Li Weiyang has always wanted to know what the Duchess Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were doing that day, but the old lady has been tight-lipped about this matter and has never revealed a single thing.

One morning half a month later, Li Weiyang went to greet the old lady, and after a few gossips, the old lady slowly put down the tea bowl, looked at her and said, "Weiyang, there is something I want to mention you first." ”

Li Weiyang nodded and smiled: "Old lady, please speak." ”

The old lady smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I'm going to continue the strings for your father." It is said that Li Xiaoran married a newcomer, and she didn't need to talk to the children at all, but Li Weiyang is different from others, and the old lady loves to say a word to her about anything.

Li Xiaoran's wife is dead, so she naturally wants to marry a newcomer, whether it is the ninth aunt who is about to give birth, or the fourth aunt and the sixth aunt who have been favored for many years, no one is qualified to sit in the position of the lady, this has nothing to do with whether they are favored or have children, it has to do with their background. But Li Weiyang didn't expect the old lady to mention this matter so quickly, after all, the wealthy family died of his wife, and he would marry again in a year, although there are also wives who die for three months and then renew the newcomer, but that will also be laughed at too urgently, Li Weiyang originally thought that Li Xiaoran would marry the newcomer again at least a year later, but he didn't expect the old lady to mention this stubble now.

She thought in her heart, there is no hostess in this mansion now, and it is the best situation for herself, of course she doesn't want to come out like this again, but since the old lady mentioned it, she must have made up her mind, Li Weiyang said with a smile: "I don't know whose daughter it is." ”

Seeing that she didn't show the slightest displeasure, the old lady couldn't help but smile and nodded, and said, "It's the daughter of General Guangming's mansion." ”

General Guangming? Li Weiyang was stunned for a moment, instantly realized something, and his smile narrowed slightly: "It's my mother's cousin?" ”

General Guangming is the military attache of the fourth rank of the imperial court, he is Jiang Xu's cousin, and has been fighting with Jiang Xu for many years, three years ago because of the death of his mother returned to Kyoto Ding Wei, his daughter, is not the cousin of the late eldest lady? Li Weiyang immediately understood what Jiang Guogong's Mansion was doing last time.

"Yes, it's your mother's cousin, who is eighteen years old this year, and should have been married three years ago, but her grandmother died, and she had to stay at home for three years."

Eighteen years old, that's not a few years older than himself, but this is not surprising, in the past, Liu Shangshu continued, the newcomer's age was five years younger than his youngest grandson, Li Xiaoran is now the most valuable age for men, and he is a high power, how many famous people have hollowed out their minds and posted up. It's just that those families are too high, and they can't help but feel that they have lost their identity, those who are too low, and they are definitely not high, and they have both, but there is no suitable daughter, so Li Weiyang originally thought that the old lady would put this matter on the agenda a year later, and if she wanted to talk about marriage, she would have to wait for another two years, but she didn't expect that now there are candidates, and they were sent by the Jiang family.

"I don't know what day it is?" Li Weiyang said with a smile.

The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for the end of the year." ”

Li Weiyang nodded, and the two looked at each other for a while, both silent.

The old lady sighed: "I know that you will inevitably have a knot, but I can't help this matter, the Jiang family is bound to win this time, and I also invited the queen to talk about it, and there was a female official next to the queen who came with me that day." ”

"Queen?" When did the Jiang family get involved with the prince's faction? Li Weiyang was slightly surprised, and then had an epiphany, in fact, even if the Jiang family revealed a rumor, the queen would naturally put pressure on the Li family for the sake of "Corporal Lixian", and this Miss Jiang was of the right age and background, and the old lady had no reason to refuse, and it was impossible to delay it for a year. The Jiang family is not vegetarian, since they are prepared, they will definitely not give the Li family an excuse to shirk, even if they find an excuse to push this Miss Jiang, they will come up with other methods, maybe there are still seven or eight candidates waiting in their hands. Li Weiyang smiled, he still underestimated the Jiang family too much, he thought that Jiang Rou's death would give them a little blow, but who knew that they would send another one over immediately with perseverance.

