Chapter 424 It was impossible not to want her to help in.
"The eldest lady and her party were encountered by bandits when they were passing through Xuzhou Mansion. Their luggage was robbed. The young master almost lost his life, but in the end the danger was saved and no one was injured." North replied.
"I know." After hearing that no one was injured in the end, the murderous intent that flashed in Wei Jinyi's eyes immediately disappeared.
After Xiaobei hesitated for a moment, he took the initiative to ask: "Master, what about the marriage arranged by Zhongyi Zhongyi's house for the eldest lady? In two days, Xuanpinghou's house will officially go to Zhongyi's house to propose marriage. Not only is Xuanpinghou's old age , has had two wives, and is a supporter of the Sixth Prince, how can the people of Zhongyi Mansion arrange such a marriage for the eldest lady!" Wei Jinyi's eyes were deep,
he didn't want her to get involved in these things, But now it seems that it is no longer possible.
Uncle Zhongyi has chosen to side with the Sixth Prince. As the daughter of Uncle Zhongyi, she cannot get rid of this relationship even if she gets married.
If Uncle Zhongyi's house really did something excessive, she would still be implicated.
"Let Ke Chongshan and Lin Fang come over." Wei Jin also said.
"Yes."
Not long after Xiaobei left, Ke Chongshan and his wife Lin Fang came to the courtyard...

On the other side, Wei Mingyong was pulled back to the room by Bai. After entering the door, Bai asked Wei Mingyong with a puzzled look.
"What's the matter with you? Didn't you just tell me that our eldest niece is a stubborn, ill-tempered country girl? I'm still waiting to see the show between her and the third room today. How can I tell you? "It's different at all?"
"I'm also wondering. She made me angry on the way here. She had some money and brought a lot of supplies on the way, so she showed her face when we were in trouble!"
Wei Mingyong became angry when he thought of what happened on the way.
That stinky girl dared to treat him like that. It was not just a matter of disrespecting him as an elder, it was simply an insult to him!
"Don't mention money. You said that before you went to Taizhou, you vowed that you would be able to open up the trade channels in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. But what happened? In the end, you didn't make any money, and you even used all the money you brought. "!"
Wei Mingyong looked embarrassed: "It was indeed my mistake. I didn't expect that the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was so bad and business was so difficult. But not all of my money was due to business failure. Five hundred taels of silver were given to Qingwan."
"Why did you give her so much money? That's five hundred taels of silver! Are you crazy?" "
Of course I'm not crazy. Wanwan is going to become the sixth prince's concubine! Her future glory and wealth will be limitless. , we lend her money now, and the rewards she can bring to us in the future will be far more than these five hundred taels!" "
This seems to make sense... but she is only a side concubine, and the main concubine is still a girl from the Qi family. Can you compete with this?"
"If this were in an ordinary family, the concubine would naturally not be able to compete with the main wife, but this is in the royal family. The sixth prince has the best chance of becoming the heir apparent. As long as the concubine is favored, Nothing is impossible."
Hearing this, Bai Shi was not happy, but looked worried.
"In the past, the person with the best chance of becoming the crown prince was the sixth prince, but now the situation is different. The ninth prince has appeared." Bai said.
"Isn't the Ninth Prince a sick man? He can't even walk and faints at every turn. Are you afraid that he can compete for the position of heir apparent?" Wei Mingyong didn't care.
"It is true that the Ninth Prince is weak, but he is also truly favored by the Holy Spirit. On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince were canonized. The Ninth Prince almost fainted. His Majesty left before even presiding over the canonization ceremony." Bai still said Somewhat worried.
They were most optimistic about the Sixth Prince and bet their money on him. If something went wrong, the losses would be huge. "Don't worry so much. To put it another way, the Ninth Prince is very strong. He suddenly appears like this and has no foundation to gain a foothold in the court." "What you said makes sense.
"

Wei Minghong was equally worried after returning.
"The third son's family is really great now. One son has won the imperial examination, and both daughters have to be married off. If this continues, I'm afraid all the people who want to seize the title will become the third son in the future!" and the honest look just
now Differently, Wei Minghong looked mean and calculating at the moment.
Mrs. Mo gently advised: "Master, please don't worry too much. It's a good thing that our third brother and the others are capable. It proves that our Wei family has hope for revival." Wei Minghong angrily rebuked: "You're a womanizer, what do you know? The
three of them are all capable. What does the first wife have to do with us? Didn't you see the old man's attitude towards the third wife today? Do you want me to live my life relying on their third wife in the future?" "That's not what I meant..." "Humph
!
" Wei Minghong snorted coldly, and then scolded, "It's all because of your incompetence that the sons you gave birth to are more useless than the last!"
After being scolded, Mrs. Mo didn't dare to say anything and just lowered her head and suffered in silence.
After cursing a few words and seeing that Mr. Mo didn't respond, Wei Minghong felt that it was not interesting anymore, and then he walked out as soon as he opened the door. He planned to stay at his aunt's place tonight.

After coming out of Shou'antang, Wei Ruo was brought back to Changchun Garden by Mingzhu, the maid assigned to her by Mrs. Wei.
Early the next morning, not long after Wei Ruo got up, Mingzhu came.
"Miss, from now on, I will be your personal maid. My name is Mingzhu. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me. If you have anything to do, you can explain it to me first to prevent you from doing anything wrong. It's a joke, the capital city is no better than a small outlying town, it doesn't have as many rules."
"No need, I already have a maid, I'm used to it, I don't want to change maids anymore." Wei Ruodao.
"Miss, I was sent by the old man and the old lady to teach you the rules of the capital and to help the young lady prepare for marriage. Please don't let down the high hopes of the old man and the old lady for you." Mingzhu took out the old man and the old lady
. To oppress people.
Then she instructed Xiumei to do things: "Don't bring in those worthless things you brought back from Taizhou Mansion. There isn't much room to put those things in the mansion." Naturally, Xiumei couldn't listen to her and stood there
. There was no intention to move around Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo asked Mingzhu: "Who told you that the things I brought back are worthless?" "My
servant has heard from the servant who helped the eldest lady carry the luggage. The eldest lady brought back many old jars. Does the lady want to tell me? Those old jars are valuable things."
"I am the lady, you are the maid, I am the master and you are the servant. I have the final say on whether things are valuable or not. What qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks to me here?" Wei Ruo asked.
