When the news of Wei Yulong's big fight with Princess Changning reached Wei An's ears, Wei An was discussing with Old Madam Wei about going to Linjiang Palace the next day.
Last time she failed to go and offended Cao An, the disaster star, and she managed to escape with great difficulty. This time, Old Lady Wei is still worried and still hopes to be more cautious. After all, this time she went to the Linjiang Palace to ask Prince Zheng for news about the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Mrs. Wei took a sip of the sugar water and recalled what Wei An had mentioned before. She asked her, "What did Shen Chen promise you again? I heard that he sent another message?"
Ever since the Huang family got into trouble, Shen Chen seemed to have disappeared. Now he suddenly reappeared. Old Mrs. Wei was a little confused. She was very nervous about Wei An and wanted to know everything.
Wei An also understood her feelings and did not hide it from her: "He went to investigate the affairs of the Pingxi Marquis family before. I heard that the Third Master Shen caused some trouble outside..."
It was normal for Shen Chen to be so concerned about the affairs of the Pingxi Marquis family. Old Madam Wei seemed to be thinking about something. After a pause, she said, "In that case, I won't ask. Just know it yourself. The Xie family gave you some people. How do you plan to use them?"
Xie Liangcheng sent a lot of people to her, all of whom were extremely useful. She had to hide them from Old Lady Wei before, but since her identity was revealed, there was no need to hide them anymore. She nodded and accepted Old Lady Wei's kindness: "I want them to follow Uncle Rui first. Uncle Rui is a reliable person. Let him take a look first."
Old Mrs. Wei nodded and glanced at Nanny Hua, who then took out a box and handed it to Wei An.
Wei An was a little confused, and then Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "There are three thousand taels of silver notes here, from Baohe Village, which can be exchanged in more than thirty branches. It's good to have so many people, but you have to be able to support them. It's a lot of money to support them, so take it for now."
Now was indeed the time to use the money, so Wei An thought about it and decided not to refuse. He took the box from Aunt Hua and whispered thank you to Old Madam Wei.
Before she knew her true identity, she could still accept Mrs. Wei's kindness with ease, but now that her identity has been exposed, she feels that Mrs. Wei's deep affection is a bit too much for her to bear and she feels a little at a loss as to what to do.
Mrs. Wei might not have been kind enough to Wei Yangqing, but she had done her utmost to treat Ming Yuyou.
Mrs. Wei's eyes were red, and she stroked her hair: "What is there to thank me for? Your mother grew up in front of me, and I am sorry for her..."
It was her son who pushed Ming Yuyou into the abyss.
She sighed, slowly pulled her into her arms and held her: "I treat you differently from my other granddaughters. It's inevitable that people are biased... It's my fault, but it's hard to change. All these things of mine will be yours in the future..."
Sometimes Wei An felt extremely pitiful. In her last life, she was like an ant in the vast ocean. No matter how hard she tried, no one reached out to help her. But sometimes she felt that she was already extremely lucky. Not everyone has a chance to start over again, let alone in this life. There was really nothing to complain about.
She let go of her guard, took Old Lady Wei's hand, slowly knelt on the ground, and put her head on Old Lady Wei's knees: "Grandma, I thank you on behalf of my mother..."
Old Madam Wei hummed, and then told her about the Linjiang Palace, saying, "I know Changning's character too well. When she stole someone's fiancé, she was not afraid of making a big fuss and letting others know. She always thinks that the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy, and that the loser is the shame. I think it will be the same this time..."
She added, "You seem to have a good relationship with them these past few days. Do you have any plans?"
As he was speaking, word came from outside that the Third Madam was here to see him, so Wei An stood up, whispered a few words into Madam Wei's ear, and then left with a smile.
The Third Lady held her and talked for a while, then reminded her: "Remember to come and play with your Fifth Sister when the time comes. She keeps talking about you."
The relationship between girls is often very subtle, but the Third Lady has always treated her well, so Wei An nodded with a smile.
When she was about to enter the yard, Yuqing was already waiting outside. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her come in, and quickly stepped forward to whisper to Wei An: "Miss, the eighth lady is here. She has been waiting for you for a while..."
Wei An hummed, walked forward without changing his expression, and ordered: "No matter what happens later, you just pretend you don't know and don't interfere."
Su Ping and Wen Xiu both have martial arts skills, so it is not easy for Wei Yulong to hurt them, so Yu Qing and Lan He have no objection.
When they entered the house, Wei Yulong stood up with red eyes and called her "Seventh Sister".
Wei An let the maid take off his cloak, raised his eyebrows and smiled at her: "Why are you here, Eighth Sister? Did mother give you any instructions?"
Wei Yulong's eyes immediately turned red. She hesitated for a while before sitting down, pursing her lips without saying a word.
Wei An had someone make tea and sat opposite Wei Yulong. He asked her cheerfully, "Is mother's place free? There may be fewer customers today. I have some fabrics here and I don't know what kind of clothes to make. I wanted to ask her. Since you are here, why don't we go together?"
Wei Yulong stared at Wei An for a long while.
Others may not know about her quarrel with Princess Changning, but how could Wei An not know
Wei Jie just came to Wei An at noon!
But Wei An never mentioned it, and didn't even ask why or try to persuade him...
And my mother...
She took two steps back, turned around and ran away in panic.
Xue Xing followed behind and ran out without delaying for a moment.
Nanny Wang frowned, fearing that Princess Changning might hear some rumors and start trouble again, so she asked Wei An, "Just let Miss Eight run away like this? Will the Princess blame us later?"
Wei An shook her head firmly. No one knew better than her how to separate a biological mother and daughter. In fact, human emotions are both strong and fragile. As long as you persevere, there is nothing you can't do.
What’s even more terrible is that Princess Changning doesn’t even know where the problem lies.
Princess Changning would think that Wei Yulong was just being childish and jealous, and that it could be solved by coaxing her. However, Wei Yulong would not understand the adults' thoughts. She would only become more resentful towards Princess Changning and think that Princess Changning was biased.
Neither of these two people understands each other's thoughts, and the misunderstanding will only grow deeper and deeper until it becomes irreconcilable.
She drank a sip of tea and asked Nanny Wang, "Is there any news from the Zhennan Palace?"
The tenth day is almost here. What are the plans? Shouldn’t Zhuang Feng express his opinion
