"Be quiet!" Wei Xiuyuan glared at Zhou Zhongan unhappily. He was shouting so loudly. Was he afraid that others wouldn't know that they were peeking at him?
"No, I'm talking about Wei Xiuyuan, that's my jade pendant, mine!" Zhou Zhongan said dissatisfiedly as he looked at Wei Houyuan who was trying to stop him.
"Are you afraid that others don't know you are here? Why would your jade pendant be in someone else's hands? Don't you have any idea?" Wei Xiuyuan rolled his eyes at Zhou Zhongan.
"I don't know her. She must have stolen my jade pendant sometime!" Zhou Zhongan didn't recognize her at all at this time. It was Jiang Jinyue whom he had rescued.
At this moment, he was just angry. You know, these days, in order to find his jade pendant, he even turned the toilet in Jiange upside down.
As a result, it happened to this woman.
She brought it out with such fanfare!
If someone with ulterior motives saw this and took the jade pendant, his position as the leader of the Sword Pavilion would have to be replaced by someone else.
"Take another look, you really don't recognize him?" Wei Xiuyuan rolled his eyes at the chattering Zhou Zhongan. He didn't understand how such a person could be in charge of Jiange.
"Do you know her?" Zhou Zhongan heard Wei Xiuyuan say this and realized that Wei Xiuyuan should know this woman.
...
...
"Old Wei, please take me to find her quickly!" Zhou Zhongan urged again.
"Are you sure that you didn't give this jade pendant to the girl when you were drunk?" Wei Xiuyuan asked Zhou Zhongan with a suspicious look on his face.
Zhou Zhongan choked when he heard this. Who is this Wei Xiuyuan?
Are you the kind of person who would grab a little girl and give her something when he’s drunk?
Even if you want to give something as a gift, it should be a sword!
Is he stupid?
Would you give away the jade pendant that symbolizes your status?
"Old Wei, do you think I am you? Giving things to people for no reason?" Zhou Zhongan was so angry. If he was really such a person, he would just accept it.
But there has never been a woman within a hundred meters of him. How could he deliver something to someone? It's simply impossible.
"Then if you go up to the girl and ask her to return the jade pendant to you in such a high-profile manner, how will others think of your relationship?" Wei Xiuyuan actually didn't want to get involved in this matter.
However, he saw that the relationship between Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue seemed different from the relationship between wives and concubines in ordinary families.
Moreover, if Zhou Zhongan rushed forward and asked for the jade pendant, it would inevitably have a bad influence on Tai Jingwan.
Xuanping Marquis Mansion, Tingsongju
"Look at you, why are you coming here at this time instead of staying in the yard and taking care of yourself?" Old Mrs. Tang looked at Tang Wan'er who was coming over and quickly scolded her.
"Aunt, I just wanted to come over and greet you." Tang Wan'er's face was extremely pale, but she still forced herself to bow to old Mrs. Tang.
"I'm an old woman, and I'm not leaving soon. Why don't you come over to pay your respects at any time?" Old Mrs. Tang said this, but in her heart she was very satisfied with Tang Wan'er's behavior.
In his heart, he felt that his niece was the best candidate for his daughter-in-law.
"Bah, bah, bah, aunt, please don't talk nonsense, I hope you live a long life." Tang Wan'er really didn't want anything to happen to old Tang. After all, old Tang was her best supporter.
"If I live a hundred years, wouldn't I become an old monster?" Old Mrs. Tang said with a smile.
"Aunt, Wan'er is here to apologize to you today." Tang Wan'er said as she knelt in front of old Tang.
"Why are you kneeling there, child? Get up quickly. Madam Qin, please help my cousin up." Old Mrs. Tang felt distressed when she saw Tang Wan'er like this.
"Aunt, you asked Wan'er to kneel. It's Wan'er's fault. I failed to protect the child of mine and my cousin. Wan'er is guilty." Tang Wan'er put herself in a very humble position.
After all, she knew very well that old Mrs. Tang had extremely high expectations for that child.
"Well, it's not your fault. I can only say that you are not destined to have that child." Old Mrs. Tang felt very upset when she thought of the child. After all, she had prepared herself to be a grandmother, but in the end, not long after, the child was gone.
However, Old Tang actually felt relieved.
After all, Tang Wan'er was just a cousin who was staying at home, and it would not sound good if the news got out.
"Aunt, please help Wan'er." Tang Wan'er said again.
"Don't worry, your aunt will find out the person who is gossiping. You won't suffer this in vain." Old Mrs. Tang comforted Tang Wan'er softly.
She was also very angry. If the two maids had not told Tang Wan'er about this, perhaps Tang Wan'er would not have had a miscarriage.
Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Tang felt very upset.
"Aunt, that's not what Wan'er is talking about." Tang Wan'er bit her lips lightly, feeling uncomfortable.
My aunt said that she loves her, so doesn’t she want to give her a name?
Thinking of this, Tang Wan'er shed tears silently.
"Oh, why are you crying? If you have suffered any injustice, just tell your aunt directly. You live in the Marquis Xuanping Mansion, and this is your home." Old Mrs. Tang looked at Tang Wan'er who was crying and said quickly.
"Aunt, Wan'er wants to marry my cousin!" Tang Wan'er was still kneeling on the ground, pleading with tears in her eyes.
"This..." Now it was Old Mrs. Tang's turn to not know how to respond to Tang Wan'er.
It is not impossible for Tang Wan'er to marry Gu Huaizhi, but now, Gu Huaizhi already has a wife and a concubine, and will soon have a concubine. At this time, letting her son marry her niece would not only be too conspicuous, but also in terms of status, she would not be able to surpass the previous ones.
However, Old Mrs. Tang felt that it was unfair to Tang Wan'er to let her niece become a concubine of the lowest rank.
"Niece understands. Please ask your aunt to have someone send my niece back to Jingning." Tang Wan'er pleaded sincerely at this time.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Jingning is not the place you should go." Old Mrs. Tang sighed when she heard her niece's words. She also knew what her niece meant. If she and her son were impossible, and now that this happened to her in the capital, her reputation would not be very good. It would be better for her to go to Jingning and let her brother find a suitable family for her.
"Aunt, Wan'er was treated in Deyitang before. I'm afraid many people in the capital know about Wan'er. How can Wan'er have the face to stay in the capital? Wan'er knows very well that aunt has a kind heart for Wan'er, but precisely because of this, Wan'er should not stay here and add to your troubles." Tang Wan'er said understandingly.
"Wan'er, aunt, I don't disagree with you marrying Huaizhi. It's just that Huaizhi already has a wife and a concubine, and I don't want to let my Wan'er down." Old Mrs. Tang said to Tang Wan'er in an evasive manner.
He did not mention at all that Gu Huaizhi was about to take a concubine.
"Wan'er knows." Tang Wan'er curled the corners of her mouth slightly, saying that she didn't want to put herself in a difficult position, but she just felt that she couldn't bring any help to her cousin.
"But, Wan'er, what do you think of Mingzhi?" Old Mrs. Tang thought to herself that her youngest son had not yet married, and did not need to inherit the title of the Marquisate. With the friendship between the eldest son and Wan'er, if Wan'er married Mingzhi, in the future, even if Huaizhi inherited the title, he would not treat the third son and his wife unfairly.
"Aunt!" Tang Wan'er was shocked. She didn't expect that old Mrs. Tang would have this idea and let her marry Gu Mingzhi?
