153, belittle your highness(1/2)
With an excuse to be scared, Wei Jing's life became much quieter. Minglan came to see her every day, but in fact the two of them were playing privately, talking and laughing.
"You don't know what chaos is happening there. When I entered the palace yesterday to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, Concubine Shu was there, and she looked not very good."
Concubine Zheng Shu summoned her a lot, but every time she came, Wei Shi was pale, trembling, and speaking weakly, so she gave up.
"Shu Concubine is just such a sister. She is almost married. If you don't talk about her temperament, just say that Miss Zheng's appearance and family background will definitely be able to find a husband with a good family background."
It may not be because I really feel sorry for Zheng Qingfan. When Concubine Shu got married, how old was Zheng Qingfan only? What kind of relationship could she have?
"That's true." Minglan nodded.
"Sister Ran, come here!" Wei Jing waved at Qin Ran at the door. Qin Ran was wearing a pink skirt, and the acne marks on her face faded a lot. She ran to Wei Jing, and raised her head and shouted sweetly, "Auntie Seven, Aunt Lan."
"Hey!" Ming Lan stopped Qin Ran from it, hugged Qin Ran and couldn't help kissing her, "Sister Ran has grown a lot taller and is getting better and better."
"Aunt Lan is also good-looking." Qin Ran grinned at Ming Lan. Ming Lan's heart was melted and she couldn't help but say, "Brother Feng is just a mess, but it's strange. When the eldest brother hugged Brother Feng, Brother Feng was honest and missed Brother Feng, so he could only go to his grandmother's place to wait for his sister-in-law."
In this sentence, I also disliked my brother Mingsu, who is too protective of my son.
Wei Jing smiled slightly.
"Aunt Lan, I can teach Brother Feng to write in the future." Qin Ran said angrily.
"Okay, Sister Ran is the most well-behaved and sensible child."
As he was talking, June cleared his throat, "Miss Wen is here, I'm almost at the second door."
The smile on Wei Jing's face suddenly restrained, his eyebrows were a little impatient, he nodded and signaled someone to come in. Wei Jing leaned on the collapse, with some white powder on his face, and his little face looked much pale.
Qin Ran blinked and looked at this scene in confusion.
"Sister!"
Before I got closer, I heard Wen Qiyan's voice. Soon, Wen Qiyan came into my eyes and approached the inner hall.
"Sister Bear, how are you?"
"It's much better than the previous few days, Sister Yan doesn't need to worry." Wei Jing smiled, "Why is Sister Yan coming today? What's going on in the house..."
"I should have come to see you for a long time. The matters in the house are indeed a little troublesome. I was a little sad about the matter that day. Sister Lan is here too."
Wen Qiyan turned her eyes and saw Ming Lan. Ming Lan smiled faintly, "It's so boring to recuperate alone in the house. I'm idle, so I came over to sit down. I don't know if this girl is a devil. She was so scared that she hadn't recovered for so many days. Look, her face is still a little haggard."
"This is thanks to Sister Lan. Many people are talking and advising each other, so Sister Wang can get out of the shadow as soon as possible."
Wen Qiyan sat on the collapse with a sad look on her face, "It's all my fault. We shouldn't have come up with an idea to arrange Marseille. If such a big thing happened, Miss Zheng was injured, she would still scare you."
"If I hadn't reacted quickly, that crazy horse would have come to me, and I would have been trampled on the person I was. I would be afraid if I thought about it."
Wei Gui lowered his head and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
"So many days have passed, so Sister Wang should let go earlier. If this continues, it will be your own body to ruin it."
"Well, thank you sister Yan for your concern."
When June was serving tea, Wen Qiyan took it, looked up at Qin Ran, and then put down the teacup, "This is a cousin, she looks so handsome."
Qin Ran has a good facial features, but if she is handsome, her acne marks on her face cannot be ignored. Wen Qiyan waved at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran stepped forward and shouted crisply, "Hello Aunt Yan."
"The little mouth is so sweet!" Wen Qiyan reached out and grabbed Qin Ran, took it into her arms, took off a jade pendant from her waist and tied it to Qin Ran's clothes.
"What's your name?"
"Sister Ran."
"Sister Ran, you are such a well-behaved child." Wen Qiyan said in a gentle tone. She reached out and touched Qin Ran's little head. She seemed to like Qin Ran very much and never let go.
Wei Yin lowered his eyes and couldn't understand Wen Qiyan's meaning.
"Sister Ran, your aunt seven is sick. You must be with your aunt seven. You can't make a fuss. You can't make a fuss. I'll come to accompany you every day in the future. I'll buy you whatever you want." Wen Qiyan said softly.
Minglan's eyelids twitched and he glanced at Qin Ran.
"Don't worry, Sister Ran doesn't make any noise or make trouble. Let's see Aunt Qi. Aunt Qi is sick and Sister Ran is very well-behaved."
Wen Qiyan's mouth froze, she reached out to touch Qin Ran's hand and paused, and then she quickly regained her smile, "Sister Ran is so good."
It took more than two hours to stay, and there was no intention of leaving. Minglan stood up, "It's getting late today, I have to go back quickly."
Wen Qiyan then stood up, "Sister, you should take a good rest. If you lack anything, just speak."
"Thank you for your concern."
After the two left, Bihong stepped forward, "Mr. Mu came here, but I stopped him."
Wei Jing suddenly realized.
...
Changping Hou Mansion
Wen Qiyan got off the carriage and her pretty face sank.
"Miss, Madam, let you go there." The maid stepped forward and said.
"lead the way!"
I changed my direction and went to find Mrs. Changping Hou. Mrs. Changping Hou was sitting on a stone bench in the corridor, holding an account book in my hand, and fiddling with the calculation beads in the other hand, crackling.
