"So, let's just wait and watch the excitement!"
Li Qingyi shook his head, "I'm just afraid that if Song Qian suddenly reacts, things will get messy again."
*****
Song Qian tossed and turned all night, and the more she thought about it, the worse she became.
Before Aunt Xue could solve it, another Jia Mengjun came.
Tinglan came over in the morning to help with the grooming. She saw that her master's eyes were black and blue, and it was obvious that he had not slept well. "Auntie, if you continue to worry like this, your body will be overwhelmed. There is no conclusion on this matter. Besides, this cousin's grandma I still have to listen to the old lady about my fate. If it doesn’t work, let the Song family come forward and mention the matter of correction. Who knows that the Song family and the Wei family have a tacit understanding for a long time, so maybe they can stop thinking about it? "
Song Qian frowned and thought, "My uncle already blamed me for what happened to Aunt Wen last time. If I go back to my parents' house and ask my uncle for help because of this kind of thing, I'm afraid I'll be scolded to death, but your words have reminded me."
Tinglan wondered, "What did Auntie want to understand?"
Song Qian sneered, "When the Lin family was still here, the Wei family let me in and agreed to the reform because they liked my uncle's connections. Now that the Wei and Song families are in close contact, what's wrong with Mrs. Wei?" Maybe she will put me aside and let Jia Mengjun get her wish? Even if she really wants to kill the donkey in the future, it will not be the helpless Jia Mengjun's turn to be the second wife of Wei! She has to be careful to choose a family background. Okay!」
Tinglan suddenly realized, "It seems that we have been anxious these past few days in vain! In this case, we might as well inform the cousin about the joints, so as not to keep her eyes on the second master, just like that toad. , Don’t bite but respond to others!”
Song Qian let out a long breath and chuckled, "That's it! However, this made me understand Guo's insidiousness."
"What did my aunt say?"
"That day in Songhe Hall, Jia Mengjun's eyes were all on the master. We saw it, couldn't Mrs. Guo not see it? But she knew clearly that Jia Mengjun's thoughts were on our master, but she still secretly used her hands and feet to seduce Jia. Mengjun, why? You still don’t know the key to this, you know that Jia Mengjun and the master can’t get along, and you’re afraid that she will turn around and target the third room!”
Tinglan thought: "This cousin has made it clear that she doesn't want to be a concubine. She has her eyes on the position of the second wife since she came here. But if this idea doesn't come true, I'm afraid the third wife won't succeed either. The Guo family is even more powerful than the Song family. !」
"Having said that, what's going on with Mr. Guo and Mr. Wei? Who knows what might happen one day? There might be an opportunity to exploit!"
"That's true." Tinglan combed Song Qian's hair, "The third master cannot divorce the third wife, but letting Jia Mengjun be an equal wife will disgust the third wife!"
Song Qian's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea!"
Tinglan raised her head in surprise: "Auntie, are you going to seduce your cousin? I'm afraid that the old lady doesn't have this idea and won't agree."
"Humph, of course you can't do this openly!"
Song Qian seemed to have an idea and showed a comfortable smile.
The master felt comfortable, and the servant was happy. Tinglan also laughed, "Auntie, I can relax my worries and have a good sleep. I'll have breakfast soon, so why not sleep a little longer."
"We don't have to worry about Jia Mengjun's matter anymore, but Xue needs to resolve it as soon as possible."
Song Qian's brows showed a trace of sinisterness. After she came to the Wei Mansion, she also understood a lot of things. She was no longer the little girl who had just arrived and was easily deceived!
*****
On the day of Mrs. Wei's birthday banquet, the married Wei Jin'er and Wei Baozhu returned to the Wei Mansion before dawn. It's just that Wei Baozhu came alone, and Wei Jin'er came with her husband Wang Yun.
When Li Qingyi and Wei Jin'er met, they naturally had some private conversations. When they talked about Wang Yun, Wei Jin'er blushed and smiled shyly, so she knew that the two of them got along very well.
But there were so many people today that the two sisters couldn't say much.
Princess Yuanheng and Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Song were busy greeting their wives and grandmothers. They also had to entertain guests.
In Luoyan Pavilion, Jia Mengjun was whispering to her wet nurse when Wei Ziying came to look for her.
"Cousin, why don't you go forward?"
Jia Mengjun is a friend
Not long after she arrived, she already had a certain amount of respect in front of the masters in the house. Even a group of concubines from the third bedroom could get along with her.
But she had something on her mind at the moment and had no time to chat with her, "Why is Sister Ying here?"
Wei Ziying said: "I couldn't intervene, so I came to the backyard."
Jia Mengjun advised Wei Ziying, "I'm an outsider, so I can't reach out to receive guests. Why don't you go? I'm also about to get engaged. I should show my face more. I shouldn't miss such a good opportunity."
Wei Ziying was not interested, "Although I am also a girl from the Wei family, I am just a concubine. It is not my eldest mother who has the final say on any future marriage. It doesn't mean anything whether I show my face or not."
Jia Mengjun shook his head and persuaded: "We are all sisters. You can just follow the eldest girls and help keep an eye on them. There is nothing wrong with it. It's not bad for her to take care of you on weekdays. Why do you think too much about it? Besides, you Although you are a concubine, given the status of the Wei family, you are also expected to be the main wife, so there is no telling if any lady or grandmother has a good impression of you and takes the initiative to propose marriage."
