Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

The person who came to deliver the reply was Wang Fu-ren's confidant Zhou Ruijia. When she saw Yuan Wei, she smiled and explained to her why she sent the reply so late.

"The mansion has been busy these days with my eldest daughter's entry into the palace, and my wife hasn't had time to look at the invitation. She finally finished her work yesterday, and when she saw the invitation today, she quickly sent this servant to deliver the reply. Miss Wei, please forgive me. I really didn't mean to delay."

Yuan Wei raised her eyebrows when she heard her words, and was secretly surprised.

It turns out that Jia Yuanchun has already entered the palace?

She couldn't help but wonder about Jia Yuanchun's identity when she entered the palace. Was she really going to be a palace maid?

I feel quite proud of Zhou Ruijia when she talks about it. Is it something to be proud of to be a palace maid?

I heard that Jia Lian married a girl from the Wang family last month, and the wedding was very grand.

And this month, Jia Yuanchun was sent into the palace.

The Rongguo Mansion is really as lively as the rumors say!

Yuan Wei smiled slightly and said to Zhou Ruijia, "Thank you so much, Sister Zhou. As long as Madam still remembers my mother, we are already very grateful. After all, Madam has to manage the entire family, and it is normal for her to forget some things when she is busy. How can I be picky?"

Mrs. Zhou clasped her hands together, a look of gratitude on her face, and said excitedly, "Oh, Miss Wei, it's so kind of you to understand our wife! I was just worried you might have misunderstood. Our wife said that this Rongguo Mansion will always be your maternal home. You can come back whenever you want, and no one will stop you!"

Yuan Wei sneered in her heart, but still smiled and replied: "Thank you for your concern, madam. I understand."

It's okay to just listen to these words, but anyone who takes them seriously would be a fool.

Even Jia Min, the legitimate daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, has to consider the mood of the mistress of the house when she returns to her parents' home, right?

If it weren't for this, how could Jia Min have a rift with the Rongguo Mansion?

And what is a daughter of a concubine like me in their eyes?

I'm afraid he's not even a real relative.

However, she also understood that wealthy families like the Rongguo Mansion cared most about their reputation, so they put in a lot of effort to maintain their appearance.

Otherwise, even though the Rongguo Mansion was clearly running out of money, they still had no self-control and were trying to maintain their own splendor.

This is also beneficial to Yuan Wei. At least she has no conflict of interest with them. She is just visiting Rongguo Mansion and does not have to worry about others' feelings for the time being.

As long as you go once, the task is completed. Doesn’t it depend on your mood whether to go again or not?

Yuan Wei exchanged a few more pleasantries with Zhou Rui's wife, then politely escorted her out the door.

The next day, Yuan Wei dressed up and took a carriage to Rongguo Mansion.

Today I can finally see those legendary characters, I have to take a good look at them.

Along the way, Yuan Wei kept thinking about these things, and unknowingly arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as Yuan Wei entered the Rongguo Mansion, she felt nothing but chaos.

It's not the environment that's messy, but the servants' lax discipline. Anyone walking on the street can come up to look at them and ask a few questions.

If you didn’t know, you would think that her relatives had come.

Yuan Wei heard from Jia Min that it was her sister-in-law who used to be the housekeeper, and there was nothing wrong with the rules.

After Jia Min's eldest sister-in-law passed away, she, the second sister-in-law, became the housekeeper. Judging from the fact that the family rules became a mess after she took over as the housekeeper, she was really not suitable to be the head of the household.

But even if they knew that she had a problem, they couldn't say it out loud because there was no other suitable person to be the housekeeper.

Jia Min couldn't help but say it several times, and she remembered it.

Yuan Wei probably felt jealous because of this. Mrs. Wang felt that Jia Min looked down on her. In addition, Mrs. Wang felt that the family doted on Jia Min too much.

All these reasons combined made Mrs. Wang feel resentful towards Jia Min.

Yuan Wei followed the maid who led the way to Lady Jia's place, and felt a chill as soon as she entered the door.

She looked up at Lady Jia calmly and found that she was looking at her with a cold look.

When Lady Jia's gaze fell on Yuan Wei's face, a hint of displeasure clearly flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly concealed.

Yuan Wei knew in her heart that when Lady Jia saw her, she might remind her of her grandmother whom she had never met.

She didn't care about these things and calmly bowed and greeted Lady Jia.

Grandmother Jia responded, "Get up!" Her tone was cold and without any enthusiasm.

Yuan Wei thought that this meeting might not be very pleasant.

At this time, Wang Xifeng came over, greeted Yuan Wei warmly, and pulled her to sit down and chat.

However, as time went on, Wang Xifeng noticed that Lady Jia's expression became increasingly ugly, so she gradually restrained her smile and was no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Yuan Wei didn't care about this. She knew that in this big family, the younger people would often treat others according to the attitudes of their elders.

But if it were the original owner, he would probably have become disheartened and sad.

Through this meeting, Yuan Wei believes that the original owner should be able to face reality and completely let go of her yearning for this family relationship.

As for the men in this family, Yuan Wei had never seen any of them, including Jia Baoyu.

Yingchun and Tanchun were still young and couldn't see anything.

She waited in vain.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wei stopped dwelling on the matter and shifted her attention to communicating with everyone in Rongguo Mansion.

When Yuan Wei took out the gift she had prepared in advance, everyone in Rongguo Mansion looked at her with a hint of surprise and curiosity in their eyes.

These gifts are not ordinary, each one reveals unique taste and value.

