Madam Wei's breathing became heavier when she heard her words. "You silly woman, how could reputation not be important? This world is very harsh on women. Once your reputation is bad, it will not only bring trouble to you, but also to your family. Weren't you very smart when you helped me last time? Now it's your turn, why are you so disappointing?"
She was really pissed off.
Especially when she saw that Yang Zhao was still calm and composed, Mrs. Wei became even more angry.
I almost went on stage to fight for her!
Seeing her wife like this, Nanny Song felt like holding her forehead with her hand. "Madam, why don't you listen to Qi Yanggong's thoughts first?"
Last time, Yang Zhao helped his wife make a great comeback with just one move, which shows that he is very smart and resourceful. Maybe he has a plan for this time.
Nanny Song reminded her wife when she came, but unfortunately, her wife seemed to have forgotten it as soon as she arrived.
However, Yang Zhao did not explain in the end.
He just changed the subject: "How did your aunt handle the matter last time? There shouldn't be any problems afterwards, right?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Wei's mood softened slightly as she recalled what happened at the Song Mansion gate that day. "It's nothing. Wei Xiu made a few more advances, wearing out Master's patience. In the end, he threatened her with a letter of severance and sent her back to her husband's family in the countryside. She probably won't dare come asking for money again."
"As for my crying stepmother-in-law and father-in-law, the master found an excuse and sent them back to their hometown to recuperate. They probably won't be back in the short term."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
She couldn't help but tell Yang Zhao in detail about the situation at that time. His beaming look made Nanny Song want to hold her forehead again. It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, but her own wife really did not treat Mr. Yang of Qi as an outsider.
But Nanny Song didn't stop her.
Even when Mrs. Wei didn't explain in detail, she would explain it casually.
Yang Zhao also listened to the whole thing.
It turned out that Madam Wei's sister-in-law was very ambitious. She returned to Beijing to take the opportunity to find an official position for her husband. However, she was too ambitious and could not stand her sister-in-law living a comfortable life. Not only did she make trouble for her, she even wanted to force her sister-in-law from her husband's family to her brother. In the end, she even drugged her and climbed into his bed with him.
The final result was a letter of severance.
I have to say that Wei Qin is a man of decisive means. If all men in the world could protect their wives as well as Wei Qin, how could there be so many women with miserable lives!
Mrs. Wei is a lucky person.
However, some things are mutual, and perhaps Wei Qin also feels that he is lucky.
"Let's not talk about that awful thing."
Madam Wei wanted to bring the conversation back to the previous topic, but Nanny Song tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Madam, don't you have a gift for Duke Yang of Qi?"
"Yes, I almost forgot."
Mrs. Wei hurriedly had the thing brought up and covered with a cloth, but it looked only about the height of a person.
"A Zhao, see if you like it."
Mrs. Wei personally stepped forward and lifted the covering cloth, revealing the original appearance of the gift.
It turned out to be a full-length mirror.
The carvings on the surrounding wooden frame were extremely delicate, with flying dragons and phoenixes, auspicious clouds and vines, and half of it was hollow and half was solid. It was very exquisite and beautiful. Coupled with the extremely clear mirror surface that could reflect even a person's pores, the maids and nannies present were simply shocked, especially those who were reflected in the mirror.
Everyone stared with wide eyes.
It's so clear.
It is simply not on the same level as the bronze mirrors they use every day.
When Yang Zhao saw the mirror, his pupils shrank slightly. He stood up and walked over. His fingers touched the smooth mirror surface, and a dark current flowed from the bottom of his eyes: "Mirror."
"Do you know this thing?"
Madam Wei was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "That merchant from Yun Country also said that this mirror is a rare treasure in the world. Apart from his country's royal family, it is absolutely not available anywhere else. It seems he is deceiving me."
This mirror cost her five thousand taels.
If the house had not increased the prize twelvefold, she would not have been able to spend five thousand taels in one go to buy the mirror. She did not expect to be cheated, and Mrs. Wei immediately became furious.
"I'll go and settle the score with him!"
"I'll go with you." Yang Zhao said.
Mrs. Wei, who was about to roll up her sleeves, was startled, and the words that Nanny Song was about to use to dissuade her were stuck in her throat.
In the carriage.
Madam Wei lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside. There was a bustling crowd of people. She couldn't help but glance at Yang Zhao who was in the same carriage. "A Zhao, are you really going to show up? Actually, I can go for this matter."
She thought Yang Zhao wanted to stand up for her.
Madam Wei was touched, but she was more worried about her. After all, the rumors about her and Prince Jade were so rampant that no one knew what they were. If she showed up at this time, she would probably attract people pointing fingers at her.
"I'm going to meet that vendor and ask a question."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei said nothing more.
When they were about to reach the shop, Mrs. Wei ordered someone to go to the shop ahead of them and clear out the people.
The shop owner looked confused.
When he saw Madam Wei, the shopkeeper immediately stepped forward with a bright smile and said, "Madam Wei, it's you who has come to visit us. This truly brings honor to our humble shop..."
"Okay, stop talking about this bunch of useless things. Where is the boy from Yun Country who sold me the mirror in your shop? Let him come out." Madam Wei interrupted the shopkeeper with a cold face.
When the shop owner heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
This shop was his ancestral business, but because he was not good at running it and the competition in all industries in Beijing was fierce, the shopkeeper had no choice but to listen to his relatives' advice and cooperate with the boy from Qi State, letting him sell some Yun State's "specialties" in his shop and taking 20% of the profit.
He remembered that two days ago, Madam Wei was tricked by Yun Xiaozi into spending five thousand taels to buy a mirror. Could it be that Madam Wei discovered something wrong with the mirror?
"Madam Wei, is there something wrong with the mirror? Don't worry, I will ask someone to call Yun Xiaozi out to you right away." The shop owner did not dare to delay and immediately asked the waiter to call someone.
During this period, he was sweating profusely, but he kept smiling.
For a merchant like him with no background, he would never dare to offend these dignitaries, otherwise he would die without knowing how. He just hoped that Yun Xiaozi could come out quickly and deal with this problem.
I regret it so much.
I should have known better than to listen to my relatives and agree to let this kid from Qi come to the shop...
Soon, a young-looking man was brought out by the waiter.
He was bleary-eyed.
It seems like it has just been dug out from the quilt.
When he saw Madam Wei, he immediately became energized, putting on a brilliant smile, his eyes full of flattery: "So it's you, Madam. I wonder if there's anything else you need? I happen to have several special things on hand, all rare and uncommon in the world. I'm sure you'll be interested."
