She had always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to him about this, but every time, that naughty little boy A Sheng was there and she couldn't say it at all.

Wei Longrui knew what Wei Bingyan meant. He tilted his neck slightly, and the bright sunlight shining on the earth in the hot summer cast a touch on his face. He looked a little dazed. "I know, sister."

Wei Bingyan looked at him strangely.

It's not that he didn't know that his aunt had brought this upon herself... but he felt a little insecure deep down. His mother and sister were so kind to them, so why did his aunt do these things to harm them? He was saddened by the fate of his aunt Qiu, and was also worried that his mother and sister would treat him differently from now on.

Ever since his aunt passed away, he has been working very hard, carefully reading their expressions and speaking, just hoping that they will stop resenting his aunt.

"Then..." Wei Bingyan looked at him and smiled from time to time, "You are my mother's son, my younger brother, just like Ah Sheng."

Wei Longrui nodded and smiled faintly, "Sister, it's getting late. I'll leave first. You go back."

After getting on the carriage, Wei Longrui pulled open the curtain and waved to Wei Bingyan who was still standing outside the door. He then ordered the servant to drive. When the carriage started, he slowly lowered the curtain, and the smile on his face faded slightly.

Was the person I saw at the inconspicuous little door that day really my aunt? The milk was poisoned...it must be related to her.

Because he saw a figure who looked very much like his aunt delivering something like a cow at the small door, he took the initiative to drink the bowl of milk. He wanted to take a gamble, to make himself trust his aunt for once, to believe that she would not hurt anyone again...

He was very disappointed! He was sure that the figure must be his aunt, but he still couldn't bear to tell his mother and sister. He hoped that after knowing that he was almost killed, his aunt would be restrained, leave Baiyue, and never show up again.

The carriage shook, and Wei Longrui came to his senses, his lips tightly pursed with a sour feeling.

His mother and sister treated him very well. If it weren't for Aunt Yu, they would have been indifferent to him. He must work hard to pass the imperial examination and repay them sincerely in the future.

Under the scorching sun, Wei Longrui's heart was more peaceful than ever before. No matter whether the person he saw at the small door that day was his aunt, he had already placed her in the deepest part of his heart.

What he missed most was his graceful, gentle, kind and amiable aunt...

……

Wei Bingyan watched Wei Longrui's carriage disappear around the busy corner of the street before she slowly walked back to the inner courtyard.

Bai Binghui followed closely behind her, "Madam, the young master is having a sumptuous banquet tonight. Do you need someone to watch over it?"

Ever since they happened to meet Cheng Yang that day, Bai Binghui and Anxiang had been somewhat sensitive about Li Yuyan's whereabouts, always worried that he would do something that would make Wei Bingyan sad.

"What's so good about it? Don't bother with him." Wei Bingyan said lightly.

Bai Binghui responded, but decided to quietly warn Fusheng later, and to keep a close eye on the young master and not let that Cheng Yang take advantage of the opportunity.

When he appeared in Xiao's main room, he saw a woman wearing a horizontal tube skirt embroidered with wood lotus flowers walking out of the house.

This was the maid named Qingbo who claimed to be pregnant when she was almost kicked out by the Xiao family that day.

Wei Zhong has taken in many women over the past year, but only Qingbo's pregnancy was leaked. Naturally, she was treated differently. But for some reason, when Wei Bingyan saw her, she thought of the mocking smile on Li Xiaoshi's face that day.

"Aunt." When Qingbo's smiling eyes met Wei Bingyan's cold and indifferent gaze, his expression changed slightly and he bowed.

Wei Bingyan nodded lightly and went straight into the inner room.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and Wei Bingyan immediately left. When it was dark, Li Yuyan came back, with a faint smell of alcohol on her body, but without the pleasant fragrance of powder.

After bathing, Li Yuyan hugged Wei Bingyan and promised with all his strength that he would never annoy her again and would never hide what he did outside from her to avoid her worrying about him.

Deep down, Wei Bingyan was somewhat unhappy about Li Yuyan's use of Cheng Yang, but because she trusted him, she did not really make a fuss with him. Now that she heard what he said, she decided to let the matter go.

The next day, Wei Bingyan was drinking the sweet soup brought by Aunt Yin when she heard a reply from the room saying that it was Aunt Li from the Wei family who came.

What was Li Xiaoshi doing here at this time? Wei Bingyan raised her eyebrows in confusion and asked the maid to bring the person in.

Wei Bingyan took a spoon and gently stirred the sweet soup in the bowl, recalling Li Xiaoshi's mocking smile that day.

A soft breeze blew past the thin curtain, bringing with it a pleasant scent of watercolor. Then, a graceful figure appeared beside her. Wei Bingyan raised her upper jaw slightly and looked at the bright and delicate Li Xiaoshi without opening her mouth.

Today, Wei Bingyan was only wearing a light-colored, narrow-waisted brocade shirt with long sleeves and a tube skirt embroidered with green branches and scattered flowers. Her long, jet-black, flowing hair was simply tied up in a lazy bun, and a hairpin inlaid with soft jade and turquoise was deeply inserted, which made her bright and charming appearance look a bit indifferent.

A flash of excitement flashed across Li Xiaoshi's eyes. She knew that Wei Bingyan's outfit was always fresh and elegant, but she didn't expect that her elegance could reveal such a bright and charming look.

"Auntie." She bowed and said with a smile that was too polite, "I'm sorry for disturbing you today. Please don't blame me."

"Madame Li, please sit down." Wei Bingyan put down the spoon gently. "In the past, when I happened to meet Madam Li at the Wei family, I couldn't say a few words. Today, Madam Li's mother came to me in person, which surprised me very much."

Li Xiaoshi sat down on the drum chair opposite Wei Bingyan in a natural manner.

Bai Binghui served tea and snacks.

"There are some things that are inconvenient to say at home. Only when I come to my aunt's place can I talk about them without any taboos." Li Xiaoshi took a sip of tea, "It turns out that my aunt also likes fragrant tea."

"I just want to enjoy the intoxicating scent of flowers." Wei Bingyan said with a smile, "Madam Li, can you please tell me clearly?"

Li Xiaoshi held the cup with her snowy fingers and took a sip. "This lily has a fresh and non-cloying fragrance, and is good for a woman's appearance. My aunt really knows how to maintain her health."

Wei Bingyan closed her eyes slightly and looked at her, "Auntie Li is also studying hard for such a thing?"

"I have studied it diligently before, and some of the words sound nice, but the current reality is extremely cruel. I have to be careful." Li Xiaoshi replied with a smile.

Last year, she gave Li Xiaoshi medicine, many of which were made from fragrant flowers...