"It seems that the eldest uncle returned to Beijing for this matter." Li Weiyang said slowly, of course she didn't fully believe the old lady's words, and there must be many complicated relationships with the Jiang family when she married again. It's just that they won't explain these reasons to themselves. In the final analysis, people just notified that it was going to rain and that his mother was going to get married, which was something Li Weiyang couldn't stop. It's just that I don't know what kind of person this incoming Mrs. Li will be...... How much will her arrival cause waves to the Li family. At this time, Li Weiyang only cared about one thing: "Old lady, my granddaughter has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

The old lady nodded: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Li Weiyang lowered his eyes: "Aunt Nine and Aunt Seventh are still pregnant, I don't know ......"

The old lady frowned: "What does she dare to do, it's all my grandson, no one should think of a bad idea!" ”

With the old lady's assurance, it is much safer, Li Weiyang smiled: "The old lady is merciful. ”

Coming out of the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard, Li Weiyang let out a long breath.

Bai Zhi whispered: "Miss, is the master going to marry a new lady?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I am about to have a new mother." This mother still came out of the Jiang family, it makes people feel unhappy when she thinks about it, but she feels that this Miss Jiang is even more at a loss, she originally married a good family, but she has to be allowed to enter the Li family to do a continuation, and she has to face a few daughters who are about the same age as herself, that mood is absolutely understandable, Li Weiyang thought about it, and suddenly laughed, Bai Zhi didn't know what she was laughing at, thinking that she was confused, and couldn't help worrying: Miss is stupid.

Mo Zhu interjected on the side: "Miss don't worry, the slave maid inquired just now, that Miss Jiang is only eighteen years old this year, and she is the daughter of the family, but her mother died early, and her stepmother is in charge, it is said that she has a generous temperament, outstanding appearance, and is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”

A light light flashed in Li Weiyang's eyes: "It's not as simple as you think, the Jiang family's candidate is definitely carefully selected, you wait and see." "One is that this newcomer was born in the Jiang family, and her father still has to rely on Jiang Xu's face to live, so she naturally has to take more care of Jiang Rou's two children, but she is afraid that she will have to fight hard, and the other is that three points of this marriage must be to deal with her! The people of the Jiang family are the most protective, and they have always been haunted by the death of the eldest lady, but Li Weiyang does not go out of the second door, no matter how powerful they are, they are still in the front court, and their hands can't reach out in the backyard, just like that Jiang Si Although he provoked Li Weiyang once, he didn't have a chance to find her to get back a city, so he could only grit his teeth in secret, after all, Li Xiaoran's official position and power were there, and Li Xiaoran couldn't bring down Li Xiaoran, and Li Weiyang didn't go out at all, they couldn't help Li Weiyang at all. But if there is a new lady in the Li family's house, it will be different, she will discipline the children for her husband, it is a legitimate thing, not to mention that she is eighteen years old this year, even if she is only eight years old, Li Weiyang has to obediently manage the family and call her mother, so the idea of the Jiang family is really bad enough.

Mo Zhu said disapplausively: "There are still some days before the door, how can my wife have been dead for a year, otherwise what to say outside?" ”

Yes, there is still more than half a year before the newcomer passes the door, let alone more than half a year, Li Weiyang thought about it, but laughed first, some things can't be changed, just let it be.

Li Weiyang returned to his yard, but found that Aunt Jiu, who was going to give birth in half a month, was also there, Aunt Nine was wearing a brand-new magnolia purple embroidered dress, with a color of jasper beads on her head, which looked fresh and beautiful, with a unique charm, and there were a lot of exquisite satin on the table on the side, and the horses were there, and the colors and patterns were complete. Aunt Nine smiled and said, "This is sent by the master, I picked four horses, please choose a few horses from the county lord and the seventh aunt." ”

Li Weiyang smiled disappreciatively and said, "Then thank you Aunt Jiu." Although my father is also very happy that Aunt Seven is pregnant, when it comes to high hopes, he still has more hopes for Aunt Nine, and any good things are sent to her first, but fortunately, Aunt Seven is indifferent by nature, and it doesn't matter about these, but Aunt Nine sent something directly to send someone over, but she came here in person, but it was a bit of a show off.

The previous Aunt Jiu categorically didn't dare to do this after seeing Li Weiyang's ruthlessness, but now that she is pregnant, it is like a gold medal to avoid death, and she has long forgotten her original downfall, not to mention that Li Weiyang knows a lot of things about her past, which always makes her sleepless and wants to find an opportunity to shut up Li Weiyang.

