Jiang looked at Liu Wanning's back and frowned, "As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. I think she has completely hated you."

To this day, she still firmly believes that the accident involving her eldest daughter was closely related to the Anguo Mansion.

Wei Hanzhang smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted the back of her hand, comforting her: "Don't worry, mother, how can I be afraid of her?"

Whether openly or secretly, there was no way she would be afraid of Liu Wanning.

If she really wanted to give her man half to Liu Wanning because she was afraid of his revenge, then she, the Crown Princess, would become a joke.

"Also, you today..." Jiang's brows were not relaxed, and she said earnestly: "Ran Ran, you are going to marry the future emperor. Being jealous is indeed a serious sin. Don't rely on His Highness's love and respect to be too unreasonable."

Knowing that his mother's deeply rooted ideas could not be changed in a short time, Wei Hanzhang did not intend to persuade her with words. Hearing this, he just said, "Don't worry about it, mother. I know what I am doing."

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Let's go see Seventh Sister." She stood up and walked out of the hall. "Seventh Sister was bitten by a snake on her foot yesterday. She suffered a lot. Now she can't move around easily. It would be good for us to chat with her."

"You..." Jiang shook her head helplessly, knowing that her daughter had her own ideas, and didn't say anything else.

Mei Gu followed behind and whispered, "Doctor Wei said that Miss Seven's leg injury is not serious. She will be able to move freely after a few days of rest."

"Fortunately, the green snake's poison is not serious," Wei Hanzhang said sweetly as he walked, holding Jiang's hand.

"Mother, you don't know that this time, Seventh Sister suffered this undeserved disaster because of me."

She briefly told her mother about the insect-attracting powder on her new dress custom-made at Jinyi Pavilion. She was afraid that her mother would worry, so she played it down.

Jiang was still frightened by what she heard. She looked her up and down for a long time, with a worried look on her face: "Who on earth came up with such a vicious plan? My son must be scared, right?"

It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. Now thinking back to the densely packed snake nest yesterday, Wei Hanzhang got goosebumps.

She was still frightened, but still smiled and said, "It's all over. I'm not injured. Mother, you don't need to worry about me. It was my Seventh Sister who was bitten by a snake."

During the conversation, the mother and daughter arrived at the side hall where Wei Hansu lived.

Wei Hansu was lying on the couch, her lips were pale and her eyes were red, as if she had just cried. Her personal maid was talking to her carefully.

Seeing her stepmother coming, she hurriedly wiped the tears from her cheeks and wanted to stand up to salute.

Jiang took a few quick steps forward and held her hand to stop her, saying softly, "You are injured, just lie down, no need to be polite."

"Thank you, mother." Wei Hansu pursed her lips and smiled, then looked at Wei Hanzhang carefully and asked with concern: "Is Ranran hurt? They all said that you are fine, but I didn't see you, so I am always a little worried."

"Don't worry, Seventh Sister, I'm not injured." Wei Hanzhang turned around and said with a smile, "Look, I can walk and jump, I'm fine."

"That's good." Wei Hansu looked down at his thickly wrapped ankle and said with a wry smile, "It hurts so much when a snake bites me. Fortunately, Ranran, a daughter of a rich family, doesn't have to suffer this."

Wei Hanzhang already felt a little guilty towards her, and he felt even more indebted after hearing what she said.

Faced with her pitiful appearance, I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wei Hansu looked a little reserved, but still nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, daughter."

Jiang really couldn't bear to see such petty look, so she patiently talked to her for a while, gave her a few more instructions, and then led the little girl out of the side hall.

"Your seventh sister, I don't know whose temperament you resemble." On the way, Jiang looked helpless and said, "Although Shen is a concubine, she has impeccable manners and etiquette, and her behavior is also generous. How could she give birth to such a timid daughter? It seems that someone has been mean to her."

As God is my witness, she was not harsh to her concubine's son, let alone her concubine's daughter who was only given a dowry. At most, she did not teach her wholeheartedly, but she never suppressed her deliberately either.

How could someone develop such a temperament that even people from small families wouldn't produce?

"She is one year older than you, and she is about to get married. Even if I conceal her feelings and marry her off..." Jiang's expression was complicated, and she said, "She can't stand up on her own. If she really meets a cruel husband's family, I'm afraid she will even lose her life."

It is not easy to be the mistress of a wealthy family. A wife is a lady of honor, and when she goes out to meet guests, she represents the reputation of the mansion. With Wei Hansu's timid personality, even a concubine may not be able to control her.

Marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations. This clay mistress is not much better than a wicked woman, but she occupies the position of the wife.

Since she has a sister who is the Crown Princess, he will not divorce her...

Wei Hanzhang frowned and thought, and as he thought about the secret methods in the rear quarters that he had seen and heard over the years, his expression gradually became horrified.

"Have you figured it out?" Jiang reached out and gently touched her daughter's forehead, smiling and saying, "If you ask me, with her weak and incapable personality, it would be best for her to become someone's concubine, but since His Highness has spoken, I can only find a kinder family for her."

Wei Hanzhang was also very helpless, but she had no ill feelings towards this concubine's sister. She frowned and pondered for a moment, then came up with an idea and said, "If it really doesn't work, why don't we invite a few old maids from the palace to teach her for a while?"

No matter whether it works or not, you have to try it.

Jiang said, "That's a good idea. I'll hire two maids for her when I get back to Beijing. Otherwise, if she gets married with such a temper, how can she stay in her husband's family?"

"Fortunately, her marriage is not yet decided, so there is still time for her to slowly correct it."

Previously, Wei Hansu was just a concubine's daughter of the second wife in the Marquis's Mansion. Before Wei Ping sent her to the Prince's Mansion to be a concubine, Jiang's plan for this concubine's daughter was to find her a husband in a lower-class family and send her off with a dowry.

With her personality, if she married into a small family, people would treat her well out of consideration for the Marquis's mansion. But if she married into a family of higher status, not to mention her social status, it would be difficult for her to be a wife just because of her personality.

The mother and daughter walked hand in hand and talked about Wei Hansu for a long time. As they were talking, Wei Hanzhang was suddenly startled.

After hesitating for a few breaths, she whispered, "Mother, there is something I have been thinking about, and I still think I should tell you."

Jiang glanced at her and asked, "What's the matter that makes you so embarrassed?"

She thought it was just another little thing between children, but she heard her daughter hesitantly say, "It's Seventh Sister. She seems to be interested in Master Chen."

"…What Prince Chen?" Jiang was startled at first, then asked in astonishment, "Is it the Prince of Duke Chen's Mansion?"
