Mrs. Wei said there was no need to rush, but the third master still couldn't help getting angry. How could this not be a matter of urgency? He knew that Mrs. Wei always had her own plans and would not do anything she was not sure of. After thinking about it, he waited for Mrs. Wei to finish her words and said, "You are talking about..."
As he was speaking, Wei An arrived.
She had just been to Prince Zheng's Mansion, where Princess Zheng was. Although everything inside had been arranged and the servants were all reliable, Wei An still went there frequently.
This time she also went there first and then came back.
When she came in, she greeted Old Madam Wei and the Third and Second Masters first, then she sat down next to the Third Madam and whispered to Old Madam Wei: "The old doctor said that the princess will give birth in the next few days, so let's all get ready... I came back to tell you that I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the palace for the next few days..."
Old Madam Wei nodded and said, "Your father hasn't come back yet. You should take care of your mother as a daughter. If there is anything missing, just send someone back to tell your second and third aunts to come home and get it."
The second and third wives hurriedly agreed, "What the old lady said is right. We should have gone there more often. After all, the prince asked us to do so. But now that the family is in this situation, it would be easy for us to cause trouble for the princess. So we simply won't go. You take good care of the princess. If the princess needs anything, just come back and tell me."
Wei An agreed and said to Old Lady Wei, "I have heard that the Xie family will be imprisoned and sent to the capital for trial. This time it is a good thing, and I have already made arrangements."
When she said it was arranged, everyone except Old Madam Wei was surprised and looked at her.
The third master reacted and asked her softly, "An An, what's going on? Tell me the truth, otherwise we will be worried."
After all, it is a big deal, and everyone knows that things have reached the most critical moment. If we can pass this hurdle, there will be a smooth road ahead. If we can't pass it, it will be hell.
This kind of thing really doesn't allow people to be more vigilant and on guard.
The room was extremely quiet. The Second and Third Madams looked at Wei An expectantly.
Wei An did not keep the secret. He put down his cup and looked at the Third Master and the Second Master. He did not hide anything and said directly, "I asked Censor Chen to submit these impeachment memorials against our family and Shen Chen."
The second and third masters didn't understand and looked at her blankly.
"We should first tell people the worst possible story and prepare them for the worst. Then things may not turn out that badly." Wei An said calmly, his eyes clear and pure: "The emperor is very suspicious. If someone else reveals this matter later, he might really suspect us. But we told him in advance. When all the evidence points to Xie Liangcheng, we reveal the truth. The emperor will instead suspect that someone is deliberately trying to frame us."
The second and third masters understood a little bit, and they looked at each other and saw the relief in each other's eyes. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and looked at her gently and said, "Since you have made a plan in your mind, we are relieved. Otherwise, we would be so anxious and uneasy."
This is inevitable.
Although Wei An did things in a planned and secure manner, she always made unexpected and risky moves. The fact that the Third and Second Masters trusted her was an extraordinary trust.
She smiled and said a few more words about Prince Zhennan's affairs. Feicui hurriedly reported through the curtain outside that Lanhe and Yuqing had urgent matters to report outside.
When hearing about urgent matters at this critical moment, everyone naturally mistakenly thought that there was some new news from the Xie family, and they all looked at Wei An.
Before she could wait any longer, Feicui's voice came through the curtain again: "Miss, Lan He said that the princess started it!"
At this time?!
Everything was fine in the morning. Wei An was a little surprised, but then she realized that this is how it is when women give birth, so she stood up quickly.
Mrs. Wei didn't care about anything else. She looked at the Third and Second Madams and told them, "Since we're launching it now, An An is still a child. I'm afraid there are things she doesn't know. Why don't you all go over there..."
For such a major event as giving birth, it is only natural for these close family members to go and take care of the baby, and even the censor cannot say anything against it.
The second and third wives both stood up quickly and agreed, and both hurried back to change their clothes.
Old Madam Wei warned Wei An: "Don't panic. Even if the labor starts now, it doesn't mean you'll be able to give birth right away. Many women experience pain for several days during childbirth."
Wei An knew all of this. She had experienced it herself in her previous life. She nodded when she heard it and said, "I know all of this. Don't worry too much. My second aunt and third aunt are here to watch over there. Take care of yourself and don't worry about us."
Old Madam Wei agreed. When she heard from outside that the Second Madam and the Third Madam were ready, she didn't want to delay Wei An's business, so she waved to her and asked her to go out quickly.
Wei An really didn't care about anything else. He bowed and said goodbye in a hurry, then got on the carriage with the second and third wives and headed for Prince Zheng's Mansion.
The Zheng Palace was in chaos because the mistress was about to give birth and the master was not around, so it was inevitable that some accidents would happen. Before Wei An even entered the gate, he saw a mess on the gatehouse and couldn't help but frowned: "Why is the main gate wide open when it's not a big day?"
When there is no noble person around, the middle door is usually not opened, and even Wei An enters through the side door.
The mistress of the mansion is giving birth now, and the middle door is open?!
As soon as Wei An spoke, Lan He understood what was going on. She quickly leaned forward to call Lin Yue over and asked him to go and ask what was going on.
After turning the corner and entering the side door, Wei An got off the carriage at the Chuihua Gate. He saw many old women gathered together and whispering.
Before Wei An left, everything in the mansion was in order.
She frowned, and Yuqing scolded her, startling the old women so much that they all looked in their direction and hurried over to pay their respects.
Yuqing scolded them: "Don't you have to do anything?! How can you be so flustered when you are all together like this?!"
The second and third wives also felt that something was wrong, and came towards Wei An tacitly.
The maids knelt on the ground in a hurry. After being scolded by Lan He, they stammered and replied, "My princess... something happened at home..." (To be continued)
