The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 374 Invitation (2)
A few women came over with a smile and pulled the curtain, respectfully welcomed Zhao Jing in, and said with a smile on their faces: "Madam Hou please, my young mistress is still waiting inside!"

Zhao Jing entered the curtain, bypassed a large Ruyi agarwood screen with flowers blooming all the year round, and saw Liu Qingyan reclining on the arhat couch cushioned with hibiscus mat inside.Zhao Jing has also seen the decoration of Aunt Zhu's Xingyue Building before, and it is luxurious and exquisite.

Liu Qingyan looked a little lazy, seeing Zhao Jing coming in, she got up from the Arhat couch, went up to her personally, blessed her body and said: "In this hot weather, it is troublesome to trouble Mrs. Hou to run away." This time."

Zhao Jing returned the salute to her, but the man had already pulled her and led her to sit down on the mahogany rose armchair beside her.Her eyes flicked around for a while, and the two women and the maids who were serving them all retreated.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Jing knew that she must have something important to say to herself, so she opened her mouth and said to Lu Wu, "You should also wait outside the door, I called you to come in."

Although Lu Wu was a little worried, there was nothing she could do, so she nodded and followed Liu Qingyan's maid to the door.

There are several large blue and white porcelain vats around the room, in which there are cellars of ice to dry, making the whole room cool and suitable, Zhao Jing even felt a little cold, but fortunately the cup of tea in her hand was hot.

"Uncle Guo invited me over, what's the matter?" Zhao Jing didn't drink the tea, but warmed it in her palm for a while, then put down the teacup and asked.

Liu Qingyan didn't wait for Zhao Jing to finish speaking, she had already knelt down in front of Zhao Jing, she was already a famous talented woman in the capital, but now her appearance made people feel more and more pitiful.

Zhao Jing was so startled that she almost poured over the teacup, she just bent down to support her and said: "Why is Mrs. Guo doing this, wouldn't you kill me?"

There were little tears in Liu Qingyan's eyes, which was very different from her previous capable, self-reliant, and proud appearance. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and stood up following Zhao Jing's support, restraining her crying a bit He said: "Mrs. Hou, I didn't want to be so abrupt, but... It's just that there is no one else in this world who can persuade him except you."

Zhao Jing naturally knew who Liu Qingyan was talking about, but...she didn't know why she would say such a thing.Even if there was some misunderstanding between her and Wei Mingzhen before, it would not be appropriate for a dignified uncle and wife to say such a thing.

"Why did Mrs. Guo make such a statement? There is nothing between me and Mrs. Guo..." Zhao Jing's heart twisted slightly when she said this sentence. came to mind.

If we talk about Wei Mingzhen's appearance, he is eight or nine times like Mrs. Zhulei, which is probably the reason why more men look like their mothers. As for himself, apart from the very similar pair of eyes, other facial features are not as similar as Wei Mingzhen's.Besides, there is a difference between men and women, and the two have no relatives or reasons, so no one has mentioned that she and Wei Mingzhen look similar before.

"Madam really doesn't know?" Liu Qingyan looked at Zhao Jing in a daze, frowned at her for a moment, turned around, took out a picture scroll from the Arhat couch, and handed it to Zhao Jing, "Madam Once you see this, you will understand."

Liu Qingyan's fingertips trembled slightly. The Empress Dowager Wei did not tell Zhao Jing the truth, but she could not see Wei Mingzhen being so obsessed. Since Mrs. Zhulei has other children in this world, Wei Mingzhen should return to Ningyuan Hou's Mansion. Being the uncle of the country peacefully, revitalized the Wei family.

The cold scroll fell to her fingertips, Zhao Jing was slightly stunned, but she felt a little scared in her heart, and couldn't help but said: "This...what is this?" It was obviously a cool room, but Zhao Jing felt that her own His back was already slightly damp with sweat, and the fingers holding the scroll hadn't moved yet.

She paused, bit her lip after all, and slowly opened the scroll.What came into view was a small portrait of a woman, Zhao Jing only took one look and recognized that it was Mrs. Zhulei.She was about to speak, but Liu Qingyan over there spoke first: "Madam Hou was startled, right? But don't worry, the woman in this painting is not you."

Zhao Jing couldn't help but raised her head after hearing this, Liu Qingyan frowned slightly, and said lightly: "When I first saw this scroll, I also thought that Uncle Guo painted his wife, after all...Uncle Guo I like Madam, many people in the palace know about it." She paused here, and then her eyes fell on the scroll in Zhao Jing's hand, and she said slowly: "I only found out later that the person in this painting is There is another person, everyone calls her Mrs. Pearl Tears."

After Liu Qingyan finished speaking, she raised her head, looked at Zhao Jing quietly for a moment, and then continued: "She is Uncle Guo's biological mother, and also... Madam, your biological mother."
