When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1447 Jin Yue 48
"I'll do the rough work on the farm for you whenever I have time, and I'll try my best not to make you suffer."

Wei Shi huddled in the carriage, hugging her knees. In the morning, she was the glamorous Duchess; in the afternoon, she was a peasant woman banished to a farm. A world of difference, but what could she do?
Could it be that he really wants to die?
The Wei family was unwilling to accept this.

She schemed and plotted against Lin Jinyue for her family's sake, ultimately causing the deaths of Lin Jinyue and Cheng Sui. But what about her family? Did they just stand by and watch? If she's not doing well, her family shouldn't expect to be either!
At this moment, Wei harbored resentment towards her maternal family.

She twisted her handkerchief: "After you get to the village, send an invitation to your maternal grandparents and ask them to come to the village to reminisce. I've never done those kinds of work before, so they'll have to help me."

"How can I farm and reclaim wasteland all by myself?"

"Why should I be the only one suffering while those who benefited live comfortably?"

Cheng Qian agreed with Wei's words: "I will send a letter to my maternal grandfather tonight."

Madam Wei was barely satisfied; if she couldn't have a good time, no one else could either. She couldn't do anything to Tan You, Lin Jinyue, or Cheng Sui, but what about her own family? Could she really do nothing about them?

If her maternal family doesn't help, she'll have Cheng Qian sabotage them. The Wei family can't gain a foothold in the imperial court without the help of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Tan You placed a piece on the board: "The Wei family... is about to descend into chaos."

Lin Jinyue helped Cheng Sui try on the newly made clothes: "They fit perfectly."

"Is Wei trying to drag her own family into this mess? Would she really be willing to do that?"

"What's there to be reluctant about? She's already struggling to take care of herself, so how can she care about others? Even if she wanted to help others, she would first have to make sure she has the strength to do so herself."

Tan You played chess with herself: "Now she's been driven to a dead end, and the root cause is still her family. She won't reflect on her actions; she'll only take her anger out on them."

Cheng Sui, always eager for excitement, asked, "Mother, are you coming to the village to watch a play tomorrow?"

Lin Jinyue shook her head: "You guys go ahead, I'm not interested in dogfighting. Girl, I just want to stay in Qinglanggan, read books, do embroidery and write every day, I don't want to care about anything else."

Tan You: "You're just stuck in Qinglanggan all day, dreaming of becoming an immortal?"

Lin Jinyue put down the embroidery hoop: "I just find these things rather boring."

"If we're talking about fairies, aren't you the fairy, young lady?"

Tan You didn't pressure her: "It depends on your mood. If you're not comfortable living in the Duke's mansion, then go for a walk around the capital. Now that the Lin family has returned to Jiangnan, Lin Jinzhu is dead, and Wei has gone to the estate, there's no one to bother you anymore."

"The world is vast, you can go anywhere."

Lin Jinyue was tempted, but she suppressed it and said, "No rush. Yun-ge needs to study to build a foundation. After Yun-ge passes the imperial examination, I will travel with him."

Cheng Sui nodded: "Mother, I will study hard and take you to travel the world as soon as possible."

-

Although Wei was exiled to the estate by Tan You, neither the estate manager nor the villagers knew it. Especially since Cheng Qian had come with them, the estate manager and several village women cleaned the place up spotless.

Cheng Qian personally chopped wood and carried water, while Wei helped out with some minor tasks.

She knew that once Cheng Qian left, she and the two old women from the Duke's manor who had accompanied him would be the only ones left on the estate. They weren't her people, but rather her spies; they were there to keep an eye on her and relay messages to Tan You at any time.

Therefore, she has to learn these things herself. Tan You is a woman of her word; since she is going to atone for her sins on the estate, she certainly won't let herself reap the benefits without doing so.

That's why they say the person who knows you best is your enemy. Over the past few years, Wei has pondered Tan You every day and has come to understand some of her temperament. She is decisive in killing, but not indiscriminate in her killings.

She is a typical person who focuses on the issue, not the person; even if she is dissatisfied with herself, she can still speak out impartially.

If... if she hadn't done these things, would Tan You have been much kinder to her?

Wei gripped the firewood tightly. She couldn't change the past, but from now on, she wanted to try to reform herself. Not because Tan You was keeping her in check, but because she wanted to gain Tan You's special treatment.

That evening, before returning to the Duke's mansion, Cheng Qian first visited the Wei family. The Wei family treated Cheng Qian with great courtesy, mainly because of his status as the heir of the Duke's mansion.

Where do all these genuine friendships come from among adults? It's all about mutual benefit.

Cheng Qian sat down in the main hall without drinking the tea that was served. He glanced at the Wei family members, his gaze lingering on Wei Qian and Wei He.

"Mother went to the estate on the outskirts of the city today. She will stay there for a long time to burn incense, worship Buddha, and cultivate her mind and character. My two cousins ​​should visit the estate every ten days when they have time."

"It doesn't matter what you do, you can fetch water, chop wood, or farm."

Uncle Wei's face darkened. "What do you mean?"

Cheng Qian glanced at him, his expression complex. Wei Ruoyu was his only legitimate daughter, whom he had taken as a concubine, and who ultimately died. Ultimately, Cheng Qian felt some guilt towards Wei Ruoyu.

Even though Uncle Wei has illegitimate daughters and sons, Wei Ruoyu is the only legitimate daughter.

“My mother committed too many sins in the past few years, and now she is just slowly paying for them.”

"Uncle, please don't overthink it."

Uncle Wei gritted his teeth. How could he not overthink it? After paying the money in the past few years, the Wei family had been safe and sound, and they had consciously reduced their contact with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. But they never expected that Cheng Qian would come to their door after five years.

They specifically requested that Wei Qian and Wei He go to the estate to do rough work.

What is Cheng Qian planning to do?
Wei Qian's biological mother, Zhao, who was also Wei's second maternal uncle's wife, cried and wailed, "Wei Qian is a scholar, he is weak, how can he do such rough work?"

"Your Highness, you're forcing your own cousins ​​to their deaths!"

Cheng Qian's eyes sharpened: "My mother ended up in this state all because of her maternal grandparents' schemes. If Ruoyu hadn't entered the household as a concubine, if she had raised Lin Ge'er properly and hadn't tried to climb the social ladder by associating with the Lin family, how could things have turned out this way?"

"In order to elevate her maternal grandparents' family to a higher level, my mother openly and secretly mistreated Lin Shi, and even conspired with Ruoyu to murder Lin Shi. Now that my mother is in trouble, are my maternal grandparents just going to stand by and do nothing?"

He truly hated the Wei family. If it weren't for their instigation, he wouldn't have become so estranged from Lin Jinyue. Even if he didn't like Lin Jinyue, he wouldn't have harmed her.

Liu said tremblingly, "We gave her money, and she said she wouldn't pursue the matter further."

Cheng Qian forced a smile: "Yes, she did say that it wasn't her idea to have her two cousins ​​go to the estate to help out."

Uncle Wei stood up: "Is this your idea?"

Cheng Qian said firmly, "Yes, that's what I mean. My mother was forced to live a poor life on the estate because of you, so why should you enjoy her kindness while living a comfortable life in the capital?"
