Old Madam Wei knew what she meant, so she smiled and said, "I'm old now, and I almost forgot everything in the past. But the princess remembers it clearly."
Princess Chu was well-maintained and looked like she was in her twenties. She was not angry at the irony in Mrs. Wei's words. She smiled and glanced at Mrs. Wei's side: "I heard that the old lady took Changning's daughter to raise her by her side. Is this her?"
As she spoke, she waved at Wei An: "You look like your mother. Your mother was a famous beauty in the capital..."
This was too fake. Old Madam Wei looked at her with a half-smile and said, "It's amazing that your eyes are so sharp that you can even see this."
Hearing her strange tone, Princess Chu stopped talking and asked about other things: "Speaking of Changning, she has been accompanying Master Wei Wu on his mission abroad for many years and has hardly returned to the capital..."
She sighed with some regret: "But I heard that Master Wei Wu made great contributions to the flood of Poyang Lake this time. He must have been excellent in the Ministry of Personnel's performance evaluation this time. I believe he will be able to return to Beijing soon, and then the old lady will be more relaxed."
After the Princess of Chu finished speaking, she glanced at the Third and Second Madams and said, "Now that your dear daughter-in-law is here, you can finally feel more at ease."
Old Madam Fang couldn't get a word in and felt it was a little strange. It seemed like the Princess of Chu had come here specifically for Old Madam Wei, so why was she always following Old Madam Wei around
Old Madam Wei glanced at the Second and Third Madams and shook her head calmly: "What are you talking about, Princess? My three daughters-in-law are all here with me. There is no shortage of people to serve me."
The trick was almost over. Princess Chu walked into the main hall, chatting and laughing. Then she brought up the matter of Cao Wen: "Come to think of it, I just came to the capital, but I know that the Cao family is arrogant. I heard that you, old lady, have been troubled by him many times?"
She sneered: "Relying on his uncle Cao An's power, he doesn't know his own weight, it's ridiculous." She laughed again: "But it's also fortunate that he met you and Miss Seven. I heard that Miss Seven is very powerful and she is not afraid of Cao Wen..."
She looked Wei An up and down and said, "If it was any other girl, she would have been frightened to death."
Mrs. Wei had a smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes.
The Princess of Chu must have heard that the Chen family had invited her to the religious ceremony, so she came.
This makes people feel even more chilled.
There was something obviously strange about Zhu Fang's death before. Perhaps Zhu Fang really spread the news.
Thinking of this, she looked at the Princess of Chu with a colder look. If someone showed kindness for no reason, he was either a traitor or a thief. The Wei family should not have been a threat on the surface, but the attitude of the Princess of Chu was very telling.
Princess Chu was still asking Wei An about her well-being: "I heard that the old lady went to Tongzhou due to illness a while ago, and you were the one who accompanied her? Although you are young, you are filial and responsible..."
For some reason, Princess Chu always felt that Wei An made people feel uneasy.
On the surface, this little girl looks no different from other children, but if you get to know her carefully, it is not difficult to find her differences.
The most intuitive thing is that after such a long journey, no matter what was asked, Wei An was always able to evade the important questions calmly and make it impossible for people to find any evidence against him.
It is really terrifying to see a child with such ability to hide his emotions.
It really does seem strange no matter how you look at it.
Qi Wei had specially found Chen Yushi to stop the sedan chair in the street to file a complaint, which dragged Zhu Fang into an eternal hell. Chen Yushi was the son-in-law of the Fang family and the cousin-in-law of Queen Fang... ...
Princess Chu simply wouldn't believe that there was nothing strange about these two families.
It was clear that Old Madam Fang and Old Madam Wei had been strangers in the past few years, but now they suddenly became close. She just didn't believe it because they had forgotten their grudges after meeting and laughing.
Now that she had thought of this, Princess Chu's worries grew even more severe.
When Chu Jingrui came in to pay his respects at noon, he asked her what she thought of Old Madam Wei and the others, so she told him the truth: "I think your father is probably right. The Wei family might really be related to Zhu Fang's matter."
She paused, and then continued: "Even if they are not the masterminds, they are probably very important driving forces."
Chu Jingrui leaned back on the mahogany chair, opened his eyes and suddenly looked at Princess Chu, and said, "Two families that have had no contact for so many years have suddenly come together. It's not like they are just old and nostalgic. It seems that what Zhu Fang said is most likely true."
Princess Chu was a little anxious: "If this is true, then Mrs. Wei is probably the same as the Fang family now. If she is really that powerful, she would have sent Zhu Fang to prison and put her to death, and she also knew about the mining..."
Princess Chu felt goosebumps all over her body. "Could it be that she knows about what happened back then?"
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Mrs. Wei insisted on killing Zhu Fang.
This is more like venting and revenge.
But how did Mrs. Wei know this
According to Zhu Fang, Wei Qi is very strange... ..
Princess Chu shuddered.
Chu Jingrui was much calmer than her. He laughed coldly and comforted his mother: "It's no big deal even if you know..."
He waved his hand and called the head aunt to him, and said to her with a smile: "Didn't someone come out of the palace..."
The head aunt responded in a low voice, "Yes, they came out. Concubine Feng heard that the Chen family was holding a ceremony and that Old Madam Wei was also coming, so she ordered someone to come out, saying that they were going to perform a ritual for Marquis Rongchang and his son."
Perhaps the words of the Princess of Chu took effect.
Chu Jingrui glanced at Princess Chu, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Look, there's no need for us to worry. Even if the Wei family jumps around, how long can they jump around? They're just grasshoppers after autumn... We'll talk about it after they can get past Concubine Feng."
After he finished speaking, seeing the relief on the face of Princess Chu, he instructed the head aunt: "You can talk to Concubine Feng's people about how rare Miss Wei Qi is, and how Madam Wei and Madam Fang get along so well."
Princess Chu patted her chest, and when it was no longer so stuffy, she nodded: "Be careful, let them see for themselves. There is no one else in Longguan this time, so you should make it convenient for them and let them enter the courtyard where the women of the Chen family rest, so that they can hear what they should hear."
Why do you have to say it yourself
Let them think that it was someone from the Wei family or the Fang family who said it, so that it would seem more credible.
Concubine Feng is a cautious person, and her subordinates are also cautious people. They cannot be bribed, so it is better to go with the flow.
