Sometimes the Third Lady didn’t know whether she should say that Wei An had a bad fate or envy Wei An for his good fate.
Although she had such an unreliable mother, she still had a grandmother who doted on her. She regained her composure and realized that the old princess was just being polite. She must have come here because she heard about Princess Duan. So she smiled and nodded, and helped the old princess all the way to He'an Courtyard.
They haven't seen each other for many years. The last time they met was at the Kong family, but even then, they didn't say anything. Now that they meet again, Mrs. Wei thinks that her resentment has been reduced a lot, but she still can't let go of her grudges with a smile. After greeting each other, she smiled faintly and let Wei An take the old princess back to her room to talk in detail.
She kept the Third Lady herself, and patted her hand sincerely, "Don't blame An An for this matter."
The third wife was shocked and quickly shook her head: "How can you blame An An for this? Others are calculating and have no real intention to discuss marriage. I understand this truth. Mother, you are really embarrassed to say this..."
These wives, even the illegitimate ones, are so sensible. Old Madam Wei's eyes darkened, and she once again felt that Master Wei Wu must have been blinded by greed to marry such an ignorant ancestor.
She nodded with relief: "I feel much better now that you think this way. What you said was that the other person was not sincere in discussing marriage, so it's a good thing that it didn't work out..." She said in a slightly heavy voice: "If it really worked out, I'm afraid I would be another Amin in the future."
The Third Madam was horrified by what she said. She trembled when she thought of Wei Yumin's fate. She even wanted to kill the wife of Pingxi Marquis and Madam Zheng. She lowered her voice and sneered, gritting her teeth and said, "You really don't treat people as human beings." After she finished speaking, she looked at the old lady again: "Mother, the people who were placed in Princess Duan's courtyard, didn't they send out any useful information? And Ninghe..."
Mrs. Wei knew that she was worried, so she patted her shoulder soothingly: "Don't worry about these things... nothing will happen... you just need to take good care of the house..."
She added, "You understand, but Xiaowu may not. I've seen Xiaowu these days, and she seems to be resentful of Xiaoqi. She probably thinks Xiaoqi ruined her marriage. You should talk to her more about the truth and tell her not to worry. After this incident, I will naturally find her a better one."
With Mrs. Wei's words, the Third Lady felt more relieved and nodded repeatedly.
I felt like sighing again. Compared with Wei Qi in the past, Wei Yuyou could be considered the best. But now, compared with Wei Qi, Wei Yuyou is not good in every way...
Wei An didn't know that she was being compared with Wei Yuyou. She was listening attentively to what the old princess was saying.
She was the child raised by the old princess. As soon as the old princess saw her expression, she knew that she must have had a hard time recently.
They always make a big fuss when others are sad, wishing that everyone in the world would be sad with them.
However, Wei An's sadness was always restrained and contained. Because he was holding his breath, he couldn't even show his joy or anger. After going to Puci Temple, the situation worsened.
She sighed and said to Wei An, "I know everything..."
Everyone knows that Wei An was slandered in Puci Temple for stealing Chen Mianmian's jade ruyi. It was Princess Changning who instructed Matron Li and Matron Ge to do it.
That's why Nanny Li just happened to avoid the task of going to Puci Temple with Wei An.
Wei An hummed.
It seemed like nothing was said, yet it seemed like everything was said.
Wei An had many faults, but she really had nothing to say about Princess Changning.
Such a stubborn and willful person, but he never got angry towards Princess Changning. He never picked up a needle and thread, but for Princess Changning's birthday, he could embroider a double-sided embroidery of the Eight Horses stitch by stitch.
She has always been like a moth circling around a flame, and has been attracted to Princess Changning.
The old princess said no more, lowered her head and closed her eyes: "I didn't raise a good daughter."
She came back to her senses and shook her head: "Let's not talk about this anymore. She's coming back soon. You should be prepared. I'm coming back to tell you something else."
Wei An leaned his head on her knees, hugged her waist and hummed softly.
Like a kitten clinging to its owner.
The old princess felt her heart soften and leaned over to fix her hair. "Now the whole capital is saying that you are a lucky star. Last time I heard your uncle mention that Empress Fang's pregnancy in the palace was not very good. I also heard that you are going to enter the palace..."
She sighed with a complicated expression: "Call yourself sick... Xiaoqi, you are still just a child..."
Wei An held the old princess's hand, which had not been withdrawn yet, and looked up at her seriously, shaking his head: "No, grandma, you treat me as a child, but others don't treat me as a child anymore. In their eyes, I am just a tool that can plot against the entire Wei family."
"The King of Chu is too worried..." She put her head back on the old princess's lap: "Besides, someone needs to pay back the more than one hundred lives of the Ming family."
The old princess was almost laughing at her: "Just you?" She was a little excited, holding Wei An's face: "He is a vassal king! A powerful vassal in the north! Even the emperor has to be cautious, and his influence is spread throughout the court and the country. Do you think you can make him pay for his blood debt with blood?! An An, you are still too young..."
Only a child would do this without considering the consequences and only seek to avenge himself.
But often this impulse does not bring any good results.
With the current capabilities of the Wei family, trying to compete with the King of Chu is simply like hitting a rock with an egg or an ant trying to shake a tree.
Wei An shook her arm and smiled like a little fox: "Speaking of this, I have something to ask of you..."
The old princess frowned, thinking that she didn't take her words to heart at all, but when she smiled at her, she lost her temper again. She poked her forehead with a finger, angrily and helplessly: "You!"
Seeing that Wei An just smiled, she could no longer be angry and asked her in a low voice: "How can I help you?"
"Yes, yes." Wei An looked up at her and said, "You can often come to the palace. Why don't you ask Queen Fang when you are free whether the Princess of Chu often comes to the palace recently..."
The only person in the harem who could be related to the Feng family was Concubine Feng.
However, there is no record of Concubine Feng's deeds in her previous life, and she died of depression due to the death of the third prince... We don't even know her temper.
In this life, Wei An couldn't figure out what she was thinking, and he didn't know whether she was related to Feng's plan to frame the Wei family, so he had to find out the truth first.
