Beating her husband in half a joke and half a warning, Wei Changying hid her playful attitude and began to talk about business, "You are leaving now, what about... the matter of the Eastern Palace?"

Shen Cangfeng smiled and said, "Father has his own ideas. Don’t worry about it."

Wei Changying thought, "How can I don’t worry about it?" Planning to change the Crown Prince would be a major event that shook the country. Once it failed, even if the gentlefolks would not be implicated, the whole family of Grand Preceptor could not escape the death!

However, if Shen Xun actually hated the Shen Family, it would only be more troublesome to let him ascend to the throne. Thus, changing the Crown Prince would be imperative. However, such an important thing, if she didn't know about it, she wouldn't worry about it. But now since she had already known it, she didn't know its detailed progress. When Shen Cangfeng was at home, Wei Changying could still inquire about it with her husband privately and knew a little more about it.

Now, her husband was heading to Western Liang to make contributions and start his career, how could Wei Changying ask her father-in-law about this? How could she not worry about this matter in her heart?

However, there was no use to worry about this. How could she pester Shen Cangfeng to stay just because she was worried about this?

Wei Changying had to change the topic, "Western Liang is bitterly cold, and the equipment there cannot be complete. What should you prepare?"

"Don’t worry about this." Shen Cangfeng said with a smile, "The eldest brother and the second elder brother have been there for several years in the past few years. I will go and ask them tomorrow to make a list about things needed to bring and then we can just prepare according to the list."

Wei Changying remembered another thing and asked, "Are you taking Nian Shengyao along with you this time?"

Shen Cangfeng shook his head and said, "Although Mr. Nian is brilliant and good at strategy, he is not very good at military affairs. What’s more, he is a scholar. Western Liang is thousands of miles far, so it is too difficult to take him over. It's better to let him stay in the capital to help Father." He explained, "Before, the things for New Year’s ceremony are all bought by Shen Die and Shen Ju. This time I will only take Shen Die away and leave Shen Ju with you. In a few days, you can ask him to bring the list from the previous years to you. Then you can send things on my behalf. Of course, you can send more things slightly."

Wei Changying knew this was to show favor to her. She smiled blankly, put her arms around his neck, and said, "I know. Is there anything else you want to advise me?"

The people who signed up to go to the border this time were preparing vigorously. On the day of seeing off, Wei Changying was surprised to find that Gu Yiran was missing in the crowd. Wei Changying was busy along with Madam Su to make clear Shen Cangfeng’s matters and had no time to ask. When going back, she was in the same carriage with Madam Su. Wei Changying started talking, "I heard from my husband that Gu Ziming was also leaving in the same direction to Western Liang. But I didn't see him today."

Madam Su smiled and said, "Last time on Princess Linchuan’s birthday, you were summoned by Honored Consort. Didn't you pay attention to what the Empress said? Gu Yiran and Princess Chengxian were about to marry in two months. After the result of the martial arts performance on New Years’ Eve last year, Old Madam of the Gu Family entrusted the Empress to ask for this grace from the Emperor, so that Gu Yiran could leave after he married."

Madam Su continued, "The Qian Family also asked for the same grace for your second cousin’s fiancé after knowing it, and there is a shortage of people at the North Gate today."

Su Yulee engaged with her lineal cousin Qian Lian, and he also got this opportunity. Qian Lian had already been turned twenty years old and wanted to marry his cousin a long time ago. However, Su Yulee’s cousin Su Yuli delayed her marriage to the second half of this year because of her fiance Gu Naizheng’s filial piety. So Su Yulee could only get married on a later date.

"It is said that the second cousin’s wedding date is set at the end of the year?" Wei Changying was stunned. In this case, Qian Lian's delay would be too late.

Madam Su said, "It’s changed. Anyway, Gu Naizheng has already finished his filial piety. His mother passed away too abruptly. At that time, the two families had everything ready, and the marriage could proceed directly as soon as he finished filial piety. But your grandmother thought the ceremony in our family was cumbersome and solemn. At that time, the weather was hot, and she worried that Yuli would be too tired to get married at that time. So she proposed to change the marriage date to autumn. So Yulee’s day of marriage also changed to the early winter. Now Yuli will marry earlier so that Yulee's wedding date can be brought forward."

Wei Changying yelled and said, "I won't know about it if Mother doesn’t tell me so! When will the two cousins be married? I almost cause a delay in this important matter."

"Yuli’s marriage date is in next month, and Yulee’s is the day after Gu Yiran marries Infanta Chengxian." Madam Su smiled lightly, "You have been helping Cangfeng to pack things these days. The servants are also busy doing things, and you must have no time to think about these."

Wei Changying’s face turned red. She just married for four months, and her husband was heading to the border. If it weren’t that Western Liang was the hometown of the Shen Family, and Shen Cangfeng was the next Family Head appointed by Mingpei Hall, and her father-in-law and uncle tried so hard to seize this opportunity, she would be so worried that she couldn't sleep and eat well.

Even so, she was also melancholy in the past two days. With a heavy parting mood, just as Madam Su told, how could she still have the mind to worry about the wedding dates of her cousins?

Fortunately, Madam Su did not continue to teach her such things as "to be like a wife of a good family" this time. Instead, Madam Su said in a considerate way, "You and Cangfeng only get married for a few months, but now Feng'er is heading to the border. You have never been to Western Liang. It is unavoidable for you to worry about him. It’s really hard to be comprehensive when you are busy. Fortunately, the two marriages this time are both held by the Su Family. We just need to count the days and go to the houses for a wedding meal."

Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief and asked her mother-in-law what gifts she should give when the time came.

