Jiao Luan

Chapter 59
It's not that Cheng Wei didn't think about it when he said this.

She also wanted to be tactful, but she and Cheng Yao had been friends for so many years, and even at the beginning, she took the initiative to take Cheng Yao to accompany her into the palace to visit her eldest sister. Now there is no reasonable reason, how could Cheng Yao Leave it at home!
Cheng Wei racked her brains to think of reasons, until the moment she saw Han Shi, she suddenly understood.

This is her mother, whether the mother likes her daughter or not, this relationship cannot be separated.

She is outstanding, and my mother will still feel that she has face, just like that day, she just saw that she was more beautiful, and she couldn't hide her pride.

If she loses face, it's not her mother's face!

That being the case, why didn't she just say that the worst thing is to bring Cheng Yao into the palace as usual. If the mother can believe her, no, even if she doesn't believe her, she just has some doubts about Cheng Yao. The group is harmonious and strong.

At least, from now on, she doesn't have to pretend to be in love with Sister Cheng Yao in front of her mother.

"Wei'er, what did you say?" Han Shi sat up straight and couldn't help urging, "Say it again, did I hear wrong just now?"

In less than a year, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes. It seems that the hands of the years have suddenly increased their strength, making this little girl who has not yet reached her age grow up rapidly in some aspects.

She knew that recklessness and impatience would only reduce the credibility of her words, so she took a deep breath and tried to keep her speech slow and calm: "Mother, do you still remember that day when I heard about the fainting in the snow forest?" .”

"Hmm." Han had never seen her second daughter speak to her so calmly and seriously, and her demeanor unconsciously became serious.

"Aside from Cousin Zhi, there was Second Sister who was there that day? Later, when I woke up, I heard that my grandmother explained that Second Sister fell down. I went to help him at the same time, but he accidentally knocked me down. Later, my grandmother also punished my cousin Zhi and my second sister for copying books, isn't that the way it is?"

"good."

Cheng Wei laughed at herself: "But, I was in a coma at that time, and no one remembered to ask me a question after that. I waited for a long time, and only waited for my cousin to question me."

"Interrogation? Wei'er, mother doesn't understand what you mean." Han frowned.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the second sister accidentally slipped and fell. Cousin Zhi mistakenly thought it was me who pushed me down, so he ran over and pushed me down."

Cheng Wei thought that to Han, this mother who only had the name of mother but had almost never cared for her, she would never say these things that represented her embarrassment, but only now did she realize that the original said It's not that hard to get out.

What difficulty can compare to the pain of seeing someone dear to you die and feel helpless?
Han laughed: "Wei'er, are you joking? Zhi'er has been kind to you since she was a child, although she knew she avoided it because of what happened last year, but after all you are his cousin, let alone Yao'er slipped and fell, He saw Yao'er pushed down by you with his own eyes, and he wouldn't do anything to you."

"Does the mother believe that I didn't push the second sister down, but she slipped and fell?"

Looking into the calm and transparent eyes of the second daughter, the Han family almost nodded.

Cheng Wei was startled for a while, only then was she sure that Han Shi was actually nodding.

Han looked away uncomfortably, took a sip from her teacup, and said, "Even so, it doesn't mean that Zhi'er has any thoughts about your second sister."

Cheng smiled: "That's my mother, you don't even know. In fact, Cousin Zhi didn't meet us by accident at that time, but went back and forth."

"Going back and forth?"

"That's right, I wandered to the red plum tree by accident, and I happened to bump into Cousin Zhi and Second Sister talking to each other. Only then did I know that Cousin Zhi liked Second Sister a long time ago, and Second Sister, knowing that He likes her, but he never told me." When Cheng Wei said this, his heart was full of sourness and sadness.

After all, she is the sister who has treated her heart and soul for more than ten years. How could she become like this in one day?

Even, it's not even as good as she and Cheng Tong, who clearly hate each other.

"Mother." She raised her eyes and looked deeply into Han's eyes, "No matter what, you should be clear that if you knew from the beginning that Cousin Zhi's sweetheart was the second sister, I would never confide in him. Do you want to do such a stupid thing!"

Han nodded unconsciously.

This, she believes, the second daughter has no other advantages, but stubborn temper, let her!

However, is it true that what the second daughter said, the nephew has long been secretly in love with the concubine, she can't just listen to what the second daughter says and believe it all.

Cheng Wei quietly observed Han's expression, knowing that she had been shaken, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She never expected her mother to believe her completely, as long as she could listen carefully to what she said, it would be a good start.

"If mother doesn't believe it, just wait and see. Cousin Zhi is infatuated with second sister, and will come to beg you sooner or later. Only this time, won't you bring second sister into the palace?"

Mrs. Han hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Since you said so, let your second sister stay at home for now. But if it proves that Zhi'er doesn't mean it in the future, don't think about it anymore. After all these years, I think Yao'er treats you I'm very caring, don't end up with neither of you, and it will be too late to regret."

Han said this out of emotion, thinking of her younger sister Han Yuzhu who died young.

Cheng Wei is already quite satisfied with such a result, she secretly said that she was right to act like this, before she was too stupid to suffer.

"Ma'am, the second girl is here."

"please come in."

The light purple cotton curtain was raised, and Cheng Yao walked in.

She was wearing a stone-blue squirrel cloak on the outside, and a goose-yellow double-breasted jacket with a grass-green wide border on the inside, with a water-red skirt.This kind of dress is festive yet elegant, just like a water lily, with pink and white petals revealing red stamens, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

"Mother, third sister." Cheng Yao laughed before saying anything, "Third sister is actually earlier than me today. Mother, am I late, did I not waste your time?"

The Han family is actually a sharp-mouthed bean curd heart, seeing the concubine's gentle demeanor and considerate words, he hesitated.

She subconsciously glanced at Cheng Wei from the corner of her eye.The second daughter's face was as white as jade, as if covered with frost.

Forget it, just this time, if it turns out that the second daughter is talking nonsense in the future, then just treat the concubine better.

Observing Han's expression, Cheng Yao had a faint premonition in her heart, so she unfolded the gift she brought: "Mother, this is the gift I want to give to the princess, do you think it is suitable?"

Han Shi and Cheng Wei looked at the same time.

It was a pair of pillow covers, embroidered with two lifelike fat boys, sitting opposite each other, one of them was holding a pomegranate and eating it with a smile, the other stretched out his hands curiously, and a bat landed on each palm.

What's even more rare is that the pomegranates that have been bitten a few times reveal crystal pomegranate seeds, all of which are shining brightly. Looking at it with cold eyes, they are actually the same as the real thing!
"Mother, what do you think?" Cheng Yao asked with a smile, she was sure that her aunt would be very happy that she dedicated this pair of pillow covers to the princess.

"It's really rare! The implication is good, the embroidery is novel, and what's more rare is that the embroidery is exquisite and perfect." Han praised again and again, and finally said, "Yao'er, the princess is pregnant, and there are too many people going there, so I might be disturbed. You can stay at home next time, and I will take your third sister into the palace to have a look."

"But—" Cheng Yao almost lost her composure, met Han Shi's gaze, and quickly stabilized her mind, "Mother, Yao'er is also thinking about the Crown Princess very much."

Han Shi smiled and nodded: "I know you are a good boy, don't worry, when we come back from the palace, I will tell you about the situation of the Crown Princess."

"Then this pillowcase—"

"Let Wei'er take it there for you." Han Shi said very neatly.

So, until Han Shi and Cheng Wei's mother and daughter left, Cheng Yao still couldn't recover.

This, this is the pillow she had embroidered for several nights and entered the palace, and she was left behind?
