Wei Baozhu had expected such an incident and had been mentally prepared for it. Without any surprise or panic, he calmly followed Mrs. Wei and others back to Heyan Hall with the imperial edict in hand.
"My granddaughter pays her respects to her grandmother."
The words without resentment and emotion made Mrs. Wei's heart even more congested than before!
If Wei Baozhu complained and questioned her, she could say that she did it as a last resort to clear the name of the Wei family, and she would even scold Wei Baozhu for being the one who had been pinched and should not blame others.
But now Wei Baozhu didn't say anything. He just said hello gently and Qiaoqiao, and then there was no more words.
This blocked all Mrs. Wei's excuses in her throat. She couldn't go up or down. It was extremely uncomfortable!
and.
Last night, in front of many people, including the Li family, including her daughter-in-law, she personally said that Wei Baozhu was a wild girl from nowhere, denied her granddaughter's identity on the spot, and abandoned her!
But in a blink of an eye, the granddaughter came back on her own!
It literally slapped her face!
In front of her two daughters-in-law, Mrs. Wei felt her face burning and uncomfortable.
She picked up the tea cup at hand and wanted to smash it at Wei Baozhu.
But his eyes glanced at the imperial edict held in Wei Baozhu's arms, and he silently put down the tea cup.
Frustrated!
I have never been so frustrated!
"How come you were saved by the Fourth Prince?"
Mrs. Wei's words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth.
Wei Baozhu did not hesitate when he heard the question, and repeated what he had just said to the third lady Guo.
"My house was attacked by a thief, and my granddaughter was kidnapped by the thief. I was determined to die to protect the name of the Wei family. However, my granddaughter was lucky and met the fourth prince. Your Highness saved me."
The phrase "protect the name of the Wei family" made Mrs. Wei angry until she died.
Isn't this really a satire on her?
"Second girl, don't pretend to be confused, you know what I'm asking!"
Wei Baozhu's eyes swept over everyone's faces, showing a puzzled expression, "My granddaughter doesn't understand."
Mrs. Wei's face turned green when she heard this.
Princess Yuanheng sat aside, although her face was expressionless, she felt extremely comfortable in her heart.
Previously, she thought it was too easy to let Wei Baozhu go so easily. Seeing that Mrs. Wei was so angry that she suddenly felt less at a loss.
The third lady Guo, who was sitting opposite Princess Yuanheng, raised her brows uncontrollably.
It was also the first time she saw her mother-in-law deflated!
Although my mother-in-law came from a poor family, her methods were anything but "poor". Even her daughter-in-law, who was married from a wealthy family, had to be careful in front of her, not to be easily caught in the wrong place.
Who would have thought that a junior like Wei Baozhu would cure Mrs. Wei today!
Mrs. Wei took a deep breath and said: "Your eldest aunt and your third aunt know what happened last night, so there is no need to hide it! Please explain the matter clearly from beginning to end! How did you leave the Li family, and what happened? How did you get robbed...and rescued by the Fourth Prince!"
Wei Baozhu raised his head, with a pair of bright eyes showing confusion, "Grandma, our Wei family has strict rules. Why would my granddaughter leave the house in the middle of the night? That is against the rules. Even if your granddaughter goes to ask you for instructions, you will definitely not allow it. Why leave? Li family? My granddaughter is really confused."
Mrs. Wei's face was trembling with anger. If she hadn't been so stupid, she would have thought that the person she saw in Cuijin Tower last night was just a wild girl who looked like Wei Baozhu!
"Damn girl! You are going to rebel!"
Wei Baozhu trembled and started to cry, "Grandma, my granddaughter doesn't know what she did wrong to make her so angry... If Baozhu is really wrong, please ask grandma to say it clearly, and Baozhu will definitely change it!"
Mrs. Wei's heart felt tight. Could she tell her what she had told her granddaughter to do harm in front of her two daughters-in-law?
This damn girl has hard wings! I have a backer! How dare you confront her!
She waved her hand and turned to the two Princess Yuanheng.
The man said, "You two go back first!"
Princess Yuanheng stood up and left without saying a word. The third lady, Guo, still didn't want to finish her thoughts, but she didn't dare to stay any longer. Even if she stayed, she just wanted to see the excitement. She had already guessed what happened last night from a few words of the Li family. about there!
But why was Wei Baozhu suddenly given in marriage to the fourth prince as a concubine?
Could it be that the fourth prince saved Wei Baozhu last night?
In other words, the man Wei Baozhu secretly associates with is the fourth prince?
The Third Madam frowned as she thought about it.
If the Wei Mansion really becomes the fourth prince's in-law family, then her natal family will definitely be involved, which is no small matter!
No, she has to go back.
After the two of them went out, Mrs. Wei walked directly to Wei Baozhu and said, "Now, you can speak clearly!"
Wei Baozhu lowered his head, looking at the unassuming but extravagantly luxurious skirt embroidered with peonies, and said, "Grandma, what do you want to hear from Baozhu?"
Mrs. Wei held back a breath of anger. If Wei Baozhu hadn't been holding the imperial edict, she would definitely have kicked her away!
"I asked you how you escaped from the Li family and how you were taken away by the fourth prince!"
Wei Baozhu raised her head. She was already fifteen years old. It was the time when her penis was growing rapidly. She was only taller than Mrs. Wei.
At this time, the two of them were standing face to face. Mrs. Wei actually had to raise her head slightly to look at level with Wei Baozhu.
She missed the wrong tooth, turned back and sat down.
Wei Baozhu said: "Li Qingyi brought me back to Li Mansion from Cuijin Tower, firstly for interrogation, and secondly so that I could get the punishment I deserve."
"Interrogation?" Mrs. Wei's eyes darkened a bit, "Then what did you say?"
"I said this partly to avenge my mother, and partly to force Ruan to commit suicide, and then naturally become Li Yong's new wife."
"You didn't say anything else?"
Wei Baozhu looked straight at her and spoke truthfully, "The Wei family is my natal family. If I don't die, I will have to rely on my natal family in the future, so naturally I won't give up my grandmother easily."
Mrs. Wei stared at her closely, as if trying to determine whether what she said was true or false, "Then why were you taken away by the fourth prince again?"
"Li Qingyi wanted to kill me with a thousand knives, but she thought it would be too cheap to kill me directly. She said that since I wanted glory and wealth, she would send me to a remote village to marry a cripple and fool, and I would suffer for the rest of my life. Poor. But she didn’t know that on the way back to Li Mansion from Cuijin Tower, I secretly passed a message to the Fourth Prince’s people, begging Your Highness to come and save me.”
Wei Baozhu would not tell anyone about his conversation with Li Qingyi.
The Li family can stand upright as the crown prince, but she cannot blatantly go against the wishes of the Wei family and follow the fourth prince. Otherwise, she will betray the Wei family and be a sinner of the Wei family.
She could only be forced to become the fourth prince's concubine! new
Therefore, she not only had to accept the conspiracy that Li Qingyi played on her, but she also had to think of a way to smooth things over!
Likewise, she would not tell the truth to the fourth prince.
The fourth prince only knew the reasons why she fell into Li Qingyi's hands and had to ask him for help. He did not know that Li Qingyi wanted her to be his concubine.
It is easier to accept a life-saving favor than a conspiracy.
Mrs. Wei digested Wei Baozhu's words for a while, then asked: "Then what's going on between you and the Fourth Prince?"
