Transmigrating as the Buddha-like Main Consort of a Power Minister

Chapter 50: Intoxication

The next day, Ji Wan'er woke up naturally and checked the time at Nanny Dong's place. When it was close to her finishing work, she went to the tailor's shop to find her and talked about having dinner together that night. Nanny Dong agreed.

Around the hour of You (Rooster - 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.), Nanny Dong and her family arrived.

Perhaps in an unfamiliar place, they felt a stronger bond between them than before, especially between Ji Huaijing and Xiao Qingming. Ji Huaijing had always admired Xiao Qingming. When his sister had just gotten married, he wanted to discuss academic matters with his brother-in-law. Unfortunately, his brother-in-law was indifferent to him at that time. To be precise, his brother-in-law had that kind of attitude towards everyone.

Now, his brother-in-law treated him much better. Whenever he had difficulties, his brother-in-law would earnestly answer his questions.

Nanny Dong looked at her son's eager appearance and said to her daughter, "When your younger brother can pass the imperial examination, I will be at ease."

Ji Wan'er thought about the plot in the book and remembered Xiao Qingming's private evaluation of Ji Huaijing. She smiled and said, "Mother, rest assured, my younger brother has been clever since he was young. He will definitely pass the imperial examination."

Nanny Dong had also heard the teacher say that her son was clever, but there were many clever people, while those who could pass the imperial examination were few and far between.

"Ah, I hope he has that destiny."

"He will."

With the family reunited, everyone was in a good mood. During the meal, they had some drinks, and the atmosphere became even better. After becoming familiar with each other, it became easier to talk.

While toasting, Nanny Dong brought up something from many years ago.

"Qingming, before the age of six, Wan'er lived with me and your father-in-law in the capital. Although we were servants, we were servants of the Marquis's household, different from ordinary families. At that time, we lived together in a big courtyard. She had a privileged upbringing and never experienced hardships. Later, when we returned to the village, both her father and I cherished her and didn't want her to do any work. Perhaps that's why she developed a delicate temperament. If she does something wrong, be more tolerant towards her. If it really doesn't work, come find me, and I'll mediate for you."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Qingming quickly stood up and said, "Mother-in-law, please don't say that. Wan'er is good, she has always been good. It's because of my incompetence that I let her suffer with me."

Ji Wan'er was about to speak, but Nanny Dong glanced at her and stopped her from speaking.

Meanwhile, Nanny Dong continued, "Seeing her running the shop all by herself now, to be honest, it pains my heart. But as I see her doing better and better, I feel relieved. She's young right now, and a little hardship is nothing. With the family having money, Yun Shuang and Zi An living well, and you being able to focus on your studies, as long as you study well and achieve success, these hardships won't matter."

Nanny Dong's words praised her daughter's achievements. She spoke intentionally, but in a way that didn't make people dislike her.

"Mother-in-law, rest assured, I will study hard and achieve success, allowing my wife to live a good life." While saying these words, Xiao Qingming glanced at Ji Wan'er.

Nanny Dong was quite satisfied with her son-in-law's assurance, nodded, and responded, "Hmm."

After that, the topic wasn't brought up again.
