All in all, she and her brother-in-law had known each other since childhood. In her previous life, she had done a lot of bad things but very few good things. One of the few good things she had done was saving a boy a few years older than her on the way to Nanchang.
At that time, their carriage broke down, and the steward went to the front to look for a post station. It rained heavily on the way, and the rest of the people surrounded her and took shelter in a ruined temple, but they happened to meet a young man who was being chased.
She had already forgotten why she reached out for help at that time. Anyway, she saved him and asked someone to give him some silver.
Many times she thought that she actually did not do anything for Xie Liangcheng, but Xie Liangcheng became a knife in her hand without hesitation. If it were not for Xie Liangcheng, she might have been able to bring down the Marquis of Jing'an and Princess Anhe, but not in such a tragic way that made them despair, and the lesson she could teach them would have been much smaller... ...
Seeing that she didn't respond, Manager Lin stood there for a while and waited before coughing softly, "Miss Seven?"
Wei An finally reacted, nodded and asked him: "Where is the person?"
Manager Lin said hurriedly: "You once told me that if someone comes, they must see you first. I took the initiative to bring the person back and am waiting outside..."
Mrs. Wei had not asked too many questions before, knowing that since Wei Qi attached so much importance to it, there must be a reason for it. Only now did she ask in a startled manner: "Xie Liangcheng?"
Manager Lin glanced at her, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, that young man said his name was Xie Liangcheng, which is consistent with what Miss Seven said."
There are many people with the surname Xie in the world, but Old Madam Wei feels that not everyone with the surname Xie can be valued like Wei An. She looked at Wei An and asked thoughtfully, "What you said before was vague. The Jingxi Xie family... I remember that although the Jingxi Xie family is a large family, there are very few direct descendants. But now that I hear this name, it seems a little familiar?"
But how could the direct descendants of the Jingxi Xie family be related to Wei An? They were completely unrelated.
Wei An smiled, took Old Lady Wei's arm and said yes, and added, "He is the third son of the head of the Xie family in Jingxi, and the eldest son of Mr. Xie, the current magistrate of Wanping County."
Old Madam Wei was even more confused: "I thought you helped me because you heard in Tongzhou that it was Xie's people, but now it seems that it is not the case..."
Wei An nodded honestly and told Mrs. Wei the words he had prepared long ago: "It is because I know that he is the direct descendant of the Jingxi Xie family that I attach so much importance to this young master. I just thought... it is always good to make more good connections."
Old Mrs. Wei looked at her, but finally didn't ask any more questions.
Wei An obviously didn't want to tell the truth. In that case, it was useless to ask. She nodded at Wei An: "In that case, don't keep them waiting for too long. Go quickly." After a pause, she remembered something and reminded her: "If there is any inconvenience for the Xie family, you can let the young master stay for a few more days."
This doesn't look like he knows nothing at all. It is obvious that he has already investigated Wanping's Magistrate Xie. Wei An stood up and responded, then followed Manager Lin out and stood at the door of the flower hall for a long time without moving.
I feel homesick when I am close to home. This probably describes her mood at the moment.
In their previous life, they were both wanderers in the world, so they supported each other all the way to the end. However, in this life, they only had the opportunity to meet after she intervened. No one knows how far their relationship will go in this life.
She hesitated for a moment before going up the stairs. Through a screen placed in the flower hall, she saw Xie Liangcheng wearing a jade-colored robe.
She still remembered the character of the Xie family. These people from a prestigious family that had been passed down for hundreds of years would always maintain their character and bearing even if their circumstances were as bad as the dirt. Just like when she met Xie Liangcheng in her previous life, his circumstances were already extremely bad, but Xie Liangcheng still kept everything clean and tidy.
The same is true for Xie Liangcheng now. He probably hasn't rested for a long time because he was looking for his brother. His face is haggard and tired, but he is in very good spirits and very polite. When he turned around and saw that it was a little girl who came in, he was stunned for a moment before reacting. He thanked her politely as usual, and then said: "Thank you for your help..."
Although he knew from a glance that the person in front of him was a very young girl, he still did not dare to look up, and said very sincerely: "I wonder if the young lady could introduce me to the wife of Marquis Dingbei..."
Wei An stood still, and after a while he shook his head: "You don't have to see my grandmother, I saved her. That's why Manager Lin brought you here directly, but entered the mansion through the corner gate, and didn't take you to the outer courtyard to meet the elders."
In fact, Xie Liangcheng realized something was wrong as soon as he entered the inner courtyard, but he knew that the situation in Dingbei Marquis' Mansion was special, so he thought it was the old lady who helped. He never expected that a little girl could be so capable, and he immediately raised his head.
Wei An's eyes sparkled, and he tried hard to remain calm and composed as he looked at him: "Actually, I did it on purpose..."
Xie Liangcheng stared at her and went over her words several times in his mind, but he couldn't figure out why someone who was so unrelated to him would deliberately lend a hand to save someone, so he just waited for her to continue the conversation.
Wei An asked Manager Lin to invite him to sit down, and then told Manager Lin: "Please go out for a while and prepare some things for me. I have to go out in the afternoon. Nanny Wang and Su Ping will serve me here."
Nanny Wang is an old nanny, and Wei An is too young, so there is no need to worry about anything happening. And Wei An is obviously giving orders now, so Manager Lin responded wisely and retreated with a smile.
Wei An thought for a moment and told Xie Liangcheng: "To be honest, I heard something in Tongzhou, so I knew your brother was missing..."
Xie Liangcheng had always treated this incident as an accident. Moreover, his brother was missing and his father was in bad luck. He was in a hurry to find someone and had no time to think about other things. When he heard Wei An say this, his eyebrows frowned almost invisibly.
After years of getting along, Wei An already knew what some of his little actions meant. He smiled slightly, said nothing, and asked Xie Liangcheng in a low voice: "Do you know why your uncle was put in Jinyi Prison?"
Xie Liangcheng now felt that the person in front of him was a little strange, but he still looked at her calmly and said, "My father didn't discipline his subordinates well, so he let the fugitive escape..."
"Is it because he is not strict with his subordinates, or is it because he is in possession of a treasure?" Wei An looked at him and said bluntly: "Is it really because he is not strict with his subordinates? Don't you really know?"
