Wei Changjuan was successively lectured by Wei Changying and Princess Anji, and then she was instructed by the first sister, Wei Changwan. Therefore, she was very quiet at this banquet. She didn't look for trouble, and Wei Changying had no time to get her into trouble. She first asked some people to find the place where Song Xiyue and Song Ruxuan were, and she found that they were having a heated discussion with Deng Wanwan. There were also several girls who seemed to be at similar ages to them sitting beside them, such as Huo Qingling.

Wei Changying stood by for a moment and saw that Song Xiyue and Song Ruxuan were obviously introduced by Deng Wanwan. They had quickly become familiar with the young ladies of the capital. Thus, it was not necessary for her to take them along. If she went up now, she would interrupt their conversation.

She thought about it and went to find Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu saw her, nodded slightly, and said, "I thought you were about to come over, too. Please sit down. I asked them to save a seat for you."

Accordingly, Wei Changying sat on the empty seat on the right. Mrs. Liu sent the one who was talking to her previously away and asked Wei Changying in a low voice, "What happened?"

"The Queen Run asked me to give medicine to Princess Qingxin, and then Her Royal Highness said she would not argue with me anymore." Wei Changying smiled and said, "Then I met the two cousins from my eldest aunt’s family in the living room. I just went to see where they were sitting."

She didn't want to say too much at the table, so she omitted a large part of the truth. But the news spread unexpectedly fast, and Mrs. Liu immediately asked, "Didn't you invite Wei Changjuan out, and then Wei Changjuan came back alone and left you with Princess Anji? Her Royal Highness..."

When Wei Changying was stunned, she noticed that Mrs. Liu looked at her with burning eyes. She kept looking at her skirt, sideburns, and hairpin rings. Mrs. Liu seemed to try to find out the traces that she had been beaten up by Princess Anji. Wei Changying smiled and said, "There was such a thing, but we didn't talk much. I was thinking about the banquet, so I came back."

Mrs. Liu recognized that her answer was to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial, so she smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else. It's just that Princess Anji beat Princess Qingxin for you today. This... I'm afraid we have to think carefully about this when we get back."

Wei Changying was surprised and said, "The first sister-in-law, where did you hear the rumor?"

"Isn't that right?" Mrs. Liu was stunned.

Wei Changying thought that the rumor spread really quickly. And she said, "I have only seen Princess Anji three times, including this time. And I have not said a word except greetings in the first two times. The first sister-in-law, how could Princess Anji beat Princess Qingxin for me in this case?"

After hearing this rumor, Mrs. Liu did not believe it as well. If this was Mrs. Duanmu, Mrs. Liu would still feel that her younger siblings had deliberately concealed it from her. But it was true that We Changying was married from Fengzhou in early April this year. Princess Anji was a little younger than Wei Changying. She was also the fierce princess who grew up with the witness of the women in the capital. How could such two people, who had only met two or three times, collude together without having spoken to each other alone?

So she also nodded and said, "This was what I thought as well. But everyone at the table was talking about it secretly. I'm not talking about anything else. Princess Qingxin is very favored by the Empress. I am afraid that you will be dragged into the unknown conflicts."

Wei Changying explained to her, "At that time, Princess Qingxin mentioned Madam Zhenyi, and she was... Princess Anji was so angry that the two princesses quarreled with a few words. Princess Anji wanted to drag Princess Qingxin to go back to the palace to reason about this. But she unwittingly exerted too much force so that Princess Qingxin fell down. After the Queen Run arrived, she asked me to follow her to apply medicine to Princess Qingxin, and then Her Royal Highness also told me that she would not care about this matter."

Mrs. Liu gave a sigh and said, "Madam Zhenyi? I see. No wonder! Princess Anji has always been very filial in serving Madam Zhenyi, and everyone knows that there must be no disrespect to Madam Zhenyi in front of her." She also said, "Princess Qingxin is young and her mind is actually very simple. This time she suddenly targeted you, and I think there must be some other reasons."

Wei Changying smiled and said, "The first sister-in-law, you are saving face for me so you don't want to say it out. But who doesn't know about this? Speaking of which, since I arrived in the capital, I haven't visited my second aunt except for the day I went back. No wonder the two cousins from my second aunt's family hold against me."

