Chapter 143 Xiao Yi's Cousin
An An and Ning Ning played at the beach for an entire afternoon. It was a rare opportunity for them to play with their friends whom they hadn’t seen for a long time, and both little ones were very happy.
After rejecting Haihua's invitation to dinner at her home, Su Weixi and the other two returned to the city with their servants.
But when we were queuing up at the city gate to enter the city, we saw a good show of bullying.
The status of the Su family and Su Weixi's own identity meant that they didn't have to queue up. But Su Weixi didn't want to be criticized, so every time he entered or left the city gate, he would queue up in the row of carriages and horses unless there was an emergency.
Because of the previous incident of drying salt, there was almost no one in the city who didn't know Su Weixi. The soldiers guarding the city gates naturally knew Su Weixi as well, and were familiar with her carriage.
Seeing Su Weixi's carriage today, the captain of the soldiers guarding the city came over to pay his respects and asked Su Weixi if he wanted to go in early, but Su Weixi refused.
However, it is this scene that makes people jealous.
"Hey, I'm wondering why you treat us differently? We just wanted to go in early, and you asked us to line up. Why did you take the initiative to ask if the carriage wanted to enter the city early?"
Su Weixi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a sharp-faced nanny angrily attacking the team leader.
Seeing the carriage next to the nanny, it looked like a carriage for female relatives to travel, but there was no sign on it. Su Weixi found this nanny very unfamiliar and could not recognize which family she was from.
"Do you know who is in the carriage? Do you think you can compete with him? Get out of the way." The team leader was not as friendly to others as he was in front of Su Weixi, and he mocked the nanny with disdain.
"You are an ungrateful person. Do you believe that our young lady can make you unable to guard the city gate with just one word?"
"Well, go ahead, let's see what you can do." The captain was not afraid of what the nanny said. They were guarding the city gate, so they naturally knew the carriages of every powerful family in the city. This carriage looked ordinary, there was no sign, and he had never seen this person before, so he was naturally not afraid.
"Let me tell you, my lady is..."
"Madam Li, just wait in line peacefully. We are not in a hurry. Don't cause trouble!" A crisp female voice came from the carriage, interrupting what the nanny was about to say.
"Miss, he is going too far."
"If you don't obey my orders, you can go back to your grandmother and don't have to stay with me anymore."
Nanny Li originally wanted to make a few more remarks in rebuttal, but when she heard what her young lady said, she immediately fell silent.
Su Weixi suddenly became very curious, which family this woman belonged to. Listening to what Li Ma Ma had not yet said, it seemed that this young lady was from a prominent family, but she did not want to reveal her identity.
However, Su Weixi just watched the fun and forgot about the matter.
It was not until the next day when Su Weixi heard the female voice in the carriage again at home.
The person was brought by Xiao Yi.
"Aunt, this is my cousin, Wang Yingying."
"Hello, Madam Su." The woman in a goose yellow dress in front of him saluted to Madam Su. Her salute posture was standard, just as Madam Zeng had demonstrated to Su Weixi and others.
After a moment, everyone in the Su family finally knew the purpose of Xiao Yi bringing Wang Yingying here today.
Wang Yingying is the daughter of Xiao Yi's uncle and his cousin.
This time, I came here on the orders of my family to give gifts to Qing'er in Panyu City. After all, Wang Clan of Langya is also Qing'er's maternal family.
Since I came to Panyu City, I naturally couldn't leave my cousin Xiao Yi in Qiongzhou Island behind, so I came to Qiongzhou Island.
But Xiao Yi's Zhennan General's Mansion was full of men, with no women, and Xiao Yi was often in the military camp, so he wanted to temporarily place his cousin in the Su family for a while.
The relationship between the Su family and Xiao Yi had already reached this point, and with this reason, it was difficult for the Su family to refuse, so Su's mother agreed.
Xiao Yi left a lot of gifts and hurried back to the military camp.
"Madam Su, I'm going to bother you for a while."
"As the saying goes, everyone who comes is a guest. Since you are here on Qiongzhou Island, we have to take good care of you."
The few of them had just met and were not familiar with each other, so there was nothing much to talk about. Su Ma asked Xu Wanying to arrange a yard for Wang Yingying to live in. During this period, Su Ma was busy playing mahjong and had handed over the household affairs to Xu Wanying.
Xu Wanying didn't dare to accept the offer at first, after all, she was just the adopted son's daughter-in-law. But in the end, she was persuaded by Su Ma, who was completely relieved that Xu Wanying was capable.
After Xu Wanying took Wang Yingying to the yard prepared for her, Su Ma started gossiping with Su Weixi.
"Do you think this could be Xiao Yi's future partner?" Su Ma's face was filled with excitement as if she had just eaten some melon.
"Mom, why do you think so?"
"This ancient term of cousins sounds ambiguous. Xiao Yi is already this old, and the previous arranged marriage was canceled long ago. It is impossible for Xiao Yi's family not to be anxious."
"What you said makes sense. Many cousins here get married."
However, the next day, Su Weixi and Su Ma realized that their gossip speculation was completely wrong, and the other party was not there to cultivate feelings with Xiao Yi at all.
How did she know that? Of course, Wang Yingying herself told her.
Su Family Garden.
"Oh, Sister Su, your family's life is so comfortable that I don't even want to go home."
Su Weixi looked at the girl in front of her who was lying on the recliner as carefree as herself, feeding snacks into her mouth from time to time, and somehow connected her with Wang Yingying, whose every move yesterday was a textbook of etiquette.
It turned out that Su Weixi was the host today, and she was of the same age as Wang Yingying, so Su's mother asked her to spend more time with Wang Yingying.
Wang Yingying ate and chatted with Su Weixi under the guidance of the Su family's various delicacies and drinks. Su Weixi found that this person suddenly stopped pretending and was completely different from the ladies from noble families that she usually met.
Wang Yingying: I finally found someone who shares the same ideals as me, why should I pretend?
Su Weixi also knew the real purpose of Wang Yingying's coming to Qiongzhou Island. She came to take shelter.
"So, you really kicked that guy in the lower body?"
"Of course, I feel sick when I see him with his greasy hair and powdered face. The point is that he is disgusting, not only that, he even dares to have desires towards me and even wants to make a move on me, so I have to deal with him."
After hearing Wang Yingying's description, Su Weixi finally understood why this girl had to run so far away to avoid the limelight.
Although Wang Yingying was born in a family like Wang's of Langya, she always loved to go to the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo since she was a child. Then she learned a lot of martial arts. This time, it is said that she beat the son of an old prince, and the whole capital knew about it.
Although Wang Yingying was right in this matter, the status of a woman in this dynasty was always at a disadvantage, and rumors spread all over the capital. So the Wang family and the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo decided to send Wang Yingying to Qiongzhou Island to avoid the limelight and return to the capital next year.
She seemed to be worried that Su Weixi would misunderstand her relationship with Xiao Yi, so she took the initiative to explain why her family chose to send her to Qiongzhou Island. She said that since she was a child, she was not afraid of anyone except her cousin Xiao Yi, so her family sent her here.
Su Weixi: What did I misunderstand? Why did you explain this to me?
