Wei Changying actually turned around and sent someone to tell Wei Zhengyin the news that Pei Meiniang asked the maid Manman to deliver. Wei Zhengyin received the news and deliberately met Deng several times on the road. After careful observation, he saw some clues.
After returning to the room, he discussed with Aunt Qu: "Deng concealed her pregnancy, obviously because she didn't want Qian to use this as an excuse to keep her in his palm. You said we..."
But Aunt Qu reminded: "Isn't it just right for the eldest young lady to leave the capital with the eldest young master? The second young lady is now at her parents' house, and the backyard is now controlled by the eldest young lady and the third young lady. If the eldest young lady leaves, then The third young lady is the only one in charge. The young ladies in our family have been in charge for many years. The third young lady is also capable. She is not a person who cannot be a householder by herself. The eldest lady can still put down her dignity and fight for power with the juniors herself. ? The third young lady is the second wife. Madam, do you think that the eldest lady can trust the third young master? I must marry the fourth young master quickly so that we can take back the power of the family! Yes, the cousin is the same age as the young master. Although they are older, they now have their eldest son. Although the young master is a man, it is not a problem to delay it any longer. Besides, the young master is currently recovering from his injuries in Ji Zhai. If the eldest wife If you act more swiftly, maybe you can settle the young master's lifelong affairs before he goes to Donghu again?"
These words made Wei Zhengyin suddenly enlightened and nodded repeatedly, wishing that the Deng family would leave the imperial capital as soon as possible. When I thought about it carefully, I was afraid that she was trying her best to hide her morning sickness. Don't have a miscarriage due to the bumps on the road. That would be troublesome if she came back to recuperate. After all, Wei Zhengyin had already been a good person once when it came to Su Yuli's leaving the cabinet. This time, in order to resolve his son's life-long matter as soon as possible, he simply acted like a good person again and asked all kinds of information from Ji Qubing and Huang. I also asked for some prescriptions for miscarriage protection, fetal safety, and fetal maintenance, and also asked for some prescription medicines for emergencies. I packed these things and covered them with other things outside.
Taking advantage of the darkness and before the door of the courtyard was locked, he sent the clever maid to deliver it quietly, telling the maid that she would rather fail to deliver it next time than let Qian find out.
Fortunately, because Mrs. Qian didn't know that Mrs. Deng was pregnant, and Mrs. Deng had always been submissive, Mrs. Qian didn't pay too much attention to her yard. In addition, even if Deng is Qian's puppet, she is still the direct young lady in charge of the family, and she also has some confidants. The maid delivered it smoothly, and returned to the third room and told Wei Zhengyin: "The young lady was shocked when she saw the maid just now. When she saw the clothes the maid sent, she was confused at first. The maid I asked her to open it, and when the young lady saw it, she understood the painstaking efforts she had made, and she burst into tears. "
Not only that, "The eldest young lady heard from the maid that the madam had discovered her pregnancy a long time ago, and also knew why she hid it, but she was the eldest daughter-in-law after all, and the relationship between the madam and the eldest lady... I was afraid that the more I spoke to her, the more It hurt her more, so she could only pretend not to know. However, Lingnan was far away from the imperial capital, and there were many mountain roads in the middle. It was really bumpy, so I was worried about the inconvenience for the young lady on the road, so I sent someone privately to collect some prescriptions that might be useful. It's all together, and there are some patent medicines, all from Divine Doctor Ji. The usage and purpose of the medicines are written on the paper. She is afraid that the young lady will not be able to prepare the medicine on the way or in Lingnan... In short, the madam knows the young lady. Madam is feeling pain in her heart, and she also knows that it has been difficult for the young lady at home these years, but I hope that the young lady can give birth to her son safely and smoothly this time, and that the mother and child are safe."
The maid was a little moved when she said this, and after a pause she said, "The young lady stood up from her seat at that time, and without saying a word, she kowtowed three times towards our third room! The maids on the left and right She couldn't hold her back! If the aunt beside her hadn't told her to be careful, the young lady would have kept knocking her down! After the young lady got up, she told her maid in tears that she must tell her: She will never forget your kindness in this life! Whatever you ask her to do in the future, she will do it for you even if she has to die! If there is another life, she will be willing to work for you!"
