King Zheng was her father, and the person her mother wanted to protect until her death. She thought that she had to do something for her parents.
Shen Chen nodded in agreement and watched her go out. Then he stood up and glanced out coldly through the window. The street was crowded with people, among whom there were many complicated looks.
Wei An was led downstairs by the maid. As soon as he entered the door, he was met with a pair of hostile eyes.
Shen Qiuhua had already chosen the material and measured the size. She stood not far from Wei An and looked at her with a smile on her face: "Miss Wei Qi, are you awake? That's really rare. I thought you were going to sleep forever."
Her words were not very polite, so Wei An pretended not to hear her and prepared to follow her inside.
However, Shen Qiuhua grabbed Wei An's hand.
She is the youngest daughter of Marquis Pingxi and has been spoiled since childhood. Although her father no longer holds real power, her maternal grandfather's family is very powerful, as they are Marquis Rongchang.
Her maternal grandparents had always treated her very well, and she often showed up in front of Concubine Feng.
Because of this, she developed a spoiled temperament.
Even though her maternal grandparents suffered a disaster a while ago and her father recently lost his job, she still did not suffer much. On the contrary, she has been going to the palace more frequently recently.
The more Concubine Feng liked her, the more arrogant she became.
She came to Jinxiufang today because her mother had called her there on short notice. Her mother also specifically told her to meet the Seventh Miss of the Wei Family and to get along well with her.
Live in harmony
With the notorious Wei An
Shen Qiuhua thought that Wei An was not worthy, but she finally listened to her mother and prepared to greet the seventh daughter of the Wei family. However, Wei Qi acted arrogantly and didn't even show up.
This really hit her hard.
She stared at Wei An, her eyes cold and full of obvious sarcasm: "Wei An, I heard from others that you have changed for the better. But why do I see that you still don't know how to behave and are like a wild girl without any education?"
The most vicious insult people use nowadays is to say that a person is uneducated.
This is especially true for ladies from wealthy families.
Yuqing couldn't bear it any longer and stood in front of Wei An: "Miss Shen, please respect yourself..."
Shen Qiuhua frowned and sneered: "Why, so your family's tutor is like this, a maid dares to show off in front of the master?"
Shen Qiuhua's maid also knew her master's preferences, and couldn't help but laughed with her hands covering her mouth: "That's right, we don't have such rules in the Shen family. How can a maid interrupt the master's words?"
Wei An brushed away Shen Qiuhua's hand indifferently, without even looking at the girl, and just looked at Shen Qiuhua: "It seems that this is not only the rule in my Wei family, but doesn't your Shen family also have the rule of letting girls interrupt? Why laugh at someone who is only fifty steps away, isn't that what Miss Shen said? As for not knowing etiquette, I don't know where I was impolite. If you came to see me just now, I didn't see you..."
Wei An's lips curved up: "How can that be considered impolite? It seems that you and I don't have any friendship, let alone feelings. You didn't send me a card in advance. It's normal that I can't see you while I'm resting, isn't it?"
Shen Qiuhua laughed in disgust: "You have really improved. No wonder people say you have changed. It turns out you have indeed changed. I hope you can stay so arrogant for a long time."
Her words were full of meaning, and she walked away after she finished speaking.
Yuqing could no longer bear it and was extremely angry: "Who is this person who has no manners..."
"It's okay." Wei An didn't take it to heart at all: "It's just a child. The quarrel between children is not worth taking to heart."
She picked out the fabric, measured her measurements, and decided on the time for the wedding before boarding the magnificent carriage back to the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion.
Old Madam Wei had been waiting for her for a long time, and even the Third Madam was waiting in He'an Courtyard.
As soon as she finished her greetings, the Third Lady hurriedly called her up and asked with a smile, "Have you picked out your clothes? In a few days we will go to Taohuawu where Madam Chen has an appointment. It will be just right for you to wear them then."
The Third Madam was very happy. Wei An knew that she wanted to show it to Wei Yuyou when she went to meet Madam Chen, so he smiled and agreed: "It's settled. It's agreed that you can pick it up in a few days. You should get it before the appointment."
Old Madam Wei also nodded: "A young girl should dress brightly."
After chatting for a while, the third lady left the room, and then Mrs. Wei asked her, "Is everything going well?"
"It's going pretty smoothly." Wei An sat down in front of her. "There are just some details that need to be verified, but it will be done soon."
She paused, thought for a moment, and then told Old Lady Wei the news that Shen Chen had told her: "Old Lady, there is one more thing I want to tell you. The little town country in Linjiang Palace said that his people have made some gains in Yunnan..."
She told Shen Chen what he said, and seeing that Old Lady Wei was excited, she said, "In this way, we actually have two clues. One is Qiu Chuying, and the other is the person Shen Chen found."
Only now did Mrs. Wei feel a little soreness in her teeth, probably because she had been clenching her teeth for too long. She rubbed her chin with her hand before leaning back on the pillow.
After waiting for so many years for something to happen, the result was about to come, but Mrs. Wei didn't know how to express her emotions.
She closed her eyes for a long time before opening them again and smiled quietly: "Then wait a little longer."
What Shen Chen said was right. Having endured for so long, I wouldn't mind enduring it a little longer.
She quickly pulled herself out of her emotions and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with regarding what you want to investigate?"
"Indeed." Wei An was no longer polite to her: "Uncle Rui has returned, right? I have something I want him to do, the sooner the better."
Naturally, Mrs. Wei agreed. When Wei An asked Manager Lin to talk to Wei Rui, Wei Rui understood and asked Madam Hua to find Manager Lin and ask her to take Manager Lin to find Wei Rui.
After finishing talking about this matter, Old Lady Wei said, "By the way, there is an imperial decree from the palace, asking me to bring you with me when I go to the palace to pay my respects on the first day of next month."
She repeated it deliberately: "I have reminded you to take only you with you."
In the palace.
Queen Fang, or Concubine Feng
No matter which one of them is, I'm afraid that if they let her into the palace now, it wouldn't be just to see her and say a few words to her.
Old Madam Wei said solemnly, "I received the news, so I sent someone to go quietly to the place where I was in contact with King Zheng to ask if he had any news... But there was no one there."
