At that time, it was still raining outside, and the corner of Shen Cangfeng's robe was stained with mud. After entering the room, he talked to Wei Changying and went into the inner room to change his clothes.
Mrs. Wan saw him coming back, so she declined Wei Changying's invitation for lunch and retreated.
As soon as Shen Cangfeng came out, Wei Changying said, "Just now when I was paying my respects to mother, the Su Family sent a message, saying that grandmother had fainted...Did you know it from our father?"
Shen Cangfeng took a sip of the Agarwood drink in front of Wei Changying, who had drunk a small amount of it. Shen Cangfeng then said with a solemn face, "I just heard that. Our father had asked my eldest brother to go and have a look. We are newly married now, and it is not convenient for us to go out." Newlyweds were not supposed to call on other people, except that they were on duty.
Therefore, whether it was the matter wit
The second day was the time for Wei Changying to return to her parents' home. Madam Su was visiting her mother in her mothers' house, and she had stayed overnight. Shen Xuan had gone to the court in the morning. When the new couple went out, it was inevitably a little quiet and cheerless—Only Mrs. Liu came over to them and emphasized something. As soon as she gave the two an account of the presents prepared for their return, she hurried away again.The rain hadn't stopped yet this day, so Shen Cangfeng took the carriage with his wife.The carriage wandered out of the Grand Preceptor's Mansion. The streets of the capital outside the chiffon curtains were spacious and clean. The roads, where pedestrians came and passed by, were lined with pagoda trees and willows. The capital was much more prosperous than Fengzhou and the two cities had different styles and atmosphere.... The capital was so vibrant that it couldn't be detected at all that there
After all, both sides were strangers to each other, not really like a familiar uncle or nephew. So after talking about Wei Shengxian, there was nothing to say. After a short lunch at Wei mansion, Wei Changying excused herself on the pretext that Old Madam Deng was ill and her mother-in-law was not home, so she shouldn't go back late. She declined her uncle and aunt's invitation to stay, said goodbye to them, and left with Shen Cangfeng.When she returned to the Grand Preceptor's mansion, she saw Mrs. Wan standing under the eaves, seemingly waiting, and asked if she had something to say.Mrs. Wan reported, "Just now first young madam asked someone to come to tell me that Lvqiao from the second young master's branch had a miscarriage."“What?" Her face turned gloomy. This was really one thing after another. She had just got married when her husband's grandmother fell ill, and now there was a miscarriage in the family. She got into a bad mood but
Wei Changying followed his example, not being afraid of his threats, and sneered, "Outside of this door, I will naturally act like a lady! I'm a daughter of the Wei Family. Who in my family doesn't get praised for her chastity and virtue? Besides, I'm a lineal descendant of the clan! Do you think they'll believe what you say? And I'm going to say you're deliberately slandering me!"Shen Cangfeng laughed and said, "I've been talking a lot of sweet words to you, so why do you only want to learn such unreasonable words? You're a bad girl.""Bah, you're the one who should behave!" Wei Changying hit him again, scaring him, "If you keep talking flirtatiously like this, I'll beat you up!"Shen Cangfeng's face turned serious, saying, "You have underestimated me too much. Do you think I'm afraid of being beaten up?""You!" Wei Changying was speechless. After a moment, she punched him with hatred, "if I beat you more often, I don't believe y
The next morning, Wei Changying was woken up by Mrs. Huang and was surprised that the sun was already high up in the sky. She then felt relieved that she didn't need to greet Madam Su, for she was not in the mansion.Mrs. Huang helped Wei Changying dress up and said, "Although the eldest young madam didn't say when you should visit her, it's better to get up early since it is your first time visiting the eldest branch.""Did he go to the palace?" Wei Changying asked as she combed her hair. Shen Cangfeng had told her that his holiday ended today, so he had to return to the palace and thank His Majesty for offering him the holiday.Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Look at you, young madam. You have already got married for several days, why do you still call the young master "he"? Before he left, the young master has told us to let you sleep longer!""Bring my dress here. We should set off as soon as possible, or else my first sister-in-l
Hearing the words, Liu Ruoyu showed a trace of crimson on her face, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "Sister Wei praised me too much, I…I am clumsy. It's only because the seventh sister does not give up on me and think about me all the time." Her voice was low and soft and was little floating, which made it sound insufficiency of middle-warmer energy.Wei Changying smiled and said, "Sister Liu is too humble. As soon as I see that you have slender fingers, I know that you are a clever person." She came over today and was ready to meet Liu Ruoyu so that she had already prepared a bracelet. And now she took it off from her wrist to give it to her as a gift.Liu Ruoyu quickly refused. Mrs. Liu smiled and said that Wei Changying was too polite. Seeing that she was determined to give it to her, Mrs. Liu let Liu Ruoyu accept it.Originally, the three people wanted to make a few polite remarks, but Shen Shuyan ran over and held the skirt of Wei Changyi
Mrs. Huang accompanied Wei Changying to the eldest branch. Wei Changying consoled Mrs. Liu, watched her wipe her face, and summoned someone to fetch water for her to clean the face. Then, she called Mrs. Huang in and instructed her.Mrs. Huang agreed with Wei Changying's words and said with humility, "I'm inferior to the Eighth Miss, in the Duanmu Family. I served a highly skilled doctor for a few days when he lived in the mansion of Wei Family, so I'm privileged to be taught by him. But I haven't learned the essence of his medical skills. If I don't solve the problem for Tenth Miss, I would like to ask for the forgiveness of the first young madam."Mrs. Liu was calm now because Wei Changying had agreed. She said in a smile, "Granny Huang, you are too humble. We all know that when Miracle Doctor Ji stayed at the Wei Family, Old Madam Song arranged some of the smartest maidservants to serve Miracle Doctor Ji. However, only Granny got the doctor's favor, so s
“Youlaihe?” asked Wei Changying who was confused. “What is that?”“It is a cold medicine produced by northern Rong tribes,” said Mrs. Liu in a sad voice. “The Liu Family often battled with northern Rong tribes and found this medicine on them. It is effective to cure the hot poison. However, if a healthy person takes it, only a little….”Liu Ruoyu couldn’t sit firmly. She was so weak that her face was pale. She said, “If someone overdosed it, the strange smell could be noticed. However, I am weak. Just a little amount of it made me weaker like now.” She felt short of breath. Suddenly, she couldn’t bear what had happened to her, so she violently waved her hands and shrieked, “I have not competed with them and merely want to marry an honest man. Moreover, I don’t plan to revenge them, but why do they still hurt me? They planned the marriage between the Crown Prince who is lascivious and I. Song Zaishui in Jiangnan knows his notorious character. Now, they even
After returning to Jintong Courtyard, Wei Changying found that Shen Cangfeng did not come back. However, the servant who had sent a letter to the Song mansion this morning came back. He was Ni Hao, the eldest son of Mrs. Huang. Ni Hao was several years older than Wei Changying and had the eldest daughter and a second son. For the sake of Mrs. Huang, her family was all members of Wei Changying’s dowry group. Mrs. Huang’s husband and eldest son were managers in the Shen FamilyIt was originally not Ni Hao’s duty to send a message, but Mrs. Huang ordered him to do so because she wanted her son to appear in front of Wei Changying.Standing behind the curtain, Ni Hao respectfully reported, “Miss Song sent her regards to Young Madam and also wrote a letter to you.”Wei Changying asked Zhu Lan to fetch the letter. After holding the letter on her hand, Wei Changying did not unfold it but asked with concern, “Have you ever been to rear courtyard? How is