Wei Zhengyin's original intention to help his niece-in-law was selfish. Now when the maid said that Deng was so moved, she was very sad: "This poor child has really suffered enough at the hands of Qian! Even the previous one The child, the good biological daughter, was tortured by the Qian family and died at a young age... It’s no wonder that she doesn’t dare to continue giving birth under the Qian family. I just gave her such a small thing, and she was so moved. "
Aunt Qu sighed: "It's no wonder that the young lady is so excited. For you, madam, it's just a piece of cake. For her, maybe it means two lives?"
"Two lives..." Wei Zhengyin pursed his lips and said, "Then I'll just do it more thoughtfully, and I'll try to accumulate virtue for Yu Wu." With Ji Qubing here, she was really good at being kind, A few days later, the maid from before made another trip to deliver to Deng a stack of prescriptions for the prevention and treatment of diseases that outsiders often suffer from when they go to Lingnan, as well as some prescriptions for the treatment and treatment of common malaria in the area. The recipe - because it did not involve any unique secret skills, Ji Qubing did not use his big sword to kill people here. However, relying on Ji Qubing's signature, the maid said, "The third lady specially asked for it from Divine Doctor Ji." "" In the eyes of the Deng and his wife, it is no exaggeration to say that these recipes are worth a fortune.
Su Ruoqian and Deng's gratitude to their third aunt was simply indescribable, but they could not express it in the eyes of Qian and others. On the day of taking office, the whole family gathered in the main hall to see them off, and the elders also had to give them instructions - the couple He didn't dare to reveal anything, but when he said goodbye, he kowtowed to his uncle and aunt Sanfang very loudly and reverently...
Not two days after Su Ruoqian and Deng took office, it was May 18th, which was Princess Linchuan's birthday. In previous years, because the Holy Emperor loved this daughter so much, he would order the Queen to hold a banquet for her, and the emperor would send all the ladies to the palace to celebrate the princess' birth. But this year, the Queen Mother passed away in the first month of the year. The Queen Mother was the concubine of Princess Linchuan. It had only been five months, but the celebration was already in vain.
Therefore, the queen reduced the size of the banquet and only summoned the first- and second-grade emperors and their daughters-in-law to the palace to congratulate the princess.
Wei Changying did not go because of his second aunt Duanmu's filial piety, but Shen Zangning came back and told her: "Princess Anji is looking for her third sister-in-law!"
"Princess, can you tell me what's wrong?" Wei Changying asked curiously.
"The princess said that Mrs. Zhenyi has not had much appetite recently. I heard that Aunt Huang next to the third sister-in-law is good at nursing. She would like some appetizers or snack recipes." Shen Zangning came over and hugged her arm and acted coquettishly, "I think your highness, Princess What I really want to say is not that simple. There must be something else to tell Third Sister-in-law... Third Sister-in-law, tell me? Why are Third Sister-in-law and Her Royal Highness so familiar? We are all a little afraid of Princess Anji, but Third Sister-in-law is not afraid of her? "
Wei Changying smiled and touched the tip of her nose and said, "I won't tell you! You didn't tell me the secret between you and Sister-in-law Deng last year, and I won't tell you now!"
"Third sister-in-law is so bad!" Shen Zangning said aggrievedly, "You are my sister-in-law, you are older than me, please give me some mercy!"
Wei Changying smiled and said: "There is no secret, that's all. Otherwise, what secrets do you think there is?"
Shen Zang looked at her coquettishly and whispered: "There are so many secrets! Third sister-in-law, don't think I don't know - Mrs. Zhenyi fell ill not long after she fell out of favor. She has been in poor health over the years. Many people said Ah, that's because she was drugged and has been unable to recover! Maybe, Princess Anji came to Aunt Huang to get something appetizing for Mrs. Zhenyi. There is also the Liushang Bureau in the imperial dining room. Doujin Palace's share of the rules has always been bad. Princess Anji just took the recipe, and it's a question of whether she can match it. So what's the use? I guess Princess Anji actually wants to find out who is responsible. Mrs. Zhenyi!”
