Wei Zhengyin threw the handkerchief into the golden basin not far away. Because of her hatred, she made a splash of water that wet Mrs. Shi's and her own skirt.

Mrs. Shi hurriedly opened the suitcase to look for clothes to change for her. Wei Zhengyin said impatiently, "It's summer anyway. A little water trace like this will be dry in a short time." She told her not to be busy and made tea for her niece first.

Wei Changying had no intention of caring about drinking tea and said hurriedly, "Aunt, don't keep Ganny Shi busy. What's the matter with you?"

"It's because of Mrs. Qian that b*tch!" Wei Zhengyin was obviously very angry. She neglected the presence of her daughter and niece and scolded her sister-in-law directly. "In order not to delay her daughter's wedding date, she defamed Yuli so much! She really thought that if she went to talk with the Gu Family under my name so that there will be nothing I can do about it? Gu Naizheng isn't rush to the border!"

She said to her niece, "You are just in time. I heard that you have a good relationship with the Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family. Can you get some medicine similar to Chenkesan for me? If I am not ill for a month or two, I will just..."

"Mother!" Su Yuli could not bear it anymore and said euphemistically, "Now the wedding date has changed, you will..."

"Don't worry." Wei Zhengyin said with a cold smile, "The wedding date has changed. But if I am seriously ill and you want to leave the cabinet later to take care of me at my house, who can say no? Mrs. Qian, that b*tch, if she is indeed capable, why didn't she make Yulee marry before you? She couldn't wait to marry off her daughter, but how dare she use my daughter as a stepping stone!"

Wei Changying understood when she heard this. Before, Madam Su, her mother-in-law, said that Gu Yiran and Qian Lian who were also sent to the border this time all interceded with His Majesty by their elders because they were both going to get married this year. Thus, they could leave after they got married. Gu Yiran was fine because he would be married in only two months. Yet Qian Lian's original wedding date was at the end of the year, His Majesty certainly would not allow him to delay until that time. So it would be necessary for him to change the wedding date.

But Qian Lian's fiancee Su Yulee was the second Miss of the Su Family. Su Yuli, the First Miss, had not got married yet. So it would be inappropriate for the second Miss to get married according to the rules at this time. So, if Qian Lian wanted to marry his fiancee as soon as possible and went to the border, Su Yuli must get married first. On the way back from seeing Shen Cangfeng off, Madam Su said lightly that the wedding date had changed, and Wei Changying thought that it must be the result of the discussion between several families. But now according to the words of Wei Zhengyin, it was Mrs. Qian who was afraid of delaying her daughter's marriage so that she went to the Gu Family under the name of Wei Zhengyin to discuss marrying Su Yuli in advance!

As the bride's side, she took the initiative to beg the bridegroom's side to marry the bride as soon as possible. Where could Su Yuli put her face after she married into that family?

No wonder Wei Zhengyin was so mad!

Wei Changying also felt unhappy when she heard this, and she said, "How can the first aunt do this? She only thought about the second cousin but not the eldest cousin?"

Wei Zhengyin said with a cold smile, "Someone came to visit from the Gu family. When I knew about it, I went to question her. She seemed to have a lot of reasons and said that she knew I was a virtuous person, so I certainly couldn't bear to delay the wedding day of Yulee. She also said that thinking that I was Yuli's mother, it would be not appropriate to send people to the Gu Family to ask them to marry in advance. That's why she spoke for me. Didn't she mean that I have to thank her for hurting my daughter? This shameless old woman! In her previous life, she didn't clear her karma so that her own son died, and she almost killed her lineal daughter-in-law! Now she is reckoning on my daughter? I won't let her marry her daughter off on her intended date unless I..."

Su Yuli hurriedly interrupted her swearing and persuaded, "Mother, I know that you are aggrieved for me. But now that things are like this, it will not be possible for you to send someone to the Gu family and postpone the day. What's more, not only our family has known the truth of this thing, it's also possible that the Gu Family was unaware of it! The eldest aunt has always been such a person. When the second cousin died and the second sister-in-law was almost forced to kill herself by rushing to the coffin, all the people in the capital knew her temperament. How could the Gu Family actually think that it was Mother who asked her to visit them?"

