Wei An couldn't sleep. The sky was full of shining stars. She looked through the window at the twinkling stars outside and suddenly had the thought that it would be better to die. However, she suppressed the thought in just a moment.
God gave her a chance to live again, not to let her come back and complain about herself.
Why did Mrs. Wei die? It was because the Wei family suffered a series of disasters. These disasters were not caused by God at all, but by man. Wei An also knew where all these disasters started.
It started with Wei Yumin, the eldest daughter of Marquis Dingbei.
In the previous life, Duke Yansheng's family also held a family party. Because it was a family party of Duke Yansheng, almost all the prominent families in the capital went. Not only did the princesses condescend to attend, but even the Empress personally gifted a few pots of rare and famous flowers as decoration.
Wei Yumin met with misfortune at this party that everyone in the capital was looking forward to. Wei An had no idea what she had done specifically, but he only knew that she had made a fool of herself at the party at the home of Duke Yansheng. From then on, Duke Yansheng's family avoided the Wei family like the plague, and from then on the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion trampled on Wei Yumin even more unscrupulously.
The Pingyang Marquis's Mansion had never dared to do so before. Even when rumors were spreading in the court that Old Madam Wei was colluding with the remnants of the Ming family to cause chaos, the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion was always cautious. The most excessive thing they had done was to treat Wei Yumin coldly and the Pingyang Marquis's son Zhu Fang kept bringing women into the house.
What happened at the family party of Duke Yansheng that caused Wei Yumin to completely lose power in the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, and the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion even ignored Old Madam Wei? You have to know that Old Madam Wei was completely forced into a desperate situation after the new emperor ascended the throne. Before that, Emperor Longqing had always been very good to his only sister-in-law.
She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she just put on her clothes and got up.
The weather in early summer was still a little chilly, but she didn't feel cold. She sat down on the steps in the corridor, and her mind became clearer because of the cool breeze.
She couldn't let all this tragedy happen again. Old Lady Wei had a special status. After her death, people all over the world criticized the new emperor, which made the new emperor angry and humiliated. Later, an imperial censor catered to the emperor's wishes and used Old Lady Wei as an example, saying that Old Lady Wei's behavior was disregarding the new emperor's face and that she threatened to kill herself in order to put the new emperor in a very unjust position, which showed that her heart was not right.
The censors can make the dead appear alive.
From then on, the new emperor could be said to have completely and justifiably ignored the Wei family.
How could he keep Old Lady Wei alive? Wei An understood in his heart that what Old Lady Wei was thinking about were only the children of the Prince of Dingbei. If this last straw was broken, then the old lady really didn't want to live anymore.
Everything in the Wei family had nothing to do with her anymore - the third master and the fifth master were not her biological children, the fourth aunt married far away, and she hated her youngest legitimate son so much that she wished she had never had him.
Since the only person she cared about was tortured to death, she didn't care whether her death would make the Wei family hated by the new emperor. Wei An could understand the old lady's despair at that moment. She was going to die anyway, so why bother about the flood after death.
And since all this needs to be changed, the first thing to do is of course to save the lives of Old Madam Wei's lifeblood. Wei Yumin and the others must not be in any danger. If something happens to her, the First Madam will not survive, and if the First Madam cannot survive, Old Madam Wei will not survive either. This is why Wei An wants to sell this good thing to the Third Madam and Wei Yuyou. She needs this opportunity to go to the party - Old Madam Wei will never take her there, and she has to ask Old Madam Wei for Lan He and Yuqing first, and then beg Old Madam Wei to go to the party. Old Madam Wei might think that she is doing something bad.
Fortunately, the third wife is still very sensible.
She sighed softly, patted her slightly cold face, stood up and wanted to walk into the room, but she heard a rustling sound from the corner.
Her yard has always been extremely quiet. Except for the maid in her own room, almost no one would set foot here. Besides, it was so late... ... How could there be footsteps
She felt strange and stood behind the porch pillar for a while. She saw Qiuyun, the eldest maid in her room, followed the housekeeper out of the courtyard with a panicked look on her face.
The housekeeper was Madam Li, who was also Princess Changning's person. She was very serious with Wei An. Whenever Wei An made a mistake, she would look down on her with a condescending attitude, as if she had expected it, and shake her head lightly.
This was the first time Wei An saw her after his rebirth - she had asked for leave to go home, saying that her daughter was sick.
In large families, it was uncountable for maids, stewards and mothers to collude to exchange favors. Wei An was already accustomed to it and did not find it strange. However, he did not expect that even his mother's people could be so bold. After a moment's hesitation, he did not make a sound to alarm them.
It was so late, and they were acting so sneaky. She didn't have the ability to deal with them now. If she alarmed them, she might just get herself into trouble.
Nanny Wang was sleeping very soundly. Wei An looked at Nanny Wang's profile through the dim moonlight outside the house and couldn't help but smile.
No matter what, Nanny Wang is back with her. She still has plenty of time to grow and countless opportunities. God has really been kind to her.
But she felt something was wrong as soon as she sat down. She wrinkled her nose and sniffed for a while, then stood up and walked a few steps to the table. She opened the lid of the hollow triangular incense burner engraved with a unicorn. What was burning inside was not her usual jasmine scent, but the soothing lily scent!
Of course she knew what it was. She had wanted to strangle Peng Lingwei to death many times after she fell asleep after smelling the fragrance!
No wonder Nanny Wang sleeps so soundly!
Her heart skipped a beat, and when she thought of Mother Li and Qiuyun, she felt something was a little weird.
What was so important that not only did they have to sneak out of the yard in the middle of the night to talk about it, but they also had to light soothing incense to make them fall asleep
Wei An sat at the table, feeling cold from the soles of his feet to his heart - Mother Li was the favorite of Princess Changning. After accompanying him to Yuzhang, she went to serve Wei Yulong and continued to be the housekeeper, accompanying Wei Yulong until the day she died.
How could a person who could become the confidant of Princess Changning and who should stay by her side and stand by her side until the end be a fool? And how could he be greedy for small profits
So what was the reason why she wanted to meet the girl beside her in the middle of the night
The crescent moon in the sky disappeared into the clouds. Wei An sat alone in front of it for a long time. After a while, he leaned over to close the lid and lay back on the bed.
She will eventually figure out the secret here, and it won't be too late.
