The Second Master was an idle official, and it would be a lie to say that he really had no thoughts, but these thoughts were not greater than his reason and ambition, so he knew very well what to do and what not to do. Now, hearing what Mrs. Wei said, he shuddered unconsciously.
Everything that had happened recently seemed strange. He knew what Old Lady Wei meant and lowered his eyes.
The third master was more proactive than him, nodding in agreement with what Old Lady Wei said: "Mother, you are right. There must be a way out when the car reaches the mountain. I don't believe that a living person can be suffocated to death by urine..."
It was late at night, and the twinkling lights of the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion decorated the long path into a dark Milky Way. Old Madam Wei led Wei An through the lights and led her straight to the Zhaixing Tower, the highest point in the mansion. After watching the Third Master and his party walk away, she sat on the stone bench and waved to Wei An, "Sit down."
Wei An didn't know why Old Lady Wei brought her to the Zhaixing Tower after sending away the second and third masters. She was lost in thought as she looked at the lush banyan tree below.
Old Madam Wei touched her head, looked at the lights of thousands of houses through the railing in the moonlight, and suddenly turned to her and said, "Are you scared?"
No wonder such a dark-hearted and thick-skinned little girl could be so cautious, no wonder she seemed like a different person from the inside out, it turned out that she was carrying such a secret.
When you are young, you will easily regard a small matter that cannot be solved as more important than anything else. What's more, this matter is really more important than anything else. Old Mrs. Wei looked at Wei An, who was so thin that he was almost skin and bones, and sighed.
Wei An wanted to cry, but he didn't.
Peng Caichen once told her that Princess Anhe's tears made people feel pity, but her tears only made people feel disgusted. Since then, she rarely cried.
People who have someone to protect them naturally have the capital to lose control, while people who have no one to protect them even their tears are a burden.
She bit her lip to calm down for a while, then shook her head at Mrs. Wei: "I was very scared at first... but later I wasn't scared anymore." She thought for a moment, then said to Mrs. Wei: "At first I wanted to find out for myself... but I found that I couldn't do it. Mother couldn't ignore me. The resentment in her heart was probably growing day by day... I don't have time..."
She did ask Li Ma to go to Nanchang, but she was small and weak. Although she had the advantage of being reborn, she was not omnipotent and could not predict everyone's thoughts. If Wei Yangqing did not take her words seriously, it would alert the enemy and anger Princess Changning, and her future life would only become more passive.
Such a young girl, faced with such a big decision, could act as if nothing had happened for such a long time. Old Madam Wei was somewhat shocked by her mental state, and also felt a little distressed. She knew Wei An's situation too well. Her father didn't love her, and her mother didn't love her. Even she was indifferent to her in the past. How scared she must have been when she knew that Princess Changning was investigating her background...
Wei An breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat relieved.
The hardest decision was made, the hardest secret was told, and the heavy burden in her heart seemed to disappear in an instant.
If you can get killed by someone whether you stick your head out or hide your head, then what is there to be afraid of
She would rather die cleanly or lose everything than live in fear and tread on thin ice. She had had enough of that kind of life in her previous life.
Mrs. Wei stared at Wei An's eyes without blinking. She saw relief and openness in her eyes, but she didn't see any guilt or fear. After thinking for a moment, she said, "What you just said was incoherent. Tell me everything again in detail. When did you know that your mother suspected that you were not her daughter..."
Wei An lowered his head and told Mrs. Wei about Qiu Yun's situation, and then told her what happened afterwards: "That's all I know..." She took a deep breath: "I told you today for some selfish reasons - in fact, my grandmother was the first person to rush to Jianzhou, but I can't ask her..."
Old Mrs. Wei's expression softened a little. Looking at Wei An, who was kneeling on the ground like a green bamboo, she felt some genuine pity for him.
This girl really doesn't look like a child born by Princess Changning, who never cares about others. The reason why she didn't go to the old princess to confirm it was naturally because she was afraid that the old princess would get angry and even more afraid of irritating the old princess.
Old Madam Wei sighed, "But I can't give you an answer either." Seeing Wei An looking up with wet eyes, trying to hold back tears, she felt a little uncomfortable, but still shook her head at her, "When you were born, I was seriously ill. Even if I wasn't seriously ill, I wouldn't have cared about your mother... So I know nothing about what happened in Jianzhou..."
She paused again, then smiled and said, "But there is always a way to find out."
She found it a little unbelievable. If Wei An was not Princess Changning's child, why didn't Princess Changning kill Wei An given her intolerant personality
She is not a patient person. She actually allowed Wei An to live as her eldest daughter for ten years. What was her purpose
And if Wei An is really not Princess Changning’s child, whose child is he
There is no need for Princess Changning to pick up someone else's child and raise him...
She finally made a decision: "I'll ask Manager Lin to go to Nanchang to meet your father and hear what he has to say. Since Changning asked Madam Ge to come to Beijing to handle such a matter, he, as Changning's husband, must give me an explanation."
Nanny Li’s role is too light after all.
Moreover, no one knows a son better than his mother. No one knows her son's character better than her. As long as Princess Changning pays a little attention, he will always be able to cover up the matter with little effort.
The summer night breeze blew, and the sweet fragrance of gardenias wafted into people's noses. Wei An yawned, looked up at the face of Old Lady Wei, and asked her tentatively: "Grandma..." She paused, and changed the address: "Old lady, if I am really not my parents' child..."
She didn't say anything more, because she herself felt that it was understandable that it wasn't Princess Changning's child, but if even Wei Yangqing wasn't her father, then this matter was really too strange - it couldn't be that Wei Yangqing was willing to help others raise a child, right? Although he ignored her, he let her bear the name of Miss Wei Qi, and after all, he made her worry-free about food and clothing.
Mrs. Wei obviously had the same idea as her. She smiled and shook her head: "No matter what, you are always my granddaughter."
The two or three months of companionship cannot be said to be a long time, and it is a bit far-fetched to say that the relationship is deep. But to be realistic, Mrs. Wei really can't bear to be cruel to her face, not to mention that the current Wei Qi is the future Wei Qi... ...
Most of the updates on Qidian are 2,000 words per chapter... so my stories are not very short. The author said that he would not charge me for them. I will pay if I write them at the end of the chapter, but I only write a maximum of 100 words each time, so I should not charge him for them. But I have learned my lesson and will write less in the future. I'm sorry, don't be unhappy about this. I love you, you are all my little national treasures, muah.