"Daughter to pay my respects to my mother." Wen Qiyan bowed his knees and saluted. Mrs. Changping paused her fingertips, looked up at Wen Qiyan, "Have you seen Lord Mu?"
After being mentioned by Mrs. Changping Hou, Wen Qiyan was stunned and moved her lips, "What is my mother talking about? I'm going to find my sister..."
"You send someone to guard the Princess' Mansion every day. Lord Mu will go to the Princess' Mansion every two days. Today is exactly the second day. Yan'er, the only thing he knows about is his mother."
Mrs. Changping Hou was a little helpless. Her obedient and sensible daughter has been obedient and sensible since childhood, and her behavior has become increasingly difficult to understand.
"Mother." Wen Qiyan lowered her head, revealing her slender neck, and she could not see her emotions.
"Sit down."
Wen Qiyan sat opposite Mrs. Changping Hou. There were several names in front of her. As if she realized something, Wen Qiyan suddenly looked up.
"Mother, what does this mean?"
"You are not young anymore, and it's time to talk about marriage. You are the legitimate descendant of the Changping Marquis' Mansion and the top son of your mother. Your mother will never harm you. Your mother likes the happiness you will live in the future more than anyone else."
Mrs. Changping Hou said earnestly. Wen Qiyan gritted her teeth, her little face was pale, and her eyes were stubborn, "Mother..."
"I have inquired about Lord Mu many times. You and Lord Mu are really not destined to be together. Yan'er, don't be stubborn." Mrs. Changping Hou had no smile on her face, and her tone was deep, which was completely different from her previous gentleness to Wen Qiyan.
"Daughter is not in a hurry, you can wait." Wen Qiyan held the brocade handkerchief tightly. She finally met someone she liked in her prime. She didn't want to give up so easily. Once she let go, she would be for the rest of her life.
"If you have to wait, you can't stay in Kyoto City. Go to your grandmother's house for a while and wait until you figure it out before coming back."
Mrs. Changping Hou's tone was very firm, just to break Wen Qiyan's mind. Wen Qiyan was stunned. How could her mother, who had always loved her, say such words?
"Mother, where did the daughter do something wrong? The mother is going to send her daughter away?"
"Yan'er, does Miss Zheng's shocking horse have anything to do with you?"
Mrs. Changping Hou didn't want to pursue the matter, and was disappointed. Seeing that Wen Qiyan was still so persistent, she made up her mind to break through the window paper, and didn't want to see Wen Qiyan make mistakes again and again.
Wen Qiyan's face was pale in an instant, and her guilt flashed in her eyes. She then knelt at the knee of Mrs. Changping Hou, "Mother, my daughter really likes Lord Mu. Lord Mu hasn't gotten married yet, and my daughter is really unwilling to accept it. Besides... the princess agreed to this matter at the beginning. If the princess hadn't obstructed it, it wouldn't be the current situation."
Wen Qi's heart is as bright as a mirror. Princess Yongyang must have suppressed Mu Heng, the younger generation with the honor of his elders, and wanted to leave Mu Heng to Wei Shi!
Since that's the case, why did you agree to help Changping Hou's Mansion talk about this marriage?
In private, the two people were arranged to meet. Wen Qiyan didn't believe that Princess Yongyang would not be able to see that she liked Mu Heng, even Wei Shi was the same. She mentioned Mu Heng intentionally or unintentionally in front of her, just to show off in front of her and see her embarrassment.
"How can you think so?" Mrs. Changping Hou looked at her daughter in surprise, a little strange. Where did that gentle, kind, well-educated daughter go?
Wen Qiyan looked up stubbornly, "Wei Shi doesn't like Lord Mu at all, and Lord Mu is just forced to do so. Only Princess Yongyang is the only elder in Kyoto City. Lord Mu is a new official. If it is reported that he disobeys his elders, it will definitely damage Lord Mu's career."
Wen Qiyan said the more she became more confident, "Mother, Wei Jing is a person at the forefront. Lord Mu married Wei Jing and would not live a peaceful life in the future. Wei Jing is a complacent person..."
"Enough!" Mrs. Changping Hou couldn't stand it anymore and looked calmly, "Go, take the lady down to reflect, and you must not step out of the room!"
"Mother!" Wen Qiyan reached out and grabbed Mrs. Changping Hou's arm, shook her head, "Mother,
My daughter really likes Lord Mu..."
"Go and ask the nanny to come over and teach the lady!" Mrs. Changping became more angry and her face became gloomy as she heard it.
The two smart women immediately pulled Wen Qiyan away, but they did not dare to neglect them. They just said, "Miss, the lady is angry now. It's better to go back and calm down first. It's not too late to talk about it after a few days."
Wen Qiyan pursed her lips tightly and returned to the yard in a little embarrassed manner.
The Changping Marquis was so angry that he smashed all the calculations. Madam Li immediately stepped forward, "Madam calmed down. Miss is just starting to fall in love. She turned around and asked the nanny to persuade her to open up this knot. The lady will definitely understand the lady's good intentions."
He didn't dare to say anything accused, so he could only persuade him from the side. Mrs. Changping rubbed her eyebrows, "What's wrong with this child? It's nothing wrong to like someone, but just used pickling methods to harm people..."
In the heart of Mrs. Changping Hou, Wen Qiyan has always been a kind child, so how could she be so confused?
"Ms. Zheng has a relationship with Miss Wei, and Miss Zheng is the one who has grown up again. She can't stand the limelight of Miss Wei. Maybe it's Miss Zheng's own idea. Our lady just has no choice but to stand by and watch."
Madam Li extorted Wen Qiyan in disguise, and Mrs. Changping Hou shook her head, "What do you say about today?"
"There is a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not." Madam Li was nervous.
"explain."
