At this point, Xiumei muttered: "I wonder when Mama Xu will arrive."
Mama Xu was Wei Ruo's nanny, who was so kind to Wei Ruo. In the original book, she was the only one who protected Wei Ruo until the end, and ultimately lost her life for the sake of the original protagonist.
In this life, Wei Ruo had terminated her employment with the He family early on and let her go out to do business with her husband. Wei Ruo provided her with advice behind the scenes.
Wei Ruo's initial idea was to repay the nanny and let the couple live a good life together.
But the couple insisted on leaving all these properties to Wei Ruo, insisting that they were only temporarily taking care of Wei Ruo.
The couple gave all the money they earned to Wei Ruo and took only some for themselves.
When leaving Mojiazha, Wei Ruo left a letter to this old couple at the village entrance. Considering the timeline, if the nanny saw the letter, she should have been on her way to Taizhou Prefecture.
Like Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan also received several large wooden boxes.
After opening it and seeing that the copper wares inside were not very valuable, Wei Qingwan could not help but feel disappointed.
Mo mo Li, beside Wei Qingwan, helped Wei Qingwan count the things that Yun Shi sent over, then frowned and said:
"Miss, the things sent from Beijing seem to be much worse than those sent on previous New Year’s festivals. In previous years, they were all good gifts like silk and satin, but this year I did not see a single piece of those."
Wei Qingwan lowered her head with a desolate expression and murmured: "I am not the Wei family's direct granddaughter after all. The elder's willingness to keep me in the family tree is already a grace. Those silks, satins, pearls and jades are naturally going to be sent to the direct granddaughter of the Wei family, so there is nothing for an outsider like me.”
“Miss, what nonsense are you talking about? Master, Madam, and Young Masters, who in this mansion do not recognize you as a Miss? You are not an outsider!”
“What is the use of that? The family elder's meaning is very clear. I am not worthy to be the daughter of Wei's family……”
Wei Qingwan's eyes were red, and the tears that she had not finished crying in Yun Shi's room couldn't stop flowing now.
Mo mo Li looked around and saw no one around, so she approached Wei Qingwan and whispered in her ear:
“Miss, please don't be discouraged. You see, nowadays, the master is the only one of the three lords who has a promising future. And among the few young masters, our young master is the most promising. At the age of twelve, he became a scholar, and in two years, he will become a successful candidate in the imperial provincial examination. His future is limitless!”
“Miss, you have the favor of the master and the young master, and in the future, you will live a life that ordinary people cannot compare to! The recognition of your grand-uncle is not so important to you!”
Mo mo Li's analysis was clear and reasonable, and Wei Qingwan also listened a bit, but she still felt uneasy. She lowered her head and murmured about her confusion and helplessness in the past few days:
"But the love of my father, mother and elder brother is going to be shared with my elder sister now…… I don't want my elder sister to share the love that my father, mother, and elder brother have for me. It is just that with my current status, in the Colonel's Mansion, the only thing I can rely on is the love my parents and elder brother have for me..."
“These days, I constantly tell myself not to resent the unfairness of heaven to let me encounter such things; not to resent others, and let me fall from the clouds into the mud. After Wei Qingruo entered the mansion, I often went to see her, expressing my goodwill and hoping to get along well in the future.”
“But when I learned about the family elder's arrangement, I was scared as I thought about the kind elder who had treated me so nicely. If Wei Qingruo had begged for the position of eldest daughter, I would not have felt so uncomfortable. But this was given by the elder without Wei Qingruo making any fuss or begging, which shows how much the elder values her."
