Wei An understood.
The mother whom she had never met struggled to give birth to her, and spent the last moment of her life worrying about her.
She felt aggrieved many times, and when those tangled fates were about to burst out from her heart, she would think of Ming Yuyou, and then she would slowly calm down from tossing and turning.
Come to think of it, it's not like she's unloved.
She also couldn't become as crazy and cruel as she was in her previous life.
If her daughter were alive, she would rather sacrifice her entire life in exchange, just hoping that she could live a peaceful and happy life. If it were Ming Yuyou, it would be the same.
That's why she has to live a good life and not let herself be devoured by hatred and become unrecognizable.
These people all hoped that she would not live a good life, but she just wanted to live better than anyone else, freely and comfortably.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she pursed her lips before saying yes.
Old Mrs. Wei let her go to the small Buddhist temple by herself.
Since the Ming family's case was overturned, Old Lady Wei wanted to send the ashes of the Ming family back to Yunnan. They died in an unclear manner and were burned to ashes, but the ashes were still kept by the Jinyiwei, sealed in an urn and brought back to the capital. They always leave a way out when doing things. After all, the Ming family's affairs were strange, and they were afraid that things would happen again one day.
Since the Ming family was rehabilitated, these things were returned along with the rewards.
Old Mrs. Wei looked at the porcelain jar, her lips trembling, and she could not utter a word. She seemed to have aged more than ten years that day, and her health has been getting worse since then.
The ashes that could not be returned to their hometown for burial in time were placed in a small Buddhist shrine set up by Old Lady Wei, where sutras were chanted and paper was burned every day.
Ming Yuyou's spirit tablet is also inside. Although there is also one at the Zheng Wang Mansion, it is always good for her to receive incense from both ends.
Wei Anming couldn't help but walked forward a few steps and touched the edge of the tablet when he stood in front of the young fish's spirit tablet.
We are separated by hell and hell, and I cannot even see her once. I am closest to her only when I kneel on the mat. Even in my dreams, I am always hazy and cannot see my mother's appearance clearly.
She kowtowed three times to Ming Yuyou and promised to take her home before going out.
As soon as I went out and walked down the steps of the veranda, I heard Shen Chen's voice above my head: "Why are you crying?"
The sun was too bright, Wei An raised his hands to block his eyes, his eyes still wet, and he saw Shen Chen standing on a tree branch at a glance.
No one has visited this small Buddhist temple for a long time. The big maple tree has not been taken care of for at least 10 to 20 years. It was already old, and now it has grown wildly to block out the sun. Only faint spots of light can be seen through the gaps between the branches on the ground.
Shen Chen felt that the sky was very wide when he stood there. When he saw Wei An looking up, he lowered his head to look at her. Seeing her eyes were wet and the tears on her eyelashes were not yet dry, he knew that she had been crying. He jumped down from the tree to her side and clapped his hands: "I heard that you were named a princess, so I came to see you and congratulate you."
The last time she saw him in a hurry, she was resentful and didn't notice it. Now that Shen Chen stood in front of her, blocking most of the light for her, she realized that the boy in front of her had grown into this appearance.
She took a step back and smiled at him: "Thank you."
Shen Chen also laughed, and his clear eyes instantly shone brightly: "What are you thanking me for? I haven't taken out the gift yet."
He pulled out a thin booklet from behind him like a magic trick, and handed it forward, placing it in front of Wei An: "This is the list of those people in the Ming family... The Ming family genealogy was burned in the Ming family mansion, and many of the names no longer match. Because it was a serious crime and the nine clans were exterminated, all those who were escorted to the capital were registered and recorded. But those people at the time concealed it in order to avoid more trouble, saying that the booklet was burned."
He paused, and when he saw Wei An had already reached out to take the booklet, his eyes lit up again: "I worked with the Third Young Master for a long time and asked him to find it."
He said it easily, but Wei An knew that this was not something that could be done easily.
Old Madam Wei often sighed for the wronged souls of the Ming family. She felt that they didn't even have a name, and it would be difficult to set up tablets for them. They would not be able to receive incense from the world and would become wandering ghosts. Now that she had this booklet, she was relieved of her worries.
She smiled sincerely at Shen Chen: "Thank you."
When she looked up and saw Shen Chen's attire, she hesitated again: "You... just came out of the palace?"
Shen Chen was wearing the attire of a prince, with bright red sleeves with golden python and fox patterns, and a waist belt with a gold-threaded edge. It was obvious that he had just come out of the palace.
He nodded and said, "I didn't leave the palace last night. My uncle was very happy to have a son, so he let me stay in the palace for one night."
Wei An’s right eyelid twitched suddenly.
Emperor Longqing had deliberately promoted Li Gui Niang yesterday, and now he had asked Shen Chen to stay overnight in the palace... She frowned and asked him, "Did he only ask you to stay?"
Seeing that she understood, Shen Chen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, as if mocking and tired: "Yes, you left me alone."
This is an attempt to sow discord among the sons of King Linjiang.
Emperor Longqing knew in his heart that no matter whether it was Chu Jingxing, Chu Jingwu or Shen Chen, none of them would want to marry Li Guiniang home, but he insisted on promoting Li Guiniang. First, he revealed that he wanted to give Li Guiniang to Chu Jingxing, and now he did this.
At that time, Chu Jingxing pushed Li Gui Niang away and felt that Shen Chen had taken advantage of her.
However, Shen Chen couldn't help feeling indignant. If someone else provoked him a few more times, he might vent his anger on Chu Jingxing.
This is really...
The art of checks and balances used by emperors has existed since ancient times.
But when it came to Emperor Longqing's turn, he always showed pettiness.
Since Shen Chen knew it very well, Wei An just smiled, and then suddenly remembered something and asked him: "You should be more careful with your eldest brother."
In his previous life, Chu Jingxing wanted Shen Chen to die, which clearly showed that he had a deep grudge against her.
Now that there is a little prince in this life, no matter whether the Linjiang Palace will still fight for that position, it is not good for the brothers to fall out, and the situation is not favorable to Shen Chen.
Shen Chen helped her so much. She thought about it and added, "You can't be too tolerant of everything. Some people won't think they are being too tolerant. When you need to make a decision, you should make it."
After all, the Linjiang King's family is Shen Chen's benefactor, so Wei An couldn't say it too obviously and had to stop there. However, he was really worried in his heart. There was no need for Emperor Longqing to instigate the conflict, and this thorn in Chu Jingxing's heart might not be removed.
