A crescent moon was hanging in the sky. Through the window, one could see a faint halo of color surrounding the crescent. Old Mrs. Wei was refreshed by the cool breeze of early summer. She sighed for a while and said, "I'm afraid that if you come to our house, you will be labeled as a traitor... This behavior is really despicable."

Old Madam Wei doesn't care much about who gets the vacant title of the Wei family. It's ridiculous that the Third Master and the others have their own thoughts, but they don't even think about how the current emperor killed the entire Ming family and why the title of the Wei family is still vacant.

The eldest lady was a little anxious: "Then mother..."

Old Madam Wei raised her hand to interrupt her and glanced outside with heavy eyes: "Don't worry."

She didn't say exactly how she felt relieved.

But even so, the eldest lady's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly fell back into her stomach - Old Madam Wei had always been very kind to Wei Yumin and Wei Yumei.

"Take my invitation." Old Madam Wei turned to Nanny Dong who had just come in and ordered, "We have fresh watermelons and melons delivered from our farm. There are none available elsewhere. Go and tell the Third Madam to send some to the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion and the Hu family, so that they can be tasted by my in-laws and our aunt."

Nanny Dong responded respectfully, lifted the curtain and went out without stopping.

Old Madam Wei said to the first wife, "You should go and rest first. If you fall down, won't Amin be in a more difficult situation? Don't be so flustered when things happen..." Her voice gradually lowered: "Otherwise, when I die, who will you rely on?"

The eldest lady's family is unreliable. When the Marquis and the Crown Prince died, many people in the court accused them of being accomplices of the Ming family. The eldest lady's family did not come to offer condolences, but instead came to ask for a divorce.

The eldest lady was not a very strong person, but this time she did not give her family the slightest bit of face. She scolded them loudly and drove them all away.

When she thought of these past events, her heart felt as if it was surrounded by wet cotton. When she heard Old Mrs. Wei mention the word death, she was even more sad and didn't know what to do.

Old Madam Wei did not ask her to say anything more. Her eyes stayed on her for a while, and she suddenly snorted, "I just said it casually. I still have to watch Yuan Jieer grow up. The Zhu family is shameless enough to send their eldest daughter to King Zheng as a concubine. That's their business. But if they want to scare them... that's too stupid."

After all, Wei Yumin's daughter Zhu Yuan was only four years old. Could they decide Zhu Yuan's future now? They just wanted to use this eldest daughter to curry favor with Emperor Longqing and show that they would always be his dogs.

Old Madam Wei felt sick thinking about these things, so she simply stopped talking and began to ask about the eldest lady's health in a friendly manner. She also told her, "Take this opportunity to go over and deliver something. If you have anything to say to A-min, ask Madam Dong to take it to her."

The eldest lady responded, and after hearing this, she could no longer sit still. She stood up and hurried out of the yard. As soon as she left the yard, she saw Wei An sitting next to the stone table under the rose stand.

She paused, not seeing clearly for a moment, and actually took a few more steps forward, widening her eyes and shouting, "Young fish?!"

Aunt Hua was talking to Old Madam Wei about sending fresh fruit to the Pingyang Marquis's residence: "The Zhu family is a flattering family. How could they be so happy just because you send some fruit? I'm afraid it will be in vain."

Having followed Old Madam Wei for so long, she could guess a lot of things. Just as she was about to say something else, she heard the voice of the First Madam. For a moment she suspected that she had misheard until the First Madam called out "Yuyou" again. Then she supported Old Madam Wei who had stood up, took a few quick steps and lifted the curtain. At a glance, she saw Wei An standing under the rose rack, his face invisible in the moonlight.

The eldest lady only saw Wei An's face clearly at this time. She stood there in shock and suspicion, looking her up and down for a while, then turned back to look at Old Madam Wei who had already lifted the curtain and come out.

Wei An... ... really looks so much like Ming Yuyou. I wonder if Grandma Wei can see it.

Of course Old Madam Wei could see it. She waved at Wei An in a daze. When Wei An came to her, she looked at her with a complicated expression, ordered someone to send the eldest lady back, and led Wei An into the main room.

It just so happened that the child born by the woman who had snatched away Yu You's beloved and everything from Yu You was the most like Yu You... She calmed herself down, took a sip of tea, and looked at Wei An who was sitting there calmly without the slightest surprise. Suddenly, she felt that the soul residing in this body seemed to be different from before.

No matter how mature a girl is, she is still a girl after all. Some things cannot be learned from books. The calmness shown by Wei An, as well as her composure and confidence in victory shown in the past two days, are definitely not something a weak girl who has been raised in the boudoir and experienced only the contempt and coldness of others can have.

Wei An is different.

In the past, Wei An was timid and her eyes were always gloomy. No matter how pretty her face was, it would not stand out against such an unpleasant temperament. But when she put aside those gloom and sadness, she seemed to have turned into a completely different person.

Mrs. Wei looked at her, but her heart was looking at someone else. After a long while, she asked her, "You want someone from me? How do you know I will give it to you?"

In the past, Wei An didn't like to get close to He'anyuan. To be more precise, she didn't like to get close to anyone. Children who have been without their parents for many years are always more fragile and sensitive than other normal children. Many things can make them feel that their self-esteem is damaged. Wei An is like a hedgehog covered with thorns, carefully protecting her belly so that others don't see that she has soft spots in her thorny body.

What kind of experience made this little girl grow up overnight and even have a calm look in her eyes

Wei An shook his head honestly: "I can't say for sure, I just feel that my grandmother will always look after me..."

When she spoke, her eyes were no longer evasive. Instead, she looked at you with eyes that were clean and spotless, like those of a newborn baby, which was really irresistible.

A person who has the calmness, composure, and meticulousness that only a person who has experienced the world can have, who is neither humble nor arrogant and just right in not being annoying, while still maintaining such a clean look.

This was indeed somewhat contradictory, but Mrs. Wei smiled happily.

She thought of Ming Yuyou, the child she raised and who had been by her side since childhood. Like Wei An, she was a smart and clever girl, yet she was worldly-wise without being worldly-wise.

She curled her lips, her mood obviously improved a lot, and asked Wei An in a gentle voice: "Why do you only like these two?"
