Winter has arrived, and traveling in the snow is really a torture. However, Fang, who has always been spoiled, does not feel tired at all and heaved a sigh of relief as soon as she got on the car.
Chen Mianmian was playing with the gift that Old Lady Wei had just given her, and was very curious: "Why is this glass hairpin like this?"
It was nearly evening, and the lights were already on in the carriage.
The flower hairpin was so dazzling under the light that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.
Fang took a look and said: "That was something made back then, so it must be good. If you hold it under the sun, the color will never be the same."
Chen Mianmian handed the things to the nanny to put away, and then came close to Fang: "Mother, why do we have to come to someone else's house today? The nanny said that except for going to my grandmother's house to celebrate the New Year, we don't have to go out."
Fang touched her head and did not answer her, just let her lower her head and play.
Having accomplished such a big thing, she had more energy to do other things. She lowered her head and looked at the account book handed to her by the nanny. She wrote a few words and handed it over: "Double the gift to the Fang family. I will go with the master tomorrow."
Old Mrs. Fang treated the younger generations very well, and she was also grateful to her mother's family.
Besides, they are all tied to a rope anyway.
The maid agreed, and Fang leaned on the soft pillow to rest for a while. She didn't get up until she got home, and told the maids to take Chen Mianmian to rest. She smiled and scratched the tip of Chen Mianmian's nose: "I've made a new headdress for you. I'll ask Sister Ziyu to take it to you later. Go to bed early tonight. You have to go to your grandmother tomorrow, so you need to get enough rest."
Chen Mianmian agreed with a smile, and Fang went to the study.
Censor Chen had already arranged everything. When he saw Fang come back, he put down the cup in his hand and looked at her: "How is it?"
Fang sat down next to him, poured herself a cup of tea and held it to warm her hands, then nodded to Censor Chen: "Okay, you guessed right, when it comes to the Ming family, the old lady has nothing to say and agreed on the spot."
That is how much the Wei family lost because of the Ming family's affairs.
Censor Chen smiled, picked up his pen and wrote something on the paper, then asked Fang: "Have you prepared the gifts for the visit to the Wei family on the third day of the New Year? Have you leaked the news about Master Wei Wu?"
This matter had been discussed before they went there. The news of Master Wei Wu's promotion was revealed by Empress Fang, and no one else knew about it. They went to tell Old Madam Wei first, as a way of currying favor.
Fang smiled and said yes. Seeing that Censor Chen was writing a letter to his son who was far away, she hurriedly asked him to ask his son to take good care of himself. After Censor Chen finished writing with a wry smile, she said, "Don't worry about that. If you say good things, don't you think I can't even imitate a parrot? It's just..."
She frowned and said, "I think Old Madam Wei is really not close to this son. The rumors outside are not false. When I wanted to come back, Master Wei Wu had already returned home, but it was the Third Madam and Wei An who served the old lady. Princess Changning was nowhere to be seen."
Censor Chen seemed to be thinking about something.
Fang then continued, "Moreover, even the greetings were refused by Old Madam Wei, who told Princess Changning not to come, and she didn't even meet Master Wei Wu."
The story of Princess Changning and Wei Yangqing was well-known throughout the world, and everyone naturally knew the reason behind it.
Censor Chen did not find it strange, he just shook his head: "Forget it, they are a family after all. Old Madam Wei is a very clear person, she has a plan in mind, we don't need to worry. This is good, the Wei family will still have to bear it."
Fang agreed with her eyelids drooped.
I couldn't help but talk about the strange things that happened in the Wei family.
For example, Princess Changning was not at home. She went to the Zhennan Palace. But strangely, Princess Changning did not bring her eldest daughter with her. She was surprised and said, "This is really strange. The mother and daughter acted like strangers. I heard that she even took her concubine's daughter with her."
Censor Chen doesn't care about these.
He cares more about Wei An.
He was a man with a keen sense of smell. Generally, such people would always think more. He could see that Wei An was different. He narrowed his eyes and sighed: "No matter what, don't look down on Princess Changning just because she treats him coldly."
He smiled and said, "This Miss Wei Qi is not an ordinary person."
Wei An’s shadow can be seen everywhere in the transformation of the Wei family.
Censor Chen didn't believe that this was just a coincidence. His many years of experience in officialdom made him extremely smooth. Even when talking to beggars on the street, he was always friendly.
Fang hummed, and said with a sense of joking: "The old princess is different from her daughter. She looks at Miss Wei Qi like the ball of her eye. I wonder what the old princess will do if she knows that her daughter hates her granddaughter so much."
Because Chen Mianmian had wrongly accused Wei An, the old princess hadn't smiled at her for a long time.
Moreover, although Zhuang Feng's affairs were kept secret, everyone in the capital was smart and could hear something. The prince was in trouble and could not inherit the title, and the princess was so sad about the prince's accident that she became a secluded woman. The old aristocratic families knew what was going on at a glance.
This is all because of Wei An.
I don’t know if the old princess can have the same attitude towards her own daughter.
The old princess had the same attitude. After hearing Nanny Cui say that Wei An didn't come, she sat there in a daze for a long time.
Before Princess Changning came back, Wei An came over often. The last time he came, he told her that he would not be able to come over for a while and asked her to take care of herself.
Now it seems that Wei An was right.
She felt like her heart was filled with mixed feelings and was extremely upset.
Of course she was happy that her daughter was back. No matter how heartless she said, she was the child in her belly after all. How could she really not wish the best for Princess Changning and not want to be close to her
But this daughter always does things without leaving any room for others.
She knew clearly about her relationship with Wei An.
But as soon as she came back, she made it clear to the world how much she looked down on Wei An and how much she disliked her daughter.
This is so sarcastic...
It was only until Nanny Cui plucked up the courage to step forward and call her that she came back to her senses.
After she came back to her senses, there was a long silence. She wanted to see her grandchildren, but she wanted to see her daughter even more.
However, this is not good for Princess Changning.
If she doesn't teach Princess Changning a lesson, Princess Changning will probably become even more aggressive.
But Wei Yangqing is not the kind of person who can endure again and again.
What's more, thinking about Wei An, she felt very sad.
After a long while, she finally sighed and said, "Tell the prince that I am tired and I am too lazy to see you. I am afraid that they will not be beautiful after catching a cold. They have come a long way, so let the prince stay for dinner. I will bring the New Year gifts I have prepared to them when the time comes."
Nanny Chen was not around, so Nanny Cui was the closest to the old princess. She opened her eyes wide in surprise and hesitated: "This... You really don't want to see the princess?"
