"But the long-servant said that Apo and Miss Peng were also led to the reservoir by him." Mrs. Wei smiled more deeply: "But when I was still looking for them, Apo and Miss Peng came back together."
Everyone was confused by what they heard and looked at Old Madam Wei with full of doubts.
Mrs. Wei still did not get excited, and said calmly: "Apo said that she and Miss Peng really went to see the boxes and cages."
Is there anything wrong with these two
Wei Yangqing couldn't help but ask, "What's the problem?"
Old Madam Wei looked at him coldly, "Of course there is a problem. An An is not a fool. She knew something was going to happen. If she hadn't asked the person guarding the back door, and if there were no things left by Wei Yupo and Peng Lingwei along the way, would she have really followed him all the way to the cottage?!"
Everyone finally understood what was going on.
Wei Yangqing put his hands on his knees and asked in disbelief: "You mean, Apo..."
He simply couldn't believe it, and didn't dare to believe that his considerate little daughter would do such a thing.
What good will this do for my little daughter?!
The little daughter is also disobedient!
Wei Yangqing was stunned and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
It took him a long time to realize that his mother was saying that Wei Yupo directed and acted out the whole thing himself and wanted to frame Wei An.
However, he pursed his lips with a complicated and confused expression: "Apo has always been very timid..."
Among these daughters, only Wei Yupo never complained to him about any grievances, and never caused any trouble for him to worry about.
What's more, Wei Yupo is not a fairy. She is just a lady in the boudoir who never goes out of the house. She goes out very few times. How could she know Princess Changying's plan outside and cooperate with Princess Changying to frame Wei An
He hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up for his daughter: "I think that Aper... doesn't seem like that kind of child..."
Old Madam Wei glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I won't wrongly accuse your daughter."
But she was sighing in her heart. Changning had put all her thoughts into hating Ming Yuyou, and even neglected the upbringing of her own daughter, let alone a concubine's daughter. Thinking about it carefully, Wei Yupo had done many abnormal things before, but she had let it go. She always thought that since she had already hired a nanny and the child was still young, she would be able to correct it slowly. Who knew that once jealousy took root, it would grow like wild water weeds.
She shook her head wearily, "Madame Liang is her personal maid. There's no reason for her to harm Apo, right? She has already confessed that before going to Puci Temple, Apo suddenly received a post from Li Gui Niang and wrote several letters to her in reply. And she is not unaware of the relationship between our family and Princess Changying's residence."
Even though he knew about it, he still contacted Li Gui Niang. Then the incident with Wei An happened. How could it be explained as a coincidence? There was nothing to say.
Wei Yangqing finally breathed his last, and he looked more haggard than a year older.
He knew he was wrong.
I shouldn't have married Changning back then.
She can neither be a good wife nor a good mother.
Old Madam Wei didn't tell him this just to make him bow his head. She took a sip of tea, looked at the Third Master and the Second Master and said, "Prevent it from happening. Before, there was Xiaowu, and now there's Apo. I don't want such a thing to happen again in the mansion."
She said coldly: "Apo is still a child and can't understand. I don't believe that you adults can't figure it out either. If An An really falls into the hands of Princess Changying's mansion this time, then Apo can really rest easy?"
"Princess Changying's residence hates more than just An An. When the time comes, she will turn around and use this as evidence against A'po to bite back and ruin the reputation of the Dingbei Marquis' residence. If the reputation of sisters killing each other spreads, what future will the girls of the Marquis' residence have?" She put down the cup: "The road is not very stable to begin with. What's the difference between cutting off your own legs and seeking death?"
Wei Yangqing had nothing more to say: "What should we do with Apo... now?"
The Third Master also reacted, and after the Fifth Master finished asking, he immediately asked, "Mother, Princess Changying and the others went to the palace. Is it because the matter was exposed?"
Old Madam Wei nodded: "She has a big plan this time, and she has included Prince Duan's Mansion and Prince Linjiang's Mansion in her plan. Even if Princess Chang'an can bear this, how can Prince Linjiang's Mansion let her go?"
She sneered, "She doesn't know how to advance or retreat. She is in this situation because of herself. She can't blame anyone else."
Everyone was silent for a moment.
Old Madam Wei then said, "As for A'po, let's have someone look after her first and see how the palace handles Changying and Princess Duan before we talk about her."
Wei Yangqing had no objection, he just felt terrible now.
His daughter had caused him so much trouble time and time again, and he didn't know how to end it.
He didn't know how to clean up the mess for his daughter, but Princess Changying took all the blame on herself and cried uncontrollably while hugging the Queen's legs.
Queen Fang frowned, motioned to Aunt Xiao to help her up, and scolded: "Princess, what's wrong with you?!"
Ah Man was in poor health, and she had no intention of caring about Chang Ying. She looked at her coldly and said, "You said you have a hard life, but how hard is it? People should always know how to be content! You committed such a big mistake, but the emperor still assigned Gui Niang to the prince of a vassal state. They were cousins, but the prince of Duan was not as good-looking as expected..."
"But why would you do such a vicious thing?!" Queen Fang couldn't help but get angry: "You are simply bringing shame to the royal family!"
Princess Changying's trick almost made all of Emperor Longqing's efforts go to waste.
Not only has he offended Prince Zheng, but he has also offended the Linjiang Palace. If this really happens, Emperor Longqing will probably have a bigger headache.
That was it. Princess Changying even dared to come to her and cry to her about her grievances.
Aunt Xiao helped Princess Changying up, but before Queen Fang could finish her scolding, Princess Changying slipped to the ground again, kneeling on the shiny floor tiles and kowtowed repeatedly.
Empress Fang is now her only savior. If she was willing to say a few words for her in front of Emperor Longqing, this matter might not have become so ugly.
She hit her head hard and soon the skin on her forehead was broken.
Empress Fang was extremely annoyed. When she heard that Concubine De had arrived, she subconsciously frowned. After a long pause, she said, "Please come in."
