Feicui was just about to heave a sigh of relief and go out to invite Wei An, when she heard Yunque outside lift the curtain and report with a smile: "Old Madam, Second Madam, Third Madam, the Princess is here."
The expression on Old Madam Wei's face finally softened a little, and even the Second and Third Madams seemed to be more energetic. Seeing this, Lady Ping'an Hou couldn't help but sigh.
Back then, no one would have thought that Princess Shouning would have such a day, and be so prestigious in the mansion that she would almost become the backbone of everyone.
Wei An had already entered the room. She was wearing bright colors, which was unusual today. She was wearing a goose yellow jacket with a frosty white pleated skirt underneath, which made her look elegant and refined.
Even the wife of the Marquis of Ping An couldn't help but be amazed, and said to Old Madam Wei with a smile: "Every time I see the princess, I always feel dazzled. She usually dresses too modestly, but even then, people dare not look at her closely. When she dresses up like this, she is really dazzling."
The nature of this flattery was too obvious. Old Madam Wei smiled but did not respond. She stretched out her hand and called Wei An to her side. After Wei An bowed to Lady Ping'an, she told him what Lady Ping'an had said about Wei Yangqing. She then said, "We are all family members. There is no need to hide anything. I have asked Aunt Hua to call Lin Hai. However, although I do not believe that Lao Wu would be so rebellious and ignorant, I cannot guarantee that he really did not do it. If he really did such a thing..."
It's really too much for the second wife to slander someone else's daughter like this before she even gets married. It's so humiliating.
Old Madam Wei truly loves Fourth Miss Xu and doesn't want her to suffer any injustice. She doesn't think that whatever Wei Yangqing does is his due just because he is her son.
Wei An was a little surprised. Wei Yangqing was not the same person he used to be recently. Besides, even in the past, Wei Yangqing was not a lustful person.
He was extremely infatuated and had been in love with Princess Changning for many years.
She thought about it and asked the wife of Ping An Hou: "I wonder if Madam could tell me who said this?"
Mrs. Ping'an knew that Wei An's words largely represented the opinions of Mrs. Wei, so she did not dare to delay and told the truth: "The Marquis heard from his subordinates..."
In other words, the source of the information is unknown.
Wei An frowned slightly. If those people told this matter to Marquis Ping'an as a fact, then there must be a basis for it. Wei Yangqing must have at least been to those places.
And why did these people tell Marquis Ping'an
He probably wanted to ruin this marriage.
Wei An seemed to be thinking about something, and only looked away when Lin Hai came.
Lin Hai knelt outside behind the screen. Old Madam Wei did not ask him to get up. She waited until he finished asking how he was before asking him, "Where has the Fifth Master been going recently? Do you know?"
Lin Hai is the chief steward. Although he does not have to go out with the men in the family in person, he has a rough idea of where the men in the family go. After all, those who go with them have to collect things and report to their superiors.
He was a little surprised, obviously knowing what happened that made Old Lady Wei ask this question, so he thought about it seriously for a while and answered cautiously: "To answer Old Lady, the Fifth Master has been back from the government recently. Sometimes he doesn't come home for dinner, but he goes out for social events. But the Fifth Master's expenses have not changed recently, and he has never asked for money from home..."
The implication is that there was nothing wrong with Wei Yangqing.
Old Madam Wei nodded, and then continued, "Just now, Madam Hua came back and said that the Fifth Master is not in the mansion again? Isn't he taking a day off today? Go check and see where he went, and come back to report."
Lin Hai did not dare to hesitate and nodded quickly and agreed to go out.
Mrs. Ping'an became even more uneasy: "Old lady, there is no need to make such a fuss..."
She had no intention of rejecting this marriage. Putting aside the utilitarian considerations, even for Miss Xu herself, this marriage was a great one.
The reason why she brought up this matter when she came here was because she wanted to test Mrs. Wei's attitude. In her opinion, how a man behaved was not that important.
Anyway, she's married, so all she needs to do is treat each other with respect. The ones who can really make the decision are Old Madam Wei and the others.
But now that Old Madam Wei has made such a big fuss, she feels a little uneasy, fearing that this incident will affect the marriage.
Wei An did not speak. He waited until Old Lady Wei shook her head coldly before he said, "I also think that this matter cannot be resolved so easily."
The wife of the Marquis of Ping'an looked at her in surprise, and shook her head awkwardly before she realized, "Princess, you are still young and don't know these things..."
How can a couple live without bumps and bruises? Where can they not have such moments? Men are all fickle. As long as it looks good on the surface, that's fine.
Where can you find a cat that doesn’t steal fish
Wei An was still too young and could not tolerate any flaws. He naively believed that all men in the world were principled and would not be tainted by worldly matters.
Wei An knew what the wife of the Marquis of Ping An was worried about. She said softly, "Madam, I know what you mean. Don't worry. I just think there is something else going on."
Any other article
Mrs. Ping'an didn't react for a moment. She paused for a moment before asking, "What article?"
Wei An did not answer, but just looked at Old Madam Wei: "Old Madam, Father is not a man who indulges in women and pleasures. Over the years, he may be soft-hearted and indecisive, but he is very clear about right and wrong. At this time, his marriage is just around the corner, how could he do such a thing? And those who said this to the Marquis of Ping'an Mansion are also a little strange. Since they knew, why did they say it in a way that is not true? Leaving room for imagination, clearly stirring up trouble, but not saying it clearly, so that people can't find any handle and it is difficult to interrogate? If the Marquis's wife didn't come to ask today, she just had a grudge in her heart..."
Wei An paused, and seeing that Old Madam Wei and the Second and Third Madams all seemed to understand something, he did not hide the truth: "I'm afraid someone is taking advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble, and is crying thief, directing this farce specifically for the Ping An Marquis's Mansion, and then wants to make it real. Otherwise, let's see if the person who complained has anything to do with the places my father has been to recently."
What Wei An meant was that someone deliberately led Wei Yangqing to that kind of place, and then turned around and pretended to be righteous to tell Ping'an Marquis Mansion, taking the opportunity to sow discord between Ping'an Marquis Mansion and Dingbei Marquis Mansion
Old Mrs. Wei frowned.
The wife of the Marquis of Ping An was also somewhat shocked and could not believe it: "This... .. Could it be that at this critical moment, there are still people who dare to pluck the hair of a tiger to provoke it?"
The Wei family is very popular right now, who would dare to come up and cause trouble at this time? (To be continued)