Aunt Seven smiled softly: "Weiyang, Aunt Nine specially sent silk and a small quilt, which is very beautiful." ”

Aunt Nine smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "The belly pocket sent by Aunt Seventh is beautiful and lovely, I don't have anything in return, I should always repay the peach, the pillow quilt of hundreds of sons and grandchildren is also a little careful, just wait for the child to be born and cover it." ”

Aunt Seventh had a good impression of Aunt Nine, and said with a smile on her face when she heard this: "There are still more than five months, but my sister should be more careful, she will give birth soon." ”

Aunt Nine affectionately took Aunt Seven's hand and sat down and said, "Speaking of which, this is my first child, I don't understand anything, my sister must teach me." ”

Li Weiyang looked at the small pillow quilt, and seemed to be quite interested in raising it to look carefully, Aunt Jiu subconsciously glanced at her, and then collided with her eyes, and suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, and disguised the bead flowers that were swaying slightly on the bun, the texture of the jasper, slightly cold in the palm of her hand, as if she was in the mood at the moment.

Li Weiyang smiled faintly and said, "The embroidery on this pillow quilt is really exquisite." ”

Aunt Nine put her mind at ease, and her smile was secret and slight: "The county lord praised it." ”

Li Weiyang smiled gently and harmlessly: "Bai Zhi, take everyone else out." ”

Bai Zhi was taken aback, and then immediately obeyed the order, and took all the seven or eight girls who were waiting in the house down, leaving only Li Weiyang, Aunt Seven and Aunt Nine and a few henchmen for a while.

Li Weiyang picked up the small quilt casually and suddenly threw it in front of Aunt Jiu.

The seventh aunt was stunned, a little at a loss.

Aunt Jiu's body trembled, and the tip of her nose sweated slightly: "County Lord, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Aunt Jiu, what you have in your belly is the young master of Jingui, is it true that the one in my mother's belly should die? Everyone has the heart of a loving son, pushing themselves and others, with such vicious means, do you think that life is too comfortable, do you have to find out something? Li Weiyang said coldly.

Aunt Seven's heart shook slightly, as if she had been gently scratched by someone's little finger, and she vaguely understood, could it be that there was something wrong with this pillow quilt? When she thought about it like this, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and looked at Aunt Nine in horror.

Aunt Nine was so frightened that she stood up suddenly, her eyes were uncertain, and she said, "County Lord, what are you talking about, as if I am using some means to murder Aunt Seven!" ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "This quilt-"

Aunt Jiu preemptively said: "This quilt and pillow are sewn with the finest silk, and the cover is very soft, and it is most suitable for children to cover!" ”

A trace of cold coldness flashed in Li Weiyang's eyes: "Bai Zhi, bring scissors!" ”

When Bai Zhi heard the sound, she immediately took a small pair of scissors from the basket next to her and handed them to Li Weiyang, she smiled coldly, divided two by two, stepped forward and picked up the quilt and cut it all open.

Aunt Nine glanced at it and sneered: "County Lord, I always thought that we were standing on the side, but who knew that you were so wary of me, this quilt is made of the finest cotton, if I put poisonous insects in it, I will be called to thunder and split——"

Seeing that there was nothing strange in the quilt, Aunt Seven hurriedly said, "Weiyang, why did you misunderstand Aunt Nine like this?" Seal the quilt up. ”

Li Weiyang sneered, shook the cotton in the quilt, and the cotton wool flew all over the sky all of a sudden, choking Aunt Jiu coughed several times, and the girl next to her hurriedly blocked in front of her, and said angrily: "County Lord, what do you mean by this!" My aunt is kind enough to send something, you don't appreciate it, forget it, it actually hurts our aunt uncomfortable, although our aunt is not as delicate as you, but she is pregnant now, if you have any opinions, we might as well go to the master to comment! ”

Li Weiyang's high tone was filled with suppressed anger: "Really? The cotton wool is heavy, and it can't be raised, and what is raised is clearly reed wool! The newborn child is weak, if the reeds in the quilt fly out and seal his breathing, he will soon lose his life, even if he is lucky enough to escape, this kind of quilt that looks thick but is actually thin will also cause him to catch the cold, where can a newborn child withstand this kind of toss, he will also die! Aunt Jiu, you just love your children, why did you come to murder my brother! ”

Aunt Nine showed a look of disbelief: "County Lord...... I don't know—"

