Mrs. Wei felt very upset about letting Qiu Chuying go, and was depressed for several days.
She was a very open-minded person, but no matter how open-minded she was, she couldn't remain calm after losing an opportunity that was right in front of her.
Therefore, even when Madam Chen sent her a letter asking for a meeting, she was too lazy to muster the energy and rejected Madam Chen several times.
The Third Madam took out the invitation and smiled helplessly at the Second Madam: "Since the old lady said so, there is no other way. Sister-in-law, please accompany Madam Chen for a cup of tea and let her go."
The Second Madam also sighed: "It can only be like this. Mother seems to be a little angry with Madam Chen?"
"The Fang family is involved in a lot of lawsuits themselves." The third lady said with a double meaning: "They take care of their own family affairs, and we can't interfere. Let's wait until they have sorted out their own affairs before we come."
Every time the Fang family talked about cooperation or alliance, something almost always went wrong. This time, such a big mistake was made, which was really intolerable. It was inevitable that Mrs. Wei would be angry.
Because of the Fang family's mistake, the plan that was finally carried out ended before it even began.
How could Mrs. Wei and Wei An swallow this
Not to mention them, even the third master was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.
At this point, the Second Madam had no choice but to tell Madam Chen the truth. She smiled helplessly at the end: "Your family..."
Mrs. Chen frowned.
In fact, the Fang family is not really a family that follows the right path. The world looks down on the Fang family for relying on nepotism to revive, and she herself thinks the same way.
When she wanted to marry Censor Chen, her family did not agree. At that time, Censor Chen was not only not in a high position of power, he was not even a juren - the Chen family had long since fallen into decline.
But she refused to cancel the engagement, even threatening to commit suicide and saying she would shave her head and become a nun.
Later, Censor Chen finally got his reward after all his hard work. He passed the imperial examination and was named on the list of successful candidates. He was then sent to inspect other places. But something happened on the way and everyone said that Censor Chen was dead.
The old lady of the Fang family forced her to surrender and insisted on canceling the engagement.
She still refused.
She felt that this backbone was the most important thing to her, and she still believes so now.
Therefore, she was extremely angry because her family kept going back on their word.
She sighed and said, "This matter..." She sighed, "I came here to tell the old lady about this matter. It's not our family's..."
But now Mrs. Wei refused to see her.
Censor Chen is now caught in a dilemma and has a very hard life. She sees it and feels pain in her heart.
Mrs. Chen had a headache and couldn't help but hold the second wife's hand: "Sister, please help me explain it again..."
The Second Madam couldn't help but shake her head: "If we can talk about our relationship, do I have to wait for you to speak? But now, our old lady means that your family should deal with the family affairs first, and then come."
Housework
Mrs. Chen didn't quite understand. She went home and told Mr. Chen what had happened. She was very distressed: "What else can we do? It was... Ah Rong's people who instigated him to leak the news. But the old lady is already very anxious about Ah Rong's matter. She wants to do something to Ah Rong again. How can we do it?"
The Fang family didn't really want to cooperate with the Wei family in the first place, so a fool like Fang Zhengrong knew about the cooperation between his family and the Wei family and leaked it out. If they want to do something to Fang Zhengrong now, wouldn't that be the end of Old Mrs. Fang's life
How could the Fang family and Queen Fang surrender
Censor Chen snorted with a straight face.
The Fang family simply has no idea of their own worth! They actually dared to sell out their allies in private-----How could Fang Zhengrong have the brains to do that? It was clearly a deliberate signal from the Fang family's superiors!
He stood up, asked his wife to stay at home, and decided to go to Fang's house.
Mrs. Chen's eyes widened. She knew her husband's temper. He was a very old-fashioned man. What he said was what it meant. He was very strict. The Fang family's behavior this time undoubtedly made him very angry. However, in the current situation, the Fang family did put Censor Chen in an unjust position. There was nothing to say.
She had no choice but to tell Censor Chen: "No matter what, talk things over nicely and don't get into a fight."
Lord Chen agreed, asked his servants to deliver the message first, and then he arrived at the door in the evening.
The atmosphere in the Fang family was not very good. Something had happened to Fang Zhengrong, and Old Madam Fang was extremely unhappy. Even Queen Fang was helpless, and Old Madam Fang became sick due to anxiety.
Mr. Fang was a filial son. He stayed by Mrs. Fang's bedside and served her for a long time. When he heard that his brother-in-law had come, he finally let his wife serve him and moved to the study.
Censor Chen did not enter the inner house. He did not look happy when he saw his brother-in-law. He just sat down with a cold face and asked softly: "Uncle, I came here this time to talk to you about Arong..."
He paused and exhaled: "When I decided to cooperate with the Wei family, you also nodded."
It was even Master Fang who agreed to it on his own initiative.
Master Fang shook his head: "This matter... is a long story..."
His face was full of embarrassment, so Censor Chen raised his eyebrows: "Do you mean that the Empress...means?"
Queen Fang made a stupid move last time because of Concubine Feng's incident. Why doesn't she learn her lesson now?!
Censor Chen found it a little unbelievable and didn't understand why Queen Fang did this.
Master Fang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's right, it has come to this point, I don't have the face to say anything anymore. It's all because of the Feng family, the troublemaker. The funny thing is that the queen didn't expect that the Feng family would bite someone in the back again..."
Therefore, Fang Zhengrong is now also in the Jinyi Prison.
"You may not know that it wasn't the Feng family that bit someone in the back." Censor Chen coughed, feeling very heavy: "It was the Wei family who did this."
Master Fang was a little surprised.
"This series of events was so swift and resolute that people didn't even have a chance to breathe, and the Empress hated the Feng family." Censor Chen explained to the still bewildered Master Fang: "Arong was also imprisoned. This matter is obviously not going to end peacefully. No matter how serious it is, the Fang family will be in trouble. At least on the surface, they will definitely have a hard time. Can't you see that?!"
But, the Wei family actually has this ability? !
Master Fang's hair stood on end, and he muttered to himself after a while: "This... can't be that serious, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the study was knocked. The Fang family's chief steward called out "Master" from outside. He waited until Master Fang called him in before entering the room. He stood aside with his head bowed respectfully, waiting for a reply.
Censor Chen was not an outsider, so Master Fang did not hesitate to let the butler speak frankly.
The butler swallowed his saliva, looked at the master and Chen Yushi, lowered his head and said: "Something happened to the Wei family... One of the medicine shops under the Wei family, the one that has attracted a lot of attention, is said to have killed someone, and the shopkeeper even lent money for the master. This has alarmed the Jinyiwei, and now the Jinyiwei has come to the door!"
