"Did you really say that?" Old Madam Wei sat down in the armchair tiredly, watching Feicui leading the little maids to replace the flowers with fresh ones: "You didn't lose your temper?"
Aunt Hua deftly sprinkled a handful of lily incense into the incense burner and shook her head quickly: "No, she is very calm... She is definitely sad, I saw her eyes were red. Maybe she was a little scared after staying in Puci Temple for two days..."
Knowing that fear is a good thing is a good thing. If she were to act like her mother, rushing around recklessly and unscrupulously, thinking that there is nothing in the world that she cannot get and feeling resentful when she cannot get it, that would be a disaster.
When Mrs. Wei thought of Princess Changning, her expression grew cold and she said nothing more.
Some things just don't make sense, God always likes to play jokes on people, just like when the Ming family was at its peak, no one would have thought that the entire Ming family would be wiped out not long after. Also, Princess Changning, who was as close to Ming Yuyou as a sister, would actually fall in love with Ming Yuyou's fiancé, indirectly driving Ming Yuyou to her death.
What makes people sigh at the irony of fate is that the daughter born to Princess Changning looks so much like Ming Yuyou.
Maybe this is God's punishment for Princess Changning? The old lady couldn't help but think maliciously - making her face a face that looks so much like her old enemy day and night, maybe this is also God's retribution for her
No wonder she avoided Wei An like the plague. When Mrs. Wei thought of this, her eyes darkened. She half-closed her eyelids and looked at the tea leaves floating in the teacup, and let out a long sigh.
Aunt Hua had been with Old Madam Wei for decades and knew her very well. She guessed what she was thinking and carefully took the teacup away for her, looking at her with bright eyes: "Old Madam, Miss Seven is just a child..." She considered her words and said: "She has this kind of personality, which is actually related to the princess. The princess has never liked her, otherwise why would she be like a hedgehog, wanting to prick everyone she sees?"
Old Madam Wei's expression remained unchanged, but she did not say a word to interrupt Nanny Hua.
Aunt Hua knew that Old Lady Wei had heard it, so she half-knelt down, supported Old Lady Wei's knees, and looked at her earnestly: "You also think she is... ... Why not keep her by your side?"
Old Madam Wei had a very hard life. After the death of the Marquis and the Crown Prince, the old lady lived like a walking corpse. If it weren't for the fact that she was raising Wei Yumin and Wei Yumei, she still seemed somewhat alive and would have been like a living dead.
After Wei Yumin and Wei Yumei got married, Mrs. Wei's life became even more boring. Aunt Hua sometimes felt sad for Mrs. Wei when she saw this. She wished she could raise another child... that would help her relieve her loneliness in the future.
"You want me to raise her child?" Old Madam Wei looked at Aunt Hua as if she found it funny. "Let me raise her child for her? She gave birth to a child but didn't teach it, gave birth to a child but didn't raise it. She herself is not a human being. You want me to clean up this mess for her?"
Aunt Hua was not frightened by her words. She walked behind her and massaged her shoulders with a moderate force, not too fast or too slow. "So what? The princess wants to pretend she doesn't exist, so don't treat her as the princess's child. At worst... if we are mean, the princess will probably regret it one day."
Old Mrs. Wei remained silent. As the saying goes, "A dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. How can we expect a bad bamboo to produce good bamboo shoots?"
She smiled and told Aunt Hua: "Go and see what she is doing, and then go and see Lan He Yuqing."
When Aunt Hua arrived at Wei An's yard, Wei An was talking to someone. Although she was in her own residence, she was still sitting very straight, like a bamboo pole, which was pleasing to the eye.
Through the window, one could see Nanny Li's smiling face. She hesitated for a moment, stopped and waved at Lan He, but did not go closer to listen. Instead, she stood under the ginkgo tree and looked at Wei An's expression.
Wei An looked at the amiable Li Ma, whose smile remained unchanged, but not in his eyes. He paused, looking at the peacock that had already taken shape under his pen, and asked indifferently, "Let Qiu Yun go? Why? She served us well."
Qiu Yun clasped her hands together and lowered her head, not daring to speak. However, she couldn't help but look at Wei An out of the corner of her eye. She felt that although Wei An was smiling, he clearly knew everything.
This is really weird. It was just a trip to Puci Temple. Why was she so scared of Miss Seven that she became like this
Nanny Li explained Wei An's doubts very naturally: "She is not a natural child of our family. Her parents wrote a document of surrender and sold her here. Now her parents want to redeem her... You know, families like ours are lenient to servants. Since she came to redeem herself, there is no reason not to let her go. Besides, she is not very dedicated in her work. I happened to be away from your work at Puci Temple. After I came back, I always felt scared - these maids have no regard for their master at all, and they are so ungrateful... Anyway, you have asked the old lady for Lan He and Yu Qing. I think they are very good. Those who come out of the old lady's room are different. Let's find two suitable ones to bring up..."
After saying so much, the final conclusion is that Qiuyun and Dongxue cannot be kept.
Wei An put down the pen in his hand and said "oh".
You just went out with Qiuyun secretly last night, and now you want to let Qiuyun out today
She remembered that in her previous life, Qiu Yun had no family members to redeem her. It was only after she went to Yuzhang and did something wrong that she was driven away by Princess Changning.
What secrets were there that she couldn't know, so Nanny Li was so impatient to send someone away? She glanced at Qiu Yun from the side and asked her with a smile, "Is there anyone coming home?"
Qiu Yun responded with fear and trepidation, her words stuttering, fearing that Wei An would interrogate her.
Wei An did not ask anything. After thinking for a while, he called Nanny Wang: "Someone from Qiuyun's family came to redeem her, and Nanny Li said that she would let her go. I think so too. There is no reason for someone to be unable to reunite with her family. Nanny, please go and get fifty taels of silver..." He looked at Qiuyun in disbelief and smiled shyly: "This is how much cash I have on hand. You and Dongxue will each get fifty taels. Don't think it's too little. You have served me for so many years. I have a bad temper and am not a good master. Don't hate me... Live a good life after you get out..."
Qiu Yun was Wei An's eldest maid. She knew, of course, that one hundred taels of silver was all Wei An had. She was so shocked that she could hardly speak, and her face felt hot and uncomfortable - the young lady turned out to be such a good lady!
