“They humiliated you?” Liu Ruoye was taken aback and asked in disbelief, “How? How is that possible? You are the youngest lineal daughter of the first wife! Even though Aunt Duanmu has passed away, isn't Uncle Wei still here? You still have two brothers, too! Even though your two sisters-in-law are now in charge of all affairs, how can they humiliated you? You were Aunt Duanmu’s favorite when she was alive, weren't you? Now that she's gone, how can they neglect you like that?”
When Wei Changjuan heard Liu Ruoye say “You were Aunt Duanmu’s favorite when she was alive”, it immediately triggered her sadness and she sobbed uncontrollably, “Stop it! Stop it!”
It would be foolish for one to stop at this point. Hence, Liu Ruoye who was holding her prompted, “What's going on? I thought your two sisters-in-law were too sad to handle matters so they didn’t notice what was going on here. Or maybe it was maybe you're too upset so you hated crowds and sent them a
The next day when it was still early, Wei Changjuan stood up to see Liu Ruoye off, who had talked to her all night long. She chose to leave at this hour to avoid being seen. “Sister Liu, now I realized what it means to stay strong despite all these hardships. I used to think everyone was my friend, but these few months made me realize that apart from Sister Min and you, no one else cares about me.”Liu Ruoye said gently, “Don’t say that! It's not that only the two of us are here to visit you and have you in our hearts. It’s just a little hard to see you these days. Firstly, they might be afraid of disturbing the elders in your family. Secondly, they weren’t aware that you're having a hard time here. Everyone thought you’re extremely depressed so visitors aren’t welcome. Otherwise, everyone would have paid you a visit even if it was against the wishes of the elders.”Wei Changjuan couldn’t help but remember how Liu Ruoye had been sent away several times to t
Liu Ruoyu was shocked when she heard Shen Xun say this, as she thought that he had overheard her dispute with Zhang Shaoguang and Liu Ruoye. Upon second thoughts, it wouldn’t be possible for Shen Xun to eavesdrop as the door of the chamber was so massive. He had probably been trying to eavesdrop but in vain. Hence, he suddenly pushed the door open to catch them red-handed.It was just that the Crown Prince was being a little too ridiculous. Did he think everyone else was as licentious as him? He even suspected the Crown Princess of looking for a servant to satisfy her sexual desires just because he wasn’t there.Liu Ruoyu was so keen to revenge. If she had wished to live a good life with Shen Xun and had been serious about being a Crown Princess, she wouldn't have known whether to be more frightened or angrier upon hearing those words.Liu Ruoyu said, “Your Royal Highness, please speak cautiously. I asked Ju Zhong to come in because I wa
Although Ji Qubing was known to be difficult to invite and he was always very mean, according to Wei Changying's experience, he still had Old Madam Song's affection in mind, and he could definitely be invited despite his ill-temper if it was Old Madam Song's children who needed help.However, this time, even though Wei Changying had tried to please him as much as she could, Ji Qubing still refused to go. The reason was that although the poison that Su Yuwu and Pei Kai had been poisoned with was cured, the process of preparing the antidote had inspired him and he had gained another insight into the usage of You Lai He. Now was the best time for him to focus on it, and he did not want to be distracted.In the end, Wei Changying was really anxious. Hence, he reluctantly gave in, “Either you send him here without any delays, or stop bothering me!”At this point, Wei Changying had no other choice but to send someone on a fast horse to report
When Wei Changying returned to Grand Preceptor's mansion, Madam Su asked her about Song Yuwang's condition: “How is the minister of the public doing? Is he alright?”“Mother, Miracle Doctor Ji said that uncle had overworked himself, so he needs to recuperate for a few days.” Wei Changying left one sentence unsaid. As quoted from Ji Qubing, “It might be something that was troubling him instead of a physical illness.”Judging by the look of the three Song siblings, it was most probably something to do with Song Yuwang's late wife. She was Wei Changying’s aunt as well as Wei Changying’s father’s sister. It had been many years since she passed away, and Song Yuwang wasn’t someone who could care less about things like this. Hence, he couldn’t let go of his late wife. On top of that, it was common for people from the Song Family in Jiangnan to be very affectionate. Hence, the three siblings were at their wits' end, not to mention Wei Changying who was equa
When they sat down in the small study, Wei Changying who was concerned about her husband’s brother asked, “Is the eldest brother not feeling well these two days? I was so busy that I didn't even notice although we’re living in the same mansion. What’s wrong?”Mrs. Liu said casually, “Every summer he tends to feel uncomfortable a few times after spending some time in the cold chamber.”Wei Changying was surprised and said, “I didn’t know that eldest brother has such a weak body?”“I heard Mother say that it happened before I married into the family. He braved the snow to chase an enemy in Western Liang. As a result, although he killed the enemy, he was seriously wounded. Because it was freezing cold and he was injured in the snow, it became something that could not be cured entirely.” Mrs. Liu's brow showed a hint of complexity before she said lightly, “However, you do know that it’s really hot these days in the capital, and it’s impossib
Lu Cheng smiled and said, “In reply to First Miss, it is a coincidence. Last month was the birthday of the head of Zhijiao House. Although he likes to keep things simple, he could not resist the fifth young master who insisted on an act of goodwill. Hence, he agreed to host a few tables for a family banquet. Originally, they only invited the senior members of the clan and the sons and daughters of the next branches who are of good character, but the Sixth Master, which is the one you mentioned, was a county magistrate in Chaoyun County and was always keen to learn when he was in office. He had time last month and went to Fengzhou to seek advice from the head of Zhijiao House, which was coincidentally during the family banquet. Plus, he was also a descendant of the clan. Hence, he joined the banquet.Wei Changying proceeded to ask, “Then how did the matter of succession come up?”“It was an elderly from the clan who had met the Fourth Great Old Master
Two days later, Wei Xinyong entered the capital. Right at that time, Wei Changying's return to her family was not packed up, nor did Lu Cheng set off.Originally, Wei Xinyong had his own ancestral house in the capital. However, currently, he was adopted by Ruiyu Hall. Deserted for years, his old house was no longer suitable for living. So he decided to visit Wei Shengyi first.Hearing about the news, Wei Changying asked Lu Cheng to come to her and asked, "Is sixth uncle going to live in second uncle's home for a while?"Lu Cheng shook his head and said, "Perhaps not. Two young madams are in charge of the backyard due to the death of the second madam. Sixth Old Master (Wei Xinyong) is too young to meet them in spite of several generation gaps between them. Also, the second and third young masters have to observe mourning for the second madam. Therefore, it is not the right time for Six Old Master to live with them."Wei Chang
Wei Xinyong said with a smile, "Any bad consequences… Apart from those you had dealt with, Old Madam pursued the Family Head to send me to the Ruiyu Hall."Wei Changying looked different and knew what he said was that her grandma worried about her for fostering Huo Zhaoyu's marriage. Old Madam Song had been worrying about when her young oldest grandson could bear the burden of Ruiyu Hall. Now she heard her oldest granddaughter behaved so rude and confused in the capital. She had to seek an appropriate person in a hurry, even though the person could not be relied on.So she was responsible for turning Wei Xinyong into her uncle!Wei Xinyong looked at Wei Changying and said with a smile, "Do you really think it is definitely a trouble for me to be your uncle?"Wei Changying came to realize suddenly and said instantly, "You misunderstand me. Stupid as I am, I know you're of great talents and knowledge. It was difficult for us t
