Princess Changning had never been close to her mother, and this time she also didn't think the old princess was really doing this for her own good. She just thought the old princess was deliberately trying to get rid of her.
This time the old princess finally stopped being her boss and just gave a little advice before letting it go.
You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. She has done everything she should do. The rest is Princess Changning’s own choice.
Princess Changning returned to Marquis Dingbei's Mansion full of anger. She was like a volcano about to erupt. The first thing she did was to find trouble with Wei An.
For so many years, she always felt that Wei An was an ant in her hand. As long as she wanted, she could crush Wei An to pieces at any time. Even though there were many setbacks before, she still felt so. But now she suddenly realized that it was no longer the time for her to do whatever she wanted.
The atmosphere in the room was as cold as ice. Princess Changning looked around at the servants in the room with a gloomy face and asked expressionlessly, "Where is Madam Ge?"
Her plan was quite secret. If it wasn't for Madam Ge leaking the information, how would Wei An have known about it
As for the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, Princess Changning still feels that it is just a matter of going with the flow.
She had long suspected that Xue Xing would turn against her because of Madam Ge's suggestion, but after all, Madam Ge had served her for so many years, and she always felt that there was some bond between them.
Now, even this bit of affection has been worn away.
But her search was in vain - the servants said that Madam Ge had caught a cold, and they were afraid that the master of the house would be harmed, so Old Madam Wei had ordered the Third Madam to be moved out.
Mrs. Wei!
Princess Changning didn't care about her daughter who was huddled in. She had just changed into light clothes and asked someone to bring her a cloak, preparing to go to He'an Courtyard.
After all this trouble, it was already dark. Wei Yulong leaned against the door, wanting to go in but hesitant. When Princess Changning was about to walk out without looking around, she timidly grabbed Princess Changning's sleeve and called her mother.
"Do you still know that I am your mother?" Princess Changning sneered and stood still. She wanted to say something harsh, but looking at her daughter's confused eyes, she couldn't say anything. Finally, she could only sigh and soften her tone and said, "Wait for me to come back."
The wind blew the lanterns under the eaves violently. Looking at the moonlight in the sky through the misty light, she could see the shape of faint green clouds. Princess Changning let out a sigh, touched her daughter's head, stopped looking at her, and quickly started walking towards He'an Courtyard.
The Third Madam and others were all in He'an Courtyard. Princess Changning rushed in and asked Old Madam Wei without saying anything, "Where is Wei An?"
The Third Lady was talking to Old Madam Wei when Princess Changning rushed in with a gust of wind. She shivered and stood up, then turned back to look at Old Madam Wei.
"I'm watching the maids playing with the flower rope in the kitchen." The Third Madam reacted and quickly smiled to smooth things over: "Fifth brother's wife, do you want to talk to An An about something?"
Although the Third Lady was smiling and still trying to smooth things over, her attitude was totally different from usual, and even seemed a little perfunctory.
Princess Changning raised her eyebrows and looked fearlessly at Old Lady Wei: "Mother, do you want me to say this in front of my third sister-in-law?"
The third lady vaguely realized that Princess Changning wanted to talk about Wei An's life experience.
The incident with Zhuang Feng had completely made her understand the real trick here. The excuse she had given birth to a child from a concubine's daughter was no longer tenable. Even if Princess Changning was dealing with Wei Yupo, who was born out of wedlock, she would not have pressed him so hard and left no room for her.
But even though she knew, some things were inappropriate to listen to. The Third Lady stood up and said goodbye to Old Lady Wei with a smile: "It's getting late and the wind is strong. I will go back first..."
She came to talk about Wei Kun.
Wei Kun's in-laws have already hinted that the marriage should be possible this year. After the third lady and the third master discussed it, they decided to just take advantage of the good weather in February to get the wedding done.
Old Madam Wei nodded softly. Wei Kun grew up under her lap and was loyal and kind. She had always looked up to him, so she told her, "It's best to do whatever you want when your first grandson gets married. Tomorrow, I'll send a letter to the wife of the Marquis Fengxian, asking her to be the perfect match for Kun'er's daughter-in-law. Go back first and show me the rules."
There are old rules for holding weddings. Now the Marquis' Mansion is still the Marquis' Mansion and has not been divided, so the old rules can be followed. The Third Lady was not worried. She smiled and agreed when she heard it. She asked someone to go in and call Wei Yuyou out. They said goodbye to the old lady and went back together.
Wei Yuyou understood why the atmosphere at home was strange today. When she got out of the corridor, she stood on tiptoe to take the sheep-horn palace lantern from Madam Kong and asked Madam San softly, "Mother, is Aunt Wu so angry because of what happened today?"
The Third Lady already knew that Princess Changning had sent someone to her room to inquire about Wei An's news. Because of this, the Third Lady became more and more annoyed with Princess Changning.
It’s okay to be willful, but not treating others as human beings is a bit too much.
Originally, today's banquet at the Prince of Linjiang's Mansion was such a great thing, and the Third Madam had planned to take the opportunity to take Wei Yuyou out to show her face, but it fell through in the end - because she heard from the eldest maid Qiu Shuang that Wei Yuyou's wet nurse, Madam Qi, was very close to the people in the fifth room.
Following the lead of Nanny Qi, they found out many more things.
It’s better not to do it with this sister-in-law.
The Third Madam did not remind Wei An in advance, because she already had a vague idea in her mind since Xue Xing's accident.
Princess Changning will not succeed, and she should be taught a lesson. Only when the old princess and the old lady know about her plan, will Princess Changning get retribution.
"Whether it is true or not, it is not your place to ask." The Third Lady squatted down to straighten her daughter's clothes. She felt the heater in her hand and found it was still hot. Then she pulled her forward and said, "Remember what your mother told you to do and get along well with your Seventh Sister. Other things are not important anymore."
Princess Changning
After what happened today, I'm afraid no one will take her seriously.
Because she has offended everyone - the Princess of Zhennan is no pushover either.
Wei Yuyou seemed to understand, but when he saw his mother stopped talking, he just nodded and stopped asking. He stopped holding the hand warmer and looked back at He'an Courtyard. In the night, the He'an Courtyard with its flashing flames looked like a giant dragon breathing out flames, waiting to devour people at any time.
"Uncle Wu has passed by." Wei Yuyou pointed to the distance and said to Madam San, "He left in a hurry."
With such a big thing happening, it would be strange if Wei Yangqing didn't go. The Third Madam glanced at her indifferently and led her back.
When he returned to the room, he sent his daughter away and just took a sip of hot tea when he found out that the third master was still in the study. He was about to ask someone to invite him when someone came to the old lady's room to invite the third master.
