"Now when the Du family calls, they leave very quickly. It's really despicable."
Wei Jialian didn't have much impression of her eldest sister-in-law Liu. Instead, she was unhappy with Xuenniang who was about to marry into the Guo family. At first, she thought that Xuenniang would never be able to turn things around, and would probably be coaxed by her aunt and uncle to marry far away.
Who knew that she would end up in the Guo family? ! Such good fortune, which girl in Sui'an City would not envy her, but is she worthy of it? So there was a lot of disgust and jealousy in her eyes. The carriage gradually went away, and the two sisters withdrew their gazes and turned to the main topic.
"You, do you have someone you like?"
Silang's wife is Wei Jialian's elder sister. The two sisters had a very good relationship before they got married, so she could guess what her sister was thinking to some extent. She just didn't know who the other person was, so she asked her to come to Changchun Tower to chat alone after the banquet.
Wei Jialian chuckled when she heard this, her face full of feminine shyness.
During this period, the Fourth Prince showed a lot of concern for her, both overtly and covertly, but considering that it had only been a month since his wife's death, both of them were very restrained.
Wei Jialian wanted to save face, and the Fourth Prince couldn't ruin his own reputation. Otherwise, even if they got married in the future, people would probably talk about it.
"No, sister, are you overthinking it?"
"No? Then why do I feel like the Seventh Prince is always secretly looking at you, several times?"
Silang's wife was not as cunning as her mother-in-law, Madam Wei, and her aunt, Princess Fu, so she never thought that the person who interacted so often with her younger sister Wei Jialian would be the "affectionate" Fourth Prince.
Instead, he focused on the wrong clue and thought that it was the Seventh Prince who was covering for the Fourth Prince.
So Wei Jialian said it openly.
"Don't worry, sister. I will never marry the Seventh Prince."
The one she had her heart set on was the Fourth Prince, so how could she possibly be involved with the Seventh Prince? It was just that the timing was not right, so she had even kept it a secret from her own sister.
Hearing this, Silang's wife let out a long sigh and said.
"I'm deeply regretful about marrying your brother-in-law. I originally thought that since my aunt had become the Duke's wife, Silang would have a chance to become the Duke in the future. But now... I really regret it. You are the only child in the family who has not started a family. I hope you can find a good husband and live a good life. You'd better not listen to my mother-in-law. She is used to coaxing people!"
These days, Silang's wife has seen through some of the things going on at home.
Before Shang Ji came back, her mother-in-law, Madam Wei, was a person who had the final say in the rear house. At that time, their family was the most prominent in the Duke's Mansion.
But since the great general came back, everything has changed.
Her son's leg was broken and his future was ruined. Her husband was a hopeless person from beginning to end and was as annoying as her father-in-law. Her mother-in-law lied to her every day, saying that the Duke's Mansion would return to their family in the future.
But it has been so long and there is still no result.
Even the position of Duke has become a temporary one for their father-in-law. When Shang Zhiping comes back, I'm afraid there will be no place for them in the Duke's Mansion. It's really upsetting.
So, she realized that there was something fishy going on. Seeing that her sister had been getting close to her mother-in-law recently, she was afraid that she might want to repeat the same trick again, so she kindly reminded her.
It's a pity that Wei Jialian's heart has already submitted to the "broad road" paved for her by Madam Wei and Princess Fu, and naturally she would not listen to her sister's advice. So, she tried to mediate.
"Sister, you can't say that. Aunt has always been doing good for our Wei family. Look at how she has done us since she took the position of the Duke's wife. Just one miscalculation wiped out all her contributions. This won't do. I say you should just wait patiently. One day, your wish will come true."
Wei Jialian thought that if she successfully became the Fourth Prince's consort and then helped the Fourth Prince seize the throne, then she would be the Queen.
By then, with the Wei family's contributions, naturally whatever they say will come true. Even if they can't get the position of a duke back from Shang Zhiping, they can give another one to He'er.
So, she is very confident at this moment.
Seeing such an attitude, Silang's wife couldn't help but shake her head. Isn't this the same look she had when she was coaxed by her aunt?
It's a pity that she wouldn't listen to anything at that time, so she was only thinking about marrying her cousin (Shang Silang). Now it seems that she was really blind.
The two sisters finally parted ways unhappily. One couldn't be persuaded, and the other wouldn't listen. Naturally, there was nothing to say. After they parted ways, Silang's wife naturally returned to the Duke's Mansion, while Wei Jialian went straight to Prince Fu's Mansion.
These days, she acted like she lived in Prince Fu's mansion and wanted to go there at any time.
Another person who often appears in Prince Fu's Mansion like her is Madam Wei. The three of them now have a very good relationship, like people wearing the same pants. They get together all day long to think about what to do next.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
They were plotting, and the people in the East Palace were also busy.
"The position of the Fourth Prince's wife has been vacated, and I believe someone will want to surrender. The Earl's Mansion may not be able to pick out a suitable woman to send over, so I think these families are the most likely."
Then Prime Minister Guo took out a list with a total of eight families listed on it.
Some of them had already surrendered to the Fourth Prince, while others were still wavering. After the prince took it and looked around carefully, he finally landed on the name of Wei Jialian from Wei Taiwei's mansion and frowned.
"Grandfather, didn't this Wei Taiwei always want to be attached to me but was not granted his wish? Would a man like him really turn against my fourth brother just to show his pride?"
"Your Highness, it's not necessarily that Wei Taiwei wants to switch sides. Maybe it's his granddaughter who is worried about him and wants to drag the whole family to join his side."
"Wei Jialian?"
"Well, in recent days, this young lady of the Wei family has been in and out of Prince Fu's mansion many times, and has had pleasant conversations with the Princess of Fu and Madam Wei of the Duke's mansion. Although there is no solid evidence to explain her thoughts, think about it, how did the Princess of Fu come to power? I'm afraid that this young lady of the Wei family will follow suit. If she becomes inseparable from the Fourth Prince and causes some scandal that cannot be tolerated in the family, Your Highness, what are the chances of the Wei family turning against us?"
Prime Minister Guo has been shrewd and calculating for many years, so he is certainly not a pushover.
News from Sui'an City poured into his study like the sea every day, and he soon noticed this.
I didn't have time to update the previous holidays because I was sick. Now that I'm feeling much better, I'll still schedule it! I'll update the Mid-Autumn Festival first~ I'll come back soon~
