The one who came to the Feng family this time was a housekeeper who looked quite respectable. She wore gold and silver on her head, of extraordinary quality, and on her wrist was a shining pure gold bracelet with a peony pattern on it, all of which showed her status.
Old Madam Wei asked someone to give her a seat and asked her, "What brings you here so suddenly? What brings you here?"
The Feng family of Rongchang Marquis was on the rise again. Old Madam Wei didn't want to cause any more trouble at this critical juncture, so she was very polite to her.
The nanny smiled kindly, her plump face full of joy, looking at her made people feel close to her. She waved her hand and said quickly, "I don't deserve the old lady's words..."
She smiled, and before Old Lady Wei asked again, she quickly explained her purpose: "This is it, our young lady sent me to deliver a letter to the young ladies in your house."
She took out the red and gold-embossed postcard with both hands and presented it to him, saying softly, "The 17th of this month is our girl's coming-of-age day. The master of ceremonies and the sponsor have already been found. Princess Yonghe and Princess Yongqing will both be in attendance..."
But the two families have never had any friendship.
Old Mrs. Wei looked at the post in her hand solemnly and did not agree.
The nanny seemed to know what Old Lady Wei was thinking, and hurriedly added, "Our girl said that she had always heard that Princess Shouning was easy to get along with and a wonderful woman, and she had always wanted to make friends with her, so she took the liberty of sending an invitation, hoping that Princess Shouning would do her the honor of going."
Old Madam Wei smiled and said calmly, "I'm afraid that we will disappoint Miss Feng's kindness. An An has always had a strange temper and I'm afraid she will offend you." Without waiting for the maid to speak, she continued, "Besides, we will be traveling far away the day after tomorrow, so it's really not appropriate for her to go out to meet guests. I'm afraid that we will disappoint Miss Feng's kindness."
The nanny had obviously expected that Old Lady Wei would refuse, so she was not too surprised. She just smiled and said, "Ms. Chen will also go that day, so the princess won't be alone... They have a good relationship, and they are sisters-in-law, so they will have company together, don't you think?"
Mrs. Wei's eyes became profound.
What does this mean? !
Saying that Chen Mianmian would also go, was he threatening her? !
The nanny didn't care about Mrs. Wei's anger at all. She still looked at Mrs. Wei with a smile on her face and said softly, "This is a happy event. The princess has been in the capital for such a long time and has no friends. How can this be possible? Our girl also sincerely wants to invite the princess to be the guest."
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
But Feng Shuyuan didn't seem to care that they knew she had bad intentions.
Old Madam Wei sneered, "Why, I didn't know that the Feng family had become a golden rule. If we don't go, will it be against the law?"
This matter is serious when it comes to talking about it.
The maid's expression changed, she restrained her posture a little, lowered her head and shook her head, saying: "That's not what I meant, it's just... Madam Defei said that she got along well with our girl, and she thought Princess Shouning was also a good person. In the palace, only Princess Zheng could keep her company. For this reason, she wanted Princess Shouning to get close to our girl..."
Even Concubine Peng De was carried out.
Mrs. Wei showed no emotion on her face, but her heart gradually sank.
Yes, the relationship between the Peng family and the Feng family has been very harmonious recently.
For this reason, they had to give face to the Feng family. After all, you have to know that Concubine Peng De is now the most popular person among the popular people. Even without Empress Fang, the Fifth Prince is her own child. Although she is not the Empress, she already acts like one.
Old Madam Wei slowly closed her eyes, and after a moment she calmly opened them again, hummed and said, "I see. In that case, I will bother you."
After sending the maid away, Old Lady Wei looked at Wei An who came out from the east room and asked her, "Did you hear that?"
Wei An seemed to be thinking about something. He stood there watching the nanny's back and hummed softly.
"We have no contact with the Feng family, but they sent us an invitation out of the blue, and even mentioned Concubine Peng De." Old Madam Wei was a little worried: "Could it be because of what happened with the Peng family? Is Concubine Peng De still holding a grudge against the Peng family?"
Wei An did not deny it: "It's not impossible. Concubine De has always been a very fussy person. She didn't bother with me before, but it was just because she didn't want to. After all, she still had to deal with Queen Fang and the others, which exhausted her mentally and physically. But now that she has some free time, she should naturally think about clearing the family's name."
Human greed is always endless. Once you have this, you will want that. It will never stop.
Concubine Peng De was powerless before and could not resist the decision of Emperor Longqing.
But once she becomes capable, she will not be willing to be without a maternal family. If a person becomes successful but does not have the support of her maternal family, wouldn't that be like walking in the night with clothes full of glory
Old Madam Wei looked even more worried: "If this is true, things will be complicated. It seems that our trip to Fujian will be in trouble again. But if we delay any further, it may be too late."
Not only will something unexpected happen in Fujian and the child might get into trouble, but even here in the capital city, there will be chaos. If that happens, it will be extremely difficult for them to go to Fujian.
"Not necessarily." Wei An calmed down and looked at Old Madam Wei. After Old Madam Wei calmed down, he said, "If Empress Defei doesn't allow us to leave, we really can't leave. But once she lets us go, we will definitely be able to leave."
Old Madam Wei was a little confused: "But in the current situation, Concubine De is clearly trying to cause trouble and won't let us leave. To put it nicely, it's a coming-of-age ceremony and they want you to go and watch it. To put it bluntly, it's a Hongmen Banquet. Who knows what tricks will be waiting for you if you go there?"
Wei An also knew this, but his expression did not change: "Even if this is the case, we have no other choice. If the king wants the subject to die, the subject must die. Moreover, they have clearly stated that if I don't go, they will use Chen Mianmian as a scapegoat. In this case, it is better for me to go. Nothing will happen."
Wei An looked at Old Lady Wei and said word by word: "I will be very careful."
The reason behind Feng Shuyuan's post is inexplicable, and it is definitely not a good post.
But she is also a princess and an important figure now. If she dies, without a suitable reason, Emperor Longqing will not be able to explain to Prince Zheng. For this reason, those people will restrain themselves.
Even if you really want to punish her, you have to frame her with a crime.
But those people might not get what they want, because she is not the kind of person who would sit and wait to die.
