Chapter 384 True Gold Rebirth 14
The Marquis's wife didn't say anything, but she didn't believe it. How could a servant have such great power without anyone fanning the flames?
"Madam," Madam Liu lowered her voice, "I ran into a maid sweeping the yard in the eldest lady's courtyard and casually asked her a few questions. The maid said she had also heard the rumor. It was first spread by the maidservant beside the eldest lady. Moreover, the servant and the maidservant beside the eldest lady were from the same hometown."
At this point, there is no need to investigate who was behind this incident.
Mrs. Hou frowned. She didn't understand why Wei Nanyun, who was so dignified and well-behaved in front of her, had so many little thoughts in private.
"Madam, maybe the young lady just returned home and is feeling anxious, so she wants to make a good name for herself."
"You shouldn't take all the benefits for yourself regardless of the circumstances."
That's it.
This matter has already been spread, and it is not appropriate for the Marquis' Mansion to come forward to refute it, otherwise it will make people in the capital laugh at it.
It’s just that Xier is too wronged.
The Marquis's wife thought for a moment and said, "Give Xier the gold-cast jadeite bracelet with five colors of fortune, wealth and longevity from my dowry. I estimate that the Zhennan Marquis's Mansion will come to propose marriage soon. When that happens, I will add another 20% to Xier's dowry and use it from my private vault."
Although she lost her good reputation, I believe the old lady knows what is right and wrong. Although Xier and Yiqin love each other and the dowry is generous, it is also Xier's confidence.
As for Yun'er.
The Marquis's wife sighed. She felt that she was sorry for the child and would just teach him slowly.
"Since she wants this reputation, then have Madam Li bring the Filial Piety Sutra over tomorrow and have her copy it ten times. Then, she can kneel in front of the small Buddhist temple in the mansion and chant sutras and pray for the old lady for three days. This will fulfill her filial piety."
Nanny Liu knew the Marquis's dilemma and quickly agreed upon hearing it.
When Wei Nanxi saw the colorful bracelet, she knew that her mother must have heard the rumors outside, and this was compensation for her because she felt guilty towards her.
The bracelet was delivered by Nanny Liu herself. When Wei Nanxi saw it, she was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly and took the bracelet.
When Liu Ma Ma went out, she looked back and saw Wei Nanxi with her head down, tightly holding the bracelet in her hand, looking very lonely.
"Hey."
Nanny Liu sighed.
How could fate play such a trick on me? Why isn't Miss Xier a descendant of the Marquis's family?
But she didn't know that Wei Nanxi was not disappointed. Even if she hadn't gone to the Huguo Temple to ask for the talisman, her grandmother would have been fine that day. If it weren't for the premonition in the dream, everyone, under Wei Nanyu's deliberate guidance, would have really believed the words that brought good luck.
Although Wei Nanyun still got the reputation this time, it was already good enough to receive the guilt and heartache from the people in the mansion.
Wei Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little confused.
She wasn't the Marquis' biological daughter, so it was normal for Wei Nanyun to compete with her, but, but——
Wei Nanxi looked at the place where she grew up, pursed her lips, and held the colorful bracelet tightly.
Wei Nanyun didn't know that two people in the Marquis' Mansion already had opinions about her. In the next few days, she also saw Jing Yiqun, who came to the mansion under the pretext of sparring with Wei Nanzhang, but actually came to see Wei Nanxi.
She behaved dignified and politely, not showing the slightest sign of strangeness towards Jing Yiqun.
Jing Yiqun knew that she was Wei Nanxi's sister, and nodded slightly as a greeting.
Wei Nanyun looked at Jing Yiqun's back and thought to herself: It's almost there, it's almost here. From now on, when Jing Yiqun comes to Wangbei Marquis Mansion again, he can only come to find her, Wei Nanyun!
She only dared to take a quick glance and quickly turned her head away, but was met with Captain Nan Zhang's inquiring gaze.
"Second brother."
She quickly smiled and said, "I just learned how to make a new snack. Can I make it for my second brother later?"
Wei Nanzhang shook his head: "No, I still need to go find my eldest brother."
He was in a hurry. This time Jing Yiqun came not only for Xier, but also to deliver a big news.
The imperial physician in the palace took the emperor's pulse and found that the emperor's pulse showed that he had already reached the stage of natural decline and would not last many more days.
In the next few days, Wei Nanyun couldn't see Wei Nanxu, Wei Nanzhang, or the Marquis no matter where she went. Even if she met them occasionally, they were always in a hurry.
Moreover, Nanny Li has been much stricter with her recently. Not only does she teach her etiquette, but she also repeats the rules and regulations for women to her over and over again.
She said a lot of words about caring for sisters, and Wei Nanyun was very annoyed.
The only good news was that her grandmother had sent a message asking her to come over for dinner. Wei Nanyun was overjoyed, feeling that her previous plan had finally paid off.
The old lady of the Marquis' Mansion was always serious and distant. This was something Wei Nanyun knew in her previous life, but she had never eaten with this old lady. She didn't expect her to be so depressed. Even though she kept making fun of her and saying flattering words, the old lady seemed indifferent. She only asked Nanny Shen to give her one thousand taels of silver when she left.
silver?
Wei Nanyun's face turned dark.
How is this different from a payment-for-goods arrangement?
When she learned that the old lady turned around and gave Wei Nanxi more things, she couldn't help but curse out loud in the house.
He Ye stood outside the house and didn't dare to come in. When Wei Nanyun saw this, she secretly called him a waste!
I thought she could get Nanny Shen to help her, and I thought she was capable, but I didn't expect her to be so timid all day long and not dare to get close to her, like a timid mouse.
What bad luck!
When the funeral bells rang in the imperial city, a group of cavalrymen on the official road galloped past the post station closest to the imperial city. The man in the lead had a little blood on his black armor.
When the funeral bell rang, Ji Yanli didn't even raise his eyebrows.
He had been away for a long time on this mission and finally came back.
……
The new emperor ascended the throne in front of the late emperor's coffin, completing the transfer of power.
The Sixth Prince, who had been away for a long time, also returned at this time with the head of King Ronglu, and brought an exciting piece of good news.
The Yan Dynasty army has occupied the Ronglu imperial capital and all the royal family members have been imprisoned. They are just waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne so that they can arrange for people to establish a new administrative agency. There will be no more Ronglu Kingdom in the future.
The new emperor had obviously received the good news long ago. At this moment, he said several good words, and his brows were full of joy and pride.
The Sixth Prince then produced evidence of the Second Prince's collusion with the Ronglu people. The Second Prince was arrested on the spot and imprisoned in the clan house, awaiting reckoning after the coronation ceremony.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Sixth Prince, regardless of his status as a brother of the same mother as the new emperor, or his achievements, would only rise in status in the future.
Even Wang Beihou couldn't help but sigh when he returned.
Unfortunately, this hero is not his son-in-law.
