Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 64 The Daughter of the Scholar in the Red Mansion 21

Yuan Cuihua couldn't let Yuan Wei really ask her father or go to the Xie family to ask Xie Daniu, otherwise if this matter got out, she and the Xie family would become the laughing stock of the villagers.

Yuan Cuihua quickly explained, "Wei'er, that's not what I meant. It's just that our family is really in trouble, and I have no other choice but to ask you for help. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely don't mean to blame your grandfather and father."

Yuan Wei glanced at Yuan Cuihua calmly and said, "Don't worry, auntie. I understand. Since the family is in such a difficult situation, you should go back early to avoid wasting time."

After saying that, he turned and went into the house, no longer paying attention to Yuan Cuihua and her daughter.

Yuan Cuihua looked at Yuan Wei's indifferent back and felt very uncomfortable.

She originally thought that her self-torture trick could move Yuan Wei's heart, but unexpectedly it backfired.

She couldn't help but start to regret that she shouldn't have used this method to test Yuan Wei. Now, not only did she not get what she wanted, but she also offended Yuan Wei.

Yuan Cuihua shook her head helplessly and left the Xie family with her daughter.

Along the way, Yuan Cuihua was thinking about how to make Yuan Wei change her mind. After all, the purpose of her visit to the Yuan family had not been achieved.

The Xie family only had that much land, and their branch got a share when the family was divided.

But after dividing the property, people could only barely make ends meet relying on those fields. Who wouldn’t want to make their life better?

She is trying to gain advantages everywhere in order to make her family live a better life in the future.

Yuan Wei is the only one left in the Yuan family. Doesn’t she feel bad? She feels bad, but she still has to live her life.

She just wanted her family to live a better life. Yuan Wei had so much money anyway, and she wasn't going to take it all away.

Yuan Wei didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise she would have turned against her long ago.

In the previous life, this aunt left money for the original owner, but it was only a fraction of the Yuan family's property. She still felt sorry for the original owner?

Xie Caoer returned home and sat in the yard in a daze.

"Didn't you go to your cousin's house? What happened?" Zhang Zhu asked puzzledly.

When Xie Cao'er heard the question, she came back to her senses and looked at him, "This was given to me by my cousin." She pointed to the cloth and pastries on the stone table and said.

"It's fine, is there a problem?" Zhang Zhu was puzzled.

The fabrics and pastries on the stone table look very delicate. Giving this as a gift to someone shows that they are thoughtful of the person.

Good? It was so good that it made her uneasy.

Moreover, these were given to her by the maidservant beside Yuan Wei after she separated from her mother.

He said he forgot about it because he was busy just now.

She didn't know whether it was true or not.

but……

"I feel like my mother is going to be in trouble." Xie Caoer said suddenly.

"Why are you saying something so nonsense?" Zhang Zhu looked at her in surprise. "Are you sick?"

Xie Cao'er shook her head and stopped talking.

The next morning, before the sun had fully risen, Yuan Wei got up early, washed, dressed, and went out to pay homage to the original owner's parents.

When she arrived at the cemetery, she found that Yuan Cuihua had not come to pay her respects as she had expected.

She stood quietly in front of the grave, gazing at the name engraved on the tombstone.

This is your sister. She is very active in scheming against others, but she is unwilling to even come and see you.

After a while, a familiar figure appeared in her sight. It turned out to be Xie Cao'er who had also come here.

Xie Cao'er felt a little embarrassed when she saw Yuan Wei. After all, she went to ask her mother to come and pay tribute to her uncle this morning, but her mother refused to come.

She had to come here alone, and now she didn't know how to explain to Yuan Wei.

Fortunately, Yuan Wei didn't ask her, but just nodded slightly to her.

After the worship ceremony, the two exchanged a few words.

Then they each left the cemetery separately.

From beginning to end, Yuan Wei didn't ask Yuan Cuihua a single question.

After returning home, Yuan Wei fell into deep thought.

She sat on the chair, frowning slightly, as if she had thought of something. She waved to Jill and whispered something in her ear.

Jill nodded, understanding what she meant, and turned and left quickly.

After the worship, Yuan Wei had no other important matters to deal with for the time being.

When she was in the Lin family, she was busy managing housework and learning various knowledge and skills. Now she finally has some free time.

She decided to use this time to rest and relax.

A few days later, Xie Caoer came to visit the Yuan family again.

Brought a piece of news to Yuan Wei: Yuan Cuihua's foot was injured.

It turned out that Yuan Cuihua accidentally injured her foot when she had an argument with someone in the village.

Upon hearing this news, Yuan Wei couldn't help but exclaimed, revealing a concerned expression, and hurriedly asked, "Is the injury serious?"