Li Weiyang looked at her coldly, adding a little hatred and disgust, and said slowly: "You gave the thing, don't you know?" ”

"I ...... I ...... "Aunt Nine originally didn't want to target Aunt Seven, but now she is about to give birth to a child, if it is a boy, it is very likely to inherit the Li family's Qiē in the future, but now she has an inexplicable invisible competitor, she just wants to plan for her child...... Although she was also worried about Li Weiyang, she thought that the other party was just a little girl who was not married, even if she was scheming and powerful, she would not know a lot about this aspect...... Where did she think that Li Weiyang was the one who had crawled in the deep palace? Now, Li Weiyang's cruel treatment of Mother Lin suddenly surged in her mind, and she softened her hands and feet for a while, almost kneeling on the ground, Li Weiyang took two steps forward, supported her at once, and said with a smile on her face: "Aunt Jiu, your child is about to be born, I advise you not to spend your mind on others, and it is the right thing to raise the fetus well." ”

Aunt Seven's always peaceful face had obvious confusion, she didn't understand, how could Aunt Nine, who looked like a weak gust of wind blowing and was about to fall, come up with such a ruthless method, to attack a child who had not yet been born, maybe it was a daughter in her belly, the other party couldn't wait, if she really gave birth to a boy, she didn't know what would happen...... When she thought about it, she was of course terrified.

Aunt Nine gritted her teeth, tears welled up in her eyes, but she was full of fear and could hardly speak.

Li Weiyang smiled faintly and said: "Aunt Jiu showed this kind of expression, and it would be fine in my yard, if my father saw it, he would still think that I was bullying you for some reason?!" ”

Aunt Nine hurriedly blinked her eyes, blinked back the tears that seemed to be falling, and walked to the bottom of Aunt Seven's feet full of guilt and wanted to kneel: "Sister, I was confused for a while, but I couldn't do it, I was helpless in the Li family, so I thought about it for a while......"

The seventh aunt stretched out her hand to help her, but thinking of her terrible means just now, she shrank a little for a while, but she was a kind-hearted person after all, and after hesitating for a moment, she reached out and quickly helped her up: "Get up first." ”

Aunt Nine has a big belly, and it is impossible to really kneel down, so she stood up and looked at Li Weiyang with anxiety on her face, Aunt Seven is just a small person, and the real scary thing is that she is right!

Li Weiyang shook his head and sighed pityingly: "Aunt Jiu, I will have a new mother soon." ”

Aunt Jiu obviously didn't expect this stubble, she turned white at the moment, looked at Li Weiyang in surprise, and almost blurted out: "Why is it so fast?" ”

Li Weiyang sneered, and Ying Ying said: "After my mother died, it is naturally impossible to have no housewife in the family, and now the marriage date has been set, and I am married to a Jiang woman." ”

Aunt Nine couldn't believe it, she thought that even if the new lady entered the door, it would be a long time later, but she never thought that now that the eldest lady has been dead for only three months, the candidates for the succession have been decided, and this newcomer ...... is still from the Jiang family.

Li Weiyang said softly: "Aunt Jiu, the eldest brother is not in the house, and my father has no other sons, so I will look forward to this one in your belly, which is also very normal." It's just that the new lady is only eighteen years old this year, and she will naturally give birth to a son-in-law in the future......"

Aunt Jiu was angry, anxious and scared, she finally understood what Li Weiyang meant, with a young and beautiful new lady, of course the master's attention would be diverted, even if he gave birth to a son now, it would also be a concubine, in case the new lady also gave birth to a son, would the lord still value this child so much? The new lady's child is a sister-in-law! What's more, when the newcomer enters the door, he naturally has a grudge against the aunts who originally gave birth to children in the family, and if he has a son, he is afraid that he will become a thorn in the side of the new lady! Li Weiyang reminded her that instead of trying to deal with Aunt Seven, it was better to think about how to deal with the new lady!

Li Weiyang took two steps forward, gently stretched out his hand, held Aunt Jiu's cold fingers and gently folded them back into his palm, and said with a smile: "It's a top priority, hasn't Auntie figured out what it is?" ”

Aunt Nine was stunned: "What? ”

Li Weiyang smiled faintly, and said in a steady tone: "Auntie's top priority is to give birth to a healthy child, and then beware of those villains doing things in secret." ”

Aunt Jiu was so shocked that the cold hairs on her vest stood up, and the whole person froze in place, only to feel that cold sweat was trickling down, like a tiny insect crawling slowly, and where she passed, there was a chill, and today she did this kind of thing, thanks to the fourth aunt's sowing discord, now it seems that all of them are in Li Weiyang's eyes! I was sent to the door to find death! But she was still haunted by the past in her heart, and couldn't help but look at her hesitantly and vigilantly: "Then you ......"

