Qu Qing Ju sat high up in the side hall, her eyes calmly looking at the two women sitting below her. She had seen Wei Ran Shuang before. As to this Wei Qin shi that insisted on seeing her, Qu Qing Ju strangely felt that she had the same aura as Liang shi.
"When His Highness Duan Wang was young, he carried our yahuan on his back. Now that so many years have passed, His Highness Duan Wang is already married, and our yahuan is about to be married," Wei Qin shi sighed and forced herself to say to Qu Qing Ju, "Time passes so quickly."
Qu Qing Ju smiled and motioned for Wei Qin shi to continue.
Seeing that Duan Wang Fei was still unmoved, Wei Qin shi hated her for sitting so still. She took a sip of tea and continued: "At the end of last year, our family returned to Jing. It was all thanks to His Highness Duan Wang that our family received a pretty good assignment. Shuang yahuan, as biaomei, has always remembered His Highness Duan Wang's benevolence. But due to the differences between men and women, we haven't had the chance to meet. Today, we will first give our thanks to wang fei. If we are fated, we will personally give our thanks to wang ye. "
Wei Ran Shuang took the opportunity to stand and crouch in a curtsy towards Qu Qing Ju, "Ran Shuang thanks biaoge, thanks biaosao."
Qu Qing Ju felt her teeth were sore. She looked at the color of the sky outside and then at the mother and daughter who had been sitting for almost four hours. These two were probably waiting for He Heng to return. She smiled, replying, "Biaomei, you don't have to be so courteous. As a gege and sao, it is only right to treat meimei and the family better."
"Wang fei is virtuous," Wei Qin shi took the opportunity to continue. She said with a thick face, "Shuang yahuan has always liked His Highness Duan Wang, her biaoge. She was afraid that you would laugh at her. Even now, she still remembers the care that His Highness Duan Wang had given her in the past."
How thick did a person's skin have to be to say to another woman that her daughter liked her husband? Qu Qing Ju jerked the corner of her mouth. She had heard that this Wei Qin shi and Qin Bai Lu were of the same lineage but were separated by a distance. This Qin Family was a scholarly family. Why did a woman like Wei Qin shi have to appear?
Behind Qu Qing Ju, Yin Liu listened to these words. The anger on her face almost couldn't be disguised. She was afraid that wang fei would be troubled so she suppressed it. However, her eyes as she looked at the mother and daughter of the Wei Family became colder.
"Ha ha," Qu Qing Ju raised a teacup to take a sip, suppressing her laughter, "Wang ye hasn't mentioned biao mei to me."
The smile on Wei Qin shi's face froze. She then said: "Wang ye is busy with a myriad of affairs every day. How could he remember these small matters when he returned to the fu?"
"What does Madame Wei mean?" Qu Qing Ju's face darkened, "Wang ye is just an imperial son, he doesn't have so many affairs to attend to. Even more, wang ye often stays in zhengyuan and always tells me about family matters. Why does it sound like you're saying that wang ye doesn't want to talk about matters with ben wang fei?"
Wei Qin shi stilled. She really hadn't thought that Duan Wang Fei would suddenly change her face without any warning. It took her a beat to recover, "Wang fei, please forgive me. Chen fu didn't have such intentions."
Wei Ran Shuang's face was deathly pale as she bowed to Qu Qing Ju: "Wang fei, please don't be angry. Mother didn't mean it, and didn't mean it."
"We're all relatives, there's no need to be so serious," Qu Qing Ju's expression eased and she smiled again. She motioned for Wei Ran Shuang to sit before continuing, "Wei furen doesn't have such intentions. Naturally, it's good."
Wei Qin shi had never seen a person change face so quickly. Now that Qu Qing Ju was smiling, she could only smile along: "Chen fu doesn't know how to speak. Luckily, wang fei doesn't mind. Wang fei is very tolerant."
"If a normal person didn't mean it, I wouldn't be angry," Qu Qing Ju smiled wryly, "Isn't biao mei serving by mufei's side? Why did you leave the palace?"
Wei Ran Shuang answered in a small voice: "Guifei niangniang was worried that the family would miss me and sent me back to the fu." Was wang fei saying that they were just normal people, and not worth fussing over?
"En, mufei is usually very considerate," Qu Qing Ju examined Wei Ran Shuang, "I see that your body is slightly thin and weak. When you return to your own fu, you should nourish yourself." Finishing, she had Rui Xiang and Shu Kui go get some good herbs for Wei Qin shi to take back.
"How could I let wang fei spend money," Wei Qin shi stood and gave her thanks. She saw that the sky outside was getting darker but no one had come in to report that wang ye had returned. She was slightly impatient but she wanted to continue waiting. She could only thicken her skin and not bid farewell.
Qu Qing Ju wasn't in a hurry. She was waiting for He Heng to return. Such an interesting pair of women, if she didn't let He Heng have a taste, how could she be worthy of the torment she had suffered this afternoon?
Wei Ran Shuang couldn't sit still. Even though her heart was in love with Duan Wang, but her skin was a bit thin. Seeing wang fei smile sardonically at her, she felt her face burn and didn't dare to meet Qu Qing Ju's eyes.
At this time, Xiao Gan Zi hurriedly walked in. He bowed to Qu Qing Ju and said in a light voice: "Wang fei, wang ye has returned."
