"Want to discuss?" Wei An smiled leisurely and threw a letter of engagement on the table: "Take a look at what this is and think about it. Is there any room for negotiation?"
Mrs. Yuan Er stared at Wei An in surprise. The gold-embossed engagement letter was right on the table, but for some reason, she didn't dare to reach out to take it.
It was not until Wei An coughed that she made up her mind to reach out and take it in her hand. She was stunned when she opened it.
This is her son's birth date.
Because the time of birth was not good, the son's birth date and time of birth were specially calculated by a master. The master said that only the parents should know the calculated birth date and time, and they can take it out when they are talking about marriage in the future.
But she didn't take it out at all - because she didn't like that fierce girl at all.
She looked down on it, but her son's birth certificate was already here.
What this means is self-evident.
Wei An smiled coldly, and seeing that Mrs. Yuan Er seemed to be losing her balance, he kindly said, "Look, Princess Chang'an doesn't think of herself as her sister-in-law."
The second master did not consider her as his wife either.
Marriage has always been a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words since ancient times, but the second master actually bypassed her and arranged a marriage for her son with Princess Chang'an.
How ridiculous!
"What do you want to know?" Mrs. Yuan wiped her tears and sat back in her seat, asking in a hoarse voice, "You are not looking for me just because you are kind and want to tell me that my husband is having an affair with..."
Mrs. Yuan Er thought these two people were disgusting and didn't even want to mention their names.
Wei An winked at Lan He, and Lan He retreated with Yu Qing. Mrs. Yuan Er did not hesitate and asked a nanny who was following her to retreat, and then looked at Wei An.
"I have something to ask you." Wei An said softly, "I hope that no one else will know about these things except you and me."
Mrs. Yuan Er didn't say anything.
Wei An then added: "As a reward, I will do my best to help you turn down this marriage that you don't like. And maybe I can also ensure that Princess Chang'an and the second master will stop having any contact in the future. What do you think?"
Mrs. Yuan Er was silent for a while, and finally nodded silently.
Wei An did not waste any more time and asked a few important questions.
Mrs. Yuan Er didn't know many things, but there were some things she knew very well.
For example, Princess Chang'an trusted several retainers in her mansion very much. For example, Princess Chang'an did not have a very good relationship with the Yuan family. Just a few years ago, she had a big quarrel with Old Master Yuan and parted ways unpleasantly, which caused Old Master Yuan to die of depression.
But there was one thing she was sure of. When Old Master Yuan came back from Yunnan, he was followed by a servant named Pang. Old Master Yuan initially wanted to find a job for him in the Yulin Guard, but for some reason it didn't work out.
After many twists and turns, no one knew where this man surnamed Pang was sent to.
Because people were in panic at that time, everyone thought that going to Yunnan would be dangerous, so they were deeply impressed by the situation when Old Master Yuan returned.
Wei An had already asked all the questions he wanted to ask, and quickly sent Mrs. Yuan away. He solemnly instructed Zhao Qi, "Keep a close eye on the Chang'an Princess's Mansion... ... Pay special attention to the people who come in and out of the Chang'an Princess's Mansion in the past two days."
Although Prince Zheng has sent people, they are probably not enough for the cunning Princess Chang'an.
Zhao Qi nodded and accepted the order.
After Wei An returned home, he went straight to He'an Courtyard and told Mrs. Yuan Er all the news he had learned. He said softly: "What we can confirm now is that this child does exist, and the person surnamed Pang also does exist..."
"These two things are enough." Mrs. Wei thought about it and felt her temples throbbing violently: "We need to find the person first."
Regardless of anything else, this child is the most important thing.
Wei An knew that Old Lady Wei was anxious and worried, so he held her hand and shook it to reassure her: "Don't worry, I know all this. She gave us the information, and if she didn't want us to find it, she would have done something wrong. I have already asked people to keep an eye on every move of the Princess Chang'an's mansion..."
The people under her are all trustworthy and capable. Old Madam Wei is not too worried about this. She nodded palely and said, "We must find the person before she takes action. Otherwise, we will be too cautious to do anything."
This child is indispensable to both Old Lady Wei and Prince Zheng. Princess Chang'an must understand this very well, and she will not let go so easily.
And now, it's time to compete in speed.
Old Madam Wei thought about it and gave up the idea of asking the Emperor and Empress for help. This news must not be spread to the public. Once it is spread to the public, it will easily cause unnecessary troubles. If someone with ulterior motives tries to fish in troubled waters, it will be more trouble than gain. No matter what, it is still safer to have the person in your hands.
She glanced outside and said with a complicated look, "Before, I always complained that God was unfair, but now it seems that he is not unfair."
Wei An smiled and held onto Old Lady Wei's hand: "I only believe that man can conquer nature."
After thinking for a while, he summoned Lin Yue in front of Old Lady Wei and told him, "Tell Tan Xi to take his men to leave Beijing and go to Qujing."
Lin Yue was a little surprised. He scratched his head and said in confusion: "Aren't we going to Fujian soon?"
Qujing is more than a thousand miles away from the capital. If I really go to Qujing, how can I accompany Wei An to Fujian then
Wei An smiled and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, we are going to Qujing. Tell Tan Xi that if anyone tries to find out the news, just say that we are going to Qujing to look for someone. Don't say anything else."
The eldest princess only told them roughly the whereabouts of the Ming family's child. The most reasonable thing for the Wei family to do, of course, was to send someone to look for the child at all costs.
If I don't go, I'll arouse suspicion.
Old Mrs. Wei felt that Wei An handled the situation thoughtfully. She breathed a sigh of relief with a hint of a smile on her face.
Lin Yue agreed smartly, and without wasting a moment, turned around and went to find Tan Xi.
At this time, Chu Jingxing was drinking tea in Princess Linjiang's courtyard.
Princess Linjiang had just come out of the palace: "I've been tossing and turning for two or three days. Now I can finally sit down and take a breath."
Chu Jingxing smiled and peeled a longevity fruit for her to eat. After hearing what she said, he said, "I'll be busy again in a few days."
"That's right." Princess Linjiang picked up a piece of longevity fruit from the agate plate and ate it. She smiled and said, "But it was for my son's wedding. Even though I was tired, I was willing to do it."
