The weather was getting hotter and hotter, with the sun hanging high in the sky. Everything on the ground seemed to have lost its vitality for a short time. Even the dense cosmos flowers in the small garden next to the old lady's yard were withering badly. The servants took shovels and buried the branches and leaves in the soil so that they could grow more lush next year.
The Third Madam seemed to be affected by the weather. She stood in the old lady's He'an Courtyard with a worried look on her face. She smiled at Aunt Hua who came out. When she saw Aunt Hua shaking her head, she couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Aunt, the old lady still doesn't want to see me?"
The third lady was nominally a member of the Kong family. Her ancestors were related to the Kong family. She had gained many benefits in the past because of this, and she was always proud of this identity. However, this was the first time that she felt embarrassed because of this identity.
The two sisters-in-law of the Kong family are simply crazy. They can do such a stupid and vicious thing!
She was angry, but when the other party really came to her and asked her to ask Old Lady Wei for help, she had no choice but to agree.
No matter what, after all, you can't write two Kong characters with one stroke. No matter what, the Kong family can be regarded as her mother's family. She pursed her lips, her eyes full of panic and anxiety: "Mammy, please tell the old lady again..."
Nanny Hua lowered her head, avoiding the purse handed over by Nanny Jin. With a lukewarm smile on her face, she said respectfully and distantly, "Third Madam, please allow me to say something presumptuous. Once a woman is married, she belongs to her husband's family. Don't you agree?"
Just one sentence left the third lady speechless.
Nanny Jin was worried and sighed as she left the yard: "What's the matter? This matter has nothing to do with you, but the old lady blames you..."
The third lady looked solemn and sneered for a while: "From this point of view, if I were the old lady, I would also be angry. What they did was not what human beings do. It's really..."
After entering the house, she didn't even have the heart to drink from the ice bowl. She calmed herself down and told Nanny Jin: "Nanny, go and tell my mother in person and ask her to go back to the first and second wives and tell her that the old lady is extremely angry. If she still wants the best for her daughter, don't make any promises rashly. This is about my uncle's daughter, and the old lady won't recognize her as a relative."
Nanny Jin knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to say a word. She replied in a low voice, then quickly called a carriage and left.
Mrs. Wei was indeed extremely angry, but after a few days, she was able to calm down.
At least I can calm down and ask Wei An what is going on.
She had never taken this granddaughter seriously, and thought that her only redeeming feature was her face that looked too much like Yu You. But somehow, she had become completely different.
She didn't think much of this difference before, but now she is extremely grateful for Wei An's differences.
She looked at Wei An with a complicated expression for a moment, then raised her hand and rubbed her temple: "How can you be so sure that Mrs. Kong Er is taking your elder sister to harm her?"
This is really strange, isn't it? As a ten-year-old child, Wei An's vigilance is obviously terrifyingly strange.
Old Mrs. Wei's anger had not subsided after a few days, but Wei An had already sorted out all the causes and consequences. She was not a ten-year-old child. Inside her body lived the soul of an old man who was already several decades old. There was no way to hide this fact.
Since there is no way to hide it, let's just make it public.
She sat below Old Lady Wei and said calmly, "I've been to Prince Zheng's Mansion in Jianzhou before." Seeing that Old Lady Wei was a little surprised, she reminded her, "When I was five years old... my grandmother took me to Jianzhou to stay for a few days... I also heard from my third aunt that the Duke of Yansheng's Mansion was the former Prince Xiang's Mansion. Generally, the outer courtyard is outside the rockery and shed in the northeast corner of the garden of the palace... Second Madam Kong took my eldest sister to the outer courtyard, and she seemed very nervous. Madam Kong also deliberately sent you away before. The behavior of the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang was too strange..."
She curled her lips in self-mockery: "Grandma, you know I'm good at reading people's expressions, so when I saw their expressions, I felt something was going to happen."
This is true. What makes Wei An annoying is that she knows how to observe other people's emotions and decide how to say them in a way that would hurt them.
Old Mrs. Wei leaned back in her armchair, and even though she was deep in thought, she couldn't help showing a hint of fatigue.
She felt much more relieved knowing that there was no one else instigating Wei An for ulterior motives.
Outside the room, Nanny Hua reported cautiously through the curtain, saying that someone had been sent from Duke Yansheng's Mansion.
Mrs. Wei had a sneer on her lips, and without hesitation ordered someone to invite the third master: "Tell him that if he doesn't stand up for his niece, the Wei family will be left without a man."
The third master did not hesitate for a moment and immediately ordered his men to beat the man out with sticks.
As long as it wasn't Master Kong who came in person, he wouldn't give face to anyone who came. He always knew how to settle accounts, and no matter how you look at it, the Duke of Yansheng's Mansion was in the wrong. He couldn't possibly offend his own stepmother for the Duke of Yansheng's Mansion - his stepmother was the one who truly controlled everything in the Wei family, and he knew this very well.
Even when he knew about the Third Lady sending someone home to send a letter of refusal, he still praised her: "Well done, they really offended the old lady this time."
The Third Lady naturally knew that the two married ladies were the lifeblood of Old Lady Wei. If anyone touched them, the old lady would not show mercy, let alone stab them with a knife herself.
She lowered her head, feeling a little nervous: "I wonder if the old lady will be mad at me because of this..."
The Third Master was not angry at all. He sat beside her, took a bite of a watermelon, and smiled and shook his head: "The old lady has no time to be angry with you. Even if it is the Yansheng Duke's family, it is secondary. The most important thing is the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. But recently you should be careful to serve the old lady..."
After the Third Lady had finished giving her instructions, the Third Master went to Mrs. Wei's room in person and told her the whole process of sending away the people from Duke Yansheng's Mansion. He then asked Mrs. Wei for instructions: "And the Prince of Marquis Pingyang... He has come here several times in the past few days, you see..." Mrs. Pingyang's wife was exposed by Mrs. Wei on the day she was at Duke Yansheng's Mansion. There was no news from her for several days afterwards. She only sent her eldest grandson and granddaughter over.
Old Mrs. Wei knew very well what the plan was.
He was just fearless and regarded the two children as bargaining chips to control the Wei family. He used the two children to remind the Wei family that no matter what, Wei Yumin's child's surname was Zhu, which was a warning.
It was put on the shelves the day before. I'm begging for the first order and monthly ticket rewards. If the reward is above the He Shi Bi, there will be an extra chapter. If the monthly ticket reaches thirty, there will be an extra chapter. Anyway, there will be all kinds of extra chapters. The first order is really important to me. I'm begging for subscriptions. I'm counting on you. I'm nervous.
