On the fourth day of December, the Dingbei Hou Mansion received a letter from Nanchang.
The letter said that Wei Yangqing would set off on the third day of December.
If everything goes well, he might be able to go home in time to celebrate the New Year.
Old Mrs.
Wei leaned on the big pillow with a floral velvet blanket covering her belly.
She handed the letter to the third lady and asked her with a calm expression: "Have you packed up the house?"
As the new year approaches, it’s time to clean up the entire home to get rid of the old and welcome the new.
It's just that because of the recent summons from the palace, no one in the family can take care of the instructions.
The third lady's face looked a little haggard, but she still responded very freely: "I've given you all the instructions.
Let's clean the big things first today.
We finally have the sun, so we can wash and dry them at this time to avoid getting moldy later. ” She always acted in a measured way, so Old Mrs.
Wei was relieved.
Seeing that she was not in good spirits, she asked with some concern: "Why do you look so bad when you don't feel well?"
Grandma Kong, who was waiting outside, felt a thump in her heart and sighed slowly.
It's not that I feel uncomfortable, it's just that the old lady from my in-laws came over yesterday and told me that the Zheng family's affairs had been abandoned.
She complained a little bit, saying that the Zheng family's words were not nice, and she also brought up the old events of Pu Ci'an.
He scolded the fifth lady.
Wei Yuyou cried and cried all night, and the third lady tried to persuade him to no avail, so he became a little depressed.
Naturally, the third lady couldn't tell the old lady that Wei Yuyou was causing trouble.
She shook her head with a smile and changed the subject: "It's because of Xiaoqi's matter.
I'm always very uneasy."
She looked around and was a little curious: "Why haven't you seen Xiao Qi here today?"
Ever since Mrs.
Wei took a special look at her, Wei An has been basically inseparable from Mrs.
Wei, and he is more punctual than anyone else in making morning and dusk adjustments every day.
Not to mention being absent, she had never even been late or left early.
But she didn't see Wei An now.
She couldn't help but look at Old Mrs.
Wei with some surprise: "The decree of the first grade of the palace announced that she would come to the palace to pay an audience on the ninth day of the lunar month.
The day is approaching, why do you still let her go out and wander around?"
Old Mrs.
Wei knew what she meant, and suddenly laughed: "She is not walking around randomly."
She added: "She has a sense of control, don't worry."
Old Mrs.
Wei is so relieved, what else can the Third Madam have to say?
Although she had known that Wei An was unusual, but hearing from Mrs.
Wei her unguarded trust in Wei An, she was still a little confused as to what Wei An did.
She was lost in thought for a while, and many people in charge came outside to reply.
She quickly stood up and said, "I won't disturb you, mother.
There are still many things outside.
I'll go take care of them right away."
Old Mrs.
Wei's hands are never empty, and the third lady understands this very clearly.
She does what she should do, and she never tries to be smart about things she shouldn't get involved in.

Wei also liked this about her.
She nodded slightly to her and waited for her to go out before letting anyone in.
Wei Rui was much darker and thinner.
Even though he was wrapped in a thick winter coat, he could still see that he was haggard and fragmented.
Not only that, his face was also extremely pale, as if he was seriously ill.
Mrs.
Wei was startled and looked at him worriedly: "What's wrong with you?"
Wei Rui's lips were pale and bloodless.
He knelt on the ground with a bang and coughed several times before he stopped.
He cleared his throat vigorously and told Old Mrs.
Wei: "The clue is gone."
He closed his eyes, extremely unwilling but helpless: "Miss Qi reminded me to check from Yunnan.
I have actually been there many times before."
It was Old Mrs.
Wei who asked him to go, but unfortunately nothing could be found.
There are many Miao and other foreign ethnic groups in Yunnan, and it is common for bandits to escape.
Any accidents that happened to the Ming family members on the road have already been settled, and the follow-up has been sorted out.
Every time Wei Rui goes there, he is always in trouble.
And return.
We started with the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou to investigate, but the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou had already been transferred to Guangdong and Guangxi, and he had a high position of power, so there was nothing he could do easily.
Wei Rui went to Yunnan to look for clues.
However, because the officials who handled the case at the beginning had been demoted to death, nothing useful was ever found.
Until this time, Wei An reminded him that he might not necessarily target officials.
"There were so many officials, big and small, in charge of them.
Of course, those with high grades can be transferred or silenced, but how can those like the masters, junior officials, and yamen cadres be cleared so cleanly?"
Wei Rui remembered what Wei An said at that time: "With the huge crowd, how do you know if it is related to the original incident?
It is not impossible.
It is recorded in the file.
You might as well try to do something about it first."
He did succeed in tampering with this, and found someone who knew what happened back then.
He was still the postmaster of the inn, and he was the one who was in the inn that night.
Unfortunately, something happened before he could ask anything.
His residence was discovered and he was assassinated that night.
If the people around him were not reliable enough and protected him desperately, he would never have come back alive.
Old Mrs.
Wei looked coldly: "Did that Yi Cheng tip off the news, or have you been targeted a long time ago?"
It wouldn't be so scary if Yi Cheng tipped him off, but if he had been targeted for a long time, it would be really scary.
Has King Chu's power spread to such a terrifying level, or is his people so pervasive that he won't let anyone go?
Wei Rui covered his chest and coughed: "It shouldn't be that Yi Cheng tipped him off.
He didn't have the chance."
Mrs.
Wei hummed and lowered her head thoughtfully.
No matter what, King Chu is really stressful.
Moreover, he keeps an eye on the Wei family so closely.
If he knew that Wei Rui went to Yunnan, what would he do next?

Old Mrs.
Wei felt a little creepy just thinking about it.
And the King of Chu, who made Mrs.
Wei's hair stand on end, was currently hearing about the affairs of his eldest son, the crown prince of Chu King, Chu Jingrui.
Chu Jingrui was much more careful when in front of his father than when in front of his mother.
He thought carefully and said to him: "The Wei family is quite courageous.
Now that the matter in Yunnan is over, they dare to commit crimes.
He even went to Yunnan.”
There were seven or eight people sitting in the room, and they all laughed after hearing what he said.
"No."
Shi Qinchong, the head of the Palace of the Prince of Chu, suppressed his smile: "This old lady has been quiet for so many years.
I thought she had given up.
But now it seems that she is just hiding her power and biding her time.
That’s all.
Prince” He looked at the King of Chu who was in his prime and high-spirited, frowned and said: "Don't underestimate the enemy."
The candlelight in the room flickered, and King Chu's face was hidden in the light, making it difficult to see his expression clearly
