When she first heard that Madam Zhenyi was seriously ill, Wei Changying felt a little uneasy and worried. But with Princess Lingxian's unsuccessful invitation and her being unable to contact Princess Anji, all she could do was to wait and see what would happen.
After a few days of waiting, Song Zaishui sent someone to invite her for a visit at the mansion.
Just two days after Shen Shuguang was one month old, Madam Su personally gave the order for Wei Changying to be in charge. Although Grand Preceptor’s mansion was too large to be handed over to Wei Changying all at once, even a part of it was already enough to make her as busy as a bee.
But Song Zaishui was very considerate. How could she not know that it was difficult for Wei Changying to take some time to visit? But even so, she still sent someone to invite her, and the servant wasn’t too sure about the reason, either. Perhaps, there was something important going on. Wei Changying thought a
“The Huo Family is pretty straightforward and easy to deal with.” After lunch, Madam Gu went back with Huo Qingling while Song Zaishui brought Wei Changying back to Jianjia Court where she lived. Peeling a pomegranate, she smiled, “It is too costly to refuse a marriage from the royal family. Plus, Her Highness Princess Anji is not in favor. Hence, all they need to do after the marriage is for her to obey them. After that, they don’t need to worry that Her Highness Princess Anji will use her status as a Princess from the royal family to bully them, so they accepted the marriage. It’s just that since you were the main culprit of this matter, they can’t just suck it up like that without getting some benefits from you. Did you get what she meant?”Wei Changying was not as relaxed as she was and said with a worried frown, “That’s the main reason why I’m so troubled. Well, Huo Zhaoyu was originally one of the people my mother-in-law had in mind for my sister-in-law! When my m
Song Yuwang was four years older than Madam Song. Because he was the only male lineal heir of Duke Duanhui, Song Xinping, who did not die at a young age, Duke Duanhui brought him up well. He was even willing to retire early just to pave the way for his son. Hence, compared to other senior officials, Song Yuwang was a first-ranking official and had become the minister of the public at a young age.He and Madam Song were biological siblings. Hence, they had quite a similar appearance. With a fair face, mildly beards, pretty eyebrows, and attractive eyes, he had a handsome and gentle appearance. With the elegance and his acts of a gentleman, it was obvious he was brought up in a respectable manner for many years, and he acted very affectionate towards his niece, Wei Changying, too.Wei Changying had just bowed down respectfully when he helped her up immediately and asked her to take a seat. He then said kindly, “It has been more than a year since you moved to
“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
