Golden Branch

Surrounded by the crowd, Wei Qian, dumbfounded by the discussions, suddenly came to his senses.

Then, he heard Wang Mian's "pointing fingers at the mulberry tree and cursing the locust tree".

Wei Qian was anxious and angry. He really wanted to rush to Wang Mian and shout, "What nonsense! Wang Mian, stop talking nonsense!"

What does Wang Lin do have to do with him and the Wei family?

Well, okay, there is some connection.

In order to further win over Wang Lin, Wei Qian has been very close to Wang Lin during this period.

Not only today's Wei family's elegant conversation, but also other elegant gatherings of the aristocratic families, Wei Qian personally brought Wang Lin to participate.

During this period, the Wang family did try to dissuade Wei Qian, reminding him that their husband had just recovered from a serious illness and the princess hoped he could rest well at home.

"Princess? What a bullshit princess! She's just a piece of crap!"

"She is always competing with Anyang for the Princess's Mansion, then the Emperor's favor, and now she is openly plotting against Anyang."

"Relying on a teacher in the Honglu Temple who had learned about the foreign envoys in advance, Wang Jiu found an excuse to escape from the capital, leaving Anyang to take the blame!"

"Anyang was already pitiful enough. Her biological father died in pursuit of the saint. At a young age, she followed her mother to remarry and lived under the roof of the Yang family... After finally making it through and gaining the honor of a princess, she's now being outshined by Wang Jiu!"

Whenever Wei Qian thought of Princess Anyang forcing a smile and secretly shedding tears, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

When Princess Anyang looked at him, the hope and admiration hidden in her eyes made Wei Qian feel like "I am her hero."

Correct!

He is her hero and he will save her from danger.

It's just a marriage alliance.

Isn't it just about sending out a fake princess to deal with the savages from foreign countries?

So what if Langya ran away? She still has a profit-seeking, selfish and cold-hearted father.

The story of Wang Lin offering his wife to his superiors was made into a story and is still circulated in the wine shops and teahouses in the city.

If he could abandon his wife for wealth and glory, he could naturally sell his daughter in order to return to the center of power.

Under Anyang's guidance and with his sister's advice, Wei Qian began to approach Wang Lin and actively brought him into the aristocratic family circle dominated by the Wei family.

Wang Lin once again felt the dignity and reserve of being a son of an aristocratic family, and he cooperated very well with Wei Qian's plan.

Of course, Wang Lin was not completely fooled by Wei Qian.

Wang Lin understood the value of offering his daughter for marriage.

It's not for personal gain, but for the court and the people.

Make peace through marriage and stop the war.

It saves the imperial court from wasting money and food, and protects the government soldiers from casualties.

This is a righteous act for the country and the people. Even if Concubine Jiang is angry and the saint is disgusted, they have to hold their noses and reward him!

After nearly ten years, Wang Lin finally realized that Concubine Jiang was a "heartless and ungrateful" person. She ignored their marriage and would not help him at all.

In this case, he would fight for his own future.

Wei Qian is not a smart man, his calculations are written all over his face.

Wang Lin was not smart either, but he was a dozen years older than Wei Qian.

He saw through Wei Qian's thoughts at a glance, but did not expose him. Instead, he "went with the flow."

Wei Qian used him, and he also used the Wei family behind Wei Qian.

The head of the Wei family is the Prime Minister Wei Pushe. Even a saint would have to look up to him.

If he could make friends with Wei Pushe, Wang Lin's career would surely be extremely smooth.

As for the loss of a princess daughter... Humph, she was just a girl to begin with. Even though she was a princess, she couldn't bring Wang Lin back to the court.

Moreover, no matter how much the outside world praised Princess Langya's filial piety, as the person involved, Wang Lin could still feel his daughter's indifference and hatred towards him.

What an unfilial daughter! She served him not out of true father-daughter love or filial piety, but to gain a good reputation!

This bitch is taking advantage of him!

How could we tolerate Wang Lin who always took advantage of others and treated everyone except himself as a tool?

Interests + resentment, this time Wang Lin betrayed Wang Heng without any psychological burden.

Wei Qian took the initiative to come forward, and Wang Lin cooperated.

The two of them hit it off immediately and had a pleasant collaboration!

Wang Lin personally wrote a letter "Requesting Princess Langya to Marry" and handed it to Wei Qian.

However, before Wei Qian could present it to the emperor, the "letter of request" was stolen.

Wei Qian was shocked and frightened, and always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

But he didn't even know who the other person was.

I don't even know why the other party stole the documents.

What is his relationship with Princess Langya?

Not daring to leak the news, reveal his intentions, and then implicate Anyang, Wei Qian had to keep the matter secret.

He didn't even tell Wang Lin.

He thought that he could give Wang Lin some benefits to coax him to write another one.

Today's conversation was the bait that Wei Qian threw to Wang Lin.

Wei Qian never expected that what should have been a good opportunity to sell his shares would turn into such a difficult situation that he couldn't explain or get rid of.

Wang Lin was not pushed down by him, but when Wang Lin was walking side by side with him at Wei's house, he suddenly fell to the ground... A big and round black pot was accurately placed on Wei Qian's head.

Didn’t you hear what Wang Mian said? She was clearly blaming the Wei family for their inappropriate behavior and Wei Qian for not treating guests well!