Li Weiyang smiled and said: "I know what my aunt is worried about, but my hands will never be cleaner than yours, so you don't have to worry about me telling my father what I shouldn't say, because when the newcomer enters the door, I still need my aunt's help!" ”

Aunt Jiu's heart was relieved, and she said, "If there is really someone I can help with, I will definitely go all out." ”

Li Weiyang narrowed his eyes slightly, but his eyes were reflected in the sun, with a hazy and mocking smile, and he was speechless.

Aunt Nine left, Li Weiyang watched her go out, and the smile slowly condensed at the corner of her mouth, like a blooming ice flower, with an indescribable chill.

The seventh aunt was a little worried: "Weiyang-"

Li Weiyang comforted her gently, and then asked Mozhu to send her back to the room to rest, and then sat down and held a book to read, but he couldn't see two lines and threw the book next to him with a bang.

Bai Zhi was afraid that she would be angry, so she hurriedly came up with tea and said, "Miss, the newly sent Hang Ju is the best to clear the heat and remove the fire, you can taste it." ”

Li Weiyang smiled and glanced at Bai Zhi: "You think I'm angry?" ”

Bai Zhi said softly: "Miss treats Aunt Jiu well, if it weren't for you, she wouldn't be alive today, not to mention that she is pregnant and climbs to the high branches, in fact, even if she gives birth to a son, there are more people in this house who don't want to see her proud, as long as Miss doesn't help her at that time, she will be a dead end." ”

Li Weiyang smiled faintly: "She was just used as a sword by others, and she doesn't know the severity of a little favor, she is far worse than the fourth aunt and the sixth aunt!" "In the final analysis, Aunt Nine is the new favorite, how can it not be compared to the old aunts, except for the Tan family who survived from the hands of the eldest lady without favor, the fourth aunt is cunning and insidious, and the sixth aunt is smart and forbearing, it is not a good stubble, otherwise it is impossible to stay in the house for so many years, although Aunt Nine has experienced the last incident, after all, the experience of the struggle is still far away, it is easy to regard Tan as an imaginary enemy, but I don't know the truth that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, if the pillow sent by the ninth aunt successfully plays an effect in the future, Not only is Aunt Seven's child gone, but even the child born to Aunt Nine and her will fall out of favor, and Aunt Four's idea is really good!

Bai Zhi said angrily: "In this mansion, there is really no peace for a day, and I thought that the eldest lady would be able to sit back and relax after she died, but who knew that there were branches." ”

Li Weiyang shook his head and said, "Aunt Nine is not to be afraid. ”

Bai Zhi immediately understood: "Is Miss worried about the new lady?" Miss rest assured, although she is also from the Jiang family, her identity cannot be compared with the previous eldest lady after all, no matter what, she is just a stepfamily! ”

Li Weiyang shook his head, and the corners of his lips turned into a thin smile, like the sun shining on the ice: "Don't say what her identity is, I'm afraid that the first target she will be in the mansion is me and my mother." "Although the new lady was born in the Jiang family, she is not a regular branch after all, if she wants to get honor and status, she must rely on the Jiang family, and the best way to please the Jiang family is to get rid of the enemy for them.

Bai Zhi hurriedly persuaded: "No matter what, the eldest lady is gone, no matter how powerful the new lady is, what can she do when she first enters the door?" The young lady is now firmly established in the house. ”

Li Weiyang took a sip of tea and muttered: "Everything is perfect, remember, the people who take care of my mother have to be personally selected by me, and I have to find out my background, temperament and temperament." ”

Bai Zhi understood, and immediately smiled: "The slave knows." ”

After the new courtyard was repaired, Li Weiyang ordered his subordinates to clean it up, happily moved the seventh aunt in, and selected someone who had been carefully investigated to send it, so that he could temporarily feel at ease.

