Everyone should have a conscience. Old Lady Wei was so generous to the daughter of her illegitimate son. She gave dowry money twice, and the second time she gave enough, and even included Zhao Ge'er in the dowry. Even if she had no conscience, she knew that there was no other grandmother who could do this.
What's more, the old lady treated Wei Kun and his family very well. When Wei Kun's wife had difficulty giving birth, the old lady was so anxious that she took out all the thousand-year-old ginseng she had treasured for many years. After the child was born, she specially gave Wei Kun and his wife a farm, saying that they could learn to take care of it themselves.
Even the third wife wanted to kowtow to the old lady to express her gratitude when she talked about this matter.
The old lady had really helped them in every way she could. She was not so stupid as to be petty and jealous of Wei An at this time.
People's destinies are so different, and not everyone owes you anything. She has long understood this truth.
Old Madam Wei didn't expect Wei Yuyou to say such a thing. She stared at her and smiled warmly, "Xiaowu is right. If you really care about me, you will understand my painstaking efforts. Besides, these things were my dowry. The important land deeds and antique porcelain were left to the boys, and what I have accumulated over the years is all for you sisters."
Wei An had no choice but to remain silent.
Seeing that she no longer refused, Old Madam Wei told her in detail about the things she had given her: "Families that are more particular would have started saving since their children were born. You..." She pursed her lips, thinking of Ming Yuyou, and felt a little uncomfortable. It took her a long time to calm down before she continued, "For example, your fifth sister, the third family has been looking out for good wood for her since she was a child... You are late, but I have been working hard for so many years, and with what the old princess gave you, it's almost the same."
She still felt regretful in her heart. If Ming Yuyou were still alive, Wei An's dowry would have been complete long ago, with everything in it. But she was old after all, and there was only so much she could do for Wei An.
Wei An held Old Lady Wei's hand and shook his head with sobs: "Grandma, with you preparing everything for me, I have everything I need."
In the previous life, there was no question of whether there was a dowry or not. Princess Changning did marry her off with the standards for marrying off a daughter, but she did not give her all the things. When she married into the Peng family, Peng Lingwei looked down on her because of her dowry.
They said her family was just a fake famous family, otherwise, how could they not have seen those dessert recipes, medicine prescriptions, ancient books and famous paintings, let alone any large and rare furniture.
For example, for Peng Lingwei herself, it took her more than ten years to prepare the bedstead made of huanghuali wood with a moon-shaped door carved with auspicious characters of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea as her dowry, which was also engraved with her own small handwriting.
Wei An had never thought that he would have so many people helping him in this life.
The fickleness of human nature. She had only experienced coldness in her previous life, but in this life, there was too much warmth, which made her a little overwhelmed.
Old Madam Wei held her in her arms and stroked her hair lovingly: "You haven't had a good life since you were a child... I just hope that you will have a good life in the future."
Zhao Ge'er looked at them crying in confusion and hurried over to wipe their tears.
Aunt Hua saw how cute he was and handed him a handkerchief. He then really took the handkerchief and called the old lady: "Madam..."
He spoke only two words at a time in a childish voice, which was so adorable that Old Mrs. Wei burst out laughing.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively.
Madam Wu breathed a sigh of relief: "This is a happy event, why are you all crying? In my opinion, what the old lady said is that this is her private property, she can use it however she likes, and no one else should interfere. An An, just go ahead, the old lady loves you."
Old Madam Wei then explained the names of the people on the list and the positions of the farm and the people in it to Wei An in detail. At the end, she said, "These things are given to you, so you must take good care of them. Use those who can use them. If there are those who don't care about their masters, no matter whether they follow me or not, you should do what you should do. Don't make them bold."
Wei An agreed to everything.
It was almost late, so Old Madam Wei glanced at the clock and told Wei An what the Fifth Madam had said before: "The Xu family has sent you an invitation. We think that the Xu family may not have any good intentions towards you. If you can avoid going, try not to go. I am old and don't like to go out to visit guests. Everyone knows this. Why don't you write a reply and say that you want to serve me and prepare for the wedding at home. It is inconvenient for you to go out, so you won't go."
The second, third and fifth wives can naturally go there as usual.
This way the Xu family couldn't find any fault.
The Xu family actually posted the invitation. Wei An remembered what Shen Chen had said before, and seemed to understand something. When he saw the Fifth Madam looking at him, he shook his head.
Mrs. Wei was a little surprised: "You want to go?"
The Fifth Lady did not expect that Wei An actually wanted to attend the banquet, so she hesitated and did not speak.
In fact, according to her, she felt that Lady Ping'an Hou was right. The Xu family would definitely not have any good intentions towards Wei An. If Wei An went there, he would probably be ridiculed, so it would be better for him not to go.
Wei An mentioned that Shen Chen had said that the Xu family would post a notice before: "Since the Xu family really posted a notice, it means there is a reason. If I don't go, I'm afraid they will do something else. It's better to go and see what they want to do."
Madam Wu was a little surprised. After hearing that Shen Chen had already mentioned this matter, she couldn't help but ask, "Does Marquis Pingxi know about this?"
If you knew, why would you go there
This is not a good thing.
Old Madam Wei knew that every word Shen Chen said was meaningful, and it was impossible for him to harm Wei An. Since he said that Wei An had to go, there must be a reason why he had to go. She pondered for a while and said, "If that's the case, then go. Just be careful in everything. You're getting married soon, so don't cause any trouble."
Madam Wu was still a little nervous. She didn't know why Shen Chen asked Wei An to take the risk, and she was the one who took Wei An with her. If anything happened to Wei An, everyone in the Wei family would think it was because of her, the stepmother, who didn't take good care of him. She was the one who had the most difficult life.
Old Madam Wei had already looked at her, smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Shen Chen is just like that, but he is not someone who does things without a purpose. Since he asked An An to go, there shouldn't be any problem. Don't be afraid."
The Fifth Lady was a little embarrassed when her thoughts were seen through, but she immediately said, "Yes... I know about it, and I will take good care of An An and try not to let her suffer any grievances." (To be continued)
