When she went in, Old Madam Wei was leaning on the Luohan bed. The Third Madam was respectfully reporting everything in the mansion to the old lady. The First Madam was sitting aside with her head bowed, as if she had just cried.
After finishing her business, the third wife smiled and took back the account book. She sat beside the old lady and asked, "When will Miss Pei move in? I want to prepare things for her... But she is young and I am afraid that she will make a lot of noise and give you a headache."
The Third Lady was not reluctant to leave her daughter at all - after all, she was in this mansion and could be reached in a few steps. She could see her anytime she wanted. It would be hypocritical to say that she was reluctant to leave.
It is such a rare blessing to be raised by an old lady. Only the eldest daughter Wei Yumin and the second daughter Wei Yumei had this treatment. How could the other girls get the same treatment
Even though there are some rumors in the court now, in the mind of the Third Lady, they are just thunder with little rain - the current Emperor Longqing treats Old Lady Wei as well as he can, and Old Lady Wei is a concubine of the inner court who never goes out of the inner courtyard. How could she be in collusion with that group of rebellious bandits
Those imperial censors simply had nothing else to find fault with, so they deliberately brought up old matters to make a fuss. What kind of trouble could they cause
If Wei Yupei could follow Old Madam Wei, she would have many benefits in the future. Although she was a member of the Ming family, who in the capital would not give Old Madam Wei some face? Even the Empress Dowager would constantly give Old Madam Wei gifts during festivals.
If Old Madam Wei was willing, it would be easy to find a future for Wei Yupei.
Wei An could understand the Third Madam's painstaking efforts. Being educated by Old Madam Wei, he had become a step higher invisibly. This would be a great topic for discussion when he went out to propose marriage in the future. She sat beside him with her eyes lowered, as quiet as a beautiful wooden sculpture.
Of course she wanted this opportunity, but she also didn't want to make enemies with the Third Lady. Old Madam Wei might not only have to raise one child by her side. If she could really help solve Wei Yumin's dilemma, the old lady would give her a chance.
Old Madam Wei kept her eyes on her for a moment without leaving any trace, waved her hand and beckoned Wei Yupei to come closer, looked her up and down, and asked her softly, "Sister Pei, are you willing to move in and keep Grandma company?"
Wei Yupei is the youngest daughter of the Third Madam. She is only five years old and is innocent and lovely. Although she has received the Third Madam's instructions, she is still a little hesitant when Old Madam Wei really asks her. She tilts her head and hesitates for a moment before saying, "So will I not live with my mother in the future?"
She was only five years old and did not have her own yard, so the third lady raised her by her side.
Mrs. Wei smiled and nodded: "But if you want to go see your mother, no one will stop you."
Wei Yupei looked back at the Third Madam and saw her nodding slightly at him. He turned back and looked at the old lady again, but he couldn't make up his mind.
Old Madam Wei gently let go of her hand and said to the Third Madam, "Sister Pei is too young... I feel that she is getting less energetic these days, and it's boring here, so don't make a good girl lifeless." She glanced at the Third Madam's somewhat stiff smile and said, "Xiao Qi... has a lot of troubles. She is so old and still hasn't learned all the rules. I'm afraid she will make a fool of herself when she goes out. People will think that there are no rules in our mansion. Let Xiao Qi move in."
The Third Madam knew that Wei An had been making a fuss about He'an Courtyard recently, and that she also knew that Wei An went to the small Buddhist temple every day, but she didn't take it seriously. No matter how well Wei An did, what was the use if he had a mother who was disliked and feared by Old Madam Wei
But she never expected that Wei An's flattery would actually work. She didn't know how to react for a moment. After a while, she pursed her lips and looked at her daughter who was smiling happily. She held back her surprise and smiled and agreed to it with Mrs. Wei. She then discussed with Mrs. Wei how to decorate the room for Wei An.
But the storm in her heart was rising. How could Old Madam Wei be so polite to the daughter of Princess Changning? She remembered what Nanny Jin had said before, how Nanny Wang was useless before, but now she was useful, as if she knew when to do it. She felt like there was a bucket hanging in her heart, up and down, and she felt very uncomfortable.
She had never dared to have any unpleasant thoughts before - although the prince was dead, it was not that Old Madam Wei was without her own children, she also had Wei Yangqing.
But after watching with cold eyes for so many years, she realized that the old lady really treated her son as an enemy, and had been doing so for more than ten years, so she couldn't help but have some thoughts about him. Originally everything was going smoothly, but now the old lady suddenly did this, which really caught her off guard.
The eldest lady could not hide her surprise. She glanced at Wei An, who raised his eyes in the same surprise. She didn't understand why the old lady would ask her to move to He'an Courtyard.
After finally getting rid of the group of people, Mrs. Wei finally felt her ears quiet. Looking at Wei An with red eyes, she instructed her in a calm tone: "Go to the storeroom with your third aunt and take a look. If there is anything you like, write it down and ask your third aunt to arrange it for you."
Wei An had originally planned to use Wei Yumin's matter as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Old Lady Wei. She knew that nothing was born to belong to you, and if you wanted something, you had to work hard to get it.
But she hadn't fought for it yet, hadn't shown her usefulness yet, and she didn't know why Old Lady Wei would ask to educate her.
She tried her best to suppress her surging emotions and whispered yes. Knowing that the old lady had something to say to the First Lady and Nanny Hua, she respectfully left the room.
Mrs. Wei looked at her back for a moment, and said to the bewildered Madam: "I had a dream..."
Ming Yuyou came into her dream. In the dream, Ming Yuyou was still very thin, with a pale face. He said nothing and sat beside the bed looking at her sadly.
She tried her best to say a few words to Ming Yuyou, but she couldn't move.
When she was finally able to move, she tried to reach out to pull Ming Yuyou, but her hand was empty. Then she was surprised to find that Ming Yuyou in front of her had turned into Wei An. When their faces were overlapped, they were surprisingly similar...
Regardless of whether it was because of her thoughts during the day or her dreams at night, she felt that Wei An and Ming Yuyou were similar. At that moment, she made up her mind to keep Wei An by her side. No matter what, she would just consider it for the sake of her face...
I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t write well or if there’s some other problem, but my grades are really bad. I feel so sad and depressed…
