Peng Lingwei was different from the one she had married in her previous life. She was now a lively girl. Even if she was scheming, it was limited. There was not much gloom in her eyes. When she saw her, she happily held a bunch of gardenias and handed them to her: "Here! I moved them to the greenhouse to keep them. In a few days, they won't even survive in the greenhouse."
Since her mother asked her to befriend Wei An, she thought about it and realized that Wei An had no disadvantages except that he was good at talking. After all, it was just to make another friend for the family, so she had no objection.
Wei An took it in his hand, gave a few more to Wei Yupo, and thanked Peng Lingwei with a smile.
It is easiest to trick girls who are not too scheming.
She followed Peng Lingwei up the stairs, asking a lot of questions.
There was nothing that could not be said, and every word Wei An said touched Peng Lingwei's heart, which made her feel very comfortable. She stuck out her tongue and told Wei An: "Everyone is saying how great you are now. Don't worry, Li Gui Niang has been reprimanded and cannot go out for a while, let alone cause trouble for you. Even when she can go out, you don't have to be afraid of her with your ability!"
She said it very seriously and really thought Wei An was amazing.
Wei Yupo held the flowers alone, and felt that the fragrance was so bitter that it made her feel a little breathless.
Wei An chuckled and said, "My Lord Princess is so generous, why would she bother with a kid like me?"
He then asked a few more times in an indirect way: "I heard that there are many red envelopes to be collected when carrying boxes. How come such a good job has fallen to me?"
When she wanted to talk, she knew how to speak in accordance with people's wishes. She had been preparing for this for a long time before, so when asked this question again, Peng Lingwei could not raise her guard. Although she knew she couldn't tell the truth, she joked, "It's because you are so likable."
She stood her ground half-truthfully: "Besides, my mother said that we were old friends in Nanchang earlier, and now that we are in the capital and hold the same position, we should be even closer."
This means that this closeness is long-lasting.
What is even more intriguing is that Mrs. Peng specifically told her daughter to be on good terms with her.
Having been the daughter-in-law of the Peng family for such a long time in her previous life, she knew Madam Peng's character. Although she was not arrogant, she was always humble.
How could it be possible that she would take so much trouble to be nice to a junior without any ulterior motive
When she went upstairs, she saw Peng Siniang, who was wearing exquisite makeup. As the Third Lady had said, she stepped forward and gave Peng Siniang a prepared white jade pictographic pendant, and then gently expressed her congratulations to Peng Siniang.
She had now put away the aggressive look she had at the last gathering and became inexplicably friendly. Peng Si Niang was somewhat surprised that she could change her expression so easily. She was a little amazed in her heart, but smiled on her face: "Thank you, sister."
Wei An smiled and shook his head. Peng Si Niang thanked Wei Yupo again and then chatted with Wei An.
Wei An listened to it one by one, and when Peng Si Niang mentioned his brothers, his eyebrows twitched suddenly.
Fortunately, Peng Si Niang seemed to have just said it casually and then stopped talking, because someone outside reported that some relatives and elders had arrived.
The first to arrive was the wife of the Earl of Shoushan.
This was an old and respected official, even older than Old Madam Wei. When he saw that the person carrying the boxes was Wei An, he frowned unconsciously at first, and then turned around to ask Grandma Peng: "Why did you call such a person?"
Children might still think Wei An is awesome.
But their adults just felt that such a personality was not pleasing, and that women should be chaste and quiet. Even though it was Li Gui Niang who provoked Wei An first and that’s why he stole the limelight, Wei An was too persistent in the end.
This is really a low point.
She really disliked it, and it was really infuriating that the Peng family actually invited Wei An.
The smile on Grandma Peng's face became a little awkward, and she couldn't help but feel that the old lady of Shoushan was really rude - the person in front of her was not easy to deal with. She didn't even give face to Princess Changying's Mansion. How could you get any benefit if you said a few more words to her
She quickly tried to smooth things over: "You were not here for what happened that day, old lady. This is just a matter between children..."
"Why is it just a matter between children?" The old lady of Shoushanbo put a shining golden lock into the box. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Wei An cough.
"You are right. It is not a matter between children." Wei An looked up at her with a smile. There was no anger or shame on his face. He said frankly, "Being rude is a sign of poor upbringing. To drag the whole family into it even though others have given in is a generalization and a lack of tolerance. Questioning my upbringing is disrespectful to His Majesty and His Majesty. This is certainly not a matter between children. Madam is knowledgeable and has cleared the name of this junior. I am very grateful."
The whole room fell silent, and no one was able to speak this time.
this... ..
That's not what Mrs. Shoushan meant!
The old lady of the Shoushan Earl was so angry that her hands were shaking, but she couldn't utter a word. You may say that Wei An was wrong, but the palace has already issued an order to reprimand Princess Changying and Li Gui Niang. Who would dare to offend them
But if we follow Wei An's words, then...
Wouldn't it really be a way of clearing Wei An's name and allowing Wei An to gain all the benefits
She was squeezed so hard that her face turned red and wrinkles piled up on her face. After a long while, she put the things down, snorted coldly, and walked out.
Peng Lingwei was a little stunned.
I am very worried about my brother's future.
A girl who won't take any loss...
Who can hold their head up in front of her from now on
Wei An's words determined the outcome. From then on, none of the ladies who came to add boxes dared to criticize her for refusing to back down, and no one even mentioned the previous gathering.
Everyone says that Miss Wei Qi has a good tongue, and now it seems that she is indeed good at it.
It's like one force can defeat all others.
From then on, it was quiet, and until the time was up and the boxes were added, Wei An didn't hear any criticism again.
The third wife had heard about it outside a long time ago. Seeing that the old lady of Shoushanbo was struggling to catch her breath, she was worried that she would faint. But she felt very happy in her heart.
This old lady never gives people face, and she has been criticized by her in a sarcastic manner many times in the past.
This time when Princess Changying happened, she also came to act as a lobbyist, and kept saying that it was the Wei family's fault.
Wei An used the emperor to pressure others this time, and she couldn't say a word in reply. From now on, she would probably avoid the people of the Wei family. This was good. How much trouble would be saved? She had long disliked the wife of the Shoushan Earl. She always flattered others in order to suppress them. This time, she finally learned her lesson.
