Princess Changning kept her word and asked Wei An to go to her room after lunch that day. Her attitude was more friendly than ever before.
Not only on that day, but in the few days after sending King Zheng away, she was so kind to Wei An that it was a little scary. She sent Wei An new clothes almost all the time during these days.
Even Nanny Cui and Nanny Chen from Prince Zhennan's Mansion allowed her to see them, contrary to their usual behavior.
When Nanny Chen saw Wei An, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. She knelt down upright and wanted to kowtow to Wei An, chanting "Miss Seventh, may you be blessed with good fortune and live a long life" in her mouth.
In previous years, the old princess would say this to Wei An every year, but this year she couldn’t say it.
Wei An's eyes were also red. He almost squatted down and held Nanny Chen's hand to lift her up. He held back his tears and asked her, "Is grandma in good health..."
Nanny Chen raised her hand to wipe her tears, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, the old princess specifically told me to tell you, don't worry about her, she's fine."
The old princess once said that she would not close her eyes until she saw Wei An live to the fullest.
Nanny Chen didn't dare to repeat these discouraging words to Wei An, and tried to say auspicious words to liven up the atmosphere. After a while, she took Wei An's hand and sighed, "The old princess asked again and again, why didn't you go with us on the second day of the New Year?"
It is said that Princess Changning's attitude suddenly softened. Not only did she take the initiative to make new clothes for Wei An, she also took Wei An with her everywhere. For a while, she was even more favored than Wei Yulong.
The news was spread everywhere in the capital as a strange event. The Zhennan Palace had also heard the news a long time ago. However, when the old princess heard it, she was not very happy and her expression was indifferent.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, everyone thought that Princess Changning would bring Wei An to pay New Year's greetings together, but Wei An still didn't go. The old princess was so angry that she didn't even eat.
Nanny Chen asked softly, "The old princess asked if the princess is still making things difficult for you?"
Everything should be done in moderation. If Princess Changning really goes further and insists on having her own way, not to mention Wei Yangqing, even the old princess will not want this daughter anymore.
Wei An smiled and shook his head.
This time, Princess Changning really said that she would take her to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, but she couldn't go this time - Old Lady Wei took her to Jing'an Temple outside the city to establish a longevity ranking.
It was her mother Ming Yuyou's.
She suffered a lot in her life, but no matter how hard it was, she tried her best to give birth to Wei An.
She still remembers how Mrs. Wei cried in front of the tablet. She was so old that she almost had no strength left to cry. She said that the second day of the Chinese New Year was supposed to be the day to go back to her parents' home.
If Ming Yuyou were still alive, she would be taken to the Ming family to pay New Year's greetings and meet her grandparents, uncles and aunts.
But there is no more chance.
Wei An unconsciously clenched his fists, and only came back to his senses when Nanny Chen spoke again. He smiled as he listened to Nanny Chen's words about the old princess's worries and instructions, then held her hand and nodded: "Please tell my grandmother that I will go to see her on the tenth day of the New Year, and ask her to take care of herself."
Everything was fake, except the old princess’s love for her.
She felt a little melancholy and confused.
On New Year's Eve, she sat alone the entire night.
When Nanny Wang looked at her, it was as if she was looking at an elderly person. She panicked at that moment and didn't dare to sleep the whole night while guarding Wei An.
Now that Wei An had finally regained some energy, she felt a little more relaxed and prepared to ask the little girl to go to the kitchen to get a bowl of ginseng soup to refresh Wei An.
But Wei An shook his head and said to her softly, "Mammy, please call Lan He Yuqing and Wen Xiu Suping in. I have something to say."
She was seldom so serious, and Nanny Wang knew her temper. She knew something big must have happened to make her so dispirited. When she heard her say that, she immediately went out to call for help.
The corridor was guarded by two maids newly trained by Lan He. Su Ping and Wen Xiu were both skilled in martial arts, so they stood further away so they could listen to any noise outside.
Wei An lowered his eyelids and watched the smoke rising from the heater in his hands. After a long while, he said, "You all know that I am not the princess's biological son."
Wei An didn't learn anything in his previous life, but he had a high level of awareness of keeping his surroundings airtight.
She chose Lan He and Yu Qing because although they were family-born children, their parents were not opportunistic and she herself was not a slick person. She chose Su Ping and Wen Xiu because both families now depended on her for their livelihood.
There is nothing good in these people betraying her.
So she also tried her best to trust the people she employed and not to employ those she didn't trust.
Nanny Wang and everyone else nodded.
Wei An raised his head and glanced at them, then said softly, "I always said I would check my background before, but now there is no need to check, I already know it."
Everyone held their breath.
Wei An's voice was particularly clear: "I am Ming Yuyou's child, so there is a reason why Aunt Hua always says that I look like Ming's cousin."
The room was so quiet for a long time that you could hear a pin drop.
Nanny Wang and the maids looked at her in shock.
Of course they knew who Ming Yuyou was, but the most important thing was not Ming Yuyou, but King Zheng!
Ming Yuyou is the queen of King Zheng. If Wei An is Ming Yuyou’s child, then doesn’t that mean she is also the legitimate daughter of King Zheng
Then she should be a princess... How could she be a lowly child born out of wedlock as Princess Changning said
Wei An's eyes were clear, and his whole body was like a bow ready to be released, tense and taut: "I tell you this because I hope you all know the answer."
Nanny Wang shuddered, feeling goosebumps all over her body, and then she realized, "Then... Does the princess know about this?"
If you don't know, that's understandable.
But if she knew that Wei An was Ming Yuyou's daughter, and she deliberately treated a child coldly and made things difficult for him, that would be really despicable.
Wei An raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
What is this
Nanny Wang had no idea how she was treated by Princess Changning in her previous life.
In the past few days, she was confused, angry, disappointed and sad. All the scenes of being on the verge of collapse in her previous life flashed through her mind, giving her a splitting headache.
Because of this, the guess was out of her control and emerged more and more clearly in her mind.
Did Princess Changning really not let her die because she felt guilty and wanted her to live a good life
Or do you still think that she is not even worthy of dying with them
Wei An's fingers turned white from clenching their fists. When he thought of this guess, he could hardly hide the anger in his heart.
But she quickly recovered her composure and said to Lan He and the others with a smile, "Those in the courtyard who ran to the main courtyard before... report them all."
At this point, there is nothing to worry about.
