After three or four days, there was no news from the main courtyard of the Fifth House. Nanny Wang was worried, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of Wei An, for fear of making him unhappy. She said to Lan He and Yu Qing in private: "What if the Eighth Miss doesn't do what you expect? What should we do then?"
Wei An's instigation did have some effect. At least Zhuang Feng accepted Wei An's statement smoothly. On the surface, he stabilized Princess Changning and Princess Zhennan, and they did not come over for the past few days.
It was not that stable. Princess Zhennan gathered her cloak, but still couldn't help yawning. She took the tea handed to her by the maid next to her, looked at Zhuang Feng with a nasal voice and frowned: "It would be great if it can be successful, but if it can't be successful, I'm afraid that this marriage will not be successful, but will become an enemy..."
The last time Zhuang Feng came back from the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, he changed from being furious to being calm and composed. He said that he had decided not to marry Wei An, but Wei Yulong.
Princess Zhennan was shocked and furious at first, but after she calmed down she figured out the interests involved.
The reason why he wanted to marry Wei An in the first place was because he had no other options. Zhuang Feng was disabled and had no other way out. If he could marry Wei An, he would be able to have a good life with the old princess no matter what.
Even a little bit of money that leaked out through the old princess' fingers was enough for the younger generations to live a very comfortable life.
But if it was Wei Yulong...
That would naturally be better.
After all, Wei An was just a concubine's daughter, she had nothing, and was not favored by Princess Changning. He wanted to marry her just to calm down.
But Wei Yulong is different, she is the life of Princess Changning.
After Zhuang Feng lost two fingers, he became very irritable, but when facing his mother, Princess Zhennan, he was able to restrain his anger - perhaps it was because after suffering, he knew how to hold on to the hearts of everyone who still had good intentions towards him.
He smiled, and even poured a cup of tea for Princess Zhennan to warm her hands. He shook his head and said, "We'll know soon whether it works or not. It should work. Although Wei An is annoying, he's not a fool."
Princess Zhennan was also thoughtful.
She was originally so angry at what Princess Changning said that she lost her mind. When she came back and saw her son who was completely different from before, she wanted to kill Wei An.
Although she repeatedly confessed to the old princess and her husband before coming back, and said that she would never make things difficult for Wei An again.
But a mother's heart can easily be moved by her own children.
Just like after hearing Zhuang Feng's plan, she changed her mind from wanting to kill Wei An to being inclined to cooperate with Wei An. People are always realistic.
She hummed softly, looking at her son's fingers with deep eyes, and it was difficult to hide the sadness and hatred in her heart.
Princess Changning said that Zhuang Feng fell into this situation because of Wei An, and she really thought it was because of Wei An at first.
But Wei An told Zhuang Feng that the reason why Zhuang Feng made mistakes was because Princess Changning asked Madam Ge to plot...
She coughed, and with a sore throat, she asked Aunt Jin beside her, "Has anyone arrived?"
If someone really instigated it, there would always be clues.
She wanted to do it for the good of her child, but she also didn't want to be deceived.
Whoever hurt her child should pay the price.
Zhuang Feng was drinking tea quietly beside him. Since he had stayed in Jizhou for some time, he had become very patient.
Soon, Nanny Jin brought back the nanny next to Li Shengnan.
Li Shengnan was still chanting sutras in Puci Temple. Princess Zhennan was resentful of Li Shengnan for seducing her son, so she did not bring her back after she returned and still left her in Puci Temple to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures.
Mammy knelt down tremblingly, kowtowed on the thick carpet, and told Mammy Ge's plan with reason and evidence. She also said that the old princess was very angry because of this matter.
It turned out that the old princess also knew that it was her daughter who did it, but her daughter was fine and still served as a princess. However, Zhuang Feng lost his position as crown prince and broke his finger.
Princess Zhennan was so thin that her cheekbones were protruding and her cheeks were sunken. Her face, which was once well-maintained, was now covered with wrinkles, adding a bit of harshness.
She covered her lips and coughed muffledly, then hummed and asked someone to take the nanny away.
Then he looked directly at Nanny Jin and ordered her: "Go to the Marquis' Mansion..."
Since Wei An wanted to plot against Wei Yulong, she would help him.
Princess Changning is really going too far... She uses both her and her son as guns, and even dreams of using the gun until it breaks.
She was left with a lot of illnesses. Princess Changning had a good idea. She wanted to kill two birds with one stone? There was no such good thing in the world.
Zhuang Feng raised his eyebrows and looked at Nanny Jin holding out a gift list. He couldn't help but be a little surprised: "It's so heavy?"
This gift list seems a bit too heavy.
Princess Zhennan didn't care. She didn't even glance at the list. She asked Nanny Jin to go to the storehouse to get the things out. She smiled to Zhuang Feng, "First, let Changning know that you listen to her and really want to marry Wei An. Second... Didn't Wei An say that he wanted Wei Yulong to think too much? I sent such a generous gift, and Changning gave it all to Wei An. Wouldn't Wei Yulong be even more upset?"
Princess Zhennan was right. Wei Yulong had a quarrel with Princess Changning for the first time because of this matter.
Of course Wei Yulong couldn't and was too embarrassed to say it directly, so she said that it was because Princess Changning was partial to her and she felt that Princess Changning treated her badly and treated Wei An better, so she found Zhuang Feng for Wei An to be her husband and wanted to marry Zhuang Feng to Wei An.
But she could find other places to feel unhappy.
She had never been so angry before. All the anger that had been pent up in her heart for days was vented out at once, even the matter of the glass screen was brought up.
Princess Changning didn't know why her daughter suddenly had so much resentment in her heart. She didn't seem like her always well-behaved and lovely daughter, but more like an enemy.
Nanny Ge was so shocked that she stood there in a daze, cautiously not knowing which one to persuade.
Wei Yulong is the lifeblood of Princess Changning, she dare not offend him.
Wei Yulong cried bitterly and complained about Princess Changning's faults.
Princess Changning was totally confused by the scolding. She didn't realize that her daughter felt her engagement had been taken away. She only heard her daughter accusing her of being partial. She felt a headache and an indescribable loss, and sat there for a long time without reacting.
She had just returned from Wei Yangqing's study. She had just had a big fight with Wei Yangqing over Wei An's marriage. She was exhausted, but she didn't expect that when she came back, not only her son, but even her daughter came to cause trouble for her.
I couldn't help feeling discouraged.
How come she has given so much to this family, but in the end, she is neither a good person nor a good person
