The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

"Mrs. Wei, this way please."

The maid led the way respectfully in front, and at a fork in the corridor, she leaned towards Chu Bainiao.

Chu Bainiao was holding the hand of a five-year-old kid and walking gracefully behind him.

This is the Duke's Mansion of this dynasty. Today is the fifth birthday banquet of Duke Wen's youngest son, and some relatives and friends have been invited to come over to visit the garden and enjoy the flowers.

When talking about visiting gardens and appreciating flowers, we have to mention the Duke's Mansion. This mansion was originally the palace of a king of a different surname in the previous dynasty. This king of a different surname liked to do elegant things on weekdays. When it was built, countless skilled craftsmen were invited to design the courtyard, and finally the ultimate artistic conception of "the courtyard is so deep, the willows are covered in smoke, and the curtains are countless" was created. It can be said to be both beautiful and sad.

In this dynasty, this mansion was originally the mansion of the previous regent. The regent liked flowers and gardens, so he demolished many corridors and courtyards and transplanted many rare and exotic plants. It was said that "the wind blows back to the small courtyard, the weeds are green, and the willows are full of spring."

After Lord Wen moved in, he did not change the beautiful scenery in the courtyard. But now there is scenery in the house and house in the scenery. It can be said that flowers bloom everywhere and everywhere is picturesque.

Even His Majesty has personally praised the beauty of the Duke's Mansion.

From another perspective, it is also enough to prove how much the emperor favors Duke Wen today.

The little kid who grew up in the frontier was already dazzled by what he saw. Compared with the barren Gobi desert in the frontier, the courtyard here was deep, surrounded by green trees, and reflected by rockery, which was all very novel.

The maid ran to report first, and when Chu Bainiao led the little kid to the flower-viewing courtyard, the Duke's wife had already come to greet them with a group of noble ladies.

"Is this Sister Wei? I've heard of your name for a long time. Come here quickly." The lady wearing a luxurious crown and a green robe came forward.

How could Chu Bai Niao make a mistake? She greeted him with the same smile, "Greetings, Madam Wen."

Half of the wives of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the courtyard were secretly looking at the newcomer.

Unfortunately, General Wei married a new wife in the west, but the barbarians invaded within two days, so General Wei led his troops to fight. The battle lasted for more than half a year, and the barbarians were well prepared, so the fighting was extremely brutal.

General Wei died heroically. Unfortunately, the Wei family had only one son for three generations, and all of them sacrificed their lives for the country, leaving only General Wei's old mother, wife and children.

The emperor, mindful of the Wei family's loyalty and their sacrifice for the country, was worried that the orphans and widows would be bullied, so he conferred the title of first-rank lady on Madam Wei, and Madam Wei, also known as Chu Bainiao, was made the village chief.

Even though Madam Wei was only given the title of a village lord, a village lord is different from a noble lady. A noble lady is just an honor, but a village lord has a fiefdom. Who among those present doesn't know what a fiefdom means?

Looking at Madam Wei again, I originally thought she was from the frontier and had never seen the world, but after taking a look, I found that although her skin was not as white and smooth as theirs, it looked healthier, and her manners were extremely dignified and imposing. She had a bright and generous appearance, cold eyebrows and eyes, and a temperament as elegant as a chrysanthemum, adding a touch of tranquility and nobility.

The whole person was like a clear stream, flowing into the hearts of the ladies.

Mrs. Wen liked her more and more the more she looked at her. She thought that this woman looked upright and honest and was very pleasing to the eye.

After some greetings, everyone took their seats.

The little kid had never seen such a scene before. Although her face was tense and nothing unusual could be seen, her little hands hidden under her clothes were holding her tightly.

The original body committed suicide when General Wei died. She really loved General Wei, but she died and left behind a young child. When Chu Bainiao fell into this body, the corpse was a little cold.

The little kid lying in front of the bed was dazed, as if he didn't expect that his deceased stepmother would wake up again.

Fortunately, the child was young, and Chu Bainiao managed to fool the woman seriously. She brought her husband's body and adopted son back to the capital from the border to meet her mother-in-law who stayed in the capital.

Originally, she was in love with General Wei in the northwest and had never met her mother-in-law, which made things convenient for Chu Bainiao.

She lowered her head and asked the little kid in a weak voice, "Shu Bai, do you want to go home? Wait a little longer for your mother to take you home?"

The little kid was very sensible. Although he was only five years old, he already considered himself a little adult. Although he was obviously very uncomfortable, he whispered to comfort his mother, "I don't want to go home. I can go home after the event is over."

Chu Bainiao sighed in his heart. This child was really pitiful. His biological mother died during childbirth, and his father was either training soldiers or doing military training all day long and was a hands-off boss. It was hard to find a woman in the family to take care of him, but she committed suicide after only half a year.

The little hand was clenched in the palm of my hand when I heard a series of brisk footsteps and then a babyish "Mom!", which attracted the attention of a large number of people in the field.

I saw a fair and tender little ball, wearing a white robe, standing in front of Mrs. Wen with a delicate and delicate figure. Mrs. Wen smiled and hugged him in her arms.

As if noticing Chu Bainiao's gaze, Bai Tuanzi's big round eyes looked over, and they were big and moist.

Chu Bainiao sighed in his heart that his senior brother’s new eyes were so clean.

Noticing the two people looking at each other, Madam Wen smiled and said, "Sister Wei, this is probably the first time you meet my son." She gently patted Bai Tuanzi's back and said, "Wen Huai, go and pay your respects to Madam Wei."

Wen Huai walked out of his mother's arms somewhat embarrassedly. Looking at the strange beautiful woman in front of him, he felt shy and wanted to get closer to her. He stood in front of Chu Bai Niao timidly and called out in a childish voice, "Wen Huai greets Madam Wei."

Chu Bai Niao nodded slightly, and Madam Wen spoke again, "Wen Huai, have you seen Young Master Wei next to Madam Wei? Ask Young Master Wei if he wants to go out and play with you?"

Wen Huai then reluctantly moved his gaze away from Madam Wei's face and fell on the little person beside her. Also five years old, Wei Shubai was half a head taller than Wen Huai. Wen Huai's eyes turned and he immediately realized that this child was the child of the beautiful woman in front of him.

"Hi, do you want to hang out with me?"

The young man from an aristocratic family who grew up in the capital was very confident, and even his invitations were very direct.

Chu Bai Niao squeezed the little bean's hand, lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Does Shu Bai want to go out and play with Master Wen?"

Wei Shubai hesitated for two seconds and nodded.

Chu Bainiao let go of his hand and watched his senior brother take Wei Shubai away.

The adults' party was still going on, but the children had already started playing.

Wen Huai asked Wei Shubai's name on the way, and brought Wei Shubai, who was half a head taller than him, to a group of children, and introduced him formally, emphasizing: "From today on, Wei Shubai is my good brother, Wen Huai. None of you are allowed to bully him, understand?"

"If you bully him, you are bullying me, Wen Huai. If you go against him, you are going against me, Wen Huai. Do you understand?"

The childish threat of the white ball may seem funny in the eyes of adults, but it is very threatening in front of a group of little kids.

Everyone in Beijing knows that Wen Huai is a little devil. There is nothing he cannot get if he sets his eyes on anything he wants.

The person he hates is hated by everyone, and the person he likes is liked by everyone.

It seems that this is the way it should be for a child of destiny.
