The trip to Huilongguan came inexplicably and ended inexplicably.
Old Madam Wei had to think more: "The King of Chu has been able to endure so well for so many years, but this time he couldn't help himself and revealed the traces?"
She smiled faintly: "I'm afraid there is another plan?"
A wolf will eat people when it travels a thousand miles, and a dog will eat shit when it travels a thousand miles. The King of Chu is such a scheming person. Even if he suspected that the Wei family was up to something, why would he use such a crude method to test them
It's clear that the drunkard's intention is not to drink...
The Third Master was also confused. He pondered for a long time but could not find the answer. "My son also finds it very strange. Logically speaking, even if the King of Chu suspected us and the Chen family, he should not have come to our door so quickly and let us find out." He paused and said, "Could it be that he is afraid that the Chen family will join forces with us?"
In the original plan of the King of Chu, he dared to wipe out the Feng, Fang and Wei families in one fell swoop, and even dragged the King of Zheng into it. How could he be afraid of anything
Old Mrs. Wei frowned.
After a while, he sighed again: "At this point, we can only take one step at a time."
The Third Master also nodded and said, "The King of Chu is indeed difficult to deal with, but now that the Third Prince is dead, his life is not easy either. A lot of things were found in Cao An's place, and he himself has a lot of things to deal with. He has no intention of dealing with us for the time being."
The second master didn't say anything. He was just staring at Wei An.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the Princess of Chu and her entourage were coming for Wei An today.
Outside, the Prince of Chu condescended to talk to him for a long time, and implicitly asked him about Wei An's previous experience at Puci Temple. He also said that Wei An was kind-hearted and did not shout out the matter, making Chen Mianmian unable to live a normal life, and gave Chen Mianmian a way to survive.
These are not things that the Prince of Chu should know, and the thirst for knowledge he displays is a little too strong.
After hearing what the Third Master said, the Second Master came back to his senses and said softly, "They seem to be very concerned about Xiao Qi... I don't know why."
Old Madam Wei also noticed this. Princess Chu asked about Wei An too many times.
Everything that changes will inevitably escape the eyes of others. Old Mrs. Wei knows this very well. After all, it was well known that she disliked Wei An in the past. Now she keeps Wei An with her all the time. No matter whether others suspect that there is something special about Wei An or are curious about why she treats Wei An differently, it is normal for them to pay special attention to Wei An.
You can't force others to stop thinking about Wei An.
She sighed: "No matter what, I have to be careful and cautious. An An should not go out these days... just stay away from others."
After all, no one knows what the King of Chu and his men will do.
Wei An nodded, stood up, sent the second and third masters out, and accompanied Old Madam Wei for dinner.
By the time they got back from shooting arrows, it was already evening. The setting sun cast a thin layer of golden light on the scenery in the courtyard. Nanny Wang was sitting under the porch making shoe patterns. When she heard the noise, she stood up quickly and asked Lan He to prepare tea and snacks while coming to greet her: "Young lady, you're back! Is it fun outside?"
She was worried that Chen Mianmian was angry with her because of the past, so she looked at Wei An's face and saw that Wei An was still calm, so she asked her tentatively: "Is everything going well?"
Wei An knew that she was worried, so he smiled and reassured her, then asked her, "Did you send in any news?"
The last time Master Xie San came to visit, Wei An had already agreed on a thank-you gift with Xie Liangcheng, and she specifically asked for several of Xie Liangcheng's subordinates.
They are all servants of the Xie family in Jingxi, and some of them are not Xie Liangcheng's men. They only listen to the words of the third master Xie and the head of the Xie family. Xie Liangcheng doesn't know why Wei An even knows the details of the people serving in their family. He was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a while. After a long time, he agreed to go back and think about it.
These people had all served as Xie Liangcheng's right-hand men in their previous lives, and Wei An was able to command them. After all, they were people he could use easily and he knew them inside out. With them around to help him with things, Wei An felt much more at ease.
But she also knew that Xie Liangcheng might not be able to be the master of these people now. After all, these people were not ordinary servants, and the Xie family might not be willing to do so.
After all, it is extremely difficult to cultivate a capable person.
Two or three days have passed now. Given Xie Liangcheng's efficiency, he should have responded, so Wei An asked as soon as he remembered.
Nanny Wang also forgot to ask Wei An about Huilongguan and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, it was just delivered in this afternoon."
When Wei An entered the shooting room, she quickly ran to the back of the treasure chest, took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to her: "It was delivered in person by Manager Lin. I went to get it specially."
Wei An nodded, took out the letter and read it, and his brows gradually relaxed.
Xie Liangcheng was indeed amazing. He managed to convince the third master Xie so quickly and got five of the nine people Wei An had specifically requested. As for the other four, he said that the Xie family had not agreed yet because they were all helping the Xie family manage the property outside. They had only written a document of surrender, so he had to ask the other party's opinion.
Five are enough.
Wei An tapped the table with his slender fingers and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
After a while, he instructed Nanny Wang to ask Sun Xing to buy a house outside.
Aunt Wang was a little surprised and stammered, "Girl... You can't do this... You are so young now, how can you go out?"
She held Wei An's hand and said, "You are still young and don't know that life outside is not that simple. How can you bear the daily necessities of life, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea? And you have parents and elders around you..."
Wei An waved his hands and smiled: "Mammy, what are you thinking? Why would I want to live outside? Not to mention that I am a girl, even if I were a boy, I would have no good life if I dared to do this. I have other uses, just ask Sun Xing to do this."
She thought about it, and asked Nanny Wang to take out all the jewelry that the old princess had given her before: "Give it to Sun Xing, and ask him to pawn it for me and exchange it for cash. It will be of great use to me."
These jewelries were all made of pure gold and silver, which would be worth at least one or two thousand taels of silver. For an unmarried girl, it was a huge sum of private money. Nanny Wang was reluctant to part with it, but seeing Wei An's determination and knowing that she would be of great use to it, she sighed and agreed.
She was increasingly confused about what her girl was thinking.
-----I want to say something to you, but I don’t know what to say, so just kiss me, I love you.
