Old Madam Wei smiled and waved her hand: "You are a lay Buddhist under the Bodhisattva's seat, how can I ask you to help me? Just stop it."
Nun Jing'an just smiled and stopped moving forward. She watched as Nanny Hua came forward to support Old Madam Wei and said softly, "Prince Zheng is here..."
Old Mrs. Wei pondered for a while - when King Zheng came to pay homage to Ming Yuyou, he usually stayed for a whole day. But last year he was trapped in Jiujiang and Shandong and couldn't come back. This year he has a big fat son, and I wonder if he is still the same as usual.
As she was thinking, Nun Jing'an said, "Madam, the prince said that he would stay for a full day. Please stay a little longer and have dinner first. He wants to discuss something with you."
Old Lady Wei nodded, knowing that Prince Zheng wanted to pay homage to Ming Yuyou first, so she patted Wei An's hand and went to the back to have a vegetarian meal.
The vegetarian meals at Puci Temple have always been famous for their deliciousness, and the Qingming mushroom soup is so delicious that people can't help but linger. Old Mrs. Wei rarely gets so hungry that she walks around in the yard after dinner to help digest the food.
She had only been gone for about a cup of tea when she heard some noise outside. Nanny Hua came in, looked at her and then at Wei An, and said with a smile in her eyes, "Madam, Princess, the Marquis is here, and he is paying homage to the Princess with the Prince..."
It was natural for Prince Zheng to come, but Shen Chen's coming was really intentional. Old Madam Wei couldn't help but laugh: "This clever guy, cunning as he is, has intentions."
Then he asked Aunt Hua, "What does it mean that he sent someone in to report this?"
If they came, it would be reasonable for them to go to the front to pay their respects first, but why did they send someone else to report the news? Anyway, when King Zheng came in later, wouldn't he know the news anyway
Aunt Hua coughed and couldn't help laughing: "The Marquis said that he knew that the old lady had the habit of taking a walk after dinner, so he came in later to pay you respects. I heard that the camellia in Puci Temple is blooming well, and he wanted to invite the princess to go and see it together."
Has the true face been revealed
The old lady didn't take it seriously. The rules she mentioned before were for the people in the capital to see. After all, it was not very convenient in the capital, with so many eyes and ears. She was afraid that someone would use this to criticize Wei An's family education and rules. But now that she was outside the city, these concerns were gone.
Old Madam Wei just smiled and told Wei An: "Watch out, calculate the time, and come back when your father is about to come in."
Wei An felt a little embarrassed and agreed quickly. Mrs. Wei then told Nanny Wang and the others to follow properly before letting them go.
There were pine waves on the corridor. Looking down from the mountain, there was mist everywhere, as if in a fairyland. Shen Chen was standing at the end, leaning against a pillar, thinking about something. He turned around when he heard the noise. When he saw Wei An, he smiled and showed his big white teeth: "You're here?"
Yuqing had already stopped moving, looking very tactful.
Wei An walked up to him and hummed, then asked him, "How did you find time to come here? The Xu family's matter has just happened. Since you have let the Xu family go, you must find a way to cover it up for them, right? Stealing military reports is not a minor crime. Aren't you the one who should handle it?"
Shen Chen touched her head and sighed, looking a little aggrieved: "You little heartless person, in order to come to see you, I entrusted this matter to Qin Dong all night, discussed it with him and the Third Young Master, and then rushed over. Why didn't you ask me if I was tired when you came, but asked about this bad mood first?"
He looked very relaxed when he saw Wei An. He looked at her quietly for a moment and sighed, "I didn't see you at Xu's house yesterday. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep..."
This person was getting better and better at talking. Wei An was a little overwhelmed and complained with a red face, "He's becoming more and more unruly."
Shen Chen couldn't help laughing: "What should I do to be decent? Before we got engaged, we had to abide by the rules, but now our wedding date is just around the corner, so can't I say something nice to my wife to express my true feelings?"
The more he talked, the more he couldn't get the point across. Wei An glared at him and asked him about King Zheng: "Where did my father go after being gone for so many days? Today, the old lady thought he might not come..."
Prince Zheng did not attend the previous banquet at the Xu family, nor did he send anyone to deliver a message in advance.
Shen Chen raised his eyebrows: "The prince went to inspect the imperial mausoleum for His Majesty. Something happened when Jiang Songwen was supervising the construction. The construction of the imperial mausoleum seemed to have stopped for a while. I'm afraid that this matter will be handed over to the prince to deal with. At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and the prince probably didn't have time to send a letter to notify. But after summoning the construction workers over there and asking about the situation, the prince rushed back without stopping. He always values the princess and you."
Wei An hummed, relaxed, and said to Shen Chen a little embarrassedly: "I thought too badly of him. I thought..."
Shen Chen knew what she meant, so he took off his thin silk cape and put it on her, saying softly, "It's not that you think too badly of people, but when you encounter something like this, you can't help but think more. After all, people have feelings, not puppets. The old lady must also suspect that it was Princess Zheng who stopped him, and he himself didn't come because Princess Zheng gave birth to a son, right?"
He sat on the porch, clapped his hands to signal Wei An to sit down as well, and then took advantage of the situation by patting his shoulder: "Are you tired after sitting in the carriage for a whole day? Let me lean on you."
Wei An didn't support him, so he narrowed his eyes and looked at her with some resentment: "Do you dislike me?"
Wei An had no way to deal with him, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. In the end, he couldn't resist him, so he gently leaned his head on his shoulder, held his arm and let out a long sigh: "I was a little scared yesterday."
She whispered, "I thought you would show up eventually, so I held on..."
Shen Chen's expression gradually became serious. He turned his head to look at her and said in a very soft voice, "I'm sorry... I don't trust others with things outside... It's my fault that you have been wronged."
In fact, she didn't feel wronged. Shen Chen had clearly eliminated all the danger. Even if she really followed that little girl out, Shen Chen would definitely have a way.
But for some reason, when facing Shen Chen, Wei An suddenly felt an indescribable sadness, and even his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
In her previous life, she always felt that Peng Lingwei and others were too hypocritical. She couldn't help crying when she saw her husband coming to pick her up after being wronged at her parents' home. Now it seems that once people have someone to rely on, they can easily become particularly weak. (To be continued)
