Although Wei Shengxian extremely admired the lineal mother, Old Madam Song, she was a mother herself after all. After asking about Old Madam Song for the whole morning, it was already lunchtime. Wei Shengxian was pulled at her sleeve by the granny behind her and she finally remembered what she ought to do. Therefore, she said to her two daughters, "Go to the kitchen and pay attention. Don't let them slack off."
Seeing that Song Xiyue and Song Ruxuan were sent away, Wei Changying knew that her eldest aunt was going to get to the point. As expected, Wei Shengxian said embarrassedly, "Changying, you just married to the capital and you have to take care of your husband. I shouldn't have troubled you anymore..."
"What are you talking about, eldest aunt? You're my aunt and we are from the same family. Besides, you are my elder. If you need me, just tell me without hesitation. As long as I can make it, I will absolutely do it." Wei Changying smiled and interrupted
Though the two of them were the only people in the room, Shen Cangfeng still lowered his voice, almost touched his wife's ear and said, "The Honored Consort and the Empress don't get along at all. Xiangzhi is favored by the Honored Consort and he can't get out of it now. If we let our cousin marry Xiangzhi and the Honored Consort’s plan failed, she would probably be punished as well. Why does she have to suffer that?"Wei Changying was surprised when she heard this, asking, "Why do you think the Honored Consort will lose?" She wasn't just worrying about Deng Zongqi. She knew that Song Zaishui had united with the Deng Family to break off the engagement and the Wei Family had helped as well. Although it didn't mean that the Song Family and the Wei Family were on Honored Consort Deng's side, they would support the Honored Consort more.Especially, when Song Zaishui's seemingly reasonable withdrawal the marriage, she had more or less offended the Empress and th
Before Madam Su drew up the list of the unmarried young masters of the right age in the families of the capital, Duanmu Xinmiao visited first.Facing the arrival of the miraculous doctor's student, everyone in the Grand Preceptor Mansion was very surprised. Mrs. Duanmu, the second young madam, was originally checking her daughters' schoolwork. After hearing the news, she hurriedly cleaned up and changed her clothes, and rushed to Madam Su. Unexpectedly, before she stepped onto the corridor, she heard Madam Su said surprisingly, "Eighth Miss come to find Changying?"When Mrs. Duanmu heard it outside the door, she immediately slowed down and looked suspicious. She motioned to the maidservants at the door not to report her arrival and held her breath to listen attentively...She heard the brittle voice of Duanmu Xinmiao from the room. Duanmu Xinmiao replied, "Yes, my lady. Last time my lady's son accompanied the daughter-in-law to go to the master
In fact, Mrs. Duanmu's intentions were very clear to everyone here, but they said nothing. Even Wei Changying was angry because Mrs. Duanmu had asked her to apologize to Duanmu Xinmiao. She didn't argue with Mrs. Duanmu. Now Duanmu Xinmiao asked so bluntly that everyone was very embarrassed.Mrs. Duanmu was especially embarrassed. Seeing Madam Su's face turning solemn because she was dissatisfied with Mrs. Duanmu's repeated instigation, Mrs. Duanmu blushed, pinched the veil, and said haltingly with a bitter smile, "Miao'er, you misunderstood. I was playing a joke with the third sister-in-law, and I didn't expect that she would take it seriously."She sneered to Wei Changying, "Third sister-in-law, I don't really mean it. How can you take it seriously? You have scared Miao'er now."Wei Changying's second sister-in-law had taken Wei Changying's Ice Soul Incense only two days ago; now, she instigated again. When she failed and humiliated Duanmu Xi
The crowd was quickly parted by Zhu Shi. She shouted, “Young Madam is here. Please make way to let her come into the room and see what has happened.”Zhu Shi and Wei Changying were both very anxious. However, Shen Ju was not familiar with Jiang Zheng but was still poised. He hurriedly stopped them, “Young Madam, Guard Jiang's robe has been untied, so you had better not enter the room.”Wei Changying took a breath. When she was about to answer him, Duanmu Xinmiao squeezed over, pulled up her sleeves and asked, “Why did he lose so much blood? What kind of injury he has?”Shen Ju didn’t recognize Duanmu Xinmiao, but he knew that she was an unmarried young lady of an eminent family, according to her clothes and hairdo. She rolled up her sleeves in front of many servants, especially the male ones, and even planned to rush into the room. Shen Ju who tried to stop her and stammered, “This, this young lady...”“Shut up! Answer my question!