Wei Zhengyin said angrily, "Don't speak for the eldest branch! I know you have a good relationship with Yulee, and you are afraid that she will be caught in the middle! I also know that Yulee is not like Mrs. Qian! But how can I let her reckon on my daughter when I know about it? Mrs. Qian dares to hurt my daughter, and I will also not let her daughter be well! As for such a lifetime thing, if it hadn't been for your grandparents, I would have fought her directly in the eldest branch last time!"

"Aunt, please calm down." When Wei Changying saw that Wei Zhengyin's face was flushed and her veins were about to burst on her forehead, she knew that Wei Zhengyin was so angry that she could not let it go easily. She hurriedly said, "What the eldest aunt has done is really immoral. But now that she has done it, so why don't we discuss how to make things better for cousin?"

Wei Zhengyin said in hatred, "If I could make it better for her, how could I still be so angry?" Because there were no outsiders in the inner room, she complained, "Mrs. Qian directly said that because I didn't want to delay Yulee's wedding date, I wanted the Gu Family to marry Yuli in advance. If at this time I go and say that I have not said such a thing... First, the Gu family is now beginning to prepare. If I repeatedly toss them, Yuli will be blamed after getting married. Secondly, Yuli's grandparents would also blame me for deliberately embarrassing Yuli. Mrs. Qian is such a b*tch. No wonder her son Yuxian died of illness. For such a sinful mother, no matter what a rich and expensive life Yuxian had, he still couldn't bear the retribution!"

Su Yuli smiled bitterly and said, "But, have you ever thought about it, Mother? Grandma may not know that you are pretending to be sick now, but Grandpa... Even if Grandfather is too busy with the imperial court to notice your matter, will the eldest aunt not talk to him about it? By then, Grandfather certainly won't like it either."

She then lowered the voice, "If we encumber the fifth brother..."

Wei Zhengyin was astonished. But after thinking about it, she still shook her head and said, "This time it was Mrs. Qian who did the wrong thing first. It was not stirred up by the third branch! We didn't mess with the eldest branch, but they are deceiving you to death. Yet I'm not allowed to revenge them? Your grandfather is not so biased!"

She then said, "What's more, as for this quest to the border for the meritorious service, Yuwu was among them but not Yuliang. The eldest branch had already lost to us, yet she still reckoned you like this. It is reasonable that I revenge them back!"

Su Yuli whispered, "Maybe the reason why the eldest aunt did this matter this time was that the fourth younger brother was not able to win the quota last year, so she was angry. How could she hide this from my grandfather? Mother, if you were Grandfather, you would understand the revenge. But if you are magnanimous and not angry with your second sister because of your eldest aunt, will Grandfather..."

"Just make the decision right away?"

This remark also made Wei Changying thrill and could not help but take a fresh look at Su Yuli. When it came to Mrs. Qian's action to falsely claim that she was entrusted by Wei Zhengyin to go to the Gu Family to ask them to come and marry Su Yuli in advance, the most disgraced one was Su Yuli!

As Wei Zhengyin was worrying, if the bride's side urged the bridegroom's side to marry her daughter, how could her husband's family think highly of Su Yuli in the future? Wei Changying had already got married, and she knew very well how much more difficult it was to be a wife than to be a daughter. When you were the Miss at home, your parents and elders protected and spoiled you, and your sisters-in-law did not dare to offend you. Even if you made a mistake, they would speak for you with one voice.

But being a wife would be different. There was the rivalry between the sisters-in-law, the temperament of the uncles, the open and secret struggle between the concubines, and the views of the elders... It could be said that as long as there was a little bit wrong, it might cause a storm.

Thus, Wei Zhengyin could not bear this when she thought of her daughter!

According to reason, even if Su Yuli, who was disgraced the most, was not as angry as Wei Zhengyin who scolded Mrs. Qian, she should still hate this eldest aunt. Unexpectedly, Su Yuli was so magnanimous that she tried to persuade Wei Zhengyin.

