The Third Lady did not have much time to deal with these things. With the 20,000 silver coins from the old lady, Wei Yuyou would have no worries about food and clothing and would be rich all her life, whether she remarried or stayed at home.
In addition, everyone in the mansion, starting with Wei Kun, was indignant towards Li San and took good care of Zhao Ge'er. She knew in her heart that the Wei family could definitely accommodate Wei Yuyou, and she became even more grateful to Old Lady Wei and the others.
As for arranging the marriage between Fourth Miss Xu and Wei Yangqing, she was extremely concerned.
The day had been chosen long ago. She and the Second Madam had discussed everything together, and the two of them worked together, and on this day, they finally welcomed Fourth Miss Xu into the house in great style.
Marrying a concubine is different from marrying the original wife, so many of the rules are not complicated. However, the second and third wives still try their best to make proper arrangements, neither too extravagant nor too decent.
After drinking the daughter-in-law tea, Mrs. Wei sighed and smiled, praising the Third and Second Madams for their efforts: "Thanks to you, you have been really tired during this period."
The second and third wives both hurriedly said they dared not.
Mrs. Wei smiled and winked at Wei An: "The bride may still be a little scared and nervous. Go and take a look to see if there is anything wrong."
Wei An knew that she wanted him to show goodwill to Fourth Miss Xu, so he stood up and went out to tell Yu Qing, "Go to the kitchen and ask someone to bring some exquisite cakes and wontons."
She had been married in her previous life, and she knew that after the ceremony on this day, the bride would reduce her food intake in order to maintain her demeanor and avoid going to the toilet. At this time, she would be hungry.
Yuqing agreed, and soon after the things were ready, she accompanied Wei An to the main courtyard of the fifth room.
Wei An seldom came here. It was because of Princess Changning before. Later, Princess Changning died and there was no need for her to come here. When she came again, she found that the banyan tree in the yard had grown much taller and there were red lanterns hung everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere. She greeted a few maids and entered the bridal chamber.
Fourth Miss Xu had already changed into her casual clothes and came out. She was still a little embarrassed to see her and it took her a while before she called her "Princess".
Wei An smiled, walked up to her and asked, "Are you hungry, mother? I brought some food, you can fill your stomach first."
Fourth Miss Xu was really a little hungry, and she also wanted to get along well with Wei An, so she nodded and thanked him hurriedly: "Thank you for your consideration."
Wei An sat with her at the small round table outside and ate some snacks with her before saying, "Mother, if there is anything you are not used to, just tell me, or talk to the second and third aunts. They are both very easy to get along with."
Miss Xu Fourth's face flushed as she agreed in a low voice. After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Wei An and asked hesitantly, "I wonder what's going on in the mansion now..."
When she got married, she became the wife of the eldest son of Marquis Dingbei, and she was supposed to be in charge of the household affairs. Although she knew that Wei An was a junior, she also knew that Wei An's status in the mansion was different, so she wanted to ask Wei An's opinion first.
Wei An slowly put down the teacup, knowing what Fourth Miss Xu meant, he said, "Everything in the mansion is now managed by Second Aunt and Third Aunt. After mother comes, it will be her turn to take charge."
These matters were decided by Old Madam Wei before, so there was nothing that could not be said or tabooed. Wei An told her honestly: "Don't worry, everyone in the mansion is easy to get along with, and the second and third aunts are the same. We all look forward to your coming to the mansion."
Fourth Miss Xu breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that many people were vying for the position of housekeeper, and she was afraid that she would have conflicts with other people in the mansion because of this after she came in. Since the Wei family had already made plans, and the second and third wives had no objections, she felt much more relieved.
Wei An chatted with her for a while, and only when news came in that the banquet was over did he say goodbye with a smile.
Fourth Miss Xu stood up with a red face, looking shy and nervous. Wei An hurriedly told her not to send her off. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't worry, mother. Father is an easy-going person and doesn't usually argue with others."
Fourth Miss Xu accepted her kindness, and when she left the house, she turned back and whispered to the maids, "Everyone says that the princess is a powerful person. Now it seems that this is indeed the case, but it is not entirely true."
Aunt Xu laughed and said, "Of course she is a powerful person, otherwise our Marquis's wife wouldn't be so afraid of her. But didn't the Marquis's wife also tell you that the princess is also a very good person. As long as you are on her side, she will always protect you."
The Dingbei Marquis' Mansion was bustling for quite a while because of the wedding, but no matter how lively it was, Old Madam Wei suppressed her servants and did not let them indulge themselves.
Emperor Longqing had not attended court for more than ten days. Everyone knew that he might not live long, and Old Lady Wei was very upset about this.
When Emperor Longqing passed away and Prince Linjiang took the throne, Princess Linjiang would really become the Queen...
She finally found the time to talk to King Zheng about this matter, meaning that King Zheng should find a way to arrange the marriage between Shen Chen and Wei An before King Linjiang ascended the throne.
Prince Zheng nodded in agreement, and found a time to hint to Prince Linjiang, wanting him to go to Emperor Longqing to make the proposal.
But who would have thought that Prince Linjiang, who had been quite enthusiastic about this marriage before, did not react at all and pretended not to understand his hint.
It’s not that Prince Linjiang really didn’t understand, he was just very upset.
This marriage with the Wei family seemed to be a good one before. Wei An himself was also a good person, and with the protection of Prince Zheng, he felt that it was a good match. But the problem was that the Wei family had recently divorced another girl.
Princess Linjiang had said before that the girls of the Wei family seemed to be spoiled, unable to tolerate any grievance, always having problems one after another, and their marriages were not very smooth.
He scoffed at first, thinking it was just a coincidence.
But when the news spread all over the city that the Wei family had divorced another girl and had caused the girl's family to be broken up, he couldn't help but feel a little bothered.
After all, Wei Anke still has the support of King Zheng. If something goes wrong in the future, they will really fight to the death. Then what is the point of this marriage
Therefore, even though King Zheng raised the issue this time, he did not agree immediately and planned to ask Shen Chen's opinion again.
Princess Linjiang found out and laughed at Mother Qin: "Look, what did I say? A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole. Everything should start from small things. Their Wei family is famous for being fierce and difficult to deal with. How could the prince bear to let his son marry such a person?" (To be continued)