The two were quarreling, and they were about to fight with each other. Fortunately, Zhu Shi came over and reported to them, "Zhu Lei had already knitted the ribs for Guard Jiang, and now he wanted to ask the Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family to come and have a look."Wei Changying stared at Duanmu Xinmiao, Duanmu Xinmiao snorted and said, "Why are you staring at me now? Isn't the guard okay now?""..." Wei Changying bit her lip and said, "If Uncle Jiang becomes better, I will apologize to you, but..."When Duanmu Xinmiao heard it, she changed her face and burst into laughter in an instant. Then she said kindly, "Apologize? How embarrassing it would be! In terms of age, I should call you elder sister!! You could just help me collect some more pieces of good jade!"Wei Changying held her forehead and began to talk after a while, "If Uncle Jiang can be cured, I will give you a few pieces!"If the best jade was given to Dua
After wearily seeing Duanmu Xinmiao off, Wei Changying realized that she was soaked to the skin, but she was still in the cool room. If she had been outside, she would have had to change her clothes several times."This Duanmu Xinmiao is really annoying!" Returning to the inner room from seeing the guest off, Wei Changying lay down on her soft bed, saying, "But luckily, she was here today.""I think the Eighth Miss devotes herself to medicine!" Mrs. Huang saw the sweat all over her forehead, she then took a round silk fan, stood by the bed, and slowly fanned her, smiling.On hearing this, Wei Changying agreed. Duanmu Xinmiao clearly didn't behave the way everyone thought. On the surface, perhaps she had grown up with gentlefolk and had received a good education since she was young, so she hadn't lost her ladylike manners. In the capital, everybody knew that Ji Qubing was erratic and difficult to please. When it came to his disciple Duanmu Xinmi
Shen Ju was called to the backyard to be questioned by Wei Changying. When he heard Wei Changying asking about Jiang Zheng's injury, he hurriedly said, "Young madam just said that Guard Jiang is a steady person which made him unlikely to offend the Crown Prince. Although I am not familiar with Guard Jiang, young madam's words naturally will not be wrong. Thus, I went to ask the person who sent Guard Jiang here. Indeed, just as young madam said, it was not Guard Jiang who actively collided with the Crown Prince!"Wei Changying frowned and was careless to praise his meticulous work. Instead, she thought, “It was indeed the Crown Prince who stirred the trouble?”Thus, when she spoke, she expressed her seriousness, "Tell me the details!""Yes." Shen Ju answered and said, "Just before noon, Guard Jiang routinely went out Anshun Inn and went to buy Hu cake at a Hu cake shop near the inn. I heard that Guard Jiang and that Hu cake shop's keeper had kno
Wei Changying asked about Jiang Zheng's injury and sent Shen Ju back to the front courtyard with a stern face. As soon as Shen Ju had retreated, Shen Cangfeng came back and entered the room with a smile on his face, seeing Wei Changying annoyed. His expression changed immediately, and he asked, "Who made you angry? Was Shen Ju rude to you?" He frowned."Nothing." Wei Changying smiled reluctantly, stepped forward to untie his robe for him, and explained, "My instructor Jiang Zheng was seriously injured and was taken to our yard to ask for help just before noon. Duanmu Xinmiao happened to be here. Now, his life has been saved, but he is still living in the front courtyard for the time being...""It should be," Shen Cangfeng nodded without waiting for her to finish speaking and said, "You can let him live there. There is more than one guest room in the front yard, and the cost of medicine can be recorded on our account. We can afford it. Don't disappoint the s
