The champion's spicy wife 006 must be very happy and carefree
If, in this life, you no longer like me, then I'll like you for a lifetime, just like in your past life. In my heart, I'll secretly like you, watching you get married and have children, watching you become the top student in high school! Watching you rise to prominence, watching you enjoy a lifetime of glory, I will also be very happy.
"Miss, why are you smiling so foolishly?"
Xie Wenjing suddenly saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of her.
"It's nothing, just taking a look. The young man opposite who reads books every day, what does he look like? Is he as dark as you said?"
Xie Wenjing put down her tiptoes and indulged in her curiosity.
"Didn't I tell you? He's really dark-skinned! Miss, what were you thinking, wanting to see him? If Master and Madam find out, it'll be trouble!"
Although Zhihua is still a young maid, she also understands the importance of avoiding suspicion. The eldest miss is a renowned lady in the manor after all! How could she be so foolish as to stare at a strange young man reading a book? If others were to find out, the miss's reputation would be ruined.
"Alright, I won't look anymore. I'll go back right away. Don't tell anyone! And besides, he's not black at all!" Xie Wenjing glared fiercely at Zhi Hua, as if threatening her not to leak the secret.
Miss, I promise not to tell anyone, but look, Mei Lan also saw it! And Du Ma saw it too!
As Zhī Huà's implication, Xiè Wénjìng's mouth twitched, and indeed, her own peeping behavior was caught red-handed by the three people closest to her.
Xie Wenjing felt a bit embarrassed, at this time herself, although still young, twelve years old, but seven-year-old boys and girls couldn't sit together.
In Du's mother's eyes, doesn't Xu Yin's behavior of secretly peeking at him count as a small red apricot wanting to come out of the wall?
"Miss, come back quickly, Old Madam is bringing your cousin over to see you, hurry and follow me back." Du Mama had just returned from reporting the miss's situation to Auntie's main courtyard when Auntie suddenly decided to bring her own niece over to take a look.
Du's mother felt a little comforted in her heart. Although Auntie was not Miss's biological grandmother, after Miss's biological grandmother passed away, this aunt treated Miss no differently.
However, when Du's mother hurried back to comfort her and prepare to welcome her aunt with the young lady, she found that the young lady was not admiring flowers by the flower bed in the courtyard, but had gone around to the back of the small kitchen to watch the young master from the neighboring family read.
This won't do, if Auntie finds out, she'll think Miss is behaving improperly! Hurriedly came over to pull Miss around the small kitchen and back to Miss's room, quickly helping Miss tidy up her makeup.
Xie Wenjing was pulled back into the house by Du's mother, knowing that she had acted rashly.
In this world where reputation is more important than heaven, a woman's reputation is even more crucial. Once it gets out that a woman had private interactions with a man before marriage or had an affair with a man before marriage, the outcome is usually tragic.
Even if it was the previous generation, they adhered to their duties. Even when doing business, every time they met someone, they would bring a wet nurse with them to meet guests together. When discussing business with customers, they would also be separated by a screen. Unless it was a woman discussing business, there would be no screen in between.
Being so cautious, there were still many rumors about herself. Even though she often took out money to help the poor and donated to disaster relief, she still earned the title of "First Shrew of Yangzhou".
Still need to be careful, can't let Xu Yin misunderstand himself because of his bold behavior, thinking that he is easy to get along with, after all, he is still the young lady in the eyes of the world, and there is still an engagement on him!
Xie Wenjing smiled wryly and took a deep breath, but couldn't calm down.
Being too anxious may ultimately prevent one from getting what they want.
"Remember, Zhi Hua and Mei Lan, the young lady has just gotten up and hasn't gone anywhere yet, so don't talk too much, got it?"
Du's mother seriously instructed the two little maids.
Zhi Hua and Mei Lan both nodded their heads in agreement.
"Miss, you should also remember that you just got out of bed and forget what happened before. It's not timely and will affect your reputation. You can't do that again, understand?"
Du's mother gently reminded Xie Wenjing.
Xie Wenjing also nodded obediently, indeed she was too reckless. This made Du's mother anxious.
"Uh-huh, Aunt Du, I'll do it next time!"
Du's mother felt much more at ease, and with satisfaction she gazed at the lovely face of her daughter in the mirror, whose complexion had also regained its healthy rosy glow. Such a clever and charming young girl should be loved by all who laid eyes on her.
Before long, under Du's mother's leadership, Zhihua and Meilan each supported one of Xie Wenjing's arms and came out to welcome their aunt.
All that can be seen is an elderly woman with a lingering charm, dressed in finery and adorned with dignified and dazzling accessories, her round face giving off a kind impression.
By her left hand, she was holding a nine-year-old girl who was so pitiful that anyone would want to pity her. It was the young Pei Yezhu, slender and pale, with a shy face, especially those eyes, sparkling like water, making anyone who saw her unable to help but feel sorry for her.
"Old madam! Young mistress!" Du's mother led the way in making a bow.
"Old madam! Young mistress!" Zhi Hua and Mei Lan followed closely behind, paying their respects.
"Grandma!" Xie Wenjing gave a proper and respectful bow to the old woman.
Won't be infatuated with this seemingly kind grandmother like in past life again.
Although she hated her to the bone, her own past tragedy was actually brought about by her own hands.
But basic courtesy, Xie Wenjing can still do it.
This old woman was originally the concubine sister of her grandmother. After her grandmother's death, she was promoted by her grandfather and became his legitimate wife, naturally becoming Xie Wenjing's grandmother, no longer just an aunt-grandmother.
"Hurry back home and don't catch a cold again. Have you been eating well these few days?"
This benevolent-looking old lady scolded Xie Wenjing while showing great concern for her diet.
"As for Grandma's words, granddaughter has been eating well and sleeping well these days, the illness is almost gone. Tomorrow, I want to go see Father and Mother, can I?"
Xie Wenjing endured the toothache and dealt with the extremely cunning old woman in front of her.
At this moment, I am very grateful to her and also trust her deeply for recalling my past life.
However, she figured out her intention today. She would hint to herself that following her uncle's business to make money not only could rely on her uncle's business to support this declining family but also tarnish her own reputation. She was sold by herself and said she was the closest person to herself.
"Wenjing, listen to your grandmother's words, wait a few more days before going to see your parents. You're growing up too, you know it hasn't been easy for your father these past two years, and he's only alive thanks to those precious medicines."
His body is no match for ordinary people, not even a child's body can compare to his, so I let him live in the quiet bamboo garden and ordered the family members not to disturb him.
"Don't worry, your father doesn't know that you're sick. I'll get your mother to tell him that you've gone to Hangzhou with your uncle. Wait a few days until you're fully recovered, then go see your father. When you do, don't mention this, or it will make your father anxious, understand?"
Listen, who wouldn't be grateful for such a thoughtful grandmother after hearing this?
That life of mine was manipulated by such a grandmother, with my reputation completely ruined.
