The Princess Wei Yang

further persuade her.
Zhao Yue pulled her over and criticized her: “You are so foolish, have you ever seen Xiaojie at a loss before?”Bai Zhi agreed that this was true and calmed down.
She stopped asking these questions and let go of her concerns to wait until the wedding.Li Wei Yang had always been a light sleeper, waking up to the slightest sounds.
If someone accidentally woke her up, she would look rather unpleasant and not be in a good mood for the rest of the day.
The Yatous knew her habits, so they usually did not dare to disturb her.
However, this morning, she heard slight noises outside.
Li Wei Yang opened her eyes and looked outside.Bai Zhi walked over, gently lifted the curtain and softly said: “Xiaojie, Luo mama is here.”Li Wei Yang frowned and sat up.
Bai Zhi brought her winter clothes over from the rack where they were being warmed and helped her change.
Mo Zhu brought over warm tea and handed a cup to Li Wei Yang: “She said she was inviting Xiaojie over on Lao Furen’s orders.”

Li Wei Yang momentary paused.
Bai Zhi brought over a tray with a small, intricate bowl, a brass pot, and a delicate silver box containing balsam.
Li Wei Yang only paused for a moment before spitting out the tea into the vase: “What happened?”It was not a question neither Bai Zhi nor Mo Zhu could answer, so they remained silent.
Zhao Yue, who always stood guard outside, came in and softly said: “Nubi went ahead to see.
Jiang Guogong Furen…”As Zhao Yue spoke, Li Wei Yang finished rinsing her mouth.
Bai Zhi brought her a new cup of tea.
Li Wei Yang lifted the cup and blankly said: “Oh, so that old hag came.”It was no secret that Li Wei Yang was not fond of the Jiang family.
With her most trusted Yatous, she often referred to Guogong Furen as “that old hag.” Zhao Yue held back a laugh and continued: “It’s not just her.
Jiang Da Furen also came.”Li Wei Yang arched her eyebrows and heaved a sigh: “So annoying, interrupting someone’s sleep and dreams so early in the morning.”There was a small sound outside the window.
Startled, Zhao Yue swiftly went over, and a little, green bird jumped into her palm.
Zhao Yue took the secret letter from the bird’s foot and then released it outside.
Li Wei Yang read the letter and sneered: “So that’s how it was!”Zhao Yue and Bai Zhi looked at one another.
Even though they did not know the contents of the letter, it was clearly not good, but then Li Wei Yang smiled: “Forget them, breakfast first.” She was conveying that this was not a priority, so everyone else could relax.Li Wei Yang went to He Xiang Courtyard and found Lao Furen talking with Guogong Furen.
She glanced over at Guogong Furen and saw that she was wearing green, silk robes with the calligraphic character ‘Longevity.’ There was a layer of silk from each shoulder of the robe that was attached to the cuffs of her sleeves.
She sat tall, her back straight and head slightly reared back, appearing particularly gentle and refined.
She stared intently at Li Wei Yang then smiled: “In-law Furen, it is quite a blessing that your granddaughters are all grown up.”Er Furen, Li Chang Rou, and Li Chang Xiao were all present to serve Lao Furen.
Naturally, Li Wei Yang had to stand with them, but Lao Furen waved her over: “Come over here and sit.”This was a great honor, emphasizing Li Wei Yang’s special status among the grandchildren.
Guogong Furen narrowed her eyes.
Looking at everyone’s expressions, she found that they seemed to have expected it and felt a bit surprised.Jiang Da Furen was now forty years old but still radiant, refined and dignified as always.
Compared to Guogong Furen, she seemed much more modest and gentle.
She did not act like the wife of a highly important official in front of Lao Furen either and seemed humble and sincere.
Li Wei Yang did not find it strange because one had to have a personality like that to be Jiang Xu’s wife.
She did not express any hostility towards Li Wei Yang and only smiled, treating everyone in the same manner and gave her a kind, warm welcome.Although Jiang Da Furen also came, it did not mean she empathized with her mother-in-law.
Was there a bride who did not dislike her arrogant, haughty sister-in-law? In the past and even now, Jiang Da Furen could not express her frustrations with Jiang Rou.
Whatever Jiang Rou did, it was still unfortunate to be associated with her, but nevertheless, Jiang Rou was still a daughter that had been married off.
She had died miserably, so as her sister-in-law, Jiang Da Furen certainly could not look the other way.
If she was indifferent, her mother-in-law and husband will resent her, so she had come to come.Guogong Furen smiled and said: “In-law Furen, I came today to reciprocate a gift.”Lao Furen’s hand slightly trembled, the cup of tea in her hand quivered but fortunately did not spill onto her hand.
She momentarily faltered but did not reveal anything on her face.
She softly murmured “oh”, paused and quietly asked: “For whom?”Guogong Furen slowly began: “I went up the mountain yesterday for a pilgrimage and saw our granddaughter wearing a brown, woven skirt helping the nuns with laundry.
I knew she was praying for her Muqin, so I let her know that Li Daren was about to remarry and permitted her to return to greet her new Muqin.[2] That child insisted she could not–saying in-law Furen would not allow her.”The fact that Guogong Furen actually went up the mountain made others speechless! Lao Furen clenched her teeth but continued to cheerfully smile: “What? I also want her to return soon.” Her Fuqin was about to remarry, so Li Chang Le must return.
This was self-explanatory, but Lao Furen truly did not want to see her again and wanted to quietly sweep this matter aside: “It has been very busy lately, so it must have slipped from my mind…”Er Furen also added: “Yes, we have been very busy with Da bo’s affairs recently and planned to wait a few more days for things to settle…”Jiang Da Furen interrupted her with a chuckle: “We would not dare to trouble you.
Chang Le, quickly come over to greet your zumu.”

