Old Mrs. Wei, who was far away in Tongzhou, had not received any letter from Hongdu. She waited for a few days, until Tongzhou was finally calm. She relaxed her tense nerves and told her servants to pack up and return to the capital.
At the same time, he asked Wei An, "Why did Nanny Li in your room disappear again?"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction and anger in her tone - since coming to Tongzhou, this Madam Li has been asking for leave constantly, and she has never seen a housekeeper working like this.
Thinking of the incident that happened to Wei An in Puci Temple and that Nanny Li was also away on leave, she sighed in her heart again.
Princess Changning is indeed an extremely willful person. Not only is she willful, but she is also cold-hearted. She can be so cruel to her own daughter.
Did she know what kind of life Wei An was leading in the capital? Did she ever think about Wei An's future
Or is he really fearless, believing that he could never be cruel to a blood-related child no matter what, and wants to rely on Wei An to get through to himself
That's so naive.
There are more than a hundred lives of the Ming family in between. Not to mention the deep blood feud, it is definitely unforgettable. It is impossible for her to have no grudges towards Princess Changning and her biological son Wei Yangqing.
Wei An felt a little hurt by the trace of pity in Old Madam Wei's eyes. He lowered his head and told Old Madam Wei about the matter of Madam Li: "It was my granddaughter who granted me the leave and asked her to go home to take a look. It seems that something happened to her grandson. I thought it would be the same with or without her..."
It's the same with or without her? Old Madam Wei looked at her deeply, and then she stopped asking, thinking of what Wei An said about her not being able to tell her some things. She frowned and said, "But a servant must always fulfill his duty. If she continues like this, you should change the steward in your room."
Wei An nodded his head and when he returned to his room, he saw Nanny Wang directing people to pack up, and he looked a little bored.
Nanny Wang came over to cheer her up: "When Nanny Li returns this time, she will definitely see the things we sent to her daughter, so you don't have to worry too much. As for Qinghe... there are so many people there, and there is nothing we can do..."
Not to mention that Qinghe's indenture contract was not in their hands. Even if it was in their hands, they could not report it to the police now, let alone alert Princess Changning, Princess Zhennan and others.
The more Nanny Wang thought about it, the more worried she became about her daughter. Looking at the unusually conspicuous dark circles under Wei An's fair face, she said with a hardened heart, "No matter what, since the Fifth Master didn't say anything, you just need to behave yourself and be a member of the Wei family!"
Wei An was amused by Nanny Wang's words. Seeing that Nanny Wang couldn't hide her worry on her face, he calmed down and smiled. He chatted with Nanny Wang for a while before going to Old Lady Wei.
All the things had been packed up. When Mrs. Wei saw that the eldest lady and Wei Yumin looked much better, the gloom in her heart dissipated a little. She was about to tell someone to harness the carriage when there was a commotion outside and a lot of noise.
The servants in the villa were all carefully selected and strictly followed the rules. Even when the Jinyiwei came to the house a few nights ago, there was not such a big noise. Old Mrs. Wei was shocked but showed no expression on her face. She calmly ordered Nanny Hua to go out and see what was going on.
Before Aunt Hua could leave, Aunt Ge came in with a pale face. She was always calm, but even her eyes were stiff. She looked at Old Madam Wei trembling like a leaf in the autumn wind. It took her a while to calm down. She replied with chattering teeth: "Old Madam! They are outside again... Those killers are here again..."
Old Mrs. Wei's temples throbbed twice and she sneered after a while. Before she could react, a man's rough yet gloomy voice was heard outside.
"Madam Wei, I have been ordered to arrest someone!"
Cao Wen's voice was quite unscrupulous, even a little leisurely. Through the window, Mrs. Wei seemed to be able to see the smile on his face that was like a cat playing with a mouse. She immediately lowered her voice: "Who is Lord Cao going to take?!"
Wei An's heart suddenly sank.
Could it be that Shen Chen's refuge was a setup, he deliberately threw out the bait of the Ming family's past to coax old lady Wei, in order to find out the details, do something in the other village, and lure the Jinyiwei? !
If so, then the matter is simple. The black hand behind this is most likely the Linjiang Palace...
The window was pushed open with a bang, and Cao Wen's sloppy and extremely annoying face appeared in front of everyone. He admired the expressions of the people in the room with great interest for a moment, and then he leaned on the windowsill with both hands and said frivolously: "Looking for assassins, I forgot last night that there are still two or three places that I haven't searched. My people saw the assassins coming to your house with their own eyes, but I didn't find them. No matter how I think about it, it seems wrong. I'd like to trouble the old lady to do me a favor and let me search again."
He came in without notice, with a weapon drawn and blood on his body. How could he be asking for help? It was obvious that he was suspicious or had received some information and was afraid that the Wei family would be prepared.
Old Madam Wei reacted immediately: "I didn't know that the Jinyiwei had different factions when searching places. Young Master Lin searched twice, and you have to search again?"
Cao Wen sneered in his heart, knowing that this old man was trying to trick him by deliberately bringing up the fact that Lin San had already been searched. He waved his hand to fan himself without any fear: "We are working for the emperor, so we should be on the safe side. Besides..." He dragged out his voice: "Besides, everyone knows that your family has an old grudge with the Zheng Wang family. Maybe you guys are the ones who attacked and hurt people. You never know what's going on in this world, right? Why not let us search and prove your innocence?"
This running dog!
Old Madam Wei's face was very gloomy: "What if we can't find it?"
Cao Wen stared at Old Madam Wei with a pair of eyes that seemed to want to kill someone, and after a while he said calmly: "If you can't find it, then everyone will be happy, right?"
After three consecutive searches, I don't know what the people in the capital think! Besides, Cao Wen was so sure, who knows if someone did something in the other village. Old Mrs. Wei was alarmed: "How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? Did other places search so many times like ours? The Fang family and the Liang family? If not, does Lord Cao think that our Wei family is so weak that it can be bullied? Is he deliberately bullying us, an orphan and a widow?"
Cao Wen couldn't help but burst out laughing, pointed at his nose, and then pointed at the room: "Me? Bullying you orphans and widows?" He laughed exaggeratedly: "If you want to talk about bullying, how do you bully? I don't have that kind of hobby. I have no interest in married people. But this person next to me..."
