Chapter 25: When a person dies once, he sees everything
Another day later, the atmosphere in the house became warm and heavy. A servant had already come back to report that the master and his second wife had arrived outside the city and would be returning to the house in less than half an hour.
Because of Yunxuan's sudden death a few days ago, white lanterns were hung up in the house. Although some cleaning was done yesterday, there are still some dead spots that have not been cleaned up.
Mrs. Su had people buy firecrackers very early in the morning, and before dawn they exploded in front of Yanye Pavilion. It was said that she was sending firecrackers to the God of Plague and driving away bad luck. The implication was that the God of Plague must have something in mind.
Bai Yunxuan knew that there was something behind her words, and she was talking about the irritation in her heart, but she had to keep it in her heart to prevent it from happening. After all, she had not yet established a firm foothold in this family, and she had not figured out the situation. If she had a head-on conflict with the eldest grandma, she would only suffer the loss.
, and Bai Yunxi will also feel sorry for herself.
As for Wei Jianjia, you can't count on her at all. She has always been calm and peaceful. No matter how others bully her, she just smiles and says nothing.
Logically speaking, when the old man returns home, his wife and concubines are going to greet him at the door, but at this moment, Wei Jianjia is staying alone in the house, embroidering the work of a female worker.
"Ruixue, why don't you go to the door with your aunt to greet your father?" Bai Yunxuan gently called Ruixue aside and asked in detail.
Ruixue's face was gray and a little depressed, and she sighed: "It's always been arranged like this. No matter how big or small the banquet is, or when welcoming or seeing off distinguished guests, only the eldest grandma and the second grandma accompany the master.
It’s not like you don’t understand Madam’s temperament. If she exerts a little more force, how could our third room be in such a bad state? Even if Madam wants to go, with someone as powerful as Grandma, can Madam be allowed to go?”
"After all, she is also father's wife and concubine. She also gave birth to a pair of children for him. Why can't she go? Is the eldest grandma so powerful? Mother, really, if you are so forbearing and giving in, doesn't she know how to fight for it?" Bai Yunxuan heard this and felt in her heart.
For the first time, I was angry. It seemed that Su Shi was covering the sky with one hand in this house. She bullied the side room so blatantly.
Bai Zhongyuan didn't care, and he didn't know if he had any tenderness for Wei Jianjia, but he allowed others to run against her like this.
Ruixue was stunned for a while. She didn't expect that the lady who was usually cold and casual would say such words, but she was quite surprised.
Yunxuan looked at Ruixue with a hint of confusion in her expression, coughed slightly, and smiled lightly: "This man, his whole person seems to have become much brighter after he died. I just felt wronged for my mother, and I feel that it is not worth it."
The second brother is my real brother, but he gave it to others in vain, which made my mother feel sad day and night. They are not grateful and bully us like this!"
