Wei An knew that this was a lie. It was obviously impossible to pretend that nothing had happened. No one could do it. Such a thing happened. Although she was not the instigator and the responsibility was not on her, she had no choice, but there was an inexplicable wall between them.
But I would rather have this kind of imperfect goodness than have the embarrassment of irreparable disintegration when the illusion is punctured.
She knelt on the ground as the old princess held her hand, and kowtowed several times willingly.
It was already late at night, and Madam Ge was still wandering outside the side hall. When she came out, she hurried over to greet her, looked her up and down for a while, then smiled and said, "Young lady, the princess has something to tell you."
After all, the old princess didn't get angry after hearing about Wei An's life story. Nanny Ge was a smart person and didn't dare to be too rude to Wei An.
Nanny Wang was quite alert. She tried to move forward while protecting Wei An. "It's too late. Let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to say!"
She didn't believe that the princess would have anything nice to say. Because it would still be Wei An's ears that would be dirty and his heart that would be hurt.
Madam Ge was a little annoyed. She tried to lower her voice and shouted, "Seventh Miss! No matter what, you are registered under the name of the princess. Don't you intend to listen to the princess?!"
Wei An stopped and looked at her calmly. After a moment of silence, he said, "Mother, are you telling me to be more careful and to know my own worth. Don't try to take things that are not mine, or else God will punish me for not knowing what is good for me?"
Princess Changning had two ways of dealing with her: deliberate indifference and sharp sarcasm.
She had understood it very thoroughly in her previous life, and the words that once pierced her heart like a sharp arrow were not so difficult to talk about now.
As long as Princess Changning is not her biological mother, is there anything that a scheming woman like her cannot give up or endure
These are nothing.
Nanny Ge was so shocked that she was stunned. She didn't understand why Wei An actually said 99% of what Princess Changning wanted to say. She stood there for a while without moving.
Until Nanny Wang, trembling, stopped in front of Wei An, and said with red eyes, "The princess is angry, why is she taking it out on a child? What could she understand at the time? I only know that the master has repeatedly warned us not to mention this matter again, but the princess insisted on telling us like this, are you afraid that others don't know about this?"
Madam Ge didn't know that the wet nurse in front of Wei An actually had such courage. She took a step back to sort out her thoughts, and smiled and bowed to Wei An: "No matter what, the princess has allowed you to grow up to this day... People should always be grateful. Apart from other things, didn't the old princess treat you badly? Just for this reason, Miss Seven should also understand her own status. Even if the old princess is kind, she should not push her too far and lose her sense of propriety..."
Nanny Wang became more and more angry, and pursed her lips, feeling sorry for her daughter.
Others said that Wei An had changed, becoming smarter and more capable, but only she knew that the child she had raised had never dared to close his eyes during these days.
Wei An nodded gently to Madam Ge: "You can go back. Please rest assured, mother, I won't take a single cent of what I shouldn't take."
Madam Ge sneered. Money can move people's hearts, let alone a child who has nothing to rely on. It was too casual to say this.
But she had already said what she wanted to say, and she had no intention of upsetting the old princess at this time. Knowing that she couldn't say anything more, she smiled and bowed: "It would be best if you know the limits in your heart."
Seeing Wei An was about to leave, he reminded Wei An one last time: "The princess wants to take you to her side to educate you in a few days."
Nanny Wang held her breath and didn't say a word the whole way. In this elegant, luxurious and exquisite room that was specially decorated for Wei An, she felt a little uneasy for the first time.
It seemed that if I stayed here any longer, I would become the greedy and tactless person that Madam Ge mentioned.
After finally waiting until the next day to say goodbye, Nanny Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wei An, "I used to love coming to the palace and was afraid to go home. Now I can't wait to go home."
Different situations naturally lead to different mindsets.
Wei An smiled and said nothing, then went to say goodbye to the old princess.
Nanny Chen accompanied her in, carefully observing her expression and reminding her: "You almost didn't sleep all night..."
Seeing that Wei An was still in good spirits, the old princess waved at her and asked her, "Are you going home?"
Wei An agreed and said to her, "I still have some things to do at home. I will come to accompany you after I have dealt with all these things."
"It's better to go back." The old princess smiled: "There are still some things I don't understand. When I figure it out, I will call you back." She also instructed Wei An: "Don't say anything about whether we are strangers or not. I raised you by myself... People say that the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to a child. Even if I am not your biological grandmother, I can never treat you as a stranger. It's just that I have to reduce the things I decided to leave to you at the beginning..."
At this time, the old princess was still concerned about her and thinking about her. Wei An hugged her arms, rested his head on her shoulder, and shook his head in a crying voice: "I don't want it, please leave it all to mother..."
The old princess did not comment, but smiled and wiped her tears: "You have been like this since you were a child. You are so sad and you refuse to cry. Only crying children can get milk... If I really don't care about you with such a temper, what will you do in the future?"
How could she let go of the child she had raised? Even if it was a cat or a dog, one would have feelings for them after raising them for a long time, let alone a human being
She spoke gently to Wei An for a while before letting Nanny Chen send her out. She then sat by the window and wrote a letter to her daughter who was thousands of miles away.
It was her second brother Wei Cheng who came to pick her up. When he saw her, he first winked at her, then smiled and said, "The old ancestor said that there are guests at home, and he is anxious for you to go back."
How could the Wei family have any guests coming to visit now
Wei An thought about it for a moment and guessed that there might be news from Wei Rui. He became excited, nodded to Wei Cheng, and got on the carriage.
Wei Cheng was riding outside. After walking for a while, he rode to the carriage and muttered to her, "We ran into some second-generation rich kids going out of town to hunt. We have to take a detour."
The hunting grounds in the suburbs of Beijing have been almost abandoned in recent years, with wild beasts often jumping out to injure and bite people. Therefore, since Emperor Longqing revealed his intention to hold an autumn hunt this year, many noble children have begun to practice.
Wei An didn't take it seriously at first, but this time something happened to the Feng family, and when she heard about the enclosure again, she frowned.
The surprise will be on the 30th or 31st~~~