After returning home, no matter how sad Wei Changying was it was useless, her husband had already left and the three-year separation was a foregone conclusion. It was because she just got Duanmu Yanyu’s job, the managers came to ask for instructions. She didn’t have the effort to feel sad. The work for Duanmu Yanyu was much less than Mrs. Liu’s. However, for Wei Changying, who had never managed a house before, even if there were help from Mr. Huang and Mrs. He, she was a little flustered when started.

It took several days for Wei Changying to manage it, and then things became easier for her to handle.

When Wei Changying felt that she could relax a little, bad news came from the Su Mansion that Wei Zhengyin was ill.

Her lineal aunt was sick, and Wei Changying, who was her niece, couldn’t neglect, so she hurriedly went to pledge Madam Su to visit her aunt. Madam Su nodded and said, "Even if you don’t come, I’m about to send someone to tell you. She was your aunt. Your aunt has always been in good health. It's not good that she is ill at this time, and you are familiar with the Eighth Miss of Duanmu Family. If everything else fails, you don’t have to come back to report to me. Go to the Duanmu Family first and invite the Eighth Miss for treatment. If it is too late, you can stay in the Su Mansion for one night. Yulee will arrange you properly."

Wei Changying hurriedly thanked her mother-in-law, went back to Jintong Courtyard to call Mrs. Huang, and hurried to the Su Mansion. She first went to see Old Madam Deng. Old Madam Deng was frowning, and she couldn’t help sighing when she saw Wei Changying, "Why Yin'er is sick at this juncture? Yesterday, when the Imperial Doctor Ji came over, he also couldn’t tell the reason for her illness. This is really... alas!"

Hearing that the Imperial Doctor Ji couldn’t diagnose anything, Wei Changying’s scalp was numb. She wondered that if she was going to deal with the apprentice and master Ji Qubing again.

She was also worried about Wei Zhengyin. No matter how useless Ji Congyuan was, he was still an imperial doctor. The ordinary headache and brain fever should be easily cured by him. The sickness that he couldn’t tell must be tricky for ordinary doctors. Especially Madam Su said that Wei Zhengyin had always been in good health. Suddenly, Wei Zhengyin got sick. She just hoped that there was no big deal for Wei Zhengyin!

Wei Changying answered Old Madam Deng perfunctorily. Then the maidservants sent by Old Madam Deng led her to the house of the third branch of the Su Family. As expected, she smelled the strong smell of medicine in the yard before she even entered. The smell was so strong that it almost reached the point of choking people.

Wei Changying became very worried, and after a pause, she dared to step forward. After entering, she saw that every servant looked insecure and solemn. She only felt a chill from the bottom of her heart. Seeing Su Yuli greeted her with red eyes, she hurriedly went up and asked, "How's my Aunt?"

"Mother is okay." Su Yuli had obviously cried. There were still a few drops of tears on her cheeks that had not been wiped away. She said dumbly, "Cousin, why do you come here in person? Isn't that the second cousin-in-law is not well these days so that you are helping the first cousin-in-law to manage things?"

"My aunt is sick, how can I not come?" Wei Changying held her hand and asked intently, "Where is my aunt? Can I go in and see?"

Su Yuli stopped talking about what she wanted to say, and said, "She's inside. She just drank the medicine... You can come in." After looking at the people behind her, she said again, "Mother is very afraid of noise now. Just you, come in with me."

"Wait a minute!" Wei Changying hurriedly said, "I brought Mrs. Huang here. Let's ask Mrs. Huang to take the aunt’s pulse. How did Ji Congyuan fail to treat grandmother and aunt? I really don't know where his reputation for being a famous doctor comes from. Don’t take the medicine he prescribed."

Su Yuli glanced at Mrs. Huang but said, "It’s not too hurry for such a short time. You come in first. Mother’s mood is bad and doesn’t want to see other people."

Wei Changying couldn’t help but be stunned. Su Yuli, the eldest and only daughter of Wei Zhengyin, was about to get married. But Wei Zhengyin fell ill at this moment. Shouldn't she be anxious and want to be cured? Ji Congyuan could not cure her before. When she was told that her niece had brought Mrs. Huang, who had been studying with Ji Qubing, both Su Yuli and Wei Zhengyin should hurriedly let Mrs. Huang come in.

With Su Yuli’s facial expression, why did they seem not to want Mrs. Huang to go in and check on Wei Zhengyin?

With such doubts, Wei Changying entered the inner room. She saw the curtain hanging down inside and Purple Incense was burning with a pure and distant fragrance. The medicinal smell was not strong, and it almost became thin under the fragrance of the Purple Incense.

In the inner room, only Wei Zhengyin’s wet nurse, Mrs. Shi, was serving her next to the bed. A golden basin was placed on the begonia-style small incense table, and two new veils were placed around the basin.

On the bed, Wei Zhengyin was lying on her side. Her face faced the inner side of the tent, and her long black hair scattered on the pillow. Her shoulders were undulating. Obviously, she was awake.

Su Yuli brought Wei Changying in. Mrs. Shi hurriedly came over to greet Wei Changying and whispered, "Greet to First Miss and Miss!"

When Wei Zhengyin heard this, she turned over quickly. With a closer look, her face was flushed a bit, and there was a twisted wet kerchief on her forehead. She indeed looked sick. But Wei Zhengyin then took off the kerchief by herself and sat up agilely. She said loudly, "Changying, how do you have the spare time to come here?"

She then suddenly said, "Your mother-in-law sent you here?"

"Aunt?" Wei Changying was a little startled to see her take off the veil and get up agilely. At this moment, seeing Wei Zhengyin didn't seem to be sick, she couldn’t help but ask, "Aunt, what is going on?"

Su Yuli’s wedding date was just around the corner, yet why did Wei Zhengyin pretend to be sick?

Hearing this question, Wei Zhengyin’s face quickly became gloomy!
