However, Li Qingyi cannot fight this matter alone.
She asked Chang Lan to whisper a few words, and then said: "You go quietly to Aunt Huang and tell her what I said."
Aunt Huang is Huansha, the former mistress of Master Wei Wei Shiyuan. Her original name was Huang Shaer. Now that she became Wei Shiyuan's aunt, she also returned to her real name. Everyone called her Aunt Huang.
She was Wei Shiyuan's first woman, and her love was extraordinary. After the second wife married into the family, in order to prevent future troubles, she took medicine to prevent her from falling ill, and was trapped in Fangcun Hospital for more than ten years.
Li Qingyi told the truth. While Aunt Huang hated the second lady for deceiving her, she was also grateful for Li Qingyi's life-saving grace. Now, she is working very hard for Li Qingyi in the Wei Mansion.
"Yes, I will find an opportunity to see Aunt Huang."
As soon as the master and servant finished speaking, Princess Yuanheng arrived. Li Qingyi rushed to greet her, "Mother!"
Her voice was delicate and joyful, showing a real intimacy.
Princess Yuanheng resisted the huge pressure Wei Shicheng put on her, and now every pore in her body exudes maternal love. People who don't know see the sticky relationship between the two and think they have a good relationship.
"Yi'er, Mrs. Mu's birthday party will be held in a few days. You can go with me."
The Mu Mansion was Concubine Mu's natal family. Although Wei Shicheng had made it clear that he was on the Queen's side, the favors still had to go.
Not only the Wei family, but most of the powerful people in Beijing want to give the Mu family this face.
Li Qingyi took Princess Yuanheng's arm and sat down, and said: "Mother, there will definitely be a lot of people attending Mrs. Mu's birthday banquet, right? Is it appropriate for me to go with mother?"
"What's inappropriate? You are my biological daughter, and you are so outstanding. I don't know how enviable it is for me to take you out! Or do you want to go with your second aunt?"
"Of course I have to go with my mother! My second aunt has my younger sister to accompany her, so she doesn't have to have me by my side."
Princess Yuanheng smiled and said: "My mother is not stopping you from interacting with the Li family. It's just that you have been in front of them for so many years. As a mother, I can't help but feel sour."
She is now more relaxed.
In the past, she wouldn't have been able to say such a thing even if she was killed.
Now I have no choice but to learn all the harsh words the Second Madam often says.
Once you get used to it, there's nothing you can't say.
On the contrary, many things have become easier.
"What are you talking about, mother? After all, we are mother and daughter. Half of Yi'er's body is her mother's blood. Yi'er only regrets that she could not come to her mother earlier."
As she spoke, tears filled her eyes, "Why didn't mother come to pick me up earlier?"
Princess Yuanheng looked a little stunned when she saw her like this.
Li Qingyi added: "When I met my mother earlier, I was really angry. I was angry that my mother had abandoned me, and I was angry that my mother had ignored me for so many years, so I deliberately went against my mother. My second aunt was good to me, but She has her own daughter, and I am just a niece, which is different from my biological mother and daughter..."
She said, hugging Princess Yuanheng tightly, "Now I know, it's not that my mother doesn't want to take me here, she is just afraid that I will be wronged when I come to the Wei Mansion to live under someone else's roof. I wrongly blamed my mother. Now I only hope that in the future Mother, do you think it’s okay if I can always be by my mother’s side?”
She said all kinds of good things.
But it is also the most real inner struggle of a little girl facing her own situation.
Princess Yuanheng's heart slowly tightened, and the hypocritical and sour words she learned from the second lady were stuck in her throat as if they had gone bad. It was almost impossible to tell whether Li Qingyi's true feelings were true or false.
Her hand involuntarily touched Li Qingyi's back, as cautiously as if she wanted to comfort a wounded cub.
Chang Lan, standing nearby, suppressed the shock on his face.
If she hadn't clearly known that Miss Li was going to deal with the Wei family, she would have believed this.
No wonder adults say that Miss Li looks soft, but behind her tears there is always manipulation.
But she felt that Li Qingyi was right. As a girl with no strength, tears were one of the few weapons she could use. Since she had weapons, why not use them?
The room was silent for a long time with no one speaking.
Li Qingyi lay on Princess Yuanheng's lap and sobbed quietly and aggrievedly, until there was a snap and a big tear fell on the side of her face.
She tensed up and stood up in a daze to look at Princess Yuanheng's face.
The face that was beginning to fade was filled with sadness.
Li Qingyi was a little confused.
She had only seen expressions of indifference, anger, and arrogance on the other person's face. It turned out that Princess Yuanheng could cry too.
But why is she crying?
Too deep into the drama?
While Li Qingyi was stunned, Princess Yuanheng blinked her eyes, held back the remaining tears, and regained her normal expression, "Yier, don't say such nonsense, you are already a big girl, and you will always have to do it in the future. Family, mother will definitely find a good marriage for you, just think of it as mother making up for the regret of not being by your side for so many years."
When Li Qingyi heard this, the little fire that had just been ignited in her heart was extinguished. Yes, what was she expecting?
She obviously already knew what kind of person her mother was.
The other party picked her up because he wanted to find a "good marriage" for her.
Li Qingyi softened his expression, looking both disappointed and moved, and said in a low voice: "Yier understands mother's painstaking efforts."
"If mother has something else to do, I won't stay with you any longer. If you have nothing to do, just walk around the house. It's okay to go back to the Li family."
Princess Yuanheng didn't know if she couldn't continue acting, and she seemed to be running away.
Li Qingyi looked at her back, his expression slowly returning to calmness.
*****
The people in the capital are prosperous, the thirty-six businesses are prosperous, and the merchants and hawkers from far and near are in order and prosperous.
Song Qian was listening to the bustle and excitement on the street in the carriage, thinking about his life-long events.
The maid Caiping knew that she was thinking about getting married again, so she frowned and said: "Girl, although the Wei family has a high family background, they don't have much background, especially the second wife, whose food and clothing expenses are definitely not as good as those of our Song family. It’s time for you to feel wronged.”
Song Qian glanced at her sideways and said nothing.
She is not overly flamboyant and likes to be noisy, but she has to make the plans she needs to make.
She is a direct daughter of the Song family. Even though she is already in her twenties, it is not easy to find the position of the main wife. If she wants to be a stepmother to fill the house, she has a lot of choices.
But she finally chose to be Wei Shiyuan's concubine.
The reason was nothing more than that chance encounter.
Wei Shiyuan was gentle and elegant, with a dignified appearance. He looked like the father of several children.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Caiping grimaced and was secretly upset.
She is Song Qian's dowry girl, and she will naturally follow him to the Wei Mansion.
Although she said she would be a first-in-law or aunt in the future, she also wanted to be with a young man of the same age, not a man with a wife, concubines and several children.
Song Qian came to his senses and saw that her face was not good, so she said, "Don't think about things that are not there. The Wei family has little foundation, but their future is limitless."
"It is Mr. Wei Shicheng who has an unlimited future, not Mr. Wei. In the future, he will have to rely on his brother to support him, right? I really can't understand why the girl fell in love with him? Our eldest man actually agreed to this marriage. …”
Song Qian was not as simple as she thought, and said calmly: "Since uncle can agree, there must be something feasible."
Caiping was dissatisfied, "Girl, in the past you always said that you didn't want to marry lowly, and that if you wanted to marry, you had to marry a well-matched person. But now, not only are you marrying low, but you are also a concubine...Girl, with your appearance, you can learn a lot." , I feel sorry for you, you have no time to regret it now!"
