After a few days, Wei Hanzhang felt dizzy and complained bitterly. He shook Jiang's hand and said, "Mother, let me rest for a while."

Half of Jiang's body was shaken by her. She really couldn't do anything with her daughter and didn't want to restrain her.

Just as she was about to let her go to play, she thought of something and said softly, "Mrs. Yu will be getting married soon. You two are sisters, do you want to go and meet her?"

Wei Hanzhang was stunned and said in surprise, "So soon? I didn't even know when that family came to propose marriage."

"There is no such thing as a marriage proposal. This is not a formal marriage."

Jiang put down the atlas in her hand and sighed softly: "Ran Ran, with Yu Niang's previous experience as a lesson, you must remember that if a girl makes a mistake, she will be doomed. You must be careful in your words and deeds in the future, and never do the same thing as that day again."

Although the incident at the Jiaofangsi turned out well in the end, Jiang still felt scared every time she thought about it. If the old doctor had not come forward to help with the treatment that day, her daughter would have really gone inside to find a doctor.

Once she entered the Jiaofangsi, there would be no place for her in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. The women who could enter the Jiaofangsi were either official prostitutes or brothels, nothing else.

Wei Hanzhang knew that she shouldn't question the decision of her elders, but in front of Jiang, she didn't need to worry too much. After a moment's hesitation, she couldn't help but say, "Eighth sister didn't do anything wrong. She was pushed into the water by Shen Li Niang, and then hugged by Shen's father and cousin maliciously. She is the victim!"

"What's wrong with that? If she had followed you guys that day, she wouldn't have given Shen's third wife a chance to take advantage of you. Why was she the one who was pushed into the water instead of you or Su Niang?"

So many days have passed, and the cause of Wei Hanyu's fall into the water has long been found out.

Jiang said, "Because she was so fascinated by the young master of Duke Chen's mansion in the pavilion, she was easily pushed into the water. Otherwise, Shen Li Niang would never dare to use any force to avoid being seen. How could she fall into the water?"

Wei Hanzhang was stunned. She didn't know there was such a reason.

"Don't feel sorry for your eighth sister."

Jiang said in a gentle voice: "You were there that day, and many men in the crowd saw Yu Niang's appearance. She can't find a good marriage in the capital. If she marries the cousin of the Shen family, it will be even more annoying. Finding an ordinary family far away to marry her is the best arrangement for her."

This is the truth. The Wei family will never allow Wei Hanyu to marry the cousin of the Shen family. If they really get married, the brother of one son-in-law's concubine will become another son-in-law in their family. Wouldn't that be very annoying?

Wei Hanzhang looked at his mother and said, "Sixth sister, does this marriage with the Shen family have to happen? The second son of the Shen family was so dissolute before his marriage. If Sixth sister marries him, I don't know how much trouble she will have in the future."

"If we had just discussed the marriage, this marriage could still be changed, but it certainly can't be changed now."

Jiang's eyes were full of love as she taught, "Don't worry about what will happen to them after they get married. The Shen family's father and son are not stupid people. They will give your sixth sister an explanation. As long as our Wei family doesn't fall, you girls will not be neglected by your husband's family after you get married."

"Even if you find another marriage, it may not be more perfect," Jiang tapped her daughter's forehead and pretended to reprimand her, "Compared to you, your sixth sister is much more stable. She will not live a bad life no matter who she marries. You should worry less about others."

After hearing Jiang's words, Wei Hanzhang felt relieved. She covered her forehead and snorted, "It's only been less than two months since my daughter returned to Beijing, and mother has already started to dislike me."

"Why would I dislike you?" Jiang smiled, took her daughter's hand, gently rubbed her forehead, and said with a smile: "My Ranran is no worse than anyone else. She is a little spoiled, but she is very reasonable and kind. Your grandmother taught you very well."

Even if her own child is useless, he is still a dragon and a phoenix in the eyes of his mother.

"Go ahead," Jiang had just come back from the fourth room this morning to add makeup. She said, "Yu Niang will be married to Yuezhou soon. She doesn't know if she will ever return to Beijing. As sisters, you can give her something as a token of remembrance."

Wei Hanzhang understood what her mother meant, that she was asking her to remember to add some makeup to her poor sister, and she nodded slightly in agreement.

…………

The weather in early May was sunny and windy. The summer insects that had woken up early in the courtyard of the fourth room of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion had begun to chirp tentatively, and the buzzing sounds brought some vitality to the courtyard.

The masters of the four rooms have been in a bad mood recently. The servants have to live their lives according to their moods and act cautiously for fear of making mistakes. They dare not even smile.

As soon as they stepped into the territory of the Fourth House, all the servants and maids they saw along the way lowered their heads and ears, with sad faces.

Wei Hanzhang brought two personal maids into the Jianxia Courtyard where Wei Hanyu lived. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard the fourth room mistress Jiang whispering to comfort her daughter.

A servant went in to report, and after a while, Jiang came out and forced a smile when she saw her: "Ran Ran is here."

Wei Hanzhang greeted her and said, "Aunt Fourth, how are you?"

It is pitiful to see the love of parents in the world. Mrs. Jiang has not had a good sleep for days since her daughter fell into the water. Her face looks haggard and she may faint at any second.

She wiped her tears and said, "Go in and help me persuade Yu'er. She hasn't eaten anything for two days. She will leave for Yuezhou the day after tomorrow. The mountains are high and the road is long. What will happen if she collapses?"

Wei Hanzhang nodded gently and said in a gentle voice: "Fourth Aunt, please take a rest first. Now that things have come to this, you can't let your body collapse. Yu Niang will still need your care in the future."

Who says it isn't true? Even though Wei Hanyu married far away, her husband's family is also an official family, and what happened in the capital would always reach their ears. Although it was a marriage of low status, there was no guarantee that her husband's family would mind.

If she really wants to do something to torture others, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery may not be willing to stand up for Wei Hanyu. At that time, the only people she can really rely on will be her biological parents and brothers.

Jiang understood this logic, and after giving a few more instructions, she was helped by her personal nanny back to her room to rest.

When she pushed open the door, she saw Wei Hanyu leaning on the soft couch by the window. When she saw her come in, tears rolled down her plain face, her hair and makeup were disheveled, and her cheeks were pale. She had long lost the noble and decent appearance of a daughter of a marquis.

Wei Hanzhang's heart skipped a beat when she saw this, and she almost didn't recognize that this was her eighth sister.

Although they were illegitimate sons and legitimate daughters, the family was still the same. As long as Wei Ping's grandfather was a marquis, Wei Hanyu would be the precious daughter of the marquisate. But at this moment, she...

When Wei Hanzhang came to her, his nose felt a little sour: "I haven't seen you for a few days. How come Sister Yu has become so thin?"

"Ran Ran..." Wei Hanyu cried out with a mixture of sorrow and resentment: "My grandmother told me to accept my fate, my aunt told me to accept my fate, even my mother told me to accept my fate. Everyone told me to accept my fate. Tell me, should I accept my fate?"
