In the end, Mrs. Wei showed no mercy at all. Seeing that Aunt Liu was still in a dilemma, she sneered at her and said, "If there is anything, let him come and tell me himself."
Nanny Liu had no choice but to smile and shake her head. After she went out, she waited for a while at the Third Madam's place and handed over her cards. After finding out that Wei An had returned to his room, she went to Wei An's east wing to ask for a meeting.
Nanny Wang was now wary of Wei Yangqing and Princess Changning, and could not help but persuade Wei An: "Why not meet them? Who knows what they are going to do next..."
Last time, she was able to instigate Zhuang Feng to cancel the engagement and embarrass Wei An. It was clear to Nanny Wang how sincere Princess Changning was to Wei An.
They had been indifferent before and wished Wei An would just die on his own, but now they suddenly became so concerned about him, it was hard not to make people think too much.
"Let her in." Wei An shook his head and whispered to comfort Aunt Wang: "Since she asked to see me alone, she must have something to tell me that she can't tell the old lady."
Princess Changning was not her mother and had never raised her, so she naturally didn't need to take her too seriously. But Wei Yangqing was different, as he was her father after all.
The word "filial piety" can crush a person to death, so Wei Yangqing has not moved from the position of prefect of Nanchang Prefecture for so many years. No matter how good his performance in the assessment is, he still cannot be promoted. This is the reason.
As a woman, the world will only be more harsh on her.
Until there is a force that can completely oppose Wei Yangqing, it is best not to make things too awkward with him.
Nanny Wang was somewhat unwilling, so she gritted her teeth. She knew that what Wei An said made sense, so she nodded and went out to help her invite Nanny Liu in.
Madam Liu smiled as she entered the room. She did not show any contempt for Wei An just because she was Wei Yangqing's confidant. She greeted him and waited for him to let her sit down, but she did not dare to do so. She could not bear it any longer, so she leaned forward and leaned a little closer to the chair, and asked Wei An softly, "What does Miss Seven think?"
She added: "The Fifth Master meant that you were deprived of your parents' upbringing when you were young, and he felt bad every time he thought about it, so... he wanted to take you to his side to educate you, which would be good for your future..."
Wei An didn't say anything. He lowered his head and looked at his nails. After a while, he said, "Father asked you to come see me alone. Maybe he has something to tell me? Ma'am, why don't you just tell me directly? There's no need to say more about the father-daughter relationship. We all know it."
After all, she still felt resentful. Nanny Liu sighed inwardly, but she felt that Wei An had been extremely restrained. She knew that for a child, it was impossible to do better. She believed her changed words a little bit and her attitude became more respectful: "To be honest, the fifth master did have something for me to bring to you alone."
"The Fifth Master wants you to talk to the old lady if she insists on not letting you go..." Nanny Liu put her hands on her knees and said, "It is presumptuous of me as a servant. After all, the Fifth Master is your biological father. He has good things for you..."
Wei Yangqing's attitude towards asking her to go to Nanchang was unprecedentedly resolute, or perhaps it could not be said to be unprecedented, because in the previous life, it seemed that Wei Yangqing had also insisted on asking her to go to Nanchang... ...
She was suspicious and didn't understand why Wei Yangqing suddenly urged so urgently in such a short time, so she looked at Madam Liu and said, "I just don't know why father suddenly became so anxious? You have also seen the attitude of the old lady. If there is no suitable reason, she will definitely not let me go. Why don't you tell me the truth so that I can have some thoughts in my mind."
She was really suspicious and cautious. Nanny Liu still didn't dare to look at her, but she spoke faster: "Fifth Master is thinking that it's not a good thing for you to always be so distant from the princess..."
If she didn't tell the truth, Wei Yangqing wouldn't worry about these problems at all. Wei An made up his mind and asked her with a smile: "Does father mean that I have to go?"
Madam Liu did not comment, but said without missing a beat: "It would be good if you could go, and father and daughter could be reunited and enjoy the happiness of family. The Fifth Master not only wants to take you over, but also wants to report to the capital in a few days. If he cannot be transferred back to the capital, he will naturally ask the old lady to take care of you while he is in office."
Even Old Lady Wei was included, Wei Yangqing seemed really anxious.
But why is he in such a hurry
Wei An thought about the letters that he had stolen from his study, and felt that Wei Yangqing was a little hard to figure out. He paused and said, "You know, I am a junior and cannot make decisions for the old lady. But I will try my best to persuade her."
There was no such thing as a father-daughter relationship in the first place, and Nanny Liu felt that her reaction was within her expectations, so she responded and left.
Wei An then stood up, straightened his clothes, and went to the old lady's room.
Old Madam Wei had already woken up from her nap. When she saw Wei An, she asked her first, "Did Aunt Liu come to see you?"
These things could not be concealed, and Wei An did not intend to conceal them. He nodded and told Liu Ma what she had asked.
Old Mrs. Wei seemed to be thinking about something.
Wei Yangqing was indeed a little too impatient, as if he couldn't wait for them to leave the capital.
But this thought only flashed through her mind briefly. Old Madam Wei didn't want to think about him. She sneered and shook her head, then said to Wei An, "There is one more thing I need to tell you. Something has happened to your uncle as well."
Wei An was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the uncle that Old Lady Wei was talking about was the Prince of Zhennan, and his eyes widened.
Aunt Hua, who had been serving beside him, whispered, "I heard that he was reported for being too lenient with his subordinates, so much so that his soldiers took out the fire guns of the Shenji Battalion and sold them."
This fire is really getting more and more intense.
Wei An was silent for a moment before he lowered his head and asked Old Lady Wei: "Grandma, who do you think is the person who supports Cao An to bite everywhere?"
Wei An knew that it was impossible for Prince Linjiang to be the one who did this because in his previous life, Cao An was killed by Shen Chen, and Cao An had indeed forced Prince Linjiang's mansion into a state where there was almost no way out.
But how did Mrs. Wei know for sure
Wei An always felt that she probably had some special tacit understanding with King Linjiang.
"Just like you said, if even the Third Prince has fallen, then with His Majesty's current body, he may not be able to give birth to another prince. Even if he can, what advantage does a child have compared to those already extremely powerful princes? The people behind the scenes are so generous, and their ambitions are naturally huge, but they are just those few people."
-----I went to the hospital again this afternoon and paid for a gastroscopy. I felt like something was blocking my throat from my chest these days and I couldn't swallow. I went to the ENT department and they said my throat was fine. I checked my stomach and was shocked. I checked it last year and they said there was superficial inflammation. I don't know if they will find any problems this time. I'm scared.