Not only did she try to persuade herself, but Su Yuli also turned to Wei Changying and said, "Cousin, come and talk to my mother for me. Isn't it the situation now? The fifth younger brother has already outperformed the fourth younger brother, and now I am a little aggrieved, which makes our branch look more magnanimous and tolerant of the eldest aunt. This would reassure my grandfather. The eldest uncle early determined the status of cousin Shen San in the clan, just to give him more cultivation. For example, as for this matter of the imperial guard, it was also the eldest uncle who took the lead in persuading His Majesty. The fifth brother has been several years behind cousin Shen San, and now we have a ready-made opportunity to help our grandfather make up his mind. Why do we have to procrastinate?"

After a long silence, Wei Changying said, "Second Aunt, you have such an intelligent and magnanimous daughter, so what else do you have to worry about for her? If you say it's disgraced for her to get married like this, who would be as humiliated as I was last year? My aunt sent white silk to me and told me not to insult the Wei Family's reputation. But don't you think I am still doing well? What's more, here, Aunt Qian had a precedent of almost killing her daughter-in-law. As long as there is a person in the Gu Family who is awake, they will not be deceived by her. Not to mention my cousin's matter would be nothing if compared to mine at that time."

After Mrs. Shi saw that Wei zhengyin and Wei Changying were in favor of letting Mrs. Qian and Su Yulee go, she said slowly, "Madam, what Miss said is reasonable. Everyone can see that this is the fault of the eldest madam. Our young lady has been set up by her aunt. It is reasonable for Madam to refuse to give up now. But if you are willing to endure it, I think that the Family Head and the Old madam will not let our third branch to suffer this grievance in vain."

Wei Zhengyin kept a cold face for a long time before she said, "So, you all agree to let it go?"

Hearing that there was still a little reluctance in her tone, Su Yuli hurriedly knelt down in front of her knee and said, "I know Mother is doing it for me. But, Mother, please think of this. No matter how good I am with my needlework, after all, the future of a girl depends on her father and brothers. When the father and brother are good, the girl can be good; if the father and brother are delayed, how can the daughter be any better? Besides, the capital Gu Family is just an aristocratic family, and I am the lineal daughter of gentlefolk. After marrying into the Gu Family, there is the Su Family in Qingzhou so that who dares to snub me in the Gu Family? If the fifth younger brother has a good future, my mother-in-law will certainly be polite when she sees me, not to mention the sisters-in-law. So as long as we take good care of the fifth younger brother, is Mother still afraid that I will be wronged?"

Wei Changying sighed and said, "I always thought my cousin was just a quiet and victorious girl. Today, I know that my cousin is so visionary that she is excellent as the male."

What Su Yuli said was not a very esoteric truth, which would not be surprising if it were said by others. But now this remark from her as a victim showed her magnanimity and character. It was a big deal in her life. Which daughter had not been prudent in dealing with this matter?

For a normal young lady, she would have been crying on the couch in her room, secretly scolding her eldest aunt, blaming her cousin, and waiting for her elders to judge the justice for her. Wei Zhengyin, as her mother, although she was pretending to be ill, according to Wei Changying, her aunt would be actually ill if she could not let go of this anger.

But instead of crying in the room to show her grievance, Su Yuli tried to persuade her mother to put the overall situation first and was willing to put up with it.

Before, Wei Changying had been worried that this cousin, who looked quiet and virtuous, was going to marry Gu Naizheng, a strange person in the children of the aristocratic family. Now she knew that Su Yuli could not be compared with ordinary young ladies. With this kind of demeanor and general knowledge, Wei Changying believed that this cousin would definitely not live a bad life after getting married.

Listening to her niece's sigh and looking at her daughter who knelt in front of her and caressed her knees, Wei Zhengyin frowned tightly and hesitated.

At this moment, the door was knocked.

The four people in the inner room were startled at the same time. Su Yuli hurriedly got up. Wei Zhengyin quickly returned to the couch and turned inward while Wei Changying hurriedly grabbed the edge of the basin and wrung the handkerchief. Mrs. Shi hurriedly picked it up and applied it to Wei Zhengyin's forehead. Although they were all persuading Wei Zhengyin, they could not let the outside know that Wei Zhengyin was pretending to be ill. Otherwise, if Mrs. Qian knew about this, according to the temperament of this woman, they would not know what kind of things she would do!

After getting it done in a hurry, Su Yuli settled her mind and asked in a loud voice, "Who is it? What's the matter?"
