Chapter 211 Being Merciful

When Wei Changying returned to the Grand Preceptor's mansion, it was already dark and the lanterns were lit. She was very tired but still went to the main room to ask Madam Su for forgiveness.On the way to the main room, she thought that her serious concern about Jiang Zheng's injury must have upset Madam Su because Jiang Zheng was only regarded as a guard by Madam Su. Madam Su must have been displeased that her daughter-in-law had been busy looking after a guard and hadn't informed her in person when she had gone out. Wei Changying guessed that she would have to apologize humbly and repeatedly so that she could get out of trouble.However, when she prepared herself and got to the main room, she saw several old maidservants standing there with their arms crossed in front of their chests, guarding the door, and looking embarrassed. She wondered if something had also happened in the main room today.Wei Changying was a bit startled. She recalled

Chapter 212 Comforting Madam Su

Mrs. Huang whispered near Wei Changying's ear, "The fourth young madam is obviously being a nuisance. Madam must have known that. Madam was angry because the fourth young madam is her nephew's wife, not her daughter-in-law. Though she wanted to criticize her, she had misgivings. The first young madam, the second young madam and Granny Tao all had comforted Madam for a long time today, but Madam is still sad. Young madam, you probably can't calm Madam down, so you just say something to comfort Madam and leave. I guess Madam doesn't want to talk to you much, young madam."Wei Changying thought what Mrs. Huang had said made sense. If those two well-behaved clever sisters-in-law had failed to calm their mother-in-law down, and it was also beyond Granny Tao's ability, who had been her mother-in-law's favorite maidservant for years, she, who had been married into this family two months earlier than Pei Meiniang, wouldn't be able to do it either.Wei Changying tho

Chapter 213 Getting away

Wei Changying thought for a while and asked, "Have my husband and they had dinner yet?""I don't know about the fourth young master. But when the young master invited Mr. Nian over, he hasn't had dinner yet. After the fourth young master came, they kept talking till now and haven't asked us to send them the meal yet."Wei Changying's face was even gloomier, "It's already so late, and the dinner time is about to pass. Why don't you guys remind them? Even if my husband is magnanimous, Mr. Nian is still the guest. If he and the fourth younger brother are hungry in Jintong Courtyard, people who know it will gossip our negligence. How stupid you are!" According to common sense, as Shen Cangfeng’s assistants, it was impossible for Nian Shengyao to delay Shen Cangfeng’s dinner. And since Nian Shengyao was invited over, even if they couldn't finish talking before dinner, they could still talk at night after dinner. If it’s too late, it's not that Nian Shengyao hasn

Chapter 214 Pleading Guilty

Wei Zhengyin led her niece into the carriage. When they got into the street, she turned her head and asked, "What's the matter with your mother-in-law? Why she is sick all of a sudden? Man Ting came over yet could not tell the full story. I heard that she was angry with her nephew's wife? Mrs. Pei is only the daughter of the Pei Family. With the power of your mother-in-law, how can she be bullied by someone from the younger generation?""I happened to go out after noon yesterday. And by the time I came back, it was all over. I heard from Man Lou and the old maidservants in my mother-in-law's yard that Pei Meiniang, my fourth sister-in-law, made rude remarks, which made my mother-in-law and the eldest sister angry." Wei Changying told her roughly what she had heard from Manlou.Wei Zhengyin could not help but be moved, "There is such an arrogant and unvirtuous woman in the distinguished family?" Then she said, "No wonder your mother-in-law is so angry. If I

Chapter 215 People Coming from Pei Family

Wei Zhengyin and her niece left the palace gate with a heavy heart and did not talk about anything that happened in the Changle Palace. When they arrived at the carriage, Wei Zhengyin held her niece's hand and said, "Let's go. I will go to the Grand Preceptor's mansion with you." Then she turned around and called a servant in the carriage, asking him to return to Su Mansion and tell Old Madam Deng.Wei Changying guessed that Wei Zhengyin's real purpose for visiting Madam Su was related to Shen Cangfeng's thoughts, so she was worried.When they arrived at the Grand Preceptor's mansion, Wei Changying led her aunt straight to the main room. After entering the courtyard, they heard that Mrs. Liu said in a lukewarm attitude in the room, "If the mother didn't like you, she would not have allowed you to marry here. Fourth sister-in-law, do you think so?"Pei Meiniang did not answer, but another older woman said with embarrassment and a cautious smile,

