Wei Xinyong had told Wei Changying everything he had to say. Since they weren't having a harmonious conversation from the beginning, and both of them were not willing to continue the talk, Wei Xinyong said directly, "I'll let Hunu convoy you.... Don't worry about your journey. I can assure you that you will safely arrive in the city. However, after you return, it's hard to say how your future goes."
He said with a sneer and touched his throat unconsciously.
Wei Changying knew what he meant. He did it not because he had a sore throat, but in order to remind Wei Changying that she had just grabbed him by his neck, which had violated the rules that men and women should not touch each other. What's worse, she had touched a man who was neither her family member nor her husband.
After being caught up by the assassins, they were saved by the bandits on the Fengqi mountain who were serving for Wei Xinyong. But the bandits then asked Wei Changfeng to fo
While Wei Changying was still wondering where this maidservant came from, Chen Ruping had walked in, and Wei Changying immediately followed. After they had walked to the corridor silently, Chen Ruping turned to the maidservant and asked, "The fifth young master has come back. He heard that the First Miss wasn't sleeping well these days, so he comes to visit her.... Is Madam Song still inside?""Welcome back, fifth young master!" The maidservant made a curtsey towards Wei Changying, and replied, "Madam Song was tired, so the First Miss has ordered some servants to take her back.""Good," said Chen Ruping. It seemed that Chen Ruping was not willing to see Madam Song, because she looked relieved after hearing what the maidservant had said.Although Wei Changying was still confused about why this maidservant was in her court, she was more concerned about her brother. After Chen Ruping had finished asking, Wei Changying walked straight into the inne
Yan'ge came back with Madam Song, whose eyes were full of blood streak. Seeing her mother's haggard face, Wei Changying also changed her facial expressions and yelled at Yan'ge, "I only asked you to talk to Granny Shi. How dare you also disturb Mother?"Madam Song smiled reluctantly, waved her hand, and said, "Don't blame Yan'ge. I just said I was going back to sleep for a while, but how can I actually sleep? Before Yan'ge came, your grandmother sent someone to tell me about your return. But I thought you might need to have a rest after taking a bath, so I didn't come to bother you. Therefore, when Yan'ge went to me and I knew that you're awake, how can I not come and have a look?"Wei Changying's eyes turned red when she heard that, and she said with sob, "I'm all right, Mum please rest assured."Madam Song already knew from Old Madam Song that Wei Changying had returned safely and Shou Gong Mark was still on her arm. Coupled with the disguise
The matter that Wei Zhengya and the little Mrs. Liu personally came to visit and sent a piece of clay to the Wei Family was true, because, in the afternoon of the same day, Old Madam Song also received the letter sent by Wei Zhengyin that very night. The letter described in an urgent and exasperated tone of the story that a commoner stopped the carriage and complained about the grievances in the capital—The so-called commoner from Fengzhou cried and shouted to stop the ceremonial match of Wei Qi on the bustling street of Vermilion Bird, which was the busiest street in the capital. This attracted countless idle people to stop and see.The point is, when the commoner cried to ask Wei Qi to get out of the carriage, the manservant next to Wei Qi spoke out the identity of Wei Qi which intended to let the commoner know how to salute. However, unexpectedly, he mentioned only a "Wei" word, the commoner from Fengzhou, who had tried desperately to rush past the guar
If the Shen Family broke off the engagement to Wei Changying, Wei Huan and Old Madam Song could not reject it. However, they could make a plan for retaliation.Recently, Ruiyu Hall had suffered a lot.If Wei Huan did not do something to gain ground, Ruiyu Hall would come to decline.There was a roaring fire in Fengzhou after the day when Old Madam Song had received the letter from the Capital City. The dawn did not come yet.It was the bellman who first noticed the flame that had newly appeared in the dark.The fire started in Zhiben Hall, not far from Ruiyu Hall. Residents in Fengzhou gradually knew that Zhiben Hall went up in flames.Several hundred years ago, Zhiben Hall moved its main business to Capital City for various reasons. The old house remained. In the house, the grand ceremony, such as ancestor worship, wedding or funeral would be held. In usual, only servants stayed here to guard and clean th
Wei Zhengya was a member of Ruiyu Hall, who died in the hands of "northern tribes." No matter how Wei Huan secretly planned and acted, he also had to pay his condolences.Wei Changying was actually very reluctant to go.At this time, Mrs. He had recovered and returned to serve her. Zhu Lan and four other maids were also picked up and continued to be second-class maidservants in Xianshuang Court. But they changed much as if they had been domesticated by a rigorous Granny. Originally, Zhu Lan and the others, as the decedents of Mrs. He and managers, were young and noisy. So no matter whether Wei Changying was in Xianshuang Court or not, the yard was lively all year round.But this time when they came back, they looked well-behaved and calmer than before. Wei Changying was not strict with maids. If their chatter didn't disturb her, she wouldn't be angry with them. Seeing that they behaved more tamely, she gave them some praise. Zhu Lan and the oth
Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan were speechless. Although they were extremely reluctant, they still got on the carriage.When the carriage went out of the door, Wei Changsui, Wei Changfeng, and Wei Gaoya came together. After greeting them through the curtain, they drove the horse to the side of the carriage and went to Duke Jingping Mansion.The journey was not long, and there were no idlers, so they entered the back door of Duke Jingping Mansion soon. After getting off the carriage, they began to feel something significant happened in the mansion. At this moment, only a female manager greeted them by the carriage, whose solemn expression of eyes revealed her panic. She saluted casually and didn't speak much, leading them directly to the courtyard of little Mrs. Liu.Along the way, the white cloths had been hung up everywhere, and the servants encountered were all in a hurry with sorrow. There were several places in Duke Jingping Mansion where dec
After being scolded by Mrs. He, Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan left, weeping. Without any triumphant smile on her face, Mrs. He only gingerly begged in a low voice, “First Miss, do not care about what they said. It is nonsense. They are jealous. Someone has said that you are the most beautiful and generous lady in the room. The girls of collateral branches are not better than you no matter in appearance or in status. So they...”“How many days?” asked suddenly Wei Changying. She was pale and gazed blankly into the distance.Mrs. He figured out her sudden question. She hesitated for a while and murmured, “Perhaps it has been on for a few days. Family Head and Old Madam Song have already...”“There is even gossip in the Wei Family. It must start earlier,” Wei Changying said lightly and choked out.Mrs. He became distressed and forced a laugh. She said, “Don’t worry, First Miss. Although there is a rumor recently, Family Head and Old Ma
Wei Qing’s two younger sisters, Wei Qiong and Wei Ying, were gentle and generous. Wei Changying became less upset because they did not show any disdain to her. She also thought that not all people talked about the meeting that she took the place of her brother to attend. In public, people did not discuss Wei Changying out of the Wei Family’s face.Wei Changying could bear the hurt. What comforted her was that Wei Zhengya had timely died. Four overnight misfortunes in Fengzhou, especially the death of Wei Zhengya, a renowned scholar in the country, caused uproar. Although northern Rong tribes claimed that they were not responsible for four disasters in Fengzhou, evidence showed that they were murderers.Northern Rong tribes were the Great Vi’s rival. Who would believe an enemy’s words?People focused on four events, so few paid attention to Wei Changying.Considering this, Wei felt a lot more relaxed.It w
