Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Wei Qingwan’s Reaction _1

“My third daughter-in-law, given the current situation, let’s forego asking Queen Rui for help. However, you should still endeavor to mend your relationship with her in the future. You’re very blessed; even though there was a mix-up with your daughters, both are still yours. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity!”

The old Madam Wei said emphatically.

Madam Yun froze for a moment, then responded: “I understand.”

Old Madam Wei continued: “Your son Tingting is at war, unable to properly take care of his household duties. You are the one who has to step up. With Yichen having become the top scholar, both your daughters set to be queens, and even the youngest Yilin behaving sensibly and maturely, you should treasure these blessings. You’re more fortunate than anyone else, even your sisters-in-law, especially the second one. Do you understand?”

Old Madam Wei knew Madam Yun had been recently at loggerheads with the Bai family. She was advising her to look at the bigger picture, and not focus exclusively on the Bai family.

Madam Yun stared at Old Madam Wei, her eyes filled with surprise. She hadn’t realised her mother knew everything.

Then Madam Yun said: “I will heed mother’s advice.”

“If you understand, that’s best. You may go now.”

Old Madam Wei didn’t say much more, seeing that Madam Yun had understood her meaning, she allowed her to leave.

After the younger generation had left, Old Master Wei expressed his anger to Old Madam Wei: “Aren’t you upset at all?”

“Don’t get upset. Anger won’t help. Just as I told our eldest son, can you really pick a fight with Minister Qi or Queen Rui? Even though Queen Rui is our granddaughter, from the moment she married into King Rui Residence, she became someone we must kneel to and greet.”

“Didn’t we treat her well too! She disregarded all our kindness. How can I not be angry?”

“Didn’t our kindness also come with strings attached? To be honest, didn’t we believe that our own flesh and blood daughter was better than whatever we found outside?” Old Madam Wei responded.

“You sure take it easy!” Old Master Wei was still upset.

“Old man, how is worrying going to help us? Think about it, now that the third house is doing so well and we are living comfortably, as long as we can maintain our nobility, the first and second house can’t have it too hard.” Old Madam Wei advised.

“Forget it, I can’t argue with you. The more we talk, the more I seem to be the unreasonable one!” Old Master Wei, unable to argue with Old Madam Wei, waved his hand dismissively, and headed towards the inner room.

Wei Qingwan was waiting in her room for Cuihe to bring her news.

Only a few elders participated in the family meeting in Shou’an Hall, neither Wei Qingwan nor her cousins attended.

Wei Qingwan wanted to know what the older generation had decided, so she sent Cuihe to Shou’an Hall to gather information.

Shortly, Cuihe returned.

“Miss, it’s confirmed, Doctor Xu is gone. The old master and his wife have given up on seeking help from Queen Rui. Most likely, the old master was sacked due to this incident, and he is furious with Queen Rui.”

Hearing Cuihe’s report, Wei Qingwan felt conflicted.

“Doctor Xu… is really dead…” Wei Qingwan said, seeming somewhat absent.