"What you said is very true. You are all close relatives so that you should keep in touch with each other frequently in order to avoid instigation by outsiders." Mrs. Liu nodded and said.

Wei Changying then said, "What the first sister-in-law said is right. Thank you for your advice."

There were no more words between them. When it was time to leave from the banquet, the Queen Run had planned to make Wei Changying stay in order to say thank you to her in private. But after Princess Qingxin and Princess Anji had that fight and Princess Qingxin was injured, the people in the King Run's mansion forced their smiles when sending Infanta Chengxian out. Now they were too busy worrying about how to explain it to the capital. The Queen Run did not have the thought to draw over Wei Changying. She held her hand politely and euphemistically explained to Wei Changying about the matter that she invited Wei Changying here but she made her bump into trouble because of Princess Qingxin.

The Queen Run was very careful. Even though Princess Qingxin was so forgetful, she had already been coaxed into a good mood to talk and laugh. But her knee injury could not be hidden. According to the Empress's affection for this little daughter, she would sure to inquiry the King Run's mansion. But Wei Changying… She was going to follow her mother-in-law, Madam Su, to the Gu Family for a wedding reception so that she would not meet Princess Qingxin. And there would be no such trouble today.

So if the Queen Run only complained that King Run's mansion was implicated because she invited the Wei Changying, Wei Changying might also suspect that the King Run's mansion and Princess Qingxin colluded with Wei Changjuan to make trouble for her.

Having offended the Empress, the Queen Run did not want to offend the lineal granddaughter of the Family Head of her mother's family anymore. Therefore, she did not let her go until she had made it clear to her.

Certainly, Wei Changying would not blame the Queen Run. Speaking of it, the Queen Run was really unlucky today. Because she had to hold the wedding for her daughter, she had to invite Wei Changying and she also had to invite other relatives of the Wei Family. For example, she invited Wei Shengxian and her daughter and Wei Shengyi's families. As a result, Wei Changjuan was also at the wedding. She just created trouble at the Su Family, yet she still could not be quiet even when she came to the royal mansion.

When leaving, by looking at the grudging smile of Queen Dowager Run, Wei Changying knew that the Queen Run would definitely be rebuked by her mother-in-law after the guests left.

Sighing while going out of the door, Wei Changying ordered Shen Ju, "Go to the market and buy a post. Deliver it to my second uncle's mansion."

Shen Ju knew that this second uncle referred to Wei Shengyi. He dined with the rickshaw manservant and they were separated from the guests. Thus, he didn't know what happened at the banquet. But he didn't ask any more questions and went to the market directly.

Back at Grand Preceptor's mansion, Madam Su and her companions had already arrived home. They were drinking tea to dispel the effects of wine in the hall, talking, laughing, and waiting for their first daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law. Obviously, their trip to the Gu Family was very smooth.

Seeing Mrs. Liu and Wei Changying came in with annoyance on their faces, Madam Su was stunned. She put down her tea bowl and asked, "Was the wedding banquet at King Run's mansion not good today? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Wei Changying looked at Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu said with a wry smile, "To answer mother's question, the wedding banquet in King Run's mansion was of course good. The Queen Run specially invited us to her mansion, and she treated us with great hospitality. The royal heir's wives took care of us and the Queen Run herself apologized to us when we left."

Madam Su knew something was wrong when she heard this and said with surprise, "Why would the Queen apologize to you two younger generations? What happened?"

"This..." Mrs. Liu looked at Wei Changying and seemed to be very difficult to put into words.

Wei Changying was about to shed tears and said, "Mother, my first sister-in-law is saving face for me! But I almost had no face to come back today!"

Madam Su was surprised and said, "Why did you say that?" Then she asked her to tell everything in detail.

Wei Changying roughly told the story. Hearing that Wei Changjuan looked for trouble again, Madam Su was so angry that she patted the case and said angrily, "What does Mrs. Duanmu mean? Is the daughter-in-law of the Shen Family easy to be bullied?"

She then scolded Wei Changying, "You are the elder sister, and you already got married. How can you not even be able to hold down a younger cousin and let her come out again and again to embarrass herself! Do you know that she disgraced not only you but also your Wei Family?"

