Wei An had originally planned to tell Old Madam Wei about this, but when he heard what Old Madam Wei said, he lowered his head and said, "The emperor has issued a secret decree. He has gone to Yangzhou to investigate the incident with the tribute."
Went to Yangzhou
At this time?! Old Madam Wei and Wei An thought of the same thing and shook their heads with some concern: "I'm afraid it's not just to check the tribute... If it's for this, why does Prince Zheng have to go?"
Wei An also nodded: "The small town country also said that the prince was attacked by bandits when he left Hebei."
How could such a coincidence happen? Since King Zheng went there on a secret mission, the itinerary was naturally kept secret. How could he be so easily attacked by bandits
There is no such coincidence in the world.
I was basically being plotted against. Even going to Yangzhou was probably part of someone else's plan.
Old Madam Wei waited for a while before telling Wei An, "Besides, it seems that something has happened to the people that Prince Zheng left in the capital. Even if he went there under a secret order and could not reveal his whereabouts, there is no reason for him not to tell you. Even if he himself could not tell you, he would definitely let his confidant tell you, but we have not received any news at all."
This is not a simple matter.
Old Madam Wei coughed and felt a tightness in her chest: "No... Maybe someone has sneaked into his company!"
Wei An couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body and stood up suddenly: "I'm going to write a letter. Shen Chen promised me that he would help me send the letter to him..."
Old Mrs. Wei agreed, told her to go back quickly, and asked someone to follow her with an umbrella.
But as soon as Wei Cai returned to the cross courtyard, he ran into Wei Yulong.
She seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Her skirt was wet and still dripping. When she saw Wei An, she smiled and called her, "Seventh Sister."
Wei An paused, turned his head to look at her, and sighed: "It's windy and rainy, be careful not to catch a cold. Go back and change your clothes first. I have something else to do... I'll come to see you later."
"Yesterday we postponed it to tomorrow, and tomorrow is still tomorrow." Wei Yulong refused to be persuaded by Wei An's words like before. She stood there and sneered at Wei An's back: "Seventh sister, are you going to come to me later, or are you going to avoid me for the rest of your life?"
Her tone was very impolite. She bit her pale lips, ignoring the fact that her skirt was still dripping with water, and even more so the reminder from the maid next to her, she asked her coldly, "Sister Seven, are you feeling guilty?"
It was already late. If the letter could not be delivered before the evening, it might be delayed for another day. Wei An could not help but feel annoyed. He turned around and looked at Wei Yulong coldly: "I don't know why I have to avoid you. Now I really have something to do. If you really have something to do and have to wait for me, then please wait."
Nanny Wang met her at the corridor, glanced back at Wei Yulong, and winked at Su Ping.
Su Ping smiled and went over to greet her: "Look, Miss Eight, our girl is really busy. Why don't you follow me in and change your clothes? You're all wet and cold."
Wei Yulong raised her chin, tears already welling up in her eyes, the circles around her eyes were red. After a while, she sniffed and hummed, then followed Su Ping into Wei An's room.
The layout of this place was different from the last time she came. All the valuable toys had been put away, and there were no glittering gold ornaments to be seen. However, the crystal zodiac animals, sandalwood ornaments, and exquisite walnut sculptures displayed in the treasure chest were all perfect and clearly priceless treasures.
Not to mention the thin, cicada-wing silk curtain that was faintly visible through the treasure box and hung on Wei An's exquisite moon-shaped bed.
Wei Yulong felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart. Su Ping led her to sit on a gooseneck chair. She lowered her head and played with her handkerchief.
After waiting for about half an hour and even having two cups of tea served, she began to become impatient and let out a muffled groan from her throat after a while.
What important matter could have been delayed for so long
I'm afraid that the important thing is fake, and hiding from her is the real thing.
Thinking of this, all the words she had prepared for confrontation disappeared, and she stood up abruptly and walked out.
Su Ping hurriedly chased after her: "Ms. Eighth, our girl may have some matters to deal with..."
Wei Yulong walked out of the door with his head down, turning a deaf ear to Su Ping's words. Only when he returned to his room did he feel cold. He didn't know if it was because of anger or cold, but he had already started to shiver.
The maids who served her were all new. They were busy helping her change her clothes. They asked her anxiously, "Didn't you say you were going to look for Miss Seven? How did you come back in such a mess..."
She was busy asking someone to go to the kitchen to boil ginger soup to dispel her cold.
Wei Yulong himself didn't feel anything. With a cold face, he asked people to ask whether Master Wei Wu had returned. When he heard that he had already entered the study, he led people to find Wei Yangqing.
She had many questions in her mind. She had been blinded by the sudden indifference before, but after her mother was sent away and the marriage was cancelled, she seemed to gradually sort out some things.
If her mother was really good to Wei An, then why did her mother get sick and be sent away
What's wrong
I've only heard that concubines and servants would be moved away to recuperate, but I've never heard that the master would do the same.
She finally learned her lesson and took the opportunity to ask for information from the people who had served her mother, Princess Changning. However, she found out that none of the people who had served her mother were still alive.
Although she is not very smart, she is not stupid either.
How could this be seen as a way to let people recuperate? It was clearly a way to eliminate dissidents.
She thought about it for a while, and after asking Zhuang Feng indirectly, she finally got some information. Originally, she thought that she should ask Wei An why he treated Princess Changning like that.
But today's experience finally made her understand completely that there was no need to ask anymore.
She wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. She stood up and wiped her tears. Suddenly, she missed Princess Changning very much. She missed her mother very much and naturally went to her mother's room.
Everyone had left long ago, and only a few things were left. They were all locked in the warehouse. She sat in the empty and somewhat scary room for a while, then stood up and touched the table next to her.
There is also a statue of Guanyin on the table, which was obtained by Princess Changning from Puji Temple before, saying that it is for the protection of Wei'an.
Wei Yulong sat with a frown on his face for a while, then his eyes brightened.
Why would Princess Changning really ask for a statue of a deity for Wei An
And if not, why did my mother go to Puji Temple to ask for this Guanyin? If it wasn't for Wei Anhao's sake, then why
Recalling that Princess Changning sometimes let slip that Wei An was a bastard...
She held the statue of Guanyin and it took her a long time to stand up.
