Chapter 40: Visiting - Rebirth of the Noble Daughter
Chapter 40: Visiting
Miss Bai is someone she has watched grow up since childhood. With her jealous and vengeful nature, she couldn't easily change, but since Miss had said so, she didn't feel it was appropriate to ask further.
Bai Sihan, do you want to climb high branches?
Then I will help you. Whether you can climb up or not, that's your own fate.
A faint smile appeared on Bai Siruo's lips.
Different from the open and hidden struggles in the Bai family, the Feng family at this moment was warm and lively.
Today's lunch was arranged in Madam Feng's Cloud Sea Courtyard, and coincidentally, Feng Jinxu was also resting at home, so the three members of the main branch came together.
Madam Wen hadn't seen her mother-in-law for a long time, so as soon as she entered, she respectfully greeted Madam Feng.
"Mother, I pay my respects. Your daughter-in-law pays her respects. During these days while you were ill, your daughter-in-law was not diligent enough to come and serve you daily. Please forgive me, Mother."
Madam Wen's words were sincere, and she showed respect on her face. Madam Feng, seeing this, didn't intend to make things difficult for her. She waved her hand and said lightly, "Get up. It was because I was afraid of passing on my illness to you that I didn't let you come."
After speaking, she beckoned to Feng Yunhe and Feng Zhao and wiped away tears, somewhat excitedly saying, "Come here, let Grandma take a look. It's been two or three months since I last saw you, and you've grown taller again."
Feng Yunhe loved her grandmother, just as his grandmother loved him. Hearing his grandmother's words, how could he contain himself? He immediately ran a few steps forward and knelt down in front of Madam Feng, his tone filled with excitement.
"Grandma, I miss you so much."
"Good child, get up quickly. Come and see Grandma whenever you want in the future, Grandma will have delicious food prepared for you here."
"Okay." Feng Yunhe nodded heavily.
In the past, he felt that he was not favored by his father, and his mother was often worried. Only in front of his grandmother could he be his happy self, so he was especially close to Madam Feng.
But now, he preferred Aunt's courtyard, where he was not constrained and could still have someone guide him to progress, giving him a sense of carefree joy.
"Ah, my nephew still loves his mother the most. Although his daughter has been serving you well these days, what he wants most in his heart is the food and snacks in your room."
After saying this, she looked like she had been abandoned, causing everyone to laugh heartily.
Whatever grievances there were in the past, they were all gone at this moment.
Seeing Madam Feng's sincere smile, the three generations of the family were happy, and Madam Feng even showed a bit of surprise and warmth in her eyes when she looked at Madam Wen.
Madam Wen felt a bit shy and covered her face with her hands, but the happiness in the corners of her eyes revealed her thoughts.
Outside, Madam Bai arranged a table full of lunch, all of which were everyone's favorites.
Just as the family was about to start eating, they heard the voice of the guard Fu Yi from outside.
"Master, Young Master from the Wen family is here, saying he has important matters to discuss with you."
The Wen family!
It's Wen Mengsheng again!
Feng Jinyao was so excited that she accidentally knocked over the dishes and plates, causing a crisp sound that puzzled everyone.
"Ah Yao, what's wrong with you?" Madam Feng asked anxiously.
Afraid that everyone would worry, Feng Jinyao swallowed the resentment, quickly adjusted her mood, and said to everyone.
"I slipped a bit, it's nothing."
Quick-witted Amber hurriedly helped her maid clean up the mess.
On the side, Feng Yunhe couldn't help but feel a bit strange, staring at his aunt Feng Jinyao with a more serious and worried expression.
"What's wrong with you?" Feng Jinyao was shaken out of her thoughts by her mother's words, and her mother and Madam Wen looked at her with a bit of concern, "Are you tired lately?"
With such a large family fortune handed over to her, dealing with various matters without touching the ground, and still having to worry about everything, Madam Feng, with her many years of experience, remained calm and composed. It was Feng Jinyao who had just taken over, and she was afraid that she might not be able to handle it all.
Following her mother's words, she continued, "Daughter is still young and inexperienced in handling some matters. Mother, why don't you assign some tasks to Sister-in-law? I heard from my eldest brother that when Sister-in-law was still in her family, she was exceptionally capable, and now that she's in good health, it's natural to let her take on some responsibilities."
Madam Feng was somewhat surprised at her sudden mention of this and looked at Madam Wen with increased vigilance.
Seeing that she was even more surprised than herself, the bit of displeasure in her heart disappeared, and after thinking for a while, she nodded.
"It's been a few years since Eldest Daughter-in-law married into the family. Before, she was unable to manage the household due to her poor health, but now that she's better, she should take on the responsibilities of the family. How about this, you can hand over the New Year's household affairs and other matters first and Eldest Daughter-in-law will take care of them. When you're familiar with everything, you can hand over all the keys next spring to let her be prepared."
With just a meal's time, she actually had the power in her hands.
Madam Wen was dumbfounded but she wasn't a fool. This was her younger sister-in-law giving her face and she couldn't lose face.
Summoning her courage, she got up and solemnly bowed to Madam Feng, "Thank you, Mother, for your trust. Your daughter-in-law will definitely handle these matters well."
Feng Yunhe looked at his mother, no longer as obedient as before, and felt very happy inside.
All of this was thanks to Aunt Feng Jinyao's credit. Looking at her smiling face at this moment, he felt grateful.