Wei Changying choked and said, "I understand this. I've already taught her a lesson in the royal mansion today. I thought that it was in another's mansion so that it would not be good to create a big matter. When I came back, I had already made Shen Ju post to my uncle's mansion. The day after tomorrow happened to the day off. I will definitely go to their mansion and tell the second uncle and aunt about this!"

Madam Su snorted coldly, "This is your family matter, so I won't say anything. It's just that you are now the daughter-in-law of the Shen Family, and Wei Changjuan conflicted with you several times. She loses the face of the women of the Wei Family, so our Shen Family will also lose face! My family has never suffered such a loss for nothing. Do you understand?"

"Mother, you can rest assured. Before I left my family, the elders of the family also have instructed me not to insult the name of the ancestors." Wei Changying guaranteed again and again and asked awkwardly whether she needed to go to the palace to make an apology this time.

Speaking of which, Wei Changying felt that what she had said before that she had no face to come back was the truth. She had only got married for a few months, and she had already gone to the palace for apologies twice. Now she might have to apologize for the third time. And she could not go alone. Either Madam Su or Wei Zhengyin would always have to accompany her.

As a new wife who tossed the elders in this way, Wei Changying couldn't help but feel guilty.

Madam Su was reminded, and she also showed a look of distress. She thought for a long time then sighed, "Tomorrow will be the wedding of Yulee... Let's send someone to deliver the post later. You can write the post longer so that you can say that you thought carefully about how to write the post. So the post is delayed. In this way, the palace door is closed, and the post cannot be sent in until tomorrow. After the approval from the palace arrives, you will not enter the palace until the day after tomorrow..."

She then said, "If you can't enter the palace the day after tomorrow, you can go to your second uncle's mansion first and ask your second uncle and aunt about what your seventh cousin has done. If your second uncle and aunt think you are the younger generation and disdain to talk to you, you come back to tell me. I will go over and talk to them! If they don't want to live a good life, they also don't want our Shen Family to have a peaceful life? If you have to go to the palace to make amends the day after tomorrow, then you can wait for another day before you go to your second uncle's mansion."

Wei Changying quietly agreed.

When she went back to Jintong Courtyard, she summoned Mrs. Huang. Before she told the story, she first instructed, "Count the healthy servants in my dowry and select several women who are strong and tight-mouthed. They will follow me to my second uncle's mansion the day after tomorrow!"

Mrs. Huang was shocked and said, "Young madam, what happened?"

Wei Changying had a cold facial expression. She raised her chin, and Qin'ge said, "Granny, you don't know. The last time when the First Miss of the Su Family got married, didn't the seventh miss in the family cause trouble with the young madam? At that time, because of the wedding, everyone let go of her easily. As a result, when the Infanta got married this time, she unexpectedly encouraged Princess Qingxin to find young madam's trouble. She wanted to punish the young madam to kneel in the King Run's mansion for three days and three nights! If Princess Anji didn’t speak for the young madam, Granny, what should the young madam do?"

Mrs. Huang was very young, and she was ordered by Old Madam Song to stay in the capital. She was told to guard the family mansion. But in fact, she was suppressing Mrs. Duanmu. Although Old Madam Song had been in Fengzhou for more than a decade, she had done this job very well. So Mrs. Huang was very proud. For this reason, Mrs. Huang did not say anything to the second branch but she inevitably looked down upon them a little.

However, the branch that she looked down upon made trouble over and over again for Wei Changying, whom she now served attentively. Mrs. Huang's self-conscious dignity was so provoked that she almost fainted. And now she ignored her usual gentle and leisurely image. Her face flushed and scolded in front of Wei Changying, "The little b*tch raised by Mrs. Duanmu! How dare she bully our young madam like this?"

She immediately said, "Young madam thinks highly of the second branch. Why make a big fight to deal with the second branch? Just with a few women in our yard and Sister He who will come back later, we can go to their mansion together the day after tomorrow."

Wei Changying knew that Mrs. Huang had been fighting for power and profit with the second branch for more than ten years, and she knew the details of the second branch like the palm of her hand. She nodded, "Let's do it this way."
