Wei Changying and Shen Canghui went to visit Shen Cangfeng. In the back hall stayed only Gu Rouzhang, Duanmu Xinmiao, Deng Wanwan, and Deng Zongqi. Accompanied by Shen Chu and his wife, they chatted with each other about what happened during the journey.
The greetings didn't last for long before Duanmu Xinmiao woke up and disrupted the conversation. She appeared to be in a bad state of mind and asked directly, "Any rooms available for us?"
Mrs. Zhou replied right after her question, "Sure. Rooms were cleaned as soon as the news was received in the morning. The brick bed is now warm. The only problem is that we're afraid to make you guys feel uncomfortable due to incomplete daily utensils."
Waving her hands, Duanmu Xinmiao said, "Don't matter. Western Liang is not a place where we can have fun." That was almost what it was. However, her words embarrassed those on the spot. And then she added, "Can someone show me the way to the bedroom? I
"Why did you go to Diecui Pass with the injury?" Having heard about the assassination, Wei Changying was still confused. She asked him, "The cart is not your top choice, I think. You used to ride a horse even on rainy days. The assassin ambushed under the bridge and took action when your cart passed by. Most importantly, you were really weak then. What big deal you had to go over there to handle yourself? You totally cared about nothing for yourself."Because there was a beautiful maidservant outside, Wei Changying was in a complicated mood and she guessed, "Diecui Pass? I'm gonna send someone there to check it out. Maybe there's also another beautiful lady over there. He couldn't wait to see her even with his injury."Her suspicion held water. It seemed that Shen Cangfeng was not the one who knew nothing and only wanted to show off. It was exactly clear to him that his safety should be placed in a paramount position in the Shen Family, or he would n
Wei Changying, full of raptures, came out of the inner room, and the sweet smile in front of her husband immediately turned into rage. She urged Mrs. He to serve Shen Cangfeng, altogether with some maidservants including Zhu Xian and Tuanyue. Mrs. He was cruel to her maidservants. When she screwed up her face, all servants including her niece Zhu Shi would show some sense of fear.Mrs. He was quite loyal to Wei Changying so she always tried her best to serve Shen Cangfeng. The servants here would behave well under her supervision.Wei Changying and Mrs. He were talking to each other outside the inner room. Sensing that Ruanyu was not here, she asked Mrs. He, "Where did Ruanyu go?"Mrs. He answered, "Madam Zhou asked her to wait upon Duanmu Xinmiao. She thought Ruanyu's presence here would make no difference as you had arrived here.”Wei Changying said with a sneer, "It turned out that she actually sent Ruanyu here. My husban
In fact, as Wei Changying expected, starting from the uncles of Shen Xuan, she visited all the elders in Western Liang for three days. She visited them according to kinship and seniority in the family. She cried about Shen Cangfeng's grievance, "I received the news that my husband was seriously injured. I was very anxious in the capital. I begged my father and mother to allow me to see him. I didn't receive the news about his injury on the way. I thought that he might be much better. Even if he was injured in the sinews or bones, he should have recovered after three months. Unexpectedly, I saw my husband lying on the bed sickly when I arrived!"Wei Changying poured out the grievance exaggeratedly. Shen Chu and his wife knew that Shen Cangfeng was seriously injured, but they even transferred several maidservants in Shen Cangfeng's yard, leaving only one maid. The unknown maidservant couldn't do anything except dress up herself. "My grand uncle and my grand aunt, y
The last one was proposed by Wei Changying and was very reasonable, "The family uncle and aunt haven't been good to their seriously wounded nephew, who has come back from serving the country, because they don't understand the tough life and the bravery of the soldiers on the frontier. The ancestors of the Shen Family founded the family on their military achievements, so the family members must not forget the harshness of battles or despise soldiers! Therefore, if the family uncle and aunt could go to the East River Town for a short stay to experience the horrible atmosphere of the frontier, they might truly recognize their mistakes."Almost every year, East River Town fell into different hands. Otherwise, most of the houses wouldn't be empty.The Chanyu's position in the western tribes was in danger, but people like him from the western tribes were fierce. The more desperate he was, the more frantically he started wars, in an attempt to win back his
"Young madam! Something serious happened!"It was sunny in the noon and the snow in the courtyard was illuminated by the sun. Wei Changying was sorting account books with Mrs. Huang and others. Suddenly, they heard someone's voice outside. Zhu Shi rushed into the room in panic before Mrs. Huang rebuked her for being rude. Zhu Shi couldn't wait to report to Wei Changying so that she didn’t finish showing her respect to Wei Changying, "Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family wanted to poison Mr. Deng and Miss Deng was so scary that she fainted. Now Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family's room was in the mess. Young madam, you'd better go there and decide for them!"Wei Changying was so surprised and said, "What happened?"Zhu Shi replied, "I didn't know! The day before yesterday Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family said to Miss Deng that Mr. Deng seemed to have unsettled old wounds. This morning, Miss Deng brought Mr. Deng to Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Fam
While Wei Changying was reconciling Duanmu Xinmiao with Deng Zongqi, Shen Canghui happened to enter Shen Cangfeng's inner room where he was recovering from his injuries. They greeted each other. Then, saying that they needed to talk about military affairs, they told the servants to leave.As Miracle Doctor Ji and his disciples were worthy of their names and Shen Cangfeng had always been healthy, he had almost recovered and looked quite well after only a little more than half a month.However, in order not to tear the wounds open, Shen Cangfeng spent most of his time resting on the bed. At this moment, he leaned on the two cushions and put the book he was reading beside the pillow, gently asking his cousin, "Have the people from the western tribes done anything more?"Shen Canghui slightly worriedly looked at the door, whispering, "No."Shen Cangfeng could tell that he was worried, saying, "Don't worry. The people who are ser
Shen Cangfeng said, "Go and see if there is anyone in the Shen Family who is suitable to replace the sixth uncle as the governor! Then write a letter to Father and Uncle to recommend the new governor of Western Liang. As for the sixth uncle, please get Father and Uncle to ask His Majesty for a title or a position for him. Anyway, Father and Uncle have their own discretion and will definitely give him the honor.""What?" Shen Canghui was dumbfounded, saying, "The sixth uncle did it for his father. Although he had intended to sow discord between us, it made sense as someone's child. Cangfeng, you want to replace him with another? This... He is our uncle and is in Western Liang. We would visit each other at festivals, so how could we do that? Not to mention the fact that we would often have to see him now…"He suggested, "If he wants to invite me to another banquet next time, I will directly refuse him, making him embarrassed. He will naturally understa
Duanmu Xinmiao scolded Honored Consort Deng first. Deng Zongqi was good-natured, but he was unwilling to argue with a woman, Duanmu Xinmiao. He was the lineal nephew of Honored Consort Deng and was taken good care of by his aunt. He naturally spoke for Honored Consort Deng, even knowing that Honored Consort Deng definitely threatened Duanmu XinmiaoTwo of them argued violently and shouted out regardless of whatever they said.Trying several times to stop them, Wei Changying was always neglected. Then she stopped talking and sat back in the room, watching them with cold eyes.Duanmu Xinmiao inherited her master's medical skills, temper, and talking talent and said unkindly, "Honored Consort Deng has her difficulties? How big her difficulties were! At that time, she knew exactly her son's death had nothing to do with the grandfather of my master. It was Madam Qian, the abolished Empress, who was responsible for his death! But Honored Conso
