She soon stopped talking. No matter what, the wife of Marquis Ping'an had already come to her house, and she couldn't just chase her away, right
Besides, since they are close friends, I have to mention it to Old Lady Wei. It's her business whether to meet or not, but if I, as her daughter-in-law, fail to fulfill my responsibilities, it would be my fault.
As she was thinking this, she soon arrived at He'an Courtyard again. After Qingyu went in to report, she went in and whispered to Old Madam Wei that the wife of Marquis Ping'an had come uninvited and wanted to see her.
Old Mrs. Wei was startled and glanced at the Third Madam. After she was sure that the Third Madam had not given the wrong name, her face darkened and her eyes were extremely complicated for a moment.
So many years had passed quietly, and she thought she would never have any contact with these people in this life, but who knew that she would still come after all.
She frowned and wanted to say no, but in the end she stopped the Third Madam and said to her, "Please bring him in."
The third lady answered yes, and seeing her complicated expression, she became even more curious about the relationship between the two. But although she was curious, she had no intention of asking, and she left in a hurry.
Wei An looked at Old Mrs. Wei strangely.
Old Madam Wei chuckled and told her, "She is indeed my best friend. Her father was the prefect of Qujing, Yunnan, and served for six consecutive years. She was much younger than me, and I held her in my arms when she was in her cradle. We played together from childhood. Later, I married your grandfather, and her father came to the capital, so we interacted more often. Later... something happened... So we gradually lost contact. I don't know what she is doing here at this time."
Mrs. Wei said it lightly, but Wei An knew that things were definitely not that simple.
No matter how great the disaster that the Ming family suffered, and how difficult life was for Old Madam Wei at that time, I have never heard of any of her close friends or old acquaintances ever reaching out to her.
What kind of handkerchief friendship is this? I'm afraid they are just using the name of old friends to ask for something.
But if you say you have something to ask for, it's a bit strange.
Nowadays, the Ping'an Marquis Mansion is very popular. The Saint trusts the Ping'an Marquis Mansion very much. Not only did he promote the father and son of the Ping'an Marquis Mansion, he also continued the title of the Ping'an Marquis Mansion for two more generations.
This is a rare honor. In these turbulent times, the Ping'an Marquis Mansion can now walk sideways.
What could they ask for from the Wei family at this time
The Wei family has nothing for them to ask for.
But since Old Madam Wei wanted to see guests, Wei An glanced at Prince Zheng and Third Young Master Shen Chenlin and said softly, "Since Grandma wants to entertain guests, why don't we go out? We can also walk around."
Prince Zheng originally came to ask Concubine Lin Shu about sending Master Xie yesterday. Anyway, asking Old Madam Wei was the same as asking Wei An, so he nodded and stood up.
Then he glanced at the two bastards.
Really, I came earlier than him.
Are these two people afraid that they won’t be able to snatch his daughter away
Everyone is working so hard.
He glared at Shen Chen, then looked at Young Master Lin, coughed and began to chase people away: "It's getting late, and it's almost time for lunch. Young Master Lin must be very busy. Ah Chen, you should also go to the palace, right? I just came out of the palace, and the emperor is looking for you, so you all should go."
Wei An then glanced at King Zheng.
However, Prince Zheng looked at Shen Chen and Young Master Lin as if to say, "I'm clearly trying to drive you away, so why are you still so ignorant?"
Lin Sanshao and Shen Chen did not move. The three of them were in a stalemate for a while, and Shen Chen coughed to remind King Zheng: "Well... just now the old lady told me to stay for lunch, so I won't leave, right?"
King Zheng stared and asked, "Is this true?"
Young Master Lin also lowered his head: "Just now the old lady did ask me to stay for dinner. The guard post is not busy now, so I will stay as well."
Bastard!
King Zheng chuckled, told the two of them to do what they were supposed to do, and led Wei An to the garden.
The gardenias in the garden were in full bloom, and the fallen petals covered the ground. King Zheng stepped on them, retracting his attitude towards Shen Chen and Young Master Lin, and asked Wei An, "An An, what do you think?"
Wei An didn't know what to say, so he remained silent.
Prince Zheng glanced at her, thought for a while, and then said, "Shen Chen and Young Master Lin are both very good people. Not to mention their family backgrounds, at least they are good people. Shen Chen looks like a playboy, but he has never been a playboy. Young Master Lin is even more so. He is also a principled person. I feel at ease with either of them. Now it depends on what you think and how you choose."
He stood there for a while before continuing, "You didn't grow up with me, and I've always felt guilty about you. I also know that you've always been a child with your own opinions, but this is a major event in life, so father hopes that you can consider it carefully. No matter which one you choose, the most important thing is that you really like it. Only when you like each other can you live a good life."
Wei An waited a long time before he hummed.
If she was asked to choose, she had no idea what to choose.
King Zheng did not force her. Seeing that she had almost finished talking, he changed the subject: "Yesterday, the emperor ordered me to leave in three days. Now that one day has passed, I will leave the day after tomorrow. You are alone in the capital, so be careful about everything."
Wei An responded and reminded him: "You have to be careful in Jiangxi as well."
Although King Linjiang is an ally, sometimes things change rapidly and no one knows which direction things will develop, so it is better to be cautious.
King Zheng said he knew, then laughed again, telling Wei An about how Shen Chen and Third Young Master Lin tried to please him, and at the end he said with a bit of complacency: "Don't worry, I didn't reveal anything, I just said I respect your intentions."
Wei An felt helpless.
Prince Zheng still solemnly reminded her again: "Father is serious. Time is running out. If you want to decide on a candidate, do it sooner rather than later. Now that Third Young Master Lin has shown his intention and Shen Chen has also mentioned it to His Majesty, no matter which one it is, you have to choose one. Otherwise, you should tell me earlier so that I can shirk the responsibility with His Majesty. Otherwise, it will be too late."
No matter whether it is Shen Chen or Young Master Lin, Emperor Longqing will definitely fulfill his wishes.
Of course, looking at the current situation, the chances of fulfilling Shen Chen's wish are probably greater. After all, King Linjiang has always been good to Shen Chen, and Chu Jingwu follows Shen Chen's lead.
No matter from which perspective, it is always right to be nicer to Shen Chen.
But these words were not suitable to be said to his daughter. King Zheng patted his daughter's head and looked at his daughter with emotion. It seemed that she had grown from a bud into a fresh flower in the blink of an eye. It took him a long time to smile.
