Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Yuan Cuihua sat at the table, looking at the table filled with various exquisite breakfasts, feeling very uncomfortable.

How much money does it take to build something like this?

Even though this breakfast was a treat for her, Yuan Cuihua couldn't help but complain.

As she was thinking, she picked up a piece of cake and took a bite. She found that it tasted delicious and had a delicate texture, which made her speed up her pace.

When she saw Xie Cao'er stuffing food into her mouth like a starving ghost, Yuan Cuihua paused.

I couldn't help but gently scold him, "Can you eat slower? No one's trying to snatch it from you. It's like you haven't eaten anything in your life."

After hearing what her mother said, Xie Cao'er stopped what she was doing, looked up at Yuan Cuihua, and answered seriously: "Mom, it's not that I haven't eaten in my life, I just haven't eaten anything so delicious in my life."

After saying that, she continued to eat without caring about her image at all.

There's no one else around here, so of course I have to eat as much as I can to get the most out of it.

I don’t know when I’ll be able to eat it again next time.

Ever since Xie Cao'er failed to poach Yuan Wei, he has never had the courage to do anything else out of line.

That year, that time, was her most daring moment.

Yuan Cuihua sighed helplessly, took her breakfast and began to chew it slowly.

Unconsciously, she would speed up her movements because it was so delicious.

Not to mention Xie Cao'er, she had never eaten such delicious food in her life.

Seeing her mother eating so quickly, Xie Caoer couldn't help but roll her eyes and scold her, saying that she was the same.

Last year, Yuan Cuihua received a large sum of money to marry her to a widower who sold pork in the town.

Although Xie Cao'er was unwilling, she still accepted the arrangement.

After all, she knew that she was not destined to be rich and famous.

She decided to live a good life and no longer have any illusions.

After marriage, she began to help manage her husband's pork stall and worked hard to learn how to do business.

As time went by, their lives became more and more prosperous.

Due to frequent contact with the outside world, Xie Caoer's personality has become very different from before.

In Yuan Cuihua's words, she is now like a "rolling meat", becoming much more aggressive and tough.

When Yuan Cuihua asked her to go to the Yuan family, Xie Caoer immediately agreed and rushed over.

The reason was simple. She heard that Yuan Wei was followed by a large carriage team when she returned home. This made her curious and she wanted to see it with her own eyes.

Of course, it would be great if we could take this opportunity to bring some business to our family.

Xie Caoer was particularly happy to eat this sumptuous breakfast this morning.

The delicacies were enough for her to show off to customers when she sold meat, so she tried every single one.

Only by tasting more food could she describe the taste more vividly, so that others would not think she was just exaggerating or bragging.

Just then, Yuan Wei walked in.

When Xie Cao'er saw Yuan Wei, the pastry in her hand fell to the ground without her noticing.

She knew Yuan Wei was pretty, but she never imagined that she would be so stunning when she grew up.

At this moment, Yuan Wei looked like a fairy descending to earth, which was amazing.

Not only that, Yuan Wei exudes a unique temperament and majesty that makes people feel awe.

If Yuan Wei had been like this before, Xie Cao'er probably wouldn't have even the slightest thought of coveting Su Yuebai.

Not only was Xie Cao'er shocked by Yuan Wei's beauty, even Yuan Cuihua almost didn't dare to recognize her when she saw her.

If she met him by chance on the street, she would definitely lower her head and leave in a hurry without even taking a second look.

This was how she acted every time she met an important person on the street, for fear of offending someone she shouldn't.

Yuan Wei had no idea what the mother and daughter were thinking.

She walked slowly into the room, bowed to Yuan Cuihua, and called softly, "Aunt."

Yuan Wei's call brought Yuan Cuihua back to her senses from her shock.

She realized that she was Yuan Wei's elder after all and there was no need to be afraid of her.

Yuan Cuihua then straightened up, nodded slightly and replied, "Wei'er, I haven't seen you for many years. You have become even more beautiful and charming. If your father could see you today, he would surely be very pleased."

Yuan Cuihua made a big gesture, but seeing that Yuan Wei didn't react, she continued, "But you, child, haven't come back for several years since you left. I don't even know how tall the grass has grown on your father's grave."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and even Xie Guoer moved her stool away from her mother.

At this time, Xiang'er came out and poured Yuan Cuihua a cup of tea while saying, "Look at what you're saying, Madam. We still have servants like us while our young lady isn't back. We check the graves of our master and mistress every once in a while. How could there be grass growing on them?"

After Xiang'er said this, he did not forget to smile at Yuan Cuihua.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yuan Cuihua's face, but she quickly recovered. She coughed lightly and said, "What use are you servants?"

Xiang'er, however, was unconcerned and continued, "Madam, please do not look down on us servants. Although we are of low status, we are loyal to you. Moreover, we often clean the graves of the master and mistress to ensure that there are no weeds there. I wonder when did you see weeds growing on our master's grave?"

Yuan Cuihua felt a little guilty after hearing what Xiang'er said. She lowered her head and dared not look at Xiang'er again.

Xiang'er didn't give up. She continued, "Madam aunt hasn't offered sacrifices to our master in the past few years, so she doesn't know about it? Or did she mistake someone else's grave for our master's?"

Xiang'er's tone was full of sarcasm, making Yuan Cuihua's face even uglier.

She wanted to refute, but found that she had no idea where to start. After all, what Xiang'er said was true.

She could only pretend to be calm and take a sip of tea, trying to hide her embarrassment.

Seeing that Yuan Cuihua had nothing to say, Xiang'er felt that he had stood up for the girl.

Looking at Yuan Cuihua's aggrieved look, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this woman was as thick-skinned as a city wall.

Even so, he still wanted to put the accusation of being unfilial on the girl.

Xiang'er acted as if he hadn't noticed her expression and continued, "Besides, although our young lady hasn't returned, there's a memorial tablet set up for the master and mistress in Yangzhou. We offer sacrifices and pray for blessings from time to time."

"On the anniversary of the death or Qingming Festival, we would go to famous temples to light lanterns and pray for the master and his wife. Our girl is well-known in Yangzhou for being a filial girl."

Hearing this, Yuan Cuihua's face became even uglier.

"Oh, I just said something casually, and this girl scolded me all over, 'Wei'er, you are an amazing maid.'" Yuan Cuihua said to Yuan Wei in an exaggerated manner.

Yuan Wei smiled slightly, a barely perceptible coldness flashing in her eyes. She said softly, "Don't be angry, Auntie. Xiang'er is just like that. He speaks his mind, but he means no harm."

However, Yuan Cuihua didn't buy it. She said sarcastically, "Wei'er, you are such a powerful servant. I hope you won't be led astray in the future."

Yuan Wei still had a smile on her face and said gently, "Don't worry, auntie, Xiang'er is just eager to protect his master."

Then Yuan Wei looked at Xie Guoer and asked with a smile, "Cousin, have you finished eating? Let's go to the hall and talk."

Xie Guoer nodded, indicating that she was full.

So Yuan Wei stood up and walked out of the restaurant gracefully with Xiang'er.