"The court doctor is here! Quick! Get out of the way! Let the court doctor see Mr. Wang!"

Just when Wei Qian didn't know how to defend himself, the shouts of Wei's servants were heard outside the crowd.

Upon hearing that the court doctor had arrived, the onlookers automatically made way for him.

A servant in an indigo-colored round robe bowed and led a middle-aged man in.

Wei Qian looked over and found that it was the court physician he employed.

Wei Qian felt relieved and quickly stood up and called out, "Come over here and see how Mr. Wang is doing."

Wei Prajna and other members of the Wei family rushed over after hearing the news.

Wei Prajna was smarter than Wei Qian after all, and on the way here, he already had a general understanding of what had happened.

After arriving, she saw the crowd watching and heard all sorts of discussions. She quickly ordered the court physician, "Doctor, you must treat Mr. Wang well! If you need any herbs, please let me know."

"No matter how precious the medicinal herbs are, our Wei family will find ways to get them."

"Lord Wang is in trouble with the Wei family, so the Wei family cannot escape the blame!"

Without waiting for others to "slander" him, Wei Prajna took the initiative to take responsibility. Seeing this, the guests could not help but sigh:

What a great Wei family! They are worthy of their reputation. Even a young lady can be so brave to take responsibility.

For the Chinese, making mistakes is not scary. As long as they are brave enough to take responsibility and correct their mistakes when they realize them, they can be tolerated and forgiven.

Wang Mian raised his eyebrows: Oh, that’s not bad, she is a talented woman famous in Beijing after all.

This crisis public relations was done quite well.

Unfortunately, Wang Mian will not allow Wei Prajna to become famous by stepping on the Wang family.

"Mrs. Wei is very thoughtful! However, our princess is extremely filial. She has done her best to collect many natural treasures for the sake of Mr. Wang and Mrs. Xie's illness."

"She ordered someone to open a medicine shop just to be able to purchase various medicinal herbs more conveniently."

"The princess also opened up a herbal medicine farm in Mount Li, specifically to grow the herbs needed by her father and mother."

"The Princess's Mansion has long had collections of medicinal herbs worth thousands and millions of gold, such as Tianshan Snow Lotus, thousand-year-old ginseng, and ten-thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum."

Wang Mian loudly praised the achievements of her eldest daughter-in-law and explained the efforts made by the Princess's Mansion to help Xie and Wang's mother and son with their illness.

When everyone heard that Princess Langya had specially opened up a herbal medicine field and spent millions of gold to purchase many rare and precious medicinal herbs that were only found in legends, they couldn't help but be amazed.

What a good Princess Langya, what a filial daughter (granddaughter).

A little girl, still a child herself, can respect her elders, support her younger siblings, and support the huge Wang family.

Unfortunately, his father was not a worry-free person, and his "bad friends" made trouble. The princess spent a huge amount of money to rescue him. The princess was only temporarily out of the capital for official business, but such a disaster occurred.

"Alas, the princess is also a pitiful person."

"Yes, despite her shallow kinship and unkind elders, she still manages to maintain a pure heart."

"...From what Princess Wang said, it seems that the princess is asking her to help look after her before leaving the capital."

"Tsk, what does it matter if the princess has made all the arrangements? There are still some people who can't sit still and insist on courting death."

After hearing what Wang Mian said, everyone sighed again.

Wei Prajna lowered her eyelids slightly, hiding the cold light in her eyes.

"That's even better! The princess is indeed as filial as the Empress praised her to be."

After the polo incident, Wei Prajna had already vaguely felt that Princess Langya was not someone to be trifled with.

This marriage controversy made Wei Prajna see the power behind Princess Langya.

She is not as isolated and helpless as she seems.

And there is Master Lou, who is so shallow that he gave up his job and chased for thousands of miles just for a piece of skin.

As the prime minister, Wei Lingfu had naturally heard the news that Princess Langya and Duke Qi were in Dengzhou.

Wei Pushe knew about it, and his most beloved and valued granddaughter Wei Prajna also knew about it.

Wei Prajna was secretly resentful and even felt a little disappointed with Lou Yu.

But it doesn’t matter, the obsession with appearance is only temporary.

In time, Lou Hanzhang should understand that appearance is fleeting, but only real talent and knowledge are eternal.

Wei Prajna hid her thoughts and plans, and when she raised her eyes again, she was once again the cold, arrogant and reserved lady from a famous family.

She was also generous in praising Princess Langya, which made her appear even more tolerant and noble.

"...How is Mr. Wang? Can he be moved? Can this humble servant take him back to the Princess's residence to nurse him back to health?"

It was said that the Princess's Mansion Chief Secretary, who was going to take a half-month vacation, also rushed to the Wei family as soon as possible.

Seeing this, everyone became more convinced of Wang Heng's utmost filial piety and thoroughness.

……

"Something happened to Wang Lin! He had an 'accidental' fall at the Wei family's house and is now unconscious again!"

In the carriage, Wang Heng looked at the message delivered by carrier pigeon and said with some regret, "Alas, we must hurry!"

A comfortable carriage, a slow journey, she was about to say "goodbye".

Next, she will have to work hard day and night to make her image as a "filial daughter" more perfect.

"Ok!"

Lou Yu nodded, showing his understanding. He held Wang Heng's hand tightly and said, "I'll stay with you!"
