The wife of the Marquis of Ping'an actually trusted Wei An so unconditionally! And Mrs. Mei unexpectedly supported Wei An so much. Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but feel a headache. If it was just a few wives of the Wei family, it would be fine. The matter would not become a big deal. At most, she would apologize privately when those people came in and try to make a big deal out of it.
But now that Lady Ping'an Hou and Lady Mei have intervened, things are completely different. The more people know about it, the harder it will be to resolve the issue.
She knew her husband's temper best. If Xu Anying knew that they were doing this to take revenge on Shen Chen, she would definitely not let them off.
Originally Xu Anying was an extremely shrewd person. He must have been suspicious about the inexplicable loss of the military newspaper from Fujian. If he knew that his son had resorted to such means to deal with the Wei family... Old Mrs. Xu didn't dare to imagine Xu Anying's reaction at that time.
She pursed her lips and looked at Wei An calmly, with complicated emotions in her eyes. After a long while, she finally lowered her head and turned to Madam Ping'an and Madam Mei and said, "It's really uncomfortable to stand under the sun for a long time. Why don't you go to my place to rest for a while and have some tea?"
She looked at Wei An, knowing that these people seemed to be of high status and were all elders, but the one who made the decision was this little girl. She looked straight at him and said, "Princess, please do this for my sake. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
Wei An didn't know what kind of face Mrs. Xu had that was worth him not caring about his own life and the lives of his family. He should just compromise and pretend that nothing had happened.
Therefore, she just looked at Old Mrs. Xu calmly but not unwilling to be outdone.
Madam Xu was extremely dissatisfied and wanted to say something unpleasant to embarrass and ridicule Wei An, but she held back. Even the old lady had humbled herself so much, and she also knew that one has to bow his head under someone's roof.
But Xu Zhenniang couldn't help it any longer. She hurried a few steps to the front of Madam Xu and Old Lady Xu, and looked at Wei An as if she was going to die heroically. She pursed her lips and asked Wei An with grievance and anger: "What do you want?! My grandmother has humbled herself so much to beg you, and you are still so aggressive!"
Madam Wei San was a little bit amused and helpless. She was simply shocked by the shamelessness of the Xu family. These people really had no sense of shame. They were the ones who were scheming against them. They actually thought that apologizing and making amends were already lowering their status and were enough to make others give up pursuing the matter. I really didn't know whether the Xu family thought their face was too precious, or they thought the lives of the Wei family were too worthless.
Even Lady Ping'an Hou and Lady Mei were a little surprised. They looked at each other in confusion and couldn't help frowning.
With Miss Xu having such a character, it's no wonder that Chu Jingwu would rather scold her in front of so many people and cut off her ties with the Xu family than listen to Princess Linjiang's wishes and go with the flow.
It wouldn't be a big problem if the girl was ugly or willful, but looking at Miss Xu's character and morals, she is really not someone who can be easily dealt with. Who knows how much trouble she will cause in the future.
Madam Wei Wu was stunned for a moment, looked at her and shook her head: "Miss Xu, your sister was sick at that time, didn't you leave? Since you don't know what happened, why do you accuse people for no reason?" She couldn't stand it anymore, and she had stayed here long enough, so she frowned and said: "Old lady, we won't sit here anymore. If you are fine, please let us go outside. We still have some things we want to ask clearly. Since you and the first lady are unwilling to answer us, then we will naturally find someone who can answer us."
She could see that these women in the Xu family were vicious, but dared not take responsibility for their actions. They had clearly done all the bad things and lost face, but they still wanted to suppress the matter, hoping to make it smaller in the end. She had had enough. Seeing that Old Lady Xu groaned and was about to slide down again, she sighed: "Since the old lady is not feeling well, we will not bother you here anymore. Since we women can't explain it clearly, I still say that there are many men outside. I believe that the old man is also outside. They can always make sense with each other, right? It's meaningless for you to drag it on like this, don't you think?"
With so many people here, even if the Xu family acts like a rogue, how long can they last
Old Madam Xu knew that the people of the Wei family were difficult to talk to, but she didn't expect them to be so stubborn. She couldn't help but sneer: "I've only heard that Princess Shouning is always sharp-tongued and powerful, but I didn't expect that the Fifth Madam is also such a heroine. No wonder they say that people from the same family are not related. Only someone with your personality can suppress the princess and treat her as her stepmother."
Madam Xu had been patient for a long time, and at this moment she sneered: "I don't know if the princess can understand your painstaking efforts. Judging from the princess' temper, I'm afraid she doesn't take you seriously. I'm afraid your kindness will be wasted."
It was really rude, just like the woman on the street trying to sow discord. Madam Mei frowned, "Old lady, Madam, please stop talking nonsense. Since you are all busy, we can just go outside by ourselves."
As she spoke, she nodded to Madam Wei Wu and the others, signaling them to go straight ahead.
The Fifth Lady really didn't want to stay here any longer. Seeing that Lady Mei had taken the lead, she hurriedly pulled Wei An, and together with the Third Lady and the Second Lady, she took the little girl and walked towards the Moon Gate.
Even Mrs. Qin thought about it and raised her foot to follow.
The other noble ladies were inevitably a little hesitant. They pulled Madam Qin and whispered something to her. Madam Qin turned around and looked at Xu Zhenniang: "Miss, may I ask where our children are? It's been so long, and we have to go back. Please send them out."
The Xu family has had so many troubles that it's really enough. There's no point in them continuing to stay here, except to watch how the Xu family and the Wei family fall out.
No matter who wins or loses, for outsiders like them, it's just an offense.
They didn't want to take sides, nor did they want to watch the Xu or Wei families get into trouble and be hated by the people of these two families.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but resent the Xu family even more. They invited them to be guests, but in fact they just wanted to use them as witnesses to see the Wei family's misfortune. It was really unlucky.
They just wanted to leave. They didn't care whether the conflict between the Xu family and the Wei family would intensify. They just wanted to leave quickly. (To be continued)
