Shen Rui shuddered and couldn't help but look at her a few more times. The anger that she had driven away before disappeared without a trace after hearing her words.
Instead, there was unspeakable guilt.
As expected, she still held a grudge against him because of his previous neglect!
It seems that the gap between her and him is not so easy to fill! Shen Rui looked at Wei Zijin silently for a long time, and finally did not force her. He sighed and said: "Well, I was sorry for you before, but I will do more in the future." Come and see your..."
After saying this, he stood up and left Lixiangyuan.
Wei Zijin looked at his leaving figure indifferently and put the piano away. At this time, Qiaoxiang hurriedly brought the bird's nest porridge that had just been stewed, and was surprised to find that Lord Shangshu was not in the room.
"Hey, madam, where is Lord Shangshu?" Qiaoxiang asked doubtfully, looking left and right but did not see Shangshu Shen Rui.
"Gone!" Wei Zijin said lightly. Qiaoxiang was still confused at first, but when she heard Wei Zijin's answer, her eyes widened in shock: "What? Gone? Why did you leave so well? You haven't drunk the bird's nest porridge yet... "Qiaoxiang was still secretly happy before, but now she heard that Master Shangshu left again, her mood suddenly dropped.
Wei Zijin shrugged disapprovingly. Seeing Qiao Xiang's depressed mood, he felt funny again: "Just leave, drink it yourself, don't waste such good bird's nest porridge!"
"But..." Qiaoxiang originally wanted to ask whether it was the madam who drove the Lord away, but she didn't dare to ask the question when the words came to her lips.
Wei Zijin looked at Qiao Xiang who was hesitant to speak, put down the bird's nest porridge, and said with a smile: "Just say what you want to say!"
"Madam, Master Shangshu came here with great difficulty, why didn't Madam let Master Shangshu stay overnight?" Qiao Xiang asked cautiously, not knowing exactly what Madam was thinking.
Wei Zijin had known that Qiao Xiang would ask this question, so he smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better to treat each other as guests like we are now?"
After saying this, she raised her eyes and looked out the window, her eyes suddenly becoming dark. One day she would leave this Shangshu Mansion and achieve everything she wanted to do, so why should she be loved by someone who has nothing to do with Fengyue at this time? Involved?!
Qiaoxiang originally wanted to say something, but when she saw that there seemed to be a different kind of determination hidden under Madam's peaceful face, she finally nodded silently.
She is a domestic servant of General Wei's Mansion and has been with Madam since she was a child. No matter what, she will support Madam's decision!
"Don't be in a daze, the porridge won't be good when it's cold!" Wei Zijin saw that Qiaoxiang seemed to be still thinking, and reminded her with a smile. Qiaoxiang felt warm when he saw his wife's smile, nodded, picked up the bowl and said: " Well, madam, you can drink it too, I cooked this with my own hands!"
"Your craftsmanship is getting better and better..." Wei Zijin finished drinking the bird's nest porridge and praised with a smile: "The pastries are also exquisite and delicious, no less than the pastries in the imperial kitchen!"
"How can a servant compare to the craftsmanship of the Imperial Kitchen..." Qiao Xiang laughed shyly, suddenly remembered something, and asked doubtfully: "Have you ever tasted the pastries from the Imperial Kitchen?"
Wei Zijin's hand holding the bowl of porridge froze, and he said casually: "Didn't the Queen treat her to cakes when she entertained Mrs. Gaoming's family members at the banquet?"
She wasn't sure whether her former self had given it to General Wei as a reward, let alone whether Wei Zijin had eaten it, but other than that, she couldn't explain much to Qiao Xiang!
