What I didn't have time to ask, I simply didn't dare to ask,
Old Madam Wei knew what was going on. With Princess Changning's temper, who would she discuss with and whose feelings would she care about? She just didn't know what had happened this time that made her have such a ridiculous idea, and even moved the people around her daughter.
Qingyu had already returned. Seeing this, he stepped forward and whispered to the old lady, "They sent someone outside. I heard that they were all going to be sold. They were not exiled to the farm. I don't know exactly what happened. I just vaguely know that it seems to be related to Miss Seven..."
She sighed and continued, "Besides, Xue Xing is dead... I heard that she stole the princess's precious jewelry and tried to escape..."
The third lady had no idea this was happening and screamed in shock.
Our dynasty has always treated servants kindly. Most of the servants wrote documents to surrender instead of selling themselves. Even if there were people who sold themselves, the children of families who had been slaves for generations could not be beaten or killed at will.
But Princess Changning killed him just because she said so.
The Third Lady's disgust towards Princess Changning increased, and she also felt a little scared - what on earth was wrong with Changning? She didn't care about anything during the New Year and even saw blood. It was really unlucky.
Old Mrs. Wei also frowned: "What a joke!"
What do you mean by stealing precious jewelry? Changning's room was like an iron barrel, even a mosquito couldn't fly in. The people she brought were all her own, all domestic children trained in the palace. How could she be so careless? Would a slave want to escape
I am really becoming more and more out of control.
Old Madam Wei narrowed her eyes and asked the Third Madam to intercept those who were being dismissed.
She didn't want to pay any attention to what Princess Changning did, but at this moment, it was particularly unbearable to see her endlessly playing with her temper and scheming.
The Third Lady knew Mrs. Wei very well and knew that this was a sign of extreme anger. She quickly stood up and agreed, then turned around to do her work.
After walking for a while, there were fewer people around. Madam Kong said happily, "It seems that the old lady has not changed her opinion of the princess just because she treats Miss Seven better..."
The third lady also seemed to be thinking about something.
Logically speaking, the old lady should have calmed down a little. After all, she was not as cold and distant towards Wei Yangqing as before. It was precisely because of this that the Third Lady deliberately went to the old lady to mention the large-scale replacement of people in Princess Changning's room.
This attempt did yield some results. Old Madam Wei was still as cold to Princess Changning as before, and Princess Changning...it seemed like she hadn't really thought it through and was not willing to be nice to Wei An.
She was confused, and after discussing with the third master, they unanimously decided to do as Old Lady Wei said.
After all, the one who is in charge of this mansion now is still Old Madam Wei. Even if Wei Yangqing gets promoted in the future... the mistress's words may not be effective.
Old Mrs. Wei had already called Wei Yangqing over.
Wei Yangqing had just returned from a social event, his face flushed, but he still had his senses. He greeted Old Madam Wei and sat down respectfully beside her.
Old Madam Wei knew that he was going to have dinner with Censor Chen and the others, so she asked him first, "What did they say over there?"
"It's settled." Wei Yangqing blushed to the roots of his neck, and stood up and bowed to Old Madam Wei: "Someone in the court submitted a memorial, implicating the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Qiu Chuying, for accepting bribes and condoning the rampant private salt dealers. The emperor was furious and ordered the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to come to Beijing to defend himself."
This was discovered after Wei Rui traveled thousands of miles to Guangdong and worked closely with Shen Chen and Lin Sanshao's people.
Selling illegal salt is a serious crime.
But when it comes to Qiu Chuying, it seems just right - after all, he is a high-ranking official, and he is bold enough. He is bound to be corrupt, and if someone reports him, it will not arouse too much suspicion from the King of Chu.
Old Madam Wei felt a little relieved. The anger that Princess Changning had aroused just now also dissipated a little. Her face was no longer gloomy. She hummed and asked him again: "What does the King of Chu have to say? Is there anything wrong with the person who made the report?"
"Don't worry." Wei Yangqing nodded: "My son knows that the person was found by Censor Chen. They are not from the same hometown nor from the same department. The King of Chu and his men can't suspect us."
It would be good if we could sever the connection.
Old Madam Wei pursed her lips. Having finished her business, she started talking about her personal matters: "Today your wife made a big fuss in the mansion, saying that she wanted to replace all the people around Xiao Ba. Do you know the reason behind this?"
Wei Yangqing really didn't know. He couldn't help but feel annoyed when he heard that Princess Changning had made trouble again. When he heard that she had even killed someone, and the person she killed was Xue Xing, he couldn't help but stand up and said, "Is she crazy?!"
Xue Xing is the granddaughter of Madam Ge. Madam Ge's son is gone, and Xue Xing is the only bloodline left. She is usually treated like an eyeball. In order to win over Madam Ge, Chang Ning promoted Xue Xing to be the eldest maid beside Wei Yulong.
Just kill him now
Is Changning really going crazy
Before he could react, Mrs. Wei spoke in a cold voice: "It seems that you don't know either."
Seeing Wei Yangqing's face flushed, she didn't say anything more, but just said: "Now is not the time for her to make trouble. You have to take care of your own affairs in your room, otherwise it will be too late if something goes wrong."
Old Mrs. Wei also felt a little regretful.
If she had not given up on it back then, the Fifth House wouldn't be in the mess it is now.
But it's too late to intervene now. After all, Changning is the mistress of the fifth room and has become a powerful figure over the years.
The most important thing is that she knows Wei An’s background. This is the most important thing.
If you piss her off, given her personality, she'll do something that will lead to a catastrophe...
Wei Yangqing was so ashamed that he kept nodding his head. After replying to Old Lady Wei's words, he immediately rushed back to the main courtyard of the fifth room.
The yard was quiet, as if it had been deserted for a long time. He couldn't help frowning as he walked. When he passed the path and entered the corridor, he saw the servants constantly going in and out without making any sound. He became even angrier and walked in. He happened to see Madam Ge, who was supported by two maids and was trembling as she came out.
He couldn't help but stop.
It was obvious that Madam Ge had completely lost all her strength, and her face was filled with despair. Only when she saw Wei Yangqing did she kneel down with a plop.
She knelt down and had nothing else to say. She just begged for mercy over and over again, asking Wei Yangqing to spare her life.
This is a bit confusing.
Wei Yangqing sighed, and then he heard Madam Ge crying and shouting "retribution", saying that this was her retribution.
She let her hair down, cried at the top of her lungs, and kept beating her chest. In the end, she didn't even have the strength to cry anymore.
