Blessed Daughter

"It's been a while. I didn't dare to disclose it before because I was afraid that someone would find out that it would be bad for the Seventh Prince. What's more, the person who harmed the Seventh Prince has not yet been found. If the other party thinks that the Seventh Prince has encountered an accident and stopped, we will search for it with great fanfare. On the contrary, it will put the Seventh Prince in a dangerous situation." Wei Mingting explained.

"How is the Seventh Prince doing now?" Wei Qingwan asked.

"I haven't seen it either, I only know that there is nothing serious about it." Wei Mingting said.

Wei Ruo was not too surprised by this matter, because he had already learned about it from Mrs. Yuan before.

It's just that Wei Ruo felt a little emotional in his heart. As expected of the hero of the original book, his vitality is not ordinary tenacious, even so he can still be alive and kicking.

Generally speaking, they have been missing for more than a month, and they should have died long ago.

Now that he talked about the matter of the Seventh Prince, Wei Mingting even told his family about some recent events in the court.

"But that is the Seventh Prince, how could someone be so bold as to harm His Highness the Seventh Prince?" Wei Qingwan couldn't help asking.

Wei Mingting did not have an answer to this, and could only tell his sons and daughters: "The battle for the crown prince in the capital has been going on for a long time. After the death of Empress Xu, the emperor has not appointed a new crown queen, nor has he established a crown prince. The court situation."

Although the Seventh Prince is the one who has the most hope of becoming the crown prince among the many princes, as long as the emperor does not make a crown prince for a day, the other princes will still have a chance.

"Why didn't the emperor establish a crown prince for so long?" Wei Qingwan asked again.

Speaking of this, Wei Mingting suddenly frowned, as if recalling something from the past, his expression became a little complicated.

The Yun family on the side hurriedly said: "Wanwan, the court affairs have nothing to do with us, don't ask too much."

Wei Qingwan nodded hurriedly and stopped asking questions.

Wei Mingting also told his family: "Recently, the situation in the capital has changed. Although we are in the south of the Yangtze River and far away from struggles, we must be cautious in our words and deeds outside, and we must not fall into trouble."

Although Wei Mingting did not participate in the court struggle, but as an official, he must restrain himself and his servants to avoid being involved in disputes.

"Father, don't worry, my son will be careful." Wei Yichen took the lead in expressing his opinion. He is studying in Anzhou Academy and will come into contact with many descendants of aristocratic families. The most important thing is to be careful.

Wei Qingwan also followed up and said, "Dad, don't worry, my daughter will never talk nonsense and cause trouble for the family."

Wei Mingting nodded.

Then Wei Mingting turned his attention back to Wei Ruo and asked about the specific matters of Wei Ruo's fight against the plague these days.

Wei Ruo didn't hide it, and answered everything he could.

Although she wasn't staying at the magistrate's mansion these days, she had indeed arranged for the fight against the plague, so she could answer Wei Mingting's inquiries in every detail.

Her answer completely dispelled the doubts of Yun and the others. At first they felt that Madam Yuan's words might be exaggerated, but now it sounds like Madam Yuan's words should be true, and their daughter is indeed making overall arrangements for this matter.

At the end of the chat, even Yun could not help but praise Wei Ruo again and again.

Wei Qingwan shrunk aside, becoming non-existent.

Listening to Wei Mingting, Yun Shi and Wei Yichen's compliments to Wei Ruo, she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.

After chatting for half an hour, considering that Wei Ruo hadn't had a good rest for several days, Wei Mingting let Wei Ruo go back to his yard to rest.

Wei Ruo, who returned to Tingsongyuan, immediately asked about Wei Jinyi's news.

"Has Second Brother returned to Yingzhu Garden?"

"I'm back, I just saw Xiao Bei asked him, the second young master and the young lady returned to the mansion at the same time, but the second young master overcame the wall, it is said that no one in the mansion knows that the second young master has been out of the house." Xiumei replied.

"It's good to be back." Wei Ruo didn't think about what to do, just wanted to make sure that Wei Jinyi had returned home safely.

Then Wei Ruo began to check the letters sent to her by the nanny and steward Yu these days.

The letter explained some of the situation on Zhuangzi during this period. Generally speaking, the situation on Zhuangzi is not bad.

Because the houses are all newly built, they withstood the snow disaster. Moreover, there is enough food in Zhuangzi, and the big guy is basically not hungry. Compared with many people outside, I don't know how much luckier it is.

Two Sibao Zhai, Xuji Lo-Mei Shop and Xuji Grain Shop also had news. After the possible plague, the four shops closed their doors and suspended operations under the order of the nanny.

Wei Ruo was worried that they would risk their business for profit, but luckily the nanny understood her thoughts and closed the shop for a month.

Especially the Xuji Grain Shop, during the Chinese New Year period, the business of other shops may not be good, but the business of the Grain Shop will definitely be good if it is open.

She was worried that the nanny and Uncle Xu would be reluctant to keep this part of the proceeds, but luckily they had the same idea as hers.

In addition, the letter sent by Guanshi Yu recently also mentioned the matter of Zhu Zongyu.

Zhu Zongyu left Zhuangzi three days ago and left five hundred taels of silver notes as a reward and thank you to Wei Ruo.

Zhu Zongyu originally wanted to wait for Wei Ruo to return to Zhuangzi before leaving, but Wei Ruo didn't show up for a long time. Zhu Zongyu seemed to have some urgent business to do, so he could only leave first.

Before leaving, Zhu Zongyu also left a letter saying that he would ask Wei Ruo to buy ointment when Wei Ruo came back.

Because the scar-removing ointment that Wei Ruo prepared for him before is almost used up, and he needs to apply the ointment for a long time before the wound is completely healed.

Wei Ruo didn't have any problem with this. If he gave money and returned a high price, he had a conscience.

As long as you don't cause trouble for her, you can definitely earn the money.

When she is free these few days, she will go to get the ointment out.

The backyard of Zuixianju.

Standing in front of Fan Chengxu was a man dressed in luxurious clothes, but he hid his face with a bamboo hat so that no one could see his face.

Fan Chengxu had a respectful attitude and bowed to the man: "Fan Chengxu, a grassroots man, has met His Highness Seven."

"You, Fan Chengxu, are the only one who doesn't serve as an official in the imperial court to do business in a place far away from the imperial court." Chu Lan commented.

"I have nothing else to do. I'm afraid that being an official will only insult the reputation of the elders in the family. It's better to start a small business and earn some money to live a leisurely life." Fan Chengxu replied.

"Alright, thanks to you doing business here, you helped me a lot when I was in crisis," Chu Lan said.

After Chu Lan finished speaking, his subordinates came to Fan Chengxu with a whole box of gold, silver and jewelry.

"What is His Highness the Seventh Prince doing?" Fan Chengxu asked hurriedly.

"This is a thank you gift." Chu Lan said, "I borrowed you eight hundred taels of silver, and I have to pay it back."

Eight hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and there are not many people in the Taizhou government who can come up with so much silver at once.
