Not only that, the third master interrupted and said, "The most important thing is to erase those previous traces. From now on, we should do legitimate business. This will also benefit future generations."
Old Mrs. Wei hummed.
Wei Rui then whispered, "Master Xie has another urgent letter, saying that he wants to send it to the princess."
Xie Liangcheng and Wei An have always had a very good relationship, but Xie Liangcheng is a man of measure. He has never sent an urgent letter to Wei An alone. Old Mrs. Wei knew that something had happened. She couldn't help but glance at Wei Rui and asked, "Where is the person who sent the letter?"
Wei Rui immediately reacted: "He is from the Xie family in Jingxi. I heard that he has been following Master Xie for a long time. I have kept him here."
Old Madam Wei nodded: "Bring him back and we'll talk about it when An An comes back later."
Wei Rui agreed to go out. Seeing that Old Lady Wei was not in good spirits, the second and third masters also said goodbye one after another. However, Old Lady Wei refused to rest and frowned at Aunt Hua: "I always feel that something might have happened again..."
Aunt Hua knew that she was worried about Wei An, and hurriedly advised her: "The young lady is a person with her own opinions. Since she said she is not afraid, then she is not afraid... As for Master Xie, he used to write to the young lady frequently. It doesn't mean that something has really happened. Besides, even if something has happened, there is always a way to solve it. Don't worry too much."
How can I not worry
Old Mrs. Wei couldn't help but sigh.
Wei An had never met Feng Shuyuan before, and Princess Yonghe was a royal daughter. With these two people, plus Concubine Peng De who had ulterior motives, no matter how smart Wei An was, it would be difficult for him to deal with them.
But there was no point in worrying anymore. Old Madam Wei glanced at the clock on the wall and finally agreed to let Aunt Hua take a nap. She then instructed Aunt Hua: "If there is any news from An An, remember to wake me up in time."
Aunt Hua responded and reminded her, "It's the coming-of-age ceremony. Just watching the ceremony will take a while. I heard there will be some flower and literary gatherings. If this happens, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back before nightfall. You can just rest assured and rest."
At this time, Wei An had just arrived at the Rongchang Marquis Mansion.
The Rongchang Marquis Mansion has been passed down for four or five generations. This mansion was bestowed by Taizu during the reign of Emperor Taizu. It is a large house with five entrances and seven frames. The hanging flower gate is covered with green ivy everywhere, but it does not look messy. It shows the elegance of a noble family, but does not have a stale atmosphere, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Because it was a coming-of-age ceremony, the wife of the previous generation of the Feng family, the Marquis of Rongchang, had passed away due to illness, and there was no woman of the same age from the direct branch of the Feng family, so the guests were entertained by the wife of the new Marquis of Rongchang and her mother, and as a family friend, the wife of the Earl of Huairen also came to help.
When Lady Huairen saw Wei An, she smiled kindly and patted Wei An's hand gently: "Are you okay, old lady?"
She used to be very harsh with her words, but after what happened in the capital, she changed her temper. Knowing that Shen Chen and Young Master Lin were both keeping an eye on the Wei family, she no longer dared to speak rudely.
Wei An was also happy that there was one less person he had to deal with, and he smiled in agreement: "Thank you for your concern, Madam. Grandmother is in good health."
Marquis Huairen’s wife didn’t say anything more. She just expressed her good intentions. If she said more, it would seem too deliberate. So she smiled and let Wei An in. “The girls are playing under the flower stand inside. They are planning to take a boat ride. The lake water in the Marquis’ Mansion is brought in from the canal…”
Wei An agreed with a smile, and when they entered the second gate, a maid came up and led them inside.
The first generation Rongchang Marquis was a rough man. After taking over the mansion, while other nobles were still busy tidying up the mansion, he did nothing but built his own martial arts arena.
Therefore, the Rongchang Marquis Mansion still retains its former appearance. After so many years, the flowers, plants and trees have become more lush, showing a kind of ancient beauty.
The big banyan tree next to the arch bridge is so big that it requires six or seven people to hug it. Its branches are thick enough for people to stand on them. Squirrels appear among them from time to time. There are also unknown purple flowers entwined on them. From a distance, it looks like a fairy mountain flower tree with colorful flowers. Under the tree, girls wearing beautiful clothes and skirts are standing or standing, adding luster to the beautiful scenery.
Before Wei An stepped onto the arch bridge, a girl in red came down quickly. When she saw Wei An, she looked at him for a while and then smiled: "Greetings to the princess. It is better to meet her in person than to hear about her. I have heard that the princess is beautiful. Now I see that she is indeed as beautiful as her reputation."
She smiled, and then continued, "A daughter is sought after by hundreds of families. The princess is so beautiful. If I were Young Master Lin or Marquis Pingxi, I would probably be tempted as well."
The news that Young Master Lin and Marquis of Pingxi Shen Chen were proposing to Princess Shouning had been widely spread recently, but with the publicity given by the host of the banquet, it might spread even more widely.
Wei An gave her a meaningful look and smiled: "Seeing is believing. I heard that Miss Feng is as brave as a man, supporting the Feng family and winning the favor of the Empress De. Now it seems that you are so good at talking. No wonder the Empress De loves you and even His Highness condescended to come to watch the ceremony."
The smile in Feng Shuyuan's eyes froze. She said that Wei An was a troublemaker and a femme fatale. Wei An then said that she was a hen that crowed at dawn, and hinted that she had achieved her current glory by flattering Concubine Peng De. She was really a person who would not suffer any loss.
With such a sharp tongue, it's no wonder that Princess Xianrong and Li Gui Niang both became enemies with her.
But she is so beautiful, and beautiful people are difficult to deal with. If someone becomes her love rival, of course she must be eliminated as soon as possible.
She smiled, suppressed her anger, and calmly changed the subject: "Mianmian is here too, and is talking to them in front. I still have to prepare for the ceremony later, so I'll excuse myself first."
Wei An nodded.
She knew that the person who was going to deal with her this time was not Feng Shuyuan, but Princess Yonghe.
But it was a little unbearable to have the knife stuck in the flesh and still want to go deeper.
Chen Mianmian was watching others fishing on the bridge. When she saw Wei An, she quickly walked towards her and was a little worried: "Why did you really come?"
She glanced around, held her hand and shook it gently: "I heard that Princess Yonghe and the others will be here soon..."
It seems that everyone knows Princess Yonghe's hostility towards her.
Wei An smiled helplessly and whispered in her ear jokingly: "Such a big event, even my future sister-in-law is invited. I can't help but how can I do it?"
Chen Mianmian became even more worried: "But... you also know that they have bad intentions..."