Chapter 216 The Turning Point

Mrs. Duanmu was terrified, but Mrs. Min was refreshed! There was a clear smirk in her eyes, but she still sternly reprimanded, "You are really nonsense! The second madam of the Song Family is the daughter of Duanmu family in Jinxiu County (AKA Jinxiu Duanmu), born in the gentlefolks as your second sister-in-law, whose family background is much better than ours. Their family disciplines are so strict that how could they say such things to instigate discord? You have projected your guess on the second madam of the Song Family, who is originally ignorant!"These words reminded Pei Meiniang to come up with evidence quickly. Pei Meiniang raised her head and said coldly, "Mother always respects gentlefolks and doesn't believe me. When Duanmu Wuse said it to me, the maidservants were all there, and the first madam of the Song Family also heard it and stopped her. You can ask the first madam of the Song Family, who has been praised for her straightness. Even if she wants to lie

The next day Mrs. Huo, the first madam of the Song Family, and the second madam Duanmu Wuse were invited to Shen Mansion, confused. Wei Changying saw Duanmu Wuse when she visited Song Zaishui last time, but she met Mrs. Huo, the first cousin-in-law, for the first time.Mrs. Huo somewhat resembled Huo Qingling, who she met in the palace last time, and probably they were the sisters of the same branch. Mrs. Huo should be the same age as Song Zaitian in Mrs. Liu's generation. Compared with the new married wives like Wei Changying, Mrs. Huo was elder and graceful with a smile. According to her appearance, she was very kind.Mrs. Min had brought Pei Meiniang over and welcomed them in with Mrs. Liu and others. Their seats were divided into hosts and guests. After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Huo smiled and asked about the reason for inviting them to come.So Mrs. Liu briefly explained what happened and said, "Sister Pei, please tell them the story t

Chapter 218 Unexpected Power

The two daughters-in-law of the minister of the public Song Yuwang happened to make a sharp contrast in the Grand Preceptor mansion. The first daughter-in-law Mrs. Huo was virtuous to the summit, and the second daughter-in-law Duanmu Wuse was vicious to the extreme.Duanmu Wuse also got Pei Meiniang, the newly married first daughter-in-law of Count Xiangning Shen Zhou, into trouble. In the eyes of Su Xiuman, the Madam of Grand Preceptor, Pei Meiniang was virtuous, gentle, and considerate, born in an aristocratic family. Then provoked by Duanmu Wuse, she became so suspicious that she made her aunt, who raised her husband to grow up, fall ill because of anger in a misunderstanding. Mingpei Hall was known for favoritism and it was well-known that Count Xiangning Shen Zhou tended to guard his children. For the eldest daughter Shen Cangzhu, he almost smashed the house of the Su Family in Qingzhou, whose influence was as eminent as theirs.Now, it was his lineal

Because imperial edict of the marriage between Princess Linchuan and Gu Wei, the son of the Gu Family in Hongzhou, had been given.Along with the imperial edict of the marriage, the imperial message to the top nine imperial guards was also given.This imperial edict should have come down at the beginning of spring this year. But it was only because Princess Linchuan decided to get married, and the imperial guards were among the candidates for the Emperor's son-in-law so that this message was delayed. The imperial edict ordered Shen Cangfeng and other nine men, the top ten winners of New Year's Eve's military performance last year, immediately went to the frontier to serve in the army for three years. This excluded Gu Wei, who was selected as the Emperor's son-in-law.The point was that in these three years, any effort could be equivalent to three effor

Chapter 220 The Change of the Wedding Date

Beating her husband in half a joke and half a warning, Wei Changying hid her playful attitude and began to talk about business, "You are leaving now, what about... the matter of the Eastern Palace?"Shen Cangfeng smiled and said, "Father has his own ideas. Don’t worry about it."Wei Changying thought, "How can I don’t worry about it?" Planning to change the Crown Prince would be a major event that shook the country. Once it failed, even if the gentlefolks would not be implicated, the whole family of Grand Preceptor could not escape the death!However, if Shen Xun actually hated the Shen Family, it would only be more troublesome to let him ascend to the throne. Thus, changing the Crown Prince would be imperative. However, such an important thing, if she didn't know about it, she wouldn't worry about it. But now since she had already known it, she didn't know its detailed progress. When Shen Cangfeng was at home, Wei Changying could still inquire
