"Mm, you've grown up and are sensible. Let's stay at Donghan Courtyard tonight. What do you think?”
"Very good."
Wu Xi didn't say anything else and left everything up to them.
"Very good, then Second Aunt will bring you there. Let's take a look at the garden first. You didn't walk around much at home in the past, so you probably don't have a deep impression of many things. Although it's like a married daughter splashing water, one can't forget their roots.”
This second aunt was really a person who hid a knife behind her smile. She wanted to make a move on her so quickly.
It was not that easy to pick on her. She, Wu Xi, was not someone who could be easily bullied. However, her second aunt's words also represented the thoughts of the Hengguo family. It was easy to hate Murong Fei when everyone was sitting around, but it was not good for her to fall out with the Heng family.
It's not good for Dong Fang Yi to fall out now
"Auntie, you must be joking. Isn't Wuxi back?”
"Yes, yes, yes. Old Master, my wife is bringing Wuxi out for a walk now. She can also hang out with her brothers and sisters at the same time.”
"Alright, go ahead. Wuxi, if you need anything, just tell your aunt.”
"Wuxi knows."
From the beginning to the end, no one other than the Duke of Hengguo had spoken up. However, Wu Xi was even more certain of this woman's status and weight in the Hengguo residence.
"Wuxi, let's go to the peach blossom garden first and then visit your second uncle's sisters.”
"Second Aunt, Wu Xi only wants to see the courtyard. If there's no special reason, Wu Xi doesn't want to go.”
The second aunt frowned slightly. She had thought that Wu Xi had lived a life of her own in this residence before, so she was very unwilling to interact with others. Little did she know that she was really too lazy to do this. It was a waste of time.
"I know that you weren't familiar with the sisters in the past. Isn't this an opportunity?"”
"Second Aunt, how can a dozen years be resolved in one go?”
She was stunned for a moment and looked at Wu Xi thoughtfully.
He had originally thought that using the kinship card to win her heart over would make it easier for her to disintegrate her coldness with people of the same generation. He did not expect her to reject him directly.
After chatting for a while, they arrived at the peach and plum garden. This garden had nothing to do with peaches and plums. It was only because the Hengguo Manor was born from the scholarly faction and hoped that its disciples would fill the land that it had given this name.
After a few more turns, Second Aunt brought Wu Xi to the top of a small lake.
It was an elegant wooden bridge structure. There were fish and prawns in the lake, and it looked like the water was clear and the grass was green, happy and peaceful.
There was no one around, and the wind and grass could feel it.
This was the best place to talk about secret matters.
"Although we weren't very close in the past, we're still family after all. Blood is thicker than water.”
"Yes."
Wu Xi hummed lightly and stopped talking. She was waiting for what kind of flowers this second aunt would release later.
The second aunt elegantly stretched out her hand and sprinkled some feed on the water surface with her lotus fingers. A group of carp surrounded her and fought to snatch it.
She said," Although your woman married into Prince Yong's residence, your blood is surnamed Murong. Prince Yong can have thousands of wives that can be changed continuously, but there is only one Seventh Miss. No matter how you change, you can't change her. You have to think about this clearly."”
"Wu Xi doesn't understand what Second Aunt is saying.”
Hmph, it would be strange if she didn't understand. Wu Xi's heart was as clear as a mirror.
What this second aunt meant was that the Hengguo Manor was on the Crown Prince's side, and King Yong was the Crown Prince's opponent, so he was their enemy. Wu Xi's performance in front of the Empress Dowager that day made the Hengguo Manor feel that Wu Xi was still somewhat important.
The position of the Crown Prince could not tolerate the slightest threat from others. Even an uncertain factor had to be eliminated. That was why Second Aunt had pulled her to this place to say these words.
Wu Xi sneered in her heart. Blood was thicker than water, but unfortunately, she had always been bloodthirsty.
The second aunt glanced at Wu Xi as if she was trying to figure something out. Wu Xi quietly looked at the fish in the water. After eating the food, the fish scattered.
"Wuxi, you're a smart person. You should know very well whether you choose to live or die. It's your choice whether it's a husband who doesn't love you or your family.”
"Second Aunt is right. If you don't love her, there's nothing to miss. Don't worry, Second Aunt. Wuxi knows what to do.”
The one she loved was Dong Fang Yi. The others were all superfluous to her.
He would kill anyone who stood in his way, just so that he could be satisfied.
"Aunt, so you're here. When are you going to give me the jade scepter you promised me?”
Just as Wu Xi and her second aunt were looking at each other, a woman ran up to her and tugged at her second aunt's sleeve.
Wu Xi sized her up for a while. She was about the same age as herself, dressed luxuriously, had a peach blossom face, almond-shaped eyes, and a face full of spring light. She must have been favored in the Hengguo Manor.
"Ling Yue, look at you, such a disrespectful Second Aunt who is ashamed of you. Why don't you greet your Seventh Sister?”
"Seventh Sister?"
Ling Yue turned her head back to look at Wu Xi, her eyes sizing her up from head to toe, with a look of contempt and disdain.
"Seventh Sister? Why didn't I know that I had a seventh sister? I only remember sixth sister.”
"Your Seventh Older Sister is King Yong's concubine, and this time, she came home to rebel.”
"Oh, it's that one who only used eight palanquins to carry over. It seems that there isn't even much betrothal gift. Third Older Sister is still a little better. The other person was only married off to a minister, and it was carried over by sixteen palanquins with gongs and drums.”
Ling Yue gave a humph and leaned on her Second Aunt's shoulder to say: ""I don't know why Prince Yong chose this ugly and cheap woman to be his concubine. Could it be that he wanted to wipe his mouth after eating and dump her?
Although she is only worthy of this, our family is still a big family. If we don't look at the monk's face, we have to look at the Buddha's face. I don't know what will happen to a person like her in the future.”
Wu Xi did not say a word but Second Aunt's ears seemed to have heard something wrong and she slapped Ling Yue across the face, causing her tender little face to turn red.
The little girl covered her face in disbelief. Her second aunt said,"You little girl, it's fine if you don't know how to behave, but why do you have so many cheap words in your mouth? She's your sister, so what if she's cheap?”
With a shout, Ling Yue covered her face and ran off crying.
This act was a little too fake. Ling Yue was fake, and so was this Second Aunt.
"Wuxi, I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. Don't take your sister's words to heart.”
"Aunt, I'm tired. Can I go back to my room to rest?”
"Of course, just remember Second Aunt's words. I'll get someone to send you back.”
"Don't bother Second Aunt. Wuxi knows how to get back.”
Although it was her first time in this courtyard, she relied on her instincts and found her residence in a short while. Xiao Zhuo and Yun Yun had already stayed there for a while.
"Miss, they didn't make things difficult for you, right?”
"Yes, who is that second aunt?"
Little Zhuo sucked in a breath of cold air, as if the word "second aunt" was like a ferocious beast.
Wu Xi glanced at her coldly, and Little Zhuo's face turned even paler. She knew that Wu Xi's patience was starting to run out again, so she quickly said,"Young Lady, Second Mistress is Second Master's wife. In the Hengguo Manor, she can be said to be the number one. Eldest Mistress and the old woman do not interfere in the matters of the manor, big or small.
