Chapter 135 The Cold-blooded Supervisor of the East Factory vs. the Vicious Aunt in the Deep Palace
"There aren't that many honest men in the world. Most of them are mean and narrow-minded."
Yingsi followed behind him and muttered.
These words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but Wei Xuanzhi glanced at her and ignored her.
After a while, he stopped in front of a jade shop.
Yingsi followed his gaze and saw that this shop specialized in selling all kinds of stone materials, and there were quite a few people selecting goods inside.
There are mostly carts or horse-drawn carriages carrying goods parked outside the door.
But based on these, it is impossible to tell which one is the one she is looking for.
After standing in front of the door and watching for a while, the servant inside perhaps realized that their identities were unusual, and took the initiative to come out to greet them.
"If you two need anything, why don't you go in and take a look. I can introduce it to you."
Wei Xuanzhi still maintained his unshakable indifference, so Yingsi asked with a smile: "Excuse me, little brother, are there any people who specialize in making jade buttons among those who come to buy goods today?"
Hearing that they were not here to buy goods, the servant looked them up and down and asked, "What do you two want to do with this man?"
Yingsi took out a small piece of silver from her bosom and handed it to him with a smile: "I left home a long time ago and came back today to look for my relatives. Thank you for troubling me, little brother."
After receiving the silver, the servant smiled and replied, "To be honest, young lady, we have people from all over the country here, and many of them make jade buttons."
He paused, glanced at the man next to the girl who looked like he was not easy to mess with, and quickly said, "But there is one in the nearby county."
Yingsi asked, "But Yun County?"
The servant nodded: "Indeed, they are from Yun County. They are old customers. They don't usually come to the shop. They went directly to our Shiku to get the goods."
Before Yingsi could speak, the man said, "The stone storehouse is not far away. If you don't mind, I can lead the way for you."
Yingsi glanced at Wei Xuanzhi and was about to say thank you when someone called out from behind.
"Joruo!"
Yingsi turned around and found a woman with her hair tied up, wearing ordinary clothes and holding the vegetables she had just bought in her hands.
Although the traces of time could be seen on that woman's face, her eyes and eyebrows were surprisingly similar to hers. When he looked at her, his eyes were filled with tears, as if he couldn't believe that he could see her again.
Seeing her turn around, the woman's eyes became more determined. She ran forward excitedly and kept asking her, "Is it Ruoruo? You're back!"
The confusion in Yingsi's eyes was quickly cleared up by the boy just now.
"This is Mrs. Fang, the jade button maker in Yun County."
Yingsi understood everything, and the calmness on his face formed a sharp contrast with that woman.
"Ruoruo, are you looking for a home?" the woman asked again.
Yingsi pulled his hand back from hers and said calmly, "Yes, I want to know what your original name was."
The woman still couldn't hide her joy. She wanted to touch her face but was afraid that she would resist. She could only wipe her tears and said with a smile: "Your original surname was Fang, and your name was Fang Ruoruo."
Ying thought for a moment, took off the jade button from her neck and handed it to her.
"Do you recognize this jade button?"
The woman took the jade button and burst into tears, "Yes, it was you. Back then... Mother was really helpless..."
Yingsi looked at Wei Xuanzhi. Like her, he had no emotion on his face.
So she took a deep breath and called out in a deep voice: "Mom."
The woman cried so hard that she could hardly breathe. She nodded and agreed: "Hey, hey, my Ruoruo is finally back..."
"Mom, why are you crying again!"
A girl of about eighteen or nineteen came out from behind Mrs. Fang. She was wearing a decent silk dress, had a pretty face and a good figure.
He just walked over with a frown on his brows, seeming to have a bad temper.
When Mrs. Fang heard the voice, she smiled and called her over.
"Xuanxuan, come here quickly, this is your sister!"
Fang Xuanxuan took a few steps forward and was a little surprised when she saw Yingsi, but was suddenly stunned when she saw Wei Xuanzhi.
Such a handsome face and a temperament that is completely different from others, he is exactly the ideal husband she has dreamed of.
So she immediately straightened up and bowed to them like a lady from a noble family.
"You are polite, sir."
Yingsi raised her eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Wei Xuanzhi, who was also looking at her.
Yingsi curled her lips and looked like she was laughing at a joke, "Why are you looking at me? I'm just saying hello to you."
Wei Xuanzhi glanced at her and said calmly, "Since you have found your family, I will go back first."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for others to react, he just walked away without even looking at anyone else from beginning to end.
Yingsi retracted her gaze and looked at Fang Xuanxuan who was obviously disappointed, thinking: It would be better to fall in love with a eunuch than anyone else. There will be no guarantee of a happy life in the future.
When Mrs. Fang saw him leave, she asked curiously, "That is..."
Yingsi replied, "Sir, please send me back to find my relatives."
"Sir?" Madam Fang was startled and then looked at her again: "So what are you going to do now..."
"Maid." She said directly.
Madam Fang was stunned for a moment, then she looked relieved and said, "You are so happy to have such a mother. Life must have been difficult in the palace."
Yingsi blinked and said, "It's pretty good. The noble I serve is very good to me."
Madam Fang wanted to ask something else, but Fang Xuanxuan said impatiently, "Mom, ask me later if you have anything to say. You promised to buy me new rouge today."
Madam Fang glared at her in a reproachful manner, then took Yingsi's hand and said, "Your father is still picking up the goods. Mom will take you shopping first, and then we will go home together."
Yingsi nodded reluctantly. Although she didn't really want to recognize her relatives, this mother seemed different from what she imagined. So she decided to just treat it as adding another family member to the original owner.
Fang Xuanxuan didn't look too happy, but because Mrs. Fang was very determined in her attitude towards her, she didn't dare to show it too much.
Seeing that Yingsi was wearing very ordinary clothes, Mrs. Fang felt a little distressed and took her to the ready-made clothing shop before going to the rouge shop.
Fang Xuanxuan stamped her feet and frowned, "Mom, the money Dad gave me wasn't much to begin with. If you buy her clothes, I won't be able to buy rouge!"
Madam Fang glared at her and said angrily, "Ruoruo has been away from home for many years, and mother has never bought her anything. How can you be so ignorant?"
Yingsi sighed helplessly, looked at the dress that Madam Fang had chosen for her, and said directly to the shopkeeper, "Pack it up."
Fang Xuanxuan became even angrier when she heard this, and said coldly: "Who do you think you are? Do you want to snatch it from me?"
Yingsi didn't want to pay attention, and directly took out a silver note of 100 taels from her bosom, and turned to ask Mrs. Fang: "What else do you want to buy for me?"
Seeing her take out a hundred taels of silver so casually, Mrs. Fang and Fang Xuanxuan were speechless.
"Ruoruo, why are you..."
Yingsi glanced at the clothes at hand casually and said casually, "The noble who serves me is very generous."
