But Princess Chang'an had obviously made up her mind. Nanny Yuan was very clear about her role and importance, so she didn't say anything more.
There is no point in saying more and it will only make people dislike you.
What Princess Xianrong cares about most is this marriage. Ruining her marriage is tantamount to making a mortal enemy with her. Even if she gains the trust of Princess Chang'an, she is just a servant. How can she be compared with her daughter
She changed the subject and persuaded Princess Chang'an and Princess Xianrong to stop crying. She asked respectfully, "Should the old nanny who treated the princess be arranged to stay at the farm?"
So many people were mobilized at this late hour in the night, and there was a lot of noise in the room just now, with people crying and making noises. At this critical juncture when the wedding is about to take place, if word of it gets out, it's bound to make people think too much.
Princess Chang'an helped Xianrong County Lady tidy up her messy hair and said without hesitation: "Transfer her to the farm and tell her not to speak again in the future."
Princess Xianrong didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
She was used to seeing this kind of thing. Many of her father's concubines were dealt with in this way by her mother in a casual manner, and some of them did not even leave a complete corpse.
Now her mother didn't threaten her life, she just wanted her to stop talking in the future. She didn't think it was a big deal.
Nanny Yuan agreed. Seeing that Xianrong County Lady looked haggard but calm, she asked Princess Chang'an softly, "Are you going back to rest tonight?"
Princess Chang'an was supposed to sleep with her husband today, and by now, her husband should have returned home.
Princess Chang'an refused without a second thought: "No need, send someone to tell the prince consort that I am not feeling well and have someone take care of him and let him rest."
She also instructed Nanny Yuan: "When the eldest young master comes back later, have someone serve him well. If he drinks too much, have the kitchen prepare some sobering soup for him."
In comparison, her attitude towards her son is obviously much more caring than her attitude towards her husband.
Nanny Yuan and Princess Xianrong were obviously used to it and neither thought there was anything wrong. Nanny Yuan agreed and went out.
Only the Xianrong County Lady and her daughter were left in the room.
The bruises on Xianrong County Lady's neck were still shocking, but she didn't feel any pain now, nor was she worried about the scars. She knew her mother would always find a way to solve the problem for her. She was worried about something else: "Mother, please don't punish Hongying and Bailing... They are the only ones available to my daughter now. If you punish them too, how can I tell the people over there when I get married?"
Princess Chang'an felt angry and helpless when she realized that she had to consider all this. She poked her finger at her and said, "Now that you know all this, what were you doing then?! I told you again and again not to provoke Wei An, but you just wouldn't listen."
Xianrong County Lady knew she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and dared not speak. After a long while, she stammered and explained, "I didn't mean to do that, but Wei An is so abominable. He kept teasing me with words... I don't know why I couldn't control my emotions..."
Princess Chang'an sighed deeply. If she couldn't control her emotions like this, she would suffer in the future. But now that her daughter had just escaped from the gates of hell, she stopped scolding her and just nodded. She gave her some advice and then said, "This matter will not be spread to the Linjiang Palace."
Only then did Lady Xianrong heave a sigh of relief.
What she was afraid of was that the Linjiang Palace and Chu Jingxing would know about this and no longer pay attention to her, which would have some impact on this marriage.
She pulled her mother's sleeve, exhaled, and said to her mother softly, "Thank you, mother."
Princess Chang'an smiled bitterly and said, "Why thank you? Mother has lived her whole life just for you and your brother. If you are well, I will be well too."
After a pause, she continued, "Take good rest for the next two days. I'll ask someone to bring you some jade ointment when I get back. Don't leave any marks. As for Chu Jingxing, mother will help you solve it."
Xianrong County Lady agreed obediently and asked her, "What are you going to do?"
Although she was frightened and fainted, she still remembered her mother telling King Zheng and Wei An that there was a child in the Ming family.
If something like this is a lie, it will be exposed sooner or later.
If it is true, wouldn't it be a good deal for King Zheng and the Wei family
Princess Chang'an originally didn't want her to know these things, but after thinking about it, she felt that it wouldn't be a bad thing to let her daughter know more about these things from now on.
She can't protect her daughter forever.
If Lady Xianrong continues to be so naively confident and stupid, something bad will happen.
She cleared her throat and told Xianrong County Lady her plan. Seeing her momentary shock, she said, "That's why I said you are too naive to face Wei An. His every word and action is calculated, and not a word is said in vain. You have a lot to learn..."
Xianrong County Lady took a deep breath when she heard this, stood up from her arms and stared at her closely, asking her anxiously but with some hope: "Then... will she be fooled?"
She really hated Wei An.
This person cannot just wait to die peacefully. He can't just sit still and be trampled underfoot peacefully. He thinks about revenge all the time. He is born with a rebellious nature.
Anyone who poses a threat to her should die.
What's more, Wei An deserves to die like this.
She has seen myself at my worst, knows my worst side and secrets, and yet she is so capable. She is an unsettling existence. It would be great if I could destroy her.
Princess Chang'an glanced at her, with a cold and sarcastic smile: "No matter how smart she is, she is just a girl with limited knowledge. Even if she can see through my plan, there is Liu Biping, a huge tree behind her. Even the King of Zheng would find it difficult to deal with Liu Biping, let alone her?"
Xianrong County Lady couldn't help but cheer in a low voice and cursed softly: "If only she could really die!"
Wei An had designed a scheme for her and she was almost ruined in front of everyone. In Princess Chang'an's opinion, it was justified for her daughter to hate Wei An.
She did not blame her daughter any more, but only advised her: "You must be cautious in everything you do in the future, and never act on your own again."
This time, Princess Xianrong really listened to her mother's words and nodded seriously.
Wei An, who was plotted against by their mother, finally bid farewell to Prince Zheng and his wife and returned to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as she landed, the first thing she did was to see Old Madam Wei and tell her the news.
Old Madam Wei was so shocked by the news that she couldn't recover. She opened her mouth and couldn't react for a while. After a long time, she asked blankly: "An An, what did you just say? Say it again."
