Chapter 513 Finale (22)
Chapter 513 Finale (22)
Thinking of this, Cui'er's lost mood instantly brightened up, and she ran to the yard happily to water the flowers.
The afternoon sun shines through the lush peach trees in the courtyard, casting mottled shadows of flowers on the blue brick ground...
After the meal, Jiang Wantang began to feel sleepy.
Ji Wuyuan half-armed her waist, walked through the corridor, and took her back to the bedroom for a nap.
In the bedroom, on the bed, Jiang Wantang was sleeping soundly.
Even when she fell asleep, she still held his sleeve tightly, as if she was afraid that he would leave.
This was a subconscious action Jiang Wantang made when she slept, and she had done it before when she was in the palace.
At that time, Ji Wuyuan only felt that she was dependent on him and was reluctant to leave him. Later, he gradually understood that although she seemed cruel and ruthless, she was actually softer than anyone else.
I don't want to give my true heart and don't want to indulge in love, but I'm afraid of losing.
It's not dependence, but uneasiness.
So when he saw her clutching his sleeve tightly, Ji Wuyuan leaned over and kissed her forehead, his gentle and hoarse voice falling into her ears: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, always..."
The sleeping Jiang Wantang seemed to have really heard it and slowly let go of his hand.
Ji Wuyuan lay sideways beside her, supporting his head with one hand, staring quietly at the person on the couch.
Pregnant women are afraid of heat, so Ji Wuyuan fanned her.
Gradually, Jiang Wantang fell into a deep and sound sleep, but her eyes were tightly closed and the redness and swelling around her eyes had not completely subsided.
It was not until the sky outside gradually darkened that Ji Wuyuan got up from the bed and walked out of the house.
Outside the house, Cui'er was sitting in the yard watching.
Now that the girl has a son-in-law by her side, he doesn't need her to serve him personally.
So, she started doing needlework out of boredom.
Seeing this, Ji Wuyuan walked towards her and came to the stone table in the yard.
Cui'er was startled when she saw the tall figure suddenly appear, and the needle and thread in her hand almost pierced her finger.
"Aunt...Uncle..." She quickly put down the needle and thread in her hands, stood up and saluted.
Ji Wuyuan smiled gently and asked her to sit down and talk.
Cui'er had just sat down carefully when she heard him say, "Your name is Cui'er, right?"
Cui'er nodded, and her nervousness was obvious.
Ji Wuyuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, a gentle smile spread across his eyes, and his voice was as gentle as the spring breeze: "Miss Cui'er, there's no need to be so reserved..."
"My wife is here alone, which makes me worried."
"I wonder if she's been having a good time here these days? Has she... suffered any injustice? Has she been bullied?"
"Can you tell me something?"
Ji Wuyuan deliberately restrained his aura, and now he looked like a young master from an aristocratic family, with an elegant and unparalleled noble appearance. Coupled with his handsome face like a god, he was extremely deceptive.
Sure enough, when Cui'er heard this and saw how much he cared for her daughter, she treated him as her own and told him everything.
In addition, Ji Wuyuan was good at understanding people's hearts and guiding them step by step. He just said a few simple words to guide them, and even asked out the things that Cui'er had never told Jiang Wantang.
Ji Wuyuan listened attentively, tapping the stone table lightly with his slender fingertips. Although his tone was gentle, it revealed a hint of imperceptible coldness.
"You mean to say that there are people on the streets and in teahouses spreading rumors that my wife is a concubine of a wealthy family in the capital?"
Cui Er nodded vigorously, glanced in the direction of the bedroom, lowered her voice a bit, and said angrily: "That's right, those gossipy women were jealous of the girl's beauty, so they spread rumors that the girl must have been a concubine of a rich man in the capital, and was driven out of the capital by the wife of the principal wife, so she came to our small town in the south of the Yangtze River in disgrace..."
The smile on Ji Wuyuan's lips deepened, but his eyes were full of coldness: "Does Madam know?"
"I don't know." Cui Er shook her head. "I and the people in the building have kept it a secret from her. We haven't let her know about these awful things."
Ji Wuyuan said lightly, "Well done."
Cui'er's eyes widened and she was stunned. Is her uncle praising her? !
The girl felt a great sense of accomplishment and told everyone about those who had said bad things about her behind her back, as well as the colleagues who had tripped her up in business.
Although many of them were taught a lesson by the girls.
But so what? Her daughter now has the support of her husband.
Thinking of this, Cui'er felt her back became much straighter.
In the evening, the sun sets in the west...
The owner of the clinic, Madam Su, came to look for Jiang Wantang with the account book. When she walked into the courtyard and saw the young and handsome man standing with his hands behind his back in the corridor and the brand new furnishings, she was suddenly shocked.
Mrs. Su was stunned and subconsciously thought that she had walked into the wrong yard. She was about to apologize and turn away when Cui'er came out with a basin of freshly washed red fruits.
She smiled and said, "Madam Su is here..."
"The girl hasn't gotten up yet, please sit in the yard first."
After saying that, Cui'er placed the washed fruits on the stone table and invited Madam Su to come and sit over.
However, Madam Su knew at a glance that the red fruit on the stone table was not an ordinary one, at least it was impossible to find it in a small place like their Qingshui Town.
Before she was divorced by her husband's family, she was at least the concubine of a wealthy family in this town. Even when those wealthy families entertained guests, the more expensive fruits they served were grapes and oranges.
The banquet was also decorated with exquisite, small plates.
She had never seen such rosy, plump little fruits like the ones on the table.
What's more, it was such a big pot, as if it fell from the sky, without any cost.
And the new furnishings in this courtyard...
She had only been there for a few days, yet the ordinary yard suddenly became so luxurious.
Madam Su's heart tightened and alarm bells rang in her mind. Cui'er was young and didn't understand, but she had seen some of the world.
So, she quickly pulled Cui'er to her side and asked her in a low voice who the man in the yard was and why he suddenly appeared here...
Cui'er suddenly realized that she had forgotten to introduce herself.
So, she led Madam Su to Ji Wuyuan with a smile and said loudly: "Sir..."
"This is the owner of our clinic—Madam Su."
Son-in-law?!
What uncle? ! !
Where did this uncle come from? ! ! !
Mrs. Su was completely confused.
Could such a handsome young man be the new pretty boy that their wives have found?
Just as she was laughing awkwardly, not knowing how to react, Cui'er tugged at her and said, "Madam Su, this is our daughter's husband."
After saying that, he deliberately added: "Just came from the capital."
Hearing that someone was from the capital, Madam Su was shocked for a moment before she reacted and quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, my dear!"
