Wei An's words were undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back. Princess Zheng shook off her hand and cursed at her with all her might: "You did it on purpose, you were clearly lying to me! You treat me like this just because you hate me and think I bullied you..." Her eyes were filled with tears, and she choked and could no longer utter complete sentences. She just kept calling him Bao Ge'er.
Old Madam Wei couldn't even get angry anymore. She felt pity for Princess Zheng and whispered to comfort her: "Princess, think positively about everything. Didn't the imperial doctors also say that the child might not... maybe, as long as she is well taken care of, the child will be the same as a normal person in the future and will be able to marry and have children..."
Princess Zheng became excited again: "Old lady! It's easy for you to say, but you are not me. Have you ever thought about how I feel?! I have to worry all the time whether my child will die in happiness or fear in the next moment. I have to be on tenterhooks all the time and cannot relax at all. I have to be prepared. The child may leave me at any time... How can I relax?!"
Old Mrs. Wei couldn't bear it and turned her head away.
Princess Zheng became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She grabbed Wei An's clothes and kept crying and begging her to ask Shen Chen to show mercy and let him go find the real person who gave the medicine and ask him to prepare another dose of medicine for Baoger.
Wei An was so unsteady that he almost fell down. Seeing that she seemed to be unable to hold on, he hurriedly supported her: "Princess, don't worry, I will think of a way as long as there is a way."
She paused and emphasized her tone: "I will write to Shen Chen and ask him about what happened back then. If there is really medicine to cure Bao Ge'er, I will definitely give it to you."
Princess Zheng wiped her tears and looked at her with a disbelieving look. After a while, she nodded and pulled her aside, saying, "An'an, Bao Ge'er is your brother. He loves you and depends on you so much. Even if it's not for your father's sake, I beg you to let him grow up safely for his sake..."
Old Madam Wei and Wei An were completely helpless with her. She was already so devastated. Trying to reason with her would undoubtedly be going against her, and would probably really piss her off.
When it was almost time for lunch, Princess Zheng reluctantly asked Wei An for his assurance once again before saying goodbye and leaving.
The imperial physician came to diagnose and prescribe medicine in the afternoon, and she had to listen and watch to feel at ease.
As soon as she left, Old Lady Wei shook her head helplessly at Wei An: "This time, I'm afraid you have stirred up a hornet's nest. Now it looks like if you can't produce the medicine, she will think that you are doing this for selfish revenge and will hate you to the core..."
Wei An didn't care about these. Princess Zheng acted like this entirely because of Bao Ge'er. She could understand that. If she were in Princess Zheng's shoes, she would probably have the same mentality as Princess Zheng, wanting to grab any life-saving straw.
She thought for a moment and said to Old Lady Wei, "I don't know the specific situation yet, but Shen Chen has told me before that the medicine was specially made for the Sixth Prince and it will never be available again. In this case, the only hope now is whether the medicine that Princess Changle and Marquis Pingxi found to treat the young master is effective. Regardless of whether it is effective or not, I will ask Shen Chen to look for it so that we can confirm it."
Mrs. Wei also nodded. She knew that if she did nothing, it would be even worse. "In that case, go and write the letter. After you finish writing the letter, I will take you there in person this afternoon. I won't feel at ease if I don't visit Bao Ge'er."
Wei An went back and wrote a letter, and asked Nanny Wang to deliver it to Lin Yue personally, who then gave it to Xie Liangcheng, who then asked Xie Liangcheng to deliver the letter to Shen Chen.
Yuqing just came in to serve tea, and seeing that she was uneasy and unhappy, she thought something had happened to Shen Chen, and asked her fearfully: "Miss, what's wrong? Is it that things are not going well with the Marquis?"
When she came back yesterday, Nanny Wang had been comforting Wei An, telling her that both the old lady and the prince said everything was fine, so it should be fine, and asked her not to worry too much about Shen Chen.
Yuqing heard this and kept it in mind, and has always been worried about Wei An.
When Wei An saw that it was her, he forced a smile, then remembered what Nanny Wang had said before, and called her over to his side: "Come to think of it, Han Bo also went to Fangshan with us..."
Yuqing's expression suddenly changed, but she soon forced a smile and said, "The Marquis is so powerful. Since he follows the Marquis, he must be fine."
Although the change in her facial expression only happened in an instant, Wei An still saw it clearly. When he saw her lower her head, he knew that she really did care about Han Bo.
Seeing that she had been fiddling with her belt with her head down anxiously, Wei An called her softly, "Yuqing."
Yuqing looked up in panic, looked at her, pursed her lips, and called her "girl".
Wei An smiled and said, "Since you call me Miss, why don't you tell me when you have troubles, but keep it to yourself?"
Yuqing didn't know what she knew, but she was still shocked to hear her say that, and subconsciously shook her head: "No, no... I'm not hiding anything from you, no..."
Wei An sighed. Knowing that she was concerned about her brother and sister-in-law, he said bluntly: "You are so stupid. You treat them as your family, but do they treat you as their sister? If it is really for your own good, if there is still a little bit of true love, then you would not do such a beastly thing and use your sister to pay off your gambling debts!"
As expected, they really knew everything. Yuqing was shocked and knelt down hurriedly: "Miss, please forgive them. They have no other choice. My brother has always been like this. He never thinks about the family. When he makes a mistake, he has to rely on others for help. I also know that he is not ambitious and that he is really too much, but, but my dead parents valued him more than their lives... I promised them that I would take good care of my brother."
Take care of? Wei An poked her forehead and said, "You take care of him? He is your brother, why doesn't he take care of you? Besides, haven't you taken enough care of him over the years? But look at it, you are so good to them, but what do you get in return?"
Yuqing fell in front of Wei An, feeling wronged and sad. She held back her tears and shook her head: "It's just my bad luck. This is fate. What else can I do except accept it?" (To be continued)
