Seeing that Mrs. Deng had really been offended, Mrs. Su did not dare to neglect her. She hurriedly stayed to have a long talk with her mother to explain, lest Shen Zangning would be forced to stay in the Su Mansion by Mrs. Deng from now on. Shen Xuan had always loved this daughter the most. How could she? Will you ask? It was difficult for others to hear what he said inside to coax his mother, so he sent his daughters-in-law to go back to the banquet first.
Wei Changying held his forehead and walked outside. Even the Liu family and Duanmu family couldn't bear it anymore, and sighed: "Three younger brothers and sisters... why don't you go to the nearby monastery to have a rest?" Three weddings in two months, three weddings in three months. It’s no big deal that every wedding has been a big farce. Every farce has something to do with Wei Changying. Although everyone knows that Wei Changying is unjust, they can’t stand this omen—there will be marriages in the future. , I'm afraid no one would dare to invite her to the scene.
"...Thank you two sisters-in-law, but no need." Wei Changying put down his hand and said with a forced smile. She is now sincerely praying that Queen Gu will not be free to call her into the palace tomorrow to apologize. She feels that she needs to go to her second uncle's house to vent her anger!
With such a mood, Xi San returned to the house. Perhaps it was God's spirit, but the news did not come out in the palace until the evening. It was said that Queen Gu believed that Princess Qingxin's fall had nothing to do with Wei Changying, and there was no need to worry about it. Asking for forgiveness for a trivial matter was a tactful rejection of the request to enter the palace.
Mrs. Su breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the reply and joked: "It's still hot today and we are tired from going to the banquet. The Queen is too tired to think about it and is not willing to bother."
Wei Changying thanked God and said: "The Queen is considerate. I don't have to work for my mother this time. My daughter-in-law can't be more unfilial."
"Good people are bullied!" Mrs. Su narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "Mrs. Song has been away from Beijing for too long. Young girls whose parents love them too much will always become arrogant and have few etiquette. In the end, they still have to have The old lady looks more disciplined. Like Zang Ning, she is spoiled by your father. I can't help but watch her. Your grandmother said that I don't love Zang Ning. How is this possible? It's just that your father is already so indulgent. She's gone, she's a fool again, I won't give her enough rules here, from now on... "
Wei Changying did not dare to comment on the way his mother-in-law taught his sister-in-law. He only smiled and said: "The fourth sister is the mother's biological daughter. How can the mother not think about the fourth sister? Mother does everything for the good of the fourth sister."
Mrs. Su sighed: "Isn't it?" After all, after being in charge of the family for decades, the eldest granddaughter is almost talking about her relatives. Although Mrs. Su was a little embarrassed because her mother scolded her in front of her daughters-in-law for not caring about her biological daughter, she As for this, he couldn't help but complain to his wife about his grievances... But after what he said just now, he suppressed it and said, "Since you are going to your uncle's place tomorrow, just arrange the things that can be arranged today."
Wei Changying knew that he was chasing people away, so he stood up and said, "Yes."
When he returned to Jintongyuan, he called the stewards and told them that he was going out tomorrow and asked them to hand over what they could decide today.
He was so busy that he finished it when it was time to light the lanterns, and went to the banquet during the day. Wei Changying felt very tired, so he asked Zhu Shi to come in and rub his shoulders. At the same time, he discussed with Huang and He what to do when they went to see Wei Shengyi tomorrow. .
Naturally, Mr. He was shouting about beating and killing - Wei Changying was too tired to pay attention and asked Mr. Huang directly. Mr. Huang said: "I am afraid that the second lady has concealed these things from the second master, for fear that Wei Changjuan will Because of this, he was severely beaten. The young lady passed the note before, and maybe the second lady will try to send the second master out tomorrow to avoid the young lady, and then the second lady will deal with the young lady alone. "
The implication is that you should not be too polite when you come over tomorrow. The second lady has no sincerity in apologizing.
