Having heard that Wei Changying's future uncle-in-law was about to arrive in Fengzhou, Madam Song was stunned and she immediately put down everything she was doing. She rushed to Xianshuang Court and stopped her daughter, who was just about to practice martial arts. Madam Song said, "We've won the war at the north of the province, and the imperial edict from the Royal Court, which is aimed to praise us, will soon arrive in Fengzhou! The person who will announce the imperial edict is Shen Zhou! So hurry up, put away your stuff and learn how to be a proper lady! If you make me lose face in front of him, I'll beat you!"
Because Wei Changying was engaged to the Shen Family since she was a baby, she knew something about the members in the Shen Family, including Shen Zhou. Having heard what Madam Song had said, her face turned pale and said, "Why him?!"
"Now it's time to count down to your wedding day, so even if the members of the Shen Family don’t come today, t
Song Zaishui was a prudent person. Although she was pinching Wei Changying's ear and was scolding her, she knew how far to go. She was not pinching too tight, so she wouldn't hurt Wei Changying. However, she had underestimated Wei Changying's shamelessness. How could Miss Wei let go of such an opportunity? As Song Zaishui was pulling her ear, Wei Changying deliberately fell into her arms!Song Zaishui was frightened. She immediately stood up and screamed after a short freeze. She let go of Wei Changying's ear and held Wei Changying as she asked, "You? You? What's the matter?""Miss Wei!" said the maidservants as they helped the beloved Wei Changying sit on the couch. They massaged her back, served her a cup of water and served her to lie down. Just as they were hesitating whether they should ask Song Zaishui to call a doctor, Wei Changying, who was pretending faint, opened her eyes. Song Zaishui was worried about her and asked softly, "My good Changying, wh
Although Wei Changying was unprincipled enough to deliberately stir up her cousin's suspicion in order to achieve the purpose of perfunctory promise to learn proper demeanor, she knew that marrying into the royal family was indeed Song Zaishui's most hatred. Even if she did not know that Song Zaishui was ready to oppose at the last minute through the means with the risk of mutual destruction, she was still afraid of deceiving her too much and causing trouble.So two or three days later, she told Song Zaishui, "I asked Uncle Jiang to inquire about it, and he said all of the cousin's guards acted as usual. He also set the doorman up, and the doorman said that except the messengers who came to report the visiting of the envoy of the Emperor to Fengzhou in the near future, there were no other messengers coming from the direction of the capital."Although she said so, Song Zaishui was already suspicious of the situation and was not easy to get rid of the suspici
Wei Changying was silent for a long time before she said, "I just don't like it.""But it's not up to you." If it were normal times, Madam Song would never say such cruel words. But now she must say it. If she didn't break the usual way of thinking of her daughter and just let her meet Shen Zhou, Wei Changying might be able to be perfunctory. But if she let her marry into the Shen Family with such an idea, it would be harmful to her. Madam Song endured her heartache and said indifferently, "You only see the majesty and insistency in her decision that even your grandfather has to yield to her today. But you did not see your grandmother's forbearance and filial piety in front of your great-grandmother. And the times your grandmother wept privately holding the swaddling clothes left by your uncles. Moreover, you did not see the frustration and the sadness of your grandmother when your cousin Changyun and Changsui were born but the eldest branch still had no children. Addit
Even if there had been no mountains and rivers nearby, Fengzhou, the Wei Family's hometown for hundreds of years, would also have been infected with the continuous cultural atmosphere. In addition, the Wei Family had been repairing buildings over the years. So there were many places to visit both inside and outside the city.For example, the Little Bamboo Hill outside the city.Although the Little Bamboo Hill by the post road and the Feng River was referred to as a hill, it was only about sixty feet high. It was covered with bamboo and people could enjoy the cool breeze even in the middle of summer.But this Little Bamboo Hill was famous for being the retreat place of the former celebrity Wei Boyu rather than its flowing bamboo in Fengzhou and even at home.Wei Boyu was a member of the collateral branch of the Wei Family in Fengzhou in the former dynasty. He was broad-minded and fascinated by calligraphy instead of being an officia
Wei Boyu, who had devoted his whole life to cursive script, could stand the coldness and solitude of living on Little Bamboo Hill for decades, so he didn't have a gorgeous inner room. These three yellow mud huts were simple and crude. He was not one of those arty-crafty people who showed people the shabby outlook of their huts but decorated their inner rooms beautifully.After Wei Boyu died, the Wei Family took back Little Bamboo Hill and the hut. They didn't add much decoration to it. Every small thing was the same as it was when Wei Boyu lived here and remained unchanged for a hundred years.After coming in, they saw the mud floor and the cob walls. In the main hall, although there were several couches and a desk made from rock wood, a good material, the style was very simple. Obviously, the craftsman hired at that time was average, so it was plain and without decoration.In several places, the paint color fell off and there were obvious trac
Servants served them busily and sent the two girls back to the hut. Because the hut was really so simple that there was no place to lie on in the main hall and the study, they couldn't care about the significance of this place and opened the bedroom directly. Although no one was living here and the bedding was put away, a couch was very wide. Now it was at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, so after being tidied up, it was enough for Wei Changying to lie on.After sending Wei Changfeng out, the maidservants untied their clothes and skirts to check their injuries. At the moment that Wei Changying's back was shown, all the maidservants took a cold breath. A granny, who stood close to her and acted as an assistant, even cried out!"How is the injury?" Wei Changying just thought that she had hit a stone on the ground when she fell. Her waist was in great pain. However, she suffered a lot when she was learning martial arts. Although she couldn't use
Madam Song always regarded her children as her dearest treasures that were more important than her life. She was the one who proposed that her children should company her niece to go on a tour, but she also knew that her niece must have a plan since she decided to go out at this time. However, out of her guilt and love on her niece, Madam Song still agreed with Song Zaishui's request.In the first two days, nothing had happened. However, on this day, Madam Song was woken up by Granny Shi soon after she took a nap. Granny Shi told her that her daughter and niece fell and hurt themselves on the Little Bamboo Hill. Madam Song was nearly frightened to death. She had no time to think about the things in the Wei Family now.She didn't even have time to tell Old Madam Song about this. She didn't even change her clothes and put on her shoes before she immediately ordered her servants to prepare a carriage.On their way to the Little Bamboo Hill, Madam
As Song Zaishui expected, Wei Changying didn't fall asleep either, but she was not as lively as usual. She said quietly, "Cousin, the case today has passed.""...." Song Zaishui kept silent for a while and said, "I'm sorry.""You have said to Changfeng that we are in a family," Wei Changying turned her face towards Song Zaishui and said softly, "Since we are in a family, there's no need to be too polite."Song Zaishui sighed and said, "I didn't mean to cause you into trouble, but...the person my father sent here to take me away is about to arrive. I was...I was too scared that I will never have a chance like this after he comes...."Wei Changying was stunned. Her eyes looked bright in this dimly lit room. She then said with surprise, "Uncle Song has sent someone to take you away? When? Who?" When Wei Changying told Madam Song that Song Zaishui wanted to go sightseeing, she noticed something from her mother's words, but Wei Changyin
