At that time, the young Marquis Rongchang risked his life to save Emperor Longqing during the earthquake.
Just from this one thing, we can see that this person is not a fool.
Otherwise, how could he have turned his fortune around with this incident and become a favored person in front of Emperor Longqing
Since he was not a fool, there was no need for him to break his legs for the wishes of an insignificant princess and risk offending the Wei family and Shen Chen.
Unless he is crazy.
So, this means that this matter is most likely just Feng Shuyuan’s own idea.
She was getting older and older. Even though she was only two years older than Marquis Rongchang, filial piety to her father and mother had ultimately wasted too much of her time. She was now eighteen years old. At the age of eighteen, many noble ladies even had a child.
But she is still unmarried.
How could she not be anxious
At the age of eighteen, she probably wanted to use Princess Yonghe to find a husband of her dreams.
But for her own future, she was willing to give up even her own brother's legs.
She has grown old, but her brain has not grown with her. She probably still thinks that the current Rongchang Marquis is still the young and helpless Rongchang Marquis of the past, and she can control him at will.
Of course, if the Wei family did not fight back, Marquis Rongchang would probably have to endure it.
But how could the Wei family just sit there and wait for death
Wei An laughed out loud, but his eyes were extremely cold as he said, "She is courting death. If she wants to take the blame for deceiving the emperor, she should ask the opinion of Marquis Rongchang and his wife."
Old Madam Wei understood and could not help but feel a little surprised. She became even more disgusted with Feng Shuyuan: "Princess Yonghe can actually use such a ruthless person. They are really a nest of snakes and rats, working together for evil."
These people don't take other people's lives seriously in the first place. Those who are high and mighty certainly don't know that other people's lives are also lives.
Wei An was in a bad mood to begin with, and she lost even more patience when she heard Princess Yonghe and Feng Shuyuan talking. She told Lin Hai directly, "The city gates are closed now, and it's too late for you to go in. Go into the city early tomorrow morning and deliver a letter to Young Master Lin for me. Make sure you deliver it to him personally."
Lin Hai was stunned by Wei An's speed of response. He quickly responded with a "yes" after hearing Wei An's order.
Wei An then said, "Everyone in the mansion must abide by the rules and not go around asking for information. You go back and let Third Aunt and the others rest assured."
Lin Hai felt relieved, and all his previous worries and uneasiness were gone. He agreed loudly and followed Nanny Hua to the outer courtyard to rest.
Mrs. Wei turned around and looked at Wei An: "Have you thought of a solution?"
Wei An hummed, and tapped his fingers twice on the black lacquered tabletop before stopping. He said calmly, "Marquis Rongchang and his wife are a young couple. I met his wife before when I went to the mansion of Marquis Rongchang to keep an appointment. She can't make the decision in their family. Everything is decided by Feng Shuyuan. I don't believe she is really a living Bodhisattva who can tolerate such a irritating sister-in-law's hindrance. Let's start with her."
Old Madam Wei naturally knew that there had always been grudges between sisters-in-law since ancient times, especially unmarried sisters-in-law, who would easily make the new daughter-in-law angry.
When there is no opportunity, you should naturally endure it as much as possible to avoid causing unrest in the family.
But if the opportunity comes to them, how many new wives would let go of the chance to be the head of the family
Feng Shuyuan is a sarcastic and mean person who will do anything to achieve her goals. She is exactly like her aunt, the imperial concubine. She has a strong desire to control her brother and has often embarrassed and made things difficult for the wife of Marquis Rongchang.
The entry point that Wei An thought of was really good.
She rubbed her brows and said with some tiredness and annoyance, "Feng Shuyuan has been jumping around for long enough. I'm afraid that the previous admonition from Concubine De still didn't make her remember the lesson. You did the right thing. Since she is so cruel, why should we show mercy to her? She has been arrogant enough in recent years."
And there is Princess Yonghe.
We must let them know that the Wei family is not easy to bully.
If one lesson is not enough, then teach them two, three, and if that is still not enough, then make them pay a higher price, until they can’t afford it, and then they will probably understand the lesson.
She picked up the candlelight with a hairpin and said casually, "It's such a coincidence that I ran into Princess Yonghe returning to the palace when I returned to Beijing this time. Do you think she has something to do with what happened in Jingxi?"
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that troubles would come one after another
But Princess Yonghe doesn't seem to have that ability...
Although she was a princess, she was an unmarried princess and did not even have a princess's mansion. She was not as capable as the previous Princess Changying and Princess Chang'an.
Wei An also shook his head: "It shouldn't be her. If Queen Fang was still alive, maybe it would be possible. Without Queen Fang, Princess Yonghe would just be an ordinary princess. I thought about it, if there is really a relationship, then the most likely one is Concubine Peng De."
Speaking of this, her voice was particularly cold: "This time Princess Yonghe returned to the palace, she must have obtained her permission------with the relationship between Concubine Shu and us, it is impossible for her to take the initiative to bring Princess Yonghe back. In the final analysis, it was Concubine De who wanted Princess Yonghe to come out."
Old Madam Wei nodded: "She wants to use Princess Yonghe to deal with us, but we don't have anything worthy of her attack..."
"Yes," Wei An knew it well, "We will soon become relatives with the Linjiang Palace. Of course, this doesn't matter, after all, the Linjiang Palace Concubine is the sister of Concubine De. But what matters is that we have a good relationship with Concubine Lin Shu, and an especially good relationship with Young Master Lin."
Old Madam Wei understood immediately, and her expression became complicated and solemn: "If that's the case, then someone made Concubine Peng De think that Shen Chen was on Concubine Lin Shu's side..."
Otherwise, no matter how you look at it, Shen Chen should be from the Linjiang Palace.
Who wants to use Concubine Peng De to deal with Shen Chen
Is it Princess Linjiang or Concubine Yu
Or was it that Concubine Peng De herself saw Shen Chen as a thorn in her side and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible
But no matter who it is, Princess Linjiang or someone else, now they can only take it one step at a time and deal with it as it happens.
"Young Master Lin won't do it properly." Old Madam Wei closed her eyes. "Don't think too much about it now. Just get through this hurdle first. As for the Xie family, don't worry too much. They won't waste these three hundred thousand taels of silver if they catch him."
Wei An nodded. She was patient and would wait for these foxes to show their tails one by one.
