In his previous life, Wei Rui followed his sworn brother and was best at obtaining information. He was born to be a scout. Wei An knew his abilities very well.
Wei Rui himself was so surprised that he could hardly keep a straight face. He glanced at Old Madam Wei and saw her nod silently. Then he suppressed his surprise and said "yes" respectfully to Wei Qi.
The prince of Dingbei Marquis is a man who is very knowledgeable about the ways of the world. Wei Rui, who has followed the prince for so many years and almost grew up with him, has learned a lot from him. Since Old Madam Wei does not shy away from mentioning Wei An and uses Wei An as a military advisor, he naturally would not doubt Wei An's ability.
After giving these instructions and Wei Rui left, Mrs. Wei leaned back in her chair and sighed slowly: "Cao Family..."
Wei An knew what she wanted to ask, and shook his head honestly: "I don't know much, I can only guess based on what I know..."
Although she was smart in her previous life, she was just a smart person before she got married in her teens. The major events in the court had nothing to do with her, so it was particularly difficult for her to guess the dark hand behind the Wei family in this life.
But there is a solution. Just like now, Yang Huai has appeared, right
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Wei wanted to sigh but held back. She raised her head tiredly and hummed. Then she looked at Wei An and asked her, "Do you want someone who is easy for you to use?"
Wei An did not hide this from Old Lady Wei, but she knew the current situation of the Wei family and also knew that the people under Old Lady Wei could not be used easily, as using them would easily lead to trouble.
It will also make the third lady and the third master think too much.
Now that Old Lady Wei asked this, Wei An hesitated for a moment and nodded: "It's not that I'm worried about the outcome over there, but I really have something to do."
She cannot rely solely on Madam Wei's power. The road ahead is still long. She may not be able to rely on Madam Wei and the old princess for long. No matter whether Wei Yangqing and Princess Changning are her biological parents, it is certain that neither of them will care about her life or death. She must plan for her future.
Old Madam Wei smiled and was about to speak when Nanny Hua came in through the curtain to say that someone from the outer courtyard had sent a message saying that Steward Lin had returned and asked if she was free.
Old Lady Wei glanced at Wei An and saw that he had stood up. She told Aunt Hua to take him to the flower hall of the mansion in front.
As soon as Manager Lin returned to the capital from Nanchang, he went straight to the mansion to wait for the old lady's instructions. He looked exhausted and had lost a lot of weight, but his health was still good. He knelt down in front of Old Madam Wei, said some words that Master Wei Wu asked him to convey, and then handed a letter to Old Madam Wei.
Mrs. Wei put the letter on the small table and asked him first: "Is there anything wrong with Lao Wu?"
If someone really wants to attack the Wei family, Master Wei Wu is a good breakthrough point. Moreover, Yang Huai will soon be the governor of Jiangxi, which is too coincidental.
Manager Lin shook his head and said, "Everything is fine. In June, there was a flood in Poyang Lake, which overturned many boats and turned the surrounding area into a swamp. The Fifth Master worked hard to save the people. I heard that he didn't sleep for several days and nights, and he had a low fever... Now the situation is almost over, and there is no epidemic in the surrounding area. The Fifth Master has made great contributions. This term's evaluation will definitely be excellent, and he may be promoted back to the Sixth Ministry..."
This was not what he should say. Old Madam Wei interrupted him with a slightly cold tone and asked him, "Wasn't there a letter earlier saying that the Fourth Young Master would be back? But even now that you're back, there's still no news from him."
Speaking of this, Manager Lin looked a little uneasy. He hesitated for a moment before saying to Old Lady Wei, "It seems that the Fourth Young Master had an argument with the Princess..."
Princess Changning was unusually cold towards Wei An, but she was always extremely patient with other children and acted like a loving mother. How could she have a conflict with Wei Jie
Wei An was also a little confused, but he seemed to understand something.
In fact, in his previous life, Wei Jie often had unpleasant quarrels with Princess Changning because of her. One year during the Spring Festival, he came back from studying abroad, but found that she was not even included in the New Year's Eve dinner. She was staying up all night in the room alone, so he made a fuss. Later, even though Princess Changning insisted that she was sick, Wei Jie still went to her yard to stay up with her.
That was the best year she had ever lived. Wei Jie talked to her and made her laugh. When she finally couldn't help crying and asked if she was really useless, Wei Jie firmly told her that no matter what, she was always his sister...
Old Madam Wei also asked, "Is it about Xiao Qi?"
Manager Lin was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Wei An, lowered his head and said, "It's not a big deal. The princess has always been good to the fourth young master... I'm sure she will figure it out soon."
Old Madam Wei did not comment, but rewarded him with many things. She also asked him to take charge of several shops outside in the future. She raised her hand to let him go, and then picked up the letter sent back by Wei Yangqing.
Wei Yangqing's letter was not at all reserved.
He said that it was his fault and that Wei An was indeed not Princess Changning's child, but his illegitimate daughter with a concubine.
He said that he was framed by his colleague and something happened outside. Later, the colleague used this incident to blackmail him, so he had to help that person and then get the person back.
But the woman was already pregnant and was about to give birth. He thought the child was of an illegitimate origin and originally planned to keep it. However, who knew that the child born at the same time as Princess Changning died because of this incident.
He originally wanted to use Wei An to cheer up Princess Changning. Princess Changning, who had lost her child, cried all day long, so he lied to her and said the child was not dead.
But the truth could not be hidden, and Princess Changning found out about it eventually, which is why she was so cold to Wei An.
Wei An's hands hidden in her sleeves were shaking. The fact she had always guessed about actually came true. The news came so quickly and suddenly that she had trouble accepting it.
Her mother was not the noble Princess Changning, but a woman of unknown origin who was sent here and there...
No wonder Wei Yangqing felt it was unnecessary to even look at her. He ignored her in his previous life.
No wonder Princess Changning was so cold to her...
She blinked her eyes and felt like crying, but her eyes were so dry that not a single tear could come out...
She could understand every word in the letter, but it seemed as if she couldn't understand every word, which made her eyes hurt.
I went to the hospital for a check-up. At first, I did an abdominal color ultrasound, but the doctor said it was not clear. It seemed that there was fluid accumulation in the pelvis and a mass in the right abdomen. I was scared to death. Then I went for a CT scan, and it said it was a bilateral adnexal cyst... Damn, but I still have a fever. Am I going to die
