PNB Chapter 143 Cousin, who is coming?
Chapter 143 Cousin, who is coming?
Shen's mother and daughter and Fu Wanying returned to the Duke's Mansion on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month. The days passed slowly, and the first lunar month was over in the blink of an eye.
The two little girls lived in the courtyard of the old lady of the Wei family. They were companions. After a few days, the two sisters became good friends who could talk about anything.
Qin Beiyu has now become a frequent visitor to the Mansion of the Duke of Fuguo. He would come here after the morning court session every day, or come to see the little girl when he came back from work. Gradually, he would try to please the little girl more or less, and bring her some delicious and fun things!
Wei Wanlin would also find different ways every day to make his fiancée Fu Wanying happy. Later, if Qin Beiyu brought back something delicious or fun, he would always give half of it to his fiancée Fu Wanying!
Qin Beiyu couldn't help but tease: I'm not just trying to coax a cousin, I also have to coax a cousin's sister!
Wei Wanlin grinned: "Didn't your cousin's sister-in-law borrow the money from your cousin? You can buy one or two, anyway, you have plenty of money, right?"
The second day of the second month is almost here, and the house is decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, because the Dragon Raising its Head is also a big day in this era.
The two young girls in the Duke's Mansion had their arm injuries basically removed by splints, but they were still being watched closely and were not allowed to lift heavy objects to prevent further injuries.
The two little girls had a very good relationship. Every day when they were free, they would accompany the old lady of the Wei family, eat, chat and have snacks with her, making the old lady of the Wei family smile all the time.
Wei Zhendong was very happy, and Wei Wanlin was even happier. His fiancée Wanying got along very well with his sister, stepmother and grandmother. Although they had not yet married, they didn't have to worry about getting married in the future. Wanying was not used to the life in the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion!
During this period, Fu Chengen came to deliver things twice, both times he brought some clothes for his daughter, and he also brought some nutritional supplements to the old lady of the Wei family, and personally thanked the old lady for taking care of his eldest daughter.
This incident became a good story in the capital. Everyone said that Lady Wei liked her future granddaughter-in-law. Her granddaughter-in-law was injured and persecuted by her stepmother. She was worried about the little girl returning home, so she kept her in her yard. Everyone said that Lady Wei was a kind old lady!
Today, Shen Ruyi saw her eldest brother coming back to look for her sister Wanying after the morning court session, so she quickly went back to her room.
Shen Ruyi was also looking forward to her cousin coming to see her. After all, her cousin came every day. He would probably come today after he was done with his work. She had told her cousin yesterday that she wanted to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts.
I guess my cousin hasn't come for so long, so he went to buy chestnuts for me?
Sure enough, near noon, Shen Ruyi finally waited for her long-awaited cousin Qin Beiyu!
Qin Beiyu walked into the house wearing a crane cloak, untied the cloak and hung it on the shelf, holding an oil-paper bag. Looking at the little girl's sweet smile and sitting there reading a book, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and his eyes were full of tenderness!
"Ruyi, your cousin found the chestnuts you wanted to eat for you. The chestnuts sold by that store were not fried very well in the first two batches. I waited until this batch was fried well before I bought it back. Did I keep you waiting for a long time?"
Shen Ruyi smiled sweetly in her heart, "Thank you for your hard work, cousin. My hands are not very useful. Otherwise, can you help me pick two chestnuts? I have been craving for these chestnuts for many days!"
The man looked at his greedy cousin and felt his heart tingling: "Okay! Then I'll give one to my cousin and one to my brother!"
Shen Ruyi smiled like a little fox: "No! Cousin, eat two, and cousin, eat one..."
The man laughed angrily: "What if my cousin's teeth fall out?"
The little girl was waiting to receive the chestnut kernels with her white little hands. Her greedy look was so adorable that the man really wanted to give his life to her!
The cousins were happily eating chestnuts. Qin Beiyu casually said, "Cousin, stay and have dinner with Ruyi today, right? Cousin, let me feed you. I see that there are guests at the house in front. They say that your uncle and his family are here. I guess the county lady and uncle will entertain them..."
Shen Ruyi...
"Cousin, who did you say is here?"
Qin Beiyu said nonchalantly, "I heard from the fifth uncle who is in charge that it was your eldest uncle, your eldest aunt and your two cousins who came with him.