Wei Ziying was a little moved when she heard this.
Jia Mengjun thought to himself, who doesn’t want to have a good future?
"Go on, don't waste time on me. We'll talk later."
Wei Ziying stood up after hearing this, "Cousin, I'll go to the front first."
Wei Ziying nodded.
Shaking off his tail, Jia Mengjun looked at the wet nurse and began to dress up.
The Wei Mansion had just held a happy event for Wei Jin'er a few days ago, and today it was a birthday celebration. Everyone in the house was nourished by the joy, and it was so brilliant that it seemed to herald the Wei Mansion's future progress.
In the past few days, some embarrassing things happened frequently, but they were done behind closed doors, unable to stop colleagues and dignitaries from coming to support them.
When Li Qingyi and Wei Jin'er saw Wei Ziying coming, they didn't have any objections. As long as these people didn't cause trouble for them, it didn't matter.
However, Li Qingyi was still thinking about what was going on with Guo and Song Qian, so he winked at Chang Lan, who understood and said, "Girl, I will go and see if the princess has any assignments."
Li Qingyi nodded and saw a guest coming.
Xu Hanzhang was always arrogant, and this time was no exception. He greeted several people, but Wei Baozhu ignored her attitude and led her to the flower hall generously. Wei Jin'er looked at the two people's backs and muttered to Li Qingyi: "This Xu Hanzhang is so tall. If it were higher, I'm afraid we would only be able to see her nostrils. This person is the only one with the temperament of the second sister who can rub off against her!"
Li Qingyi looked at Xu Hanzhang's back, and she did not miss Xu Hanzhang's meaningful look towards her.
Ever since Song Linlang married the fourth prince, Xu Hanzhang rarely appeared with her.
Just as he was thinking about it, Song Lingyu came with Princess Rongling. She looked very much like her mother, full of heroism, and her every move exuded heroism.
Before Sister Li Qingyi could speak, she looked at Wei Jin'er excitedly, "Cousin Jin'er's face is so red, she must be getting along very well with her cousin-in-law."
Wei Jin'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Song Lingyu then lowered her voice and said to Li Qingyi: "You know, my sister, the princess, has fallen in love with my eldest brother early in the morning and has been fighting to come over. My grandfather loved her so much that he told me to take him with him. She, the eldest brother, had no choice but to agree. You know, Princess Kangle has a bad temper. Anyone within three feet of my eldest brother will be regarded as a vixen by her. She already knows about my eldest brother's proposal to marry you before. If the meeting makes you unhappy, please bear with it!"
Princess Kangle was the granddaughter of Prince Lian and the daughter of Princess Rongling's brother. She was extremely favored. She was granted the title of princess at a young age and she liked to follow Song Yang around since she was a child.
Li Qingyi was also made to laugh and cry by Song Lingyu, "Don't worry, I will definitely avoid her and your brother!"
Song Lingyu felt relieved when she saw Li Qingyi agreed. Her mother had to let her spread the word, for fear that they would cause trouble. How could Cousin Qingyi be as knowledgeable as Kang Le!
"There are a lot of people at this time, so you should be busy first. I will talk to you later when you are free!"
"Okay, go quickly."
The birthday guests came one after another, and Princess Kangle finally appeared. Li Qingyi stepped back neatly, and Wei Jin'er hurriedly stepped forward.
As soon as Princess Kangle met her, she asked, "Have you seen Song Lingyu? Where did she go?"
Wei Jin'er blinked and pointed in the direction of the flower hall.
Princess Kangle did not wait for her to salute and say hello, and left as fast as the wind. It seemed that she was going to please her cousin and future sister-in-law.
The guests were almost here, and Li Qingyi and others went to the flower hall.
Changlan turned around and came back, leaned next to Li Qingyi and said: "Girl, the third lady and Aunt Song are with the princess to entertain guests. There is nothing going on in the backyard. I am afraid that all the movement is at Aunt Xue's place."
Li Qingyi nodded, "Then just wait and see what happens."
In the flower hall, the noble ladies gathered in twos and threes with their familiar and close friends to talk. Song Lingyu tried her best to escape from Princess Kangle and ran to Sister Li Qingyi, "Cousin, you are so slow. I I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Qingyi and Wei Jin'er looked at each other and laughed helplessly. The sisters sat down and talked for a while. Chang Lan came over again. Li Qingyi asked: "How is Jia Mengjun's place? Is there anything unusual?"
Changlan said: "There is nothing unusual in Luoyan Pavilion. Jia Mengjun has been staying in his room and has never come out."
Li Qingyi always felt that Jia Mengjun's behavior was a bit strange, but he didn't know what his plans were.
Princess Yuanheng’s side.
She had heard Li Qingyi talk about Guo and Song Qian's secret plans before, and now she was staring at them from time to time.
However, nothing could be seen on their faces. It was still calm until they sat down at the table, and they almost never left her sight.
Song Qian didn't know that Princess Yuanheng was staring at her, but she knew that Mrs. Guo must be staring at her.
After being in the Wei Mansion for so long, she has learned a bit of pretense.
Halfway through the banquet, Ting Lan whispered beside her: "Auntie, the third master has withdrawn from the banquet."
Song Qian said softly, "Yeah", "I understand."
