Nanny Wang sneered indignantly, "That's how it should be. These unscrupulous people deserve to die. They did evil things during the wedding of others and viciously murdered their master. Killing them is the least they can do!"
The door creaked and tried to open. A maid who was about thirty years old and had smashed the cup in her hand suddenly fell to her knees and trembled.
All eyes in the room were on her.
Wei An winked at Su Ping, and Su Ping closed the door with a click.
"Who is this person?" Wei An looked through her coldly at the servants of the Mei family who were occupying positions behind her.
The servant of the Mei family was so frightened that his words were incoherent. After a long while, he stammered and replied, "It's... it's Lai Mama, the housekeeper of our young lady's courtyard..."
Wei An, the housekeeper of the courtyard, said "Oh" and chuckled, "It's you?"
Her tone was too light. Mother Lai was terrified and kowtowed to the ground repeatedly, begging Wei An for mercy.
"Don't pretend." Wei An nodded to the old doctor, then looked at Nanny Wang. Seeing Nanny Wang personally holding Mei Ying and going out, he looked at her coldly: "If you really knew what fear was, you wouldn't have been so harsh. You wouldn't have deliberately fed your young lady food that she shouldn't have eaten on a day like this, and even fed her wine."
The quilt and other items on the bed had been stained by Mei Ying's vomit. Wei An glanced at them, and Lan He and others quickly took out a new set of bedding from the cabinet and changed them.
The bedding used before was custom-made by the Ministry of Rites, and the brocade quilt prepared by the bride herself was packed in a box and delivered in advance, so it was just the right time to change it.
Fortunately, the dragon and phoenix patterns on the quilt were embroidered by Miss Ding herself, and the materials used were also of high quality, so there would be no noticeable difference even if she changed to a new one.
Su Ping was busy adding a handful of lily incense into the incense burner, closing the lid and placing it on the table, and then took out a silver sachet filled with lily spices and pressed down the curtain to remove the odor.
All this was done swiftly and quickly, without any delay at all, which dazzled the onlookers.
Wei An took advantage of this gap to glance at Lai Mama, who was shaking like a sieve, and put away the playful expression on his face: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. You suddenly did something like this, it's definitely not a spur of the moment or you're crazy..."
Mother Lai was very scared. The development of things was beyond her imagination and did not go at all as she had imagined.
It’s fine as long as Wei An didn’t panic.
It didn't even alarm anyone.
She immediately asked two maids to hold the door. It was obvious that those two maids were not easy to mess with, so Mei Ying hugged her in her arms again.
Then, without any delay, she sent someone to find a doctor - this is the key point, she actually prepared a doctor in the palace, and he came so quickly!
This matter, which should have been a matter of much noise and could not be resolved, was handled by Wei An without any noise at all. If Mei Ying had not been lying in bed and if the doctor had not come, it would have been as if nothing had happened.
And she has completely taken the initiative!
Just as she said, she didn't have to do anything because she had already done everything she should and could do. She raised her doubts and found a doctor for Meiying as soon as possible.
Meiying's injury had nothing to do with her at all.
She also properly settled Meiying and cleaned up the scene, so that it wouldn't even affect the Zheng Wang's wedding... She was just waiting for the nanny outside to lure the person who designed this farce into the trap...
This woman was so meticulous that it was terrifying. Mother Lai was shaking all over and kept begging for mercy with her head on the ground: "I was blinded by greed for a moment... I forgot that girls can't eat shrimp..."
"Did you forget?" Wei An did not hide the sarcasm in his tone: "You remembered it too well, didn't you? I remember that there were shrimps in the main course of today's dishes, but the banquet hasn't officially started yet, right? There aren't any snacks with shrimp paste, so you said you forgot? Where did the shrimp paste come from?"
"You came out to beg for mercy because you knew someone would check the kitchen to see who took the shrimp paste. You also knew that once your daughter woke up, she would ask who gave her the snacks. As for whether you forgot or not, that was just an excuse you made."
Wei An's voice became colder and colder: "Why don't we be more straightforward in what we say? If you really want to survive, why don't you tell them clearly in front of so many people who bribed you?"
As if to echo Wei An's words, the door creaked open, and the afterglow of the setting sun made it impossible for people to open their eyes.
Princess Linjiang and Princess Jin rushed to the front first. They looked unhappy and asked as soon as they entered the door, "What's going on?"
Madam Mei was almost crying in anxiety. She quickly walked to Wei An and said, "Princess Shouning, where is my Yingying? What happened to my Yingying?"
There are salutes outside, and the bride comes in. After paying homage to heaven and earth, she will be sent to the bridal chamber.
Wei An smiled at Madam Mei in a soothing manner and shook his head gently: "It's a long story, but Yingying is fine now..."
She glanced at the Fairy Princess who was following behind Princess Chang'an with an unnatural look on her face, and curled her lips coldly as if she was smiling: "I do have something to tell you. It was this Lai Mama who fed Yingying a lot of shrimp paste and gave her wine, which is why Yingying became like this."
Madam Mei was stunned for a moment, and did not react for a while. When she reacted, she looked at Lai Mama in disbelief, and asked Lai Mama in a shocked voice: "You have been in the mansion for so long, and you are the housekeeper in the young lady's courtyard. Don't you know that the young lady can't eat shrimps and crabs?!"
This is clearly intentional!
"Now is not the time to talk about her." Wei An smiled and stopped Madam Mei. He turned back to look at Princess Linjiang and the others and said softly, "Today is a big day after all. It is the critical moment for the newlyweds to enter the bridal chamber. It would be bad if there is a commotion. The princesses would also lose face."
The Princess of Jin and the Princess of Linjiang were also dragged into it.
But what Wei An said was not wrong. If something really went wrong at the wedding banquet, even if they were only there to help in name only, they would still be blamed.
It was so hard to return to the fiefdom, and no one wanted to cause any trouble at this time.
Princess Linjiang said, "These servants are becoming more and more careless. Now is not the time to punish them. Shouning is right. The newlyweds are about to enter the bridal chamber. Let's not dwell on these things for now..."
"Yes." Princess Jin quickly agreed: "If there is anything, let's talk about it after the ceremony is completed..."