Seeing Wei Changying looking at him speechlessly, Shen Zangning asked proudly: "Really? Really? Did I guess it right? Am I smart?"
"Fourth sister, you are so smart!" Guard Chief Ying said solemnly.
Shen Zangning was laughing proudly, and then she heard her say again, "But it's a pity, you guessed wrong!"
"Third sister-in-law is the worst!" Shen Zangning threw her hand away angrily and threatened, "I'm going to wake up my nephew and let him disturb you!"
"Fourth Miss, be careful!" Before Wei Changying could speak, Shen Zangning became anxious and said hurriedly, "The second grandson is still young, so we can't disturb him easily! If Madam finds out, she will definitely I’ll punish you severely!”
Are you kidding me? Madam Su regarded this new grandson like a jewel. She didn't see that Wei Chang Yingdu's mother valued her son, so she immediately suppressed the two sisters-in-law and officially became a family member? Although Shen Zangning is Mrs. Su's biological daughter, Mrs. Su has strict discipline on her little daughter, either beating or scolding her. If she knew that Shen Zangning dared to provoke her beloved grandson, Mrs. Su would not beat her daughter. It’s strange that the whole house is in chaos!
She might not be allowed to enter Jintong Courtyard in the future!
Being undermined in this way, Shen Zangning glared bitterly and said angrily: "Am I that stupid? I'm just talking! How can I scare my third sister-in-law when you talk like this?"
Wei Chang Ying smiled calmly: "If they don't tell me, fourth sister, you can't scare me! You are Guang'er's aunt. You have always been kind to your sister-in-law, let alone your nephew? You can't bear to quarrel with him. Strange!"
After hearing this, Shen Zangning came to her side again and said flatteringly: "Since sister-in-law knows that I am good to her, why didn't you tell me?"
"Fourth sister, how do you think about all this all day long?" Wei Changying smiled and touched her eyebrows, "Don't make trouble, Her Royal Highness just wants a few recipes. If I still can't enter the palace next time, Go, I’ll ask you to take it with you, you have to help my sister-in-law.”
Shen Zangning left reluctantly.
But half an hour later, she came over alone and said listlessly: "Sister-in-law, I have something to say to you alone."
After Wei Changying dispatched the people as she requested, Shen Zangning pouted and took something out of his arms and said, "Hey, Princess Anji asked me to bring it to you, and there is one more thing you refused to tell me just now. My secret, I didn’t want to give it to you at first. But I thought I’d give it to you, and don’t really miss your business.”
Wei Changying was not fooled and said with a smile: "Why did Her Royal Highness ask you to bring me something? What is it? I'm really curious."
Unexpectedly, Shen Zangning actually took out a hairpin-shaped object wrapped in a handkerchief. When he opened it in front of his face, it turned out to be a half-old beaded flower. Wei Changying was slightly startled. This beaded flower looked familiar to her. It did look like it. I saw it on Princess Anji’s head. Moreover, even if Shen Zangning wanted to make up the numbers, it would not be easy: as a rich girl, she could not go to the market to buy anything at will. Mrs. Su was very strict with her daughter, but Shen Zangning had to be strict with her daughter. Ning Ke lacks nothing.
It is impossible for Shen Zangning to have old pearl flowers on hand - this sister-in-law likes to change her makeup so much that she is most enthusiastic about changing her hairpin rings and rouge and gouache.
Wei Changying couldn't help but think of what Princess Anji told her last time. Maybe Princess Anji... So he subconsciously asked: "What did Her Majesty ask you to take...?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zangning put away the pearl flowers and laughed proudly: "Haha! I knew that you, sister-in-law, were having an affair with Her Highness the Princess! Didn't you get tricked by me?" (To be completed.) Continued)
