Chen Mianmian was the niece of the Queen, and even the palace gave her a reward for her engagement, which was a grand and lively occasion. Because the man's family did not need to bring older female relatives, Wei An became the sister-in-law who needed to be entertained by the Chen family, and Mrs. Chen would soon have someone come to invite her to a banquet.
Prince Zheng originally came to deliver something and to see Wei An. He didn't want to stay too long where the women were supposed to be, so he glanced at the Fairy Princess and said with a half-smile, "Ah Sheng, I leave An An to you. You are not allowed to bully her!"
Princess Xianrong had recovered quickly. She always knew how to respond. Since Prince Zheng showed that he valued Wei An very much, she put away her condescending attitude and disdain and responded in a gentle voice, "Don't worry. Shou Ning is my great benefactor. How dare I bully her?"
King Zheng left with a smile, and she looked at Wei An again, then went to the Zuiyue Courtyard next door to play with other girls.
Without the harassment of Lady Xianrong, Wei An felt relaxed. He looked at the kite not far away with complicated eyes, and frowned after a while.
The Peng family was overly enthusiastic.
The style of their family has always been that the phoenix will not land unless it has treasure, but they also think highly of themselves.
Now that Concubine De's status has risen, the Peng family should have focused more and more attention on Concubine De. Why do they keep distracting their attention on her
Now even the legitimate second son like Peng Caichen has been pushed out...
Wei An is no longer the ignorant woman in her previous life who knew nothing and could be fooled by a few nice words. She knows very well that in her previous life, the Peng family was attracted by her estrangement from Wei Yangqing and Princess Changning, as well as her identity as a member of the Wei family.
What about this life
In this life, she now has the surname Wei and has the support of King Zheng. Are they targeting the Dingbei Marquis Mansion or King Zheng
The kite at hand is still exquisite and new, and looks very much like the one hanging on the tree in the previous life.
The person who gave her the kite had the same face in both his past and present lives...
She hesitated for a moment before walking over and taking the kite in her hands.
Peng Lingwei came to pull her to the table to drink. Seeing her looking at the kite, her smile deepened. She couldn't help but raise her chin in joy and pride: "What do you think? I told you this kite is very beautiful, right?"
Wei An had a perfectly satisfied smile on his face: "It is indeed beautiful... But this gift is not from you after all, it is from your brother, I am not willing to accept it..."
Peng Lingwei burst out laughing: "Why is it so hard to accept this?" She said: "It's just that he picked it out, and it was me who gave it away!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and she pulled Wei An aside and asked, "Why don't we pick a day and go fly a kite together? We were not able to fly one last time at Pu Ci Temple... It was such a pity..."
Wei An lowered his eyes and hesitated: "Something has happened recently, and my grandmother won't let me go out. Today, it was because the Chen family is a close family that she let me come."
As long as she lets go, Peng Lingwei breathed a sigh of relief, shook her hand and smiled: "What's the big deal? Let's go to my house this time. My house is big and there's room to fly a kite!"
The cannons had already been fired outside, so Peng Lingwei had to raise her voice a little: "The Chen family and your family are close friends, and my family and your family are also close friends. The old lady will definitely agree!"
Wei An agreed with a smile: "In that case, I will go back and tell grandma."
It turns out that she is not that difficult to deal with. Peng Lingwei nodded heavily, but laughed in her heart. As expected, you have to cater to her preferences to impress her. It turns out that this girl who looks very powerful can be dealt with by just a few delicate kites.
It’s a pity that both mother and father are so nervous.
She turned around and went to her mother who was also sitting there to report the results, and proudly asked her mother for credit: "Mom, did I do the right thing this time?"
Madam Peng glanced at her with a smile, then looked at Wei An who was talking to Chen Mianmian not far away, and her smile became even kinder and gentler: "That's right, Awei can do it now."
Wei And decided to go to Peng's house to keep an appointment with Peng Lingwei. Old Madam Wei couldn't help but frown. There were no outsiders in the house, and there was nothing to be shy about in front of the Second Madam. She waved her hand, and the little girl who was massaging her legs left. Then she said, "You want to go to Peng's house?"
Wei An sat down next to her. Seeing the Second Madam also stand up and say that she wanted to go to the small kitchen outside to check on the soup, he nodded softly, "We have to know what they want to do."
The Peng family's attitude was becoming more and more eager, and she couldn't just sit and wait.
Old Madam Wei knew that she knew what was going on, so she said no more and just stroked her hair: "When the emperor's order comes down, we will go to Jianzhou first to pack up your mother's belongings..."
Then go to Yunnan. All the members of the Ming family died, and only a few babies in swaddling clothes were saved. They have survived all these years under the care of the old members of the Ming family. Now that the Ming family has been rehabilitated, it is natural for Mrs. Wei, as the only direct descendant of the Ming family, to make arrangements for them.
What's more, the ancestral hall in my hometown should have been almost rebuilt, and it's time to go there to comfort our ancestors and let them rest in peace if their spirits are still there.
Wei An was silent for a moment and then nodded, and told Old Lady Wei: "Grandma, there is one more thing... I'm afraid there will be another big trouble with Princess Xianrong."
Old Mrs. Wei opened her eyes, feeling a little annoyed.
If it weren't for the constant small movements of Lady Xianrong, Wei An would not have been injured at all.
Moreover, Wei An finally helped her so much, but she didn't say a word of thanks in the end. Even after so long, she never expressed any gratitude.
She thought for a moment and then asked, "She went today too?"
Wei An nodded: "Yes, she also told me not to expect a favor in return."
She curled her lips, and seeing that Old Madam Wei frowned, she said, "Although I didn't think about getting anything from her - after all, after this incident, we cleared out the traitors in our family and completely destroyed Princess Changying's mansion, which is already a reward. But since she said so, I have to ask them for something."
Old Mrs. Wei knew what she meant.
People are mean-spirited. Sometimes when they receive a favor from others, even if they don't say anything, they will always feel uncomfortable. They may even think that the people who help them are unnecessary and a trouble, because they know their shortcomings and have seen their embarrassment.
Rather than helping others and getting nothing in return, and being resented and blamed by others, it is better to just get the benefits.