Wei Ran Shuang's eyes instantly lit up. She slightly raised her head to look at Duan Wang Fei. She saw the other give a bright smile. Even though she was a woman, she had to admit that Duan Wang Fei was very attractive.
"Since wang ye has returned, why don't we bow to wang ye," Wei Qin shi put on the posture of an elder as she sat on the chair and said, "Chen fu hasn't seen His Highness for many years."
At this time, Xiao Gan Zi was standing with his back bowed. When he heard Wei Qin shi's words, the corners of his mouth twitched disdainfully. No wonder this Wei Family xiaojie was so petty. With such a mother, what good daughter could she raise?
An aunt that wasn't close, she didn't feel embarrassed to put on the posture of an elder for wang fei. Just because she had some color, she wanted to open a dye shop. She didn't even look at her own status.
"Wang ye has arrived."
Qu Qing Ju stood and saw He Heng striding in her direction. She smiled as she went to greet him. The two's hands naturally clasped together, "Today, I came back a bit later than usual."
"There were a lot of things to do, I've made you wait a long time," He Heng led his people to sit at the front before looking at Wei Qin shi and Wei Ran Shuang who were standing below, "Wei furen and Wei xiaojie, how come you have the time to come to ben wang fu?" For this kind of person, he didn't need to be courteous. The presence of a wang ye naturally came out.
Wei Qin shi strangely felt awe and respect. She gave He Heng a bow, "Ever since I returned to Jing, I haven't been able to see wang ye and wang fei. Today, I have brought my daughter to greet wang fei."
"It's rare for you to come. Wang fei and Wei xiaojie have met in the palace," He Heng raised Qu Qing Ju's teacup to take a sip. He said faintly, "According to mufei's ancestors, you are ben wang's elder. How can it be you who comes to visit us?"
"How can we compare to wang ye," Wei Qin shi's tone was much more courteous. She carefully said, "Adding on that Shuang yahuan mentioned the matters of wang ye when you were young, chenfu brought yahuan along."
He Heng's hand that was holding the teacup paused. What did these words mean? He tilted his head to look at Qu Qing Ju. As expected, the other's smile had a hint of coldness. His brows furrowed as he commented, "Wei xiaojie and ben wang have only met a few times when we were young. Wei furen's words, it's not very appropriate."
Wei Qin shi could hear that Duan Wang didn't have that kind of intention towards her daughter. The smile on her face was slightly ugly. A beat later, she said: "Wang ye is too serious. You are cousins, what need is there to worry so much?"
He Heng expressionlessly replied: "Men are grown and women are guarded, it's human nature."
"Yin Liu, get someone to bring hot water for wang ye to wash his hands," Qu Qing Ju stood to look outside, "It's getting late, it's time for the evening meal. Why don't the two of you stay for a meal?"
Wei Qin shi could see that Duan Wang wasn't interested in her daughter at the moment and didn't have any intentions of staying. She smiled as she stood, declaring: "I won't disturb wang ye and wang fei, chenfu will leave first."
"Take care, I won't send you off," He Heng nodded slightly, not saying a word to keep her. This made Wei Qin shi's heart even colder. She understood that there was no hope for this matter.
Coming out of Duan Wang Fu, Wei Qin shi and Wei Ran Shuang sat on the carriage heading back to the fu. Wei Qin shi sighed. She said to her daughter sitting beside her: "Originally, I hadn't seen this Duan Wang Fei. Seeing you today, the matter of you entering Duan Wang Fu will most likely have many twists and turns." She might have wanted her daughter to enter Duan Wang Fu, but from the time Duan Wang entered the door to the time they left, he hadn't even looked directly at her daughter. He didn't think much of her at all.
"Daughter knows," Wei Ran Shuang bit the corner of her lips, "But mother, daughter wants to enter Duan Wang Fu."
Wei Qin shi sighed. A long while later, she said: "Let's think of other ways."
Inside Duan Wang Fu, Qu Qing Ju washed her hands, not saying a word.
"Angry?" He Heng saw that she was silent with a dark face. He dried his hands and stood to sit next to Qu Qing Ju, "Don't be angry for such a dumb woman. In the future, don't let them enter the fu."
"If you don't let them in, how will you look at your childhood sweetheart biaomei?" Qu Qing Ju narrowed her eyes at him and snorted, "Don't let another biaomei come out tomorrow and say how much she misses you."
Towards women that came to the door, men never treasured them. There was even a hint of disdain in their bones. Qu Qing Ju knew that He Heng had some interest in Wei Ran Shuang. This was also one of the reasons she wanted to keep the two women until He Heng returned to the fu.
"I don't like her, it's not like I can force her in," He Heng saw that her face was still dark and could only smile apologetically, "Didn't I say it before, only you, Qing Ju, are unique. Ben wang doesn't even want to look at the other women. Don't be angry, it's bad for the body if you get angry, en?"
Reaching out to lightly pinch his arm, Qu Qing Ju tilted her head to say: "You said it yourself, I didn't force you."
"These are my heartfelt words," He Heng smiled as he stroked her hair, "Get someone to serve dinner. Didn't you want to play chess? Later, I'll play a game with you."
Qu Qing Ju forced herself to nod.
Xiao Gan Zi, who had been standing in the corner the whole time, thought, the people of the Wei Family really didn't have eyes. Didn't they know how much wang ye valued wang fei? This subservient manner, no one would believe it.
He was afraid that after today, wang ye would have a mark in his heart against Wei Qin shi's family.