Wei Changying sneered slightly and said: "The imperial capital is so big, where can the second uncle go?" He added, "It was already more than half a month ago that cousin Su came out of the cabinet. How come the second uncle is still here now?" Didn’t you hear the news? Isn’t it said that the second uncle is very smart?”
Mr. Huang sneered and said, "If you keep it a secret for a few days, as time passes, it won't be a big deal if the second master gets angry."
"Second uncle, are you just going to let them go like this?" Wei Changying was stunned.
Mrs. Huang muttered: "Before, it was all trivial matters. For example, Wei Changjuan caused some minor troubles at home."
Wei Changying thought for a moment and said: "Tomorrow... let's see what the second uncle says first. After all, he is the elder."
Huang seemed to want to say something, but still said: "Yes."
At this time, the guard chief Ying was also tired, so he asked Zhu Shi to stop and ordered the arrangements.
Early the next morning, Wei Changying went to the upper room to say hello, and then he took Huang, He, and all his servants to the Wei Mansion.
The second wife obviously knew why she came. The people who came out to greet her were Min Yao, the wife of Wei Changyun and the daughter of the Min family in Quyin, and Zhou Xiaoyi, the wife of Wei Changsui and the daughter of the Zhou family in Xilin.
The two cousins-in-law greeted the sister-in-law in the next room together, which was considered very solemn. Moreover, both of them were very polite. They had only passed through two doors before they apologized with nice words and angrily: "My mother has not been very happy these days, and she has not been able to participate in several happy events. Yesterday When the elder sister came back and told the story, she found out that the seventh sister had sinned and offended the third sister... Mother had already had someone beat the third sister severely, and was about to ask us to go and apologize to the third sister! "
Wei Changying was very unhappy when he heard these words. He thought to himself that Mrs. Huang had really said it. This second aunt was obviously just perfunctory: Wei Changjuan didn't just cause trouble for him yesterday or the day before yesterday. Su Yuli came out of the cabinet. I didn't see my second wife send someone over to explain to me what happened that day. Now I see that I have come to ask questions, but I pretend to be sick and say that I have beaten my daughter - are I treating myself like a fool
Her face darkened, and her eyes moved towards Mr. He. Mr. He understood and answered in a strange tone: "You two young ladies must not say this. How can our young ladies dare to apologize to the seventh lady? This is There are three happy events in two months, and there is no one that is not troubled! Every time, Miss Seven is the one who makes trouble! Miss Seven just likes to make trouble, and every time she comes to our young lady! It’s almost hard to go out! How dare you ask Miss Seven to come to the house? Will our young lady be able to live in the future?”
When Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoyi heard this, they were unwilling to give up, and their expressions changed. Before they could think of words to say back and forth, Mr. He said again: "Our madams all said yesterday, is it something that happened after our young madam came out of the cabinet?" I'm so busy that I didn't come back to visit other than going home, which made the Second Madam dislike me. Do you want the Seventh Young Lady to use these methods to remind our Young Madam? "
Of course, she couldn't admit this. Min Yao said hurriedly: "It's nothing, aunt, please don't misunderstand me!" After saying this, she felt that Wei Changying had never spoken. After all, she was her cousin-in-law, and now she was chasing her sister-in-law. The dowry aunt explained that the price had actually dropped, and hurriedly said to Wei Changying, "Third sister, this is a huge misunderstanding! Mother often said that third sister grew up in Fengzhou and married far away to the imperial capital. We should be more considerate. You must not cause trouble to the third sister! How could you allow the seventh sister to be disrespectful to the third sister?"
Zhou Xiaoye also said: "This is all because of Seventh Sister's ignorance, plus that little guy has ulterior motives and instigates her."
Wei Changying said calmly: "I am very confused as to what is going on. After thinking about it, even if I offended my second uncle and my second aunt, my hatred is not so great that my seventh sister chases me everywhere and ignores others. I have to be embarrassed about this great wedding, even to the point of suing Her Royal Highness for it. So the two sisters-in-law should not talk about it. When I meet my second uncle and my second aunt, I will first apologize for the crime of neglecting my uncle and aunt. , let’s find out in person, otherwise I won’t be able to explain it clearly in this short journey, which will make me even more confused.”
Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoyi looked at each other and said awkwardly: "Since the third sister said this, the sisters-in-law should stop talking." They then whispered, "It's just that my father is going out to visit friends today, but he is not at home. "
Wei Changying sneered and said to Mr. Huang in front of them: "Auntie is indeed right. Even if we wait for Xiu to come during his holiday, Second Aunt will always prevent us from seeing Second Uncle."
Huang smiled lightly and said, "Actually, the second lady can't be entirely blamed. Maybe the second master himself..."
"Third sister, don't get me wrong, father, he really had an appointment before..." Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoyi were both extremely embarrassed, whispering - it's not that these two cousins are cowardly, in fact, they are not only born Neither of them are nobles. In their respective families, although they are legitimate daughters, they are not the most favored daughters like Wei Changying and Wei Changjuan. They are quite unknown since childhood.
...After all, Mrs. Song was the one who made the decision about the marriage of Wei Changyun and Wei Changsui. Mrs. Song was as serious about choosing wives for these two grandchildren who were not related to her as she was now choosing wives for their legitimate grandson Wei Changfeng. It's exactly the same as a daughter-in-law.
It's just that Wei Changfeng was carefully chosen, but Wei Changyun and Wei Changsui... But it was the other way around. According to the background of these two grandchildren, they can marry as lowly as they can. Not only that, the temperaments of Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoye were also confirmed by Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Song. They were both quiet, dull, smart, and wealthy. The irrelevant type.
After the two got married, they were able to take care of the housework, respect their parents-in-law, and tolerate concubines. From Wei Changyun, Wei Changsui himself, to Wei Huan, no one could say that Mrs. Song's choice of grandson-in-law was not good. It's just that these two grandsons-in-law can't help Brother Wei Changyun in family life, but they are mediocre in external communication... As for making plans, don't expect them.
Now they were sent out by their mother-in-law to greet the unintentional guard Ying. Although Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoyi were not shrewd, as normal-level ladies, they were not stupid either. These third cousins are the only granddaughter of Madam Song, who is like the apple of her eye, and the husband she is marrying is the son of the Xiliang Shen family who has high hopes for her. Hearing her intention to marry her aunt, she came to ask questions this time, and it was okay. With the support of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Su, the legitimate daughter of the Su family in Qingzhou.
Such a person who even the father-in-law and mother-in-law would not dare to offend easily, their sisters-in-law and these three cousins had no grudges in the past, why bother to rush forward and not fall behind? After a few words of defense in a low voice, he simply said nothing, so as not to be blocked again and embarrassed to the point of being unable to get off the stage.
So the next section of the walk was very dull, and I could only hear the jingle of the ring... Unexpectedly, after entering the back hall, Wei Changying had already put on a cold face and was about to have a serious argument with his second aunt Duanmu, but he saw that in the hall There was only one person sitting in the first place, but it was not Duanmu, who was wearing a gorgeous skirt and hairpin, but Wei Shengyi, who was dressed in casual clothes and wearing a soft bun on his head.
Wei Changying was stunned, and Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoyi who were leading the way were also very surprised. They subconsciously bowed to see their father-in-law, but did not dare to ask where their mother-in-law had gone. The two daughters-in-law, who were not very agile in the first place, suddenly Frozen on the spot.
Judging from the reactions of the two cousins-in-law, they said earlier that their second uncle Wei Shengyi went out to visit friends, but now only the second aunt Duanmu is in charge of the house. It should be true. Captain Wei Ying was heartbroken and thought to himself that he had told Mr. Huang last night that since the second uncle was a recognized shrewd person, how could he be so easily deceived by the second aunt
Isn't it because you realized something was wrong and turned back? As for the second aunt's absence, she must have been sent away by the second uncle.
Looking at this situation, does Wei Shengyi plan to settle this matter with him alone
Wei Changying was thinking in his mind, and he felt blessed and said: "My niece, I would like to send my regards to my second uncle." (To be continued)