Everyone was surprised to hear this.
They looked towards the door and saw the curtain being lifted.
A beauty in white clothes came in with a heavenly grace and willowy figure.
Who else could it be but Li Chang Le?Er Furen’s eyes were almost consumed with flames.
Li Chang Rou subconsciously clenched her handkerchief, and Li Chang Xiao was stunned.
The only person who did not react was Li Wei Yang.
Guogong Furen gauged Li Wei Yang’s expressions as she spoke with Lao Furen: “I hope in-law Furen will not blame me for being nosy.”Lao Furen smiled stiffly as if her smile had been carved from wood or stone.
She knew she was not in a position to negotiate.
Even if she was unwilling, she would compromise to keep the peace.
She’d rather not provoke an old tiger like Guogong Furen: “Not at all…”Li Chang Le bowed and knelt on the ground, seemingly weak and vulnerable.
From Li Wei Yang’s point of view, she could only see the pearl flowers on Li Chang Le’s sleek black hair, elegant and minimalistic, not at all like her past style.Li Wei Yang recalled the contents of the letter and knew Guogong Furen had already sent someone to visit Li Chang Le, but she waited a year before taking action.
Throughout the year, the Jiang family constantly sent people to Li Chang Le’s side and secretly made preparations.
The people Li Xiao Ran originally sent to oversee her eventually disappeared… Li Wei Yang also had people closely watching on the mountain, but no news left the mountain.
The temple that had been helping the Li family watch over Li Chang Le was also conflicted.
The Jiang family had great authority, so the temple did not dare to offend them.Li Chang Le did something unspeakable.
Aside from the senior members of the Li family, no one else knew, including Er Furen.
She only knew Li Chang Le lost favor for some reason and was sent up the mountain.
Er Furen began to worry now that she had returned.Er Furen examined Li Chang Le from head to toe, obviously wanting to find something wrong with her.
After looking for a while, she only discovered that Li Chang Le’s clothes were actually pale pink but were neither too exquisite nor plain.
One must remember that during Da Furen’s three year mourning period, a child cannot wear colorful clothes.
However, since Li Xiao Ran was about to remarry, it would not appropriate for her to wear white.
Li Chang Le’s pale pink and silver clothes had green bamboo embroidery but were still light colors, so Er Furen could only swallow her words.“Granddaughter heard Lao Furen was slightly ill.
Granddaughter was worried sick and hurried back.” Li Chang Le looked humble and spoke softly.
Er Furen was taken aback by Li Chang Le’s tone of voice, a stark, modest contrast to her usual proud, soaring voice.Although Lao Furen did not want to see her, she could only smile, but that smile was a bit unnatural: “Luo mama, quickly help the child up.”Luo mama helped Li Chang Le stand up.
Lao Furen said: “Since you’ve returned, you must look after your health and temper—”She had not finished her sentence when Guogong Furen smiled and said: “Chang Le suddenly lost her mother and naturally felt lonely.
I have allowed a few people to keep her company.
I hope Lao Furen will not blame me.”Lao Furen’s eyes fell on the two middle-aged Furens, especially the nonchalance and shrewdness behind Guogong Furen and slightly faltered.
She subtly glanced at Li Wei Yang.
Seeing she did not react, Lao Furen understood and pretended not to notice the implications: “How could I turn away Guogong Furen’s good intentions?”At this point, everyone seemed happy, at least, on the surface.There was not the slightest change on Li Wei Yang’s face but a cold smile vaguely emerged.
Li Chang Le had never looked over in her direction since she came in.
She occasionally looked up with a gentle, respectful expression and a hint of guilt.
People say everything can change in three days, and you may not be able to look at someone the same way again! ————————————————-
