The Princess Wei Yang

97.2.Jiang Family's Fourth Son

"He is a man after all. In the end, what can he say to a little girl like me? Rest assured, even my jiujiu can't directly discipline me." Internal affairs within the household and matters in the Imperial court were closely related to one another. To keep the court in harmony, internal affairs must be going smoothly, but men cannot intervene in the conflicts between the Furens in the household.

One must rely on their own abilities to survive. The men of the Jiang family were capable, but could they run to Li Chang Le's courtyard and teach her how to deal with Li Wei Yang? It was simply not practical. However, the Jiang family's greatest fault was their habit of hiding the shortcomings of their own. She sent Da Furen off, so they certainly will not let this go. The case now was the uncertainty of how they would retaliate.

Now that Li Wei Yang finished her meal, Mo Zhu came in to report: "Xiaojie, Qi Yiniang sent someone over with a note this morning. Should Nubi bring it over so Xiaojie can take a look?"

Li Wei Yang thought about it and stood up: "I'll go and see her."

In Qi Yiniang's courtyard, Tan shi was leaning against the side of the bed, embroidering a small bib.

Li Wei Yang looked over, her heart stirring. Her lips curved up as she called out: "Mother."

Overjoyed, Tan shi set her embroidery down. She held onto Li Wei Yang's hands and smiled: "You're back. Are you hungry, let me prepare something for you."

She must have known Li Wei Yang went to the palace. Li Wei Yang smiled: "I already ate. Mother, you don't look too well."

Tan shi touched her face and smiled: "It's nothing concerning, it's just my appetite has not been the same."

Li Wei Yang said: "Mother, this courtyard can be renovated to be more elegant. I will have people buy new furnishings, but first off, Mother should come and stay at my place for a couple days. You can move back in once they have repainted, cleaned, reorganized and furnished the courtyard."

"No need, this place is really good!" Tan shi hurriedly said, "No need to have people work on it!" She was already happy to move from a remote place to this small courtyard: "Da Furen just passed a way a month ago, it won't be too good if I immediately move courtyards."

Li Wei Yang shook her head: "I'm not afraid if anyone knows. Mother, just trust me."

Li Wei Yang dared to say this, proof that she had things in control. Tan shi nodded, her eyes growing glassy with tears.

Li Wei Yang began: "I will come again the evening. Does Mother want to buy anything in particular? I'll have someone buy it for you..."

Tan shi did not want to interrupt her daughter's happiness and said: "I want something new and refreshing..."

Once Li Wei Yang finished asking, Tan shi's eyes were still brimming with tears. Li Wei Yang's heart softened. She always felt she had not treated Tan shi well, but Tan shi was touched by her concern, taking her by surprise. She had to turn her head away and look at the small bib: "Mother, who is this for?"

The small bib was embroidered with mandarin ducks and lotuses, detailed and delicate. Tan shi smiled and said: "Jiu Yiniang will give birth in two months. This is a gift for her."

Li Wei Yang lowered the bib and lightly said: "Mother does not need to worry. There's someone by her side who looks after her." After Da Furen died, Jiu Yiniang moved back in. Li Wei Yang felt keeping a safe distance from this Yiniang was for the best. Although she had Jiu Yiniang's weakness in hand. Although Jiu Yiniang did not betray them, it was because they temporarily shared a common enemy. Now that she was carrying a precious child, coupled with Fuqin's high hopes for a male child... In any case, Li Wei Yang did not want the Li family to change whether Jiu Yiniang had a male or female child, but perhaps others may not agree.
