Wei An had no intention of making amends.
Lan He and Yu Qing came with her. They could not enter the garden to serve, so they all waited outside the garden. When they heard the news from inside that there was going to be a competition, and heard the little maids who came and went echoing the same story, they all began to tremble with anger.
No matter how unpopular my daughter was, she had never been scolded by anyone.
But Li Gui Niang just cursed her, and not only that, she also pointed at her nose and cursed her in front of so many people, almost half of the ladies in Beijing.
If the girl swallows her anger and acts cowardly, those ugly words will probably spread more and more, and even the Wei family, Prince Zheng, and the Ming family will also be embarrassed.
Life is already difficult, and Wei An is so cold and lonely, not saying a word for ten days or half a month. If he really gets provoked like this again, how will he be able to live in the future
After hearing that Wei An won the first game of tossing pots, the two looked at each other, chanted Buddhist scriptures at the same time, and waited for the next game with great anxiety.
Only when he won the next game did his anger turn into joy.
If he lost, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the capital, and even the good fortune of being adopted would be criticized. It would be great if he won, as he could not only gain respect, but also slap the faces of those who laughed at him.
But after receiving the call from Wei An, she still couldn't help but feel indignant: "You rely on the fact that you are the princess's daughter to not treat others as human beings..."
What deep hatred could a young girl have that she had to embarrass others at this critical moment
If it was a girl from an ordinary family, it would be fine, she could just cover it up by saying she was ignorant, but she is the daughter of a princess, with so many nurses following her and so many teachers teaching her. Doesn't she know what consequences her words will bring to others
It was clearly intentional.
Wei An looked calm and just smiled after hearing their complaints: "It's nothing missing anyway, so there's no need to mention it."
But this matter was not something that could be forgotten just by her not mentioning it. The Second and Third Madams were worried, yet also frightened and afraid.
I know that Wei An is different, and I also know that Wei An is powerful.
But no one expected Wei An to be so powerful. He put Li Gui Niang's face on the ground and stomped on it several times.
Although he had vented his anger, he was probably completely at odds with the Princess's Mansion.
Although Wei An might be given the title of a princess or a county lady, but... he doesn't look as confident as Li Gui Niang's princess.
Besides, Princess Changying has never been a person who is willing to give in.
The second and third wives were worried and reported it to old lady Wei, but she pondered for a moment before sneering.
When Empress Ming was still around, Princess Changying was just a yes-man in front of Empress Ming, saying whatever was appropriate. She glanced at the Second and Third Madams and shook her head calmly, "There is no such thing as being hit on the left cheek and then turning the right cheek to be hit again. I've already done it, so what's the point of being afraid?"
What's more... ... .
Her eyes were cold, like frozen lake water in winter: "We are still forcing ourselves to smile when we are bullied. How can we save our dignity in the future?"
The Second Lady heard the accusation in Old Madam Wei's words and felt so ashamed that she didn't know what to do.
Of course she knew what Old Madam Wei said. Her two daughters were already married. If Wei An had not stood up at that time, he would have been looked down upon by his in-laws in the future.
She was wrong but was willing to admit it, lowering her head and whispering, "Mother is right."
Old Madam Wei's expression softened a little. She glanced at the two of them and shook her head again: "It's nothing. I'm afraid it's human nature. After all, this is the princess's mansion."
The Wei family has been in decline these days, and everyone has been living in fear. It is not something that can be done overnight to raise their heads again.
She passed over the matter and stopped talking about it. She glanced at Wei Yupo, who had said nothing except greeting since she came in, and said softly, "Apo, go down and rest first. You must have been frightened today. Let your nanny calm your soul tonight. If you want to eat anything, go and tell your aunt."
The Third Lady also laughed along: "That's right, if you want to eat or play anything, you must tell your aunt. It's inevitable that your aunt will not expect something, you can't make yourself suffer."
Wei Yulong's future is uncertain, and now only her daughter is by her side. She is concerned about her, and the Third Madam has always known how to behave.
Wei Yupo replied respectfully, bowed to Old Madam Wei and went out. He walked for half an hour and by the time he returned to his room, he could almost see the shadow of the moon.
Everyone in the room came out to greet her, but she couldn't muster the energy to do anything. As soon as she sat down, she behaved like Wei An in front of others, neither humble nor arrogant.
No wonder she was chosen to be adopted, she turns out to be so capable.
Wei Yupo thought in a daze. The fan in his hand was already soaked with sweat but he didn't react. After a while, he washed up with the help of the nanny.
Madam Liang kept asking, "Did you have fun on this trip, young lady? Did you meet any playmates?"
Nanny Liang was given to her by her aunt. She has always been loyal and only wants the best for her. In the past, Princess Changning was suppressing her, so she didn't dare to do anything, and couldn't do anything. Princess Changning was not a tolerant person, so she could only make herself more and more inconspicuous.
But only now did Wei Yupo realize how ridiculous she was. She wanted to hide her shortcomings, but ended up overestimating herself.
The value of these girls in Beijing is not just in their status. The knowledge, insights and experiences that their background can bring are the most important.
But she has none of these.
She thought about Wei An, then compared herself to him, and sighed slowly.
Old Madam Wei did not sigh, but asked the second and third wives: "The Peng family made such a big scene, but didn't they show any intention at all?"
The Second Lady had always gotten along well with Madam Chen, so as soon as she arrived, she was stopped by Madam Chen to talk. However, the Third Lady was stopped by Grandma Peng and flattered for a while, and then she talked to the First Lady and others for a while.
"It really seems to be just a banquet." The Third Madam was a little bewildered: "They kept saying that their eldest master would also go to the Ministry of War in the future, so he would be our fifth brother's colleague and so on, and asked the fifth brother to take care of him."
Master Peng passed the imperial examination late. His younger brothers had all become officials before he just barely passed. After enduring so many years of serving in other places, he was finally able to enter the capital through connections.
But it was not easy to get into the six ministries. After trying his best, he only got to the Ministry of War, where he became a doctor in the Military Selection Department.
Although it was only a fifth-rank position, it was already a rare and lucrative position. He already had a good relationship with the Wei family, so he had to visit them more often, make their relationship even better, and increase their affection.
This is also very common sense and there is nothing wrong with it.
