It is not impossible to pluck the hair from a tiger. Back then, the Wei family had been trampled into the dust and posed no threat to anyone. Couldn't they withstand someone stepping on them anytime soon
Now that his position has become even higher because of his marriage to the Linjiang Palace, of course he has made more enemies. It is not so incomprehensible that someone would want to frame him.
Mrs. Wei leaned on the cushion. Seeing the Second Madam standing up with some worry, she waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, don't worry. An An is right. Although the Fifth Master is a little confused and absurd, he is not heartless. Since the marriage has been arranged and is just around the corner, he will not do such a stupid thing unless he is crazy."
What's more, Wei Yangqing had met Fourth Miss Xu, and he also felt that she was a kind-hearted lady. He had told Wei An at the beginning that he would never treat Princess Changning the same way, and would be a competent head of the family in the future.
What does it mean to be the head of the family
That requires being steady and down-to-earth, and Wei Yangqing has indeed done so recently.
There was no reason for him to suddenly go crazy at this time, running to a brothel to ruin his marriage? He was not young anymore, and after marrying his second wife, he would soon marry his daughter-in-law and then marry his daughter. If something went wrong at this time, where would his face be? Where would the face of the Marquisate be? How could he continue his official career
No one would be so stupid as to be this stupid.
Maybe it's really as Wei An said, there might be another hidden story behind this matter.
The Second Lady finally walked over to the old lady and patted her back to calm her down. She said softly, "Since you think so, you should be more relaxed. The Marquis's wife is kind-hearted and only came to tell us about this because she is close to our family. If we don't want to have any misunderstandings, we should give her an explanation. Don't you agree?"
If this matter makes Old Madam Wei sick, that would be the worst possible outcome. I'm afraid the Marquis of Ping'an would feel upset.
Old Mrs. Wei hummed, looked at the Second Madam approvingly, and felt a little relieved.
After all, the second and third wives are now the housekeepers, they have seen more of the world, gained more experience, and are much more knowledgeable than before.
She turned her head and glanced at the somewhat restless Lady Ping'an, and said in a soft voice, "Don't worry, this is our family matter. I can't thank you enough for telling me the truth."
The wife of the Marquis of Ping'an knew the temper of Old Lady Wei. When Old Lady Wei said this, she relaxed as if relieved. "I feel relieved when you say this. Our master just asked me to ask you. He didn't mean anything else. I didn't tell Ah Si either."
She glanced at Wei An again and said angrily, "If it is really as the princess said, someone deliberately wants to use this incident to sow discord between our two families and ruin this marriage, then they are really worthy of death. As the saying goes, it is better to destroy ten temples than to ruin a marriage. How can these people be so vicious..."
Miss Xu is already so old, and her family is in such a situation. She has finally got engaged. If this marriage does not go through, given the current social situation, people will only become more critical of girls. How will Miss Xu survive in this world in the future
It's really disgusting.
Seeing that Lady Ping An was very angry, Wei An smiled and said, "Madam, there is no need to be so angry. Everything is just my guess now. Even if it is confirmed, this kind of provocation..."
Then let those people learn a lesson. There is really no need to get angry on their behalf.
The wife of the Marquis of Ping'an was still angry, but after hearing what Wei An said, she finally held back her anger and hummed, "I see, the old lady is right, and what the princess said makes sense. I will go back and ask who said that, Lord Marquis."
Those people went to Marquis Ping'an specifically to gossip. Even if they were not the mastermind behind it, at least they heard it from somewhere and someone wanted them to pass on a message to Marquis Ping'an. If they asked, there would always be some clues.
Old Madam Wei also meant this: "Then you go back and ask the Marquis first. We will also see what Old Five is doing when the time comes."
The wife of Marquis Ping'an agreed and stood up to say goodbye.
The second and third wives beside them also stood up and escorted the wife of Marquis Ping'an out together.
Mrs. Wei touched Wei An's head, her eyes felt a little sore, and she rubbed her forehead and said, "Old Five is always like a child, and it's a worry."
Although she felt that what Wei An said made sense, but because of Princess Changning's incident, Mrs. Wei still had some grudges against Wei Yangqing in her heart, so she always looked at things without paying attention and had prejudices against him.
This is not a good idea after all. Wei An nestled in her arms and looked up at her, saying with a smile, "It may not be a mistake now. If the old lady says this about father, when father finds out, won't he feel wronged?"
She knew that it was not that Mrs. Wei didn't care about Wei Yangqing, but the gap between mother and son was too deep to be bridged, so it was really awkward and distant for them to get along with each other.
Although some barriers will always exist and scars can never be completely eliminated, while she is still alive, Wei An wants Mrs. Wei to live as comfortably as possible.
Old Madam Wei couldn't help laughing: "That's right, why am I so sarcastic again."
She herself doesn't care, but Mingjing will have to set up his own household in the future and live on his own, and he will need the support of his family and relatives. She is so old, and there will always be a day when she will pass away. When that day comes, Wei Yangqing will be Mingjing's most serious elder.
Of course, Mrs. Wei secretly didn't want anything to happen to Wei Yangqing, so as not to implicate Mingjing and the Wei family. After all, the reason why the second and third masters can live in harmony is because there is no dispute. Once Wei Yangqing gets into trouble, the title will be vacant, and Wei Jie has not yet married, then it is inevitable that the third and second masters will have thoughts again.
When that time really comes, all the future and stability that you have worked so hard to earn will be ruined.
Old Mrs. Wei looked at Wei An in front of her with loving care. She always felt that it was both a good thing and a bad thing that Wei An could see things so clearly and understand the pros and cons of all things. In the future, how could she really take everything into consideration and only consider whether her interests would be harmed
If it really came to that, given Wei An's personality, he would probably suffocate himself to death. She looked at Wei An for a long time before she sighed deeply, laughed, and said nothing more. (To be continued)
