Qiu Chuying suddenly opened her mouth and mentioned the Ming family and the Wei family, which was really beyond the old princess's expectation. When Princess Zhennan came in with a really pale face, she finally couldn't help but slumped in the chair, looking extremely haggard.
Something really happened.
But where did Qiu Chuying find the secret letter? He was the only one who had seen this thing. Could he be convicted based on his words
No, neither he nor the King of Chu behind him are such people. There must be some other evidence...
The old princess was a little uneasy and didn't pay much attention to Wei Yulong. She hurriedly asked Princess Zhennan to prepare to go down the mountain quickly.
It took the Princess of Zhennan a long time to react. She hummed and hurried out, and asked people to find Wei Yulong quickly.
As for whether she would be impolite in front of the eldest daughter of the Qinghe Earl's Mansion, she no longer cared about it.
If something happened in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, the Zhennan Prince Mansion, as a relative, would inevitably be affected. She was really afraid that something would happen.
The sandalwood in the room made her drowsy. She finally couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to close her eyes, but the door of the Zen room suddenly made a loud bang, which frightened her so much that she immediately raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry.
But when the door opened, Wei Yulong rushed to her and called her aunt loudly.
She was already a little uneasy, and when she heard the shout, she thought something had happened, and her face immediately changed: "Ah Long, what's wrong with you? What's the matter that makes you so anxious?"
Wei Yulong tightly grasped her hands and said anxiously, "Aunt... I just heard from Sister Lin that the Princess of Chu came here on a tip. I heard that she knew that the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion had an unidentified eternal lamp here, and she also said that she knew why my mother was driven out of the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion..."
Princess Zhennan was immediately struck by lightning. She had learned her lesson. Even though she knew that Princess Changning hated Wei An and had some secrets, she still didn't dare to ask, for fear of angering the old princess and being sent to meditation and prayer again.
But she also has a bottom line. It is right for the Prince of Zhennan to be grateful to the palace, and the old princess has indeed been very kind to them. But if one day, so many lives in the palace are lost because of her daughter...
She frowned and managed to calm down, shook her head and forced a smile: "What do you mean? What does your mother's going out have to do with this? As for the longevity tablets and the eternal lamps, every year someone sets them up for those homeless souls in order to do good deeds. This doesn't mean anything. ..."
Wei Yulong looked at her suspiciously, sobbed and shook her head: "Why is grandma so flustered when the Princess of Chu comes to see her?"
Princess Zhennan couldn't explain it either. She asked Wei Yulong, "What do you mean now? Even if your grandmother really knew, she wouldn't tell us..."
Everyone knows how much the old princess values Wei An. If it is really as Wei Yulong and Princess Chu implied, it would be useless even if she said it.
But she couldn't just sit there and do nothing... She actually hoped that Wei Yulong was here to persuade her.
Wei Yulong hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "Grandmother values Wei An, but I don't want to be dragged to death by her... Aunt, can we secretly go and find out what Princess Chu means... No matter what, there is always a way..."
The Princess of Chu was just leisurely drinking tea. The fragrant tea of Puji Temple was famous for its quality. It was even more sweet and fragrant when used to entertain such nobles as them.
Opposite her was a stage that had been built but not yet dismantled. Looking through the flowers and trees, it looked broad and grand, very spectacular.
"What a pity! This stage was built by the Chen family before it was enclosed in Puji Temple. But before the performance started, something happened to the Chen family, and the villa was returned to the temple." Seeing that the Princess of Chu was staring intently, Dingxiang hurriedly introduced it to her.
Princess Chu raised the corners of her mouth, obviously in a good mood. After a while, she waved Dingxiang to come closer, and then let her look at the flower path downstairs: "Look, who is coming over there?"
Dingxiang looked out along the direction of her finger and saw Princess Zhennan and Wei Yulong surrounded by maids and servants.
She laughed and said, "Ah, it's the eighth daughter of Princess Zhennan and the Princess Changning of the Wei family... They are here after all."
This is not surprising. People are selfish. They can turn a blind eye to things when they have nothing to do with them, but once their interests are involved, no one can sit still.
Someone soon came up to report, and Princess Zhennan nodded and asked them to come up. When they came up, she smiled gently and kindly and asked them to sit down.
Although her attitude was so good, Wei Yulong and Princess Zhennan were still uneasy.
Princess Zhennan gestured to Ding Xiang to pour tea, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh: "Is the old princess okay? I was rash and didn't realize that she didn't know about this... I'm afraid that she would be frightened if I rashly told her the news."
Princess Zhennan tightened her handkerchief and answered her with a forced smile, "We are here for something. Our old princess is very scared. Just now, A-Long heard a few words from Miss Lin and came to me in a hurry. She said...she said that this matter is actually related to our family?"
She looked at Princess Zhennan and said, "Princess, please consider the friendship between our two families. If you know the reason, please tell us... so that we can be prepared..."
Princess Zhennan's humble background has its advantages, at least she can lower her head and bend her waist when asking for help.
Wei Yulong also looked up and looked at the Princess of Zhennan eagerly.
What is the connection between the incident of the Wei family and the incident of Princess Changning
Could it really be related to Princess Changning’s secret
Princess Zhennan looked at Wei Yulong carefully and asked instead of answering, "How old is Ah Long?"
Princess Zhennan was anxious, but she didn't dare not answer, so she suppressed her temper and answered for her softly, "She is already ten years old."
"When Changning gave birth to her first child, she waited a long time before giving birth to her second child. She finally had a daughter, but why did she give birth to another child without even taking a break?" Princess Zhennan put the tea in her hand on the table and looked at the two of them leisurely: "Don't you think it's strange? Changning is fine, she is not crazy, but why would she be so hard on her own newborn daughter?"
Princess Zhennan seemed to be thinking about something.
Wei Yulong even lowered his head, and after a pause, he spoke: "It's because my seventh sister was born to my father's concubine, so my mother feels uncomfortable."
"Really?" Princess Zhennan stared at her glasses, smiling, "But I heard that this is just an excuse."
She pointed to the pagoda not far away and nodded to Wei Yulong: "Do you know what that is? It is a place for worshipping tablets. Your mother also spent a lot of money to worship a tablet in it."
