Chapter 244 The Woman Making Lotus Cakes
The second wife of the Wen family was notoriously cold and aloof. She was on good terms with everyone, but she had no close friendship with anyone. In addition, Wen Changling was deeply in love with his deceased wife, so the second wife seemed to be more and more inconspicuous, as if she had lost her sense of existence. At this moment, she suddenly attacked with a smile on her face and pressed forward step by step, which caught Wang off guard.
With the teacup still in her hand and not having time to drink it, Wang was staring at the other person's indifferent smile in a daze. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word - this lady of the Wen family was also a kind-faced but cruel person. She greeted him with an expression of "What a nice weather today", but between the lines, she showed that the Wen family was not pushovers. The Wen family had the money to support a girl, and they had people in the court who could report you to the Kejing Marquis's Mansion.
Wang couldn't believe that Wen Qian was not the biological daughter of this second wife. She was also a person who liked to say harsh words with a smile, as if she adhered to the principle of not hitting a smiling person. She smiled more beautifully than anyone else, and her mouth was more vicious than anyone else.
Divorce? Not to mention this marriage granted by the imperial decree, a divorce also needs the consent of His Majesty. As for Wen Yuan... He is in high spirits, how can he divorce? She was just saying this in anger to intimidate him, but now she is in a difficult situation. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then pulled the corner of her mouth, "Madam, you misunderstood, I don't mean that, I really think Qianqian needs to rest after being frightened by my son, but the situation in the mansion is like this, and it is indeed difficult to take good care of her, so I thought of bringing my daughter-in-law back to live for a while."
She used to call her Miss Wen and Mrs. Wen, but now she changed her address.
Madam Wen frowned and chuckled. She raised the teacup beside her, and her smile became gentler. "What are you talking about? It's her husband who was injured. If she doesn't take care of him, who will? I heard that my cousin is staying at home recently. Can I trouble you and Madam to take care of the injured together? Although we are all thinking about the child, outsiders don't know the inside story and think that my girl is ignorant of etiquette, disrespectful to her parents-in-law, and unfriendly to her husband. Don't you think so?"
"It's okay for my daughter Qianqian. She has had a hard life since she was young. She has suffered all kinds of grievances. She doesn't care about these gossips... But this cousin is still a virgin. She is almost old enough to get married, right? If something gets out at this critical moment... the impact will be huge, madam, don't you think?"
This is pretending to be confused, pretending to understand!
Wang curled her lips and said sarcastically, "My daughter-in-law has a mother like you who takes care of everything for her, so her life is not miserable."
As if she was completely unaware of the other party's sarcasm, Mrs. Wen smiled good-naturedly, "It's well known that being a stepmother is difficult. I have to be careful every day for fear of being biased. Sometimes I would rather give more to Ningning and give the good things to Qianqian. I don't need her to remember my kindness. I just hope that when people talk about it, they don't say that I treat my young daughter harshly."
Wang laughed perfunctorily, with a fake smile on her face, and did not respond. Madam Wen also stopped talking. After all, she was not a talkative person. This time, she was a little angry because someone pushed her nose to the ground. The two of them drank half a cup of tea with their own thoughts. She stood up and asked, "Why don't you ask a servant to take me to see Qianqian? No matter if I can see her or not, I have been there, and I can explain to her father and grandfather later."
Wang nodded and asked Nanny Sun to take them there. However, when she arrived in the yard, she did not see the two children. Instead, she heard a maid nearby say that the young master had taken Miss Wen to the street to buy lotus cakes, saying that his aunt liked to eat them.
Wen Yizhuo, maybe he took after his father, he was smart, clever, lively and lovable, but he was also more careful than other children. Besides, Wen Ning was with him, so Madam Wen was not worried about his safety. She nodded and said, "Then please let Madam Sun lead the way. I'll go over and take a look myself... Children are like this, they act on impulse. There's no need to rush for Lotus Pastry... When he insisted on staying at the Bo's Mansion, he must have disturbed Madam and the servants, right?"
"You are too polite. It's not true." Nanny Sun leaned over and chuckled. "The young master is lively and cute. I like him very much. But the young master is basically in Luofengxuan. I want to see him more often but I can't."
"That's right here, I'm being restrained!" Mrs. Wen greeted with a smile.
……
Wen Yizhuo was also unlucky. The shop that Wen Qian often went to was closed today. Wen Yizhuo dragged Wen Ning around to find several dim sum shops. Maybe the little guy was not happy. In Wen Ning's opinion, the taste was obviously the same, but he always felt it was not right. He also said that the little aunt was picky and would definitely not like it. Wen Ning also let him go from shop to shop without any impatience. Instead, the little guy pouted as he watched.
Wen Ning raised her hand and patted his head, comforting him, "Then it will be the same if we come back tomorrow to buy. The shop will definitely be open tomorrow. What do you think?"
The child who used to be very talkative was now hesitant and unwilling to leave. A woman wearing a veil came out from the alley in front of him. She had her long hair tied up loosely with a bamboo chopstick. She walked hurriedly and almost bumped into him. She smiled in a daze, "Little guy, do you want to eat lotus cake? I'll make it for you!"
The veiled woman who almost bumped into them while walking suddenly proposed to make lotus cakes for them, which seemed a bit strange. Wen Ning was about to refuse, but the little guy nodded hurriedly, tilting his head and speaking in a very clear voice, "It's not me who wants to eat it, it's my aunt who wants to eat it. They said my aunt was injured, and she likes to eat lotus cakes. I think she will be fine after eating them." She spoke childishly in a baby voice, but her little face was very serious.
The strange woman said "Oh" lightly, and then looked at Wen Ning who was alert. "The child's wish may not be important to adults. It's just a lotus crisp. What does it matter if you eat it a day earlier or a day later? But it's not the same for the child. If this wish is not fulfilled today, it may become a vague, inexplicable regret for many years to come. If you are worried, take the young master here to wait for a while. I will borrow the kitchen of this shop to make a lotus crisp. It won't take long."
The woman was wearing a veil, but her eyes were bright and outgoing. When she said this, her voice was a little slow and there was an indescribable loneliness in it, as if she was talking about her own old memories... Who doesn't have such regrets? Never mentioned, and never let go, only in the perfect night, a sigh is emitted for no reason.
For no reason, Wen Ning nodded and said, "If you don't mind, I and the kid will go in with you so we can take a break." He also kept an eye on her to prevent her from being poisoned.
