Seeing that this really annoyed Old Madam Deng, Madam Su dared not to snub and hurriedly stayed to have a long talk with her mother to explain, lest Shen Cangning was kept in the Su Family's mansion by Old Madam Deng. Shen Xuan had always been favoring this daughter. How could he not ask? The words of her coaxing her mother could not be heard by others, so she sent her daughters-in-law back to their seats.

Wei Changying walked outside while holding her forehead, and even Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu couldn't bear it. They sighed and said, "The third sister-in-law, why don't you go to the next room and have a rest?" There were three weddings in two months, and there was some kind of trouble during all weddings. Each trouble had something to do with Wei Changying. Although they all knew that Wei Changying was treated unjustly, people could not stand the sign that if there would be more weddings in the future, no one would dare to invite her.

"Thanks to the two sisters-in-law, but I am alright now." Wei Changying put down her hand and said with a forced smile. She was now sincerely praying that Empress Gu would not have time to ask her into the palace to make the pleading. She felt that she needed to go to the second uncle's house to vent out her anger!

With such a mood, Wei Changying went back home after the banquet ended. Perhaps there was indeed a spirit of God. The news didn't come out in the palace until the evening, saying that Empress Gu thought that Princess Qingxin's fall had nothing to do with Wei Changying. Therefore, Empress Gu said there was no need for Wei Changying to apologize for this trivial matter. It was a euphemistic rejection of the request to enter the palace.

Madam Su breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the reply and joked, "It's still hot today. We're tired of the wedding banquet, and the Empress seems also tired and doesn't want to toss with this matter."

Wei Changying said thankfully, "The Empress is considerate. This time there is no need for Mother to accompany me. Thank god I am not even more unfilial."

"Good people are easy to be bullied!" Madam Su narrowed her eyes and said faintly, "Old Madam Song has been away from the capital for too long. When young girls' parents love them too much, they will be spoiled and become arrogant. In the end, there must be an Old Madam in the family so that they can be more disciplined. For example, Cangning is spoiled by your father so I can't help but keep a close eye on her. Your maternal grandmother said I don't love Cangning. How is that possible? It's just that your father has already indulged her like that, and she had no sense. If I don't discipline her, in the future..."

Wei Changying dared not to comment on the way her mother-in-law taught her sister-in-law. So she could only smile and say, "The fourth sister is Mother's own daughter. How can Mother not think of the fourth sister? Mother does everything for the good of the fourth sister."

Madam Su sighed, "Isn't that right?" After all, she had been in charge of the family for several decades, and her eldest lineal granddaughter was about to get married. Certainly, Madam Su misbehaved a little because she was scolded by her mother in front of her daughters-in-law that she did not care about her own daughter. So she could not help complaining her grievances to Wei Changying. But after talking about it just now, she restrained her feelings and said, "Since you are going to your uncle's home tomorrow, you should arrange everything that should be arranged today."

Wei Changying knew that Madam Su wanted her to leave now. She stood up and said, "Yes."

When she returned to Jintong Courtyard, she asked someone to call managers to see her and told them that she would go out tomorrow. And she asked them to hand in things that they could decide today.

With this matter, she was busy until very late. Wei Changying also went to the banquet during the day, so she felt very tired. She asked Zhu Shi to come in and rub her shoulders. And she discussed with Mrs. Huang and Mrs. He at the same time about what to do when she went to see Wei Shengyi tomorrow.

As expected, Mrs. He said that she should fight with her. Wei Changying was too tired to reply to her, so she asked Mrs. Huang directly. And Mrs. Huang said, "I'm afraid the second madam has hidden these things from the second master, lest Wei Changjuan is severely beaten. Young madam handed over the post before. Maybe tomorrow the second madam will also try to send the second master out to avoid him meeting the young madam. And then the second madam will talk with young madam and make short shrift of this matter alone."

Her implication was that Wei Changying should not be too polite tomorrow because the second madam had no sincerity to apologize for courtesy at all.

