Chapter 622: The Orphan Girl Whose Husband Died Flying to a Branch 3
She seemed okay on the surface on weekdays, but Wang Yue'e cursed her harshly behind her back.
Sometimes when the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law had an argument, Wang Yue'e didn't want to be criticized, so she never scolded Old Mrs. Chen openly, but she had already scolded her very harshly in her heart.
Old Mrs. Chen is indeed a troublemaker.
She looked down on Wang Yue'e from the beginning.
Just because Wang Yue'e was pretty and asked for a lot of dowry, this made Old Mrs. Chen very dissatisfied.
Two taels of silver is enough for an ordinary man to marry a wife.
Wang Yue'e asked for a huge sum of six taels of silver, half a pig as a betrothal gift, and a chicken, duck and goose.
This is completely beyond the standard for ordinary families to marry a wife.
However, the eldest son of the Chen family could not take his eyes off Wang Yue'e. No matter how Old Lady Chen tried to persuade him to give up, he was determined to marry Wang Yue'e and even went on a hunger strike in protest.
Boss Chen liked Wang Yue'e before.
At that time, nothing had happened to the Wang family. When Wang Yue'e's father was still alive, they lived a decent life and were considered one of the wealthy families in the village.
Wang's father is an old Chinese doctor. He is not a miracle doctor who can bring people back to life, but he can treat some minor illnesses.
Not only did he treat illnesses and prescribe medicine for people, he also went up the mountain to collect herbs, dried them and sold them. Every time he went to market, he would also make medicinal wine to sell. Because of this, the Wang family lived a good life.
Wang Yue'e had never suffered any hardship. Her father was especially good to his two children and did not have the idea of favoring boys over girls that was common in the village.
Old Mrs. Wang and her husband have been childhood sweethearts.
They thought that raising children and watching them grow up would be happiness, but they didn't expect that fate would play a joke on them.
Wang's father went up the mountain to collect herbs but accidentally fell down the mountain and died.
By the time someone found his body, it was too late.
When Wang's father passed away, Old Lady Wang almost cried her eyes out. Now the three of them were left alone and had to live a difficult life.
If it weren't for her two children, Mrs. Wang might have followed her husband.
Seeing that Wang Yue'e really couldn't stand Old Lady Chen and her words were full of disgust, Ah Zhi didn't continue talking to annoy her.
At this time, Wang Yue'e hung up the clothes in no time.
She said to Ah Zhi in a gentle tone, "Okay, I don't want to go back today. The three children are out with your brother-in-law. Let me cook you a meal today."
After Wang Yue'e finished speaking, she started picking vegetables, and Azhi hurried forward to help her.
Wang Yue'e, who was cooking in the kitchen, asked tentatively, "Do you really want to guard an empty house for the rest of your life? You are already eighteen years old now, why do you want to be a widow at such a young age? You are not even a widow."
"It was just a verbal promise of marriage, but you still believed it? Ping'er, you must think clearly. Yulang is gone. It will be useless even if you wait until the end of time."
Ah Zhi, who was burning the fire, said in a muffled voice, "Sister, I don't want to get married. Can you bear to see me get married?"
"Ping'er."
Seeing Azhi turned his head away and said nothing.
Now Wang Yue'e didn't dare to push too hard.
Some things should be left to the parties involved to figure out for themselves.
After dinner, Wang Yue'e left. She calculated the time and knew that Boss Chen had returned.
Even if they didn't want to see the annoying Old Lady Chen, the three daughters couldn't just ignore her.
But before she left, she gave Azhi a few instructions, asking him to make sure the doors and windows were closed and to call out loudly if anything happened.
The two houses were not very far away, so if they shouted loudly, they could still be heard.
Azhi looked at the empty house and sighed.
Thinking of Zhang Hui's tragic fate in his memory, Azhi had an idea in his mind.
The next day she went out before dawn and followed her memory to find the Wei family who bought Zhang Hui.
There would be a beauty contest every three years. The daughters of high-ranking officials would be selected to enter the palace to become concubines, while the daughters of minor officials would be selected to enter the palace to become slaves.
Today, the Wei family got a spot in the selection.
County Magistrate Wei and his wife waited ten years for a daughter, and they really wanted to treat her as well as they could.
They knew that replacing one thing with another was a crime of deceiving the emperor, but they still wanted to take a chance.
Their daughter would be sent to the palace in ten days, so the two discussed it.
I think it is necessary to buy an orphan girl who has a clean family background and no one to rely on, so that she will have no worries.
Madam Wei called to Magistrate Wei and said hesitantly, "Do we really have to do this? Not only is it too risky, I'm worried about other hidden dangers. If the truth is revealed, we..."
Before Madam Wei could finish her words, Magistrate Wei sighed and shook his head, "Madam, Lili is the daughter we have been waiting for for many years. I have treated her like my lifeblood all these years. How could I let her suffer even the slightest injustice?"
"She is innocent and romantic, and has no evil intentions at all. If she really goes in, do you think there will be a place for her there?"
If you don't have the ability to deal with people, entering the palace will undoubtedly be a dead end.
Wei Li is a timid person to begin with, and usually gets so scared that she dares not speak at the slightest thing.
Now that His Majesty is in his prime, the palace is like a big dye vat. If not you die today, she will die tomorrow.
Wei Li was still in poor health. She had a high fever due to excessive fright. Magistrate Wei and his wife did not dare to take the risk.
Thinking of her timid daughter, Mrs. Wei gritted her teeth and accepted her fate.
"Okay, I understand what my husband means. Let me, a woman, handle this matter."
It is always better for a woman to take action than for Magistrate Wei to do it himself.
"Thank you for your hard work, madam."
Seeing County Magistrate Wei disappear from her sight, Mrs. Wei was about to walk back, but unexpectedly a figure rushed in front of her.
The other person got up in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and this movement attracted Mrs. Wei's attention. At the same time, she noticed the figure of the woman in front of her.
Zhang Hui was able to escape from the Wei family successfully with the help of her original self.
It was the original body who disguised herself as Wei Li and sneaked into Wei's mansion and escaped with Zhang Hui.
Wei Li's appearance was indeed average, but her figure was so graceful that it aroused people's imagination when they saw her.
The original body was very similar to her in height and body shape, but their appearance was very different.
If you only look at the back, it would be hard to tell the difference, but you can tell the difference by just looking at the front face.
As Ah Zhi was packing the herbs in the basket, Mrs. Wei raised her eyebrows and came forward to ask with concern, "Miss, are you okay?"
Azhi, wearing a veil, shook her head gently at Mrs. Wei.
"Thank you for your concern, ma'am. I'm fine."
The next second, Mrs. Wei actually helped Azhi up.
She looked at Ah Zhi up and down and raised her eyebrows meaningfully.
Even though she couldn't see Azhi's appearance clearly, Mrs. Wei knew that the woman in front of her must be extraordinary.
Her skin was as white as snow and looked like a freshly peeled lychee.
Even though the veil only covered half of her face, the exposed eyebrows and eyes were enough to prove that she was good-looking.
Even just the pair of beautiful rippling eyes are enough to make people feel amazing.
Mrs. Wei came to her senses and spoke with concern.
"Miss, you fell down, and your hand is still injured. After all, you fell in front of our house. Why don't you come with me inside to apply some medicine?"
