu has gone to the Xu Mansion in Baoping Lane to ask for Mrs. Liu's instructions.
The food in the kitchen has been prepared, let’s eat first and wait while we eat, okay?”
Mrs. Qian raised her head and asked, "Has Qiao'an returned to Beijing?"
Yueniang leaned forward and replied: "Xiao Jiu said that Mrs. Liu returned to the capital the day before yesterday."
Knowing that Liu Qiao'an had returned to Beijing, Mrs. Qian was very happy, "Okay, let's eat first. Is Prince Shi still in the outer courtyard? Thanks to Prince Shi, Sister Wei can come back safely today. Let him stay for a simple meal to express her gratitude."
Yue Niang replied: "When the old slave came back, he met Shi Shizi and left."
Mrs. Qian was somewhat disappointed when she heard that Shi Jingyang had left.
Shi Jingyang escorted Ning Wei back today, which made Mrs. Qian's expectations rise again.
Said: "I know! Let's have some food put in Brother Yu's room. Let's go to the outer courtyard to eat. It's just in time to talk to Brother Yu about our plans."
Yue Niang bowed in response and turned around to do the order.
After dinner, the three of them sat down together to drink tea and discuss how to deal with the current predicament.
A servant came to report, "Old Madam, Mrs. Liu from Baoping Lane is here to visit."
Mrs. Qian quickly stood up and walked out while saying to Ning Wei: "Sister Wei, go with your grandmother to greet your aunt."
Ning Yu and Ning Wei stood up. Mrs. Qian looked at Ning Yu and asked, "Brother Yu's leg is injured, so he is resting in the room."
Ning Yu said: "It doesn't matter, I have a crutch!"
Ning Yu patted the crutch under his arm as he spoke.
Madam Qian nodded and was helped out by Ning Wei.
It was already dark outside the house, with jujube flowers and mulberry leaves holding lanterns to lead the way. At the gate, the servants led Mrs. Liu inside.
Seeing Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Liu hurried forward, grabbed Mrs. Qian's hand and called excitedly, "Auntie!"
Ning Wei looked at Mrs. Liu, who was slightly fat and rich, and let go of her grandmother's hand. She stood aside and watched the two of them talking.
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Mrs. Qian turned to Ning Wei and said, "Sister Wei, brother Yu, come here to pay homage to your cousin."
Ning Wei took a step forward and greeted Mrs. Liu respectfully.
Mrs. Liu looked at Ning Wei and Ning Yu, sighed and sighed, and the group went into the room to talk.
"Didn't you go back to Taiyuan Mansion?" After entering the room and sitting down, Mrs. Qian looked at Mrs. Liu and asked with concern.
Mrs. Liu's husband's family is originally from Taiyuan Prefecture. After returning to Beijing with her husband at the beginning of the year, Mrs. Liu took her children back to Taiyuan Prefecture to worship their ancestors.
"I returned to the capital the day before yesterday. I wanted to settle down at home and then go to visit my aunt. If the housewife hadn't come to report it, I wouldn't have known that my aunt had moved to Minghui Lane."
Mrs. Qian glanced at Yue Niang, and Yue Niang took the maid and her mother-in-law down.
After the servants left, Mrs. Qian sighed heavily and explained the family affairs to Mrs. Liu in detail.
Mrs. Liu was furious when she heard this, "Why is my cousin so confused? Brother Yu and Sister Wei are his legitimate sons and daughters. How can he let Zhao Jinxiu play with these two children? I will persuade him another day."
Liu Qiaoan also lost her mother when she was young, and suffered a lot of anger from her stepmother since childhood. Therefore, she felt the same for Ning Yu and Ning Wei, and felt a little more pity for the brother and sister.
Mrs. Qian shook her head and said helplessly: "Forget it, now he is obsessed and can't listen to advice at all.
If anyone tried to persuade him, he would just say that Brother Yu and Sister Wei were talking nonsense outside, and then he would punish the two children.
The more people you persuade, the more punishment they will receive.
Because of this, in these years, I never took Brother Yu and Sister Wei to anyone's house for dinner, for fear of someone gossiping... In the end, it is these two children who are sad."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu felt very uncomfortable, "How could my cousin become like this?"
Mrs. Qian waved her hand, "Oh, forget it, let's not mention him anymore. Brother Yu and Sister Wei have grown up.
I have nothing else to ask for now, I just hope that before the Qiu Wei Festival can go smoothly, Brother Yu can participate in the Qiu Wei Festival smoothly.
Brother Yu has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he can only support Sister Wei in the future by fighting for a good future for himself.
He has recovered, and if Sister Wei was angry at her husband's family, she will have someone to support her."
Mrs. Liu is someone who has been here before, and was deeply touched by Mrs. Qian's words. She sighed and said, "Oh, my aunt is right. If there is no one in your mother's family, you will get a lot of looks from your husband's family. What's wrong with Brother Yu's legs?"
Mrs. Qian said angrily, "Brother Yu's legs were hit by Zhao Yongqing, the nephew of the Zhao family."
After saying that, Mrs. Qian recounted the previous events in a few words, and finally said: "I can't let Brother Yu get into trouble again, so I moved here to live.
No, Mrs. Zhao will come to your door today to make trouble. I was worried that she would make trouble again at night, so I thought of renting your yard to stay for a night. I will send someone to find another place to stay at dawn tomorrow."
Mrs. Qian was really scared, her eyes were full of worry and fear, and her hand holding the beads was trembling slightly.
Mrs. Qian was always calm and calm in front of Ning Wei. Ning Wei had never seen her grandmother worry about something.
In her last life, her reputation was completely ruined, she was scorned by others, and her grandmother fell ill because of it. However, her grandmother was still calm and calm in front of others.
It turns out that grandma can also be afraid and frightened.
Ning Wei's neck felt like it was stuck, causing her chest to be tight and short of breath, and her heart to be in pain.
Mrs. Liu sat next to Mrs. Qian, stretched out her hand to hold Mrs. Qian's hand, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't worry, aunt, I'll take care of everything.
Before, I was far away at the border and couldn't take care of you.
Now that I'm back in Beijing, I'll take care of you and take care of Brother Yu and Sister Wei.
Auntie, don't go looking for another place to live. You take Brother Yu and Sister Wei and move to Baoping Lane to live with me."
Mrs. Qian shook her head repeatedly, "How can that happen? It's not suitable for us to live there!"
Mrs. Liu knew that Mrs. Qian was very strong and would not accept help from others easily.
"Auntie, don't worry, just listen to what I have to say first.
There is an independent courtyard in my house, which was originally reserved for Jie Geer's husband and his family. Later, Jie Geer joined the army and his husband resigned, and the courtyard became empty.
Aunt, it's very inconvenient for you to find a place to live outside.
If Zhao is found, something might happen.
When you go to my place, the servants in my house have all retired from the military camp and can reach out well. Even if there are thieves coming to the door, the servants can easily deal with a few thieves.
Moreover, the opposite side of Baoping Lane is the residence of Master Yang, so it is convenient for Brother Yu to go to and from school."
Mrs. Liu always thought about Mrs. Qian, and spoke softly, and every sentence she spoke touched Mrs. Qian's heart.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qian was a little moved. She thought about it and said, "Then... I will pay the rent every month."