Wei Changying sneered and said, "The capital is not a big place. Where can the second uncle go to avoid meeting me?" Then she said, "It was more than half a month ago when the elder cousin Su got married. How come the second uncle hasn't heard the news yet? Don't they all say that the second uncle is very shrewd?"

Mrs. Huang sneered and said, "After hiding the news for a few days, the time has passed so that the Second Master would not get too angry."

"So the second uncle just let them be?" Wei Changying was stunned.

Mrs. Huang said, "Before, those were all small matters, such as Wei Changjuan causing some small trouble at home."

Wei Changying thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow... Let's see what the second uncle will say. After all, he is an elder."

Mrs. Huang seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she still said, "Yes."

At this time, Wei Changying was very tired so she asked Zhu Shi to stop and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Wei Changying greeted in the main room and then took Mrs. Huang and Mrs. He as well as a group of servants to the Wei Family's mansion.

The second branch obviously knew why she came, and the people who came out to welcome her were Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoye. Min Yao was the wife of Wei Changyun and the daughter of the Min Family in Quyin. Zhou Xiaoye was the wife of Wei Changsui and the daughter of the Zhou Family in Xilin.

It was solemn for the two sisters-in-law to greet the younger sister-in-law in the other branch. And both of them were very polite. After passing only two doors, they already started to apologize, "Mother is not feeling very well these days, and she could not attend the several weddings. The eldest sister came back and told us the whole event yesterday so that we knew the seventh sister had made a fool of herself and offended the third sister. Mother has already made people beat the seventh sister severely and is about to ask us to make amends to the third sister!"

Wei Changying was very unhappy when she heard this and thought that Mrs. Huang actually predicted this. The second aunt was clearly perfunctory. Wei Changjuan didn't make trouble with her yesterday or the day before yesterday, and the second branch didn't make anyone explain to her about the matter that happened during the wedding of Su Yuli. Now they saw that Wei Changying came to the door to inquiry about this, the second aunt pretended to be ill and said that she had beaten her daughter. Did she try to be perfunctory as if Wei Changying had been a fool?

Her facial expression was not delightful, and her eyesight moved to Mrs. He. Mrs. He understood what she meant, and then she answered with sarcasm, "Young madams, please don’t say that. How dare our young madam accept the indemnity from the seventh Miss? Of the three weddings in the past two months, there was no one that had no conflicts! Every time, it was because of the seventh Miss! It's ok that the seventh Miss likes to make something bad, but every time she aimed at our young madam! It's even hard for our young madam to go out now! How dare we ask the seventh Miss to go to our mansion? If she goes to our mansion, how can our young madam live a good life in the future?"

Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoye found that they refused to give up, and their facial expression changed. Without waiting for them to come up with words to reply, Mrs. He said, "Yesterday, our madam had said whether the second madam disliked our young madam. Our young madam was too busy after getting married and had no time to come back to greet her. So the second madam wanted the seventh Miss to do these things to remind our young madam?"

Certainly, they could not agree to these words. Min Yao hurriedly said, "There are no such things. Granny, please don't get us wrong!" When she said this, she felt that she was Wei Changying's sister-in-law yet Wei Changying hadn't spoken yet. Now if she kept explaining to her sister-in-law’s Granny, she would degrade herself. So she hurriedly said to Wei Changying, "The third sister, this is a big misunderstanding! Mother often said that the third sister grew up in Fengzhou and married far away to the capital so that we must be more compassionate and can’t cause trouble to the third sister. How could we connive with the seventh sister to disrespect the third sister?"

Zhou Xiaoye also said, "This was because the seventh sister was not sensible and the villains who had a vicious mind instigated her."

Wei Changying said faintly, "I'm also very confused. I thought about it over and over again. Even if I offended my second uncle and aunt, this feud was not so big that my seventh sister needed to chase me everywhere and ignored the weddings of others to make me awkward. She even complained to Her Royal Highness for this. So the two sisters-in-law had better not talk about it. When I meet the second uncle and aunt, I will apologize for my delay in greeting them first and then ask them the truth in person. If this can’t be explained clearly, I will be more confused."

Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoye looked at each other and said awkwardly, "Since the third sister said so, we will not talk anymore." They then whispered, "It's just that Father went out to visit friends today, so he's not at home."

Wei Changying sneered and said to Mrs. Huang in front of them, "Granny was right. Even if we wait for the day off to come, the second aunt can always keep us from seeing our second uncle."

Mrs. Huang smiled faintly and said, "In fact, it's not all the fault of the second madam, maybe the second master is also..."

"The third sister, don't get my Father wrong. Father really has an appointment ahead." Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoye were extremely embarrassed, and they said in a low voice. It was not that the two sisters-in-law themselves were cowardly, but that they were not born in gentlefolks families. Although they were the lineal daughters in their families, they were not beloved daughters like Wei Changying and Wei Changjuan. Instead, they were a little unknown to the public since childhood.

After all, the marriages of Wei Changyun and Wei Changsui were arranged by Old Madam Song. Wei Changyun and Wei Changsui were not blood-related to Old Madam Song. But Old Madam Song's earnest efforts when choosing wives for these two grandchildren were exactly the same as when she chose a wife for her lineal grandchildren, Wei Changyun.

However, she tried her best to choose the best one for Wei Changfeng. As for Wei Changyun and Wei Changsui, it was totally the other way around. According to the origin of these two grandchildren, Old Madam Song made them marry the women as below as they could. Besides, the temperament of Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoye was also confirmed again and again by Mrs. Huang, who was ordered by Old Madam Song. Both of them were silent and dull and had nothing to do with smartness and intelligence.

After they married into the family, they could manage the housework, respect their parents-in-law, and tolerate concubines. Thus, Wei Changyun, Wei Changsui, and Wei Huan could not say that the wives of the grandchildren who were chosen by Old Madam Song were bad. It was just that these two wives of the grandchildren not only couldn't help Wei Changyun and Wei Changfeng with their family origin, but they were also very mediocre in their social skills with the public. As for giving any advice, they couldn’t make it at all.

Now they were sent out by their mother-in-law to welcome the ill-intentioned Wei Changying. Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoye were not smart. But as normal daughters from an eminent family, they were not stupid. This third cousin was the only lineal granddaughter, who was like the apple of the eye of Old Madam Song. And her husband was the son of the Shen Family in Western Liang, who was put on high hopes by his family. Listening to the words said by her Granny, she even had the support of her mother-in-law, Madam Su, who was the lineal daughter of the Su Family in Qingzhou.

For such a person whom their parents-in-law didn't even dare to offend, Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoye had no grudges against the third cousin in the past or recently. Why did they have to stay here and face her at the frontline? They tried to defend themselves in a low voice and then simply stop speaking, so they wouldn’t be embarrassed when Wei Changying replied to them.

So they only walked silently after this conversation, and only the sound of their rings and decorations could be heard. When they entered the back hall, Wei Changying already put on a cold face and was ready to have an argument with her second aunt, Mrs. Duanmu. She saw that the only person in the hall was not Mrs. Duanmu in the beautiful dress, but Wei Shengyi who wore casual clothes and a soft hat.

Wei Changying was stunned, as well as Min Yao and Zhou Xiaoye who led the way. They subconsciously greeted their father-in-law, and they dared not to ask where their mother-in-law had gone. The two wives, who were not very clever, froze on the spot.

Judging from the reaction of these two sisters-in-law, it should be true that they said the second uncle, Wei Shengyi, went out to visit friends and that there was only the second aunt, Mrs. Duanmu, at home now. Wei Changying smiled secretly and thought that she told Mrs. Huang last night that since the second uncle was recognized as a shrewd person, how could he be so easy to be fooled by the second aunt?

He came back when he sensed that something was not right. As for the absence of the second aunt, she should have been sent off by the second uncle.

Looking at this situation, was Wei Shengyi going to end this matter alone with her?

Wei Changying had several thoughts in her mind. She greeted him and said, "The second uncle, I wish you good health."
