Chapter 266 The Reconciliation Between the Uncle and the Nephew
This was actually Princess Lingxian's own experience. Her biological mother Consort Huo had once become a Shu Consort, so she had thrown her weight around in the palace, truly living like a princess.
However, afterwards her father's favorite Sixth Prince Shen Jun had suddenly died. Shen Jun's mother, Honored Consort Deng, had demanded a thorough investigation in distress. At that time, Consort Huo hadn't thought much of it and had said to her young daughter privately that the water in the palace was very deep, being grateful that she had only Princess Lingxian, a daughter. Generally speaking, a princess wouldn't be in the way of anyone. So this mother could have her daughter keep her company, not needing to fear dying alone after she fell into disfavor.
Consort Huo and Princess Lingxian had never thought that the palace people would come for Consort Huo. Princess Lingxian still remembered her mother's shocked and disbelieving look when she had learned that

In February, the snow in the capital hadn't yet melted away and the underfloor heating was still in use in the Jintong Courtyard. There were freshly cut plum blossoms in a porcelain vase on a flower stand. A light hint of the fragrance mixed with the warmth, creating a delightful atmosphere.Song Zaishui had some free time and went to Wei Changying's mansion to visit her. Having sat down, she saw her cousin's huge belly under her full high-waisted, magnolia-print dress with its crimson red lapels and large sleeves, saying, "Are you having a baby soon?"Wei Changying counted with her fingers, saying, "It's eight months now. Not there yet."Song Zaishui wasn't married and didn't know much about these things, so her random guess was wrong. She said with a smile, "Two months will go by quickly. It seems that I have to press on with my work, otherwise the clothes for each season that I have promised my nephew will not be finished."
The Crowned Lady Chapter 268 Without Her Mother, Who Could She Rely On?
While Wei Changying and Song Zaishui were chatting about family affairs, the white cloth had not yet been completely removed in the lonely rear courtyard of the Wei Family's mansion. When the wind blew, the white cloth danced with the remaining snow, adding sadness and loneliness to the bleak reality.Wei Changjuan, the Seventh Miss, stood alone in the courtyard under a plum tree with blood-red blossoms, holding a snowy plum branch, lost in thought. She thought melancholily, "In the past, at this time of the year, Mother would always lead people to collect snow from the plum blossoms and seal it in a clay pot to make tea when the spring comes. I remember one year, my first sister saw a recipe for plum blossom cakes in a book, and we collected plum blossoms together to make some. The plum blossom cakes we made at that time were not good at all, but my first sister ate several pieces in order not to lose face. In the end, she had a stomach upset in the middle of th
The Crowned Lady Chapter 269 After Suffering Came Happiness
"It seems that Changwan told the doormen to do so, saying that you are in mourning and shouldn't have visitors. When I just arrived at the front door, I saw that was how Liu Ruoye was sent away." Min Yinuo said softly, "I was told the same thing, but on the way back, I remembered that I had passed by a side door of yours, so I tried it. Surprisingly, they let me in. When I got to the courtyard, I happened to see you almost collapse. Silly you, it's so cold nowadays, but you aren't looking after yourself properly. My fifteenth aunt, your mother, has passed away so you should take better care of yourself, in case my fifteenth uncle and cousins worry about you!"Wei Changjuan’s heart ached, thinking that her father and siblings were blaming her for everything. Instead of worrying about her, they would probably choose not to see her again.After a pause, Wei Changjuan said in a low voice, "Since it is Changwan's order, so let it be. Maybe she wants me to
The Crowned Lady Chapter 270 Thinking of Ways to Save Themselves (1)
Usually, when it came to the right to run the household, there could be some hard feelings between sisters-in-law. In some families, though the mothers-in-law hadn't passed away, they had delegated the responsibilities and their daughters-in-law would start to fight with each other. This should have been the case in the second branch of the Wei Family as the mother-in-law had suddenly died without specifying which daughter-in-law should be in charge. Even though the first daughter-in-law would normally be the one, she couldn't completely keep the second daughter-in-law out, so there should have been a fight.But Mrs. Min and Mrs. Zhou got along very well and were like sisters. There was an explanation for that.They were both granddaughters-in-law chosen by Old Madam Song for her grandsons. Both of them had gentle and quiet temperaments, who didn't like to cause trouble. They would also put up with things when they could.Usually, daught

Mrs. Zhou asked, "What is it?""You know my cousin came over to visit Wei Changjuan today." Mrs. Min squinted, saying, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have given her all those good things to ruin! Hasn't she ruined enough things in the past?"Mrs. Zhou asked suspiciously, "But didn't you say you weren't very close to Min Yinuo? How did you manage to persuade her to help us?""Her father, Min Zhixia, is just a descendant of a distant branch, but at least, my family is from the lineal branch of the clan, so of course our situation is much better than his. When Min Zhixia was poor and sick, my family didn't care much about him. Since he got the support of the Duanmu Family, he rarely visits our family. Perhaps he has grievances? Before I was married, I was in Quyin County. The first time I met Min Yinuo was in this mansion when Wei Changjuan brought her back as a guest. I only learned that she was from the same family as me when I was with her. Howe

Before the next day when a servant could have been sent as usual to ask Ji Qubing to come over to check Wei Changying's pulse, the moment Ji Qubing packed his medical bag and went away with Wei Zhengyin, the Ni Tao couple ran in a panic to the Jintong Courtyard to report the news.On hearing this, Mrs. Huang was shocked. Having thought for a moment, she calmed down, warning them, "Don't tell the young madam about this for now in case she becomes worried. It might cause trouble for her when giving birth."Ni Tao was the person who served Ji Qubing. He was worried that if something bad happened to Wei Changying after Ji Qubing had gone with Wei Zhengyin, Old Madam Song would vent her anger on him as she couldn't do anything to her daughter. He asked nervously, "If we aren't going to tell the young madam, we should send someone to bring Miracle Doctor Ji back, in case the young madam...""What are you talking about?"

That night everyone in the Grand Preceptor's mansion was disturbed, and even the neighboring Count Xiangning's family had the news before dawn. As Shen Cangzhu was a widow, she worried that she would bring bad luck, so she did not go. Mrs. Pei dressed up and led people over in person to enquire about the situation. Actually, among all the people who had been disturbed and now gathered here, there were people like Madam Su who had given birth to many children, and there were also people who knew gynecology like Mrs. Huang.
