After Shen Chen came out of the palace, he went straight to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. It was March, and flowers were blooming everywhere. The Dingbei Marquis Mansion was full of colorful flowers, and the weeping willows by the lake were swaying in the wind, which was pleasing to the eye.
The sunlight cast a layer of light and shadow on the lake, and when the wind blew, the lake surface was sparkling. Wei An was accompanying Wei Yuyou and Zhao Ge'er in the octagonal pavilion of the garden to enjoy the scenery. Zhao Ge'er was no longer so shy, and he ran back and forth among the flowers with his short legs, sweating profusely.
Wei Yuyou would never allow him to run like this in the past, otherwise he would sweat all over and catch a cold when he returned, and his mother-in-law would point at his nose and scold him for not knowing how to take care of a child.
But now it’s different at home. I can do everything on my own, and the servants are considerate and obedient, with no constraints at all.
So she just watched Zhao Ge'er walk away, turned around and said to Wei An with a smile: "I don't know why, he's already two years old, but he still falls easily when he runs too fast."
Wei An had taken care of a child in her previous life. She was the one who took care of Princess Jing'an's child. Seeing Wei Yuyou's worry, she smiled and said, "All children are like this. They don't have much strength in their legs yet. They just need to walk around more."
Wei Yuyou nodded, and when he saw Yuqing coming up, he asked him, "Have you been to see Lan He?"
Lan He is getting married today, and Yu Qing went to send some dowry. Wei Yuyou also knew about it. Her relationship with Wei An was getting better and better, so she paid a lot of attention to this matter and even asked Zihe, who was by her side, to go with some gifts as well.
Yuqing smiled, looking very happy: "Yes, everything is fine, their family members are also very honest, they gave everything they should have given, and did not deduct anything."
After all, Lan He has two younger brothers and several younger sisters at home. Although Wei An values Lan He and has made it clear to Lan He's parents that Lan He will still be her housekeeper in the future, he is still afraid that they will ignore these and do too much and embarrass Lan He.
Yuqing specifically told Wei An not to worry: "She is still wearing the shiny open gold bracelet you gave her. I think her parents are very smart. They know that she is marrying into the Lin family, which will be good, so they don't dare to covet that little thing."
Wei An hummed: "I know everything, it's just a waste of time to tell you. Since everything is fine, that's even better."
In her previous life, Lan He suffered a lot of grievances following her master. It was the same as having no parents or relatives. She knew that Lan He didn't say it, but she was sad. After all, she was a sentimental person. Her parents and relatives didn't value her, but she felt embarrassed and ashamed because she was unable to bring honor to her parents and siblings.
No matter what, in this life, Lan He's family will feel proud because of her. No matter if it is out of true love or forced by the situation, no one will speak coldly to Lan He anymore, and treat her as a nobody just because she didn't follow a good master.
Wei An breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard Wei Yuyou laugh: "You are so young, but you always act so maturely. Those who know you care about your personal maid, but those who don't know you think you are marrying off your daughter, and you have considered everything carefully. I'm afraid that even her parents are not as thoughtful as you think."
Wei Yuyou always felt that Wei An was different.
It was just like that night when she was at Puci Temple and told Chen Mianmian about Wei An's theft. At that time, Wei An seemed to be beginning to show signs of change. He faced the accusations calmly, and there wasn't even much emotion in his eyes.
Since then, Wei An has been so stable and calm, as if everything is under her control.
Thinking of the past, Wei Yuyou couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little melancholy and a little relieved.
In any case, although she had a brief conflict with Wei An, she was not too wrong in the end. Now it seems that those who stand on the opposite side of Wei An really don't have a very good outcome.
Yuqing also tried to cheer Wei An up: "Yes, Princess, you are really thoughtful. Brother Lan He was so flustered, but her sister-in-law was very attentive to Lan He. She took care of everything for him and asked him about everything. She even smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes. Don't worry, Lin Yue is smart. He knows that you are good to Lan He, and Lan He will definitely live a good life from now on."
The marriage has not been finalized yet, and everyone in the mansion is more or less a little nervous. Wei Yuyou also knows that Yuqing said these words to make Wei An stop thinking about those things, and he cooperated very well: "That's right, our Lan He is a blessed person, Yuqing, don't worry, your lady is fair, she has already told me that it will be the same for you, and you will not be wronged."
Yuqing couldn't help but blush and feel a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and fiddled with the hem of her clothes, not knowing how to respond. No matter how smart she was, it was difficult for her to say anything when faced with such a topic.
It happened that Zhao Ge'er was tired from playing and wanted to go upstairs by himself. Wei An saw Zi He coaxing Zhao Ge'er upstairs, and waved to Zhao Ge'er to come over and wipe the sweat off his face.
Yuqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Yuyou also knew that the girl was shy and couldn't continue talking, so he simply talked about other things: "By the way, I heard that Li San didn't come these days."
Zihe carefully put on the bib for Zhao Ge'er and replied softly, "Yes, he hasn't been here these days. I heard that he was hiding because of gambling debts. Old Mrs. Li was sick and asked him to buy medicine, but he didn't dare to show up. Old Mrs. Li scolded him for a long time. He wanted to come to our house, but he couldn't even enter our door and was driven out."
Old Mrs. Li was also very shameless. If she had met other people and things had come to this, she would have just stopped having any contact with them no matter what. But she refused to do that and even wanted to blackmail her daughter-in-law, saying that Wei Yuyou had taken away a lot of gold and silver jewelry from their family, all of which were valuables, and that he had taken away their grandson, so they should be compensated.
When she came to the house to make a scene, the third wife, who was already very angry, immediately ordered someone to drive her away in anger, and didn't even want to pay any attention to her.
Talking to such a person is unlucky.
Besides, Fourth Miss Xu had just come in and had a lot of things to do, and Third Madam didn't want to have anything to do with such a person.
Old Mrs. Li came for several days in a row, but later she couldn't even enter the street of Dingbei Marquis Mansion. She gave up completely and told others that Dingbei Marquis Mansion was bullying and insisting on divorce. She complained and cried for several days.
But firstly, the Dingbei Marquisate had specially provided porridge for several days because the prince was getting married, and everyone praised her. Secondly, everyone already knew that she was mean to her daughter-in-law, so no one wanted to listen to her complaints. (To be continued)