Xie Cao'er looked at Yuan Wei's reaction and felt a little confused.

She didn't see anything unusual on Yuan Wei's face, only sincere concern. Could she have guessed wrong?

That's right, her mother has an impatient personality and often quarrels with others. It's just that this time the quarrel was more serious and they directly fought.

Xie Cao'er put down the stone in her heart, looked at Yuan Wei and replied: "She is fine, but her foot... The doctor said that the nerves were damaged. Now we don't know what will happen in the future."

Yuan Wei frowned and asked worriedly, "It's so serious! What should we do?"

Xie Cao'er sighed helplessly, "Yeah, who could have imagined something like this would happen. Fortunately, the person's life is not in danger, but I'm afraid the injury to his foot will leave a root cause."

Yuan Wei comforted him, "Don't worry too much, there may still be hope of recovery. By the way, how are my cousin and cousin-in-law?"

Xie Cao'er came to the Yuan family to talk about her brother. She said to Yuan Wei in a sheepish tone, "My brother also hurt his hand while helping someone. He had been planning to learn a craft these days, but now he can't go."

"As long as no one is hurt, I'm glad I can learn the craft later. What happened? How did everyone get hurt?"

"Who said it wasn't? It's just that my sister-in-law thought my brother only had a minor injury and couldn't go back on his word since we had already agreed to go to the master's house. So she insisted that my brother bring gifts and go to the master's house first to explain the situation."

Xie Cao'er sighed. This was a normal thing, but for some reason her mother wouldn't let her brother go out.

Her mother had quarreled with her sister-in-law several times at home, and her mother didn't give in, so her brother didn't dare to leave.

This made her sister-in-law angry and helpless, so she asked her to come to Yuan Wei and wanted Yuan Wei to go home and persuade her mother.

But after seeing Yuan Wei, Xie Cao'er couldn't open her mouth.

Although she really wanted Yuan Wei to help, she now understood that Yuan Wei had no good feelings towards the Xie family, or her mother.

If she really asked Yuan Wei for help, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

So in the end she just took some medicine and left.

After Xie Cao'er left, Ji'er followed her. She went to visit Yuan Cuihua on behalf of Yuan Wei. After all, her aunt was injured, so she still had to go and visit her.

Otherwise it would be unacceptable if others found out.

Yuan Wei didn't expect that just spreading a few gossips in Xiejia Village would have such a good effect. It was really awesome!

At this moment, Fan Shuang walked in and reported to Yuan Wei, "Miss, there's a man from the capital who claims to be your cousin. His name is Yuan Haoxuan."

Hearing this, Yuan Wei was stunned. How come a cousin came just after sending off an aunt?

And he came all the way from the capital. Could it be that the original owner's cousin's family finally received her letter?

This is really timely! Yuan Wei muttered to herself.

In the first two years, she wrote many letters to the capital, but never received any response.

She even wondered whether the capital city no longer acknowledged her existence.

She had almost given up hope when her cousin suddenly appeared.

"Let him in." Yuan Wei sat down again, quietly waiting for the original owner's cousin to arrive.

After a while, Fan Shuang led a man into the room.

Yuan Wei raised her head and looked at the person who came carefully.

She was surprised to find that the man in front of her looked very similar to the original owner's father. No wonder the servants outside did not have any doubts about his identity.

Yuan Haoxuan was stunned by Yuan Wei's appearance as soon as he entered the room, but he quickly shifted his gaze away.

He stopped a few steps away from Yuan Wei, then bent down and saluted Yuan Wei and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Wei'er."

Yuan Wei quickly moved aside and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Is this what etiquette has become now?

"You are Yuan Wei from your second uncle's family, right? I am your eldest cousin Yuan Haoxuan. For some reasons, we only discovered the letter you sent to the capital recently." Yuan Haoxuan explained embarrassedly.

"I've missed so much in the past few years, especially my second uncle's funeral. We didn't make it. When my father found out, he was so angry he couldn't get out of bed. He told me to come and apologize to you and burn some incense for my second uncle."

Yuan Wei heard his words but said nothing.

Yuan Haoxuan did not explain why they had not received her letter.

But he used the word: "discovered", which means that the Yuan Mansion in the capital received her letter, but it was hidden by someone. It was not until recently that the letter she wrote was discovered.

The only thing that Yuan Haoxuan is unwilling to say must be the women in his family. I just don’t know who exactly doesn’t want to acknowledge her as a relative?

Yuan Wei guessed lightly, and returned the greeting to Yuan Haoxuan without any expression on her face, "Cousin."

Then he fell silent and didn't say another word.
