Wei Yuyou didn't say anything. She disliked Wei An because his behavior was annoying and he was always scolding people, which was very annoying. But once Wei An softened first, she would not be able to stand it.
Madam Kong also knew this truth. She sighed and waited until the Third Madam sent Wei Yuyou to sleep before she said to the Third Madam: "Just as you said, he doesn't look like the same person at all..." She thought for a while before finding the right words to describe Wei An: "He doesn't talk much, but every word he says touches people's hearts. He knows that the Fifth Miss is soft-hearted, so he lowers himself. You don't know, that look makes even this old slave feel soft-hearted..."
Before Madam Kong finished her words, the curtain outside was opened, and the Third Master strode in wearing a dark green brocade robe. He took off the jade pendant from his body and threw it to Hong Xing beside him with a little impatience. He sat back in the chair and took a sip of tea before raising his eyes and asking, "Who are you talking about?"
Madam Kong glanced at the Third Lady - the Third Master... If she knew that Wei Yuyou had gotten into trouble, she wouldn't know what to do. She didn't know whether she should tell him about it or change the subject.
The Third Lady knew her husband's character very well. This husband was the most powerful. It didn't matter if he did something wrong. The key was to admit his mistakes. If he kept hiding it, and it was exposed and affected him in the future, that would be really fatal. So she smiled and told him the story of Puci Temple in a hurry, emphasizing the usefulness of Miss Chen. Seeing that the Third Master Wei Yangting had really frowned, she changed the subject and said, "So I asked Wu Niang to apologize to Xiao Qi, so that Xiao Qi would calm down."
The Third Master stood up from his large chair, his jaw tensed, and tapped his fingers on the handle of the chair. He first asked Wei Yuyou, "Where is she?" Then he looked at the Third Madam, "I heard that someone from Nanchang Prefecture just came to give a festival gift to my mother and the mansion. How could she be so ignorant at this critical moment?!"
Nanny Kong was so frightened that she looked at the Third Lady. She had always been a little afraid of this son-in-law.
The Third Madam smiled widely, pinching her handkerchief and touching her lips: "That's right, someone just came to give her festival gifts, and she said she couldn't come back for the Qingming Festival, but the old lady didn't say anything." She brought up the topic lightly, not mentioning Wei Qi and Wei Wu at all, and said: "Come to think of it, my sister-in-law didn't mention it at all, what should we do with Xiao Qi..." She sighed: "She's not young anymore, she's eleven years old, and the fifth sister is only one year older than her. We've all started to look for a marriage for her, but the princess didn't seem to expect... You also know our old lady... It doesn't seem right for Xiao Qi to continue like this."
After receiving the reminder, the Third Master remembered the fact that Wei Qi was not favored at all. His frown relaxed a little, "I'm afraid the Fifth Sister-in-law didn't expect that those who are not raised by their side are not as good as those who are raised by their side. You don't know, I heard from Manager Lin that the Fifth Sister-in-law even asked him to go to the Zhennan Palace to get the East China Sea Pearl to make shoes for Eleven..."
The Third Lady raised her hand to straighten the slightly crooked golden phoenix-beaded tasseled hairpin, and looked at the Third Master in surprise: "This... What should Xiao Qi think of this... No wonder the old lady is so cold to Manager Lin..."
The Third Madam said this to make the Third Master happy. The Wei family had caused such a big incident that the Old Lady and the Fifth Master had a grudge that could not be reconciled - there were more than a hundred lives of the Old Lady's family in between. The Old Lady had already determined that it was Princess Changning and Wei Yangqing who indirectly forced Ming Yuyou to death, cutting off her last bit of hope, and was extremely cold to the Fifth Master Wei and his wife.
In this case, and the emperor's attitude is ambiguous, then there is still room for the title to be usurped.
There is also a precedent of illegitimate sons inheriting titles in this dynasty. For example, in the family of Duke Dingguo, the legitimate son died in the northwest battlefield, and the illegitimate son who went with him and returned safely took advantage of the situation and inherited the title.
Sure enough, the third master had a faint smile in his eyes: "Old Five is really outrageous, and my sister-in-law is really." He asked the third wife: "If your uncle's family needs your help at the party, you should also know how to ask for help..."
The Third Madam sneered in her heart. Although he sounded nicely as a cousin, in fact, they were thousands of miles apart. They were only related as cousins in the beginning, and did not have the same ancestor. The Third Madam herself knew how she was ridiculed by the ladies behind her back as a crow with phoenix feathers attached. In fact, she did not like to get close to him. But the Third Master was very keen to get close to him.
She had to shamelessly send gifts during festivals and visit relatives, but she was always so angry that she couldn't even eat. Now the Third Master asked her to help... She put away these thoughts and smiled respectfully at the Third Master: "Don't worry, Master, I know my limits."
This time she really knew her limits. Of course she had to go and look after Madam Chen to prevent her from saying anything unpleasant. She also had to take advantage of the family gatherings at Duke Yansheng's house to take Wei Yuyou out to meet more people - after all, he was already twelve years old and it was time for him to start looking for a marriage partner.
She thought of this and told the third master: "My grandmother personally sent invitations several times before the old lady agreed to go. Because of the matter at Puci Temple this time, I made preparations and asked Xiaoqi to go with me..."
The Third Master nodded without hesitation: "That's right. Xiao Qi was not born to be with Fifth Brother's wife, but the old Princess Zhennan likes her very much. The old Princess Zhennan will definitely go to this occasion. You can take Xiao Qi with you. Xiao Qi is also a sensible person..."
The Third Master always calculated every debt of favor very clearly. When the Third Lady heard this, she wanted to laugh. But when she heard the Third Master say that Wei Qi was a sensible man, she stopped laughing.
Wei Qi used to be worthy of the title of wise man, but now it seems... She lowered her eyes, waited until the third master had rested, and sent someone to Wei An's yard again: "See what Miss Qi is doing, and report back to me."
Wei An was not in his own courtyard. Aunt Hua tucked in the quilt for the old lady and told her, "In the small porch, when I went over, she was leaning over the table and drawing patterns. She said she wanted to make a headband for you. She asked me what kind I liked, the one with twined branches or grapes, and also asked me if I liked purple or cloud blue..."
"You know how to climb up the pole." Old Madam Wei sneered, but she felt a little uncomfortable. Ming Yuyou was like this back then. If someone did something wrong and was a little angry with her, she would feel uneasy and always have to do something to make people happy before she could sleep. She pursed her lips and said, "You actually know how to please people."
