Chapter Thirty-Five: Big Sister and Mother-in-law Liu
As soon as the servant led Wen Jiaojiao and Wen Zhao into the main hall, before they could stand still, they heard a sharp voice, "Ouch, look who's here!"
This voice reminded Wen Jiaojiao of the flattering, high-pitched voice of the madam when she used to watch TV series.
Wen Jiaojiao followed the voice and saw a middle-aged woman in very rich clothes coming out of the main hall. When the woman saw Wen Jiaojiao, her eyes were as wide as copper bells, "Which restaurant is this?"
My girl, she looks so graceful, like a fairy!"
Saying that, the woman was about to come forward and take Wen Jiaojiao's hand. Wen Zhao was so frightened that he quickly stopped in front of Wen Jiaojiao, but Yuzhu and the others moved faster than Wen Zhao and blocked the woman from doing anything else.
Come forward.
The woman's expression changed instantly, "Why are you stopping me? Which family do you girls belong to?"
"Mother!"
A soft and gentle voice came from behind Wen Jiaojiao and the others. Wen Jiaojiao turned around and saw a beautiful and graceful woman carrying a man with an upright and handsome face into the main hall.
This woman is Wen Jiaojiao's concubine's eldest sister Wen Wanzheng. She is just like in the memory, she is a very beautiful and gentle woman, who makes people feel like spring breeze just looking at her.
The man next to her is Wen Wanzheng's husband Fang Yuan. He has an upright figure and an easy-going temperament. The two of them match each other very well when they stand together.
Wen Jiaojiao glanced again at the middle-aged woman who was making noises. Wen Wanzheng called her mother, so this woman was Wen Wanzheng's mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu.
"Sister!"
When Wen Zhao saw Wen Wanzheng, he immediately jumped up to hug her happily.
"Ah Zhao has grown up a lot." Wen Wanzheng hugged her youngest brother, with joy in her eyes.
Wen Wanzheng hugged Wen Zhao for a while, her eyes searching as she was surrounded by maids, "Jiao Jiao?"
The maids immediately separated a path for Wen Jiaojiao, but they all cautiously blocked Mrs. Liu aside.
"big sister."
Wen Wanzheng let go of Wen Zhao, hugged Wen Jiaojiao into her arms, and said softly: "I haven't seen Jiaojiao for a long time, I miss you so much."
Wen Wanzheng stroked Wen Jiaojiao's long hair, hugged her petite body, and showed a distressed look, "Jiaojiao has lost a lot of weight. On the way back to Beijing, I heard a letter from home saying that you have suffered a lot again. It's really
It makes me feel bad."
Wen Wanzheng said, letting go of Wen Jiaojiao, grabbing her arms and looking her up and down.
Wen Wanzheng's husband gently watched Wen Wanzheng reunite with her siblings.
"Oh, this little lady is Wan Zheng's younger sister. This is the first time I have seen such a charming little lady."
Mrs. Liu pushed away the maids who were blocking her, and came forward with a chubby smiling face. Wen Wanzheng immediately gave her husband a look, and Fang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
Mother.
"Mom, this is a young lady who is a direct descendant of the Wen family. She has a distinguished status and cannot act recklessly."
Mrs. Liu clapped her hands, showing her country spirit, and said cheerfully: "It turns out that she is the legitimate daughter. No wonder she is so well-raised. Although she looks small and delicate, she is lucky at first glance. The legitimate daughter will be born this year."
Hey, are you getting married?"
Yuzhu and Fengxin looked at each other with frowns, and then both stared at Mrs. Liu to prevent her from rashly colliding with the young lady.
Wen Wanzheng held Wen Jiaojiao in her arms and said to Mrs. Liu, "Jiaojiao is still young. Her marriage is decided by the mistress of the family. We have no way to interfere."
Hearing Wen Wanzheng's words, Mrs. Liu snorted, "If you were more confident, I wouldn't have to worry about this and that all day long. I think your sister is blessed. Maybe she will get married in the future.
Better than you."
Wen Jiaojiao saw that Mrs. Liu was glaring at Wen Wanzheng. This was because there were outsiders present. Without outsiders, wouldn't it be even more presumptuous?
As soon as she moved and was about to get angry, Wen Wanzheng's hand holding her arm tightened. Wen Jiaojiao turned her head to look at Wen Wanzheng, only to see her shaking her head to herself and rubbing her back soothingly.
.
"Mom, you're here again!" Fang Yuan immediately grimaced when he heard Mr. Liu speak so disrespectfully to his wife, "I told you a long time ago that Azheng married into our family because of our high expectations.
Besides, A-Zheng and I are still young, so why worry about not having children? A-Zheng’s younger siblings finally came to see her today, so please don’t say a few words."
Mrs. Liu glanced at the two young men who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. Even though they were the daughters and young masters of aristocratic families, they were just two young children and did not take them seriously.
She is the elder and they are the juniors, do they still need her to give them face?
But seeing that the maids surrounding Wen Jiaojiao were all dressed in gold and silver, and each maid was no worse than an ordinary young lady from a wealthy family, I guessed that she must be very favored at home, so she changed her mind and stopped entangled.
"Okay, okay, my brothers and sisters at home are here to play. Then you can have a good time with your two children. Don't be constrained because of me, an old woman."
"Then my wife will take her younger siblings for a stroll in the garden."
As Wen Wanzheng said this, she hugged Wen Jiaojiao and Wen Zhao and walked out.
Mrs. Liu shouted behind them: "I'm going to ask someone to prepare food. Remember to leave the young master and the young lady at home for dinner later!"
…
"Sister, how have you endured this annoying mother-in-law for four years?"
As soon as he came out of the main hall and saw his brother-in-law Fang Yuan walking away, Wen Jiaojiao opened his mouth and said to Wen Wanzheng.
Wen Wanzheng smiled and caressed Wen Jiaojiao's head, "Jiaojiajiao has become a lot more sensible. It was good that he didn't stand up for big sister just now."
According to the situation just now, Wen Jiaojiao would have had a fit and had a big quarrel with Mr. Liu. He would not stop until the Fang Mansion was turned into a turmoil. She would definitely not have thought that what happened to Wen Wanzheng would
Mrs. Liu started to quarrel, which did no good to Wen Wanzheng.
After they leave, Mr. Liu will definitely embarrass Wen Wanzheng.
Wen Wanzheng hugged Wen Jiaojiao and sat down on the corridor, holding her hand and saying: "Although my mother-in-law is a bit fierce and unreasonable, your brother-in-law always stands by my side to protect me, and I usually don't
I live with my mother-in-law. In the past four years, I have accompanied your brother-in-law to do business in various places in the south, and I basically don’t have much contact with my mother-in-law."
Wen Jiaojiao said: "But A Zhao told me that you and your brother-in-law are going back to the capital to settle down? Wouldn't that mean you have to live with your mother-in-law every day?"
"That's true, because this house has been purchased before. We came back in a hurry this time and have no other preparations, so we can only live in Fang Mansion first."
Wen Zhao on the side said angrily: "Sister, you said it so easily. In the past, your mother-in-law only liked her two younger sons and favored them. Now that my brother-in-law is rich in business, he knows to ask you and your brother-in-law for money every day.
I want to use the money to subsidize them. Not only them, but also those poor relatives who came here from time to time. I would say that my sister should not have taken them to Beijing at that time."
Wen Wanzheng patted Wen Zhao angrily, "Look at how anxious you are, I'm not even anxious yet."
Wen Zhao muttered: "Can we not be anxious? We are afraid that sister will be wronged."
