Princess Zheng did not make her words too obvious. After all, Princess Linjiang spoke for her that day from her perspective, and it was difficult to find any obvious faults. It would be wrong to accuse her of being biased against Shen Chen and Weian based on what she said.
Wei An's heart was a little disturbed - wasn't the timing of Princess Linjiang's appearance too coincidental? She showed up just when Princess Zheng went to the Wei family to cause trouble, and what she said was just as Princess Zheng said. If you take it seriously, it is indeed to sow discord.
Wei An originally suspected that this matter had something to do with Princess Linjiang. Now that Princess Zheng said this, her suspicion became even stronger. She kept frowning until she got on the carriage back to the Wei family.
Yuqing was pouring tea for her. Seeing her like this, she was a little surprised and said, "Miss, the princess has never been very kind to you. You have been enemies for a long time. Do you think it is possible that the princess really doesn't like you, so..."
Wei An sneered. Is she the only person that Princess Linjiang dislikes
Now that I think about it, the time when Shen Chen left for his business trip was too coincidental. It was just when Bao Ge'er was in trouble. Besides, what about the miracle medicine? If Bao Ge'er really got into trouble, even if Shen Chen wanted to explain that he was powerless, it would not seem so sincere.
She narrowed her eyes and calmed down the anger in her heart. She felt that the recent events had come one after another, making her lose some of her usual sense of propriety. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, even if she was extremely angry, she would not really punish a prisoner personally.
Living in this world, even if you are in a high position and have great power, you still have to abide by certain conventions. And as a lady from a wealthy family, a future lady of a marquisate, she shouldn't do something that would seem to lose her status.
Although she was eager for revenge, in the eyes of outsiders, it was not a good thing for a woman to dare to do this. Even if the imperial censors did not say anything because of the current power of the Wei family and the King of Zheng, they would never have a good impression of her in their hearts.
After all, men are naturally defensive and are afraid of women who are too powerful.
She was afraid that she had already caught the attention of those people. If she did something similar again, they would not know what to think of her. Although she was not afraid, rumors were powerful and lethal, not because of whether you were afraid of them, but because of whether others believed them or not...
She had a severe headache, and only after getting off the carriage and seeing Nanny Hua did she feel a little better. She asked Nanny Hua softly whether Old Madam Wei had woken up from her nap.
Seeing that she didn't look very happy, Aunt Hua guessed that she was in a bad mood, so she hurriedly said, "Why are you still taking a nap? I heard from the messenger that you would be back today, so I have been waiting for you. Now the Second Young Madam and Brother Niu are talking to the old lady, and the old lady specially asked me to come and wait for you."
Niu Ge'er was not even a month old yet, and the Second Young Lady brought him out to let the old lady have a look. After all, no old lady would go to the courtyard of a younger generation to see a child, for fear of ruining the child's fortune. She was originally preparing to leave, but when she saw Wei Anlai, she stood up and greeted each other with a smile, then said with a smile, "You're finally back. I haven't thanked Seventh Sister for the gift for my third birthday. It's too much."
Wei An's gift for the first meeting was already very generous, but unexpectedly he also prepared a complete set of pure gold bracelets and gold locks for the third day of the baby's birth. The Second Young Lady couldn't help but privately sigh to the Second Madam about her generosity.
Wei An saw that Niu Ge'er was asleep, so he didn't hug him. He smiled and touched his face, saying softly: "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. This is my little nephew. I should love him no matter how much I love him."
Old Madam Wei watched with a smile, and waited until the Second Young Madam took the child out before she pulled Wei An over to sit beside her. She felt distressed and said, "I knew you wouldn't listen and take good care of yourself. Look how haggard you are now. How can you be a bride?"
Wei An pursed his lips, and thought of Shen Chen, feeling even more uneasy. After hesitating for a long time, he still did not tell this matter to Old Madam Wei. He only told her about Baoger's illness.
Old Madam Wei had received the letter before, but she didn't know much about it. After listening to Wei An's explanation, she snorted, "These people are really haunting us. Dong Chengqi has been around for so long, and no one has bothered him. But he is always thinking about hurting people. He comes here to seek revenge? It's a joke. What revenge can he take? If we really follow his theory, then the ones who deserve to die the most are his family. The Jiang family has fallen to the point where they are now because of their own fault, and no one else is to blame. How can he still have the face to talk about revenge or not? In the final analysis, he is just unwilling to accept it and feels that his good days have been interrupted."
Old Madam Wei had seen many people like this and felt disdainful. She asked Wei An if he had confessed the mastermind behind the scenes: "Although he has the intention, he doesn't have the strength. Things are different now. Without the support of the Jiang family, how can he reach out to Prince Zheng's Mansion? There must be someone supporting him behind the scenes."
Without waiting for Wei An to answer, Old Madam Wei sneered again: "Needless to say, at this juncture, the only ones who would attack you are either the Xu family who just suffered a great loss, or Princess Linjiang. Apart from them, I can't think of anyone else who would be so deliberate in dealing with you."
Of the two parties, Mrs. Wei was more suspicious of Princess Linjiang. She coughed and said, "The eldest master of the Xu family has been driven back to his hometown. Logically, as Shen Chen said, Xu Anying is a smart and generous person. If he wants to scheme against someone, he will probably start with these ghostly tricks in the harem. Otherwise, even if he succeeds, he will not be able to raise his head to see people in the future..."
Old Madam Wei sneered, leaned back on the soft pillow and thought of Princess Linjiang. She felt a little chilled again. There was such a poisonous snake waiting by her side, ready to bite at any time, but they just couldn't find her weak spot. It was really a headache.
She couldn't help but ask Wei An: "An An, what did the prince say about this matter? Are you just going to watch them being arrogant? Princess Linjiang has reached out to you more than once or twice. If she still gets away with it this time, I'm afraid she will be even more daring in the future. People's greed is indulged in this way. If you don't treat her well this time, she won't think that you are showing mercy, but will think that you are useless and cautious. She will only think that she is powerful, and will not think that you are tolerant." (To be continued)
