Fortunately, Sun Xing had been a shopkeeper in the capital for many years. He was a very flexible person and knew many people in the capital. Wei An closed his eyes in the carriage and felt tired in every part of his body.
When he returned to the capital, the first thing he heard was the news that the wife of Marquis Pingxi had filed a complaint. It was said that she had made a special trip to the harem to find Queen Fang and told her that Shen Chen had broken the leg of the Third Young Master Shen.
Mrs. Wei closed her cup and sneered, "You don't know what I'm talking about."
The wife of Marquis Pingxi knew how her family got the title, but instead of keeping a low profile, she acted arrogantly, thinking that her family was so great.
The Third Lady was also a little angry. This incident happened at this critical moment. She was afraid that the family gathering would not take place. The family gatherings in the palace were completely different from those in the Yansheng clan. There were taboos that they did not normally have. She was afraid that this opportunity would be missed.
Seeing that she was a little uneasy, Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, the emperor will never be angry about this again."
Of course, no matter what, whether for the sake of Princess Changle or for the sake of the late Marquis Pingxi, Emperor Longqing would not punish Shen Chen.
Not to mention that Shen Chen is now the adopted son of King Linjiang, who dares to touch him
Even Emperor Longqing himself was happy to see Shen Chen become a playboy.
Otherwise, if there was something fishy about the Yunnan incident, Shen Chen would have picked up a knife and chopped the person to death. However, he would feel more comfortable seeing a dandy boy.
The Third Madam smiled awkwardly. When the old lady was willing to take charge of things, her eyes were always very sharp. She turned around and asked Wei An, "Is An An ready? Do you want me to make two more clothes for you?"
She paused, looked at Old Lady Wei's expression and said, "Someone has come from Hongdu again... They sent a cart of earthenware and some gifts... They are the steward brought by my fifth brother. Mother, please take a look..."
Old Madam Wei frowned. She had already written a letter to Wei Yangqing in Nanchang. Why did she send someone back in such a short time? She glanced at Wei An who was bowing his head and said, "Let someone in."
Now that I know Wei An's background, there are some things that we always need to be cautious about.
The Third Lady responded with a "yes" and went out to let someone in. She waited until the Third Master came back before she asked him worriedly, "Fifth Brother has been sending people home too frequently recently. I always feel like something is wrong. Is the old lady willing to see him..."
The Third Master was now exhausted by the Feng family's affairs. He always felt uneasy and couldn't even sleep well. He really didn't have the energy to care about these trivial matters. He thought about it for a while and shook his head: "It seems to be about An An's matter. I have asked about it."
The Third Madam was a little surprised: "For An An? What do you mean?"
Everyone knows that Wei An is not liked by this couple. The couple wish that such a person did not exist in the world. Now they suddenly become close to Old Lady Wei because of Wei An. What does this mean
The Third Master casually draped his clothes on the screen and lay down on the bed. He then felt his back ache and groaned as he told her, "Didn't I ask Manager Lin about this the last time he came back? It seems that Fifth Brother wanted to take An An to Nanchang to raise her, but the old lady didn't want to."
Why did you think of taking Wei An to Nanchang to be raised for no reason
The Third Madam, who had not asked about it before, said, "Could it be that you think An An pleases your mother, so you want to take her to Nanchang?"
The Third Master thought about Wei An's peculiarity, paused, and then said: "Anyway, Mother will not let him go, and I don't think An An wants to go there. This matter... This matter is beyond your control, so just don't say anything." After thinking for a while, he instructed the Third Madam: "Be more friendly to Xiao Qi in the future."
The third lady agreed and helped him lie down. She then went out to tell someone to check and see when the old lady had left and come back to report.
Old Madam Wei raised her eyebrows and sneered at the steward sent by Wei Yangqing: "What parental love? If he had parental love, he wouldn't have abandoned the child in the capital for so many years and didn't care about him. Now that he remembered, he came to pick him up. What parental love..."
The steward lowered his head, not daring to raise it for a moment. He only smiled awkwardly and said, "In fact, the Fifth Master has always wanted to take Miss Seven to live with him, but he always has things to do. He wanted to take Miss Seven to live with him at the beginning of this year, but who knew that he would encounter the flood in Poyang Lake and other things..."
Ever since the incident with Ming Yuyou, Wei Yangqing basically didn't dare to say no to Old Lady Wei. Perhaps he had used up all his rebelliousness in the incident with Ming Yuyou, so he had been extremely obedient afterwards. But this time, he insisted on taking Wei An away...
Mrs. Wei thought so, but her face did not waver at all: "He kept saying that he took An An away because he was filial to me. Then you can tell him that he is really filial by leaving An An with me. There is no need to mention this matter again. When you go back, tell him that it was my idea."
The steward was in a difficult position, but he knew Mrs. Wei's temper, so he finally replied with a low "yes" and left respectfully.
Mrs. Wei turned to look at Wei An and said, "Your father seems to be very anxious to take you back..."
This eagerness on Wei Yangqing seemed a little strange, and it was impossible not to be suspicious.
Mrs. Wei saw her lower her head and paused before asking, "Want to go?"
Wei An felt that there were still many secrets waiting for her in Nanchang. For example, it was very strange that Wei Yangqing, who had always treated her as if she did not exist, was so determined to bring her to Nanchang this time, even at the risk of offending Old Lady Wei.
Of course she wanted to go.
Although I don't want to repay my father, it is probably human nature to want to be close to his father.
She didn't answer immediately, but shook her head after a moment.
She knew that there were too many things in this world, and the more she wanted, the less she could get. It was better to hold on to what she had in her hands, just a little.
If you ask for too much, you will end up with nothing.
Old Madam Wei sighed and said nothing more. She turned around and asked about the person she asked Sun Xing to find outside Jiminso: "I heard that you are looking for a fool, why is that?"
Wei An himself had asked Manager Lin to reveal this news to Old Lady Wei. She was afraid that even with the help of Sun Xing, who was protecting his throat, it would not be enough to find Xie Liangqing in time. She also wanted to seek Old Lady Wei's help. After a pause, she whispered to her, "It's someone from the Xie family... the Xie family in Jingxi. I just thought that maybe through this incident, I could establish a good relationship with the Xie family in Jingxi. After all, the disappearance of the young master of the Xie family is inextricably linked to Cao Wen."