Everyone was secretly speculating in their hearts. They originally thought that Yuan Wei was just an ordinary person, but they didn't expect that she could come up with such a precious gift. It was really impressive.

The most active among them was Wang Xifeng. She immediately realized that Yuan Wei's identity was not simple, and her originally cold attitude towards Yuan Wei became warm again.

Her purpose was not to covet money. After all, she was not short of money at that time.

What she really valued was the wealth and strength displayed by Yuan Wei, and she thought that she might not be an ordinary poor relative, but a person with a certain background.

For Wang Xifeng, this kind of connection is worth cultivating.

In comparison, the other people in the Jia family seemed a little short-sighted.

They did not realize the huge potential hidden behind Yuan Wei, but instead thought she was just an ordinary guest.

In their eyes, an orphan girl whose husband was only a juren seemed to have little value and was not worth their effort to make friends with.

Yuan Wei took a walk around the Rongguo Mansion and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.

Lady Jia's cold face did not affect her at all.

After dinner, she politely said goodbye to everyone and set off on her journey home.

Although the Rongguo Mansion at that time was also powerful, it was not as interesting and story-filled as it was after Lin Daiyu arrived, not to mention the extraordinary liveliness when Jia Yuanchun came home to visit her parents.

For Yuan Wei, this visit was nothing special, and she probably wouldn't visit more frequently in the future.

Yuan Wei returned home, lazily sat on the couch, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Fanshuang, let's have some light dishes tonight."

She was really shocked by the greasy food on the table in Rongguo Mansion. Although it tasted good and was delicious when eaten, it was too greasy in the end.

"Okay." Fan Shuang nodded obediently, then turned and left.

Seeing this, Fanxue looked at Yuan Wei smartly, then at Su Yuebai, and then she followed Fanshuang out tactfully.

Yuan Wei glanced at Fan Xue who followed her out, then turned to Su Yuebai beside her and said with a smile, "It's a good thing you didn't go with us. The men in the Jia family were all very busy. I didn't even see a single one of them. If you had gone, you would probably have just sat on the bench."

Su Yuebai originally planned to go with Yuan Wei, but Yuan Wei knew very well that everyone in the Jia family was arrogant and would not take a mere juren seriously. Even if he was her granddaughter's son-in-law, his treatment would probably not be much better.

So Yuan Wei refused Su Yuebai's company. As long as she told them that Su Yuebai was studying for the exam, no one would object.

The Jia family really didn't care about this because they were not interested in Su Yuebai.

"No one is giving you any trouble, right? I'll go with you next time." Su Yuebai held Yuan Wei's hand tightly and asked with concern. He was worried that Yuan Wei was being wronged but didn't say anything.

"No one is making things difficult for me. Let's talk about it next time... next time." Yuan Wei's tone seemed a little indifferent.

I don’t know when I will go next time.

Although Lady Jia looked at her coldly, she did not make things difficult for her, she just ignored her.

She wasn't a piece of gold that everyone loved, so she didn't care. Otherwise, how tiring would life be?

"What should we do with the Yuan family?" After a while, Su Yuebai asked again.

"I'll go to their house tomorrow and see if they won't let me in." Yuan Wei's tone was firm and angry.

She realized that the Yuan family's attitude towards her was not accidental, but a deliberate neglect.

Whether it was the fact that she had not received a reply to her previous letter or that this visiting card was ignored, she felt extremely disappointed.

It was all right before, saying that she was too busy and didn't see the letter. Later, she received another letter saying that Yuan Xin had hidden the letter.

So what about this time? She's already posted it, so how can we pretend she never came?

So the letter of apology from the original owner, Uncle, was just bullshit?

Yuan Wei felt more and more aggrieved. Did the other party think that as long as they ignored her and gave her a warning, they would make her surrender?

This is absolutely impossible!

She doesn't need to rely on them anyway, and actively currying favor with others is not her style.

Since they hate her so much, let's just go our separate ways.

"Don't be angry. Wait until tomorrow to find out what happened and you'll know." Su Yuebai walked over to sit beside her, hugged her tightly in his arms, and comforted her softly.

Yuan Wei leaned in his warm embrace, her arms around his waist, and complained coquettishly: "You really treat me like a child?"

Su Yuebai smiled dotingly and hugged her tighter.

After a while, Yuan Wei suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "Have all the letters that your uncle asked you to pass on to others been delivered?"

"I have already delivered two letters, and there is another one I plan to deliver with you."

Su Yuebai replied.

When Yuan Wei heard this, she immediately sat up straight and asked, "Is it the letter from my aunt and uncle's family?"

"Yes, that's the one." Su Yuebai nodded.

In fact, these letters were not just simple transfer tasks, but also a network of contacts that Lin Ruhai had specially paved for Su Yuebai.

Every letter is a door to new opportunities, and Su Yuebai is the lucky person who opens the door.

Lin Ruhai's uncle's family, the Zhang family, was once a prominent family. Unfortunately, they followed the wrong master and lost everything in one day, and the family's status plummeted.

However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Zhang family is no longer as glorious as it once was, its foundation remains and should not be underestimated.

Moreover, because of Yuan Wei's close relationship with Jia Min and Lin Ruhai, it is reasonable for her to visit the female members of the Zhang family as a sign of courtesy and respect.

So Yuan Wei made a quick decision: "Let's go the day after tomorrow."

She said firmly, "From now on, don't rush around anymore. Just stay home and study hard. After all, there's only a month left until the imperial examination."

Hearing this, Su Yuebai's mouth corners slightly raised, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he responded softly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
