Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 21 Afterwards
Regardless of the rights and wrongs beforehand, Xiaodie's fate was sealed after Shenghong left that night.

After Sheng Hong spoke up and Wang Ruofu took charge, the master decided to return Xiao Die's indenture, give her the set of clothes she was wearing, and then kick her out without any further action!

This was only after Wei Shuyi pleaded with Madam Wang, who was overjoyed for her daughter Sheng Hualan and thought she had accumulated many blessings. Otherwise, let alone returning Xiaodie's indenture, she might have been sold directly to some brothel.

After all, there was Zhou Xueniang, who was eyeing them covetously, standing nearby.

Good heavens, Zhou Xueniang has been holding a grudge against Xiaodie for what she said when she asked for charcoal. In her heart, she couldn't wait for Xiaodie to suffer a miserable end!

Because of her "moral failings," Xiaodie was driven out of the Sheng family mansion with nothing. However, to prevent Xiaodie from starving to death on the streets or being sold off by her heartless uncle, Wei Shuyi specially sent Xiao Xiaotao to keep an eye on Xiaodie's whereabouts and gave her his last bracelet, which was his mother's heirloom that he had almost pawned, hoping that Xiaodie could use it as her means of survival.

……

Since the incident with Xiaodie, Wei Xiaoniang's treatment in the courtyard has improved considerably.

Do not!
It's much better, to say the least!

The more hardship they endured before, the more blessings they now enjoy. In fact, after learning that Wei Xiaoniang's courtyard had no servants, Lin Qinshuang specially transferred two young maids over to serve her.

I forgot to mention that because the matter was resolved "perfectly," Lin Qinshuang still holds the key to the Sheng Mansion and continues to manage household affairs for Madam Wang during this period.

In Wei Xiaoniang's courtyard.

Although the room was warm with the charcoal fire back in, Wei Shuyi felt the opposite.

Despite his table being laden with rare tonics such as bird's nest and ginseng soup, Wei Shuyi felt uneasy, as if he had forgotten something.

However, children don't have as many thoughts.

Although Minglan and Xiaotao were saddened by Xiaodie's departure, children are often forgetful, especially when they see all the delicious food in front of them; their hearts can't hold anything else.

At Wei Shuyi's suggestion, not only Minglan but also Xiaotao ate their fill of these nourishing supplements!
"Yeah~"

After Sheng Minglan had a good meal, she was about to turn around and have a private chat with her mother when she suddenly noticed that Wei Shuyi was acting strangely.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Minglan was puzzled to see her mother looking sullen at the table full of delicacies. Even Xiao Tao, who was happily eating from a small bowl, stopped eating and looked at the two people sitting at the table.

"Auntie!"

Why do you seem unhappy?

Sheng Minglan was still young and didn't understand her mother's thoughts at all.

"Haha! Nothing!"

Wei Xiaoniang smiled faintly, but didn't say much. After all, little Minglan was only three or four years old at the time, and saying too much might not be good!
"Ming'er, don't worry! Your mother is just worried about Xiaodie."

Wei Shuyi's expression was indifferent, but he didn't say much.

"Oh!"

Little Minglan was easily fooled by her mother. She glanced at Xiao Tao, who had already secretly finished eating, and turned to Wei Xiaoniang, saying, "Mother, shall I go out and play with Xiao Tao?"

"Yeah! Go ahead!"

Coincidentally, Wei Shuyi also wanted to be alone at this time to think about his own affairs.

"Ok!"

Minglan nodded emphatically, then grabbed Xiaotao's hand and ran off happily.

"Xiao Tao, let's go quickly!"

"Oh!" Little Peach responded blankly, then said something to Wei Xiaoniang.

"Young lady, well... I'm leaving..."

To this, Wei Shuyi simply nodded and said gently, "Yes, go ahead!"

"whee……"

The children's innocent and joyful laughter gradually faded away, leaving only Wei Shuyi sitting alone in the room.

"Ah~"

Wei Shuyi carefully propped herself up, supporting her belly as she slowly approached the soft couch on the other side.

"My child, my child, what do you think your mother should do?"

Slowly sitting down and leaning back, Wei Shuyi stroked her belly while quietly lost in thought.

At this time, she was already in her sixth month of pregnancy, and the baby would be born in a few months.

"The Sheng family... is not what it used to be..."

Once upon a time?

What was "before"? It was nothing more than the poor but united Wei family of the past!
A lonely, melancholy sound echoed faintly in the warm yet eerily chilling room.

……

Meanwhile, the little one in her belly, Meng Yue...

Since transmigrating, he has only been awake for about 15 minutes each day, and most of that is late at night when his mother is resting.

Therefore, for Mr. Meng, who was eager to understand the world, this was somewhat cruel and unsatisfactory!

However, besides that, something even more important, and also the most painful, happened to him.

"what happened?"

Why...do I always feel like my head is foggy?

This time, once Meng Yue regained consciousness, he finally noticed another problem with himself.

"Ah? This is it?"

The longer she was gestating in the placenta, the stronger Meng Yue felt herself becoming, little by little!

It is truly powerful!
With the improvement of organs and the replenishment of flesh and blood, even the shapeless body gradually took on a human-like appearance.

However, as Meng Yue gradually became familiar with his body, he suddenly realized that his mind seemed to be filled with a large amount of information.

This information was like a tangled mess, requiring him to constantly expend energy to organize, summarize, and even absorb it.

The main reason why he continues to sleep as he matures is that his brain consumes too much of his energy.

Moreover, whether by sheer coincidence or by design, just as Meng Yue was replenishing his energy reserves with a large amount of nourishment, the external host body also absorbed a considerable amount of rare and precious tonics, providing timely energy replenishment for Meng Yue.

Therefore, this ensured Meng Yue's healthy growth.

At least, that's the case for now.

At this moment, within the half-quarter of his conscious moment, Meng Yue finally understood what was in his mind!

It turned out that the information was actually the ancient historical materials that he had downloaded, as well as the "dealing materials" that his "son" had painstakingly accumulated - Zhang's Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine!
