Chapter 21 Give Me
After Fu Yi stood up, Nanny Shi reported the matter to him.
"Let me take a look at the post."
"yes."
Fu Yi's eyes swept across the paper, and then he placed the post in front of Cheng Nianying.
"Wei family? Sent by the Wei family from Hening Lane?" he asked.
Aunt Shi groaned, "That's inconvenient."
Cheng Nianying picked up the note and read it carefully twice. The handwriting was beautiful. In the lower right corner, two flower stamens were carefully outlined, with a faint plum fragrance.
It’s just a post, but it’s so thoughtful.
She wanted to ask why it was inconvenient to go, but she was afraid of being exposed, so she had to hold it in.
Fortunately, the Danshuo Prince spoke sympathetically at this moment: "This Wei girl's father was awarded the title of General Wujie and is currently serving in Qingzhou. She and her mother, Jiang, live in Hening Lane. Jiang has an eccentric personality, so her only legitimate daughter is still unmarried at the age of twenty-one."
"The Wei family sent an invitation to the Prince's Mansion. Was the girl from the Wei family good friends with you in the past?" He looked at Cheng Nianying.
Cheng Nianying has an excellent memory.
She clearly remembered that the servants in the Marquis' Mansion did not mention this girl from the Wei family in their narration.
She chose to tell the truth: "We are not friends."
"I've only heard the name." Although I only heard it in the past few days.
Nanny Shi raised her hand to pour tea. "Then it's better not to go... I think we can go to the outskirts of the city to relax. Oh, and there's Muyang Manor on the outskirts of the city. How about staying there for a few days?"
Fu Yi laughed slowly and said, "The Princess went away to stay for a few days and left me behind?"
Nanny Shi slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, I missed it again."
Cheng Nianying looked at the smiling Prince Danshuo, and then at Nanny Shi who had a kind face.
She thought this moment was wonderful.
It vaguely resembled the home she imagined.
She had originally imagined what it would be like for the Marquis's wife to recognize her and have her own parents...
However, we were in a hurry during both meetings and didn't have time to say more.
"Do you want to go?" Fu Yi turned around and asked Cheng Nianying.
Cheng Nianying nodded frankly.
The more you hide something, the more suspicious it becomes.
"Then go play."
Fu Yi was so relieved to let it go that Cheng Nianying couldn't help but look at him again.
Fu Yi added, "I went to the private storehouse yesterday. If you want to take anything to the Wei Mansion, just pick it up yourself."
These words were not meant for Cheng Nianying.
Only when people around hear it will they know there is nothing to stop.
Nanny Shi took over and said, "I will accompany the Princess to choose one."
"Hmm."
So, when visiting someone's house, you have to bring a gift? Cheng Nianying muttered to herself. If it weren't for the purpose of killing that man, I would have suffered a loss.
I won’t go back next time.
Fu Yi watched them walk away.
Wu Xun came up at this time, lowered his voice very low, and asked: "Master, do you want to follow me to the Wei family?"
Fu Yi put down his chopsticks: "I won't follow." "Let's go."
Cheng Nianying picked out the gifts and got on the carriage.
Since Nanny Shi was also in charge of the affairs of the courtyard, the people who were taken out were still servants from the Marquis' Mansion.
The servants in the Marquis' Mansion were puzzled: "Why would they go to the Wei family for no reason? That girl from the Wei family is not very likable."
Cheng Nianying only told Zou's mother about the murder.
That was because Mother Zou was efficient and knew how to read people's expressions. That day at the lakeside pavilion, Mother Zou was the first to respond.
Facing other people... Cheng Nianying said perfunctorily: "How could I dare to see those friends in the past?"
The servants in the Marquis' Mansion thought the same.
"I've never dealt with this Miss Wei before, but now that I'm dealing with her, I'm not afraid of making mistakes."
They wanted to say something, but then they saw Cheng Nianying leaning against the wall of the carriage and resting with her eyes closed.
Then they looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
They were thinking that this fake girl would have more time to rely on them in the future, but she was so comfortable in the Prince's Mansion... Now she was ignoring them even more.
They walked quietly all the way to the gate of Wei's mansion.
The servants in the Marquis' Mansion finally got the upper hand and were the first to get out of the carriage, raising their chins and saying, "The Princess is here."
The doorman immediately showed a look of panic: "The Princess? ... She actually came!"
He forgot to say anything more and turned around and ran inside, probably to make an announcement.
The servants in the Marquis' Mansion straightened their backs and finally had the energy to look down on others. One of the maids curled her lips and said, "Why are you so unruly? Didn't the mansion teach you well?"
On the day when they were brought here as dowry, they were so anxious and uneasy that they felt like they would rather die than live.
I didn't expect that today would be such a light day.
At this moment, Cheng Nianying jumped off the carriage and glanced at them strangely: "Is it wrong for him to be happy? How can it be called losing composure?"
One of the maids quickly poked the other and scolded, "You are the one who has no manners. Why don't you help the princess get off the carriage?"
The maidservant faltered, and her arrogance subsided a little.
"You should talk less outside." Cheng Nianying said lightly.
It choked them deeply.
At this moment, I heard footsteps approaching.
A woman wearing lotus-colored clothes and a white cloak appeared before him.
The woman bowed from a distance: "Yanhua greets the Princess of the County."
That is the eldest daughter of the Wei family, the only legitimate daughter, Wei Yanhua.
Cheng Nianying walked closer and found that she was even taller than herself.
Because she is several years older than Cheng Nianying, her figure has fully grown and is very plump.
Cheng Nianying was not familiar with her, and she was not a person who was good at socializing, so she just nodded and asked the maid to present the gift she brought.
Wei Yanhua took it with both hands and bowed to express her gratitude.
The servants in the Marquis' Mansion were jealous.
After all, she was a princess of a county. Which girl in the boudoir would not have to bow to when she saw her? It was because the girl didn't know how to cherish her before.
Wei Yanhua seemed to be a person of few words, and led Cheng Nianying all the way into the door.
Only after entering the backyard did she say, "There are few people in the mansion, so it might seem deserted."
With fewer people around, it was easier for the man to appear.
It's not surprising to choose a place like this.
But I don’t know if this Miss Wei has any connection with that man.
Could it be that he was the lover of many women?
This reminded Cheng Nianying of the male prostitutes in Sinanfang in the city.
"I sent invitations to many people, but I didn't expect the Princess to actually come." Wei Yanhua whispered.
The maid frowned. What does this mean?
Wei Yanhua brought Cheng Nianying into a pavilion and said, "Besides the Princess, there is only one person here. This is the girl from the Meng family."
Cheng Nianying looked over.
The woman, who was shorter than she, timidly stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Princess of the County."
It's so shabby!
It looks even more dilapidated than our mansion!
The maid was shocked.
This girl from the Meng family, I haven’t even heard of her name in the Imperial Capital!
Why would I want to attend such a banquet? It would be so embarrassing!

At the Prince's Mansion, a little palace maid ran in quickly and said happily, "Sister Mu He, the Prince is here to visit you again."
Mu He had always been in good health, rarely ill. This treatment was completely unfamiliar to her, yet it made her incredibly excited.
It turns out that women sometimes really need to show weakness...
As she was thinking about it, she saw Wu Xun pushing Fu Yi in.
Fu Yi said calmly, "Where's the talisman that the Princess gave you? Give it to me."
The magnolia tree stood there for a moment.
It turns out...it turns out that he was just here to get this thing.