Time passed in a flash, Li Xiaoran was happy, first Aunt Nine and Aunt Seven gave birth to children one after another, the difference is that Aunt Nine was looking forward to a daughter, but Aunt Seven gave birth to a chubby son without intention. Aunt Nine was sad and angry, and she couldn't help but be even more jealous of Aunt Seven, but because of Li Weiyang, who had powerful means, she didn't dare to make any action for a while. Because of what happened last time, Aunt Seven was 120,000 vigilant, and she guarded her son in the yard all day long, and never saw anyone except Li Xiaoran and Li Weiyang. Immediately after February, the news of the Li family's marriage to the bride spread all over Kyoto.

In the discussion of this faction, Li Weiyang still went his own way, got up at dawn, went to the Hexiang Courtyard early in the morning to ask for peace, and then detoured to the seventh aunt to see the pink and lovely brother, and then returned to his yard for breakfast, read and practice calligraphy in the morning, and listened to the spies report on the major movements in Kyoto in the afternoon, and then the rest of the time was used to count the money, since the matter of Concubine De, the seven princes have been thinking about pleasing Li Weiyang day and night, and sending the doorway to make money from time to time, less than three months, Li Weiyang's money bag has risen, From a mere two thousand taels of gold doubled and doubled, now there are ten thousand taels, if Li Xiaoran knows I'm afraid to be surprised, this girl has hidden more money in private than all his net worth, to say that this is not surprising, among all the princes, the richest is the seventh prince, who let the family have a second uncle known as the Pavilion Tao Gong, not only opened the sea ban but also controlled the big businessmen in the south, Li Weiyang is just following the next book has already made money, She couldn't help but think of Tuoba Zhen's surprised look after he got rid of Tuoba Yu and raided the Seven Princes' Mansion...... I also want to know that the days of counting money are very happy, especially for people like Li Weiyang, who believe in money, she can go to bed on time with peace of mind after counting the money every day.

Bai Zhi was anxious in her eyes, the new lady was going to enter the door in ten days, she always remembered the young lady's words, and thought that her own young lady was going to become meat on the chopping board soon, and her mouth couldn't help but blister. But Li Weiyang didn't take this matter to heart, she couldn't help but quietly persuade: "Miss, it's better to plan early, do you quietly arrange a few people to keep an eye on——"

Li Weiyang tapped the gold ingot lightly, and said with a gentle smile: "There is no need." "In the deep mansion compound of the wealthy nobles, there are endless battles and secret battles, and different people can join forces and fight in alliances for the sake of interests, and everyone has their own purpose...... It is impossible for anyone to stop, the difference is only whether it is an open war or a dark war, a big war or a small war. The carefully selected chess pieces of the Jiang family could never be a silver-like pewter spear head, and arranging the manpower by himself in a hurry would only cause jokes in vain.

Bai Zhi was worried, but she didn't dare to persuade her anymore, Zhao Yue on the side pulled her over and criticized: "You are so stupid, how have you ever seen our young lady suffer!" ”

Bai Zhi thought that this was indeed the case, so she calmed down, stopped asking these questions, and concentrated on waiting for the wedding.

Li Weiyang has always slept lightly, and he will wake up when he hears a little movement on weekdays, if he accidentally wakes up, his face will not look good, he is not in a good mood this day, and the girls know her habits, so they generally don't dare to disturb her. But early this morning, she heard a sparse sound outside, and Li Weiyang opened her eyes and glanced outside.

Bai Zhi walked over lightly and lifted the curtain, and said softly, "Miss, Mother Luo has been here." ”

Li Weiyang frowned, sat up, Bai Zhi took off the winter robe from the hanger next to the warm cage and took care of her dressing, while Mo Zhu quickly lifted the copper kettle from the warm cage, poured a cup of tea and sent it to Li Weiyang: "She said that she came to invite you over on the order of the old lady." ”

Li Weiyang rinsed his mouth, and Bai Zhi had already served the tray, and there was an extremely delicate small bowl on the tray, an empty small copper basin, and a delicate silver box containing balm. Li Weiyang's movements only stopped for a moment, and then spit out the tea in his mouth into the copper basin: "What's the matter?" ”

This is not something that Bai Zhi and Mo Zhu can answer, the two of them obediently did not speak, Zhao Yue, who had been guarding the door, walked in and said softly: "The slave has already inquired, and the Duchess of Jiang Guo has visited." ”