I didn’t even enter the main room, I came directly to your place…”
Shen Ruyi was completely confused. She had been in the body of the original owner since she was six years old. She had never met her uncles before! How come her uncle and his family could suddenly come to their house?
Shen Ruyi instantly had a bad feeling. Her uncles ignored her mother at the beginning. She heard from her mother that it was because of her maternal grandfather that the dowry given to her mother accounted for one-third of the family property, which caused her two uncles and aunt to hold a grudge against her. So after her mother got married, they stopped interacting with her!
Later, after his maternal grandfather passed away, his two uncles abandoned his mother. After they sold their property, they moved to Yunnan Prefecture and ignored his mother at all.
We have been separated for many years, why did he suddenly come to my house? This matter seems to be complicated.
Who is Shen Ruyi? She is quite smart. If a distant relative suddenly comes to see you, it is impossible to say that there is no trickery involved!
Shen Ruyi threw a chestnut kernel into her mouth, her eyes rolled around, and a plan came to her mind!
The little girl smiled innocently and said, "Cousin, let's go to the front to see my eldest uncle. I don't remember him since I was six years old. I still have uncles and aunts. How could I have an uncle? My mother never told me about it. This is too weird!"
Qin Beiyu laughed angrily: "Ruyi, you only remember things since you were six years old. No wonder you only remember that your elder brother and I stole the dates from your house!"
Shen Ruyi was so angry that she laughed: "Haha! Of course I remember it, otherwise how could I run to your house and steal your father's and mother's love!"
Qin Beiyu...
As expected, she came for revenge. The little boy had been holding a grudge against her since then. No wonder she had robbed him and Wan Lin of their fatherly and motherly love!
Shen Ruyi stood obediently as Qin Beiyu put a cloak on her and tied a ribbon around her. Then he slowly walked out of the house with the little girl.
Shen Ruyi was dissatisfied with his slow pace, so she rushed forward at a high pace. Qin Beiyu was so angry that he started to complain again: "Ruyi, you can't walk so fast, your arm has just gotten better!"
"Cousin, you walk too slowly. How can you lead troops to fight at this speed? Your speed is comparable to that of a snail. If you move to the battlefield, the enemy will probably fall asleep..."
Qin Beiyu...
Shen Ruyi went to the main hall in front. As soon as she entered, she saw a family of strangers sitting nearby.
Shen Ruyi was almost laughing out of anger. When she looked up, she saw her father and mother sitting at the top, looking awkward and unhappy.
The middle-aged man and woman sitting next to them, and the fat dark woman were eating the cakes on the table with great enthusiasm!
Two young men were sitting there, also eating cakes with big mouthfuls, looking as if it was normal. However, with their shiny dark skin, they looked like the stupid sons of a landlord!
The middle-aged man in the lead was a slightly fat, dark-faced man. It could be seen that his appearance had nothing in common with his mother, Shen!
He said in a muffled voice: "Yu'er, tell me if our father was senile and confused. He left you so much wealth, shouldn't you give some to your elder brother?
Big brother is the eldest son in the family! You, a girl, took so much family wealth in exchange for a county lord position, which is hereditary. You are the only girl in your family, do you want to let someone from another family inherit the position of county lord?
Big brother has decided to adopt your eldest nephew Su Zhongfa to you, and let him inherit your position as county lord in the future!
Yu'er, can you still watch our Shen family die out? Our father left you so many things, but he did it without telling us brothers. Do you think this is fair to us brothers?"
Shen sat there without saying a word. She looked at her eldest brother with no emotion in her eyes, but she was a kind person and could not say anything. It was true that her father had left a lot of wealth to her, which was indeed a bit cruel to her two brothers, but her Ruyi was her life!
When Shen looked up and was about to speak, she saw her daughter coming: "Ruyi, why are you here?
They...they are your uncle's family..."
Shen Ruyi's pretty little appearance stunned Uncle Shen's family at once. In fact, when they saw the fair-skinned and beautiful Shen, they almost didn't recognize her. Now they were even more shocked when they saw Shen Ruyi!
Shen Ruyi looked at the dumbfounded family. She smiled contemptuously and couldn't help laughing in her heart: Stupid! How dare you come and cause trouble with your rank?
