Yunshi was surprised when she suddenly heard that King Yu's concubine was coming.
After the last incident, Prince Yu’s concubine stopped interacting with them. Why did she suddenly come back to visit the old man and his wife now?
“Where is she now?” Yun asked.
"In Shou'an Hall, I'm talking to the old lady right now." Cuiping replied.
Yunshi frowned.
Cuiping continued: "I just sent someone here to deliver a message, saying that I would come over to see my wife in a while."
"She said I'm a little tired today and it's inconvenient to see her," Yun said.
“This slave knows.”
Then Mr. Yun returned to the back room.
About half an hour later, Wei Qingwan arrived outside Anxin Pavilion. Cuiping told Yun that she was resting.
Wei Qingwan said: "Sister Cuiping, please tell my mother. I'll wait outside for her to rest before I go to pay her respects."
Wei Qingwan knew Yun's schedule best, and she was determined not to rest at noon.
“My dear wife, it’s freezing cold here, but you’re a rich man. It’s better to stay in the house where you lived before you got married. The stove has been burned for you in advance,” Cuiping said.
"It doesn't matter, I'll wait for my mother here." Wei Qingwan insisted.
Cuiping had no choice but to go back and relay Wei Qingwan's words to Yun.
Yun didn’t say anything after hearing this, and closed her eyes to fall asleep.
After Cuiping waited on the side for a while, Yun opened her eyes again.
“Go outside and have a look again.”
"yes."
Cuiping came to the gate of the courtyard again and saw that Wei Qingwan had not left.
So Cuiping went back to report to Yunshi.
Yun frowned and said, "Is she trying to force me to see her in this way?"
“Madam, do you want the second lady to come in?” Cuiping asked.
"No." Yun thought for a while and then said, "If she likes to stand, let her continue to stand."
After waiting for another half an hour, Yun asked Cuiping to look outside the door again. Wei Qingwan was still standing at the door.
Yunshi compromised and said, "Let her come in."
"yes."
Cuiping took the order and invited Wei Qingwan in.
As soon as Wei Qingwan entered the door, she knelt down when she saw Mrs. Yun.
“Mother, my daughter realizes her mistake.”
"I can't bear it. You are King Yu's side concubine and a royal concubine. I'm afraid your life will be shortened if you kneel to me!" Yun said with a straight face and an indifferent attitude.
“Mom, I know you are angry with me, angry that I am close to my second uncle’s mother, angry that I don’t listen to you...”
"Prince Yu's side concubine has very big ideas now. She can get close to whomever she wants. You don't need to tell me. Anyway, I am not your biological mother." Yun said.
"Mom, although you are not my biological mother, you treat me better than your biological mother! How could I forget how kind you are to me? This time it was my daughter who was confused because of the scar on her back. , I was only thinking about how to prevent myself from being disliked by the prince after entering the prince's palace, and I couldn't tell who treated me really well and who treated me fakely."
Wei Qingwan's eyes were red, and tears slowly flowed from her eyes, streaking across her delicate and white cheeks.
“This time my daughter did something wrong and she didn’t ask her mother for forgiveness. But if she didn’t say these words, her heart would be uneasy.”
Wei Qingwan's words reminded Yunshi of the past. Her five-year-old daughter was pink and tender, soft and cute, and was crying because she accidentally broke her elder brother's writing brush.
She held her in her arms and went to apologize to her elder brother. As soon as she said she was sorry, she was so nervous that she cried.
Yunshi looked at the person kneeling in front of her again, feeling sad in her heart.
Does it matter whether the person is biological or not? How can the love between mother and daughter for more than ten years be wiped out by saying she is not her biological child?
Looking at Wei Qingwan's tear-filled eyes again, Yun couldn't hold back any longer.
“You must correct your mistakes if you recognize them. Don’t just pay lip service to them.”
Yunshi relaxed, and the stone in Wei Qingwan's heart finally fell.
“Mother!” Wei Qingwan stood up and threw herself into Yun’s arms.
Yun’s tears fell instantly.

After returning from Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion, Wei Qingwan contracted a cold and fell ill in bed.
Cuihe was waiting on the side and murmured: "Miss, look at you, you insist on standing at the door of the madam's courtyard. It's better this time, have you made yourself sick?"
“You don’t understand, this illness is worth it.” Wei Qingwan’s face was pale, but her expression was reassuring and satisfied.
“Why is this?” Cuihe asked.
"My eldest brother hates me and harms me, but as long as my mother recognizes me, I will be the daughter of Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion. I have a father with great military exploits and an eldest brother who is a new champion, so my life in the backyard of Prince Yu's Mansion will be good. "
This is what Wei Qingwan wants to understand these days.
What appearance or scars, these are not the key to her winning favor, the key lies in her natal family.
So she really did something wrong in the past and didn't figure out what she should hold firmly in her hands.
"Miss, you don't have to spoil your body. Now that you are ill, it's hard for you to be pampered. It's not easy for you..." Cuihe said.
“Only if I show my sincerity will my mother relent. But what you said is right, this illness is indeed not the right time.” Wei Qingwan was also a little worried.
At this moment, the prince's personal attendant came over.
“Concubine Concubine, the prince learned that Concubine Concubine is ill, so he sent some supplements to the concubine. He also asked the concubine to tell the concubine that you must be careful about yourself.”
Hearing this, Wei Qingwan felt a warm feeling in her heart.
“I know this, so I would like to thank the prince on my behalf.”
Wei Qingwan was happy, it seemed that her worries were unnecessary.

The end of the year is here in a blink of an eye.
Due to the disasters in various places, the emperor canceled the annual banquet, and families in the capital did not dare to hold grand banquets. Everyone kept everything simple.
So this year, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also spent time together in the small courtyard of the palace. It was not lively, but very comfortable.
The two of them nestled in a room heated by a stove, warming a pot of wine and a pot of tea. Wei Ruo cooked himself and made a table of side dishes. The two of them sat on the heated Kang by the window, talking and eating. From time to time, look out the window at the snowy scenery.
This can be regarded as a half-day of leisure, because Wei Ruo has not neglected the disaster relief work recently. After the Chinese New Year, she will arrange for people to transport grain to Zhuangzi in Hejian Prefecture again on the first day of the new year.
However, Wei Ruo felt that days like this were quite fulfilling, as he did not have to worry about unnecessary things every day.
After a while, Wei Ruo changed his posture, supporting his chin with one hand, looking at Wei Jinyi sitting in front of him without blinking, with the corners of his mouth raised.
Feeling that Wei Ruo'er had been staring at him, Wei Jin also looked a little strange, and then asked calmly: "What is Ruo'er looking at?" (End of this chapter)