Li Weiyang took advantage of the fact that she had finished rinsing her mouth while she was talking, Bai Zhi served another cup of new tea, Li Weiyang held the Doucai grape pattern tea cup, and said absentmindedly: "Oh, it turns out that the old woman is here again." ”

It's no secret that Li Weiyang doesn't like the Jiang family, in front of her henchmen, she usually uses the three words of the old woman to summarize the title of the Duchess of the Kingdom, Zhao Yue couldn't help laughing, and continued: "It's not just her, but also the eldest lady of the Jiang family." ”

Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows, sighed faintly and said, "It's really annoying to disturb people's dreams early in the morning." ”

At this time, the window outside made a sparse sound, Zhao Yue was stunned, and then walked over quickly, a green bird jumped into her palm, Zhao Yue took the secret letter on the bird's feet, and then released it again. Li Weiyang took the secret letter and glanced at it, and snorted coldly: "I see! ”

Zhao Yue and Bai Zhi glanced at each other, although they didn't know what was written in the letter, it was obviously not a good thing, but Li Weiyang suddenly laughed: "Regardless of her, eat some breakfast first." Obviously, they didn't take things seriously, and the others put their minds at ease.

Li Weiyang arrived at the Hexiang Courtyard, the old lady was talking with the Duchess of Guo, Li Weiyang glanced at the Duchess of Guo, and saw that she was wearing a homely Huqing Tuanshou satin robe, with two layers of trim on the cuffs, a straight back, and a slight tilt of her head and neck, looking noble and kind. She looked at Li Weiyang intently, and then said with a smile: "The in-laws are really a blessing, and the granddaughters are all outstanding." ”

The second lady, Li Changru, and Li Changxiao were all on the side, and Li Weiyang naturally wanted to stand with them, but the old lady beckoned to her: "Come, come to me." ”

This is a great grace, indicating that Li Weiyang's status among the granddaughters is unique, the Duchess squinted her eyes, looked at everyone's expressions, and found that they were all taken for granted, and her heart couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

Although Mrs. Jiang on the side is now forty years old, she is still full of radiance, beautiful and dignified, but her expression is far more humble and gentle than that of the Duchess of Guo, and in front of the old lady, she does not look like the wife of a feudal official at all, but like a modest junior. Li Weiyang is not surprised, to be Shen Xu's wife, of course, this kind of bearing must be necessary, she did not show the slightest hostility towards Li Weiyang, but smiled very gently, and gave her a generous meeting gift like everyone else.

I also want to know that although Mrs. Jiang came together, it does not mean that she is completely with her mother-in-law, whose daughter-in-law and arrogant sister-in-law will not get along very well, Mrs. Jiang used to just get along with Jiang Rouming, how about Jiang Rou, originally it had nothing to do with her, but Jiang Rou was the daughter of the Jiang family after all, she died so miserably, of course she couldn't be indifferent as a sister-in-law, if she really ignored it, then she would be resented by her mother-in-law and husband. That's why she had to make this trip.

Duchess Guo smiled and said, "Mrs. in-laws, I specially sent someone back today. ”

The old lady's hand trembled, and the teacup was crooked, but fortunately it did not drip on her hand, but this change was only an instant, she finally remained silent, and said softly, only stopped drinking tea, and said quietly: "Who to send?" ”

The Duchess said slowly: "Yesterday I went up the mountain to worship incense, but I saw my granddaughter carrying water and washing clothes with those nuns, and learned that she was praying for her mother, so I told her that Master Li was about to get married, and let her come back to meet her new mother." But she insisted on refusing - saying that the wife of the in-laws would not allow it. ”

This Duchess actually ran to the mountain, it is simply boring! The old lady gritted her teeth for a moment, and a smile bloomed on her face: "Where is it?" I've wanted to pick her up for a long time. "Father remarried, Li Changle should indeed come back, this is beyond reproach, but she really doesn't want to see this person again, so the old lady is ready to fool this matter first, so she continued, "It's just that things have been busy recently, and I can't take care of ...... for a while."

The second lady also followed: "Yes, we have been busy with the uncle's affairs in our house recently, and we really have no time to take care of it, so we will be free in two days......"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang had already smiled and said, "Don't bother, Changle, don't come in to see your grandmother yet." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all taken aback, and they all looked at the door, only to see that as soon as the curtain was lifted, a plain-clothed beauty walked in, with a beautiful appearance and a slender figure, who is it not Li Changle?

The eyes of the second lady were about to burst into flames, Li Changru couldn't help but clench her handkerchief, Li Changxiao was full of surprise, the only person who didn't change her face was Li Weiyang, the Duchess looked at Li Weiyang, but the words were said to the old lady: "I hope the in-laws don't blame me for being troublesome." ”

The old lady smiled, even though the smile was as stiff as a stone carved out of wood. She knew that she couldn't lose her temper now, even if she was reluctant in her heart, she had to stay calm, she didn't want to and couldn't anger the tiger of the Duchess of the Kingdom: "Where ......"

Li Changle lowered his head and knelt on the ground, as if he was cowardly, from Li Weiyang's point of view, he could only see a few blue pearl flowers on her blue hair, which looked elegant and plain, which was not her previous style at all. Li Weiyang thought of the secret letter saying that the Duchess had actually sent someone to visit Li Changle, but she had endured it for a year and did not act, during this year, the Jiang family kept sending people to Li Changle's side, I don't know what they were secretly planning, and the people who were originally sent by Li Xiaoran to monitor were all ineffective...... Li Weiyang has also been sending people to keep an eye on the mountain, but for a whole year, all the news can't be spread, and the nunnery that originally helped the Li family watch Li Changle also defected, for no other reason, the Jiang family is powerful, and the nunnery naturally dare not offend.

Li Changle did something immoral, except for a few high-level figures of the Li family, even the second lady didn't know, she only knew that Li Changle fell out of favor for some reason and was sent to the mountain, and now seeing her back, she can't help but worry. The second lady looked Li Changle up and down, obviously trying to find something wrong in her, but she looked at it for a long time, and then found that the color of the other party's clothes outside was only lotus color, neither too gaudy nor too plain, you must know that now is a special period, the eldest lady's mourning period is less than three years, and she can't be gorgeous, but Li Xiaoran is about to marry a newcomer again, so she can't be too plain, otherwise she will be a little depressed. Let the second lady's words reach her mouth and swallow again, blocking half to death.

"When the granddaughter heard that the old lady was sick, she was anxious, so she rushed back." Li Changle's expression was humble, his voice was soft, the second lady was shocked, listening to this tone, it was not like Li Changle who was flying proudly, but it was completely low-key and humble.

Although the old lady didn't want to see her in her heart, she could only smile on her face, but the smile was a little awkward: "Mother Luo, don't help people up quickly." ”

Mother Luo helped Li Changle up, and the old lady said, "Since you are back, you should cultivate yourself well-"

Before the words were finished, the Duchess of Guo had already smiled and said: "Changle suddenly lost her mother, naturally lonely, I added a few people to her side, presumably the old lady will not blame me." ”

The old lady's eyes fell on the two middle-aged women behind the Duchess who were holding their breath and looked ordinary but had a shrewd and capable temperament, and couldn't help but pause slightly. She subconsciously glanced at Li Weiyang, and when she saw that she didn't seem to react, she understood her inner thoughts, and couldn't help pretending to be deaf and dumb: "How can I excuse the good intentions of the Duchess of the Kingdom." ”

At this point, everyone rejoiced, at least on the surface.

There was no change on Li Weiyang's face, but a sneer appeared in his heart, Li Changle didn't look at himself from the time he came in, and the occasional raised eye wave was also gentle and submissive, with a slight trace of guilt, people said that Shibei should be impressed for three days, so people don't deceive me!

------Off topic------

Someone asked today why Weiyang set up so many enemies, in fact, let's just say that the eldest lady, if you don't want to offend her, unless Li Weiyang is willing to be a pawn and obedient everywhere; As for Li Changle, he was an enemy in his previous life, and he will not be friends in this life; Regarding the scumbag, if you either dedicate yourself to submission or don't treat him coldly, give him a good face and prepare to get on the sedan chair; As for the Jiang family, people won't talk nonsense with you, just four words, blood debt and blood repayment; There is also Concubine De that everyone always talks about, Weiyang will either be honest as a side concubine, or go away, there is no third choice. There are many things that don't have to be thought too deeply. Everyone thinks it's okay to bow their heads and show weakness to deceive the other party, but one of these people will accept it, and no one is easy to fool. PS: I went out today, and I didn't have time to reply to the message, come back and come back!
